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.

This episode covers the indictment of former FBI director James Comey over a beach photo showing seashells arranged as “86 47,” which the Justice Department claims could be interpreted as a threat against President Trump. Alex walks through Comey’s response, the legal arguments around free speech, and the broader political context, including past efforts to prosecute him and criticism of the DOJ’s independence. The episode ultimately explores concerns that even weak cases may be used to chill political expression and signal a shift in how federal power is being used.
