1. ==> The Art of a Ukraine Deal

Monday marked three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, Russian forces occupy just under 20 percent of the country, and hundreds of billions of dollars in aid for Kyiv have been provided by the United States and other backers. Donald Trump has promised a swift end to the war and has upended U.S. policy by engaging Russia in direct bilateral talks that so far exclude Ukraine and its European allies. What is Trump doing and will he succeed? What would a good outcome look like? Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) can discuss what is driving Trump’s apparent strategy, his false claim that Ukraine started the war, and why a hastily negotiated deal that doesn’t involve allies could lead to Ukraine becoming his Afghanistan. “If you thought the optics of the Taliban parading American Humvees through Kabul looked bad, imagine the Russians driving a convoy of Abrams tanks through Kharkiv,” he says.

2. ==> Elon Musk Isn’t a Bad Boss, He’s a Cyberbully

Federal staffers got a message from Elon Musk on Saturday telling them to “list five tasks they completed last week” with an end-of-Monday deadline. He then took to social media and said not replying would be considered a resignation. As the weekend progressed, so did the realization by some that they should treat the email as spam. “Elon Musk has no authority. He’s not in the chain of command of these employees, so getting a direct order to do something or lose your job in some capacity when he had no authority to do that is something these agency heads are basically wising up to,” says Mark Maxin, an attorney with nearly four decades of experience in federal employment law, who served as counsel for labor relations at the Department of Labor under Democratic and Republican administrations. Maxin also says that Musk’s email violates federal sector employment law in several ways, including that employees are protected from being coerced to give out information. Contact Mark Maxin at maxin@american.edu or Natasha Abel at nabel@american.edu 

3. ==> Trump, Putin and Patrimonialism

Many people have been calling Donald Trump a wannabe authoritarian but Jonathan Rauch says what we’re seeing with his administration is what scholars call patrimonialism, and he says understanding it is essential to defeating it. The ancient form of governing involves a ruler claiming to be the symbolic father of the people and treating the state as his extended ‘household.’ Rauch offers Vladimir Putin’s first term as an example. So how is it defeated? Rauch says patrimonialism suffers from two inherent, and in many cases fatal, shortcomings; incompetence and corruption. He says, “Right now, when (democrats) are out of power and Trump is the capo di tutti capi, the history of patrimonial rule suggests that their most effective approach will be hammering home the message that he is corrupt. One thing is certain: He will give them plenty to work with.” Jonathan Rauch is a contributing writer at “The Atlantic” and a senior fellow in the governance studies program at the Brookings Institution. His latest book is “Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy.” Contact Jonathan Rauch at (202) 770-6520; GSMedia@brookings.edu or jon2U@hotmail.com

4. ==> Surprising Ways Technology is Shaping Society 

Why do so many technological innovations fail to live up to their lofty promises?  Cultural engineer-anthropologist Allen Batteau and design anthropologist Christine Z. Miller go beyond the innovation hype to examine how technology is shaping society in ways we rarely consider. They’ll discuss the flawed assumption that technology inherently leads to progress and the unintended consequences of innovation—global instability, misinformation, surveillance, and systemic vulnerabilities. They can also talk about the evolving relationship between humans and AI, including the psychological effects of lifelike digital entities. Batteau is a professor at Wayne State University and Miller teaches at Savannah College of Art and Design. They are the authors of “Tools, Totems, and Totalities: The Modern Construction of Hegemonic Technology.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at (703) 400-1099; johanna@jrbpr.biz or Erin Bolden at (703) 980-2705

5. ==> The White Lotus Effect 

If watching “The White Lotus” has you thinking, “I should book a trip to Thailand,” you’re not alone. When the location of Season 3 was first announced, interest in travel to Thailand skyrocketed. The phenomenon has even been dubbed “the White Lotus effect.” Brenda Prater Sellers understands travel lust and encourages people to lean into their adventurous spirit. She’s climbed Mt. Everest, chatted with celebrities, slept in crazy places and learned a lot of lessons. Bring her on your show to share her story and discuss her travels.

Calamities of a Clumsy Businesswoman.” Contact her at (865) 344-1755; bsellers@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Rebels and Scoundrels Can Also Be Great Leaders
 
Historically, sinister characters like Al Capone, Genghis Khan, and Hell's Angel Sonny Barger have been considered villains and thugs. However,  Steve Williams believes  we can actually learn a lot from them about effective leadership. "These figures personified extreme leadership, shattering the status quo, leading from the front, and decisive decision making," he says. He can share the specific tactics that made these infamous characters such effective head honchos, and how to apply these to one's own path to success. He is the author of six books including "Notorious: Leadership Lessons from History's Most Notorious Leaders," with a forward written by renowned author Jack Canfield, and a certified leadership coach and QMS expert.

7. ==> Trump vs Biden: Assessing Donald’s First Weeks in Office

It’s obvious that Trump’s second term will differ dramatically from Biden’s, but exactly how is worth investigating. Retirement wealth planner, author, and self-described “Equal Opportunity Critic” Rodger Friedman can discuss a wide variety of policy topics, from immigration to economic reform. Friedman is the author of “Erasing America: Broken Politics, Broken Country,” a chronicle of what he calls the slow but steady deterioration of our constitutional republic by the media and the radical progressive agenda. Have him on your show to discuss the potential triumphs and disappointments of the next four years of Trump in office. Ask him: How can Congress help enact Trump’s political agenda? Should we expect immediate results on immigration reform? Has the United States finally avoided socialism? Contact Rodger Friedman at (301) 327-2255; rfriedman@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Holistic Veterinarian on Bird Flu and Chickens

Bird flu is wreaking havoc on the farm industry and has led to millions of dead chickens and thousands of sick cows. It’s also caused an egg shortage and fears are rising about the health risks to humans. Is there any way to help keep the animals we eat safer? Bill Ormston, aka Dr. O, a longtime veterinarian who incorporates holistic remedies into his practice, says chiropractic care can make chickens and other food chain animals much safer to consume. “All animals used for food should be chiropractically adjusted, because it will help make the people who eat it healthier, he says.  “I have been instrumental in doing some research studies involving food animals, and this works.” Dr. O has been a veterinarian for more than 36 years, has been adjusting animals for more than 26 years, and is a member of the elite Animal Chiropractic Hall of Fame. He is the author of “Yes! It’s Really a Thing: An Informative Guide to Animal Chiropractic.” Contact Bill Ormston, DVM, at (469) 833-2378; bormston@rtirguests.com

9. ==> The Shocking Truth about Modern Nursing

One day, nurse Kathy Allan happened to look out the window of her hospital to see a new mother and her infant being discharged – by a cleaning lady dressed in scrubs. The trouble was, only nurses should wear scrubs and only nurses can discharge patients. When Allan began asking questions, the hospital administration threatened her job. “I knew then that the fix was in and the con was on,” Allan says. Invite her on your show and hear why she says our for-profit healthcare system betrays patients and abuses caregivers. Hear how nurses are overworked, exhausted, and are almost 20% more likely to die by suicide. As a 60-year nurse veteran, Allan not only knows all about these systemic ills, she can also discuss solutions which effectively address burnout and exhaustion, improve workplace relationships and professional boundaries, and strengthen policies that reduce the risk of medical errors. She is the founder of Gutsy Nurses, an organization dedicated to restoring the ethical practice of nursing as well as the sacred trust patients place in their caregivers.

10. ==> Are You Living With Pain? Expert Shares How to Stay Alive and Thrive
 
Vita Oyler is no stranger to debilitating pain. When she was a young, highly athletic woman, she accidentally stepped on a rock, after which she developed reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a severe malfunction of the nervous and immune systems.

But not only did she manage to survive this, she learned how to thrive and live a full, rewarding life. She can share how she managed to stay positive and live a productive life following years of severe pain, and practical skills for people living with pain.

12. ==> Why You Should Consider Autism and ADHD Superpowers
 
Autism and ADHD are generally considered disabilities for people, but according to Donna Redman, those people are simply more in tune with their senses -- which can be viewed as superpowers!  "People with autism, ADD, and ADHD (just to name a few) are often overwhelmed by their senses,” she says. “The problem is, they have so much sensory input that it’s hard to process everyday experiences. This can cause them a lot of stress and, in some cases, great pain.” Donna created the Secret Genius of Sensory Processing Program, to allow neurodiverse children and adults to unlock their hidden genius by using their senses to their advantage. She’ll discuss how it works and the difference it can make in someone’s life. Contact Donna Redman at (973) 876-5903; dredman@rtirguests.com

13. ==> How a Former FEMA Spokesman Became an Internet Humor Sensation

In terms of career reinventions, W.G. “Bill” Williams has been there and done that. He ran a consulting business in Washington, D.C. for twenty years, was a registered lobbyist, became the first director of News and Information for FEMA, and registered to become a financial advisor. Despite all that, Williams hopes he’s remembered for making people smile. “I started sending out a humorous daily email in the 1990s to get my sales staff to read their emails,” Williams says. “It worked.” Decades later, Williams has compiled thousands of these jokes and humorous stories, leading to his most recent book, “20 Years of Internet Humor…and Other Interesting Things.” Have Williams on for a fun show to discuss such quirky things as cat baptisms and the perils of AAADD: Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. He can even tell stories about his old college friend, who went on to become the famous musician, John Denver. Contact W.G. “Bill” Williams at (419) 534-0399; wgwilliams@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Meet the Kick-Ass 87-Year-Old Trying to Create a Guinness World Book Record

15. ==> Doc Shares RX for Living a Happier and More Meaningful Life

People often believe that happiness depends on life’s events and circumstances turning out well, but this limits how happy we can be; the number of such events is finite. Ron Schneebaum, M.D., author of “Bigger Hearted: A Retired Pediatrician’s Prescriptions for Living a Happier Life,” instead tells us that happier and more meaningful lives have more to do with our heart’s love and compassion than outer things.

1. ==> Shrink the Federal Workforce? It’s Been Shrinking for Decades

“The Trump administration claims that the federal workforce is massive and growing, when in fact it’s been declining and has already declined significantly,” says Algernon Austin, the director of the Race and Economic Justice project at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “When Trump was born, federal workers made up 4.5 percent of the workforce. Today they make up 1.5 percent. That is a massive reduction, especially when you consider that Congress has placed many new additional demands on the federal workforce during that time.” Austin says we have reached a catastrophic situation and points to the recent D.C. plane crash. “The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said that 40 percent of their members are working six days per week, 10 hours per day. That sort of degree of overwork is not uncommon in the federal government. Consequently, we see a lot of stress, fatigue, burnout, and high attrition in many agencies. It’s a real problem.” He says this isn’t just any business trying to cut spending by cutting employees. “The federal government serves the American people, so when it’s understaffed, the American people are being underserved and poorly served.” Contact Algernon Austin at austin@cepr.net 

2. ==> Texas Measles Outbreak is Just the Beginning 

A West Texas measles outbreak has climbed to 58, with 13 people (mostly children) hospitalized. The U.S. declared measles eliminated in 2000 thanks to a large percentage of people getting the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, but epidemiologist Elizabeth Jacobs says the U.S. coverage among children of kindergarten age has fallen and is now below the 95 percent coverage target. She says the outbreak is a completely predictable outcome for under vaccination. “What we’re seeing is going to be happening all over. It’s not just going to be measles; it will be other infectious diseases. I believe that, unfortunately, the next four years will usher in outbreaks of infectious disease that we haven’t seen in decades.” Jacobs says the only thing that will keep herd immunity up is continuing to require vaccines for school entry. Elizabeth Jacobs is a cancer and nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Arizona. Contact her at 1elizabethtjacobs1@gmail.com 

3. ==> What’s Going on With Bird Flu? Who Knows?

Some public health experts are worried they’re not getting information from the Trump administration on H5N1, aka Bird Flu, which makes it hard to understand the scope of the current situation. “It’s really alarming,” says Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist and director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University. “I have to assume that we haven’t heard big developments because big developments haven’t happened, but we also haven’t heard information about what’s ongoing to make sure big developments aren’t happening.” She says reports that the Centers for Disease Control withheld multiple issues of a key weekly report for the first time since the 1960s – and that those reports were about H5N1 – is a sign that things are deeply unwell at the CDC. “It’s really puzzling to me why we’re not releasing information that is essential to understand what risk this virus poses to people and how best to protect them,” she says. Contact Jennifer Nuzzo at pandemic_center@brown.edu; @jennifernuzzo

4. ==> Medicinal Herbs for Your Kitchen, Garden, and Apothecary

5. ==> ‘Soldiers of Song’ Documentary About Ukrainian Musicians 

Hailed as a ‘must-watch’ film by “Forbes” magazine, "Soldiers of Song” opens in limited theaters this month. The documentary follows Ukraine’s most iconic musicians as they use music to help inspire unity and courage. The film explores the profound impact of music on Ukrainian culture during a time of war and reveals the experiences of life under the shadow of Russian aggression. Directed and produced by New York-native Ryan Smith, this film marks a continuation of Smith's previous acclaimed work, including the Emmy Award-winning "NFL 360: Who If Not Us," which followed a group of football players in Ukraine who volunteered to join the military in defense of their country. “Soldiers of Song” was made in collaboration with a courageous Ukrainian production crew and executive produced by the Governor George Pataki Leadership Center.

6. ==> What’s at Stake in Ukraine?

With the three-year war in Ukraine grinding on, Donald Trump says he’s the man who can end it. Whether that will happen or not, refugee Laszlo (Les) Suhayda can share how the consequences will be catastrophic if Ukraine loses. “The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has verified 30,457 civilian casualties to date and millions of people have been displaced, which will only escalate,” he says. “If Ukraine loses, this will also embolden China, Iran, and North Korea to continue their own military expansion, which would have dire consequences for the entire world.” Les and his family escaped from Communist Hungary to America when he was only 5, and he witnessed the horrors of dictatorships first-hand. He is the author of the memoir “Twelve Bells to Freedom: The Suhajda Story,” and the inventor of the first wine slushee product in America. Contact him at (314) 501-6838; Lsuhayda@rtirguests.com

7. ==> The Scales of American Justice Have Tipped to the State

Many Americans feel our criminal justice system is broken. This veteran attorney agrees and says it’s time to tip the scales back in balance. Invite James Porfido, who served decades as both a state prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, to discuss how the American justice system has become unfair. He’ll share specific cases of unfair prosecution and the damage to the accused and their families. He’ll also discuss systemic changes that could be implemented to help level the playing field and share what you need to know if you are ever pulled over, arrested or detained by police. Porfido has appeared as a legal analyst on Court TV and CNN. He’s the author of “Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales,” a book detailing his experience in the criminal justice system. Contact him at (973) 620-2157; jporfido@rtirguests.com

8. ==> We Need to Protect Whistleblowers Now, More Than Ever

President Donald Trump says his new Department of Government Efficiency is rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, but critics say the White House is weakening watchdogs intended to guard against corruption. Discuss the importance of whistleblowers with Dana de Wendt and hear how they’ve changed the course of history. Karen Silkwood, a chemical technician and labor union activist, paid with her life when she exposed unsafe practices at Kerr-McGee Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Oklahoma. Mark Felt, better known as "Deep Throat," helped to bring down Richard Nixon by uncovering the Watergate scandal. Both were featured in major movies. However, whistle blowing isn't always as intriguing and can be very frustrating. "While working as a broker at Morgan Stanley in the early 2000s, I was convinced that they were cheating clients," says Dana. Although no criminal charges were ever filed, in 2007, Morgan Stanley and one of its senior traders agreed to pay $6.1 million in fines and restitution to settle allegations that the investment bank overcharged brokerage customers — one of whom was Dana's then 87-year-old father — on 2,800 purchases of $59 million of bonds. Dana is the author of "Checkmate: The Morgan Stanley Whistle Blower." Contact Dana de Wendt at (772) 773-6879; ddewindt@rtirguests.com

9. ==> The Key to a Longer Life and Better Environment? Vegetables!

Author and environmental activist Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., is 90-years-young and still going strong. His secret? "I have followed a vegan diet for decades," he says. "I am convinced that that has been the key to my longevity and remaining healthy at an advanced age." He also believes that animal-based industries are destroying the planet by largely contributing to climate change. "The world is eating itself into distinction," he adds.  "If people don't embrace vegetarianism and veganism on a massive scale, I am convinced that humans will be extinct by 2100." An experienced media guest, Richard is the author of "Vegan Revolution" and several other books. Contact Richard Schwartz at (914) 533-1949; rschwartz@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Why You Shouldn’t Do Your Best

People think that doing your best is the key to success, but according to transformational speaker, educator, and businesswoman Rachel Rappaport, that attitude leads to “just getting by.” Instead, she says, “Do whatever it takes, because doing your best is not enough! It is just a well-intentioned excuse; it is a mindset that leads to feeling stuck and creates an imaginary glass ceiling.” Alternatively, doing whatever it takes will stretch your creativity, empower you, and expand your possibilities, and give you the passion that you need to succeed in business and life. Rachel is the founder of the success-coaching program MAX! She also trained with Jack Canfield, co-author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” and well-known motivational coach Tony Robbins.
