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 discussing new reports out of Russia regarding Putin threatening to place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Next, Alex looks into the normalization of the alt-right in Austria and why its far-right, Freedom Party, is looking to do well in the upcoming elections. Alex notes that Austria is an interesting case study into how a country has attempted to balance east and west, yet the Invasion of Ukraine has made this more difficult. Finally, Alex looks into how deep fakes may be flying out of the uncanny valley and may come to an election near you. He discusses how deep fakes are becoming more of a threat for elections, propaganda, and disinformation. He also worries that the next October surprise may really be an October lie from a fake video of someone like Biden or Trump. Alex ends by playing (and then reacting) to a deep fake of President Biden calling for a military draft.
