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 how Chris Christie was caught on a hot mic bashing the other candidates and saying that Nikki Haley had not chance. As Christie dropped out, many thought he would endorse Haley and his supporters would go to her, this may not be as likely. For the rest of the episode, Alex talks about how the United States and the United Kingdom finally responded to the Yemeni located, Houthi Rebels, that have been attacking ships in the Red Sea for over a month. The two countries carried out more than 60 sea and aerial attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen hoping to get the terrorist group to budge. Alex argues that this is a volatile moment because it looks like the Israel-Hamas war could expand. He also looks into how Iran’s funding of proxies around the region may have backfired as the Houthis could finally make Iran’s shadow war on the west a real war.
