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 an NPR report from the Arlington National Cemetery. Apparently, Trump campaign officials tried to film in parts of the cemetery that were off limits and it led to an altercation between campaign staff and cemetery staff members. Alex thinks this is a political move to film the graves of certain soldiers that died during the fall of Kabul three years earlier. Next, Alex analyzes a new piece in the Atlantic that goes into how Kash Patel, a former Trump official, could play a dangerous and crucial role in a Trump 2.0 administration. Finally, Alex looks into how a recent Israeli operation in the West Bank, that is occupied by Israel, shows that the conflict is increasingly out of control. He also talks about why one side may prefer a temporary ceasefire while the other wants a permanent one.
