=======================================
1. ==> Today is 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11th
moon landing! Invite NASA expert and space historian
Rod Pyle to share an exciting behind-the-scenes look at
America’s journey to the Moon—from the space race to
the landing on the Sea of Tranquility to splashdown on
Earth and the aftermath. Vice President Mike Pence
recently promised the National Space Council that
Americans will return to the moon by 2024. Pyle can
also discuss the likelihood of that and share a glimpse
at the next few decades of spaceflight and NASA’s long-
term plans for exploration, utilization, and
settlement. Rod Pyle worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory and the Johnson Space Center and has
produced numerous documentaries for the History Channel
and Discovery Communications, including the acclaimed
Modern Marvels: Apollo 11. He’s the author of more than
a dozen books including “First on the Moon: The Apollo
11 50th Anniversary Experience,” the incredible story
of the first men on the Moon. Contact him at (626)

2. ==> It’s Getting Creepy: Why We Need a Federal
Privacy Law
It’s happened to all of us—getting unsolicited calls
for credit cards right after we’ve gotten a new job, or
suddenly being targeted with ads for baby products
before you’ve even told anyone you’re pregnant. Michael
Beckerman says it feels intrusive, and it is. “Those
ads, which have your real name, address, and phone
number, aren’t a coincidence. Data brokers that
consumers have no relationship with create custom
profiles of individuals and sell them to anybody
willing to pay for it. Most Americans are largely
unaware – and would be very troubled to know – that
these massive companies are assembling profiles of them
from thousands of different sources and selling it to
advertisers.” Beckerman, president and CEO of the
Internet Association, can explain what commercial data
brokers do, the surprising information they collect,
and why he believes we need a comprehensive federal
privacy law that protects consumers, provides
meaningful transparency, and gives consumers control
over how their data is collected, used, and shared.

3. ==> How Do We Depolarize America?
What causes polarization and how can we reduce it if
not outright eliminate it? Rachel Williams-Smith,
Ph.D., Ed.D., has a unique vantage point on the fear
that leads people to view others as less-human and what
we can do about it. Dr. Rachel grew up as a child of
extremist parents who thought the world was about to
end, so they moved to a remote homestead where they had
little contact with outsiders and lived with no modern
conveniences. Dr. Rachel grew up fearing the larger
world. When she was 16 and her father abandoned the
family, she found herself living in a world she had
been taught to shun. Her fascinating story and the
insights she can share about learning to appreciate
other people who don’t think as you do could not be
timelier. Dr. Rachel is the author of “Born Yesterday:
The True Story of a Girl Born in the 20th Century but
Raised in the 19th.” Now the dean of the School of
Journalism and Communication at Southern Adventist
University, Dr. Rachel is an experienced media guest
who speaks about the effects of extreme religion. Reach
her at (256) 665-6257; rachel@rachelwilliamssmith.com
4. ==> How Foreigners Shut Talented U.S. Students out
of Jobs
Did you know that in 2017 alone, 275,000 foreign-born
students got jobs that could have gone to American
college students? Or that less than 50 percent of U.S.
citizen STEM graduates actually land a job in STEM?
Most parents and students have no idea about the
discrimination against hiring American nor do American
taxpayers who are losing some $2 billion in
contributions to Medicare and social security as a
result. Let Hilarie Gamm—a nationally recognized leader
in the technology industry—enlighten your audience
about two current bills: One that ends diversity and
favors Big Tech and another that seeks to end the
loophole that is eliminating Americans as job
candidates. She’ll bust the myth that there is a
shortage of homegrown highly skilled, educated and
qualified workers and share why every citizen who cares
about the future of the middle class should be paying
attention to this legislation and taking action.
Hilarie is one of three founders of the nonpartisan
American Workers Coalition, championing H.R. 3564
Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act sponsored by AZ
GOP Congressman Paul Gosar. A veteran talk show guest,
she is the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech
Crisis and The Road Map to Change.” Contact her at
(203) 571-3819; hgamm@rtirguests.com
5. ==> National Security Expert on CIA Black Sites
The former director of the CIA’s Counterterrorist
Center and the FBI’s National Security Branch, Philip
Mudd is no stranger to covert ops, enhanced
interrogation techniques, and extraordinary renditions.
Yet in his honesty and forthrightness about our
intelligence shortcomings in the War on Terror, he has
sometimes invited the criticism of some high ranking
figures. Invite Mudd to share his sober, balanced
assessment of “The Program,” the post-9/11 strategy
developed by the CIA to hold captured prisoners,
extract information, and prevent another catastrophic
attack. You’ll hear about the planning, operating, and
disassembling of the notorious “black sites”—which were
the secret CIA-run prisons used to interrogate captives
from battlefields around the world. Questions about
these “black sites,” which were based in foreign
countries for legal reasons, have been circulating for
years. You’ll learn: how were prisoners transported
there? What did these secret prisons look like? How
were the detainees “broken”—and what happened after?
Philip Mudd’s upcoming book is “Black Site: The CIA in
the Post 9/11 World.” Mudd is available July 29-August

6. ==> The Growing Attack on America’s Beef Industry
Most Americans are unaware of the ongoing assault on
the American beef industry—and their personal dietary
choices—led by such entities as the World Wildlife
Fund, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the United
Nations Environment Program. So says Tom DeWeese,
president of the American Policy Center, a grassroots
action and education foundation dedicated to the
promotion of free enterprise and limited government
regulations over commerce and individuals. DeWeese says
that while their stated goal is to produce a better
grade of beef, their true intention is to ban beef
altogether. Surprisingly, he adds, the National
Cattlemen’s Beef Association is allowing this to
happen. “The reality is it’s not going to go away
because the goal is not environmental protection,
rather the destruction of their industry and control
through what the U.N. calls the reorganization of human
society.” Tom DeWeese is a speaker and property rights
advocate who has debated at Cambridge University. He is
the author of many books including, “Sustainable: The
WAR on Free Enterprise, Private Property and
Individuals.” DeWeese has been featured by Fox News,
the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the
Washington Post and other media nationwide. Contact him

7. ==> No More Senior Moments? Revolutionary Way to
Reverse Memory Loss
If you’re worried your short-term memory loss—those
moments when you just can’t remember a word, a name or
where you parked the car—are just the start of a
downhill slide, you’ll want to hear some encouraging
news from Julie Renee Doering. The brain rejuvenation
expert says memory loss can easily be reversed, even in
early stage dementia. She’ll discuss a ground-breaking
approach to cell regrowth and share the remarkable
results of a recent brain study that show the quantum
energy approach can dramatically improve not only
memory, but also mental outlook and sleep. It also
shows promise in reducing headaches and helping people
with speech difficulties. The brain rejuvenation work
Julie Renee is doing is just the tip of the iceberg in
her revolutionary Quantum Activation Academy. Doering,
who will soon be seen regularly on the long-running PBS
series Creative Living, embarked on her search for
answers after suffering several brain injuries, major
accidents and chronic illnesses in her earlier life.
The author of 12 books including “The Divine Human
Blueprint,” she currently offers more than 150
trainings and 180 transformative meditations. Contact
her at (415) 385 6394 or in8@JulieRenee.com
8. ==> Good Summer Medicine: Go Barefoot
Can you remember the last time you: Ran barefoot
through a field? Slipped off your sandals and got sand
between your toes? Dipped your toes in some warm, soft
mud? This activity is known as “earthing” and, believe
it or not, it has powerful health benefits, says
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP. “Earthing works by
connecting you to the healing energies of the ground,
thereby neutralizing free radicals and reducing chronic
inflammation in the body,” she explains. “It sounds a
bit farfetched, but it works.” Invite Dr. Nathalie on
your show and learn how something as simple as kicking
off your shoes can lead to improved sleep, reduced
inflammation and chronic pain, reduced stress, improved
energy and a greater feeling of well-being. You may
also be surprised to learn that spending some time in
the sun and mindfully barbecuing this summer are
actually fun ways to add to your well-being. Dr.
Nathalie is an Ottawa-based doctor of chiropractic and
certified functional medicine practitioner with the
Institute of Functional Medicine. The founder of the
“What The Hack?! Podcast,” Dr. Nathalie has appeared on
numerous radio and TV shows and has her own YouTube
channel. Her latest book is “Hack Your Health Habits:
Simple Action-Driven, Natural Health Solutions for
People On the Go!” Contact her at (613) 852-1770;

9. ==> How to Have Sustainable Summer Fun
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 environment. If we can all
change small habits to be more environmentally
friendly, this can have a positive impact on the entire
plant.” Yasmin can discuss how our small, seemingly
harmless habits can have devastating impact on the
entire 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 “Our Peaceful
Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a
Sustainable Future.” Contact Yasmin at
YDavar@rtirguests.com
10. ==> Quiz: Are You Really Living in the Moment?
We hear the phrase ‘live in the moment’ all the time,
but what does that actually mean? Personal growth
expert and author Joffre McClung says “Living in the
moment is about being present in your life. It is
about moving through the world consciously and with
purpose. It is about being aware of your behavior and
its impact on those around you.” Joffre says a lot of
us think we’re living in the moment but we’re actually
sleepwalking through life not realizing what we’re
missing! Do you get upset or angry when your routine or
schedule is suddenly changed? Do you know anything
about the clerk who serves you coffee every morning?
Are you always multi-tasking? Joffre will share
questions to ask yourself to determine which areas of
your life you need to wake-up. She’ll also provide
easy, everyday ways to instantly become more present
and reap the rewards of living in the moment which
include feeling happier, less stressed, more focused
and healthier. A former media producer and independent
filmmaker, Joffre has appeared on numerous radio and TV
programs. Her latest book is “The Heart of the Matter.”

11. ==> We All Know a Stressed Mess! This MD has 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
share how to get off of the vicious stress cycle, for
good. Dr. Steven has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of

Your Soul Desires.” Contact him at
shall@rtirguests.com; (425) 531-3684.
12. ==> Why Your Kids Bad Behavior is Caused by Your
Anxiety
Your kids are acting like feral cats. They won’t
listen. They fight and raise your blood pressure. It’s
not their fault. It’s your body’s chemical reaction to
stress that is adding to their bad behavior, and it’s
also why you may be experiencing real pain. Noted spine
surgeon Dr. David Hanscom will explain the connection
between anxiety and surges of body chemicals, and
reveal how you can train your body to control these
surges– even when the stress comes from your kids.
Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will share research-based
evidence and information about the direct connection
between stress, the body’s chemistry and physical pain.
He’ll also discuss how Western medicine’s answer to
stress has led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring for adults and kids alike. An
in-demand speaker and talk-show guest, including The
Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, Hanscom will change the way
you react to stressful situations – getting your
audience back on track to really enjoy parenting.
Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206) 890-1892.
13. ==> Compulsive Habits – What’s Yours?
Whether you like it or not, everyone has an addiction
or compulsive habit that controls their behavior and
their choices. One out of three persons is overtly
addicted to something – like alcohol or drugs. But did
you know that virtually two out of three persons is
covertly addicted to something – and they may not even
realize it? Subtle behaviors like gossiping, judging
others, people pleasing, shopping and working can all
be compulsive. Interview Michael McGee, M.D., about
the science of habit and his “Good now, Bad later”
philosophy to help your audience figure out if they
have compulsive habits and what to do about them! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools. He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The
New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact
him at (978) 971-9703; MMcGee@rtirguests.com
14. ==> Debunking the Myth of Men’s Work
For years it’s been an unspoken rule that operating
heavy equipment is a man’s job, but Kathy Tuccaro says
women actually do a better job! “They are smoother,
they don’t operate like they stole it, and they do a
better job of housekeeping and maintaining the
equipment. Women also have better focus and ability to
multitask,” says Tuccaro. Invite her on your show to
explain why mining is men’s best kept secret and reveal
the three reasons they don’t want women to know about
it. Tuccaro was a nurse for many years and then became
homeless. She calls her current career driving the
largest truck in the world—a 2 1/2 story, 400-ton
Caterpillar—empowering, and she encourages other women
to give male-dominated careers like mining and trucking
a try, regardless of age or situation. Kathy Tuccaro is
the author of “Dream Big!” Contact her at (780)

15. ==> Don’t Get Bored this Summer – Get a Crazy Hobby
Do you have a crazy hobby? How about Toy Voyaging? Soap
Carving? Mooing? Train Surfing? Extreme Ironing? From

are passionate about that help them make friends, keep
active, and stay stress-free. Interview Jennifer
Cochern, LCPC to hear all about why everyone should
have a hobby of some kind… crazy or not! “It’s time
people took control of their time, learn how to
entertain themselves and become lifelong learners.
Hobbies help you do all that and more!” She’ll talk
about why summer is a great time to find a new hobby
and how that can help you… both physically and
emotionally. People who have hobbies are often
healthier and happier than those who don’t – find out
why! Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a counselor and the

16. ==> Why Domestic Violence Hurts Everyone
According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “Domestic violence doesn’t just affect the
victims; it tears at the very fabric of entire
communities.” Lindsley will explain how it can impact a
company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, can
cause long-term health problems in victims, can spill
over to schools and workplaces, and involve innumerable
police man hours. He says a multi-pronged approach is
needed to tackle this madness head on and 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

17. ==> Surviving Stage Four Cancer Like Alex Trebek
Beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek recently said his
stage four pancreatic cancer is in “near remission,”
according to his doctors. He told 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
Anthony to discuss what he believes saved his wife’s
life, what he discovered through his own research and
how it helped her sail through chemo to become
healthier and happier than ever. Anthony shares his
poignant experiences in his book “The True Story of a
Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
Within.” Contact him at ARandle@rtirguests.com or (702)

18. ==> Do a Show on How Love Conquers All
Why not do a show on the incredible true story of a son
who, after 20 years, learns that his estranged birth
mother is actually alive and living on the streets of
Philadelphia. He does everything in his power to find
her, rescue her, and love her…. even after she spits in
his face and refuses to leave the streets. He
sacrifices everything for love! Marty will share how
his love for his birth mom was tested time and time
again, but eventually prevailed – overcoming her
rejection and fear. This wonderful human-interest story
is really a tale of both mothers… including the one who
took him in, raised him, hid the truth from him – but
eventually gave him the information and the courage he
needed to go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas,
MFA, is a media owner, author, and a sought-after
International speaker. He’s spoken to millions and has
been featured on more than 100 radio and TV shows
including ABC and NBC Philadelphia and Fox News
Washington, DC. Contact him at (631) 246-0790;

20. ==> Don’t Leave it to Chance: Planned Kindness
You’ve heard of random acts of kindness. They are
certainly lovely, but why should kindness be random?
Could it actually be scheduled? That’s why Lyle
Benjamin created Planned Acts of Kindness, a global
social responsibility program in which each morning
people around the world receive cell phone and computer
notifications of a planned act of kindness they can do
with their family, friends, co-workers and in their
community. Benjamin’s goal is to have tens of millions
of people in the United States and hundreds of millions
of people around the world doing the same planned act
of kindness on the same day unleashing positive,
powerful energy into the world. “The problems of the
world — climate change, pollution, overpopulation,
pandemics, war and terrorism — are not going to be
solved by governments, corporations or religions alone,
but by ordinary people working on common causes with a
common purpose,” Benjamin adds. “The tipping points are
not 20 to 30 years in the future; they are now and if
we don’t get these problems under control the world
will be a very different place for billions of people.”
Invite Benjamin to talk about his Planned Acts of
Kindness program and how your listeners can
participate. Contact Lyle Benjamin at (212) 213-0257;
