1.==> How Do Americans View Impeachment? Depends Where
You Live
Impeachment hearings will get underway in the coming
weeks in Washington. So what do Americans think? Janna
Fite Herbison says, “Most Americans who aren’t inside
the D.C. beltway or don’t work in New York media are no
longer keeping up with the details of impeachment.
Those who live Oklahoma, Arizona and Alabama are
basically focused now on their 2020 budget, New Year’s
resolutions, and football playoffs. Congressional
hearings from last fall are in their rear view
mirrors.” Herbison, a former television news reporter
and press secretary, says the way Americans view the
impeachment varies greatly based on culture, geography
and/or political leanings. She adds, “To conduct an
impeachment right before the holidays because it was
urgent – then let it acquire dust in Congress for a
month – was not the best strategy for Democrats or
Speaker Pelosi. Especially with the upcoming election.
It sent the wrong signal to everyday Americans: this
isn’t about the Constitution. It’s politics as usual.”

City: A Mason-Dixon View of Manhattan.” Contact her at

2. ==> Inside New US/China Trade Deal – Phase One
The United States signed a partial trade agreement with
China yesterday but experts say that doesn’t mean
simmering conflicts and uncertainty over trade won’t
drag down the global economy this year. Invite trade
expert Jennifer A. Hillman to discuss what to look for
in ‘phase one’ of the deal including the issues of
technology transfer, financial services and dispute
resolution. She’ll also discuss what we won’t see in
this agreement—any provisions addressing the key
structural problems with China— or addressing the
increasing levels of Communist Party control over the
Chinese economy. Jennifer A. Hillman is a senior fellow
for trade and international political economy at the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), specializing in
U.S. trade policy, the law and politics of the World
Trade Organization (WTO), international organizations,
and Brexit. Contact her at (202) 509-8574;

3. ==> The Problem with the War Powers Resolution
A revised version of a war powers resolution sponsored
by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would require President
Donald Trump to seek congressional authorization for
further military action against Iran has enough votes
to pass the Senate. But International law professor
Francis Boyle says the resolution is riddled with so
many holes that Trump/Pompeo et al. will drive a truck
through them. He says, “Part of the reason we have
these continuous wars is that Congress has failed to
live up to its responsibilities.” Boyle advised Sen.
Patrick Moynihan and Rep. Dan Crane in the first use of
the War Powers Resolution, after Reagan placed Marines
in Lebanon. He added: “Unfortunately, a ‘compromise’
was struck and predictably led to disaster with the
Marine barracks bombing.” Francis Boyle is professor of
international law at the University of Illinois College
of Law. Contact him at fboyle@illinois.edu

Invite renowned MIT computer scientist and Silicon
Valley video game designer Rizwan Virk on your show and
listeners will never look at the world the same again!
He’ll explore the idea that our physical reality is
part of an increasingly sophisticated video game-like
simulation and how we may actually be inside a
simulated reality like the Matrix. Virk can discuss
virtual reality and augmented reality and what’s coming
down the pipe, artificial intelligence and the
approaching singularity, and the intersection of
science and spirituality. Rizwan Virk’s latest book,
“The Simulation Hypothesis,” is based on research from
computer science, artificial intelligence, video games,
virtual reality, quantum physics, and eastern
mysticism. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703)

6. ==> Royal Family Drama, Just like Yours
The world is atwitter over Megxit, the royal ruckus
involving Prince Harry and Meghan. The couple made a
very public announcement, without the queen’s approval,
that they plan to split their time between Britain and
North America and step back from family duties. You
don’t need to be a prince or princess to understand the
situation, according to international communications
expert Leeza Steindorf. She says the couple simply
wants some space for their family. “Whatever their
blood lines are, or are not, whatever their cultural
histories, they are, in the end, simply a man and a
woman committed to their marriage, to championing good
causes and to raising a family in today’s crazy world.”
Having spent most of her life married to a European as
an American overseas, and the better part of two
decades straddling a professional and family life on
both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Steindorf says one
thing is clear. “This is not a conversation about
royalty and loyalty. It is a conversation about making
healthy relationships and families work in the globally
connected world of today.” An international
communications expert specializing in peace education
in schools, Steindorf won national acclaim in Europe
for the CORE Success program that she designed after a
school shooting in Germany. Contact her at (541) 550-

7. ==> Will You Lose Your Job to This Legal Loophole?
Suppose you came into work and were told that you were
being replaced by a foreigner making half your salary.
And, by the way, you’ll be training your replacement
before you go. This is currently happening to stellar
employees at AT&T, Disney, Verizon and Toys ‘R’ Us, who
were tossed out of their jobs thanks to a legal
loophole that lets companies import non-U.S. citizens
to do jobs that college-educated Americans have been
trained to do. Think it couldn’t happen to you?
American jobs advocate Hilarie Gamm will explain this
threat to your audience and why everyone from recent
graduates to experienced workers could be victims. A
veteran talk show guest and co-founder of the
nonpartisan American Workers Coalition, Gamm will bust
the myth that there’s a shortage of U.S. STEM workers
and talk about legislation that could close the current
loophole that unfairly benefits some tech companies and
nationalities. Gamm can also be joined by her AWC co-
founders, Marie Larson and Barbara Birch. Hilarie Gamm
is the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech
Crisis and The Road Map to Change.” Contact her at

Laboratory!
Many couples long to expand their families and welcome

miracle of giving birth. With today’s fertility
technologies, many couples can do both! Interview Nate

toddler, Phoebe, who started as a frozen embryo the
Birts adopted, had implanted, brought to term and

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

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
