=======================================
1. ==> On and in Venezuela
On Venezuela Sanctions:
According to a new report from the Center for Economic
and Policy Research, economic sanctions implemented by
the Trump administration since August 2017 have caused
tens of thousands of deaths and are rapidly worsening
the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. Economist Mark
Weisbrot says, “American sanctions are deliberately
aiming to wreck Venezuela’s economy and thereby lead to
regime change. It’s a fruitless, heartless, illegal,
and failed policy, causing grave harm to the Venezuelan
people.” The report is co-authored by noted economists
Mark Weisbrot and Jeffrey Sachs. Contact Dan Beeton at
beeton@cepr.net; @ceprdc
In Venezuela Now:
Teri Mattson is program manager with the Intrepid News
Fund and is currently in Venezuela. She says, “The
people here are amazingly calm and incredibly resilient
despite the sanctions and constant threat of military
intervention. … The U.S. does not seem to understand
the pulse of the street nor does it understand the
history of the Venezuelan military.” Contact her at
teri@intrepidnewsfund.org
2. ==> Host of Investigation Discovery’s ‘True
Conviction’
A renowned Brooklyn, NY, homicide prosecutor, Anna-
Sigga Nicolazzi is the host of Investigation
Discovery’s new hit series True Conviction. Nicolazzi
takes you inside the fight for justice for victims and
their loved ones as she shows how the nation’s top
prosecutors tackled their toughest cases and
successfully placed the guilty party behind bars. In
each episode, Nicolazzi examines a different homicide
case, meets with key figures in the case, shares her
personal insights and reveals how the complex layers of
the investigation came together in the court room. A
frequent legal analyst on several TV networks, Anna-
Sigga Nicolazzi can discuss what viewers can expect
from True Conviction as well as some of her most
memorable cases and courtroom experiences. Contact

3. ==> 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11
Just in time for this summer’s 50th anniversary of the
Apollo 11th moon landing, NASA expert and space
historian Rod Pyle offers 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

4. ==> The Psychology of Modern Mothering
Invite clinical psychologist and couples’ therapist
Daphne de Marneffe, PhD., to discuss 21st Century
motherhood and women’s desires to be the best mother
they can be. Dr. de Marneffe will shed new light on old
debates and provide an emotional road map for mothers
who work and mother who are at home – digging deep into
the cultural, political, and personal meaning of the
desire to have and care for children. Dr. de Marneffe
is the author of “Maternal Desire: On Children, Love,
and the Inner Life” and “The Rough Patch: Marriage and
the Art of Living Together.” Contact Johanna Ramos
Boyer at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);

5. ==> What Moms Need Most: Really Good Laughs
Unless they have a brother or two, most women are
genuinely surprised by just how amusing, gross, and
silly their sons can be. Diane Auten was no exception.
“Kids are the most hysterical and entertaining beings
on Earth,” Auten says. Knowing what a difficult job
motherhood can be, Auten wants to give mothers
everywhere a priceless present—the ability to laugh
aloud and compare notes on the funny situations little
boys naturally create around them. Being a ‘boymom’ is
totally optional to enjoying this topic as Auten shares
surprising things little boys say about sex and their
bodies, what makes the mother-son bond so special, and
how to connect better with the boys in our lives.
Auten, a professor of speech communication, wrote down
the crazy questions her young sons asked and recorded
the conversations that ensued. The stories were such a
big hit on social media they became the foundation of
her ‘momoir,’ “The Joys of Raising Boys: the Good, the
Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact her at (805) 215-1324;

6. ==> What Women Really Want for Mother’s Day
Cards, breakfast in bed, flowers and candy are all very
nice. But, according to Adita Yrizarry-Lang, what busy
multitasking women really want for Mother’s Day is time
for themselves. Pointing out that most women put their
own needs on the back burner while taking care of
everyone else’s, Adita will lay out a plan that helps
women put aside their need for perfection and put their
own needs first. She’ll encourage women to put a smile
on their face every day by rediscovering what truly
makes them happy and building that into their lives
along with time to meditate, exercise and eat right. A
busy mother herself, Adita is a 30-year wellness
educator who has been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She
is the author of “SuperPowers.” Contact her at (305)

7. ==> How to Survive Having a Crazy Mom
Not everyone lives with June Cleaver. In fact, few moms
live up to that artificial standard. What happens when
Mom is the polar opposite? You have a few choices –
ignore her, walk away, deal with it or let yourself get
as crazy as she is. Sometimes you do them all. Annie
Evans knows. She’s been there and done that. She will
give you a show to remember as she shares her
experience – exploring the mother/daughter relationship
at its very core. Evans will help audiences learn how
to recover from non-existent parenting and broken
trust. She’ll offer ways to overcome the effects, and
even PTSD, that a mother’s mental illness leaves
behind. Contact her at aevans@rtirguests.com or (310)
621-0456.
8. ==> Do Happy Mothers Have Happy Kids?
As we prepare to celebrate motherhood on May 12, the
spotlight is on Mom, and Emily Slingluff says it’s
important to understand how important a happy mother is
to having happy children. Invite her to talk about the
importance of raising happy children, and how
mothers—and fathers—can change the equation. She says,
“The formative years of life are called formative for a
reason. And the main influence in those first years is
the parent.” Slingluff says parents have more influence
than anyone in raising a kinder, happier generation.
She’ll discuss clear and easy ways to help kids be
happy with life. Emily Slingluff is the author of
several parenting books including “Peace” and
“Parenting without Punishment.” Contact her at (757)

9. ==> Sandwiched Boomers Feel the Squeeze: Expert
Shares Easy Financial Fix
With the state of health care today many people live in
fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings and create a financial maelstrom their
family would never recover from. Did you know that if
you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your death
benefits in cash? David Kottler, also known as the
Insurance Doctor ™, will explain how selling off that
life insurance policy you or your loved one doesn’t
need any more can generate the cash to pay hospital
bills… get out of debt… or even make a cash gift to the
non-profit of their choice! How is this possible? Most
people don’t know the little-known secret that when you
don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it
off! Find out how! 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 your audience needs to know
about how to get that insurance policy working for
them! Contact David at (216) 532-1221;

10. ==> Secrets to Successful House Flipping
Those popular home improvement TV shows make it all
look so easy, but according to real estate expert Dan
Lieberman, that’s not the way it works. “They show the
befores and afters and how much they paid and sold it
for,” he says. “But they don’t tell you what they paid
the bank in loan costs, all the ‘un-billed’ time
involved, or about the construction deals they get
because they have a TV show.” Dan is a long-time
property renovator who can tell your audiences how to
get the most bang for their buck by improving rental
properties, and other money-making tips. He is the
author of “The Effective Landlord: How Owners and
Property Managers Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise
Rents, and Boost Their Bottom Line in Any Market.”

11. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All
Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky wrote the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band” with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

12. ==> Do a Show About Sexism in Hollywood
While female directors are not given their due in
Hollywood, this wasn’t always the case. “In Episode 3
of my TV series ‘Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Food, Travel, and
Lost History,’ I talk about the lack of women directors
in Hollywood,” says Kailin Gow. “But what’s fascinating
is that the earliest pioneers of filmmaking in
Hollywood were women who wrote and directed many silent
films. When films started making money and being
profitable, that’s when many men entered filmmaking and
turned it into a big industry. The pioneer women
filmmakers were forgotten and left behind.” Kailin can
share how women can break through the glass ceiling in
this and other male-dominated industries. She is a
director/filmmaker, founder of Sparklesoup Inc., and an
author who has sold over 5.5 million books. Contact
Kailin at KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.
13. ==> Why Domestic Violence is Everyone’s
Responsibility
According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.”
Lindsley will discuss how domestic violence impacts a
company’s bottom line due to lost productivity, causes
long-term health problems in victims, spills over to
schools and workplaces, and involves innumerable police
man hours and why a multi-pronged approach is needed.
Curt can 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 Violence Task Force, official
sponsor of Purple Light Nights®. Contact Curt at
clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092
14. ==> How Embarrassing: Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work
When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to you it may not make the
news, but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact your
career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that
can play havoc with anyone’s image. Tamara can also
dish on the most common fashion blunders seen around
the office that can also wreck your image. She is the
author of “Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on
Wall Street, Main Street and Every Street in Between.”

15. ==> Surprise! Nightmares Are Good for You
Most people try to forget their bedtime nightmares as
quickly as possible. But, according to Nora Truscello,
a 30-year psychic and dream expert, that’s a mistake
because “nine out of 10 nightmares are offering you a
positive message.” Interview Nora to learn what that
message might be as well as to better understand any
dream you may have had. She can also share the best way
is to remember your dreams and ways all of us can use
intuition. This summer, Nora will be giving a talk on
dreams at Lily Dale Assembly in New York, which says it
is the world’s largest center for the science,
philosophy and religion of spiritualism. Reach Nora at

16. ==> Counselor Reveals the Truth About Trump
Marriage
Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
disgraceful divorces and Pastor and marriage counselor
Rev. George Sukhdeo believes his 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 and the author of the “Preparing for and
Fostering Harmony in Marriage.” Contact him at
GSukhdeo@rtirguests.com or (647) 691-6042.
17. ==> The Science of Bringing More Abundance into
Your Life
According to scientist David. L. Peters, “Abundance is
not more money or things. Abundance is a life of joy
and happiness, under all conditions that life sends
you, the good and the not-so-good.” David has spent 80+
years living a joyful and abundant life, immersed in
science and spirituality where he has found that one
supports the other. “The pathway of the 12 steps leads
to joy and happiness even under devastating
conditions.” He has achieved great prominence in his
career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven
great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage for 57
years. He is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact him at David at
DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.
18. ==> This Guest Reveals How to Be as Smart as
Einstein
The most extraordinary people like Albert Einstein,
DaVinci, Mozart and Steve Jobs had one common trait
that was the secret to their success: Intuition. “But
this revolutionary inner power is not just for the
elite few; it is the birthright of each and every one
of us,” says Kim Chestney. “It is our secret ‘Inner
Creator’ that makes the difference between the good and
the great, the smart and the wise, and the ordinary and
the extraordinary life.” Einstein said: “The only real
valuable thing is intuition.” Kim will illustrate how
to tap into this innate trait, with life-changing
results. An international best-selling author and
Intuition expert, Kim founded the CREATE! Festival in
Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new global online Intuition school,
IntuitionLab is launching now. Contact her at
KChestney@rtirguests.com; (412) 214-9502.
19. ==> Why the Peace Plan Will Fail & How End-Times
Begin
As the Trump administration and Jared Kushner put the
finishing touches on their peace plan, Richard Ruhling,
M.D., offers reasons why the plan will fail, leading to
impending end-times from a vision that Gabriel said is
“at the time of the end.” Historians say the Medes and
Persians in Daniel 8:20 were conquered by Alexander,
but those areas are now Iraq and Iran and this vision
for “time of the end” is half fulfilled. Dr. Ruhling’s
latest book is “9”-11: How 9-11 Links in Christ’s Last
Parables Show End-Times Begin This Spring.” The 9-11
links are based on a provision in Numbers 9:10,11 for
Passover (time of judgment) a month later–the week
after the peace plan. The Bible says, “When they say
‘peace and safety,’ sudden destruction” is coming. It
was that way with Japan and Pearl Harbor. Dr. Ruhling
taught health science at Loma Linda University. He will
provide a free copy of his book to interviewers. He’s
been on dozens of talk shows focusing on current events
and Bible prophecy. Contact him at (928) 582-8664;

20. ==> Helping People (Of All Ages) Keep the Bed Dry
Why do so many kids avoid camping and sleep-overs away
from home? What deeply embarrasses adolescents and even
older people during vacations, retreats, field trips
and other overnight travels? What should they know
about keeping the bed dry every night? World Bedwetting
Day is May 21. Invite acclaimed pediatrician Jeff
Lazarus, M.D., to answer those and other questions
like: How does hypnosis work to help bedwetters? What
should parents, teachers, coaches and health
professionals know? Why do so many doctors avoid the
issue? Do adult diapers only make things worse? Dr.
Lazarus created “Keeping the Bed Dry,” a comprehensive
home video. Contact him at (216) 800-0498;
