=======================================
1. ==> The Real Trade War: It’s Not What Trump Thinks
While President Trump fixates on tariffs, Orit Frenkel
says the real problem with China is its pursuit of
global digital domination. “While Washington is
targeting Beijing with tariffs over individual trade
grievances, China has been laying the foundation to
direct and influence digital trade — the booming engine
of global commerce — unopposed, with deep pockets and
grand ambitions. This should be our strategic and
diplomatic focus, because what China is doing globally
in this sphere has serious economic and national
security implications for the United States today and
well into the future.” Frenkel says China is ahead of
the US in the race to establish global trade rules on
digital commerce. She says what’s needed is investment,
diplomacy and a Digital Marshall Plan. Orit Frenkel,
former senior manager for international trade and
investment for General Electric, is executive director
of the American Leadership Initiative and president of
Frenkel Strategies. Contact her at @OritFrenkel
2. ==> Inside the National Security Council
At a time when many Americans have doubts about
government and questions about a so-called deep state
of unelected officials controlling policy, the National
Security Council (NSC) is a source of further mystery
and controversy. John Gans, PhD., former chief Pentagon
speechwriter and current director of communications and
research at the University of Pennsylvania’s global
policy institute, says understanding the NSC is
tantamount to grasping the missing link of foreign
policy: who influences the president’s biggest
decisions, how, and why. Invite him on your show for an
inside look at the people and the power of the NSC and
how its role has grown since its creation more than 70
years ago at the start of the Cold War. Dr. Gans is the
author of “White House Warriors: How the National
Security Council Transformed the American Way of War.”

3. ==> Your Game of Thrones Sword Cheat Sheet
Game of Thrones has paid special attention to the most
prominent swords, daggers, and personalized pieces of
weaponry, and the story of which character has which
weapon has become something of a subplot in and of
itself on the show. Domenic Melillo, author of the
popular “Swords of Valor” book series, has conducted
extensive research on swords and is a huge Game of
Thrones fan. Invite him on your show and ask him: How
important are the swords to the GOT thrones series? How
accurate do you think Game of Thrones is in simulating
historical weapons? Are the swords in the series
connected generation-to-generation in certain families
or houses? Contact Mark Goldman at
markgoldman73@gmail.com; call/text (516) 639-0988.
4. ==> May 21st is World Bedwetting Day
Why do so many youngsters avoid camping, sleep-overs
and napping away from home? What deeply embarrasses
adolescents and even older people during vacations,
retreats, field trips and other overnight travels? What
should they know about keeping the bed dry every night?
Just in time for World Bedwetting Day May 21st, Jeff
Lazarus M.D. can answer questions like: How does
hypnosis work to help bedwetters? What should parents,
teachers, coaches and health professionals know? Why do
so many doctors avoid the issue? Do adult diapers only
make things worse? Dr. Lazarus is an acclaimed
pediatrician and speaker. His comprehensive home video
program “Keeping the Bed Dry” incorporates medical
hypnosis for anyone hoping to finally awaken to a dry
bed. Contact him at (216) 800-0498;

5. ==> Interview the Beach Boys Bodyguard Who Saved
Brian Wilson’s Life
Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky co-authored the book “The Beach Boys
Endless Wave: Inside America’s Band” with Ron Hamady, a
veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books, but no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

6. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping
Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy. But according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get
because they have a TV show.” Dan is a long-time
property renovator who can tell your audience how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He’s the
author of “The Effective Landlord: How Owners and
Property Managers Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise
Rents, and Boost Their Bottom Line in Any Market.”

7. ==> Expert Shares Financial Fix for ‘Sandwiched’
Boomers
With the state of health care today, many people live
in fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings and create a financial maelstrom that
their family would never recover from. Did you know
that, if you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of
your death benefits in CASH? David Kottler, also known
as the Insurance Doctor ™, explains how selling off
that life insurance policy you or your loved one
doesn’t need any more can generate the cash to pay

gift to the non-profit of their choice! How is this
possible? Most people don’t know the little-known
secret that when you don’t need your policy any longer
you can auction it off! Find out how! David combines
his legal and business experience with a passion for
philanthropy. His book The Best Kept Money Secret in
Your Insurance Policy details everything your audience

8. ==> How Embarrassing! Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work
When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to ordinary people it won’t
make the news but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact
their career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that
can play havoc with anyone’s image. Tamara can also
dish on the most common fashion blunders seen around
the office that can also wreck your image. She is the

AYrizarry@rtirguests.com
10. ==> Do a Show About Sexism in Hollywood
While female directors are not given their due in
Hollywood, this wasn’t always the case. “In Episode 3
of my TV series ‘Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Food, Travel, and
Lost History,’ I talk about the lack of women directors
in Hollywood,” says Kailin Gow. “But what’s fascinating
is that the earliest pioneers of filmmaking in
Hollywood were women who wrote and directed many silent
films. When films started making money and being
profitable, that’s when many men entered filmmaking and
turned it into a big industry. The pioneer women
filmmakers were forgotten and left behind.” Kailin can
share how women can break through the glass ceiling in
this and other male-dominated industries. She’s a
director/filmmaker, the founder of Sparklesoup Inc. and
an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning
bestselling author who has sold over 5.5 million books.

11. ==> How Domestic Violence Harms All of Us
According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
Lindsley will explain how domestic violence can impact
a company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, cause
long-term health problems in victims, spill over to
schools and workplaces, and involve innumerable police
man hours. He says that’s why a multi-pronged approach
is needed to tackle this madness head on. Curt will
share how communities, organizations and individuals
can come together to curtail this epidemic, starting
today. Curt is the founder of the nonprofit domestic
violence awareness group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go
Purple Day™ (Oct. 1); and co-founder of the Covington
Domestic Violence Task Force, official sponsor of
Purple Light Nights®. Contact Curt at
clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092.

13. ==> What the FBI Got Right!
John Smith was an ordinary guy who spent 5 years in
public accounting only to get caught up in the S&L
crisis during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned,
everything at his company was above board – until the
FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
to hear his incredible true story of perseverance and
grit. His warning to your audience is this – If it can
happen to him it can happen to YOU. Smith worked
diligently with the FBI for years, helping to put away
the guilty people involved. Fifteen years after his
sentencing they finally admitted that he should never
have been prosecuted in the first place – and
encouraged him to apply for a Presidential Pardon! John

14. ==> Best-Kept Secrets of Successful Teenagers
Teenagers are often known for being moody or silly, and
seemingly lost among the worry and angst of their
“almost an adult” years. But what about those teens who
are happy, hopeful, well-adjusted, and making confident
progress academically and in their everyday lives? What
do they know that could help ALL young people? Explore
this with acclaimed author Paul Bernabei, whose books
of the Top 20 series include “TOP 20 Teens.” He’ll
reveal how today’s most successful teens think smarter
and foster positive beliefs while learning from their
mistakes. Bernabei will also talk about social-
emotional learning and how this benefits students in
personal and school life. Audiences (teens and their
mentors/parents/teachers) will also hear must-know
lifelong secrets for “people-smart” communication,
conflict resolution, demonstrating kindness,
specializing in effective responses and much more.

15. ==> Suicide Prevention Begins in Preschool
Suicide prevention is often ineffective with its focus
on the symptoms of impending suicide. Meanwhile,
negative beliefs that lead to depression and suicide
get started very early in childhood. Author and
educator Anne Andrew, Ph.D., says a better idea is to
focus on the cause of suicidal thinking: self-loathing;
it is a result of negative beliefs children pick up
between birth and age eight, at a time when kids are
self-centered. Anne can offer parents in your audience
multiple strategies they can use now to increase their
child’s self-worth to reduce the risks of a possible
suicide later. She spent 20 years as a school principal
at Temple Sholom in Vancouver. Dr. Andrew is a Choose
Again facilitator, parenting coach and speaker who
presents workshops in the U.S, Canada and Europe. She
is the author of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal
Class: The Key to Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.”

18. ==> “My Grandfather was the Most Interesting Man in
the World”
Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
