1.==> With Bolton Out: What Now?
John Bolton is the latest casualty of the Trump
Administration. The National Security Advisor was
booted from the position this week and Jim Lobe, a
foreign policy journalist says, “This is a body blow to
the Jacksonians in the administration and Congress who,
like Dick Cheney under George W. Bush, pushed hard for
the aggressive and punishing use of military power as a
means of intimidating all potential rivals or other
states perceived as hostile or antagonistic to the
United States (or Israel) and who believed that
multilateral institutions, like the UN, the European
Union, and even international treaties signed by the
U.S., too often constrain Washington’s power to shape
the world to its liking.” He adds, “Of course, Bolton’s
departure will naturally increase the influence of
Pompeo, a Christian Zionist whose views on Middle East
policy, in particular, are very close to hardline
neoconservatives.” Jim Lobe served for some 30 years as
the Washington, D.C. bureau chief for Inter Press
Service and is best known for his coverage of U.S.
foreign policy and the influence of the neoconservative
movement. He is the founder of LobeLog, which features
investigative pieces on foreign policy. Contact him at

2. ==> Democratic Debate #3
The 10 leading Democratic presidential candidates take
to the stage tonight for the party’s third 2020
presidential primary debate. Communication expert Paul
Hellman will discuss how the candidates did—both their
content and their presence— who took advantage of the
opening seconds, who was especially nimble on their
feet, and ultimately, who stood out. And he can share
insights about how anyone, even if not running for
president, can present themselves more effectively.
Paul Hellman consults and speaks internationally on how
to make your point—so you get heard, get remembered and
get results. His 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,” an
Amazon best seller. Contact him at (508) 276-7013;

3. ==> Who Says You’re Dead?
Who should get custody of an embryo created through IVF
when a couple divorces? Should an alcoholic in poor
health be forced to go to rehab? Can a pediatrician
refuse to see non-vaccinated clients? Or, when you or a
loved one is on life support, who says you’re dead?
Attending psychiatrist at Mount Sinai and celebrated
bioethicist Dr. Jacob M. Appel will consider these
bioethical questions with your audience when he asks
them to play doctor and decide what they would do if
confronted with the dilemma. He’ll then reveal what
decisions were actually made in the real-life cases on
which the scenarios are based. Dr. Appel’s new book is
“Who Says You’re Dead? Medical & Ethical Dilemmas for
the Curious & Concerned.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer
at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.
4.==> New Study: Naps Reduce Strokes and Heart Attacks
Napping once or twice per week appears to lower the
risk of strokes as well as heart attacks and failures
according to a study involving 3,462 people living in
the Swiss city of Lausanne. Researchers found that
subjects appeared to reap the benefits no matter how
long they napped—but that napping more than once or
twice a week didn’t seem to provide any extra benefits
in terms of heart health. Invite brain injury expert
and author Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss the study,
the importance of sleep on the brain, and whether naps
could actually help prevent a stroke. Susan Stoica was
trained as an engineer and holds a Ph.D. in computer
engineering. She was born with the gift of being able
to detect irregularities/stresses in the human energy
field and has a special ability to work with brain
trauma. “Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life” is based
on her experience as a healer working for over 30 years
with brain injured people, and her own experience with
TBI. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103; (919)
377-1200.
5. ==> Disney Voice-Over Artist Sees Dead People
Your listeners will recognize Jarrad Hewett’s voice the
moment he opens his mouth. He’s recorded over two
thousand TV and radio commercials and has been heard on
virtually every major network in America. But it’s
what he SEES – not says – that is his true gift. AKA
the Badass Psychic, Jarrad sees dead people AND the
energy in and around everyone. Jarrad will discuss his
early psychic experiences and the strange encounter
with an older woman that made him realize that what he
saw as a heavy burden and something broken and wrong
with him, was actually a gift that he could use to help
others. Jarrad Hewett is one of the most recognized
voices on the Disney channel, CMT, and HGTV, where he
narrates the show Tiny Houses, Big Living. His natural
abilities allow him to see and transmute all forms of
energy. He specializes in visionary teaching and remote
healing energy work and has written several best-
selling books including “Love, Life, God: The Journey
of Creation” and his latest, “The Answer is Energy.”

6. ==> Give Kids a Back-to-School Toolkit
Back-to-School can mean anxiety for kids who are
starting new schools or nervous in general about doing
well and making new friends. One way to tamp down that
anxiety is by providing children with a Back-to-School
toolkit that is both effective and free. Former school
principal Anne Andrew, who is also an author and
parenting coach, will share the five things to put in
the toolkit, which could be incorporated into your
child’s lunchbox. She’ll discuss how common household
objects such as a Band-Aid and birthday candle can be
put to use for this powerful purpose. She is the author
of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal Class: The Key to
Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.” Contact her at
(604) 263-8751 (home) and (604) 720-2776 (mobile);

7. ==> This Neurologist Could Solve Football’s Concussion Problem
NFL, college and high school football are under attack.
All because of the high risk of concussions and the
resulting health consequences. But what if there was a
way to make concussions a thing of the past? Or at
least a way to diagnose and treat traumatic brain
injuries (TBI’s) more easily and quickly? Interview
Paul Wand, MD, PA, to hear about the “Wand Protocol”
that could do all that and more. He along with other
private practitioners have created ways to diagnosis
and treat concussions which if put into place could
save the NFL, as well as other sports where concussions
happen on a regular basis. Dr. Paul Wand has been a
medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology and is the author of “The Concussion Cure:
3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” Contact him at
(954) 743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com ?
8. ==> Just in Time for 2020 Political Paranoia: Conversation Crisis
When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
Today we find ourselves in an overly connected society
that ironically experiences very little real connection
between individuals. Why? “Much of this can be laid at
the doorstep of technology that reinforces our desire
for convenience (speed and availability) over true
connection – individual to individual – face to face,”
says Ivan Obolensky. Deterioration in the art of
communication can be seen not only across kitchen
tables but also on the national stage. You only have to
look as far as political debates and late-night pundits
to see how far we have fallen. Interview Ivan to find
out what your audience needs to know now to create
meaningful conversations (start by being curious and
interested instead of being interesting!) and what to
avoid at all costs (don’t commit “assumicide!”) Ivan
Obolensky is an author and a true Renaissance man in
his own right. He is the author of “Eye of the Moon.”

9. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business… and 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. John Smith is an author and 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 him at (214)

10. ==> Deceived: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You
Sometimes conventional medicine just doesn’t work.
Whether they have a chronic illness, auto-immune
disease or cancer, millions of people struggle to
simply manage their symptoms let alone cure the
illness. But Reena Jadhav says it’s possible to reverse
every disease… if you take back control of your health
and your body. A successful tech entrepreneur, Reena
spent years fighting colon cancer and a misdiagnosed
auto-immune illness. Now symptom-free and healthier

Pyramid she created during what became her 15 month
healing process. Reena is the author of several books
and the creator of HealthBootcamp.com, an online

11. ==> Take this Quiz: Are You Really Living in the Moment?
A lot of people think they’re living in the moment, but
Joffre McClung says many are actually sleepwalking
through life not realizing what they’re missing.
“Living in the moment is about being present in your
life, moving through the world consciously and with
purpose, and being aware of your behavior and its
impact on those around you,” explains the personal
growth expert and author. Take her quiz to discover
which areas of your life need waking up and get simple,
everyday tips to instantly become more present and feel
happier, less stressed and more focused. A former media

12. ==> September is National Self-Improvement Month: How to Be Better (Without Really Trying!)
Who wants to be told that they need to be better – that
they need to improve? No one! But it’s instinctively
something we know we need to hear… we DO need to be
better! Interview Jennifer Cochern, a seasoned
counselor who helps people understand who they are and
how they can be better. And it’s easier than you
think! She will tell your audience how to make the
most with what they’ve got… and more importantly how to
make it FUN! “Sometimes it’s as easy as saying no to
the people around you or finding a new hobby that gets
you out of the house and meeting new people,” says
Jennifer. “Self-Improvement can sometimes feel like
self-care!” Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a counselor and
the author of Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to
Clarity. She has worked with hundreds of clients

skills. Contact Jennifer at (208) 817-2870;

13. ==> Healing Emotional Pain in the #MeToo Era
The #MeToo movement has unearthed all kinds of painful
memories of sexual abuse, but what are the victims to
do once they’re faced with such raw and difficult
emotion again? Invite author, speaker, and personal
transformation expert Arnoux Goran to reveal how to
help victims fully and permanently recover from sexual
abuse, even if it happened for many years or through
many generations in their family. Goran has developed a
method to reprogram yourself that was studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and proven to be 100%
effective. His new book is “The Answer: How to Change
Your Life and Make Your Dreams Come True.” Ask him: Is
it really possible to escape the emotional scars of
sexual abuse? What are some of your most dramatic
stories of helping victims heal? Contact Arnoux Goran
at (878) 203-8231 (CA); AGoran@rtirguests.com
14. ==> Is Your Intimidation Threshold Holding You Back?
Are you working hard? Or working smart? Growing a
business can feel like a daunting task. What most
people don’t realize is that they aren’t focusing on
what will yield long-term success. It’s not what you
say or how you present. It’s not what you look like,
what you wear or your posture. The most critical
success factor you bring to the table is the inner
VALUE you represent. Founder of ThroughConversation
Personal Development Inc., Jean-Paul Gravel will
provide insight on how people perceive your real
“value.” Your audience will learn practical tools to
raise their value in the eyes of everyone around them.
He’ll take them through 3 simple steps which will
completely raise their confidence, conviction and
persuasiveness. Gravel spent 15 years showing people
from all walks of life (including high achievers,
entrepreneurs and pro athletes) how to unlock their
personal deep-seated power and potential. Contact Olga
Kniazeva at (604) 265-7469; JGravel@rtirguests.com
15. ==> Can Anyone Learn to be Happy?
Are some people just naturally unhappy or can anyone
learn to be more joyful? Jim Ryan believes—and his long
career attests—that happiness and joy are like muscles
that can be strengthened. Invite this upbeat expert on
your program to share the eight characteristics of
happy people that anyone can learn to incorporate into
their lives. He’ll also reveal how to avoid the traps
we fall into that lead to unhappiness—including
worrying about what other people think of us. Jim is
the author of “Simple Happiness, 52 Easy Ways to
Lighten Up” and a frequent media guest who gives
workshops on happiness all over the country, even
prisons. Ask him: Can other people really spoil our
happiness? What first steps should someone take if they
want to be happier? Can pessimists turn into optimists?

16. ==> Self-Hypnosis: The Antidote to Negativity and Anger
Achieving a positive mindset amid everything happening
today is no easy task. For some, it may even seem
impossible, but Mary Battaglia says there is a tool
that can help clear the mind, get unstuck and become
hopeful again. Battaglia, a certified clinical hypnosis
practitioner and sound practitioner, helps people
reduce stress, heal, clear blocks and tap into their
unlimited potential using self-hypnosis. She’ll explain
what hypnosis is and isn’t and share ways your
listeners can use hypnosis to reduce the amount of
anger they feel and overcome negative voices in their
heads. Battaglia has been featured on Fox News. Her
hypnosis tips are broadcast on Conversations with Joan,
a show heard on AM-970: The Answer and iHeartRadio.
“Transformation Through Hypnosis: Relax, Clear Your
Mind & Step into Your Power” is her latest book.

17. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Abortion Debate
As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current
changes to abortion laws, best-selling author Jane
Jenkins Herlong points out that one faction of society
is being completely over-looked: elderly people. “When
it comes to sanctity of life, we really need to focus
on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme abortion laws
from New York to Alabama are vastly different. This
also affects the elderly, who are not part of the
current discussion.” Jane can discuss what she learned
from caring for her own elderly mom, and why we need to
take greater measures to protect the elderly to ensure
that they live the remainder of their lives in safety,
comfort and dignity. She is a former Miss America
contestant and the award-winning author of four books
including Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops. In addition,
she has recorded music CDs and personal growth and
comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy is featured on
Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at JHerlong@rtirguests.com;
(803) 599-2941.
18. ==> Lady Rancher: How Women Can Wrangle Fulfilling Lives
Like many women over 40, Sandra Matheson found herself
at a daunting crossroads. She was divorced, unable to
continue her career as a veterinarian due to work-
related chemical sensitivities and stuck with a money-
losing farm. But she managed to turn lemons into
lemonade by focusing on rebuilding her farm, which
became a metaphor for her life. “Just as a farmer grows
crops, you can make the choice to grow your dreams
after 40,” she says. “The main focus has to be on
silencing your ‘inner critic.’ Growing your life will
take some work. However, the fruits of that harvest are
well worth it. ” Sandra is a co-host of Cowgirl Camps,
which teach women about farming and ranching, the next
of which is set for Aug. 26-30 in Cheney, Wash. She is
also the author of the upcoming book “Thrive After 40 ?
How to Seize the Life of Your Dreams!” Contact Sandra

19. ==> Here’s a Scientific Formula for a Success in Life
While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
become a first-time author of a well-received book that
reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven the existence of a power or force
beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within.” Contact
him at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.
20. ==> Why Donald Trump’s Third Marriage Will End, Bigly!
Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
disgraceful divorces. Pastor and marriage counselor
Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s 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 with 34 years of experience in Christian
ministries as a pastor, Christian counselor and life
coach. He is the author of “Preparing for and Fostering
Harmony in Marriage.” Contact Rev. George at
GSukhdeo@rtirguests.com; (647) 691-6042.
