Vice President JD Vance Takes on James Talarico as 2026 Midterms Heat Up
Oct 1, 20261h 11m
Mark’s reported monologue reveals the key elements of Team Trump’s midterm homestretch messaging, explained through Vice President JD Vance's latest stump speech, delivered this week in Texas, complete with colorful attacks on Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, and the themes, villains, and imagery that the White House thinks can carry them to victory. Plus, Emma-Jo Morris joins to discuss how long President Trump will continue to dominate the political conversation, the challenges facing the left, and the potential 2028 Republican field if JD Vance and Marco Rubio ultimately don't run for president. Eric Metaxas joins to discuss his new book, “Revolution,” bringing to life the extraordinary lives and heroism of America's original Founding Fathers, and the ideas that shaped America. Mark also takes a look at what’s next for artificial intelligence under the Trump administration, after yet another historic week of technological, political, and economic developments.

The 3 Senate Seats Republicans Can ACTUALLY Flip
Sep 29, 20261h 3m
Mark Halperin’s reported monologue goes inside four battleground Senate races Republicans may actually win – three flips and one key hold. Mark explains why Republicans have a chance to take all four… and what that means for the prospect of a blue wave nationally. The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olahan explains how liberal media bias is a big factor inside the White House… and how the Trump Administration feels about Republicans’ chances in the midterms. New York Congressman Mike Lawler (R) joins to discuss his re-election campaign, one of the hottest House races in the country, just a day after his closely watched debate. He explains the formula he has used to defy the odds, while being targeted by Democrats to hold onto a district won by Kamala Harris two years ago.

How the 2026 Midterms Will ACTUALLY Unfold for Republicans
Sep 17, 20261h 4m
Mark’s reported monologue takes a fresh look at the 2026 midterms and reveals a totally different pair of scenarios from the current pundit mushy convention wisdom.  Could we be headed for either a Blue tsunami or a death-defying Republican tactical win? The Federalist Contributor Evita Duffy-Alfonso joins to discuss issues really weighing on families, her political clan, and her husband Michael Alfonso's Wisconsin House campaign. Then the author of "Profit From The Profit", David Bahnsen, explains the Federal Reserve's rate hike, AI’s trillion-dollar investment boom, and how you can be making real money from the stock market. Plus, Mark replies to the latest reactions to his “8 for ’28” Democratic presidential rankings.

FAQs

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.
