1. ==> Millions Could Lose Food Assistance as Shutdown Drags On

One of the biggest impacts of the government shutdown is about to hit tens of millions of the poorest Americans hard: the halting of a critical food assistance program. Several states are now warning they will be forced to suspend Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits come Nov. 1 if the shutdown continues. Gina Plata-Nino, interim director of SNAP at the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) can explain how the program works and who will be most affected. SNAP, often referred to as "food stamps," serves roughly 42 million low-income Americans. The program, run by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, issues electronic benefits that can be used like cash to purchase food. This has already been a tumultuous few months for SNAP. President Donald Trump's megabill already cut the program by an estimated $186 billion over 10 years. FRAC is a national nonprofit that works to end hunger and undernutrition in the US through research, advocacy, and public education. Contact Jordan Baker at 202-640-1118; jbaker@frac.org

2. ==> The Heart of the Stalemate: Health Care Subsidies

The major sticking point in the ongoing government shutdown are enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act health insurance plans that are set to expire at the end of the year. Drew Altman, president and CEO of the non-partisan KFF (formerly known as The Kaiser Family Foundation) can untangle the issue and explain what the subsidies are and what will happen if they expire. “If the enhanced ACA tax credits are not extended, premium payments will increase by more than 100% for many of the 24 million Americans who buy their own coverage,” Altman says, adding, “The impact will be felt especially hard in red states that did not expand Medicaid.” One example is a 60-year old Florida couple with a combined income of $85,000. Altman says their insurance premiums would jump from $7,225 annually to as much as $28,561 if the subsidies are allowed to expire. Drew Altman is a leading expert on national health policy issues and an innovator in health journalism and the nonprofit field. KFF a non-partisan organization focused on health policy. It conducts its own research, polling, journalism, and specialized public health information campaigns. Contact Ann DeFabio at AnnD@kff.org

3. ==> Navy Veteran: The Unravelling of America’s Republic

America’s democracy is fraying under the weight of political division, corporate influence and public distrust. With the nation’s founding ideals at risk of collapse, Navy veteran and historic preservation leader Michael Bedenbaugh is sounding the alarm. Drawing on history and offering novel, actionable reforms, Bedenbaugh presents a non-partisan blueprint for restoring accountability, liberty and unity before it’s too late. “If we don’t act now, we risk losing the Republic our ancestors entrusted to us,” Bedenbaugh warns. The author of “Reviving Our Republic: 95 Theses for the Future of America” draws inspiration from Martin Luther's historic call for reform, Ninety-five Theses, and reinterprets the country’s founding principles for modern 21st-century challenges. The result is a bold blueprint for addressing the most pressing problems facing the nation today. Contact Helen Cook at 903.654.0938; hcook@ascotmediagroup.com

4. ==> Trash is the New Gold: 2025's Biggest Climate Opportunity

Veteran impact investor Ibrahim AlHusseini says the world is obsessing over carbon while ignoring the real climate emergency: methane leaking from our trash. And he's putting his money where his mouth is — betting that waste isn't just a problem to solve, but a trillion-dollar business to build. With over 20 years backing clean energy and sustainability ventures, AlHusseini founded FullCycle to turn the world's 2.3 billion tons of annual waste into clean energy and profit. His message: we have the technology to slash the fastest-heating greenhouse gas on Earth — we just need to treat garbage like the goldmine it actually is. You’ll learn how methane is 80x more destructive than CO₂ — and why nobody's talking about it and how the waste sector could become a $1.5 trillion industry by 2040.

8. ==> Success Isn’t About Hustle—It’s About the Pause

Why do so many smart, hardworking people still feel stuck, scattered or unfulfilled? According to Emilio Justo, the real problem isn’t effort—it’s timing. A two-time international TEDx speaker (with over 10.5 million views) and bestselling author of “The Power of Pause,” Justo reveals how mastering the habit of delayed gratifica¬tion—the ability to pause before reacting—can dramatically improve focus, resilience and achievement. Studies show that people who master delayed gratification are more likely to succeed in school, earn more money and maintain healthier relationships. In fact, the famous Stanford Marshmallow Experiment found that children who could delay gratification were more likely to thrive academically, professionally and personally as adults. Drawing from his journey as a Cuban refugee who became a renowned surgeon and entrepreneur, Justo delivers a rare mix of heart, science and actionable wisdom that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds.

1. ==> Medicare Alert! Why Millions Could Lose Drug Coverage 

Big changes are coming to Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and more than 69 million Americans could be affected. This is a timely story your audience needs to hear now, during Medicare’s Open Enrollment period, October 15 through December 7th. Invite Medicare expert Toni King, author of “Medicare Survival Guide Advanced Edition,” to discuss new changes that take effect January 1st, when Inflation Reduction Act subsidies are set to expire. King will explain the changes involving 10 popular high-cost, brand-name drugs and why millions of Medicare enrollees need to review their plans now to make sure their prescriptions will still be covered. Many plans are increasing premiums and adjusting which medications they cover and King says some enrollees are already seeing premium notices and dropped drugs for 2026. Ask her: “How can one small oversight erase your drug coverage overnight?” Which 2026 changes will hit enrollees’ wallets the hardest?” Contact Toni King at (281) 677-3736; tking@rtirguests.com

2. ==> The Move to Bring the Bible Back into Classrooms

Education, faith and culture are hot topics today with a growing movement to bring Bible-based lessons to public school students through off-site programs called “released-time religious instruction.” For one day this Thursday, Off School Property, a documentary produced by LifeWise Academy, will play in theaters nationwide to promote the movement to bring Scripture-based character education to public schools. LifeWise CEO Joel Penton can explain how the program has exploded from just a handful of schools in 2019 to more than 1,100 schools and 100,000 students across 34 states this year, the 1952 Supreme Court ruling that makes it possible and how communities are responding. Contact Jason Jones at jason@jonesliterary.com

3. ==> The Beauty Queen/MAGA Pipeline

From cabinet secretaries to state legislators, many women in today’s GOP have one thing in common: They got their start in public life by winning pageants. From Kristi Noem to Anna Kelly, Lindsey Halligan and even Erika Kirk, widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, these women celebrate a particular type of femininity. To their proponents, pageants are a training ground for women to learn discipline and poise and how to think on their feet. Margot Mifflin, author of “Looking for Miss America: A Pageant’s 100-Year Quest to Define Womanhood,” believes pageants and MAGA are “consonant” in their inclination to maintain the status quo. “MAGA culture is rewarding a certain kind of woman that beauty pageants reward. Both revere conventional, traditional representations of women,” she says. Ironically, modern pageants have suffragist roots and provided an outlet to showcase women’s talents and contributions to society. Then, in 1921 Atlantic City hoteliers subverted the idea into a revue of “bathing beauties” with the goal of extending the summer season. Margot Mifflin is an author and journalist who writes about women’s history, pop culture, and the arts. Contact her at (718) 960-8371; margot.mifflin@lehman.cuny.edu 

4. ==> Sober October is Almost Over. What Comes Next?

He'll share candid, lived experience alongside research-based advice, offering listeners clarity, courage and a roadmap toward freedom from alcohol.

5. ==> Diwali: The Festival of Lights Is Underway

Every autumn, as nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, more than a billion people around the globe gather to celebrate Diwali — the “festival of lights.” In some regions of India, where Diwali coincides with the Hindu New Year, people light lamps to remember that light triumphs over dark, knowledge prevails over ignorance, and good triumphs over evil. Diwali started on Monday and runs for five days. Mat McDermott of the Hindu American Foundation can discuss the meaning of the holiday and how celebrations differ according to the region of India your family historically hails from.

8. ==> Why Pushing Your Kids to Win Could Break Them

11. ==> A Bold New Action Plan to Repair Slavery’s Lasting Wounds

Lauraine White warns America’s reckoning with slavery can’t wait another generation. As President Trump’s non-inclusive politics fuel new battles over DEI, history standards and voting rights, she says the time for denial is over. With both enslaved and Confederate blood in her family line, White argues that real healing requires more than apologies. Her Freedom Wealth Fund lays out measurable steps: 1) erase student-loan debt for descendants of slaves, 2) guarantee free education, and 3) rewrite U.S. history curricula to tell the full truth about the transatlantic slave trade. White insists this isn’t about relitigating the past—it’s a practical blueprint for a just future. With nearly 60% of Americans saying slavery still affects Black people’s position in society today (Pew Research), her plan will spark headlines, debate and the uncomfortable, but necessary, conversation America keeps postponing. Sample questions: Can a Confederate descendant credibly lead the call for reparations, or is that exactly why she should? Is student-debt forgiveness for descendants a fair, targeted form of reparations that taxpayers can accept? For interviews, contact lwhite@rtirguests.com (email preferred) or (770) 525-8743.

14. ==> Why Top Students Know the Bible, Even If They Aren’t Religious
