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?
