=======================================
1. ==> Mueller’s Greatest Failing is Trump’s Greatest
Triumph
It was all Robert Mueller all day yesterday as the
former special counsel sat for hours taking questions
from lawmakers on his investigation and subsequent
report into Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Former US attorney Harry Litman
says the probe has fallen well short of full justice,
but there is now a far grimmer problem. He writes, “The
efforts by Russia to disrupt the 2016 election, and the
Trump team’s efforts to subvert Mueller’s probe, are
matters of national import along the lines of 9/11 or
the Kennedy assassination. In those instances, we had
national commissions to get at the truth. It is awful
to contemplate that so many of the facts surrounding
what happened in 2016 and after might remain forever
the stuff of conjecture by historians rather than
testimony by witnesses. Here lies Trump’s greatest
triumph and Mueller’s greatest failing.” Harry Litman,
a Washington Post contributing columnist, is a former
U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general. He
teaches constitutional law and national security law at
the University of California at Los Angeles School of
Law and the University of California at San Diego
Department of Political Science. He is a regular
commentator on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News and is the
creator and executive producer of the “Talking Feds”
podcast. Contact him at hlitman@constantinecannon.com;

2. ==> Is Big Tech Headed for a Big Break-Up?
The U.S. Justice Department has announced a major
antitrust investigation into unnamed tech giants, and
the House Judiciary Committee has begun an
unprecedented antitrust probe into Google, Facebook,
Amazon and Apple over their aggressive business
practices, and promises “a top-to-bottom review of the
market power held by giant tech platforms.” Invite Jim
Rumford to reveal surprising parallels to U.S. history
and why he believes Donald Trump is the next Teddy
Roosevelt when it comes to trust busting. He’ll discuss
the history that led to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of
1890, how that is being repeated today, and ways
monopolies, big government and big corporations stick
together at the expense of middle- and working-class
people. Rumford is the author of “Tobacco, Trusts, and
Trump: How America’s Forgotten War Created Big
Government.” Rumford’s great-grandfather was a tobacco
buyer at the time the tobacco wars started. Rumford’s
own interest in the topic was piqued by his ancestor’s
scrapbook of newspaper articles of the day. Reach him
through Stephanie at (937) 272-8155;
stephanie@rumfordgroup.com
3. ==> A Day at the Beach Could Make You Sick!
Before you head to the beach this summer, you might
want to double-check the water conditions. According to
a new report, nearly 60% of more than 4-thousand
beaches tested across the US last year had unsafe water
pollution levels that put swimmers at risk of getting
sick. High fecal levels were found at more than 2-
thousand beaches in 29 coastal and Great Lakes states
from Maine to Hawaii. “Swimming at the beach is a prime
summertime joy for millions of Americans, but clearly
we have more work to do to make sure water at all our
beaches is safe,” says John Rumpler, director of
Environment America’s Clean Water Program. “We must
invest in water infrastructure that prevents pollution
to ensure that America’s waterways are safe for
swimming.” The report includes recommendations
including rain barrels, rooftop gardens, permeable
pavement, and urban green space that can all absorb
storm water runoff and prevent sewage overflows.
Congress is currently considering legislation to
increase funding for such “green infrastructure”
projects. Contact John Rumpler at (617) 747-4306.
4. ==> Hiding in Fear: Immigrants are Anxious, Even
Legal Ones
The Trump Administration has been touting an
immigration enforcement campaign titled “Operation
Border Resolve,” promising the program would deport
“millions” of illegal immigrants from the US. Although
the campaign has only resulted in 35 arrests, immigrant
families across the country—legal and illegal—are
frightened, anxious, and changing the way they go about
their daily lives. A new study by the Urban Institute
found that many immigrants are increasingly avoiding
routine activities, such as interacting with teachers
or school officials, health care providers, and the
police. The report says that poses risks for their
well-being and the communities in which they live.

5. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business? 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. Smith is 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 John Smith at (214)

6. ==> How Do We Depolarize America?
What causes polarization and how can we reduce it if
not outright eliminate it? Rachel Williams-Smith,
Ph.D., Ed.D., has a unique vantage point on the fear
that leads people to view others as less-human and what
we can do about it. Dr. Rachel grew up as a child of
extremist parents who thought the world was about to
end, so they moved to a remote homestead where they had
little contact with outsiders and lived with no modern
conveniences. Dr. Rachel grew up fearing the larger
world. When she was 16 and her father abandoned the
family, she found herself living in a world she had
been taught to shun. Her fascinating story and the
insights she can share about learning to appreciate
other people who don’t think as you do could not be
timelier. Dr. Rachel is the author of “Born Yesterday:
The True Story of a Girl Born in the 20th Century but
Raised in the 19th.” Now the dean of the School of
Journalism and Communication at Southern Adventist
University, Dr. Rachel is an experienced media guest
who speaks about the effects of extreme religion. Reach

7. ==> Making College Transition Better (for Everyone!)
In a few weeks, nearly 20 million students will head
off to college. 60% of them will struggle with
homesickness, depression and feeling overwhelmed and
many parents will find themselves feeling depressed and
anxious. “There are simple things that parents and
students can do now to help them prepare for this
transition in August,” say Lindy and Tom Schneider.
Invite America’s College Advisors to share their Ten
Tip Transition Strategy with your audience… ensuring a
better year for everyone! Professional college advisors
for more than 15 years, the Schneiders have been
featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, the CW and Inside
Edition. They are co-authors of “College Secrets of
Highly Successful People.” Contact Lindy Schneider at

8. ==> 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing
Great show for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11
moon landing! Invite NASA expert and space historian
Rod Pyle to share 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 him at (626)

9. ==> It’s Not Just Billionaires – The Hidden World of
Sex Trafficking
The charges against billionaire financier Jeffrey
Epstein underscore the prevalence of human trafficking
and how it often goes undetected and unpunished
according to Raleigh Sadler, a Christian reverend and
founder of the human trafficking awareness group Let My
People Go. He says the situation is complicated, and
insidious. “Human trafficking is far more prevalent
than the general public realizes, and it can affect
virtually any community.” Raleigh says awareness is
part of the problem, along with inaccurate information.
“Currently, most who are trafficked come through legal
points of entry,” he reveals. “As we focus on those
illegally crossing the border, we miss the reality that
many who are undocumented and already in the U.S. are
potential targets of would-be traffickers.” Raleigh
Sadler is the author of “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human
Trafficking.” Contact him at RSadler@rtirguests.com;
(917) 341-6758.
10. ==> Why People Tune You Out (and What to Do About
It)
When you talk, do others really pay attention?
Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
examples from the news and from clients he has worked
with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.
He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
Communication Secrets for a Distracted World” (AMACOM).

11. ==> How to Cure Opioid Addiction without Drugs
As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as
methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says
that there are other, natural ways to overcome
addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not
just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about
treating their environments and families.” He can also
share natural and over-the-counter remedies that can
expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac completed an
internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at
New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical
director at the Department of Justice as well as
director of infection control and chair of the quality
improvement medical committee. He is the author of
“Life and Death behind the Brick and Razor-Code Red
Diamond” and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.”

12. ==> Sustainable Summer Fun!
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, backyard
barbecues, trips to the beach and other outdoor
activities. But did you know that the activities and
objects we use, purchase and enjoy in summer might
actually harm the planet? According to author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar: “Single use
straws, not properly disposing of trash, buying patio
furniture made from illegally logged wood and
purchasing more food than we consume can have a very
negative impact on the world environment. If we can all
change small habits to be more environmentally
friendly, this can have a positive impact on the entire
plant.” Yasmin can discuss how our small, seemingly
harmless habits can have devastating impact on the
entire planet, and how we can change this. In addition
to being an environmental engineer, Yasmin holds a
Master of International Studies degree 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
13. ==> Revolutionary Way to Reverse Memory Loss
If you’re worried your short-term memory loss—those
moments when you just can’t remember a word, a name or
where you parked the car—are just the start of a
downhill slide, you’ll want to hear some encouraging
news from Julie Renee Doering. The brain rejuvenation
expert says memory loss can easily be reversed, even in
early stage dementia. She’ll discuss a ground-breaking
approach to cell regrowth and share the remarkable
results of a recent brain study that show the quantum
energy approach can dramatically improve not only
memory, but also mental outlook and sleep. It also
shows promise in reducing headaches and helping people
with speech difficulties. The brain rejuvenation work
Julie Renee is doing is just the tip of the iceberg in
her revolutionary Quantum Activation Academy. Doering,
who will soon be seen regularly on the long-running PBS
series Creative Living, embarked on her search for
answers after suffering several brain injuries, major
accidents and chronic illnesses in her earlier life.
The author of 12 books including “The Divine Human
Blueprint,” she currently offers more than 150
trainings and 180 transformative meditations. Contact
her at (415) 385 6394; in8@JulieRenee.com
14. ==> From Living in the Worst Housing Project to a
Life of Accomplishment
No one expected much from Christopher L. Hall. After
all, his mother was an alcoholic, his father was in
jail, he lived in one of the worst housing projects in
Los Angeles and he was a runaway who stole a
motorcycle. But Hall defied the odds. Invite him on air
to discuss what happened when he was 14 that set him on
the path to dental school, medical school, and the
military. Today he is an ER doctor in Mississippi even
as one of his brothers sits in federal prison serving
the equivalent of a life sentence. Now a role model and
leader, Hall can inspire other young people to realize
that it isn’t where you start in life that matters,
it’s where you end up. Contact him at (251) 207-7527;
chall@rtirguests.com
15. ==> Why Domestic Violence Hurts Everyone
According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; it
tears at the very fabric of entire communities.” It can
impact a company’s bottom line due to lost
productivity, can cause long-term health problems in
victims, can spill over to schools and workplaces, and
involve innumerable police man hours. Thus, a multi-
pronged approach is needed to tackle this madness head
on. 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.

17. ==> Surviving Stage Four Cancer Like Alex Trebek
Beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek says his stage four
pancreatic cancer is in “near remission,” according to
his doctors. He tells PEOPLE, “It’s kind of mind-
boggling … The doctors said they hadn’t seen this
kind of positive result in their memory.” Anthony
Randle’s wife, Jessica, also faced a grim prognosis
when she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer,
and she too defied doctors’ expectations! Invite
Anthony to discuss what he believes saved his wife’s
life, what he discovered through his own research and
how it helped her sail through chemo to become
healthier and happier than ever. Anthony shares his
poignant experiences in his book “The True Story of a
Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
Within.” Contact Anthony at ARandle@rtirguests.com;

19. ==> Could You Forgive Parents Who Abused You?
Many people have bad childhoods. But what makes Wade
Meadows remarkable is how he was able to forgive both

on Friday the 13th and his workaholic father who was
unable to protect him. Invite Wade on air to explain
how he was able to open his heart when his mother
needed a caregiver, how he manages to live a hopeful
