2. ==> But What about Biden?
Conservative commentator Deroy Murdock argues that Donald Trump is not the ‘bad guy’ in the swirling scandal over his dealings with Ukraine. Instead, he says, Joe Biden’s actions involving his son “reek of extortion and obstruction of justice.” Murdock argues that in 2016 Biden threatened to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine unless a prosecutor investigating a company affiliated with his son was fired and that he later bragged publicly about it. Murdock also has doubts about the whistleblower involved, calling the person “mysterious” and the claims “hearsay.” New York commentator Deroy Murdock is a nationally-syndicated columnist, a Manhattan-based Fox News Contributor, a contributing editor with National Review Online, and a senior fellow with the London Center for Policy Research.

3. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business… and in Life?
What does it really mean to be ethical in business and in life? Today people are living in a grey area… an area that blurs the lines between right and wrong, ethical and unethical. Would you know fraud if you saw it? At work or in yourself? Interview John Smith – an ordinary guy who unwittingly got caught up in the 1980’s S&L crisis and found out the hard way that you don’t have to commit a crime to be convicted of one. “Most people are unaware of what fraud actually is so it’s overlooked and people remain unaware of illegal activity around them. We all need to know exactly what fraud is, how it happens, why it happens and how to avoid it!” says John. John Smith is an author and a professional speaker who shares his gripping story and the consequences of ethical and unethical behavior. His book “Embracing the Abyss” chronicles his true story of unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and receiving a presidential pardon. Contact him at (214) 216-2199; JSmith@rtirguests.com

What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his grandfather, Serge Obolensky – the famed “Prince of New York”, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame) who died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest. Convinced that people lived on after death, she proved it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large number of black cats that kept returning to her home on 61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried. The family home was eventually exorcised. Ivan’s grandfather, Serge, had ghost stories of his own to tell including one of a Captain recovering from TB in the Crimea who appeared to Serge’s mother and butler at the family’s country home many miles away and vanished before their eyes. They later learned he had died and that the visitor was his ghost. Ivan Obolensky is the author” Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818) 495-8731; IObolensky@rtirguests.com
5. ==> The True Story of a Daughter’s Possession and Exorcism
William Dorian discovered demonic possession is very real when his 15-year old daughter tried to communicate with the dead using a Ouija board. What began as an innocent game eventually led to multiple evil entities taking hold of the teen and tormenting the entire family. Invite Dorian, author of “The Holy Water Incident,” to share the extreme measures his family took in the spiritual battle to save their daughter and hear about the overwhelming trauma on the family’s quiet life, how local religious authorities gave them a cold shoulder and doctors’ only solution was confinement in a psychiatric unit. William Dorian has worked as a teacher, social worker, journalist, and theater director. Contact Kat Sanborn at (651) 312-8452; KatS@Llewellyn.com
6. ==> How the Burning Rainforest is Killing the Entire Planet
As the world watches in horror as Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest burns at an unprecedented rate, it’s a lot graver than most people realize. “The Amazon is the planet’s lungs, producing 20 percent of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere,” says environmental engineer and author Yasmin Davar. “The fires have immediate impacts on the destruction of habitat for animals, indigenous people’s homes and the amount of greenhouse gases produced, which contributes to a global temperature rise. This in turn leads to extreme weather events like droughts. Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, whose policies have led to this disaster, is operating under the outdated beliefs that the earth is separate to us and exists for us to destroy as we please, and that the only way to thrive economically is to exploit the environment.” Yasmin holds a Master of International Studies 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
7. ==> Why Next Year Could be the NFL’s Most Dangerous
The National Football League has been celebrating its 100-year run by looking back at its heyday. According to Nita Wiggins, who covered the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas for a decade, the NFL’s future glory is anything but assured. “We are facing a year of reckoning,” says Wiggins, who interviewed Hall of Fame players up-close and personal in their homes and who understands why up-and-coming stars are retiring–stars such as Andrew Luck. And, while players wrestle for control over their social media imaging and activism, the current labor contract is approaching its end after the 2020 season. Wiggins is a former boxing coach and judge and television reporter who now teaches journalism in Paris, France. She is the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Why Do Our Best Students Feel Dumb?
Students feel DUMB when they cram for a test on Thursday, get an A on Friday and forget it all by Monday. Students feel SMART when they remember and even smarter when they use new, remembered knowledge to solve problems in unique ways. SMART schools have processes in place that make the “Cram Plan” impossible. “Who has the most control over education? The answer might surprise you… but almost everyone I talk to agrees with my answer!” says Lee Jenkins, educator, administrator and author.

13. ==> Former Prof. Shares Shocking Truths about College
During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college professor, he learned some profound truths. To his astonishment, he discovered that many students had no idea what they would do with their degrees or how they would pay off their student debt. They were going to school merely because people told them they needed to and because universities are highly skilled at marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to ensure that parents have important conversations with their children, well before the first college tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way universities use tuition money to preserve their business interests to the detriment of students. He can answer such questions as what should be taught in every class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former college professor, a documentarian and the author of two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.” Contact Glen at (702) 703-2219; GDunzweiler@rtirguests.com
14. ==> How Medical Bullying Could Affect Your Health Care
Medical professionals are supposed to save lives not ruin them. But according to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced Bear-rich), a 30-year-career physician assistant, medicine has a dirty little secret: bullying is commonplace and counterproductive to patient safety. Nurses bully other nurses, physician assistants, and medical residents are bullied by their attending physicians, and people in the profession are strongly advised to put up with physical assaults, verbal abuse, intimidation and more. Whistleblowing gets people fired. Sharon, who plans a TEDx talk on the subject, can share some of the incidents of bullying that have happened to her. She can also discuss ways the medical culture is slowly changing for the better and five things that can be done to accelerate that process. Sharon is a physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor College of Medicine. She has a master’s in public health from the University of Texas School of Public Health.

15. ==> 6 Steps to Turn an Unhappy Childhood into a Happy One
When you talk to people, it becomes apparent that many folks grew up in dysfunctional families. In fact, you may wonder whether people who say they had a happy childhood are actually telling the truth to you—and themselves. Anne Andrew, Ph.D., an author, former school principal, and parenting coach, says that all of us have suffered family traumas while growing up that have affected us more than we may realize.

16. ==> 5 Tips for Busy Moms to Go from Exhausted to Exhilarated
The balancing act of being a working mother and wife can be overwhelming. Most women are just in survival mode trying to put everyone before themselves. As a result, they let go of their unfulfilled dreams and give up. “Taking care of yourself first is not selfish,” declares multi-published children’s author, immigrant, and mother of three Rosie J. Pova, who struggled with trying to balance being a mom, wife, and dreamer. Invite her to share the lessons she learned along the way to help other women stop sacrificing and start caring for themselves as well as the rest of the family.

Subtle behaviors like gossiping, judging others, people pleasing, shopping and working can all be compulsive. Interview Dr. McGee about the science of habit and his “Good now, Bad later” philosophy to help your audience figure out their own compulsive habits and what to do about them!

18. ==> Why Donald Trump’s Third Marriage Will End, Bigly!
Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two disgraceful divorces. Pastor and marriage counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s marriage to Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage is not going to end well; his wife will most likely leave him,” he says. “He doesn’t have the vaguest concept of marriage. He doesn’t treat women with love and respect, or value them for who they are.” Rev. George has been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years and has counseled 500 troubled couples, with an 85 percent success rate. He is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada with 34 years of experience in Christian ministries as a pastor, Christian counselor and life coach.

19. ==> Here’s a Scientific Formula for a Success in Life
While science and religion have long been considered mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just become a first-time author of a well-received book that reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum physics has proven the existence of a power or force beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within.” Contact him at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.
20. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Abortion Debate
As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current changes to abortion laws, best-selling author Jane Jenkins Herlong points out that one faction of society is being completely over-looked: elderly people. “When it comes to sanctity of life, we really need to focus on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme abortion laws from New York to Alabama are vastly different. This also affects the elderly, who are not part of the current discussion.” Jane can discuss what she learned from caring for her own elderly mom, and why we need to take greater measures to protect the elderly to ensure that they live the remainder of their lives in safety, comfort and dignity. She is a former Miss America contestant and the award-winning author of four books including Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops. In addition, she has recorded music CDs and personal growth and comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at JHerlong@rtirguests.com; (803) 599-2941.
