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 expressing his worries around an increasingly strong alliance between Russia, North Korea, and Russia. He worries that as the United States and Russia have pulled out of nuclear accountability treaties like New Start, Russia and China may attempt to strengthen their arsenals. North Korea could be a perfect playground for these nations. For the rest of the episode, Alex discusses how Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after his seditious actions leading up to January 6th. Alex breaks down why seditious-conspiracy charges can be easier to prosecute than treason charges. He also talks about why this form of accountability is crucial.
