=======================================
1. ==> Will Trump’s Pardon Party Include Himself?
President Trump kicked off the week with a novel
constitutional claim: That he has the “absolute right”
to pardon himself. Asha Rangappa says it’s not
surprising that pardon power holds so much appeal for
Trump. She says his targeted use of the pardon power so
far — including ones he is currently considering —
gives us a window into how he views the pardon power.
“Consciously or not, he appears to see the pardons as a
personal weapon for him to use in potentially achieving
four things in the special counsel investigation.”
She’ll explain what that is and whether Trump could
actually pardon himself. Asha Rangappa is a senior
lecturer at Yale University’s Jackson Institute for
Global Affairs and a former associate dean at Yale Law
School. She served as a Special Agent in the New York
Division of the FBI and has been a contributor on
numerous television and radio outlets. Contact her at

2. ==> Iran Nukes – Fall-Out from US Withdrawal
Tehran informed the UN’s nuclear watchdog this week it
was beginning the process of increasing its capacity to
enrich uranium. This, after the US withdrew from a 2015
nuclear deal that limited Iran’s nuclear capabilities
in return for a partial lifting of sanctions. Middle
East energy expert Dr. Ellen Wald says attempts by Iran
and the EU to reassure international businesses that
the nuclear deal is still valid despite America’s
withdrawal seem to be falling on deaf ears. She’ll
discuss Iran and EU energy issues, including the
announcement by GE to pull out of all deals to sell
pipelines to Iranian companies and to close its Iran
office. Wald is the President of Transversal Consulting
and an expert on the global energy industry, Middle
East politics and history. A Non-Resident Scholar at
the independent D.C. think tank, the Arabia Foundation,
she is also a professor at Jacksonville University and
the author of “Saudi, Inc.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer
at (703) 646-5137; johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden
at (703) 646-5188.
3. ==> Did Russia Really Meddle in US Election?
Jack Matlock Jr., ambassador to the Soviet Union from
1987 to 1991, recently wrote, “I did not personally
vote for Trump, but I consider the charges that Russian
actions interfered in the election, or — for that
matter — damaged the quality of our democracy
ludicrous, pathetic, and shameful. … I should add
‘dangerous’ because making an enemy of Russia, the
other nuclear superpower — yes, there are still two —
comes as close to political insanity as anything I can
think of.” Invite Jackson Lears to discuss Russian
hacking in the 2016 election and whether Matlock is
correct. Lears teaches history at Rutgers University
and is the author of “What We Don’t Talk about When We
Talk about Russian Hacking.” Contact him at
tjlears@history.rutgers.edu
4. ==> Is Capitalism Incompatible with Christianity?
The global financial crisis of 2008 created an
insatiable market for alternative economic theories and
that groundswell of support continues. Capitalism has
created a society where the rich get richer and the
rest fight over the crumbs. Invite Dr. Kenneth Barnes
to discuss whether Capitalism can work for everyone,
what Millennials don’t understand about Free Market
Capitalism, and whether Jesus was a Socialist. Prior to
his academic career, Kenneth Barnes spent many years as
a senior international executive for multiple
multibillion dollar companies. He currently teaches at
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Oxford
University. His latest book is “Redeeming Capitalism.”

5. ==> Happy Birthday, Prince! Behind-the-Scenes
Stories
Today, music icon Prince would have turned 60 years
old. It’s been two years since he was found dead in his
Paisley Park mansion and still, many questions remain
about the man, his life and his music. Invite
documentary filmmaker and author Duane Tudahl to
discuss the man behind the music, his obsessive drive
and demand for total control, and how Purple Rain
catapulted him from a cult-favorite to a superstar.
You’ll learn: Was Prince really a devout Jehovah’s
Witness? What’s in his mysterious and legendary vault
and will we ever get to hear it? Who was the love of
his life? How does Prince’s music and legacy rank in
the history of pop music? What was the secret to his
success? Tudahl spent 20 years interviewing over 40
band members, singers, and engineers for his acclaimed
book “Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions:
1983 and 1984.” He’ll share their personal, never-
before-heard stories from inside the studio. Contact
him at (818) 726-8638 (CA); duane@duanetudahl.com
6. ==> Miss Falling Asleep to Bob Ross? There’s an App
for That!
Bob Ross, the 1980s art instructor and cult TV host of
The Joy of Painting on PBS, was best known in his day
for his full head of hair, quirky catchphrases and
mellow manner. Indeed, so mellow was his manner and
soothing his voice that 23 years after his death three
classic episodes of his old show are being revived and
repurposed as calming bedtime stories for grown-ups.
“We’ve had so many Calm users asking us for a Sleep
Story with Bob Ross,” says Alex Tew, co-founder of
Calm. “He was and still is a hero to the hard of
sleeping.” Calm.com is an app for meditation and sleep
and was recently named Apple’s 2017 iPhone App of the
Year. Contact Todd Brabender at 785.842.8909;

7. ==> Just in Time for Father’s Day, Parenting Tips
for Single Dads
Apostolic Pastor Eric Hawthorne, a divorced single dad,
claims that there is a severe “fatherhood deficit” in
modern society. “I see young kids out on the street,
doing drugs because nine times out of 10, their fathers
are absent,” he says. As a dad of two boys aged 10 and
12, Eric takes an old-fashioned, hands-on approach to
raising his kids. He adds: “I teach them to respect and
how to treat women. I teach them how to be responsible.
Every Saturday, I give them tasks such as cleaning,
doing dishes, making their beds. I also teach them
about responsible money management, and how to provide
for a family. I give them an allowance and teach them
how to save. It’s natural to them. I prepared them from
an early age.” 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 at hiitselh@yahoo.com, or (972)
464-6563.
8. ==> For Father’s Day, Help for Dads with Daughters
Women have traditionally represented the highest
percentage of consumers of books about love, marriage,
parenting and other seemingly feminine topics. However,
best-selling author of female empowerment titles Kailin
Gow has made a surprising discovery. “Men are also
followers of mine,” she says. “I am finding out that
men are reading books normally geared toward women
because there is a lack of books for men, such as
parenting books.” So just in time for Father’s Day,
Kailin has released a book especially for dads:
“Raising Strong Daughters: What Fathers Should Know.”
She can share how dads can help to empower their
daughters in the age of the #MeToo movement, school
violence and other challenging life situations young
girls experience. Kailin is a long-time female
empowerment advocate, the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.,
an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning
bestselling author who has sold over 5.5 million books,
and director/filmmaker. She is also the author of the
recently released “Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Guide.” Contact
her at Kailin@sparklesoup.com, or (617) 744-9001.
9. ==> Scammers are Targeting Your Dad
Scammers, con artists and thieves prey upon the
elderly. When dad (or mom) age, they’re often living
alone for the first time, perhaps suffering from some
cognitive issues. Thieves know their vulnerabilities
and seek opportunities to steal their money. Invite
William Francavilla to share things you can do to
minimize your loved ones being scammed by unwelcome and
unsolicited phone calls, home repair rip-off artists
and even romance hoaxes. Francavilla is the author of
“The Madoffs Among Us, Combat the Scammers, Con Artists
and Thieves Who Are Plotting to Steal your Money.” He’s
a CFP and former senior vice president, director of
Wealth Management for Legg Mason who has extensive
media experience. Contact him at (757) 870-4590;

10. ==> Understanding New Breast Cancer Chemo Findings
New research in New England Journal of Medicine
indicates 2/3rd of women with most common cause of
breast cancer can forgo chemotherapy. Who should get
chemotherapy and who shouldn’t? Invite Dr. Jim Roach to
help listeners understand the new findings. What are
vital approaches to double outcomes with chemotherapy
while reducing side effects by half? How can those
skipping chemotherapy be certain they are on the right
path? What are key strategies in prevention and
management of breast cancer? For over a decade double-
boarded Dr. Jim Roach has successfully used functional,
integrative strategies with his patients. Jim Roach MD,
ABOIM, ABIHM, is a leading integrative practitioner who
has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs. His new
book “”Vital Strategies in Cancer” will be released in
the fall. Contact him at (859) 846-4453 (office) or at
jproach@aol.com
11. ==> Weinstein and Why Men Claim Rape is Consensual
Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein appeared in a
New York City courtroom Tuesday and pleaded not guilty
to two counts of rape and one count of a criminal sex
act, less than a week after a grand jury indicted him.
His attorney insists Weinstein never had nonconsensual
sex and that a trial will clear the disgraced mogul’s
name. Author and rape survivor Joyce Short says, “The
word ‘consent’ is the most misunderstood in the English
language. Our penal codes must standardize the true
meaning of consent across the US, and hopefully,
beyond.” Short will explain the meaning of consent and
discuss what changes are needed in our laws to combat
sex crimes and get predators behind bars. Joyce Short
advocates for sexual assault victims around the world.
She’s been awarded a “Woman of Distinction” honor by
the NY State Assembly and is fighting for new laws on
consent across the US. Contact her at (917) 517-8572;

12. ==> US Open – Have Deadlifts Damaged Spieth’s
Putting?
Golfer Jordan Spieth was ranked 8th last year in putts
3′ and under. This year he’s ranked 205th! What’s
happened? Some say the problem is a mental one, but Bob
Prichard believes it’s entirely physical and due to
damage from lifting 380 lb. weights. “I see it in
golfers all the time. Weight-lifting builds muscle by
tearing muscle fibers, but you also create scar tissue
that can’t be released by stretching. It accumulates
over time, reducing flexibility in the back, shoulders
and neck.” Prichard runs the Somax Performance
Institute. Hear why he suspects the condition has
affected other pro golfers like Tiger Woods, David
Duval and Jason Day–as well as weekend duffers.
Prichard will share simple ways to test for the
condition, and explain how releasing microfibers can
correct the problem and improve performance, reverse
age-related stiffness and back pain. Prichard’s
athletes have won 44 Gold Medals, and set 11 World
Records. His golfers have won the US Open and improved
their putting from #113 to #1. An NBC Sports Olympics
on-air analyst, his new book is “Are You Robbing Your
Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at (415) 435- 9880 (CA);

13. ==> Why Should We Be Concerned About Africa?
Sylvanus Ayeni warns that the security of the world is
at stake as long as the widespread poverty in the
nations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to
worsen. “As perpetrators of terror are driven from
their enclaves in the Middle East and elsewhere, these
poor nations in SSA with dilapidated infrastructure and
defense apparatus could become safe havens for
terrorist organizations.” Ayeni says another area of
concern is the threat of global epidemics. “The
2014/2015 Ebola epidemic which began in West Africa is
a reminder of the global consequences of the poor
healthcare systems in the nations of SSA.” Ayeni, a
retired neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Dr. Ayeni president of Pan
Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him

14. ==> Why Businesses Should Hire Boomers Instead of
Millennials
There is an illegal but persistent prejudice in hiring
practices today, with recruiters and employers using
technology tools to screen out older workers who never
get a chance at a job interview. But it shouldn’t be
that way, according to Diane Huth, marketing expert and
career coach. Let her share the 10 key reasons
employers should (but don’t yet) value mature workers,
and how baby boomers can leverage those insights to
keep their current job or find a new or better one.
Explore with Diane the disconnect between the hiring
goals of the CEO and the young HR team that screen out
older workers before their resume is ever seen by a
prospective boss. She’ll also share the secret way job
seekers can leapfrog the HR department to network their
way to career success directly with their hiring
manager or C-suite executive. Diane’s book, “Brand You!
To Re-Invent Your Career,” will be released this
summer. Reach her at (210) 601-7852 or

15. ==> Create Your Own Midlife Job Security
What happens when you’re too young to retire, but too
old to hire? A sudden job loss could throw your current
lifestyle a curve unless you’re prepared. Hovey Smith
says the only job security that anyone holds is what
they can control. The author of “Create Your Own Job
Security by Starting Your Own Business at Midlife,” can
discuss how to examine short, medium and long-term
business opportunities that you can have ready to
launch when you need it most. From E-Bay sales to new
products, providing services and even the arts, Smith
says just about anything you can imagine can be turned
into a moneymaking opportunity and it’s a myth that a
person can do only one business in his lifetime. Hovey
Smith is the author of 15 books and has produced
hundreds of YouTube videos. With multiple academic
degrees, he has spoken at business forums in China and
Austria. Contact him at (478) 552-7455;

16. ==> Allergy Relief for Under 10 Bucks
The trees are budding, the flowers are blooming and the
birds are singing. While it’s beautiful to behold, this
time of year can be agony for people with seasonal
allergies. Many sufferers spend a small fortune in

effective, inexpensive and readily available in most
health food stores for less than $10.00. Invite her on
your show to share proven allergy relief your

physician has helped thousands of “basket cases” for
whom conventional treatments have failed, with her
groundbreaking FDA-approved treatment. But you don’t
have to be in chronic pain to appreciate what Dr. Lee
will say about the horrible way pain patients are
treated in America, leading to a completely unnecessary
deadly opioid crisis. She’ll say that pain originates
from nerve injuries—not in the muscles or bones where
most treatments focus and often surgeries and
injections are useless. Ask her how her treatment works
and why no one else is using it. Anna Lee trained at
Hahnemann and the University of Pennsylvania. Reach her
