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 lamenting the recent comments put fourth by Peter Meijer, one of the only Republican Congressmen to impeach Trump after January 6th. Meijer is now running for the senate in Michigan and has changed his tone on Trump. Alex breaks down why this is disappointing and probably not going to work. Next, Geert Wilders, a far-right Dutch politician, and his Party for Freedom, shocked Dutch voters. The PVV won the most seats in parliament and now must form a coalition. Wilders is an islamaphobic leader with a lot of baggage and a lot of problems. Later, Alex talks about the maiden voyage that never happened of a cruise that was supposed to sail the world for three years. Reports state that people arrived in Istanbul to depart on the cruise, but the company eventually stated that it didn’t have the boat and the cruise was cancelled. Some people had sold their businesses and homes to go on this cruise. Finally, Alex rants about Turkey Trots and why they perfectly highlight the contrast of excess and purity in American culture.
