The mainstream media have repeatedly portrayed President Trump as a pathological liar and conman. But author and Christian pastor Frank Tull claims that the media are lying about his lies. “The Democrats and liberal media said Trump was lying when he claimed that the border was not secure and that millions of migrants were just entering our country,” he says. “This turned out to be true. That’s just one example among many.” He can share, in his opinion, why the liberal media portray President Trump as a liar. He is the author of “Christians Must Vote,” as well as the co-founder and senior pastor at the World Church in Texas. Contact Frank Tull at (469) 609-1385; ftull@rtirguests.com

Warning: The American Health Care System Can Kill You!
When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered by Luigi Mangione, this was a very extreme example of just how fed up are Americans are with the health care system. “The health care system has turned into a money machine,” says Rachel Rappaport. “They scare the sick and are willing to kill people and take away their hope for recovery in exchange for monetary gain. Rachel should know. When her husband was paralyzed from the neck down due to a bicycling accident, she gained first-hand experience when navigating the nightmarish health care system. But she helped him to recover by developing her own set of tools. She is the founder of the success-coaching program MAX!, and has trained with Jack Canfield, co-author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” and well-known motivational coach Tony Robbins.

Is DEI Doomed Under New Trump Administration?
When Trump takes office next week, experts expect a fresh wave of opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to follow. During his first term in the White House he barred federal agencies from providing certain diversity training, and similar efforts are expected this time around. And more companies are expected to follow suit. Sara Ting, a diversity and inclusion educator, can discuss why the concept has become so controversial, what will happen if DEI policies disappear, and why people have a hard time accepting that each of us has personal biases. “Often times, people aren’t even aware of their biases. But because we live in such a diverse society, it’s important that we acknowledge our biases and work toward inclusion – so that we can all function more harmoniously in every aspect of life,” she says, adding that DEI is the foundation for a healthy society.

How Martin Luther King’s Principles of Nonviolence Can Transform Your Personal Life
Monday, January 20 is not just the date of Trump’s second inauguration: it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. When faced with conflict within her family, retired American diplomat and self-described peacebuilder Danielle Reiff incorporated King’s principles of nonviolence into her own personal life, and the results were transformative. King’s commitment to universal love and nonviolent non-cooperation can apply to family as much as political opponents – or even to oneself. Reiff has spent her life in the service of peace, having supported democratic transitions and peace processes around the world as a diplomat for twenty years. Now she runs Peacebuilders, an initiative to promote nonviolence and unity in diversity in the U.S. during a critical time. Invite her on your program to help your audience learn about the value and power of nonviolence in our own lives and communities. As King’s inspiration Mahatma Gandhi said, “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies of the world would also change.” Contact Danielle at (202) 499-7256; dreiff@rtirguests.com
