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 reflects on the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and why he was more popular in the west than in parts of the former Soviet Union. Then he looks at Lindsay Graham and why it seems like he is someone who wants access to power and influence more than anything. He recently said that there will be “riots in the street” if Trump is prosecuted. Some think this is just speculation, but pothers think this is a dangerous thing to say. Later, Alex discusses why Gregg Abbott has bused over 9,000 migrants to New York City and Washington D.C.. He discusses that this is cruel and symbolic, but also may be making a point about our broken immigration system. Finally, Alex discusses the economic issues in Afghanistan a year after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.
