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 tries to utilize the skills related to Trump’s “weave.” He talks about a recent New York Times interview with General Kelly, in which the former chief of staff calls Trump a fascist. Alex relates this revelation to other moments where Trump has wished his generals to be more like Hitler’s, has disparaged veterans, and recently said he wouldn’t pay $60,000 for the funeral of a soldier because she was Mexican. Alex then weaves over to updates in Ukraine. North Korea has sent troops to train in Russia as experts worry the world is getting closer to a larger conflict that could bring in countries like the United States. All of this is relevant to Alex as he asks his listeners — as the world seems to be on the brink of a larger conflict, do you want someone back into power that doesn’t understand the military, serving a higher power, or the honor it brings to someone?
