2. ==> Trump’s Court Pick Will Affect America for the Better
Though it’s always a momentous occasion when there’s a
vacancy on the Supreme Court, since it happens so
infrequently, Christopher Reid says the country may not
change as drastically as some Democrats believe. “The
Supreme Court will take a more conservative,
originalist turn, but this will not be a departure from
the Court’s direction of the past few years.” Reid
says, “Liberals worry that a conservative, originalist
appointee would shake up the Court, but that would mean
that the new justice would be a judicial activist. This
is contrary to the tenets of originalism.” He adds,
“This should not be a cause for concern for Democrats
who believe the Constitution is a set of rules that are
changed by the people and not the courts. Sticking to
the Constitution is not a bad thing.” Christopher Reid,
an attorney, has worked for the Alabama Policy
Institute and the Heritage Foundation, and House
Republican Whip Roy Blunt. He provides political
commentary for Fox, NBC, and Newsmax. Contact him at

3. ==> Good News: Rescued Thai Teens May Thrive
While psychologists debate the long-term effects on the
teens rescued from a Thai cave, Frank Farley, Ph.D.
says once the boys are out and safe, they may not be as
‘scarred’ as many fear given their age and the fact
that they were trapped together as a team. “Death
anxiety is probably very low or even non-existent.
Perhaps we may see post-traumatic growth, not PTSD,
where these boys will be strengthened by this
experience, so that future risks or challenges will be
more readily dealt with psychologically and overcome,
invoking the old adage ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you
stronger.’ If they could handle this experience they
can handle anything! We focus too much on PTSD in these
unusual situations, and not enough on the positive
psychology that can come from them.” Farley is a
professor at Temple University and a former president
of the American Psychological Association. Contact him

4. ==> Saturday is International Nude Day
A free cruise is hard to turn down. Just ask Carla
Feagan, a self-described former extreme introvert, who
accepted a ticket for a cruise that turned out to be
more revealing than she expected. Feagan found herself
sharing a ship with 2,000 naked people and elected to
go with the flow. And, she says, if she had it to do
all over again, she would! In time for International
Nude Day, this “accidental nudist” can talk about what
really happens on a naked ten-day cruise, a topic sure
to launch dozens of questions. Ask her: Did the captain
and crew wear clothes? What was the one event that
required clothing? What surprising things did she learn
about nudists? Carla Feagan’s memoir, “A Life Worth
Living,” discusses her cruise ship experience but also
her struggles to overcome childhood abuse, depression
and anxiety. With only a limited education, Carla rose
to acting CFO of an airline and a hospital, owned two
businesses, and managed Microsoft partner channels
internationally. In 2015, she quit her 9-to-5 job to
experience her own year-long Eat, Pray, Love journey to
21 countries. Contact her at (707) 969-7972;

5. ==> This Man Helps You Sleep with Celebrities
If you could sleep with any celebrity whom would you
choose? Scarlett Johansson? Gal Gadot? Chris Hemsworth?
Ryan Reynolds? Steve Long wants to know. After all,
part of his job is helping people to “sleep” with
celebrities. Steve is the CEO of Phamous Pholks
Furniture Art Pillows, a company that produces full-
sized, extremely life-like patented pillows of public
figures and ordinary people. To raise money for
charity, he’s produced pillows for Shania Twain, the
Dixie Chicks, Robert Redford and Metallica. Steve is
interested in hearing from your audience about which
celebrities are their favorites for future pillow
products. Steve can also talk about: How did he get
involved in such a unique business? Why are pillows so
much fun? What are some fascinating facts about
pillows? How can you get a pillow with your
girlfriend’s image on it or your own? Can pillows help
end loneliness? What are some of the most fun things
people have done with his custom pillows? Reach him at

6. ==> Are Politicians Ruining Accountability for the Rest of Us?
Business consultant Bonnie Sussman-Versace first began
noticing the decline in accountability in the workplace
shortly after corporations started laying off thousands
of workers to boost profits for shareholders. By the
time Bill Clinton took office, many of those workers
were trying to explain to their kids why it was
acceptable for the leader of the free world to have
affairs and lie about them and still get elected. Bring
Bonnie on your show to discuss the disappearance of
accountability—the idea that the buck stops here—and
why it is the #1 problem in business today. She’ll say
that many employees believe their company’s problems
stem from poor communication when the real culprit is
that people are losing trust in each other because
their actions do not match their words. She’ll also
talk about the role our education system plays with its
‘everybody gets a trophy’ mentality. Bonnie is the
author of “Recipes for Thoughtful Leadership and
Healthy Culture.” She is the author of numerous
articles for Business Weekly, the Reading Eagle, and
Lehigh Business Journal. Contact her at (610) 301-2194

7. ==> The Growing Assault on Private Property
Tom DeWeese says the government—at every level—is
trying to reorganize U.S. society through the
destruction of private property. Invite this expert on
private property rights to explain how free enterprise,
private property ownership and individual liberty is
under attack by a political force that, while out in
the open for all to see, is little understood and
mostly ignored. He says, private, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), city planners and federal
agencies have teamed up specifically to change society
under the banner of sustainable development. “This
movement is gaining power in every state, county, and
community under the false threat of Environmental
Armageddon, demanding that we completely reorganize our
economic system, our representative form of government,
and our individual lifestyle,” DeWeese says. Tom
DeWeese is president of the American Policy Center, a
grassroots action and education foundation promoting
free enterprise and limited government regulations over
commerce and individuals. His latest book is
“Sustainable! The WAR on Free Enterprise, Private
Property and Individuals.” Contact him at (540)

8. ==> Police Shootings, Immigration Crisis: You Need to be ‘Switched On’
Special government agent Eric Caron’s twenty-five-year
career with Homeland Security, Interpol and the
Department of Treasury has given him an insider’s
perspective on the current conversation surrounding our
growing crisis at the border and the rising tensions
over the shooting of unarmed black men. Rather than
take the easy road of toeing the party line and obeying
political correctness protocols, Agent Caron truly
pulls back the curtain and gives listeners the flipside
of the story—the perspective of a longtime law
enforcement agent and humanitarian. Above all, the
agent and author reminds us all that we must remain
Switched On if we are to successfully navigate these
uncertain times and truly understand the nuanced issues
constantly bombarding us in the media. Special Agent
Eric Caron (retired) specialized for twenty-five years
in the fields of terrorism, money laundering and
transnational crime. He’s currently an adjunct
professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, a
terrorism expert for WHDH News 7 in Boston, and the
author of “Switched On.” Contact Eric Caron at (508)

9. ==> Former Miss America Contestant Says New Pageant is ‘The Death of Excellence’
Former ugly duckling Jane Jenkins Herlong grew up to be
such a lovely swan that she became a Miss America
contestant. And she is not happy with the new version
of the competition, including the elimination of the
swimsuit contest. “Being physically fit is one of the
standards of excellence,” Jane says. “Day by day, our
country is becoming more inclusive to the point of the
danger of complacency. The Miss America Pageant is the
latest target.” Jane can share her fascinating pageant
experiences, and reveal why she thinks that feminists
have it all wrong when it comes to overhauling this 97-
year-old institution. She is the best-selling author of
four books including her latest “Rhinestones on My
Flip-Flops.” She also is a sought-after speaker who was
inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, a gifted singer

20. ==> “My Grandfather Was the Most Interesting Man in the World”
Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a White Russian prince in 1890, he married
a Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan, working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel beyond its
former glory. In 1931, at the age of 53, Serge joined
the Commandos under “Wild Bill” Donovan and completed
two successful missions parachuting into Nazi-occupied
Europe. Ivan Obolensky, Serge’s grandson, has fond
memories of meeting his legendary grandfather for lunch
