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 talking about how a potential ceasefire deal has been reached between Ukraine and the United States. Now the pressure is on Russia to agree to the 30-day ceasefire. Next, Alex mentions that the House will be voting today to prevent a government shutdown. Speaker Johnson still faces some internal opposition ahead of the vote. For the rest of the episode, Alex talks about how the Trump Administration is going after left-wing antisemitism because it is left-wing rhetoric and not because the administration actually wants to combat hateful rhetoric. Alex uses examples such as MAGA defending and protecting people that have used racist/antisemitic rhetoric on their side, but now threatening to deport activists that are being label terrorists. Alex talks about the troubling situation with Mahmoud Khalil’s detention. He also talks about the administration defending Colombia University. He thinks MAGA is using antisemitism as a pretext to limit the free speech of its opponents.
