=======================================
1. ==> Why A MX Trade War Would Be a Disaster
Marc Thiessen says President Trump’s frustration with
the immigration situation is understandable, but he
says tariffs are the wrong way to address the crisis.
“This showdown with Mexico comes just as we engaged
China in a trade war,” says Thiessen. “Imposing tariffs
on Mexico would help China maximize pain for U.S.
businesses and consumers. Why? China and Mexico provide
us with many of the same kinds of products. Right now,
many American families and businesses that buy those
products can avoid the 25 percent tax on Chinese
products by buying the same kinds of items from
Mexico.” He adds, “A two-front trade war would be
devastating to the U.S. economy. China is our real
adversary. Mexico is not.” Marc Thiessen is a columnist
at The Washington Post, a Fox News contributor and a
fellow at the American Enterprise Institute where he
studies and writes about American presidential
leadership and counterterrorism. Thiessen served as
chief speechwriter to President George W. Bush and to
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Contact him at (202)

2. ==> OB/GYNs: Stop Calling Abortion Bans ‘Heartbeat
Bills’
America’s foremost physicians’ group for women’s health
has hit out at U.S. lawmakers who are labeling abortion
bans as ‘fetal heartbeat bills.’ Dr. Ted Anderson,
president of the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists, says the term does not ‘reflect medical
accuracy or clinical understanding’ of fetal
development or science. “Pregnancy and fetal
development are a continuum. What is interpreted as a
heartbeat in these bills is actually electrically
induced flickering of a portion of the fetal tissue
that will become the heart as the embryo develops,”
Anderson says. The ACOG, which represents 58,000
physicians across the US, is calling on politicians to
base policy on “science and evidence” and not opinion.
Meantime, The Guardian news agency has updated its
style guide and instead of using ‘fetal heartbeat
bills,’ as the laws are often called by anti-abortion
campaigners, “six-week abortion ban” will become the
preferred term for the laws. Contact at Kate Connors at

3. ==> This Guest’s Outdoor Adventures Will Give You
Shivers
Most of us have never experienced the natural world the
way Sparrow Hart has. For example, who can say that
they have been charged by bears and has close
encounters with mountain lions? Or stuck around and
sung to a rattlesnake they unexpectedly encountered?
Who spent 700 days in the wilderness alone or got lost
in a canyon five times the size of the Grand Canyon?
Sparrow has done all that and more. He’ll share why he
says today’s man feels alone, isolated, and estranged
from the great rhythms of nature. An entertaining
storyteller, he can reveal how all of us can appreciate
nature more this summer and discover who we are in the
process. Sparrow has had a varied career that includes
being a Phi Beta Kappa at Stanford, working in a
slaughterhouse and leading men’s programs and vision
quests in nature. He is the author of several books
including “Letters to the River: A Guide to a Dream
Worth Living.” Contact him at (801) 516-0740;

4. ==> Father’s Day: Could You Forgive Your Abusive
Dad?
If your dad belittled or hit you, could you forgive
him? Should you? For many people, this is not an
academic question. It isn’t for Dr. Jeanne Sanner,
whose father often hit her with a strap and verbally
abused her. But as a grownup, she is at peace with her
father and herself. Invite her on air to explain why
people like her father approach life with fear and how
knowing that changed her perception of him and led her
to stop condemning him. For others in your audience who
are having forgiveness issues, Jeanne can share a
simple formula she created that has already helped
hundreds of people change their beliefs to lead happier
lives. She is the author of “Finding Unconditional Love
a Little Peace at a Time.” Jeanne has a doctorate in
spiritual studies, a master’s in education and a
bachelor’s in psychology. Reach her at (949) 284-7788;

5. ==> What Dad Really Needs: A Little Self-Love
Mention the concept of self-love and guys will snicker,
their juvenile sense of humor trying to deflect their
discomfort at the idea that loving yourself is in any
way masculine. “Most men have been raised to push their
emotions down and those who are sensitive are told to
‘man up’ and ‘grow a pair.’ It’s not surprising men
don’t embrace the idea of self-love,” says personal
growth expert and author Joffre McClung. “Women are
much more open to the concept, but men may actually
need it more.” McClung will share 5 easy things dads
can do to start or deepen their personal growth
journey, which she says everyone in the family should
support. “From opening up to their emotions to
separating their worth from their jobs, when men love
and support themselves they have more empathy and
compassion, which ripples outward into society.” Joffre
McClung has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs
including CBS TV-Austin TX, Hay House Radio and The Joe
Franklin Show. A former media producer, independent
filmmaker, and author, Joffre’s latest book is “The
Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917) 994-0225

6. ==> This Father’s Day, Take a Dad-less Boy Under
Your Wing
As a divorced dad to two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows how important it is for boys to have
male role models. Since 81 percent of all single parent
households are headed by moms, he sees a real need for
men to get involved with the young males in their
communities. “There is a severe fatherhood deficit in
our society,” he says. “I see young kids out on the
street, doing drugs because nine times out of 10, their
fathers are absent.” Eric can share what men can do to
mentor the young boys in their communities, and how
this benefits society as a whole. “We need more
interaction between the church, the YMCA and other
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
help to keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor Eric is the
second-generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance
Ministries in Richardson, Texas, and the author of the
upcoming book “Are You Ready for Marriage?” Contact him

7. ==> Perfect for Father’s Day… Why You Should Dump
Your Negative Parents, Friends and Family
We all have them – those parents, friends and relations
who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything
and everything and make us feel small and undeserving.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity,
start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break
or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans
believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a
really good chance you’ll turn out just like them.
Evans personally knows how negativity breeds
negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges,
she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a
severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners
is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her
startling story, and help listeners learn real
strategies to change their mindsets and interactions
and take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.
8. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer
Do you know that you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body that you need to know
for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Nelie Johnson, M.D. She’ll discuss what’s been missing
in health care (traditional Western medicine AND
alternative methods) and how patients are best served
when they become an acknowledged part of the health
team. Dr. Nelie Johnson is initiator of the Forum “It’s
Time to Heal,” offering an integrative approach to
treating illness. Her upcoming book is “The Healing
Message of Illness.” Contact Dr. Johnson at (604)

9. ==> Why Do So Many Young People Hate Themselves?
Parenting expert Emily Slingluff tackles some of the
toughest questions being asked today by thoughtful
persons everywhere: Why do many young people hate
themselves? Why do so many choose to be unkind, to
commit violence and break laws? Why would a six-year-
old choose to be a bully? Emily has been writing about
parenting topics for 30 years and has identified what
she says is the real cause of the hatred and mass
shootings that are plaguing our country and their
simple solution! Her newest book is “Choosing
Happiness.” She was named Fulltime Homemaker of the
Year for the State of Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and
Eagle Forum shortly after her first book came out. She
is a graduate of Sweet Briar College with a degree in
government and economics and was an assistant editor at
The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757) 800-0246;

10. ==> 6 Lies about College that Everyone Believes
Lindy and Tom Schneider, co-authors of “College Secrets
of Highly Successful People,” are college success

completing their degrees and getting hired! But did you
know there are many misconceptions about the college
experience parents and students take at face value that
just aren’t true? Interview the Schneiders about the 6
lies colleges want you to believe. LIE: College is a
four-year commitment. TRUTH: 60% of our college
graduates are taking SIX years to graduate! LIE: Going
to an elite college sets your student up for life.

the 21st Century!

to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
friends) who meditate daily? How will this benefit you
by reducing stress and avoiding stress-related
ailments, from headaches to heart problems and from

12. ==> M.D. Shares How to End the Opioid Crisis for
Good
As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as
methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says
that there are other, natural ways to overcome
addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not
just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about
treating their environments and families.” He can also
share natural and over-the-counter remedies that can
expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac completed an
internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at
New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical
director at the Department of Justice as well as

13. ==> Master the Power of Public Speaking!
Eventually we’re all called upon to speak in front of a
group – whether it’s for career, school,
clients/customers, organization, place of worship or a
family gathering. How can one win BIG (rather than
dread) that public speaking? What does it take to have
the needed confidence, charisma and topnotch delivery?
Audiences will thank you for interviewing Jill Jaysen,
a communications and leadership development expert who
says we have all been mis-taught when it comes to
public speaking. Ask her: Why do the same old recycled,
generic formulas and gimmicks (practice at a mirror,
videotape yourself, picture the audience in their
underwear) actually create mediocre speakers? Jill says
put everybody’s clothes back on! Ask her: When does
your speech really start? How does NLP relate? What are
the biggest speaking turn-offs despite what experts
say? Contact Jill Jaysen at (203) 442-9301;

14. ==> Laugh Your Way to Weight Loss and Fitness!
Love food but hate your weight? Find inspiration from a
woman who persevered through 19 years of negative body
image and diet setbacks, but kept her sense of humor
and came out on top. Mary T. Prenon, author of “I’m
Lazy and I Love to Eat,” finally discovered that
laughter really is the best medicine for everything –
including losing 50 pounds. After struggling with
weight issues for almost 20 years, Mary began writing
about her problems as well as really funny events –
like joining a “diet center” sandwiched in between a
pastry shop and fast food restaurant! When her
cardiologist told her she was “heavy,” she jokingly
plotted to kidnap him and stuff him with junk food!
Instead of being sad and depressed, Mary learned to
laugh at herself, turn a bad mood into something
positive, and get motivated. Hear how she used humor to
transform workouts, make healthier food choices and get
in shape – at age 61! Mary works full-time and is all
about quick and easy fitness tips and meal preps. She’s
been featured on NBC’s “Good Morning Connecticut” and
“Coffee Break” in Providence, as well ABC’s “Morning
Blend” in Tucson. Contact her at (914) 552-0983;

15. ==> Is Your Smart Home Spying on You?

16. ==> 10 Small Things You Can Do to Save the Planet
Environmentalists focus on saving the planet on a
broad, global level. However, the small things we all
do daily have the greatest impact. “We all tend to
waste food and other resources,” says author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar. “For example, we
throw out one third of the food we buy. We buy hardwood
furniture that has been illegally logged from Cambodian
national parks. We need to really examine our
consumerism.” Yasmin can discuss small but powerful
ways we can change our daily habits that can have a
dramatically positive impact on the world as whole. In
addition to being an environmental engineer, Yasmin
holds a Master of International Studies degree in Peace
and Conflict Resolution and is the author of “Our
Peaceful Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a
Sustainable Future.” Contact her at

17. ==> 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 1980s. 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 Smith is the
author of “Embracing the Abyss” and a keynote speaker
on ethics and integrity in the workplace and in life.

18. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Cowgirl’
As she entered middle age, Sandra Matheson found
herself divorced, unable to continue her career as a
veterinarian due to work-related chemical sensitivities
and stuck with a money-losing farm, where she got
beaten up by a cow! But she picked herself up, dusted
herself off and set out on a successful career as a
rancher, which became a metaphor for her life. “Getting
older doesn’t mean we have one foot in the grave,” she
says. “We can seize life and wrangle what we want, make
hay while the sun still shines and embrace our
maturity, use what we have learned, do what we want to
and have some fun!” Sandra is the author of the
upcoming “Thrive After 40? How to Seize the Life of
Your Dreams!” Contact Sandra at

19. ==> Are You a Stressed Mess? This M.D. Has the Cure
Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is
experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What
society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects
of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a
solution to enable us to become impervious to the
stressors in our lives. And it does not involve
repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. His online
class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out of Stress is
having phenomenal success in people’s lives, and he can

20. ==> What House Flipping Shows Don’t Tell You
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 audiences how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He is 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.”
