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.

Alex opens the podcast by reacting with disbelief to public responses to an attempted assassination, arguing that labeling Donald Trump a threat to democracy does not justify violence. He then discusses reporting about a proposed redesign of U.S. passports that could feature Trump, noting how unusual this would be and exploring its political symbolism. Finally, Alex shifts to global affairs, analyzing the United Arab Emirates decision to leave OPEC, explaining the geopolitical tensions behind it and its potential impact on oil markets and regional alliances.
