Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex starts by speculating about whether Tucker Carlson will challenge Fox News. He also discusses how some new leaks actually may help Carlson and could hurt Fox News. Next, Alex looks at the death (or maybe murder) of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway a week ago. Alex argues that this case is not black and white. Later, Alex dives into the previous weekend of mass shootings in the United States that put the country to over 202 mass shootings in 2023. Finally, Alex rants about a new Chinese movie called Born to Fly. Some worry that the movie could normalize a war between the United States and China. The Economist notes that “ ‘Born to Fly’ is ‘Top Gun’ with added nationalist grievance and no sex. If it is a hit in China’s cinemas, it should alarm the world like a beaten drum.”
