=======================================
1. ==> Immigration Attorney on Trump Policy
The Trump administration’s decision to separate
children from their families as a way to curb illegal
immigration is adding fuel to an already fiery debate
over immigration. Immigration attorney Rahul Manchan
can explain the new policy and why he believes it is
cruel, unjust and un-American. “Americans must not only
be guided by the ‘Rule of Law,’ but also by the
‘Concept of Equity,’ so they’re able to view problems
within American society through the lens of ultimate
justice, not only through the black letter of the
sometimes myopic and limiting edicts of the rule of
law.” Manchan is a New York attorney who specializes in
immigration law, civil rights, criminal defense and
family law. He’s appeared on major media television
program channels including Fox News, CNN and NBC.

2. ==> Separating Families and Calling It Christian Is
an American Tradition
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House press
secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited the Bible to
justify a Trump-approved immigration policy of ripping
children from their parents. Anthea Butler says in
doing so, Sessions invoked Romans 13, which is the
exact same argument that slaveholders and sympathetic
clerics used to justify slavery. “This reprehensible
moment in America is not an anomaly, but a continuation
of the intertwining of race, nation and slaveholding
Christianity. In this view of what America is and ought
to be, immigrants are not people, but chattel. And in
this view, immigrants are irresponsible and incapable
of caring for their children because they brought them
to America. This is not what Christianity looks like.
This is an Americanized, nationalistic Christianity
that promotes white families over and against brown
families, black families and other families that do not
conform and embrace their biblical worldview.” Anthea
Butler is associate professor of religion and Africana
studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been
a media commentator on religion politics and race on
the BBC, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC and served as a consultant
to the PBS series God in America. Contact her at

3. ==> Children Will Never Forget Being Separated
Like many people, Linda Blackmer is horrified by the
Trump administration’s policy of separating children
from their parents who fled their homeland for a better
life. And as a social worker and victim of childhood
trauma Linda can shed light on what it is like for the
children taken away from parents and placed in camps
where they do not have the love and security of their
families. “Loss of a parent to death, abandonment or
separation is one of the most heart-wrenching
experiences a child can endure,” Linda says. She will
also say that our government is teaching these children
that the world is an unsafe place and inflicting wounds
that will take a lifetime to heal. Meanwhile, their
parents sit in jail feeling guilt, worry, despair,
panic and their own trauma that will no doubt be passed
on to future generations. Linda Blackmer is a pen name
for the licensed social worker who wrote “My Father’s
Eyes: A Story of Stolen Lives.” Reach her at (505)

4. ==> Celebrate Wicked Tuna’s 100th Episode
National Geographic has reeled in a “monstah” – after
seven seasons – Wicked Tuna premieres its milestone
100th episode this Sunday. The series has celebrated
one of America’s oldest industries since first
premiering in 2012 and made stars of the intrepid
Gloucester commercial fishermen who brave the
unrelenting North Atlantic waters to catch the elusive
bluefin tuna. Invite Hard Merchandise Captain Dave
Marciano and Wicked Pissah Captain Paul Hebert to talk
about the show and this season’s surprises. They’ll
also give away tickets for the National Geographic
Wicked Tuna 100th Episode Celebration on June 24 at
Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA. Wicked Tuna airs Sunday
evenings on National Geographic. Contact Johanna Ramos-
Boyer at (703) 646-5137; johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin
Bolden at (703) 646-5188.
5. ==> Summer Shouldn’t Mean Going Hungry
For many American children, summer vacation means
sunshine, hot days and freedom from homework and early
bedtimes. But for millions of kids and their families,
it also brings fear. How are they going to eat during
those three months? Food activist and historian Julia
Hudson-Richards says tens of millions of children rely
on government assistance to eat lunch for nine months
of the year. And their need doesn’t go away when the
last bell rings in June. “Low-income parents often
struggle to feed their kids during the summer. Families
who rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
benefits don’t get extra money just because school is
out, and low-wage jobs don’t come with a summer bump in
the paycheck. Some may even decide it doesn’t make
sense to keep working ? especially if the cost of child
care for younger kids negates the income their job (or
jobs) brings in.” She’ll discuss issues that contribute
to the problem and ways to get kids and families the
food they need. Julia Hudson-Richards studies the
environment, food and the people who produce it and
teaches at Penn State University. Contact her at
jah71@psu.edu or (814) 949-5809
6. ==> Summer Solstice: Fun Facts and Trivia
June 21st, the summer solstice, is the longest day of
the year. It has been observed as an important time of
year for thousands of years by cultures worldwide.
Invite Cristina Smith on your show and discover the
history and some surprising facts and tips about the
summer solstice. She says, “Knowing the cycles of day
and night were important to our ancestors for survival.
Today we can take advantage of their wisdom by
maximizing the health and happiness benefits of
summer.” Cristina Smith is the founder of the Subtle
Energy Center and author of the “Yoga for the Brain”
series of books. Contact her at (619) 339-6901;

7. ==> Is Your Summer Fun Destroying the Planet?
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, backyard
barbecues, trips to the beach and other outdoor
activities. But did you know that the activities and
objects we use, purchase and enjoy in summer might
actually harm the planet? According to author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar: “Single use
straws, not properly disposing of trash, buying patio
furniture made from illegally logged wood and
purchasing more food than we consume can have a very
negative impact on the world’s environment. If we can
all change small habits to be more environmentally
friendly, this can have a positive impact on the entire
planet.” Yasmin can discuss how our small, seemingly
harmless habits can have a devastating impact on the
planet, and how we can change this. 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 the book “Our Peaceful
Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a
Sustainable Future.” Contact her at
yasmin@yasmindavar.com.
8. ==> School’s Out, But Mom’s Stress Is In
School is out and the living is definitely not easy.
Parents—particularly moms—will be living in their cars
as they endlessly chauffeur their kids to and from
summer activities. In fact, says Suzette Webb, it’s
like adding a part-time job to an already frazzled
existence that includes spending more time scheduling
kids’ time, feeding them and breaking up their fights.
Invite Suzette on your show to offer suggestions for
ways moms can “up their game” in the summer to find
more time for themselves. Pointing out that self-care
is not selfish, Suzette will share the importance of
moms scheduling their own playdates, taking timeouts,
starting the day with a mom-friendly warm-up routine,
and celebrating the wins that come with being a less
stressed parent. Suzette holds an MBA from the Kellogg
Graduate School of Northwestern University. She is a
mother, entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and the author
of “Blues to Blessings.” Reach her at (708) 261-3303;
suzette@bluestoblessings.com
9. ==> What Single Moms Never Tell You
What’s it really like being a single mom? Or a single
parent for that matter? The single parenting trend is
growing – at last count there were 13.6 million single
parents in America doing their best to raise over 21
million children. Is it as bad as it seems? Did you
know that more and more parents are choosing NOT to
remarry but to raise their kids on their own? Or that
kids raised in single parent homes often turn out
better than those in traditional families? Sara
Sherman, BA, MS, speaker, author, blogger, coach and
creator of the Kick Ass Single Mom Life movement can
answer all these questions and many more! She can
speak to almost any topic relating to single parenting.
She has lived it! As a single parent for most of her
adult life, Sara has successfully raised her children
and earned two degrees all while working full-time.

10. ==> Are You and Your Grad Suffering Transition Fog?
Everyone tells high school grads that college will be
the best four years of their lives! But Brenda Reynolds
thinks just maybe we should stop the lie. “Before they
get to the ‘happiest’ years of their lives, there’s a
heck of a lot of change to navigate first. Endings, new
beginnings, lots of uncertainty. Everything as they
know it is about to change–schedules, friends, living
space, geography. And parents have their own transition
to make.” Invite Reynolds to discuss strategies for
navigating this time of transition fog and the emotions
that come with it. She says, “It’s the beginning of
learning an invaluable skill of dealing with complexity
and change AND it’s a skill that students and parents
can bring to the workplace and their life space again
and again.” Brenda Reynolds is an organization and
leadership consultant, coach, speaker and author. She’s
been featured in Bloomberg News, Business News Daily
and on Starcom Radio Network. Her book is “TBD: To be
Determined: Leading with Clarity and Confidence in
Uncertain Times.” Navigating Transition Fog is her TEDx
talk. Contact her at (610) 639-5722;

11. ==> Understanding Breast Cancer Treatment Options
New research in New England Journal of Medicine
indicates 2/3rd of women with the most common cause of
breast cancer can forgo chemotherapy. Invite Dr. Jim
Roach to help listeners understand the new findings.
Who should get chemotherapy and who shouldn’t? 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
12. ==> Will Your Brain Give Out Before You Do?
You work out, you watch what you eat and you’re feeling
pretty good, but if you’re in your 40s, you may be
harboring a silent brain-killing condition. “Starting
around age 45, people start to lose flexibility in
their chest, which reduces the amount of oxygen they
take in. Since the brain requires 10X more oxygen than
any other part of the body, the brain is the first to
suffer,” says sport scientist Bob Prichard. Even worse,
there are no symptoms. “A tight chest or stomach are
silent brain robbers. They’re like a cat burglar who
sneaks in and takes all your jewelry, or a hacker who
steals from your bank account. No signs or symptoms
until it’s too late.” Luckily, Prichard says the
condition can be reversed. Invite him to share an easy
at-home way to measure chest expansion, what the
numbers mean, and how to correct the problem. Bob
Prichard is president of the Somax Institute and author
of “Are You Robbing Your Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him
at (415) 435-9880 (CA); bprichard@somaxsports.com
13. ==> Why Does This Pain Doc Succeed Where Others
Fail?
Patients from all over the country visit Anna Lee,
M.D., to get relief from chronic pain that has plagued
them for years. This board-certified pain management
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
at 201) 925-0315; drlee1@optimum.net
14. ==> Capitalism Vs. Public Health: Cure Yourself?
In the world of Capitalism, curing the chronically ill
isn’t a profitable business model. After all, when
everyone is healthy, or at least the majority who are
curable, how will the company make a profit? Beverly
Jensen, Ph.D., says, “There is no silver bullet to
optimal health. Corporate interests have superseded
public health protection, and our conventional
healthcare system is part of the problem.” The SelfCare
Maven says, “There’s no drug to cure the causes of
chronic diseases. It’s largely up to the individual.”
Dr. Jensen can discuss the need for a national, public
discussion of the state of America’s health, how
individuals can recover, and how policies need to
change to improve the public’s health. Beverly, 70
years young, is a lifelong practitioner of the natural
healing arts. She is the author of the upcoming book
“The 21st Century Health Rx: Self-care.” Contact her at
SelfcareMaven@gmail.com or Skype docbeverly718.
15. ==> He’s Your Guest for Brain Awareness Month
June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time
when people will be wearing purple shirts with the
hashtag #EndAlz. As someone with a brain, you already
know the importance of keeping your memory sharp and
avoiding the most famous memory-robbing disease,
Alzheimer’s. But what you probably don’t know is that
the technique for putting the fork in Alzheimer’s
already exists only most of us do not know about it.
Invite Michael Morgan, LMT, CST-D, on your show to talk
about CranioSacral therapy, a revolutionary way of
treating Alzheimer’s and dementia that he is helping to
pioneer. When consistently applied, he says the gentle,
easily learned, affordable technique can significantly
roll back Alzheimer’s and dementia in a few weeks. He
can discuss his research, explain what craniosacral
therapy is (it’s also being used by NFL players and
children with autism) and ways it can increase
longevity. Morgan, who’s been researching Alzheimer’s
and dementia since 2008, was inspired to do so in part
after watching his stepmother and sister-in-law succumb
to the disease. He’s a well-known instructor of
CranioSacral Therapy and teaches the technique all over
the world. He’s also the author of “Preventing
Alzheimer’s in Just 10 Minutes a Day with the
BodyEnergy Prescription and CranioSacral Therapy.”

16. ==> The Marriage You Do Not Deserve
Every husband and wife can enjoy an amazing marriage,
but few figure out how. Most couples suffer the
definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and
over, expecting a different result. When you interview
author and marriage leadership expert Lance Bell, your
audience will learn about the history and purpose of
marriage from a Christian perspective, and how a
successful marriage starts first with one’s self. Lance
Bell is a successful business leader, public speaker
and author of the book “The Marriage You Do Not
Deserve.” Contact him at (630) 765-4137;
Lance.Bell@christleader.com.
17. ==> Turn Mental Health Issues into Superpowers
1 in 5 people struggle with mental health, that’s 43.8
Million Americans, most of them feeling completely
broken and alone. But mental health advocate Brett
Francis says it doesn’t have to be that way. She’ll
explain how to use mental health challenges and
disabilities to your advantage, how to open the door to
new and great opportunities by living through those
challenges, and ways to turn mental health challenges
into invisible “superpowers” rather than living in the
dark. Brett is a professional speaker, mental health
advocate and the host of NotBroken Radio. She was
diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome and severe ADHD as a
young child and at 17, she was also diagnosed with
anxiety, OCD and panic disorder. Contact her at
306-203-1504; brett@francisventures.ca
18. ==> This Scientist Can Prove God Exists
A recent article in Christianity Today states that
while most scientists are not anti-religion, contrary
to popular belief, the majority admittedly don’t
believe in God or a deity. But author David L. Peters
is the exception. An engineer by trade, who also
studied quantum physics and cosmology for several
years, David led a Roman Catholic diocesan movement for
many years, leads weekly spiritual groups and is very
active in his church. “From age 4, I was blessed with
the sense of God being ‘there’ throughout my life,”
says David, who is now 84. “Today, my faith comes
through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven, to me, the existence of a power or
force behind all.” David further believes that we can
all apply the principles of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics
Anonymous to achieving joy in our everyday lives, which
he explains in his book “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact him at davep434@gmail.com, or (607)
725-8559.
19. ==> The Copycat Celebrity Suicide Effect
The recent suicide deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony
Bourdain shocked the nation and calls and texts to
crisis hotlines spiked dramatically. Carla Feagan fears
an increase in copycat suicides like the rise in deaths
after Robin Williams suicide in 2014. Feagan says, “The
time is now for people to release their shame, become
vulnerable and speak openly and publicly about their
depression and suicide attempts. It is with this
sharing of these stories that will allow those who are
thinking about suicide to understand they are not alone
and they too can survive.” Feagan, the author of “A
Life Worth Living; The Journey of an Authentic Soul,”
has been plagued by depression, anxiety and suicide
attempts her entire life and is ready and willing to
speak about what saved her from committing suicide.

20. ==> This Summer Show Could Save Your Kid’s Life
According to government statistics more than 3-thousand
people die from unintentional drownings each year.
That’s 10 deaths a day. With summer upon us and trips
to the pool and the beach, it’s time to talk about
water safety and preventing summer tragedy. Carolanne
Caron says everyone should be able to enjoy the water,
but there are definitely safety issues that need to be
taught to everyone, especially kids. She says, “Many
children don’t know what rules they should follow when
they’re near water and end up getting in a situation
over their skill level.” Carolanne, a swimming and
water safety expert, can share 10 rules to teach
children to be safer around the water. She’s the author
of “Water Safety with Swimmy” and “Swimmy’s Water
Safety Coloring Book.” Contact her at (603) 424-4100;
