America is no longer United. Not in values, direction, or trust. Power has centralized in Washington, weakening the states and disconnecting us from the communities that once held us together. Instead of solving problems locally, we rely on distant systems that waste resources and impose control. What we're left with is a fractured republic - and a reckoning ahead.Hosted by Dr. Rick Becker, this podcast confronts that reality. Civil War, National Divorce, or a return to Federalism (decentralize). It's time to face the truth and ask the questions no one in power will: what path will we choose?

The Disunited States? Ryan Griffiths on Secession, Polarization, and Federalism
Nov 26, 20251h 2mS1
<p>Political scientist Ryan D. Griffiths, author of The Disunited States, joins WDF to explain why America’s trendy calls for “national divorce” are, in his words, practically unworkable and likely dangerous. We dig into his global research on secession, the “sovereignty game,” Texas v. White, and why peaceful breakups are rare. Rick pushes him on radical decentralization, soft secession, and what happens if polarization keeps rising under Trump and future presidents. Does secession fix anything—or just light the fuse?</p><p><br></p><p>Ryan Griffiths, The Disunited States, secession, national divorce, soft secession, sovereignty game, Texas v. White, radic...
No Middle Ground: Freitas on the Coming Choice for America
Nov 5, 20251h 3mS1
<p>Is federalism a lifeline—or a fantasy? Green Beret–turned–Virginia delegate Nick Freitas says America’s split is a worldview war, not a policy disagreement. We press him on national divorce, blue-state “soft secession,” and what it would take to win under the current system. From education and demographics to the Fed and the 16th/17th Amendments, this is a tactical map for liberty—or fracture—over the next decade. Win, decentralize, or break. Which future are we building?</p><p><br></p><p>Nick Freitas, WDF podcast, federalism, national divorce, civil conflict, decentralization, soft secession, state sovereignty, 10th Amendment, 16...

Decentralize to Survive: Rossini on Federalism, Separation, and War
Oct 22, 202554 minS1
<p>Is civil war unlikely—but peaceful separation inevitable? Chris Rossini of the Ron Paul Liberty Report joins WDF to map real-world federalism, why D.C.’s corporate state drives polarization, and how sound money reforms could defuse conflict. We probe tariffs as worker-taxes, the revolving door, and whether states can build parallel systems to resist federal strings. If decentralization is the off-ramp, what are the triggers, timelines, and guardrails?</p><p>war, national divorce, federalism, decentralization, secession, sound money, Federal Reserve, tariffs, corporate state, CBDC, anti-commandeering, Ron Paul Liberty Report, Chris Rossini, Rick Becker, WDF</p><p>00:00 The Case for...
Tavern Roundtable: Is a United America Unsalvageable?
Sep 25, 20251h 2mS1
<p>What if “unity” now guarantees authoritarian outcomes? Our Tavern Roundtable lays it bare: polarization, power worship, and punitive politics push America toward a cliff. Using the marriage/divorce lens, we test whether peaceful separation beats escalation—and why state-level sovereignty plays (gold depositories, tax independence) signal the post-D.C. future. Dark but honest—and focused on non-violent exits.</p><p><br></p><p>secession, national divorce, federalism, soft secession, polarization, Charlie Kirk, John Brown analogy, free speech, decentralization, anti-commandeering, state sovereignty, Texas, California, Wyoming gold, property tax debate, city-states, peaceful separation, WDF podcast, Rick Becker</p><p><br></p><p>00:00...
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
