1. ==> New Book Claims CIA Has Plan to Kill Trump

Jerome Corsi, the old 2004 Swiftboater, is back with a
new theory about how far the ‘deep state’ will go to
destroy Donald Trump’s presidency. The flier for
“Killing the Deep State,” says the book proves that
there is underway a ‘coup d’état to take out President
Trump,’ orchestrated by Obama and his lieutenants. The
publisher claims that although the book is a best-
seller, The New York Times made a decision to leave it
off its list, although for one week it begrudgingly
listed it, under pressure, as #15. Ronald Radosh says,
“Best-seller or not, Corsi’s narrative is a compendium
of all the conspiracy theories put together and is
bound to be a basic source for Trump’s defenders, who
are taking out the crude edges and using his analysis
as the standard for showing why Trump’s presidency must
be defended at all costs against the nefarious deep
state. In today’s polarized climate, the more that
narrative is spread and adopted, the more it poses a
serious threat to our democracy.” Ronald Radosh is an
adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute. He’s the author
of a history of the Democratic Party and many other
books. Contact him at rradosh@comcast.net; @ronradosh

2. ==> Weinstein and Why Men Claim Rape is Consensual

Harvey Weinstein is the target of a new lawsuit by
three women, including a technology sales executive who
accuses the producer of sexual assault and rape. Last
week, he was criminally indicted by a New York grand
jury alleging rape and sexual assault on two women. His
attorney insists Weinstein never had nonconsensual sex
and that a trial will clear the disgraced mogul’s name.
Author and rape survivor Joyce Short says, “The word
‘consent’ is the most misunderstood in the English
language. Our penal codes must standardize the true
meaning of consent across the US, and hopefully,
beyond.” Short will explain the meaning of consent and
discuss what changes are needed in our laws to combat
sex crimes and get predators behind bars. Joyce Short
advocates for sexual assault victims around the world.
She’s been awarded a “Woman of Distinction” honor by
the NY State Assembly and is fighting for new laws on
consent across the US. Contact her at (917) 517-8572;

3. ==> Prince’s 60th B-Day – What You Don’t Know about
the Music Icon

This Thursday, June 7th, music icon Prince would have
turned 60 years old. It’s been two years since he was
found dead in his Paisley Park mansion and still, many
questions remain about the man, his life and his music.
Invite documentary filmmaker and author Duane Tudahl to
discuss the man behind the music, his obsessive drive
and demand for total control, and how Purple Rain
catapulted him from a cult-favorite to a superstar.
You’ll learn: Was Prince really a devout Jehovah’s
Witness? What’s in his mysterious and legendary vault
and will we ever get to hear it? Who was the love of
his life? How does Prince’s music and legacy rank in
the history of pop music? What was the secret to his
success? Tudahl spent 20 years interviewing over 40
band members, singers, and engineers for his acclaimed
book Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions:
1983 and 1984. He’ll share their personal, never-
before-heard stories from inside the studio. Contact
him at (818) 726-8638 (CA); duane@duanetudahl.com

4. ==> US Open – Have Deadlifts Damaged Jordan Spieth’s
Putting?

Golfer Jordan Spieth was ranked 8th last year in putts
3′ and under. This year he’s ranked 205th! What’s
happened? Some say the problem is a mental one, but Bob
Prichard believes it’s entirely physical and due to
damage from lifting 380 lb. weights. “I see it in
golfers all the time. Weight-lifting builds muscle by
tearing muscle fibers, but you also create scar tissue
that can’t be released by stretching. It accumulates
over time, reducing flexibility in the back, shoulders
and neck.” Prichard runs the Somax Performance
Institute. His athletes have won 44 Gold Medals, and
set 11 World Records. His golfers have won the US Open
and improved their putting from #113 to #1. Hear why
he suspects the condition has affected other pro
golfers like Tiger Woods, David Duval and Jason Day–as
well as weekend duffers. Prichard will share simple
ways to test for the condition, and explain how
releasing microfibers can correct the problem and
improve performance, reverse age-related stiffness and
back pain. An NBC Sports Olympics on-air analyst, he’s
written for many publications and his sports analysis
videos have over 6M views on YouTube. His new book is
“Are You Robbing Your Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at
(415) 435- 9880 (CA); bprichard@somaxsports.com

5. ==> Summer Jobs that Hurt Your Mental Health

School is about to let out and it’s time to find a
summer job but Dr. John Huber says not all seasonal
jobs are good for everyone, and some can even hurt your
mental health. “Some jobs can be great summer
experiences like camp counseling or lifeguarding. They
can be fulfilling and allow teens to be responsible and
learn to be leaders,” says Dr. Huber. But other job, he
adds, may not be suited for everyone. “It sounds like
fun to work at a theme park in a costume, but it’s
often brutally hot and a very demanding job. And if
you’re accustomed to a life of comfort and repeatedly
checking your phone, landscaping will probably be a
nightmare summer job for you.” Dr. John Huber is a
clinical forensic psychologist and the chairman for
Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit mental health
organization. Dr. Huber has appeared on hundreds of
radio shows and dozens of national television programs.

6. ==> Unconventional Advice for Grads – Give a Damn!

Mark Lewis has three words for new grads seeking advice
on how to find success: Give a damn! While it may be an
untraditional suggestion, he says it gets to the heart
of what real success is. “Being self-centered is not
only dangerous, it’s a one-way ticket to failure,
violence, and bad relationships. Grads need to remember
that it is not about getting ahead, it’s about what you
do for others that gets you ahead.” Lewis will explain
what giving a damn means, the human perspective that
determines success, and how new grads can set
themselves apart by taking responsibility, living
honestly and not expecting anything in return. Lewis is
a business consultant, corporate growth expert and
president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a
Damn: Individually We Make a Difference, Collectively
We Change.” Contact him at (504) 905-4646;

7. ==> How Dying Made Me a Better Father

Danny Bader’s life was transformed by a near death
experience more than 20 years ago and he says what he
learned from the experience has made him a better
father. He’d just finished a roofing job with two
buddies and was helping one retract the ladder when it
hit the power lines. The other man holding the ladder—a
husband and father of three young kids—died instantly.
For all intents and purposes, Danny was also dead …and
then he wasn’t. Physically he recovered quickly but
emotionally, the accident took its toll. Now 54, the
author and inspirational speaker can discuss how
vision, support and faith helped him through the
tragedy, and how he uses the three powerful principles
with his children to support them on their journeys.
Danny is a coach, speaker and author of “Back from
Heaven’s Front Porch,” “Abraham’s Diner,” and “I Met
Jesus for a Miller Lite.” Contact him at (610)

8. ==> The Difference Between Leakers and
Whistleblowers

Roughly half of all workers say they witness crimes or
wrongdoing at their workplace but only 3% blow the
whistle to the authorities. While some portray
whistleblowers are snitches and leakers, Michael McCray
says it takes courage and tenacity to speak out and
stand up. Invite the public interest advocate to
explain why so few come forward and whether the culture
is changing. McCray blew the whistle on $40M of fraud
during the Clinton Administration and has become one of
the world’s foremost proponents for whistleblowers. In
his book “Race, Power & Politics” McCray gives the
inside story of ACORN (Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now). He also hosts the
Whistleblower Summit for Civil & Human Rights, the
largest and most prestigious whistleblower conference
on Capitol Hill, on July 30th, National Whistleblower
Appreciation Day. Contact him at (870) 543-0024;

9. ==> DNA Testing for …Wine?

Millions of people are getting DNA tests to help trace
their personal histories, but wine expert Kevin Begos
says scientists are now using the technology to trace
the history of wine! The author of “Tasting the Past:
The Science of Flavor & the Search for the Origins of
Wine” can discuss how DNA analysis, mass spectrometry,
liquid chromatography, and other high-tech tools are
helping winemakers rediscover rare native grapes and
rescue them from the brink of extinction. You’ll hear
how archaeobiologists in Milan brought Leonardo da
Vinci’s lost vineyard back to life and scientists in
Israel are rediscovering native grapes of the Holy
Land, and get recommendations for wines that go far
beyond the endless bottles of Chardonnay and Merlot
found in most stores and restaurants. Journalist Kevin
Begos is a former MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow
and former AP correspondent. Contact Johanna Ramos-
Boyer at (703) 646-5137 or Erin Bolden at (703)
646-5188.

10. ==> Will The Royal Marriage Be a Royal Pain?

It may have been a fairy tale wedding, but how will
Harry and Meghan fare now that the ceremony is over and
their new life together sets in? As the new couple is
learning, every day of their life, every move they make
will be scrutinized, from what they wear to when they
become parents. How will the Duchess cope with leaving
her successful acting career? How will living in this
royal fishbowl affect their relationship? What sort of
precautions must they take to not let other people’s
opinions affect who they are and make time for each
other? Kristie Overstreet, a psychotherapist, author,
and speaker, has advice for the royal couple as well as
any couple taking their vows this summer. Dr.
Overstreet has been featured on CNN and in Self,
Psychology Today and other major media. She is the
author of “Fix Yourself First: 25 Tips to Stop Ruining
Your Relationships.” Reach her at (904) 566-9256 or
Kristie@TherapyDepartment.com

11. ==> Are You Guilty of Ignoring the Financial
Monsters Under Your Bed?

Parents reassure their children that there are no
monsters hiding under their bed. But Rodger Friedman
says it is adults who need to be concerned with the
monsters hiding under their beds. On air, he’ll explain
the three biggest monsters that most of us are ill-
prepared to handle but are almost certain to slay their
retirement savings: inflation, medical care expenses
and long-term care costs. But smart people will fight
back against them before they rear their ugly heads.
“Walk into retirement unprepared and it’s like a lamb
being led to slaughter,” says the chartered retirement
planning counselor and former senior vice president of
Morgan Stanley. Think you don’t have to worry about
inflation? Rodger says, “The greatest risk folks face
in retirement is that their income will not be able to
keep pace with the increase in expenses.” It’s time
someone woke your listeners and Rodger is the master at
doing so with hope and soundbites. The author of “The
Mindset of Retirement Success” and two other books on
the topic, this experienced talk-show guest has been
featured in Time, U.S. News and numerous radio
programs. The only things hiding under his bed are dust
bunnies. Contact him at (844) 369-7526;

12. ==> Why Most of Your Listeners Lose Money in the
Stock Market

It’s been said that 90% of traders lose money in the
stock market, but what about the average investor
having a 401K, IRA, or an individual brokerage account?
We don’t have exact figures on this, but we do know
that more than half, lose money. John Miller, a
financial advisor for 25 years, has seen all sorts of
market ups and downs and can share his professional
insights on how the average investor can make money.
Invite him to reveal his winning strategy to your
audience. His new book, “The Coming Gold, Silver, and
Block-Chain Share Explosion!” reveals, in simple terms,
how Americans can protect and build their life savings.
Your audience will also receive a free Kindle download
of the book by visiting his website. Miller has
appeared on the Mancow Morning Show, the Joe Bartlett
Show, the Financial Survival Network, The Phil Hulet
Show, and other radio shows nationwide. Contact him at

13. ==> Time Management for People Who Hate It

Is your workday filled with chaos? Do you wish you
could get more done? Most of us do and Jonathan Denn
has a way to help. Using neuroscience and best
practices, he’s come up with a system to make your work
life (and home life) more efficient so you accomplish
more with greater control and satisfaction. It’s a time
management system for people who hate time management
systems. It’s called DRUMBEAT Productivity and, using a
fun music metaphor, it shows you how to divide your day
into jam sessions with teammates, improv time and solo
sessions in which you get your own work done. He’s got
the tips your audience needs to find perhaps as much as
an extra two hours of free time at work or home. Denn
is a business mentor, executive coach, and former hotel
chain CEO whose articles have appeared in Forbes and
Fortune. He is the author of “DRUMBEAT Business
Productivity Playbook: How to BEAT Goals and
Disorganization.” Contact him at (860) 930-0264;

14. ==> Why This Author Says Many Homeless People Are
Great Role Models

Get ready to question nearly everything you think you
know about homeless people—including who they are and
how they got there. Glen Dunzweiler, who has
extensively interviewed homeless people and their
advocates, will say that the same qualities it takes to
survive on the street—stress management, humility, a
positive attitude, for example—are identical to what
all of us need to get by in life. He can bust the
biggest myths people have about the homeless and reveal
which celebrities were formerly homeless. Dunzweiler is
a filmmaker, producer, director, public speaker and
former college professor whose documentary,
“yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon Prime. He is also
the author of “Things I’ve Learned from the Homeless.”

15. ==> Has Work Become a Religion?

Benjamin Hunnicutt says work is the modern religion,
but is failing as a faith. According to a 2014 Harris
poll, nearly 70 percent of U.S. employees are not
‘involved in, enthusiastic about or committed to their
work.’ He says, “Millennials depend less and less on
their jobs as the place to realize their dreams, having
found the overblown promises of work empty. Many older
workers feel betrayed by work, having made it the
centerpiece of their lives and a key source of
happiness only to realize how dispensable they are when
they are passed over for promotion, sidelined or laid
off.” Hunnicutt doesn’t suggest a society without
work, but says, “It is reasonable to expect that work
will eventually return to its historical set-point as a
means to an end rather than an end in itself. Work can
be tamed, and made more of an adornment to life rather
than its center.” Benjamin Hunnicutt is professor of
leisure studies at the University of Iowa and author of
“Free Time: The Forgotten American Dream.” Contact him

16. ==> Don’t Forget to Do a Show for Brain Awareness
Month

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time
when people will be wearing purple shirts with the
hashtag #EndAlz. As someone with a brain, you already
know the importance of keeping your memory sharp and
avoiding the most famous memory-robbing disease,
Alzheimer’s. But what you probably don’t know is that
the technique for putting the fork in Alzheimer’s
already exists only most of us do not know about it.
Invite Michael Morgan, LMT, CST-D, on your show to talk
about CranioSacral therapy, a revolutionary way of
treating Alzheimer’s and dementia that he is helping to
pioneer. When consistently applied, he says the gentle,
easily learned, affordable technique can significantly
roll back Alzheimer’s and dementia in a few weeks. He
can discuss his research, explain what craniosacral
therapy is (it’s also being used by NFL players and
children with autism) and ways it can increase
longevity. Morgan, who’s been researching Alzheimer’s
and dementia since 2008, was inspired to do so in part
after watching his stepmother and sister-in-law succumb
to the disease. He’s a well-known instructor of
CranioSacral Therapy and teaches the technique all over
the world. He’s also the author of “Preventing
Alzheimer’s in Just 10 Minutes a Day with the
BodyEnergy Prescription and CranioSacral Therapy.”

17. ==> The Other Victims of the Opioid Crisis

For decades many doctors’ treatment of choice for pain
was opioids, but we now know they’re unsafe and have
created a catastrophic addiction epidemic. Doctors have
been advised to stop prescribing the drugs, so the
medicine is now gone, but the pain remains for
millions. Chronic pain expert Cindy Perlin says, “Much
suffering can be avoided and many lives can be saved if
more physicians and pain patients knew about the many
safe and effective alternative pain treatments that are
available”. Cindy Perlin is a licensed clinical social
worker, certified biofeedback practitioner, chronic
pain survivor, the creator of the online Alternative
Pain Treatment Directory and the author of “The Truth
About Chronic Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst
Strategies for Becoming Pain Free.” She has been in
private practice in the Albany, NY area for over 25
years and has been a guest on numerous radio and TV
shows. Contact her at (518) 439-6431 or at
cindyperlin@gmail.com.

18. ==> Why We Can’t Stay Happy …and What to Do about
It!

the world. But did you know that you can control how
happy you feel? Ed Kuiper, author of “Ride the
Happiness Wave,” can show your audience how to simply
and easily activate their own happiness. It is possible
to relieve the heaviness and fatigue that have become a
standard default for many of them. Ed will share

19. ==> Why Summer is the Best Time to Beat Sugar
Addiction

Did you know that 70 percent of the U.S. population is
addicted to sugar and it sets them up for diabetes,
weight gain, foggy thinking, irritability and even
anger issues? The good news, according to Griff
Neilsen, is that summer is a great time to kick the
“sweet” habit. Invite him on your show and learn how to
know if you’re addicted to sugar, whether our brains
are hard-wired for sugar addiction, how much sugar is
safe for children and adults, and whether you need to
go cold turkey when trying to eliminate your cravings.
A multiple-certified personal trainer and Level III
CHEK holistic lifestyle coach/nutritionist, Griff holds
a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from the
University of Utah. His new book is “Exorcising Your
Excuses: Heal Your Mind. Honor Your Body. Manifest Your
Dream.” Contact him at (801) 444-2796; griff@llfit.com

20. ==> Curious about Fantasy Baseball Camp?

As an undersized kid with a rough home life, little
league baseball was salvation for Larry Roth, and the
Yankees were his idols. When he receives a trip to New
York Yankees Fantasy Camp, a funny and touching journey
begins for the 59½-year-old lawyer. Find out what it’s
like to take the field after a 40-year layoff, why bats
must always be wooden, why ice is a must (and not just
in a martini), and what happens when you’re in a
kangaroo court against Darryl Strawberry. If you’ve
ever been tempted to suit up like the pros and live
life in the major league, Roth can answer your
questions about both the reality and the fantasy behind
fantasy camp. Roth is the author of “A Lawyer in
Pinstripes: A Fantasy Journey,” a memoir about his
experiences in little league and fantasy camp. Contact
Larry Roth at (407) 222-9839 or lroth@roth-law.com.
