=======================================
1. ==> The GOP Power Grab Behind Census Question
The New York Times reports that the hard drives of a
dead political strategist reveal the Trump
administration’s decision to add a citizenship question
to the 2020 census was part of an alleged plot to help
elect white Republicans. Raul Reyes says the
revelations won’t surprise anyone following the ongoing
legal wrangling, but it is startling. “On this issue —
which will affect the day-to-day lives of millions of
Americans for years– the Trump administration has
consistently acted in bad faith and with disregard for
the integrity of the census. It is a national disgrace
that the Trump Administration appears to be using the
census as a tool of voter suppression.” Every 10 years
since 1790, the census has counted all the people in
the country. Reyes says the word ‘citizen’ does not
appear in the provision and the framers’ intent was
clear: Apportionment was to be based on a count of all
persons — whether they were citizens or not. Raul
Reyes is an attorney, journalist, and television
commentator in New York City. Contact him at
Raul@RaulAReyes.com
2. ==> ‘Nasty’ – Why Trump’s Misogyny Matters
In a 2016 TV interview, Meghan Markle called then-
candidate Donald Trump “misogynistic…and SO vocal
about it.” In an interview with a British tabloid ahead
of his trip to Europe this week, Trump was asked about
Markle’s comments. “I didn’t know that she was nasty. I
hope she is OK. …” he said. Trump has always defended
his treatment of women by claiming he wasn’t sexist,
pointing to high-ranking women in his administration,
but Kate Manne, author of “Down Girl: The Logic of
Misogyny,” says sexism isn’t the same as misogyny.
“Misogyny involves punishing women who don’t act the
way men want them to.” She says one way to identify
misogyny is to contemplate whether men in comparable
positions would get the same treatment. Many people
mistakenly think misogyny involves hating all women,
but “misogynists can love their mothers,” writes Manne.
“Not to mention their sisters, daughters, wives,
girlfriends, and secretaries…They need not hate women
universally, or even very generally. They tend to hate
women who are outspoken, among other things.” Kate
Manne is an assistant professor at the Sage School of
Philosophy at Cornell University. Contact her at

3. ==> New Beatles Flick – Will ‘Yesterday’ Be Sure
Hit?
Writer-director Danny Boyle’s musical comedy
“Yesterday,” about the only guy who remembers the
Beatles, won’t be appearing in movie theaters until
June 28 but the time to talk about it is now. What
makes the Beatles so unforgettable? How did they change
music forever? Why are they still so relevant that a
big movie studio would make “Yesterday”? Will their
legacy go on forever even after people no longer
remember The Rolling Stones or The Who? Get the
answers to these questions and more with Susan Shumsky
as your guest. Susan regularly regales Beatles fans
with fascinating facts about the Fab Four’s “White
Album” and their lives in the 1960s. Susan spent 22
years living in the ashrams of the Beatles’ guru. She

4. ==> Do a Show on the 10th Anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s Death
We are approaching the 10th anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s passing from an overdose of the powerful
anesthetics propofol and benzodiazepine. As you will
recall, Jackson was preparing for a massive comeback
tour and had difficulty sleeping. Michael E. Platt,
M.D., internationally known for his innovative approach
to treating the cause of illness, will reveal the
surprising reason that likely led to Jackson’s chronic
insomnia and why creative people are more likely to
suffer from it. He’ll also share ways that Jackson
could have turned the situation around within 24 hours
through the addition of two nutrients used in
conjunction with a hormone cream. But more than just
providing interesting information about a talented
icon, Dr. Platt will explain how other people can learn
from Jackson’s case to improve their own well-being.
Michael E. Platt has been a board-certified internist

5. ==> Alex Trebek and Surviving Stage Four Cancer
Beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek says his stage 4
pancreatic cancer is in “near remission,” according to
his doctors. He tells PEOPLE, “It’s kind of mind-
boggling … The doctors said they hadn’t seen this
kind of positive result in their memory.” Anthony
Randle’s wife, Jessica, also faced a grim prognosis
when she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer,
and she too defied doctors’ expectations! Invite Randle
to discuss what he believes saved his wife’s life, what
he found in his own research, and how it helped her

6. ==> Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Lessons on Fatherhood
Fabled civil rights and sports icon Muhammad Ali—the
father of nine who died on June 3, 2016— coached one of
his daughters to an undefeated boxing career. But it
was not in-the-ring coaching in the typical way. It was
dad-to-daughter coaching that yielded stupendous
results! Nita Wiggins, a former boxing coach and judge,
can dissect the fun and inventive ways less famous dads
can perform like Ali. In addition to knowing the sport
that unified the Alis, Nita writes about her four days
as a journalist in Ali’s entourage in her new book,
“Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and
Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her

7. ==> How to be a Good Father When Your Father Wasn’t
It’s natural to think about fatherhood as Father’s Day
approaches. For example, what does it mean to be a good
father today? How can men be great dads when their own
father left a lot to be desired? Find out when you
interview Wade Meadows, who triumphed over his own
abusive childhood that included a workaholic father to
be the father he wished he had had for his two

Lenmark offers comfort. While growing up in a
Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an
undertaker, Margo learned a lot about life from her
dad, before and after he passed away. “I can share
fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”

people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her

10. ==> Discover Why Global Travel is Safer Than You
Think
For some people, worries about crime and terrorism are
enough to rule out travel outside the U.S. And that’s a
shame, says internationally acclaimed travel expert
Chris Herrmann, who points out that when it comes to
being fearful many folks are their own worst enemy.
Chris can share the fears that nearly kept him back
from an amazing backpack trip he took around the world
at age 62 as well as ways to ensure that your own

11. ==> How the Catholic Church Got Away with Child
Abuse
The church child sex abuse scandal has dominated the
news in recent times, with thousands of victims from
around the world coming forward. Shockingly, many
clergy members have received mere slaps on the wrist.
According to Raleigh Sadler, a Christian reverend and
founder of the human trafficking awareness group Let My
People Go, it’s a matter of too much power. “These
institutions are very powerful, which is why abusers
often aren’t prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law,” he says. That’s why Raleigh and his group are
working toward ensuring that churches are sanctuaries
where the most vulnerable among us can feel safe, and
he can share what society as a whole can do to end the
horror. He is the author of the critically acclaimed
book “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.”

15. ==> Spine Surgeon Reveals…Why Not Relaxing This
Summer Can Land You Flat on Your Back

16. ==> The Secret to Decoding Your Dreams
From terrifying nightmares to ridiculous romps with
crazy characters and bizarre locations, your nightly
adventures aren’t random at all. They reveal a lot
about what’s going on in your life, but deciphering
them can be confusing, to say the least. Dream analyst
Layne Dalfen says your dreams are actually
conversations you have with yourself about specific
current issues in your life. She says, “The solution
you’re looking for about what (or who) in your life is
bugging you this week will appear in your unconscious
mind before it gets to your conscious. Dream analysis
gives you the power to decide how you want to respond
to people and situations in your life.” Dalfen will
teach listeners a step-by-step method to decode those
dreams and use the knowledge to help make decisions and
deal with difficult situations. Layne Dalfen teaches
