1.==> Hearings Reveal Trump’s Damage to National
Security
According to Brett Bruen, a former U.S. Diplomat who
served as Director of Global Engagement at the White
House, the impeachment hearings are giving Americans a
glimpse at the extensive damage Donald Trump has done
to our national security system, and Republicans are
trying to use that broken system to discredit and
undermine the officials who are testifying. “This
president is flying blind,” says Bruen. “I was struck
in listening to the testimony over the past week how
few of his advisers are consulted on major policy
decisions.” Bruen adds, “Our national security
officials now have little contact with an isolated and
erratic president. They don’t have clear guidance or
even a basic plan for how to execute our foreign
policy. Many of them are overly afraid for their jobs,
their colleagues and even their safety. It is
exceptionally hard to keep America safe when you’re in
the dark, alone and afraid.” Bruen served in the Ivory
Coast, Liberia, Guinea, Iraq, Venezuela, Argentina,
Zambia, and Eritrea. He serves as an adjunct faculty
member of the Federal Executive Institute, where he
trains senior U.S. Government leaders on strategy and
world affairs. He’s also president of the Global
Situation Room. Contact him at (703) 231-8285;

2. ==> American Diplomats: Unsung Heroes
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. Contact

3.==> Before You Click: Cyber Deal or Budget Buster?
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

4. ==> Rock’s Most Infamous Concert
On Dec. 6, 1969, Susan Shumsky was 21 years old and
part of the hippie, be-in generation championing peace
and love. That day, Susan found herself on the front
row of rock ‘n’ roll history as one of the 300,000 or
so young people at the Altamont Speedway to experience
a concert with The Rolling Stones that also featured
Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Flying Burrito
Brothers, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. As luck
would have it, Susan found herself near the stage at
the concert that would later be defined not for the
music but for the bad decision to use Hells Angels as
security who ended up killing one concertgoer and
beating up others. Bring Susan on your show to talk
about her memories of Altamont and the turbulent and
magnificent times that surrounded it. She is the award-
winning author of 17 books including “Maharishi & Me:
Seeking Enlightenment with the Beatles’ Guru.” She has
done over 1,000 media appearances. Contact her at (917)

5.==> Who Is Stealing 300K Entry-Level Jobs from
College Students?
If there were a program that sidelines American college
graduates in favor of foreign students that costs
American taxpayers nearly $3 billion you would expect
outrage. But, as Hilarie Gamm will explain, not only
does this program exist but it has yet to spark an
outcry despite rising U.S. student debt, stagnating
wages for U.S. workers and the erosion of college
graduates’ job prospects. It is also one of the reasons
50% of STEM graduates are not working in STEM. Gamm is
hoping your listeners will talk about this issue at
their Thanksgiving tables this year. Let her fill you
in on the Optional Practical Training Program including
how it has grown 400% in recent years and how it has
been seized upon by fake universities, labor mills and
other corrupt people, Today, less than 50% of STEM
graduates land a job working in that field. A media
favorite who recently appeared on Coast to Coast and
Breitbart News Tonight, Gamm is the author of Amazon
Best Seller: “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis
and The Road Map to Change.” A respected tech veteran,
working mother and patriot, she is successfully pushing
labor/immigration issues into the 2020 election
narrative through the continued efforts of AWC—the
group she co-founded with two other moms. Contact her

6. ==> The Stranger at Your Dinner Table: College Kids
Are Back!
It’s finally here! That magical reunion you’ve been
dreaming about since you dropped your student off at
college back in August. You’ve been waiting for the
holidays to reconnect with them and your expectations
are at an all-time high! “Many parents are shocked at
how badly that first reunion goes with their student!
What they don’t realize is that their child is
different—and very likely, so are they—so communication
skills need to shift!!” say Tom and Lindy Schneider,
also known as America’s College Advisors. Ask Tom and
Lindy how to be better prepared for that first visit
home, from keeping expectations realistic to quick and
easy conversation starters, all guaranteed to get
students talking and engaged. Lindy and Tom are
professional college advisors who have been featured on
ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, the CW and Inside Edition. Contact

7. ==> 35th Anniversary of ‘Do They Know It’s
Christmas?’
On November 25, 1984, some of the biggest British and
Irish artists in music gathered to record the song ‘Do
They Know It’s Christmas?’ to help famine victims in
Ethiopia. The single reached number one in 14 countries
and raised £8 million within a year. This led to other
charitable endeavors such as the LiveAid concert, which
raised a reported £150 million, and USA for Africa’s
single “We Are the World,” which raised $63 million.
Despite these huge global humanitarian efforts, has
life in the affected region improved? Invite author and
speaker Sylvanus Ayeni to discuss the long-term impacts
of charity on Sub-Saharan Africa and whether it has
improved conditions for people there. Ayeni, a retired
neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and raised
in Nigeria. His latest book, “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Dr. Ayeni is the president of
Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact
him at (301) 910-1020 (MD); stoksayeni777@gmail.com
8. ==> What Wine Goes with Turducken?
Thanksgiving is all about the food, but there are also
libations to consider. And choosing wine can be
intimidating—just ask anyone who has spent too much
time in the local wine shop trying to decide what to
buy to please their guests, or to impress the folks on
their shopping list. Give your audience their own
personal wine guide, and a fun, informative romp—
without the usual snobbery—through
the wonderful world of wine when you invite Jim
Laughren on your show. You’ll learn how to avoid the
most common wine mistakes a host can make, the secret
to choosing a wine gift and where to find
wine bargains. You’ll also learn how to inexpensively
add a touch of elegance to end any holiday meal. Jim
Laughren is a Certified Wine Educator and the author of
“50 Ways to Love Wine More: Adventures in Wine
Appreciation.” Contact him at (954) 661-4546;

9. ==> Welcome to National Eating Season
Most Americans are resigned to packing on the pounds
during this time of the year, what expert weight-loss
coach Eli Glaser calls “National Eating Season.”
Starting with Thanksgiving and winding through New
Year’s and then into Super Bowl Sunday, we are entering
the most eating-centric time of the year! Invite Eli to
inspire your audience to take a whole new approach to
eating. He’ll offer tools you can use to enjoy special
occasions without having to over-indulge and be left
with the bitter taste of regret and remorse. Eli will
share his amazing personal story of maintaining a 130-
pound weight loss for more than 15 years and how he has
helped thousands of people around the world to not
merely lose weight, but achieve long-term success by
transforming their relationship with food. Eli Glaser
is the author of “Enough is Enough.” He also offers a
home-study course. Contact him at (732) 578-8800;

10. ==> How to Say Thanks (You’re Welcome!)
Did you know that gratitude is good for you? People
who practice the art of gratitude are healthier,
happier, live longer, work better and are more
successful. “Many studies out there have been saying
all along that learning how to intentionally practice
gratitude is good for us,” says Dr. Michael McGee.
“Learning how to be truly grateful across the board is
one of the easiest and FASTEST ways to jumpstart and
improve your life!” Learn how to see, celebrate, speak
and savor your way into a new grateful way of living!
Dr. Michael McGee is the author of “The Joy of

11. ==> The 3 Biggest Myths about Forgiveness
Is there someone in your life—a parent, former spouse,
child, friend or perhaps even yourself—whom you believe
you should forgive but cannot? Jeanne Sanner explains
why forgiveness can be so difficult. She says,
“Forgiving isn’t something we can do; forgiveness is
the result of what we stop doing.” Jeanne can share a
simple formula she created that has already helped
hundreds of people change their beliefs to lead happier
lives. She is the author of “Finding Unconditional Love
a Little Peace at a Time.” She has a doctorate in

14. ==> Doc Says He Could Have Saved Prince, Elvis and
MJ
As a physician who specializes in opioid addiction
treatment, Dr. Isaac Alexis is especially frustrated by
the epidemic number of high-profile celebrity
overdoses, which he says he could have prevented. “If I
had been given 30 seconds, I could have saved Prince,”
says Dr. Isaac. He’ll share his simple but powerful
approach to treating addiction. “It’s not just about
treating the addict,” he says. “It’s about treating
their environments and families. We have to treat the
addict as a human being.” 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

15. ==> The Dark Secrets about Human Trafficking
The world was rocked when billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
was charged and jailed for human trafficking, and then
allegedly committed suicide while behind bars. What
was truly shocking was that he got away with these
heinous crimes for years. Raleigh Sadler, a Christian
reverend and founder of the human trafficking awareness
group Let My People Go, says the situation is far more
complicated and insidious than most people know. “Human
trafficking is far more prevalent than the general
public realizes, and it can affect virtually any
community.” Raleigh says a general lack of awareness is
part of the problem, as well as the absence of accurate
information and the abuse of power by powerful people.
He is the author of “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human
Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at
RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758.
16. ==> December 3rd is National Day of Giving
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! Contact David Kottler at (216)

17. ==> 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. Pet is the founder of lovingmenow.org. His
course is completely free and is designed to teach you
to become a much more loving person. Contact Dr. Donald
Pet at (860) 324-9991; ddpet@comcast.net
18. ==> Beauty Pageants Have Evolved for the Better
Beauty pageants traditionally were all about physical
appearances, and the participants were often portrayed
as vapid Barbie Dolls. But not anymore. “Accomplished
women are expected to be intelligent, skilled, poised
and attractive today which is reflected in media, and
even ‘beauty’ pageants,” says director/filmmaker and
author Kailin Gow. “Being strong is being beautiful.
This is being reflected in the Miss America Pageant’s
elimination of the swimsuit competition, transgender
pageants, the Miss Amazing Pageant for disabled women
and other, non-traditional celebrations of women that
go beyond focusing on mere physical beauty.” Kailin has
written hundreds of Young Adult books. She’s also a
director/filmmaker and the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.
She is also the author of “Raising a Strong Daughter:
What Fathers Should Know.” Contact Kailin at
KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.
19. ==> How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Kids
Here’s the truth: children are not small adults… they
don’t think or act like adults… and they’re not
supposed to. So, as parents, don’t drive yourself
bonkers trying to make such behavior happen. Rather, as
parents responsible for guiding youth toward becoming
adults, let’s first help our kids become happy,
responsible, and emotionally healthy young people
(especially during the school season. That’s the
message of Paul Bernabei, author of “Top 20 Parents”
and four other books on human development. Interview
Paul to discover practical, essential strategies for
managing challenges of the parenting journey. Invite
listeners to call-in with their questions and parenting
insights/concerns. Contact Paul Bernabei at (651)

20. ==> How Domestic Violence Affects All of Us
Domestic violence doesn’t just affect victims and their
families. According to domestic violence awareness
advocate Curt Lindsley, “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.” Curt founded the nonprofit domestic violence
awareness group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go Purple
Awareness Day (Oct. 1), and co-founded the Covington
Domestic Violence Task Force. He’ll share how
individuals, houses of worship, companies,
organizations and community groups can sponsor
awareness events such as Go Purple Day, Purple Light
Nights, educational programs and advocacy outreach to
help put an end to domestic violence once and for all.
