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 discusses how most of the Republicans that are condemning Trump for his Mar-a-Lago dinner with Fuentes and Ye are only condemning Trump because they know it is bad for their brand. They are not doing it because of a moral shift. This makes them likely to shift back towards him if the calculation is correct. Then Alex discusses Trump’s taxes and new reports that House Democrats have obtained over six years of his federal tax information. What will these documents reveal about Trump’s time in office? Later, Alex discusses reports from places like the New York Times that the leader of the Oath Keepers, and one of his fellow members, were convicted of seditious conspiracy after the events of January 6th. Alex discusses why sedition was a better charge than treason. After, Alex discusses how the Respect for Marriage Act just passed the Senate and will move to the House. Finally, Alex expresses his concerns about the energy crisis in Europe, what increased protectionism by the United States will do to Europe, and what a decline in foreign investment will do to the European Union. He worries an economic and geopolitical row is coming.
