Jennifer Rubin says, “In case you thought Trump was
preparing for his summit with Kim Jong Un — you know,
learning about the subject and walking through the
likely North Korean ploys and weak points — he’s doing
nothing much at all. How do we know? He said so.” “I
think I’m very well prepared,” Trump told reporters on
Thursday. “I don’t think I have to prepare very much.
It’s about the attitude. It’s about willingness to get
things done.” Rubin believes the real aim of the summit
is to have a photo-op, mouth some platitudes about
further talks at lower levels and have Trump say as
little of substance as possible. “Truth be told, there
likely is no viable plan short of war for obtaining
complete denuclearization. Under such circumstances,
perhaps it’s not the worst thing to have the bombastic,
clueless president talking and posing for pictures
rather than drawing up war plans.” Jennifer Rubin is an
MSNBC contributor and writes the Right Turn blog for
The Washington Post. Contact her at

“The real adults in the room are the youth from
Parkland, Florida, who are speaking out about the need
for meaningful gun control laws. They are proving that
civic engagement among young people can make a
difference. The ironic part? They can’t even vote yet.”
So says Joshua Douglas, a law professor specializing in
election law, voting rights and constitutional law. He
believes that lowering the voting age, coupled with
better civics education, can energize a whole new
generation of smart civic leaders. He says,
“Unfortunately, a tragedy happened, but the response at
Stoneman Douglas High is showing that youth in this
country can and should have a significant role in
political debate. The students are fed up with our
politicians and are using their voices to demand
change.” Joshua Douglas is a law professor at the
University of Kentucky College of Law. He is the co-
editor of “Election Law Stories” and is currently
writing a new book on positive voting rights
enhancements. Contact him at (859) 257-4935;

Many doctors, psychologists, and political leaders now
realize the powerful impact faith and religious beliefs
play in our ability to bounce back after Harvey, Irma
and other disasters. People who have something to
believe in beyond what they can see with their eyes
handle the “storms” of life better when their normal
life is shaken by devastating events, says Pastor
Terrance Levise Turner.  Pastor Terrance will share the
keys to keeping hope and faith intact and your spirit
afloat when everything else is sinking. His advice also
applies to setbacks in marriage, careers and finances.
He is the author of several books including his latest,
“Your Wealth Is In Your Anointing: Discover Keys To
Releasing Your Potential.” In addition, he is a singer
and songwriter who with his wife created a 21-song

month and will make its TV debut on Nat Geo on June
11th. ‘Hell on Earth’ chronicles Syria’s descent into
the unbridled chaos that allowed the rise of ISIS.
Filmmakers Sebastian Junger and Nick Quested (he was on
the ground in Syria and did all of the filming. He was
also arrested by Iraqi police.) Both filmmakers have

1. ==> Trump/Netanyahu Meeting – One State Solution?

Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu met and held a joint press conference at the
White House last week. When asked if the US was still
wedded to a two-state solution in Israel Trump broke
with longstanding orthodoxy. “I am looking at two
states or one state, and I like the one that both
parties like,’ the president said. And on settlements,
Trump reaffirmed to Netanyahu, “I’d like to see you
hold back on settlements for a little bit.” Ali
Abunimah, cofounder of the Electronic Intifada website
says, “Conventional opinion views any Trump abandonment
of the two-state solution as capitulation to Israel’s
far right wing that is pressuring Netanyahu from within
his coalition to annex the West Bank outright. Trump
has at least acknowledged that Palestinians must agree
to the terms of any agreement. And Palestinians will
not submit voluntarily to Netanyahu’s conditions.” Ali
Abunimah’s books include “One Country: A Bold Proposal
to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse.” Contact him at

2. ==> Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Millions of Americans are feeling disempowered. They
don’t feel as if their voice is heard, especially now
that the election is over. What can they do and will it
make a difference? Neale Godfrey says as a consumer,
you have immense power with your spending. “Consumers
seem to “voting” a lot since the election. Neiman
Marcus, Macy’s, Shoes.com, Belk, ShopStyle, Bellacor,
Jet.com, and Gilt, have all dropped some or all of
Ivanka Trump’s line as well as other Trump-branded
products. And the New York Times reported employees at
T.J Maxx and Marshalls have been told that ‘all Ivanka
Trump signage should be discarded.’ The retail ballot
boxes seem to be open for business.” Godfrey says
boycott campaigns are springing up as well. “Economic
pressure is real! Get out and vote… with your wallet!”
Neale Godfrey is an expert on family and children’s
finances who has been in the financial field for more
than 30 years. Neale became one of the first female
executives at The Chase Manhattan Bank. Later, she
became the President of The First Women’s Bank and
founder of The First Children’s Bank. In 1989, Neale
formed her own company, Children’s Financial Network,
Inc., whose mission is to educate children and their
parents about money. Contact her at (212) 854-6100;

3. ==> Wiki-leaks, Illegal Leaks and Donald Trump

Following Michael Flynn’s resignation as National
Secretary Advisor, Democrats are demanding an
independent investigation of Russian influence over the
November General Election. However, Donald Trump and
the GOP only want to investigate the “illegal leaks” to
news outlets. Invite Michael McCray, a public interest
advocate and expert on whistleblowing, to discuss the
importance of journalism, whistleblowers and the role
of the First Amendment. McCray was personally bullied,
intimidated and retaliated against after he reported
improprieties at his federal job before being forced
out. He says America needs principled individuals now
more than ever. Contact him at (870) 543-0024;
mccray.michael@gmail.com.

4. ==> Trump’s Age & Hair-Loss Drug = Dementia?

At age 70, Donald Trump is the oldest man to be elected
a US president. His longtime personal doc recently
revealed to the New York Times that Trump takes
Finasteride to treat male pattern baldness. Side
effects include mental confusion and impotence. Is
Trump on the fast track to dementia or Alzheimer’s?
Invite senior health adviser Janet Rich Pittman to
discuss the president’s age and mental capacity as well
as other risk factors for dementia. Should Trump be
urged to undergo a series of psychometric tests to
prove his mental capacity? A former political operative
and activist, Janet is now known as The Brain Nerd,
specifically a Dementia Prevention Specialist, based on
her years of experience as a Dementia Practitioner and
Dementia Administrator. Janet is author of the upcoming
book “It’s There: 5 Simple Ways to Find Your Memory and
Prevent It from Leaving.” Contact her (251) 648.0325;

5. ==> Capt. Dave Marciano of Nat Geo’s ‘Wicked Tuna’

The new season of Wicked Tuna premieres Sunday, March
12th on the National Geographic Channel. The show is
set in Gloucester, Mass at the start of the North
Atlantic Bluefin tuna season. Invite Captain Dave
Marciano to take you behind-the-scenes of the show and
talk about a fisherman’s life on – and out of – the
water. A life-long fisherman, he’s been on the water
since he was 11 years old and worked in Key West and
Gloucester before buying his own boat, Hard
Merchandise. Marciano also holds the distinction of
having survived a 2003 shipwreck when his ship was18
miles offshore and struggling to get back with
thousands of pounds of fish and a plank in the hull
gave way. “We sank in 33 minutes,” Marciano recalls
matter-of-factly. Captain Dave Marciano will be in NYC
on March 10 and available for interviews. Contact

6. ==> Amazon Kid Hit ‘Annedroid’ Creator

Amazon’s hit children’s series, Annedroids, tied with
Sesame Street to earn ten Daytime Emmy Award
nominations, more than any other show in 2016.
Annedroids is a live-action adventure series about a
young female genius, her human friends, and android
assistants that aims to teach kids about science and
technology. Speak with Annedroids
creator/writer/producer JJ Johnson, who received
previous Emmy nominations for Dino Dan and The Wonder
Pets, about the secret behind the show’s popularity,
the key to creating successful children’s TV
programming, and the importance of teaching science to
kids at a young age. Contact John Angelo at
john@premieretv.com.

7. ==> Black History Month: Will the World Ever Be
Color Blind?

The issue of skin color has plagued society for
centuries. Nowadays, it is undeniable that the same
issue persists. Invite Lupita Samuels to break the
barriers between skin colors and explain how to move
forward from this negative mind-set. Samuels will put
into perspective the misconceptions about skin color.
Using metaphors and comparison, Samuels will explain
how skin color does not dictate a person’s worth.
She’ll include several reflective exercises to help
guide listeners toward a peaceful resolution of their
issues and struggles on the matter. Lupita Samuels was
born in Costa Rica. She worked as an educator in the
New York City public school system for over twenty
years. She’s the author of the Color Blind book series
which includes her latest release, “Think Folks Are
“Too Dark?” Think Again!” Contact her at (718)
654-7010; lusamuels@hotmail.com

8. ==> What’s Next for NAFTA?

We live in interesting times, as disruption is the new
normal for most businesses —from Brexit to President
Trump’s challenging the value of free trade, including
revisiting NAFTA. Will leaving or changing NAFTA really
help bring manufacturing jobs back to America? While
this sounds logical, international trade is more
complex than most people realize. Customers expect low
prices and want a huge range of products to choose
from. Can we redesign the principles of free trade and
still keep customers happy? Robert Martichenko brings a
valuable perspective as a Canadian American business
owner and leading expert on supply chain management. He
can discuss the big questions surrounding the current
discussions on trade agreements and why global supply
chains may be here to stay. Martichenko is CEO and
founder of LeanCor Supply Chain Group, an award-winning
business author, novelist and international speaker.

9. ==> Insurance Won’t Pay for Non-Drug Pain Treatment

New pain treatment guidelines from the American College
of Physicians (ACP) recommend that low back pain be
treated with alternative therapies including massage,
acupuncture, spinal manipulation and exercise and only
if these treatments fail should drug treatment be
considered, preferably with nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs. Chronic pain expert Cindy Perlin
says the recommendations are long overdue but… “These
new guidelines won’t help most pain patients because
health insurers refuse to pay for the recommended
treatments and few patients can afford to pay for them
out of pocket. Perlin is the author of “The Truth
about Chronic Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst
Strategies for Becoming Pain Free.” She is a licensed
clinical social worker, certified biofeedback
practitioner and chronic pain survivor and has been a
guest on multiple TV and radio networks including PBS,
SiriusXM, and RadioMD. Contact Cindy Perlin at (518)
439-6431; cperlin@nycap.rr.com

10. ==> Feb is American Heart Month

Valentine’s Day may be history, but hearts are still up
for discussion because February is American Heart
Month. Cardiovascular disease and stroke are the two
top causes of death worldwide. Invite University of
Chicago cardiologist Amit Patel, M.D. to discuss why
heart failure rates are increasing in the United
States, and why cardiovascular disease remains the
leading cause of death, even though the mortality rate
from cardiovascular disease is falling. Dr. Patel will
share the latest technologies to treat heart disease
and failure, including cutting-edge, non-invasive
imagery that plays a key role in diagnosis without
exposing patients to radiation. Dr. Amit Patel is
associate professor of Medicine and Radiology at the
University of Chicago and a member of the Society of
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance. Contact Beth Drost
at (215) 884-6488; beth@comsolutionsgroup.com

11. ==> Say No to Chronic Boomer Unemployment

There may be high employment today, but you wouldn’t
know it by boomer standards. Many business
professionals over 50 still struggle with long-term
unemployment, under-employment, lower pay and
traditional job search techniques that produce nothing.
Good reasons why more boomers are turning to the gig
economy, notes Spunk Burke, author of “The GIG
Solution,” which drops next month. Spunk will explain
how boomers are learning to target prospects whose
problems they could solve as a contractor or on a
project basis. He’s a staffing veteran who provides
coaching to help boomers build rewarding gig practices.
He also helps companies link to contractors who can
address their immediate needs. Spunk can be reached at
(978) 801-9010 or spunk@thegigsolution.com

12. ==> Tax Talk: What’s Considered Income?

Tax season is fast approaching! Lisa London CPA, can
help your listeners streamline their current files and
understand everything from deductions to what is
considered income. She says, “With the influx of people
in the sharing economy, like Uber drivers, Airbnb
hosts, and EBay and Amazon sellers, more and more
people need to understand what is considered income and
what are allowable expenses.” Invite her to tell your
audience how to use their cell phones to simplify
bookkeeping and share record-keeping tips and tricks to
help small and at-home businesses. Lisa London has been
featured on numerous TV and radio shows. She is the
author of the “Accountant Beside You” series of books
for small businesses, nonprofits, and churches. Her
newest book, “Banish Your Bookkeeping Nightmares-The
Go-To Guide for the Self-Employed to Save Money, Reduce
Frustration, & Satisfy the IRS” will be released next
month. Contact her at (919) 770-3746;
lisa@lisalondon.net

13. ==> Prepare Kids for Test-Taking

Whether your child is taking the Common Core State
exams or other state testing, the heat is on in the
classroom and everyone involved is totally stressed out
and frazzled. Invite Heather Arabadjis to share ways
to beat this year’s testing season with inside tips and
concrete strategies everyone needs to know. She’ll also
help with ways to make sure your kid doesn’t become a
victim of testing anxiety, and a growing culture of
students who are failing at a young age. Heather
Arabadjis has 14 years of experience in the education
industry and is the author of the children’s series
Monster Mas. Contact her at (718) 510-3736;
MonsterMasmedia@gmail.com

14. ==> Lying Matters – It’s What We Teach Kids

A lie is a lie, but even adults who’ve heard their fair
share of political rhetoric and spin are finding it
hard distinguish between the lies and truths in
Washington today. So how do you talk to kids about the
importance of truth when the new president and his
staff don’t seem all that interested? Leeza Steindorf,
an expert in parenting and communication, says “Society
as a whole permits—even encourages—lies, white lies,
bending the truth, calling things alternative facts.
But children—and quite frankly quite a few adults—need
to understand the value in telling the truth: Being
truthful is key to being authentic and genuine, which
is congruence inside and out.” She’ll discuss how to
talk about today’s issues with kids from young ones to
teens, and help them make sense of what’s going on in
the world around us. Leeza Steindorf is a
communications and conflict resolution expert,
international consultant and speaker. She’s the author
of “Connected Parent, Empowered Child: Five Keys to
Raising Happy, Confident, Responsible Kids” and “CORE
Success for Schools: The Practical Guide Book for a
Positive School Climate.” Contact her at (541) 550-
0451; Leeza@CoreSuccess.com

15. ==> Why Winter Is the Best Time to Find Your
Purpose

Baby, it’s cold outside, at least for most of the
country. Days are shorter and people feel like
hibernating. Meanwhile, 10 million Americans are coping
with seasonal affective disorder. But Andro Donovan
says winter’s chill offers advantages too good to miss.
It is in winter, she argues, that we can slow down and
take the time to find ourselves, determine who we are
and who we want to be and put into motion short-term
goals that will warm out hearts. Invite Donovan on your
show to talk about getting the most from your next snow
day (after the snowball fight, of course), and
strategies you can use to think outside the box when
all you want to do is curl up in it with a blanket.
She’s the author of “Motivate Yourself: Get the Life
You Want, Find Purpose and Achieve Fulfilment,”
published by a subsidiary of Wiley. Donovan is a

=======================================

1. ==> Trump Tax Cuts and the Federal Deficit

Before President-elect Donald Trump has fully fleshed
out his policy agenda, House Republicans are already
planning to slam through Congress their own program of
repealing Obamacare, repealing regulations Barack Obama
issued in the last 60 legislative days of his
administration, and enacting substantial tax cuts. But
Ivan Eland says it’s nearly impossible to take away
government programs from constituency groups that
already receive them, and tax cuts do nothing to spur
economic growth unless government spending is reduced.
“In fact, Mr. Trump has promised not to cut
entitlements – by far the largest part of the federal
budget. If these familiar policies are followed, the
$500 billion deficit that Mr. Obama has left will
balloon – as deficits did during the Reagan and Bush
administrations.” Instead, Eland suggests the Warren
Harding-Calvin Coolidge route to tax cuts. “Those
presidents believed in robust, old-fashioned spending
cuts, thus enabling them to also slash taxes while at
the same time reducing the then-substantial national
debt left over from World War I.” Ivan Eland is the
author of several books including “Recarving Rushmore:
Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and
Liberty.” Contact him at (703) 282-3484 (cell);
ieland@independent.org, @Ivan_Eland

2. ==> Recount Upshot: ‘Victories’ by Mere Pluralities

According to FairVote’s Rob Richie, this year’s
presidential election recounts won’t change the
outcome, absent discovery of election theft involving
organized voter fraud. He says, “In fact, no candidate
won a majority of the popular vote in 14 states. But
increased scrutiny to the results highlights a huge
problem we easily could fix by state law: recounting
the ballots still won’t allow us to know how backers of
Jill Stein, Gary Johnson and other candidates would
have voted if able to indicate their backup preference
between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.” He adds,
““Most presidential elections around the world use
runoff elections. Ranked choice voting liberates voters
to support the candidates they like without
inadvertently helping to elect the candidate they like
the least. It gives voters more voice by allowing them
to rank candidates in order of choice, and those
rankings can simulate an ‘instant runoff.’ Ritchie is
executive director of FairVote. He just wrote the piece
“Hacking America’s Antiquated Elections” for Cato
Unbound. Contact him at rr@fairvote.org, @Rob_Richie

3. ==> WSJ Foodie Gail Monaghan – Holiday Cooking

Holiday dinners are the annual culinary challenge in
many American households. We agonize over what to make,
when to make it, and even how to fit everything in the
oven! Let the Wall Street Journal’s feature food
columnist Gail Monaghan share the secrets you need to
make this year’s holiday meal stress-free. She’ll share
both money and time-saving tips, do ahead dinner menus
to beat the clock, and ways to make your leftovers pay
off. Monaghan is the author of “Lost Desserts” and “The
Entrees” cookbooks, and has been teaching cooking
classes for more than two decades in Manhattan. Her new
cookbook is “It’s All in The Timing.” Contact Gary Duff
at gary.s.duff@gmail.com.

4. ==> HoHo Hold the Line on Holiday Shopping Debt

According to a consumer survey by the National Retail
Federation consumers plan to spend $929 on holiday
gifts this year vs. the $882 they said they would spend
last year. With many people in the mood to spend and
retailers eager for them to do so, help your listeners
stay on budget and avoid falling into a holiday debt
trap. Linda Levesque will share secrets to smart
shopping online and in stores and reveal the sneaky
ways retailers try to lure you to buy more. Linda is a
financial planner and the author of “The 5 Minute
Wealth Plan: How to Save Today for a Richer Tomorrow.”

5. ==> Finally – What’s Really in a Hot Dog?

Of all the food we eat, nothing sparks more rumor and
speculation than the ingredients in a hot dog. But
contrary to common beliefs that hot dogs include
“everything but the oink,” today’s wieners are made
from exactly what is listed in the ingredients
statement on the package. Well, guess no more! The
National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC) has a new
searchable Hot Dog Ingredients Guide that allows users
to find ingredients they see listed on favorite package
of hot dogs, and learn why it’s in there. NHDS’s Eric
Mittenthal says, “Hot dogs taste great because of their
ingredients and we want people to know what is used to
make them and why. Each manufacturer has its own
recipes, but as consumers seek more information about
their food, the guide will be a helpful tool to better
understand hot dogs and how they are made.”

6. ==> Will Your Family Survive the Economic Crash?

Our national debt is rapidly approaching $20 trillion,
and it’s clear that this can’t continue indefinitely.
Is your family safe in America if we have an economic
crash? We think the government will keep us safe, but
who will keep us safe from the government? Invite
author Robert Baynes to tell your audience how to
protect their family through an economic crisis. Baynes
can discuss why most people in Washington won’t talk
about the national debt and whether an economic crash
is inevitable. His new book, “The Day the Dollar Died,”
reveals why every American should be preparing for an
economic collapse. Baynes has been featured on numerous
radio shows nationwide. Contact him at (260) 273-6925

7. ==> Make Resolution Stick – No Willpower Needed

Year after year, people make New Year’s resolutions
they’ll never keep. Akram Alashari, M.D., says the
problem isn’t with the resolutions, it’s the way people
approach them. “Every year people are faced with the
same dilemma,” Dr. Alashari says. “Making New Year’s
resolutions is supposed to be fun and exciting, but
more often than not the process turns into an
additional stressor, headache, and hassle.” Invite the
author of “The Power of Peak State” to share a few
simple tips that will make all the difference and help
listeners accomplish their New Year goals. Akram
Alashari became a physician at 23 and did his surgical
residency training at the University of Connecticut. He
completed fellowship training in trauma surgery and
surgical critical care at the University of Florida.
Alashari is the youngest double board-certified surgeon
in the United States. He is the author of The Power of
Peak State and creator of the upcoming program, “Peak
Performing Parents: How to Get Your Children to Achieve
Straight As.” Contact him at 407-617-4795 or email
thepeakperformancedoctor@gmail.com.

8. ==> Standing Rock Victory?

Months-long protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline
project bore fruit this week when the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers denied a permit for installation of the
pipeline beneath the river that serves as the water
supply for the Dakota Sioux and others. Dr. Ellen Moyer
says, “Though a major victory has been achieved, the
final outcome of the nearly complete pipeline project
is by no means certain. This story involves a myriad of
fascinating issues – water supply protection, fossil
fuel infrastructure expansion at a time when we should
be weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels, the rights of
indigenous people, environmental review and permitting
processes, and the power of peaceful protest.” Dr.
Ellen Moyer is a registered professional engineer with
30 years of environmental consulting experience, a
regular contributor to The Huffington Post, and author.
Her latest book is “Our Earth, Our Species, Our Selves:
How to Thrive While Creating a Sustainable World.”

9. ==> The Dreams Behind Hit Songs

Overnight ‘dream downloads’ have played a key role in
the rise to stardom of Sting, Beyoncé, the Beatles,
Billy Joel, Taylor Swift and many, many more successful
music artists. In fact, Craig Webb says over 20 Grammy
wins can be linked directly to dreams. Invite Craig on
your show and hear how Bono dreamt music that led to
collaborations with Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan
(including Roy Orbison spontaneously arriving at his
door the night after he dreamt music for him), to how
numerous artists received dream help from deceased
family and colleagues including Stevie Wonder whose
just-deceased mother came in a dream to urge him not to
take a year off to grieve her death, as he had informed
his business manager and agent. Webb will reveal the
surprising dreams that have shaped our culture from
iTunes’ most-downloaded song, to life-saving
nightmares, to beloved Christmas carols, as well as how
anyone can benefit from the same powerful process. Webb
has made more than 1,000 media appearances, and
consults for Fortune 500 corporations, A-list
celebrities and feature films. His latest book is “The
Dreams Behind the Music.” Contact him at (514)

10. ==> Adele, Selena, Zayne – Everybody’s Anxious

Have you noticed how celebs, friends and colleagues are
all of a sudden sharing how they feel? Even an
embarrassing thing like anxiety! Are more people
getting anxiety or are more people talking about it?
Psychotherapist Jodi Aman says anxiety is now an
epidemic in our culture. She’ll explain what to do if
you have it, how to know if you need help, and what you
need to know to understand, prevent and stop suffering
from anxiety and stress. Afraid of flying? Dread
holiday parties? Need help setting personal boundaries?
Jodi can share ways to deal with anxiety triggers and
talk with friends and colleagues about anxiety that
will make everyone feel better. Jodi Aman is the author

11. ==> College Kids Are Home on Break

For many families, December means Winter Break, with
houses full to the brim with college kids home for a
few weeks. Add to that visiting relatives, holiday
parties and all the stress that comes with the holidays
and—well, that could be a powder keg. Invite Laura
Lyles Reagan to share ways to have a happier holiday–
with less fighting—and enjoy your family time.
According to Laura, a sociologist, youth development
and parenting expert, the keys to closing the
generation gap are mutual respect and tuning into each
other’s communication style. Laura Lyles Reagan, MS is
a sociologist and teen and parent relationship expert
with more than 20 years in the field of youth
development and parent education. She’s the author of
“How to Raise Respectful Parents.” Contact her at

12. ==> Are You Committing These Top Relationship
Mistakes?

Want to avoid an unpleasant break up or to stop
dating—or marrying—the same type of person over and
over again? Many people want to know why their
relationships aren’t more satisfying but don’t know
where they are going wrong. Christine B.L. Adams, a
psychiatrist and coauthor of “Living On Automatic: How
Emotional Conditioning Shapes Our Lives and
Relationships,” can help. She has identified the most
common mistakes people make that send them to her
office and will share them on your show. They include
making snap decisions about others, applying double

13. ==> Hark! Do You Hear Angels?

Christmas is the season of angels. Everywhere you look
there’s an angel, twinkling lights and bells. It’s just
the holiday, right? Sue Pighini says, “Angels are all
around us every day (right over our right shoulder) but
they can especially be felt at Christmastime.” The
former corporate executive says, “After being struck by
lightning and having a near death experience, I have
had several angelic encounters that saved my life.” Now
a transformation life coach, clinical hypnotherapist
and intuitive healer, Sue will explain what an angel
is, whether everyone has their own angels, and how to
communicate with them. Sue is the author of “Expect the
Extraordinary: Angelic Messages, Spiritual Encounters
and the Soul of Skye,” about her life-long
transformation with the help of her angelic guides.

14. ==> Make Christmas Your Own

Enjoying a memorable and meaningful Christmas season
doesn’t just happen, according to Tina Albrecht. The
author and mother of three young children says if you
usually wind up frazzled, wrung out and disappointed
this time of year, it may be time to rethink some of
your holiday traditions. “Let’s face it, if we don’t
approach the Christmas season knowing what we want to
do and experience, the commercialization and chaos will
overrun us and we’ll be left feeling, well, run over.”
Albrecht says the first and most important step is to
decide what you want to experience this holiday season.
Invite her to share a three-step plan for bringing
families closer during the holidays without the stress
that gets in the way. Tina Albrecht is the author of
“FHEasy: A Year of Weekly Teachings and Devotionals.”
FHEasy refers to family home evenings, a religious home
teaching concept practiced by LDS families like
Albrecht’s. Contact her at (970) 588-3702;

15. ==> Donny Most: Swingin’ Down the Chimney

Donny Most is best known for his role as Ralph Malph on
the television series Happy Days. Today he’s still
performing, but today it’s doing a cabaret act with a
7-piece band. And just in time for the holiday season
he’s come out with Swingin’ Down the Chimney, a new CD
featuring holiday standards. Invite Donny (or sometimes
Don) to talk about his ‘Happy Days’ experience (he
originally auditioned for the role of Ritchie
Cunningham), his famous co-stars, his role as “ginger
supremist” Rusty Pillsbury on ‘Glee’, or voicing a
number of cartoon characters. Contact Harlan Boll at

To help someone buy or sell a home, a real estate agent
needs to be 18 years old, not have a criminal
background, and pass an exam. Erik Brown says the world
of real estate is changing and you need more than a few
weeks’ training to understand what’s going on. Brown, a
realtor and entrepreneur, says, “As a nation, the US is
approaching one of the largest generational shifts in
our country. Baby boomers are aging while millennials
are growing up, and we are about to see a massive shift
in family make up, net worth, and yes, home ownership.”
Erik Brown will discuss upcoming real estate trends as
well as how to sniff out a bad agent, and what
characteristics and qualities make up a real estate
rock star. Contact Brown at (612) 408-3611;

1. ==> FBI Director James Comey – Neither Saint nor
Villain

Republican former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
on Monday slammed the FBI director’s recent actions in
the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server.
He called Comey’s actions an “error in judgment” and
said he is “somewhat perplexed about what the director
was trying to accomplish here.” Former FBI special
agent Colleen Rowley says, “Comey is neither saint nor
villain but someone who has been around the block. As
an acting Attorney General, he’s actually been in his
nominal boss’s Loretta Lynch’s exact position and knows
how the political pressures as well as media
disclosures work.” She adds, “Comey may also be an
experienced politician of sorts but his history shows
he possesses a tad more integrity than the Clintons.”
Colleen Rowley is a former FBI special agent and
division counsel. Contact her at
rowleyclan@earthlink.net; @ColeenRowley

2. ==> Israeli Peace Activist to Be Sentenced

Israeli peace activist Miko Peled was arrested during a
2012 protest in Palestine over land and fresh water
supply being taken by Jewish settlements. He was
charged with disturbing the peace, participating in an
illegal gathering and entering a closed military zone.
Though acquitted by a judge, the government of Israel
won the case on appeal and Peled is scheduled to be
sentenced on November 8th, election day here in the
U.S. He says it’s fitting. “The 2016 elections give
Americans an opportunity to speak up against the $38
Billion boondoggle in foreign aid to Israel. Israel is
a fully developed country that neither needs nor
deserves foreign aid. Much of this money will go to
activity that contravenes U.S. laws, yet both major
candidates wholeheartedly support it.” Peled will be in
New York State and then Washington, D.C. (Nov. 3 to 7)
before going to Jerusalem where he will be sentenced.
Peled’s memoir is “The General’s Son, Journey of an
Israeli in Palestine.” Contact him at
mikopeled@gmail.com; @mikopeled

3. ==> The Good, Bad and Ugly of Election Voting

Remember hanging chads? A 2016 election season of
unprecedented surprises on the campaign trail will be
no less confusing in ballot boxes across the country as
states start implementing a dizzying array of voting
rule changes. This year, states such as Texas and North
Carolina are making it harder for citizens to vote by
imposing new identification requirements at the polls.
Other states, like Florida, are disenfranchising
thousands of former felons, while in Maryland and
Virginia former felons are gaining the right to vote.
Kristin Clarke, president and executive director of the
Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law can
discuss changes to voting across the country and likely
problems voters, and especially minority voters, will
face this November. Contact Jamie Horwitz at (202)
549-4921; jhdcpr@starpower.net

4. ==> Millions Distraught over Election Choices

Author Nomi Prins says, “At the heart of American
political consciousness right now lies a soul-crushing
reality for millions of distraught Americans: the
choices for president couldn’t be feebler or more
disappointing. On the one hand, we have a petulant,
vocabulary-challenged man-boar of a billionaire, who
hasn’t paid his taxes, has regularly left those
supporting him holding the bag, and seems like a
ludicrous composite of every bad trait in every bad
date any woman has ever had. On the other hand, we’re
offered a walking photo-op for and well-paid
speechmaker to Wall-Street CEOs, a one-woman money-
raising machine from the 1 percent of the 1 percent,
who, despite a folksiness that couldn’t look more
rehearsed, has methodically outplayed her opponent.”
Prins just wrote the piece “Waking Up in Hillary
Clinton’s America: Wall Street in the Saddle.”  She’s
the author of “All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden
Alliances That Drive American Power.” Contact Jaime
Leifer at jaime.leifer@publicaffairsbooks.com,

5. ==> Trump & Clinton – Understanding Narcissists

Things aren’t looking great for Donald Trump right now
and he’s behind in most polls. Oh, and he says, the
election is rigged. Narcissism expert Rick Patterson
isn’t surprised. “Failure, to a narcissist, is a fate
worse than death.” Patterson says understanding how
narcissists function and the way shame guides their
lives is critical to understanding not only how Mr.
Trump functions in this presidential race, but how all
candidates, including Mrs. Clinton function in and out
of office. “You see it in the way Clinton needles
Trump’s sensitivity to failure – manipulating him into
making mistakes during debates and Trump’s claims that
the election is rigged even before it’s held.” Rev. Dr.
Rick Patterson is the author of the upcoming book
“Shame: The Root of All Evil” which explains how shame,
which is the source of narcissism, predicts and
manipulates our behaviors and decisions. Contact him at

6. ==> Dr. Calm Has RX for Election Stress

Sick of the election dominating the news? Tired of
watching your blood pressure rise with every WikiLeaks
leak and nasty video release? Thinking of hiding posts
of Facebook friends who do nothing but rant? Let’s face
it, many of us wish the election were in the rearview
mirror but it will drone on for another three weeks.
It’s time to call in Dr. Calm, your on-call physician
and stress-reduction expert (real name Kiran Dintyala).
Dr. Calm will lead your audience in some powerful on-
air relaxation exercises and share how to experience
serenity now—and after the election no matter who wins.
Dr. Calm is a Board Certified Internal Medicine
Physician currently practicing at Eisenhower Medical
Center in Palm Springs, CA. He also holds a master’s
degree in public health. His upcoming book is “Calm in
the Midst of Chaos.” Reach him at (860) 375 0446 or
stressfreerevolution@gmail.com

7. ==> Losing Friends Over the Election?

Whichever candidate ultimately wins the presidential
election some friendships will never be the same.
Invite psychoanalyst Frieda Birnbaum to talk about why
this election—more than previous ones—is causing more
stress on relationships and whether losing a friend
because of political differences is an indication that
the friendship wasn’t a strong one to begin with. Dr.
Birnbaum will discuss how aligning with a candidates’
values can impact how we treat others and whether
having too many friends with the same political
perspective limits your worldview perception. Dr.
Frieda Birnbaum is NYC-based research psychologist,
psychoanalyst and the author of “Life Begins at 60: A
New View on Motherhood, Marriage, and Reinventing
Ourselves.” An expert on depression, women’s issues,
and attaining happiness, she’s appeared on numerous
radio and TV programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516)
901-1103; (919) 377-1200.

8. ==> A Paradigm Shift in Choosing Politicians

Your perception of politics and politicians will
dramatically change when you hear what Marie-Anne
Lutchmaya has to say about the American electoral
process. With voter dissatisfaction at an all-time
high, she’ll share what really goes on behind the
scenes whenever voting takes place and encourage a
citizen movement which will finally put real power into
the hands of the people. Your listeners will learn how
being self-aware can empower them and avoid them being
used like pawns to further the presidential nominees’
objectives and then be discarded like useless things
when the show is over. She’ll describe how a simple
system can create a paradigm shift in the popular
perception of politics and in the way people choose
their politicians. And Marie-Anne says the system
doesn’t just work for elections, it’s applicable at
work, school, home and even church.  Marie-Anne
Lutchmaya’s latest book is “The American Voter’s
Election Guide: Scapegoat to Strategist.” Contact her
at academe@wol.be

9. ==> How to Prepare for the Post-Election Market
Crash

The majority of the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks
voted to raise interest rates during their two most
recent meetings. Yet, the Fed board decided to hold the
discount rate steady and kept the main benchmark
interest rate unchanged. Could the fact that this is a
U.S. presidential election year have anything to do
with this? Did you know that the sub-prime crash of
2008 and the dot-com crash of 2000 both occurred during
U.S. presidential election years? Politics, the stock
market and our personal finances are linked in ways
that few people truly understand, according to
financial life coach, investor and certified financial
planner Roel Sarmago[L1]. Invite Coach Roel to share
five ways people can financially protect themselves and
profit from the inevitable global market crash that
will happen after the U.S. presidential election. Coach
Roel worked in the mutual fund industry and is now a
real estate investor, options trader and entrepreneur.
He is the author of “Undiscovered Riches: Find Your
Hidden Wealth.” Contact him at (647) 494-7880
(Ontario); roel@coachroel.com

10. ==> Obamacare – What Happens Next?

The Affordable Care Act—Obamacare— is in trouble. It’s
extended health insurance coverage to fewer people than
promised, in many parts of the country, insurers are
abandoning the market due to financial losses, and even
those covered face double digit premium increases and
deductibles that are hundreds of percent higher than
before. Supporters say the problems can be fixed but
critics insist that Obamacare is mortally wounded, and
should be euthanized. Invite Philip Romero and Randy
Miller to help your listeners make sense of the health
policy being debated this presidential election season.
You’ll hear how health costs have grown more than twice
as fast as incomes, why the health sector now consumes
almost one in five dollars in our economy, and the
blind spots that Democrats and Republicans each have
about health care. Romero is a finance professor and
former business dean at the University of Oregon, as
well as twice chief economist to the governor of
California. Randy Miller is an insurance and public
finance specialist. Their book “Health Financing
Without Deficits: Reform that Sidesteps Political
Gridlock” outlines a new way to finance health care.

12. ==> The Real Reason Kids Get Sick after Halloween

Every year schools report low attendance following
Halloween. Kids are unable to attend school as they
suffer from flu, fever and so on immediately after
Halloween. Parents blame it on the sugar content in
chocolates and sweets children get on Halloween, but
Zeeshan Raza believes that’s not the real cause. He
says, “The real cause is the negative dark energy
generated by dressing up in dark evil characters and
being surrounded by frightening decorations. It
actually weakens their immune systems making them
vulnerable to diseases. Then, when they have candy,
they start falling sick.” Raza will explain how energy
can impact your health and body and share ways parents
can prevent kids from getting sick. Zeeshan Raza is an
author, speaker and coach who teaches people how to
heal using their own feelings and emotions. His book is
“U Turn Your Life.” Contact him at (416) 858-4788;

13. ==> Physical Therapy for Ta-Tas?

When you think of physical therapy the body parts that
come to mind are arms, legs and knees—not breasts. But
according to Marianne Ryan, a physical therapist who
specializes in women’s health, men and women should be
aware that breasts—particularly those of breastfeeding
women that are sore due to blocked milk ducts—can also
benefit from ultrasound, massage and exercise regimens
provided by a physical therapist. Ryan, who operates
one of only two New York City-based PT clinics that
offer this special type of therapy, can also explain
other things couples can do to make nursing moms and
their spouses feel better quicker. Ryan is a board
certified orthopedic clinical specialist certified
orthopedic clinical specialist with more than 30 years’
experience treating prenatal and postpartum women.
She’s taught at Columbia University School of Nursing
and appeared on dozens of national TV and radio shows.

Today, and the Wall Street Journal. Contact her at

14. ==> Is Your Childhood Running Your Life?

Do you ever wonder why you do the things you do? It may
be because your childhood is hijacking your adult life.
Interview Michelle Nagel, an author and resilient
survivor of child abuse, for a discussion on ways
growing up poor, losing a parent to death or to
divorce, jail or drugs or alcohol or other adverse
childhood experiences may be leading to bad choices on
your part today. She’ll reveal a test you can take to
find out if you have an adverse childhood experience
impacting your life and discover the power that comes
with acknowledging your past. She will discuss some
simple techniques that, if implemented, can change your
life. Over the past 15 years, Nagel, the president of
Soul Shift, Inc., has been guiding clients through the
process of overcoming their traumatic past and finding
internal peace and serenity. Contact her at (541)

15. ==> That’s Weird! New Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

A mountain lion with teeth growing out of the top of
its head? A fire drill where students have to run
through real fire? Octopus wrestling as a sport? These
stories have a couple things in common; they’re all
100% true and they’re all in the new book “Ripley’s
Believe It or Not! Unlock the Weird!” This is Ripley’s
annual collection of strange stories, amazing

Lee Romanov loves her English bull terrier Shiner,
probably just as much as you love your dog. But unlike
your pooch, Shiner has his own money-making website,
WhoLetTheDogIn.com, which Lee created for him. Shiner,
who clearly has a nose for business, can’t write, of
course, but he can charm other people into sending him
their pet stories and pictures to build free web
content while he cleverly gets humans to click on ads,
and he recommends dog walkers, pet sitters, vets and
other pet-related providers who pay him for the leads.
Lee uses Shiner’s exploits to prove that anybody can
make money online, even a dog, and even you. Invite Lee
on-air to share how simple it would be for your
audience members to put their dog—or cat—in business
without having a lot to bone up on. She should know
because she has made a fortune through her own online
ventures. Reach her at (949) 877-0173;
