1.==> The Psychological Toll of Impeachment Hearings
The Trump impeachment hearings will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on history and reverberate far from Capitol Hill. But what impact will the wall-to-wall coverage of the proceedings have on the psyche of Americans? Invite mental health expert Gregory Jantz, Ph.D., to discuss whether the hearings will have a negative effect on the collective mental state of Americans regardless of their political affiliations, why the country has become such a hostile and volatile place, and how we can return to civil discourse. Dr. Jantz is a world-recognized expert and innovator in the treatment of behavioral disorders and addictions. He started The Center – A Place of HOPE, a treatment and recovery center and is the author of 39 books. Dr. Jantz has appeared on CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, and has been interviewed for the New York Post, Associated Press, Family Circle, and Women’s Day.

2. ==> American Diplomats: Who Are They? What Do They Do?
Paul Richter has written about foreign policy and national security for the past three decades. Now, in his new book “The Ambassadors: America’s Diplomats on the Front Lines” he goes behind the battles and the headlines to highlight how American diplomats have been the unconventional—and unheralded—warriors in the nation’s recent conflicts in the Middle East. Invite him on your show and hear about the mostly unknown men and women including Robert Ford, who was taken hostage by a Shia militia during his long service in Iraq, and later, as ambassador to Syria, stood up to a dictator who was slaughtering his own people and Anne Patterson, who brokered behind-the-scenes political deals in Islamabad. As a Washington-based reporter for The Los Angeles Times, he traveled to 60 countries.

3. ==> Erdogan Finds Sanctuary in Trump White House
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in Washington this week and while he doesn’t have many DC fans, he does have an ally in the White House. Arron David Miller says Oval Office discussions may cover some difficult terrain (especially on Turkey’s purchase of a S-400 Russian air defense system), but Trump has long had a soft spot for Erdogan that all but guarantees the relationship will endure. Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is the author of “The End of Greatness: Why America Can’t Have (and Doesn’t Want) Another Great President.” He served as a Middle East negotiator in Democratic and Republican administrations.

4.==> Inside Edition’s Megan Alexander
Inside Edition correspondent Megan Alexander’s new kid’s book, “One More Hug” was inspired by her oldest son who experienced anxiety getting on the school bus and kept running back for “one more hug.” Megan says the story centers on kids’ worries and fears and the importance of parents’ reassurance that the feelings are normal, and OK to talk about. Megan also recorded a song she co-wrote with country music singer Lucas Hoge called “One More.” Megan Alexander is a national news correspondent, author, speaker and actress. She can be seen every evening as a correspondent on the syndicated TV show Inside Edition. Contact Aaron Crisler at (615) 474-8673; aaron@conduitmedia.biz
5. ==> Beware Black Friday Sales – $$ Saving Holiday Shopping Tips
According to the National Retail Federation, this holiday season Americans will spend about 4 percent more on their loved ones than they did last year, in part because of the roaring economy. But for some Americans, like those with high credit card debt, substantial student loans or less rosy job situations, the 2019 holiday season will require cutting back in order to get ahead. For those individuals, trimming their holiday budget is the right thing to do. Aptly-named financial coach Tina Antrim (whose name includes the word “trim”) warns that while upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales may sound like a great way to save money, that’s not necessarily the case. Invite her to share painless money-saving advice for holiday shoppers watching their pennies. Tina Antrim is a financial life coach and the author of “Escape the Paycheck to Paycheck Trap: The Ultimate Plan to Get Out of Debt and Supersize Your Savings.” Contact her at (260) 403-0137; antrimtina@gmail.com

Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and an expert in personal transformation, to reveal proven techniques to keep your cool and prevent family drama from getting out of hand this holiday season. He’ll discuss the common triggers that set people off and how to remain calm when family members try to push your buttons.

7. ==> Homeless and the Holidays: Could that Homeless Person Be Someone You Know?
As we begin the holiday season our thoughts often turn to the homeless. The season makes us think of the less fortunate – who are they and what can we do to help? What would you do if your mother was homeless and refused to be helped? Marty Vargas will share his story of finding his estranged birth mother 20 years after the pair were discovered sleeping in the snow in Philadelphia. Your listeners will be amazed as they hear the stranger-than-fiction real-life drama that unfolded amid the increasingly complicated search.

8. ==> Whistleblowing: Is it Always Ethical? (Or Truthful?)
What does it take to be a whistleblower? How do you know when to blow? In today’s world of grey – where right and wrong can appear blurry and the truth becomes subjective – what does it mean to be ‘ethical’ in business and in life? 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. “At the beginning of the FBI task force investigation, I gave them truth and honesty. I never lied about anything. Truth and integrity would eventually be my way up and out. They chose me over all other defendants, suspects and lawyers. They relied on my ethics and integrity. In the end this saved me.” John Smith is a speaker and author of “Embracing the Abyss” which chronicles his true story of unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and receiving a presidential pardon.

10. ==> Turn Waste into a Gift for National Philanthropy Day
Friday is National Philanthropy Day and a great time to talk about a different way to donate. Did you know that 70 billion dollars of life insurance policies literally go to waste annually? Why not turn that waste into a GIFT? Imagine getting cash for that life insurance policy you or your parents don’t need anymore! “Most consumers don’t realize that if you or your parents qualify, you can sell your policy to the highest bidder and receive up to 50 % of your death benefits,” says David Kottler, the Insurance Doctor (TM.) College alumni, for example, might consider donating their policies to their alma maters as a charitable gift, but universities and colleges would much rather have the CASH gift instead. It’s simply a more efficient way to give to non-profits! David combines his legal and business experience with a passion for philanthropy. His book “The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy” details everything you need to know to get that insurance policy working for you!

12. ==> Psychiatrist Reveals 7 Words to Never Say When Talking to Yourself
Dr. Donald Pet has helped people break addictions, transform their lives, and radically increase their own happiness simply by teaching them seven word switches. “Instead of telling yourself you ‘should’ do something, say that you ‘can’ do it!” he suggests. “Instead of saying that something ‘made’ you sad, tell yourself you ‘allowed’ it to discourage you. Instead of saying you feel a lot of ‘anger,’ tell yourself that you feel a lot of ‘energy’ about the situation.” These are just some of the ways Dr. Pet has helped people from all walks of life feel more joy and fulfillment by helping them break the cycle of self-sabotaging emotional reactions.

14. ==> From Worst Housing Project to Patriot and Doctor
When he was growing up in one of the worst housing projects in Los Angeles, few people would have predicted that Christopher Hall would be a role model and inspiration. It was more likely that he would end up like his father, who was in jail, or his brother, a seven-time felon now serving a 1,300-year sentence for attempted murder. Hall, who is now an ER doctor in Mississippi, is living proof that poor kids and kids in foster care and juvenile hall are not destined for failure and low educational achievement. He’ll share his powerful journey from juvenile hall to sleeping in a box at a Carl’s Jr. to dental school, medical school and then the military. He tells his story and that of his brother in his memoir “Ward of the Court.” Contact Hall at (251) 207-7527; chall@rtirguests.com

16. ==> How Single Dads Can Raise Boys to be Gentlemen
As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to become men due to that lack of a role model. We need programs where men help them to learn manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor Eric will discuss The Gentleman’s Club launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher Raymond Nelson, a program for boys that helps to instill confidence, self-respect and respect for others and share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help them to become great men.

Kim Chestney says, “Not so!” She says virtually everyone has the ability to attain goals beyond their wildest imaginings thanks to the one innate trait that all humans possess: Intuition! “Intuition is the most important, yet least understood faculty of human consciousness.

20. ==> Why You Shouldn’t Punish Your Kids
Parenting is one of the most important jobs anyone will ever have. But is it possible to raise a child to be a productive, independent adult without ever having to spank or take away that child’s privileges? Absolutely, says media veteran and child-rearing expert Emily Slingluff, who wrote the book on the topic, “Parenting without Punishment.” Emily will explain why there is never a reason to punish children. Good parent-child communication works so much better. Moreover, punishing children teaches them mean and uncomfortable behavior. It is even possible that it will lead to insecurity, confusion, depression, and unhappiness with life. She studied psychology and has a degree in government and economics from Sweet Briar College and was an assistant editor at The Virginia-Pilot.
