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 with the feud between Ron DeSantis and Disney, why the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” will create a permission structure to be cruel to minority groups, and why he is angry that Jen Psaki is leaving the White House for MSNBC. Then he goes into the statement from a federal judge that said Trump and his allies did commit illegal activity and were basically pursuing “… A Coup In Search Of A Legal Theory.” Alex then goes into new revelations that Trump has withheld over 7 hours of phone records from the January 6th committee. Conveniently, these 7 hours were right when the riots were occurring. Alex then discusses how prosecuting Trump could only feed the conspiracies, and that Trump is more of a political problem than a legal one. He wraps up the episode by going over some updates on Ukraine, in which a Russian fuel depot has been bombed and it looks like things aren’t deescalating too well.
