1. ==> The Great Deportation of 2025 

A decade ago, the U.S. Congress was on the cusp of passing a bill that would have legalized most of the nearly 11 million unauthorized migrants living in the United States and put them on a path to citizenship. Now, come Jan. 20, the country is set to launch what will likely be the largest mass deportation effort in its history. Edward Alden says if Donald Trump does what he promises, he will reshape migration for generations to come. He says populist governments in other parts of the world will likely be emboldened to take more draconian measures as well. “Despite the political controversies, the United States has long been something of a model for embracing immigration. Mass deportation will send a far uglier message.” Edward Alden is a columnist at “Foreign Policy,” a visiting professor at Western Washington University, and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

2. ==> Why South Korea Should Go Nuclear

South Korea has long relied on the United States to keep the North Korean nuclear threat at bay. But Robert Kelly says the bomb is the best way the country can contain the threat from the north. “American opponents of South Korean nuclearization exaggerate the policy’s downsides, underappreciate its benefits, and ignore the United States’ own liberal values that call for Washington to tolerate a democratic partner’s national security choices, even when it dislikes them.” Kelly also believes a South Korean decision to nuclearize could, on balance, be good not just for South Korea but also for the United States. Robert E. Kelly is a professor in the Department of Political Science at Pusan National University. Contact him at robertkelly260@hotmail.com

3.==> Coldest Winter in Memory Gives Americans Frigophobia

This week’s Arctic blast feels like the punctuation mark to forecasters’ recent prediction of the coldest January since 2011. Bitter temperatures bring familiar dangers like frostbite, hypothermia and isolation, but Dr. Carole Lieberman says extreme weather events can trigger mental health issues like anxiety and frigophobia, or fear of the cold. Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman can provide insight into how fear of the cold can affect mental well-being, especially when people feel overwhelmed by weather-related anxiety. Ask her: What is frigophobia, and how does it differ from other anxiety disorders or specific phobias? How does the fear of cold weather affect a person’s daily life and routines? What self-help techniques or coping strategies can people use to manage their fear of cold weather in the short term? What tips can you give people struggling with the cold? Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H., is a board-certified psychiatrist, a forensic psychiatrist/expert witness and the author of several books. She frequently appears on major media outlets.

4.==> Why Did Brangelina’s Divorce Take So Long?

After eight years of divorce proceedings, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reached a settlement this past week. Details of their financial determinations and custody arrangements have not been disclosed. However, according to reports, all parties involved are ready to move on. New York City-based divorce attorney Jacqueline Newman can talk about why the split took so long, as well as how the divorce apparently affected the family. Newman is the managing partner at the matrimonial law firm Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein LLP. She’s the author of "The New Rules Of Divorce: 12 Secrets to Protecting Your Wealth, Health, and Happiness."  Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103

5. ==> Director of ‘Henry Danger: The Movie’

Veteran producer/director/writer Joe Menendez has directed multiple episodes of “Star Trek: Picard,” “Quantum Leap,” “12 Monkeys,” “From Dusk til Dawn: The Series” and “Snowpiercer” to name just a few. Now Joe introduces the original new film “Henry Danger: The Movie” based on Nickelodeon’s hit live-action series. “Henry Danger” first premiered on Nickelodeon in 2014 and followed the adventures of Henry Hart, a seemingly average high school teenager who navigates a double life as a superhero crimefighter. In the new movie, Henry encounters a superfan who possesses a device that can open alternate realities. Henry will need his best friend Jasper and his new superfan sidekick to find his way out or be stuck in an alternate dimension forever. Director Joe Menendez can discuss the new film and share his thoughts on entertainment fans’ appetites for superhero movies. Contact John Angelo at john@premieretv.com

6. ==> How Jimmy Carter Started America’s Conservative Slide

A national day of mourning will be observed on Thursday for Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at 100 years old. Invite David Gibbs, who has studied the Carter presidency for the past 15 years, to talk about his legacy and new evidence that shows America’s right turn in domestic and foreign policy really began during the Carter presidency, not — as is widely believed — during that of his successor, Ronald Reagan. “Evidence from newly opened archives show that Carter initiated the deregulation of U.S. industry and finance, reduced the power of organized labor, lowered taxes on business, and imposed austerity measures that intentionally raised unemployment among working people. Carter also augmented military spending for the first time in a decade, diverting resources from domestic programs, while increasing U.S. interventions overseas.” Gibbs says, “Carter should also be remembered for his support of racial justice and his many impressive achievements after he left the presidency. But we must not whitewash his central role in overturning FDR’s New Deal and concentrating wealth among the top 1 percent of the U.S. population.” Gibbs is a professor of history at the University of Arizona. He is the author of “Revolt of the Rich: How the Politics of the 1970s Widened America’s Class Divide.” Contact him at dgibbs@arizona.edu

8. ==> What Parents Need to Know About Artificial Intelligence

AI is already a big part of our day-to-day lives. Should we be concerned that our kids have easy access to this powerful resource? Quite the opposite, argues thought leader Marc Prensky. He sees artificial intelligence and cell phones as young people’s passports to the future and the new human capabilities they will use to better the world. Invite Prensky on your show to bust the myth that cell phones make kids lazy and explain why kids need to be taught the fundamental emotional skills of love, empathy, gratitude, and optimism. Prensky is the author of 12 books, most recently “Third Millenium Kids: A Hell Yes! Low Stress Guide for Everyone.” He’s also a public speaker who’s appeared in over 50 countries.

9. ==> ‘It Takes a Village’ is a Terrible Parenting Strategy 

According to Richard Ramos, the "it takes a village" concept is obsolete, irrelevant, and was meant for another time and culture. He says what it really takes to raise a child is good parenting. Ramos was working with at-risk youth when he realized that to truly help his students he needed to help their parents. That’s when he switched his focus and started Parents on a Mission, a mentoring program that teaches parents how to build healthy relationships with their children and transforms family dynamics. He’ll talk about parenting as a profession, meaning you go to parenting classes just like any good professional who wants to keep learning, growing, improving their skills and remain relevant.

11. ==> Do You Worship Like a Cat or a Dog? 

There’s a saying that dogs have masters and cats have staff. Gerald Robison says humans act the same in their relationships with God. Too many Christians say God is their master but they treat him like a staff member saying, "God do this, give me that and take care of this. Thanks, you can go now." Simple and humorous, but also profound, Robison’s take is easy-to-understand and fascinating to debate. The author of Cat and Dog Theology will share his fresh perspective and vision of our relationship to our master. He’ll take the dog vs cat debate to the next level and may even challenge what you think about salvation. Ask him: What is cat theology and why is it dangerous? How is a dog different?

14. ==> What It's Like to Fly into a War Zone? Interview a Woman Who Did
 
During her decades long career as a flight attendant, Tania Anderson has had her share of harrowing experiences during some of the most volatile times in modern history, and miraculously survived. "In 1990, I flew the military into Saudi Arabia (near the Kuwait border) only weeks after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait under possible SCUD poison missile attacks," she recounts. "In 2013, I flew military personnel and contractors into Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The base was surrounded by pro-Taliban guerrillas, who would sometimes shoot at planes taking off or landing."  Tania currently serves the U.S. military through a Department of Defense contract with a charter airline, which flies American soldiers around the world to every continent except Antarctica.  She is the author of the memoir "On Butterflies' Wings: An Anthology of International Escapades," and the upcoming "Synchronicity -- the Escapades Continue."

15. ==> How a Vietnam Veteran Found Closure Reading His Letters to Home

Since 1776, America has only known 17 years of peace, being involved in some kind of global conflict for 228 of the last 245 years. This has resulted in countless thousands of veterans who served a long way from home and suffered after they came back. Don Eggspuehler knows all about this: A Marine combat pilot who served in Vietnam, Don kept the promise he made to his mother and consistently wrote letters home. Six years after he returned stateside, Don compiled those letters so his dying mother could read them again. That’s when he realized that they were written as much for him as her. Don has recently published that compilation in his latest book “Letters to Mom.” By re-reading his accounts of everyday life in boot camp, in-country, and in combat, Don was able to find some closure for the survivor’s guilt he’d been struggling with since returning home. He believes that this kind of closure is available to many more combat veterans. In fact, this kind of journaling has long been recognized to help reduce anxiety and improve mental health.

There’s no sugarcoating the fact that achieving your goals – any goals – can sometimes be difficult, and New Year’s resolutions are no exception: Eighty percent of us give up on our resolutions by the second week in February. That’s why it’s important to be strategic. Most people say the main reason they procrastinate is because of fatigue; they’re just too tired. So, it only makes sense to set at least one resolution that will increase your energy, and we have decades of research to show us just how to do that: improve your habits around diet, sleep and exercise. Dr. Linda Gannaway is an expert at helping people stop procrastinating, achieve their goals, and establish new habits. She taught classes on procrastination for more than 20 years to thousands of university students. A former procrastinator herself, Linda also spent five years studying procrastination and wrote the most comprehensive book available: “FINALLY Stop Procrastinating.” Now she’s on a mission to help as many other procrastinators as she can. There are lots of reasons to feel hopeful – because of the latest findings in brain research, now even the most die-hard procrastinators can find techniques that will help them succeed.

1. ==> Is it Really the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?

If this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, why are we all so stressed out? According to a poll by the American Psychological Association, 90% of Americans are feeling joyous but overwhelmed this holiday season with concerns about not having enough money, missing loved ones and anticipating family conflict. While stress is common this time of year, 43% say the stress of the holidays interferes with their ability to enjoy them and 36% say the holidays feel like a competition. Dr. Carole Lieberman can discuss how financial stress can impact someone’s overall health and well-being, ways to manage expectations around the holidays and how upholding traditions can contribute to the mixed feelings of joy and stress during the holiday season. Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H. is a board-certified forensic psychiatrist and the author of several books. She has appeared on “Oprah,” the “Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” CNN, Fox News.

2. ==> Live Santa Tracker on Christmas Eve

On Tuesday, St. Nick is scheduled to load his sleigh with gifts, harness his reindeer and take to the skies for his annual journey across the globe, and there’s one government agency that will be following his every move … and you can too! The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the government agency that tracks everything that flies in and around North America in defense of our homeland, will track Santa Claus just as they have each year since 1955. Book an interview with a Santa Tracker to hear the unlikely story of how this modern tradition began with a child’s accidental phone call, why the agency continues to provide Santa’s flight updates more than 60 years later, and how the process has evolved to include social media and flight apps that allow you to track Santa on your phone! The folks at NORAD can provide video b-roll and graphics and arrange general interviews with a Santa Tracker or tailor the interview for your specific region.

5. ==> Public Health Outlook Under Trump

With the second Trump presidency looming, many experts are concerned about a host of emerging issues in public health, including immunization practices, biomedical research, federal funds, and fears about bird flu. Arthur Reingold, a professor of epidemiology who has dedicated his research to the prevention and control of infectious disease, says the academic public health and biomedical community is concerned based on the views that have been publicly made clear about RFK Jr., the incoming head of NIH, and the incoming CDC director. “These appointees are not a good omen for biomedical research funding,” he says. Reingold can also discuss concerns about bird flu in California. “Bird flu is here, but so far the impact on human health has thankfully been negligible. Nobody can predict whether that will continue to be the case or whether there will be catastrophic changes in the virus that create a pandemic that puts Covid to shame.” Arthur Reingold, MD, is a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health. He also serves on the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Contact him at reingold@berkeley.edu

8. ==> Why Talking Politics Gets Us So Heated, Even After Election Day

A majority of Americans were stressed before Election Day, and now post-election, emotions are still running high for many across the country. Experts say Americans with varying political views may be overcome with emotion in the wake of the election results, from pride and optimism to disappointment, frustration and even fear.

Author and nurse practitioner Susie Bell has been through hell and back. She was excommunicated from the Mormon Church, suffered the loss of a baby, went through a soul-wrenching divorce, was drugged, raped, and publicly harassed by a famous athlete, and struggled with substance abuse.

He also believes that animal-based industries are destroying the planet by largely contributing to climate change. "The world is eating itself into distinction," he adds.  "If people don't embrace vegetarianism and veganism on a massive scale, I am convinced that humans will be extinct by 2100." An experienced media guest, Richard is the author of "Vegan Revolution" and several other books. Contact Richard Schwartz at (914) 533-1949; rschwartz@rtirguests.com

15. ==> From Mt. Everest to a Solo Expedition in Antarctica: Interview This Pioneering Female Mountain Climber
 
After years of working as a top corporate executive, Siv Harstad experienced severe burnout. So she decided to climb new mountains, literally, by tackling the world's seven summits, the highest peak on all continents, including Mt. Everest and Kilimanjaro, and the highest volcanoes on all seven continents, totaling 33 expeditions. Ironically, she used to suffer from an acute fear of heights! Her experiences became a metaphor for tackling life's challenges, especially for women. "If I can manage to climb Mt. Everest, so many other people can do things that they have been dreaming about, especially women," she says. "More women than men hold themselves back, due to their upbringing and societal imprints."
