1.==> Will US Recognition of Settlements Harm Israel?

According to Michal Koplow, Donald Trump’s decision to
reverse a four-decade-old State Department legal
opinion on settlements in the West Bank was hardly
surprising. But the policy director of the Israel
Policy Forum believes the administration’s disdain for
international consensus on the issue will encourage
previously cautious governments to support BDS and
Palestinian statehood. Koplow argues if Israel and the
United States successfully argue that international
consensus is irrelevant, there will be nothing left to
dissuade countries from unilaterally recognizing a
sovereign state of Palestine on the 1949 armistice
lines. Koplow’s work regularly appears in Foreign Affairs,
Foreign Policy, the Atlantic, and the Forward, among
other publications. In addition to a Ph.D. from
Georgetown University he holds a B.A. from Brandeis
University, a J.D. from New York University, and an
A.M. in Middle Eastern Studies from Harvard University.

2. ==> Black Hawk Down Legend On PTSD & More

Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Tom Satterly is one of
America’s most highly-decorated soldiers. Depicted in
the 2001 Oscar-winning film, Black Hawk Down, Satterly
led hundreds of critical military campaigns, including
Operation Red Dawn, which led to the capture of Saddam
Hussein. For 20+ years a member of Delta Force—the most
elite and secretive special operations force in all of
the US military—he was the recipient of 64 medals,
including five Bronze Stars and two for Valorous Acts.
But the military hero says when he finally got back
home he struggled to reclaim a life. He details his and
other veterans’ desperate attempts to overcome PTSD,
addiction and other mental health issues in his new
book “All Secure: A Delta Force Operator’s Fight to
Survive on the Battlefield and the Homefront.” Contact

3. ==> Why Giving Thanks is So Good

We contemplate our blessings on Thanksgiving Day each
year, but that’s just one day in November. What about
the rest of the year? Is it difficult to feel thankful
all year long and can it really improve your outlook?
Invite screenwriter, author, TV/film producer,
journalist, and TV host Maryann Ridini Spencer to
discuss why gratitude is important for personal health
and wellbeing, how it improves your relationships, and
ways it can help support and heal you through life’s
tough times and transitions. In her novel “Lady in the
Window” and the upcoming “The Paradise Table,” Spencer
writes about overcoming loss and how to find happiness
in life through gratitude, family, friendships, and
community. Her work has appeared on Hallmark Hall of
Fame (CBS-TV), the Hallmark Channel, CNN, USA, SyFy,
Showtime, PBS, and many other media outlets. Contact

4. ==> Why 300K College Grads Aren’t Bringing Home the
Turkey

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 “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

5. ==> Break the Rules: 5 Tips to Make the Holidays Fun Again!

Thanksgiving is just the start to the holiday season,
so how come you’re feeling overwhelmed already? When
did the season of joy start feeling like a marathon to
be endured? The obligations, expectations and expense!
Invite Joffre McClung to help your listeners rediscover
their holiday happiness by sharing 5 tips that will
help them reclaim their holiday spirit. She’ll discuss
what to do when family traditions become outdated or
burdensome, when it’s not only ok but necessary to say
no, and why the best gift you give this season will
make YOU feel like a million bucks and won’t cost you a
dime. McClung, a personal growth expert and author
says, “Let go of something–hosting dinner, opening
gifts or eating dinner at a certain time of day–just
because that’s how you’ve always done it. Let go of
what was and do what feels right for you NOW.” A former
media producer and independent filmmaker, Joffre
McClung has appeared on dozens of radio and TV
programs. Her latest book is “The Heart of the Matter.”

6. ==> Pass the Gravy and Share Stories this Thanksgiving

Families and friends will be getting together this week
to celebrate and give thanks, and Peggy Sideratos says
the holiday is the perfect opportunity for everyone
around the table, especially the kids, to feel a little
closer and more connected by sharing stories.
Sideratos, a former school teacher, says boosting
children’s social educational learning abilities (SEL)
is especially important today. “We live in a world
where kids and teens are dealing with depression,
anxiety, cutting, eating disorders, bullying, school
shootings and suicide rates at an alarming level. The
brokenness is escalating. Our children are hurting and
we have to do something about it,” Sideratos says.
She’ll explain why storytelling is so effective in
communicating with kids, ways Thanksgiving can be a
natural opportunity to share stories and even provide
tips on getting the conversation started! Peggy

top? Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and the
world’s #1 expert in personal transformation, to reveal
proven techniques to keep your cool and prevent family
drama from getting out of hand. He’ll discuss common

8. ==> Who Gets the Kids? Blended Family Feuds

Holidays can quickly go from magical to mayhem when
families fight over who gets the kids for holiday meals
and celebrations. Cindy Cipriani says the best gift
parents can give their children is to put them first by
cooperating with a fair visitation arrangement for
holidays. A blended family life specialist, Cipriani
can discuss strategies to negotiate a peaceful
schedule, what to do when the situation gets heated and
when to bring in a third party to help find a solution.

9. ==> Stuffing is for Turkeys: Feast Without Overindulging

The endless temptation of delicious holiday food can
break the diet of even the most committed healthy
eater. Is there any way to enjoy holiday meals without
overindulging? Invite physician Dr. Ed Dodge to share
easy tips to join the festivities without eating too
much and falling off the wagon and which foods can help
you feel full without loading you up with fat and
sodium. His latest book “Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir

childhood in the wilds of Africa where he enjoyed
exotic fruits and ate antelope and buffalo, to
experiencing culture shock as a teen returning to the
US. After becoming a physician, he returned to Africa
to work, and later to volunteer. Dr. Dodge hosted

10. ==> Holidays are Tough for Addicts’ Families and Friends

1 out of 3 people suffers from an addiction of some
sort and the holidays – from Thanksgiving through New
Year’s – are full of stressful situations AND ample
opportunities to imbibe. Michael McGee, M.D. says the
combination can be especially explosive and
uncomfortable at family gatherings and work functions!
Invite Dr. McGee to share 5 tips to deal with everyone
from an obnoxious drunken uncle to a flirtatious and
inappropriate coworker. He’ll help your audience
navigate the uncomfortable experience in the moment,
whether at home or at the office holiday party, and
share ways you can (and can’t) help an addict accept
treatment and recover. Dr. Michael McGee trained at
Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools and has helped

11. ==> The Case for Making Thanksgiving a Season

Immediately after Halloween, most retail stores begin
to decorate for Christmas and play carols. When one
store manager was confronted with the observation that
“It isn’t even Thanksgiving,” she justified her actions
with “Thanksgiving is just a day. Christmas is a whole
season!” Bary Fleet thinks we have things backwards:
Thanksgiving should be a season-long celebration and
Christmas should last one day. Fleet, a retired
minister and psychologist, will share with your
audience why lives based on getting and giving material
possessions are a recipe for depression. He’ll discuss
little things we can do every day to cultivate and
express a mentality of thanksgiving and why gratitude
correlates with better emotional health and fewer
visits to the doctor. Bary Fleet is the author of “Move
into Your Magnificence: 101 Invitations to a Life of
Passion and Joy.” Contact him at (410) 301-8240;

12. ==> Madam President: Life with a Woman in the White House

With several female candidates running for president
and the possibility that Nancy Pelosi could become
president if both the president and vice president were
impeached, it’s time to consider what life might be
like under the administration of the USA’s first female
president. Lorri Craig, a Certified Financial Planner,
developer of the Wake the Warrior Woman program and
author of an upcoming book on female economic
empowerment, has some intriguing perspectives. Bring
her on-air to discuss what the country is likely to
gain economically, socially and militarily by electing
a qualified woman for president and ways so-called
feminine values would change the U.S.’s standing in the
world. She’ll back her comments up with facts including
statistics on how corporations with the most women on
their board of directors outperform those with the
fewest. Contact her at (484) 453-1742;
LCraig@rtirguests.com

13. ==> Career Advice Based On Your Personality

Countless people in your audience have big career
dreams: starting a business, changing careers, or
introducing satisfying new developments in their
current jobs. Others may not yet know what they want,
often only what they don’t want. Sadly, the majority of
people won’t even take the first critical steps to
clarify their goals. Watch ratings rise when you
interview Sarah E. Brown, Ph.D., who has already helped
thousands of people define success based upon their
unique interests, strengths and needs. Sarah will
discuss her 5-step business coaching model and must-
know secrets. You’ll learn how to finally clarify what
you want, the importance of getting started even when
you don’t have all the answers (and without going
bankrupt,) and whether it’s wise to give up your
current job. Dr. Brown will also share special advice
for entrepreneurs. Sarah is the author of “Let Your
Personality Be Your Career Guide.” Contact her at (302)

14. ==> Pain Relief — Using Skills Not Pills

It’s almost daily that we hear of opioid
controversies, addictions and even painkiller-related
deaths. There is an epidemic of pain worldwide and
people are desperate to find help and relief. Now, as
colder weather heightens pain and discomfort and
people want to feel better for the holiday season,
it’s an ideal time to interview Maggie Phillips,
Ph.D., pain relief expert/trainer and author of
“Freedom from Pain” and “Reversing Chronic Pain.” Dr.
Phillips will explore the good news about effective
alternative healing methods. Ask her about the value
of diet and exercise, spiritual practices, drug-free
supplements, meditation, hypnosis, lifestyle changes
and other ways to build healing pathways. She’ll also
discuss why other nations are far ahead of the U.S.
when it comes to using “skills-not-pills” to thwart
pain and trauma without side-effects. Open-up your
phone lines for pain sufferers to ask questions and
discuss what challenges them most! Contact Dr.
Phillips at (510) 561-1645; mphillips@rtirguests.com

15. ==> This Dr. Hu is as Cool as Dr. Who

As you may know, Dr. Who is a cult-classic TV show
about a geeky, problem-solving time-travel lord. Dr.
Junling Hu, is perhaps just as geeky and loving of
everything futuristic including robots and artificial
intelligence. While Dr. Who is not real, Dr. Hu is and
she is available for interview in her area of
expertise: AI. You can ask her: Should AI scare us?
Will it take our jobs? How will it help us? Can we
create robots that think like human brains do? What do

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow
up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to
become men due to that lack of a role model. We need
programs where men help them to learn manhood. It will
impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of
trouble.” Pastor Eric will discuss The Gentleman’s Club
launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher
Raymond Nelson, a program for boys that helps to
instill confidence, self-respect and respect for others
and share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help
them to become great men. A second-generation pastor of
Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas,
Eric Hawthorne is author of the upcoming “Are You Ready
for Marriage?” Contact Eric at

18. ==> From Worst Housing Project to Patriot and Doctor

When he was growing up in one of the worst housing
projects in Los Angeles, few people would have
predicted that Christopher L. Hall would be a role
model and inspiration. It was more likely that he would
end up like his father, who was in jail, or his
brother, a seven-time felon now serving a 1,300-year
sentence for attempted murder. Hall, who is now an ER
doctor in Mississippi, is living proof that poor kids
and kids in foster care and juvenile hall are not
destined for failure and low educational achievement.
He will share his powerful journey of how he went from
juvenile hall and sleeping in a box at a Carl’s Jr. to
dental school, medical school and the military. His
story and that of his brother’s is detailed in his
memoir “Ward of the Court.” Contact Hall at (251)

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;
@BrettBruen or @GlobalSitRoom

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,

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

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

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.”

Year’s and then into Super Bowl Sunday, we are entering
the most eating-centric time of the year! Invite Eli to

pound weight loss for more than 15 years and how he has

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

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

New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical
director at the Department of Justice as well as

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.

1.==> The Psychological Toll of Impeachment Hearings

The Trump impeachment hearings will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on history and reverberate far from Capitol Hill. But what impact will the wall-to-wall coverage of the proceedings have on the psyche of Americans? Invite mental health expert Gregory Jantz, Ph.D., to discuss whether the hearings will have a negative effect on the collective mental state of Americans regardless of their political affiliations, why the country has become such a hostile and volatile place, and how we can return to civil discourse. Dr. Jantz is a world-recognized expert and innovator in the treatment of behavioral disorders and addictions. He started The Center – A Place of HOPE, a treatment and recovery center and is the author of 39 books.

2. ==> American Diplomats: Who Are They? What Do They Do?

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.

3. ==> Erdogan Finds Sanctuary in Trump White House

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in Washington this week and while he doesn’t have many DC fans, he does have an ally in the White House. Arron David Miller says Oval Office discussions may cover some difficult terrain (especially on Turkey’s purchase of a S-400 Russian air defense system), but Trump has long had a soft spot for Erdogan that all but guarantees the relationship will endure. Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is the author of “The End of Greatness: Why America Can’t Have (and Doesn’t Want) Another Great President.” He served as a Middle East negotiator in Democratic and Republican administrations.

4.==> Inside Edition’s Megan Alexander

Inside Edition correspondent Megan Alexander’s new kid’s book, “One More Hug” was inspired by her oldest son who experienced anxiety getting on the school bus and kept running back for “one more hug.” Megan says the story centers on kids’ worries and fears and the importance of parents’ reassurance that the feelings are normal, and OK to talk about. Megan also recorded a song she co-wrote with country music singer Lucas Hoge called “One More.” Megan Alexander is a national news correspondent, author, speaker and actress. She can be seen every evening as a correspondent on the syndicated TV show Inside Edition. Contact Aaron Crisler at (615) 474-8673; aaron@conduitmedia.biz

5. ==> Beware Black Friday Sales – $$ Saving Holiday Shopping Tips

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 (260) 403-0137; antrimtina@gmail.com

Invite Arnoux Goran, author, speaker, and an expert in personal transformation, to reveal proven techniques to keep your cool and prevent family drama from getting out of hand this holiday season. He’ll discuss the common triggers that set people off and how to remain calm when family members try to push your buttons.

7. ==> Homeless and the Holidays: Could that Homeless Person Be Someone You Know?

As we begin the holiday season our thoughts often turn to the homeless. The season makes us think of the less fortunate – who are they and what can we do to help? What would you do if your mother was homeless and refused to be helped? Marty Vargas will share his story of finding his estranged birth mother 20 years after the pair were discovered sleeping in the snow in Philadelphia. Your listeners will be amazed as they hear the stranger-than-fiction real-life drama that unfolded amid the increasingly complicated search.

His incredible true story has been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC Philadelphia and Fox News Washington, DC. and has been featured on over 90 stations around the country.

8. ==> Whistleblowing: Is it Always Ethical? (Or Truthful?)

What does it take to be a whistleblower? How do you know when to blow? In today’s world of grey – where right and wrong can appear blurry and the truth becomes subjective – what does it mean to be ‘ethical’ in business and in life? 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. “At the beginning of the FBI task force investigation, I gave them truth and honesty. I never lied about anything. Truth and integrity would eventually be my way up and out. They chose me over all other defendants, suspects and lawyers. They relied on my ethics and integrity. In the end this saved me.” John Smith is a speaker and author of “Embracing the Abyss” which chronicles his true story of unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and receiving a presidential pardon.

14. ==> From Worst Housing Project to Patriot and Doctor

When he was growing up in one of the worst housing projects in Los Angeles, few people would have predicted that Christopher Hall would be a role model and inspiration. It was more likely that he would end up like his father, who was in jail, or his brother, a seven-time felon now serving a 1,300-year sentence for attempted murder. Hall, who is now an ER doctor in Mississippi, is living proof that poor kids and kids in foster care and juvenile hall are not destined for failure and low educational achievement.

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to become men due to that lack of a role model. We need programs where men help them to learn manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor Eric will discuss The Gentleman’s Club launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher Raymond Nelson, a program for boys that helps to instill confidence, self-respect and respect for others and share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help them to become great men.

20. ==> Why You Shouldn’t Punish Your Kids

Parenting is one of the most important jobs anyone will ever have. But is it possible to raise a child to be a productive, independent adult without ever having to spank or take away that child’s privileges? Absolutely, says media veteran and child-rearing expert Emily Slingluff, who wrote the book on the topic, “Parenting without Punishment.” Emily will explain why there is never a reason to punish children. Good parent-child communication works so much better. Moreover, punishing children teaches them mean and uncomfortable behavior. It is even possible that it will lead to insecurity, confusion, depression, and unhappiness with life. She studied psychology and has a degree in government and economics from Sweet Briar College and was an assistant editor at The Virginia-Pilot.

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

Year’s and then into Super Bowl Sunday, we are entering
the most eating-centric time of the year! Invite Eli to

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

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

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

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.

2. ==> What Would America Be Like with a Woman
President?

With several female candidates running for president
and the possibility that Nancy Pelosi could become
president if both the president and vice president were
impeached, it’s time to consider what life might be
like under the administration of the USA’s first female
president. Lorri Craig, a Certified Financial Planner,
developer of the Wake the Warrior Woman program and
author of an upcoming book on female economic
empowerment, has some intriguing perspectives. Bring
her on-air to discuss what the country is likely to
gain economically, socially and militarily by electing
a qualified woman for president and ways so-called
feminine values would change the U.S.’s standing in the
world. She’ll back her comments up with facts including
statistics on how corporations with the most women on
their board of directors outperform those with the
fewest. Contact her at (484) 453-1742;
LCraig@rtirguests.com

3. ==> New Documentary Film – The Girl Who Cannot Speak

The Girl Who Cannot Speak, a new documentary film that
follows five women’s true stories of sexual abuse, is
screening this month in several cities nationwide. “We
began this project by meeting with women from all
different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life. The
level of sincerity, depth, and trust that is cultivated
in this documentary is nothing short of impressive,”
says co-director Stefano Da Fre. Each woman has been
involved with the Lenox Hill Women’s Shelter in New
York city. Invite Da Fre and co-director Laura
Pellegrin to discuss the film and how it’s being
received across the country in the midst of the current
#MeToo movement. Contact Mark Goldman at (516) 639-0988

4.==> How November Became the Month of the Mustache

If you’ve ever wanted to grow a mustache there’s no
better time than November. Or Movember, as it’s
popularly known, a month-long mustache-growing charity
event to raise awareness and funds for men’s health
issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer and
men’s suicide. The charity is global, but there are
events all across the US. Find out what’s happening
near you, how your listeners can take part, and how the
campaign is impacting local communities and changing
the conversation about men’s health. The Movember
foundation currently funds 1,250 plus health projects
all over the world. For an interview with a Movember
spokesperson or a participant in your area contact
Sheryl Tirol at sheryl.tirol@movember.com

5. ==> Wednesday is Stress Awareness Day

Feeling a little stressed out? Think it’s too much
“stuff” on your plate? Well, maybe it’s not the “stuff”
that’s stressing you out, but the people in your life!
“Many people who feel overly stressed are actually
feeling stressed by all the people they need to please.
Learning how to set good boundaries, especially with
the holidays approaching, can really help!” says
Jennifer Cochern, LCPC. Interview Jennifer to find out
what’s behind all this stress and how to pinpoint your
triggers ahead of time. Some people love the holidays –
it energizes them. But for many the idea of having to
plan their lives 6 weeks (or more) ahead of time
doesn’t feel mindful, it feels manipulative! Many
people think they don’t have a choice around the
holidays – but they DO. Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a

Internal Chaos to Clarity.” Contact her at (208)

6. ==> Why Socialism Is Bad for America

There is a serious debate in the U.S. about whether
capitalism or socialism is truly better for the well-
being of the country. For example, are we better off
with the for-profit health-care system we already have
or with government-funded Medicare for All? Do we need
a New Green Deal or can climate change problems be
solved by the private sector? F. Patrick Cunnane will
point out that every time socialism has been attempted
it fails but because no one has been able to explain
why it is unworkable the idea keeps resurfacing. Your
audience will benefit by hearing his easy to understand
explanation of why capitalism is better than
socialism—including better for the environment. Cunnane
is the author of “The Physics to Economics Model.” An
experienced talk show guest, he has been a corporate
asset manager for more than 30 years. Contact him at

7. ==> How the War on Drugs Created a War on Us

While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good
idea at one time, the consequences have been
catastrophic. One in three adults in the US now have a
criminal record, primarily for drug possession. Parents
grieve the loss of their children from overdose and
mass incarceration. And patients with severe illness or
chronic pain are denied access to proven pain
medications. Lawyer and expert on drug policy and
criminal justice reform Colleen Cowles can discuss the
myths about addiction that have fueled the overdose
epidemic as well as ways to transform the punitive war
on drugs into compassionate and effective policy.
Colleen Cowles, J.D., is the author of “War on Us: How
the War on Drugs and Myths about Addiction Have Created
a War on All of Us.” She is a speaker and frequent
radio and TV guest expert on topics related to criminal
justice reform, drug policy, and substance abuse.

8. ==> Incompetent, Reckless, Smug — Does That Spell
the IRS?

It’s one thing to hate and even fear the powerful
entity that takes a sizable chunk of your hard-earned
money. But according to tax expert Richard Green — who
used to be one of the Internal Revenue Service’s own —
it’s the abuses and pompous approach of the IRS that
should get you really angry. Find out more from this
former agent, who contends that we should be talking
about (and opposing!) the recklessness of the IRS year-
round. As your guest, Green will explore: disparaging
reports and Congressional investigations on the IRS we
hear about every month … whether most audits are UNFAIR
to taxpayers … stark realities about the slow-moving
IRS staff and antiquated technology causing chaos and
wastefulness nationwide … why it’s only getting worse,
and what you can do. Only someone like Green, who’s
seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the IRS
mess! Richard Green has authored “Agents of Deceit.”

9. ==> Green Acres … in Real Life

Remember the classic TV show comedy Green Acres
starring Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor as two city
slickers who traded in their luxurious lifestyle for
life on the farm? The one where Albert sings, “Farm
living is the life for me!” in the theme song? That
show still streams on Amazon but for Mike Galloway and
his wife Erin it is much more—it closely resembles
their own life story. For an entertaining and
informative show, interview Mike, a former syndicated
radio host and executive, and Erin, an advertising
executive, who left the city to help run Erin’s
stepfather’s cattle ranch in Northeastern Wyoming after
he became ill. Mike and Erin can talk about switching
gears and the challenges of managing a ranch and
raising three children away from their East Coast
roots. They are the creators of the largest YouTube and
social media brand in Wyoming, Our Wyoming Life.

10. ==> Renowned Spine Surgeon: Eliminate Back Pain
Without Opioids

Back pain affects more people in the U.S. than
diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. It is one
of the country’s greatest health problems and has
played a key role in the opioid crisis that has claimed
thousands of unsuspecting victims in the prime of their
lives. Invite Thomas J. Kleeman, M.D to reveal 5 myths
about back pain even doctors don’t know, why conquering
back pain is like climbing a mountain, and how pain
develops and why it’s so difficult to treat. You’ll
also learn where and when surgery fits into the
treatment options for back pain. Thomas J. Kleeman,
M.D., is a board-certified, fellowship-trained
orthopedic surgeon known internationally for his
pioneering work on laparoscopic spine surgery. During
the month of November, he’ll donate 100% of the
proceeds from his new book “Release Yourself from Back
Pain Without Opioids: The Truth Behind the Cause and
the Cure for Low Back Pain” to Shatter Proof, a
nonprofit that combats addiction. Contact him at (603)

11. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky wrote the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band” with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

12. ==> How to Be a Bad-Ass Entrepreneur

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

know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Dr. Nelie Johnson, initiator of the Forum “It’s Time to

16. ==> How Single Dads Can Raise Boys to be Gentlemen

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow
up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to
become men due to that lack of a role model. We need
programs where men help them to learn manhood. It will
impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of
trouble.” Pastor Eric will discuss The Gentleman’s Club
launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher
Raymond Nelson, a program for boys that helps to
instill confidence, self-respect and respect for others
and share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help
them to become great men. A second-generation pastor of
Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas,
Eric Hawthorne is author of the upcoming “Are You Ready
for Marriage?” Contact Eric at

17. ==> It’s Never Too Late to Be a Cowgirl

After turning 40, Sandra Matheson found herself at a
daunting crossroads in her life. 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 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.’” Sandra is a co-host of New Cowgirl
Camps, which teach women about farming and ranching,

18. ==> How to Protect Kids from EMF

Electromagnetic radiation from cellphone towers,
cellphones, and other electronic appliances is
everywhere. Although there have been more than 10,000
global scientific studies done on the health impacts of
EMFs, most of us remain blissfully unaware of the
dangers. So what do parents need to do to protect their
children? For the answer, interview Beverly Jensen,
Ph.D. Dr. Jensen will discuss actions to take to reduce
electromagnetic radiation in your home to protect
yourself and your children and discuss whether that

19. ==> The Abuser Next Door: 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.

1. ==> ISIS Revenge Attacks Are Likely

The killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi is a big win for America and humanity, but Tom
Rogan of the Washington Examiner warns ISIS will remain
a potent threat and seek short-term revenge. “Even as
ISIS’ new leader — who may have to fight colleagues to
attain his dominion — struggles to assume authority as
Baghdadi’s replacement, the group’s operations officers
will seek short-term retribution,” writes Rogan. “This
threat, both directed and inspired in nature, should
not be discounted as idle.” He adds, “A revenge attack
may not follow. But western security services will
operate intense shift schedules for the next two
weeks.” Tom Rogan writes foreign policy focused
commentary for the Washington Examiner. He’s written
for the National Review, The Telegraph, and The
Guardian and regularly appears on Fox and other media
outlets. Contact him at TRogan@WashingtonExaminer.com;
TJRogan@protonmail.com or @TomRtweets

2. ==> The Problem with ‘Sexy Mr. Rogers’ Costume

Have you seen the ‘Sexy Mr. Rogers’ Halloween costume
that swaps his trademark red sweater and khakis for a
plunging v-neckline, exposed midriff, and booty shorts?
Stuart Charmé says, “It amazes me time and again that,
despite this post-#MeToo moment, when gender equality
is increasingly championed, Halloween remains a holiday
when commercial costume makers emphasize traditional
gender roles for children and the sexualization of
women.” Charme says Halloween is a much different
experience for girls than for boys. “Boys’ costumes
offer extensive choices and possibilities for instant
muscles and superhuman powers. Not so much for girls.
Their limited options usually include extra ruffles and
ribbons for younger children, and tighter-fitting,
revealing, and sexualized costumes for older ones,”
says Charme. “If we want girls to grow up feeling
empowered by a sense of their own independence and
agency, rather than being channeled into preordained
gender roles that accentuate the importance of female
beauty and sexual appeal, we should pay attention to
the messages these costumes express.” Stuart Charmé is
a professor of religion and director of the graduate
program in liberal studies at Rutgers University-
Camden. Contact him at (856) 225-6237
scharme@rutgers.edu

3. ==> Halloween Can Be Scary Dangerous

Kids love Halloween: Trick-or-treating, classroom
parties and trips to a neighborhood haunted house. But
the holiday can be dangerous, especially after dark.
From costume safety to trick-or-treating rules, remind
your listeners how to make this a fun, safe holiday
when you invite an expert from the National Safety
Council on your show. You’ll also hear Halloween
driving tips, including keeping inexperienced drivers
off the road during peak trick-or-treating hours. The
National Safety Council has a broadcast studio at its
headquarters, with both HD and SD capabilities. The NSC
is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and
communities, and on the road. Contact them at (630)
775-2307; media@nsc.org

4.==> It’s Also a Nightmare for Pets

As children get ready for the hustle and bustle of
trick or treating, we need to remember our furry
friends. Halloween can be a frighteningly dangerous
time for pets! Intuitive expert and animal communicator
Nora Truscello taps into animal energies and shows us
how to make Halloween all treats without the tricks for
our four legged friends. Invite Nora to share her
insights in what your furriest friends want and don’t
want on this spookiest of seasons. A spiritual
navigator for more than 30 years, Nora Truscello is an
author and speaker on a wide range of spiritual topics.

5. ==> Simple Ways to Cut Halloween Sugar

More people are starting to look for alternatives to
traditional Halloween candy, especially those who are
more aware of ingredients and concerned about what
children eat. To make it easier to “scare up” a list of
treats kids will adore, Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C.,
IFMCP, a doctor of chiropractic and certified
functional medicine practitioner with the Institute of
Functional Medicine, has nine fresh ideas to share. For
example, she’ll tell you why maple-syrup candies are a
healthful alternative as are Mini Cocoa Camino dark
chocolates. Dr. Beauchamp will also explore affordable
non-candy gifts most kids will enjoy. She has appeared
on numerous radio and TV programs and writes about
health and wellness for a variety of publications. She
has her own YouTube channel and is the founder of the
weekly “What the Hack?!” podcast. Dr. Beauchamp’s

6. ==> Today is 7th Anniversary of Hurricane Sandy

One of the worst storms in recent memory, Hurricane
Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, causing loss of power
to two million households, the destruction of more than
350,000 homes, the death of 37 people and $30 billion
in economic losses in New Jersey alone. Seven years
have passed but for many, the storm’s losses remain
raw. Melissa Lanza lost her home in Staten Island
during the storm but can talk about how she ultimately
emerged from the shock of Sandy’s devastation and from
having her faith tested as well as how we can all come
back from our own adverse events or Hurricane Sandys.
Melissa is a Nationally Board Certified Family Nurse
Practitioner with a family medical practice in Staten
Island. She is the author of “Experience God’s
Presence.” Contact her at (718) 980-6103;

7. ==> How the War on Drugs Created a War on Us

While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good
idea at one time, the consequences have been
catastrophic. One in three adults in the US now have a
criminal record, primarily for drug possession. Parents
grieve the loss of their children from overdose and
mass incarceration. And patients with severe illness or
chronic pain are denied access to proven pain
medications. Lawyer and expert on drug policy and
criminal justice reform Colleen Cowles can discuss the
myths about addiction that have fueled the overdose
epidemic as well as ways to transform the punitive war
on drugs into compassionate and effective policy.
Colleen Cowles, J.D., is the author of “War on Us: How
the War on Drugs and Myths about Addiction Have Created
a War on All of Us.” She is a speaker and frequent
radio and TV guest expert on topics related to criminal
justice reform, drug policy, and substance abuse.

8. ==> Where Does Your Beef Come From?

Consumers are paying attention to their food and its
origins. If you want to know where that mango came
from, all you have to do is to look at the label. But
when it comes to beef, it’s much harder to tell, says
Mike Galloway, who runs a cattle ranch in Western
Wyoming. The former broadcaster says it’s time to
restore labeling laws that were watered down in 2015,
making it easier for foreign beef exporters to pass
their beef off as ‘made in the U.S.A.’ Galloway says,
“There is a place for imported beef in the U.S.,
import-export and trade is important to our economy.
All I ask is that we stop misleading the American
people, that we stop blaming American cattle producers
for environmental disasters when foreign lobbyists and
their policies are causing countries to destroy the
rain forest to supply us with what they call ‘USA
Produced Beef.’” Mike Galloway and his wife, Erin, are
ranchers in Northeast Wyoming. They are also creators
of the largest YouTube and social media brand in
Wyoming, Our Wyoming Life, in which they chronicle the
hardships of managing a ranch and a massive change in
their life. Mike is a former DJ whose syndicated radio
show was broadcast on more than 200 radio stations
nationwide. Contact Mike Galloway at (307) 399-1620;

9. ==> American Eyewitness: Life in Afghanistan During
Soviet Occupation

For most Americans, Afghanistan is a mysterious country
that surfaces in the news as the U.S. military talks
about removing its troops or the Trump administration
negotiates with the Taliban. Bring Cat Parenti on your
show to discuss her experiences in the country, where
she lived on and off for 20-years. Parenti survived the
political twists and turns of Afghan history from King
Zahir Shah through the rise of the Taliban and started
a successful business selling antique clothing and
jewelry to U.S. museums and museum shops. She’ll
discuss what it was like to be a woman traveling alone
through the war-torn country, the rise of resistance
fighters after the Soviet invasion—including female
fighters—and her work in the resistance movement, and
how the Taliban came to power. Cat Parenti has shared
her first-hand knowledge of Afghanistan in numerous
media interviews, in presentations on Afghanistan at
the U.N., and in several books including “Afghanistan:
A Memoir from Brooklyn to Kabul.” Contact Cat Parenti
at (520) 508-0211; cat.parenti@gmail.com

10. ==> A Solution to 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

11. ==> 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

12. ==> Why Your Kids Bad Behavior is Caused by Your
Anxiety

Your kids are acting like feral cats. They won’t
listen. They fight and raise your blood pressure. It’s
not their fault. It’s your body’s chemical reaction to
stress that is adding to their bad behavior, and it’s
also why you may be experiencing real pain. Noted spine
surgeon Dr. David Hanscom will explain the connection
between anxiety and surges of body chemicals, and
reveal how you can train your body to control these
surges– even when the stress comes from your kids.
Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s
Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will share research-based
evidence and information about the direct connection
between stress, the body’s chemistry and physical pain.
He’ll also discuss how Western medicine’s answer to
stress has led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring for adults and kids alike. An
in-demand speaker and talk-show guest, including The
Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, Hanscom will change the way
you react to stressful situations – getting your
audience back on track to really enjoy parenting.

13. ==> Protect Kids from EMF

Electromagnetic radiation from cellphone towers,
cellphones, and other electronic appliances is
everywhere. Although there have been more than 10,000
global scientific studies done on the health impacts of
EMFs, most of us remain blissfully unaware of the
dangers. So what do parents need to do to protect their
children? For the answer, interview Beverly Jensen,
Ph.D. Dr. Jensen will discuss actions to take to reduce
electromagnetic radiation in your home to protect
yourself and your children and discuss whether that
cellphone tower near your house should concern you. She
can offer your listeners a link to her free eBook,

14. ==> How to Parent without Punishment

Parenting is one of the most important jobs anyone will
ever have. But is it possible to raise a child to be a
productive, independent adult without ever having to
spank or take away that child’s privileges? Absolutely,
says media veteran and child-rearing expert Emily
Slingluff, who wrote the book on the topic, “Parenting
without Punishment.” Emily will explain why there is
never a reason to punish children. Good parent-child
communication works so much better. Moreover, punishing
children teaches them mean and uncomfortable behavior.
It is even possible that it will lead to insecurity,
confusion, depression, and unhappiness with life. She
studied psychology and has a degree in government and
economics from Sweet Briar College and was an assistant
editor at The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757)

15. ==> When You Want to Downsize but Your Spouse
Doesn’t

Many times husbands and wives can’t agree on whether to
sell the family home for something smaller—an
apartment, condo, or cottage perhaps, in the city, near
grandchildren or somewhere else. But Rita Wilkins says
couples can usually have it all. “All they have to do
is figure out what having it all means to them and what
compromises they are willing to make.” The Downsizing
Designer, Rita will explain how to come up with a firm
idea of what your downsizing vision is (a two-bedroom
apartment, a condo, a townhome) and suggest ways to dip
your toe in the water before downsizing. She’ll also
share stories from her clients and her own downsizing
journey in which she gave away 95% of her belongings
and moved from a 5,000 square foot space to an 867
square-foot apartment. Rita Wilkins has been featured
on WHYY, Sirius-XM and in USA Today, Delaware Today,
Mainline Today and more. For over 35 years, she has
designed interiors throughout the country including
corporate penthouses and C-suites, Supreme Court
Justice Chambers and thousands of residential
interiors. “Downsize Your Life: Upgrade Your Lifestyle”

16. ==> What Most Real Estate Investors Get Wrong

A lot of people who go into the complex world of real
estate investing are convinced that they can get the
most bang for their buck by buying, renovating and then
selling properties, a process known as flipping. But
long-time real estate and property renovation expert
Dan Lieberman claims that this is not a recipe for
success. “You take on a lot of risk if housing prices
go down,” he says. “That’s why it’s a good idea to get
into the rental market. With rentals, you have ongoing
income, even in a bad real estate market.” Dan has many
years of experience successfully developing rental
properties. He can share the secrets to developing
rental properties, getting the best rent and attracting
the nicest tenants so that you have a great source of
ongoing income. Dan Lieberman is the author of “The
Effective Landlord: How Owners and Property Managers
Can Attract Better Tenants, Raise Rents, and Boost
Their Bottom Line in Any Market.” Contact him at

17. ==> The ‘Decision Dr.’ Takes the Agony out of
Indecision

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. As a
systems analyst, Terrie Novak is an expert at decision-
making… or “choice-making” as she likes to call it.
So, when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an
even scarier treatment option, she decided (after
freaking out) to apply what she does at work to help
her make some important decisions. Now she can help
you and your audience do the same! Terrie Novak works
in software engineering as a systems analyst. Her
unique framework for “choice-making” is a three-step
process anyone can use and can be applied to decisions
of any kind. Terrie Novak’s new book is “Decision
Doctor: How to Overcome the Agony of Indecision.”

18. ==> 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;

19. ==> Does Your Name Determine Your Success in Life?

“What’s in a name?” According to Name Colorology expert
B. P. Greycastle, your name can make or break you in
life. In his book “Your Name and Colors: Key to Your
Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance and Success,” he
reveals how your color-coded name determines your
personality traits and talents as they correlate to
your seven energy centers: spiritual, intellectual,
vocal, physical, control, emotional and sexual. “The
richest people have certain color types,” he explains.
“Ninety percent of them are purple spiritual center
people. William Gates is one example.” He can
illustrate on air using a vast array of lists, facts
and figures how the most famous and successful people
in practically every career field owe their success to
their names, with astonishing accuracy. Contact B.P. at

Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw US troops from
Syria remains highly controversial on both sides of the
political aisle, but William Ruger says the president
was right to pull troops from the Syrian-Turkish
border. “It is not in our national interest to have a
small U.S. force in the middle of a long-running
dispute between our NATO ally Turkey and various
Kurdish groups in Syria,” he says. Adding, “As
President George Washington taught us at the beginning
of the republic, eternal interests trump temporary
partnerships. Despite the French helping us win our
independence, Washington refused to have France’s back
in its wars, eventually issuing a neutrality
proclamation and concluding a trade deal with France’s
arch-enemy the British. It is not America’s job to sort
out the future of Syria.” William Ruger is vice
president for research and policy at the Charles Koch
Institute and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

2. ==> Zuckerberg, Facebook & Cryptocurrency

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was on Capitol Hill
yesterday defending his company’s cryptocurrency
project. The virtual currency (along with Bitcoin and
other cryptocurrencies) are making waves in the
financial realm. Their value is defined by a blockchain
or complex code that can be shared among multiple
computers but is completely anonymous and independent
of any government issuer. This makes crypto attractive
for both legitimate (such as supply chain transactions
between a company and its vendors) and illegal
(laundering of money from drug transactions) use.
Discuss the topic with Braden Perry, a former federal
enforcement attorney and veteran in regulatory
compliance and white collar defense. He can discuss the
pros and cons of cryptocurrency, specific issues
related to it and whether the world is ready for a new
type of currency. Perry is frequently quoted by
Reuters, Forbes, Nerd Wallet and other media outlets.

getup invite Jason Young Ph.D., to discuss the meaning
behind the costumes we choose. From Disney characters

What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by
ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and
find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his
grandfather, Serge Obolensky – the famed “Prince of New
York”, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame) who
died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest.
Convinced that people lived on after death, she proved
it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large
number of black cats that kept returning to her home on
61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried.
Eventually, the family home was exorcised. Ivan’s
grandfather, Serge, had ghost stories of his own to
tell including one of a Captain recovering from TB in
the Crimea who appeared at the family’s country home
many miles away and vanished before their eyes. They
later learned he had died and that the visitor was his
ghost. Ivan Obolensky is the author “Eye of the Moon.”

6. ==> Interview the Queen of Haunts

Scary places may have gotten their start in ancient
times to keep people from unsettling the dead in the
pyramids, but today the United States has become the
epicenter of scaring entertainment since the launch of
commercial haunted attractions in the 1970s. Amber
Arnett-Bequeaith of Haunted Attractions cut her teeth
at her family’s haunted house that started in 1975.
Today she reigns over an entire district of haunted
houses, including the Beast, and entertainment in
Kansas City, as the Queen of Haunts. Invite her to talk

7. ==> Fright: Why We Love it and When It’s Too Much

Whether it’s watching a horror movie or going to a
haunted house, there are a lot of people who actually
enjoy being scared out of their wits. What’s up with
that? Is it normal? And what about kids? How much is
too much for a child? Myke Merrill, D.Min., author of

8. ==> Mark the 7th Anniversary of Hurricane Sandy

One of the worst storms in recent memory, Hurricane
Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, causing loss of power
to two million households, the destruction of more than
350,000 homes, the death of 37 people and $30 billion
in economic losses in New Jersey alone. Seven years
have passed but for many, the storm’s losses remain
raw. Melissa Lanza lost her home in Staten Island
during the storm but can talk about how she ultimately
emerged from the shock of Sandy’s devastation and from
having her faith tested as well as how we can all come
back from our own adverse events or Hurricane Sandys.

9. ==> Too Early for Christmas Music? No Way!

While some people are concerned about Christmas music
creep—playing carols on the radio before
Thanksgiving—Renae Baker isn’t one of them. Baker, who
describes herself as a specialist in Christmas spirit,
says now is the perfect time to lay the groundwork for
your holiday spirit to take root. Otherwise, she says,
people may be blindsided to discover their spirit is
MIA in December when they need it. And this year, when
talk of presidential impeachment is in the air, mass
shootings are commonplace and people seem more
concerned about what divides them than brings them
together, Baker says we desperately need to reboot our
spirit to stop losing our faith in humanity.
Affectionately known as Mrs. Christmas, Baker has
managed a professional caroling company for decades.
She and her carolers have been featured on Fox News
Chief Religion Correspondent Lauren Green’s, Mighty
Christmas special and many more media outlets. She’s

10. ==> What’s Happened to Rudy Giuliani? Nothing!

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign recently asked TV
networks to stop booking Rudy Giuliani as a guest. John
Philp, a journalist and filmmaker. who co-wrote and
directed the 2003 documentary Rudyland, says Giuliani
is a hot ticket these days for his wild-eyed antics,
but to those asking what’s happened to him, he says,
“Nothing! The Rudy we see today, with his show-stopping
mix of conviction and incoherence, is the same Rudy
we’ve always had. The only thing new is his
predicament.” Philp continues, “Giuliani’s antics,
while striking most decent people as utterly insane,
will feel sadly familiar to anybody who’s watched his
career closely. Giuliani, an opera buff, has made his
time on the public stage an endless aria of political
pettiness, braying self-aggrandizement and ethical and
personal turmoil. Only the settings change.” Contact
John Philp at (212) 271-8747.

11. ==> How Foreigners Shut U.S. Students out of Jobs

Did you know that in 2017 alone, 275,000 foreign-born
students got jobs that should have gone to American
college students? Or that less than 50 percent of U.S.
citizen STEM graduates actually land a job in STEM?
Most parents and students have no idea about the
discrimination against hiring American nor do American
taxpayers who are losing some $2 billion in
contributions to Medicare and social security as a
result. Let Hilarie Gamm—a nationally recognized leader
—enlighten your audience about current legislation and
a letter to Trump asking him to put Americans first.
She’ll bust the myth that there is a shortage of
homegrown highly skilled, educated and qualified
workers and share why every citizen who cares about the
future of the middle class should be paying attention
to this legislation and taking action. Hilarie is one
of three founders of the nonpartisan American Workers
Coalition, championing H.R. 3564 Fairness for High-
Skilled Americans Act sponsored by Arizona Congressman

12. ==> Domestic Violence Month Quiz: Is Your
Relationship Abusive?

One in four women and one in seven men in the United
States have experienced severe physical violence in
their relationships, statistics that paint a picture of
just how common domestic violence is. Dellia Evans,
O.D., knows the issues associated with abusive
relationships only too well having been married to a
man who abused her for nearly 20 years. She’ll discuss
how men and women can overcome their need for approval
that keeps them captive in destructive relationships
and
why some women don’t realize they’re being emotionally
abused. She’ll also share a quiz to determine if your
relationship qualifies as abusive. Dr. Evans is an
optometrist and the author of “Heart Vision: How to See
Your Path Forward When You’re in a Dark Place.” Contact

13. ==> Doc Says He Could Have Saved Prince, Elvis and
Michael Jackson

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

Diamond” and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.”

14. ==> Dark Secrets Jeffrey Epstein Left Behind

The world was rocked when billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
was charged and jailed for human trafficking, and then
committed suicide while being held behind bars. But
what was truly shocking was that he got away with the
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

15. ==> Smart Tip: Use Life Insurance to Get Out of
Debt

illness or catastrophic event could wipe out their
savings and create a financial maelstrom. Did you know
that if you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of
your death benefits in cash? David Kottler, also known
as the Insurance Doctor ™, explains how selling off
that life insurance policy you or your loved one
doesn’t need anymore can generate cash to pay hospital
bills, get out of debt, or even make a cash gift to a
non-profit! How is this possible? Invite David on your
show to hear about a little-known secret! Most people
don’t know that when you don’t need your policy any
longer you can auction it off! David, author of “The
Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy,” will

16. ==> Bye-Bye Birdies

According to a new report by the Audubon Society, two-
thirds of North American birds could face extinction if
climate change is not addressed. Birds, it seems, are
early indicators of worsening environmental problems
and play important roles in insect control, plant
pollination and seed disbursement. Able to discuss this
breaking topic is Lynn Matsuoka, the author, and
illustrator of “Saving Our Seabirds.” Lynn can talk
about the thousands of species threatened by climate
change and share fascinating facts about such birds as
puffins, blue-footed boobies, and black-footed
albatrosses. Lynn can also share ways ordinary people
can help save the birds. She is donating part of the
sales for her adult coloring book to the Audubon
Society’s Project Puffin. Lynn is well-known
internationally for her drawings & paintings of Japan’s
Sumo wrestlers and her worldwide TV color commentary of

17. ==> Shocking Truths about College

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he learned some profound truths. To his
astonishment, he discovered that many students had no
idea what they would do with their degrees or how they
would pay off their student debt. They were going to
school merely because people told them they needed to
and because universities are highly skilled at
marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to
ensure that parents have important conversations with
their children, well before the first college tour.
He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like
as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way
universities use tuition money to preserve their
business interests to the detriment of students. He can
answer such questions as what should be taught in every
class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow
their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former
college professor, a documentarian and the author of
two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness?
Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.” Contact Glen at

18. ==> Why Our Best Students Feel Dumb

Students feel DUMB when they cram for a test on
Thursday, get an A on Friday and forget it all by
Monday. Students feel SMART when they remember and even
smarter when they use new, remembered knowledge to
solve problems in unique ways. SMART schools have
processes in place that make the “Cram Plan”
impossible. “Who has the most control over education?
The answer might surprise you… but almost everyone I
talk to agrees with my answer!” says Lee Jenkins,
educator, administrator and author. According to Lee,
it’s easier than you think to solve the educational
dilemma in this country… by getting rid of cramming,
once and for all! Lee shows your audience how! Lee
Jenkins is the author of “How to Create a Perfect
School,” foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an

19. ==> Why You Shouldn’t Punish Your Kids

Parenting is one of the most important jobs anyone will
ever have. But is it possible to raise a child to be a
productive, independent adult without ever having to
spank or take away that child’s privileges? Absolutely,
says media veteran and child-rearing expert Emily
Slingluff, who wrote the book on the topic, “Parenting
without Punishment.” Emily will explain why there is
never a reason to punish children. Good parent-child
communication works so much better. Moreover, punishing
children teaches them mean and uncomfortable behavior.
It is even possible that it will lead to insecurity,
confusion, depression, and unhappiness with life. She
studied psychology and has a degree in government and
economics from Sweet Briar College and was an assistant
editor at The Virginia-Pilot. Contact her at (757)

Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., is a leading authority and role
model on how to refire and reinvent oneself,

1.==> The High Price of Trump’s Great Betrayal

Dr. Richard Haass says Donald Trump’s decision to
withdraw American forces from northern Syria and leave
the region’s Kurds vulnerable to neighboring Turkey’s
military incursion was a terrible one. “Trump’s
abandonment reinforced already existing doubts in the
region and around the world that the United States
remains a reliable ally,” he says. “The notion that the
US can safely turn its back on the world and still
thrive even as global order declines is seriously
misguided. Trump has repeatedly claimed that Syria is
not critical to America’s security, noting that it is
thousands of miles away. But Americans learned the hard
way on September 11, 2001, that distance is no
guarantee of safety. Similarly, infectious disease, the
effects of climate change, and efforts to subvert
elections do not stop at national borders.” Dr. Richard
Haass is a veteran diplomat, a prominent voice on
American foreign policy, and the president of the
Council on Foreign Relations, an independent,

publisher and educational institution. Contact him at

2. ==> Meghan’s Gut-Wrenching Interview

A BBC special on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shows
Meghan holding back tears and acknowledging the
challenges she’s faced as a newlywed and mother in the
spotlight. Kara Alaimo finds the video gut-wrenching.
“It’s no surprise that Meghan is struggling. Our
society’s lack of concern for the well-being of new
moms is terribly disturbing — and it’s even worse for
her as a royal.” A new mother herself, Alaimo adds,
“Recovering from childbirth and caring for a baby is
enough of a challenge. But our society’s expectation
that new moms should cater to the rest of the world’s
every whim instead of tending to their own needs is a
cruel and dangerous form of misogyny.” Kara Alaimo,
Ph.D. is a former communicator at the United Nations
and in the Obama administration. A frequent media
guest, she is an associate professor at Hofstra
University and the author of “Pitch, Tweet, or Engage

3. ==> Slap Your Annoying Coworker Day is Tomorrow

Your co-worker is at it again — yakking it up nonstop,
clipping her nails, popping her gum and sucking up to
the boss. Normally, you just grin and bear it but
tomorrow you have full permission to haul off and slap
her into next week because it is National Slap Your
Annoying Coworker Day. “Most of my clients say they
hate their job, but in reality, when we probe, it’s the
people at work they can’t stand! They actually feel
pretty good about the work they are doing!” says
Jennifer Cochern, LCPC. She’ll discuss how to deal with
difficult people (without slapping!) and how that can
lead to higher job and life satisfaction. Listeners
will learn how to test their own emotional intelligence
– which includes self-awareness, social awareness
(think social media), self-management and relationship
management—and discover how they contribute to the
office issues. Cochern, LCPC is a seasoned counselor
who works with clients to promote personal growth and

4.==> It’s True: Rich Hold Exaggerated Belief They’re
Better

Greater wealth really can lead to inflation of the ego,
though sometimes unwittingly. A study by the American
Psychological Association found that people who view
themselves as members of a higher social class may have
exaggerated beliefs that they are more competent than
those in lower classes, even if they’re just as (or
more) capable. The researchers found that
overconfidence was often misinterpreted by others who
then believe the well-to-do person is more qualified
than they really are. Drs. Joseph Lao and Jason Young
can discuss what’s behind the elitist attitude, whether
people who believe they’re better than others exude
more confidence, and what happens when a wealthy person
feels poor and vice versa. Drs. Joseph Lau and Jason
Young are the authors of “Resistance to Belief Change.”

5. ==> 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

7. ==> The True Story of a Daughter’s Possession and
Exorcism

William Dorian discovered demonic possession is very
real when his 15-year old daughter tried to communicate
with the dead using a Ouija board. What began as an
innocent game eventually led to multiple evil entities
taking hold of the teen and tormenting the entire
family. Invite Dorian, author of “The Holy Water
Incident,” to share the extreme measures his family
took in the spiritual battle to save their daughter and
hear about the overwhelming trauma on the family’s
quiet life, how local religious authorities gave them a
cold shoulder and doctors’ only solution was
confinement in a psychiatric unit. William Dorian has
worked as a teacher, social worker, journalist, and

8. ==> 9 Ways to Decrease Halloween’s Sugar Load

More people are starting to look for alternatives to
traditional Halloween candy, especially those who are
more aware of ingredients and concerned about what
children eat. To make it easier to “scare up” a list of
treats kids will adore, Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C.,
IFMCP, a doctor of chiropractic and certified
functional medicine practitioner with the Institute of
Functional Medicine, has nine fresh ideas to share. For
example, she’ll tell you why maple-syrup candies are a
healthful alternative as are Mini Cocoa Camino dark
chocolates. Dr. Beauchamp will also explore affordable
non-candy gifts most kids will enjoy. She has appeared

through an Immigrant’s Eyes

Imagine at 22 leaving your family and friends and
moving to another country with a language you don’t
speak fluently with only a duffel bag and an open heart
to start a new life with your soon-to-be-spouse. That’s
what Rosie J. Pova did when she came to the US from
Bulgaria. When all her papers got stolen in Las Vegas,
she found herself illegal and stuck. Fast forward a few
years, after the birth of her first child, she
rekindled her love for children’s books and started
chasing a crazy dream of becoming a children’s author.
It took 13 years to get three book contracts from a
publisher. Now she inspires both kids and adults to

Doesn’t

Many times husbands and wives can’t agree on whether to
sell the family home for something smaller—an
apartment, condo, or cottage perhaps, in the city, near
grandchildren or somewhere else. But Rita Wilkins says
couples can usually have it all. “All they have to do
is figure out what having it all means to them and what
compromises they are willing to make.” The Downsizing
Designer, Rita will explain how to come up with a firm
idea of what your downsizing vision is (a two-bedroom
apartment, a condo, a townhome) and suggest ways to dip
your toe in the water before downsizing. She’ll also
share stories from her clients and her own downsizing
journey in which she gave away 95% of her belongings
and moved from a 5,000 square foot space to an 867
square-foot apartment. Rita Wilkins has been featured
on WHYY, Sirius-XM and in USA Today, Delaware Today,
Mainline Today and more. For over 35 years, she has
designed interiors throughout the country including
corporate penthouses and C-suites, Supreme Court
Justice Chambers and thousands of residential
interiors. “Downsize Your Life: Upgrade Your Lifestyle”
is her first book. Contact her at (302) 354-0972;

13. ==> How You See the World When You Don’t Like
Yourself

Whether it’s the man in the White House or customers in
line at the grocery story, treating people with respect
and kindness appears to have gone the way of the rotary
phone, eight-track tapes and cursive handwriting.
What’s fueling this rise in rude, boorish behavior?
Joffre McClung believes it’s something very basic but
profound. “Self-love, or the lack of self- love,
determines not only how we see ourselves but how we
experience the world around us. It’s the prism through
which we see and define all things,” explains Joffre.
Listeners will hear how a lack of self-love manifests
and impacts our lives and learn simple ways to
encourage self-appreciation and gratitude. Joffre
McClung has appeared on dozens of radio and TV
programs. She’s a former media producer, independent
filmmaker, and the author of “The Heart of the Matter.”

14. ==> It’s Northerners vs Southerners!

Even today, the big hair, big booted, Velveeta-eating
Southerners seem a world apart from the athleisure-
wearing, acai-bowl eating, self-actualization obsessed
Northerners. Suzanne Wexler, author of the upcoming
humorous memoir “Southern Grits for Northern Girls,”
will unite the country in laughter as she explains the
seven habits Southerners can teach Northerners. Suzanne
has lived in the North her whole life but visited her
Southern relatives from her maternal side often. She
knows what they get right—even if it took her years to
see! She says: “If there’s one thing North Americans
can use right now it’s a good laugh and a finer
appreciation of each other.” Suzanne is published in
the Huffington Post, National Post, Bust.com and her
work has been syndicated throughout Canada. She’s been
quoted in Goodhousekeeping.com and Reader’s Digest
magazine and provides commentary on TV and radio
throughout the U.S. and Canada. Contact her at (514)

16. ==> The Abuser Next Door: 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.

17. ==> How Single Dads Can Raise Boys to be Gentlemen

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow
up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to
become men due to that lack of a role model. We need
programs where men help them to learn manhood. It will
impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of
trouble.” Pastor Eric will discuss The Gentleman’s Club
launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher
Raymond Nelson, a program for boys that helps to
instill confidence, self-respect and respect for others
and share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help
them to become great men. A second-generation pastor of

for Marriage?” Contact Eric at

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

19. ==> The One Trait that Leads to Unimaginable
Success

So you think you have to be brilliant, gifted and in
the right place at the right time in order to be wildly
successful in life? Kim Chestney says, “Not so!” She
says virtually everyone has the ability to attain goals
beyond their wildest imaginings thanks to the one
innate trait that all humans possess: Intuition!
“Intuition is the most important, yet least understood
faculty of human consciousness. Getting your ego out of
the way and developing your inner voice is a great
bull***t detector. It can also facilitate well-being
and growth in all aspects of your life.” Kim is an
international best-selling author and intuition expert
who founded the popular CREATE! Festival in Pittsburgh,
Pa. Her new global online Intuition school,
IntuitionLab is up and running. Contact Kim at

20. ==> Connect with Your Inner Cowgirl and Wrangle
Your Best Life

After turning 40, Sandra Matheson found herself at a
daunting crossroads in her life. 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 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.’” Sandra is a co-host of New Cowgirl
Camps, which teach women about farming and ranching,
each June and August in Cheney, Wash. She is also the
author of the upcoming “Thrive After 40 ? How to Seize
