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.

After being away on vacation, Alex returns for an episode reacting to some recent world events. He starts by sharing his thoughts on the new House Speaker, Mike Johnson. Alex argues that Johnson, an election denier and far-right congressmen, may be the worst option. Later, Alex talks about Yemen’s Houthi rebels entering the war (backed by Iran) to fire rockets at Israel. He also talks about why he doesn’t support a ceasefire but does support more pressure on the Israeli government and a halt in indiscriminate bombings that are killing thousands of civilians. There are also international alliances that could make the conflict even more dire to the globe.
