=======================================
1. ==> Court TV Anchor on Trump Lawsuit to Block Records
President Donald Trump is going to court to try to
block a Democratically-controlled congressional
committee from obtaining his financial records through
a subpoena. The lawsuit is the first case where Trump
has sued to try to stymie House Democrats’
investigations into the President. But the court filing
is only the first skirmish in what’s likely to be a
multi-front war between House Democrats and Trump, the
White House and the President’s businesses. Invite
Court TV’s Julie Grant to talk about the legalities
involved. Grant will be an anchor when Court TV
launches in early May. The former Assistant District
Attorney of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) was also
legal editor, anchor and reporter at KDKA-TV. Contact
Mark Goldman at Mark@goldmanmccormick.com or call/text
(516) 639-0988.
2. ==> Will Senate Override Trump on Yemen War?
President Donald Trump’s veto of a joint resolution to
put an end to U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in
Yemen is going to kick the matter back to senators when
they return to the Capitol next week. Shireen Al-
Adeimi, an assistant professor of education at Michigan
State University is originally from Yemen and can
explain the situation there. She says, “This brutal and
ongoing onslaught has taken the lives of more than
60,000 Yemenis and left half the population — 14
million people — on the verge of famine. What began as
a civil war in Yemen escalated into what the United
Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
Yemen became an international killing field, with Saudi
Arabia leading a vicious bombing campaign, which the
Obama and then Trump administrations helped unleash. As
the political tide in the United States finally turns
against the war, we must not let its early proponents —
and those who remained silent — whitewash their
misdeeds. We must be willing to look honestly at what
the United States has done to the Yemeni people, so
that we can finally end this war, and prevent similar
atrocities in the future.” Contact Shireen Al-Adeimi at

3. ==> Youth Political Poll: Nobody Cares About Us and We’re Anxious
The latest Harvard Institute Of Politics (IOP) Youth
Poll indicates young voters between 18 and 29 years old
are experiencing anxiety as much as joy, don’t think
baby boomer voters or elected officials care about
them, and are increasingly concerned about the moral
direction of the nation. “It is no secret that social
media has exacerbated the stress and anxiety that is
already so prevalent in the late-teen and early-
adulthood years of young Americans. However, for the
first time, we now have evidence that the state of our
politics is contributing to the mental health
challenges millions of young Americans already face,”
says John Della Volpe, director of polling for the
Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School. “To
empower young voters, to persuade them to vote requires
candidates willing to share and align their values with
this emerging generation — and understanding the
stress inherent in our politics today is a critical
first step.” The Institute of Politics at Harvard
Kennedy School was established in 1966 as a living
memorial to President John F. Kennedy. Since 2000, the
student-led Harvard Public Opinion Project has provided
the most comprehensive look at the political opinions,
voting trends, and views on public service held by
young Americans. Contact Volpe at harvardiop@gmail.com;

4. ==> Interview Richard Pryor Jr.
Imagine having Richard Pryor as your dad? Invite
Richard Pryor Jr. on your show and hear how his self-
proclaimed “Freakish Life” paralleled his famous
father’s and namesake in many ways. Raised by his
mother and grandparents while his dad was on tour,
Richard Pryor Jr. attended public school in Peoria,
Illinois and spent summers with his father. That’s when
Pryor says he developed his own love of performing,
which he’s been doing in one way or another ever since.
Ask Prior about his grandmother’s brothel, his own
battles with alcohol and drug addiction, what his
father said when he told him he was working as a female
impersonator, how and why he became a minister, and why
he was blamed for his father’s death. Richard Pryor
Jr.’s new book is “In A Pryor Life.” Contact Harlan
Boll at (626) 296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com
5. ==> What Moms Need Most: Really Good Laughs
Unless they have a brother or two, most women are
genuinely surprised by just how amusing, gross, and
silly their sons can be. Diane Auten was no exception.
“Kids are the most hysterical and entertaining beings
on Earth,” Auten says. Knowing what a difficult job
motherhood can be, Auten wants to give mothers
everywhere a priceless present—the ability to laugh
aloud and compare notes on the funny situations little
boys naturally create around them. Being a ‘boymom’ is
totally optional to enjoying this topic! Auten will
share surprising things little boys say about sex and
their bodies, what makes the mother-son bond so
special, and how to connect better with the boys in our
lives. Auten, a professor of speech communication,
wrote down the crazy questions her young sons asked and
recorded the conversations that ensued. The stories
were such a big hit on social media they became the
foundation of her ‘momoir,’ “The Joys of Raising Boys:
the Good, the Bad, and the Hilarious.” Contact her at
(805) 215-1324; DAuten@rtirguests.com
6. ==> How to Survive a Crazy Mom
Not everyone lives with June Cleaver. In fact, few moms
live up to that artificial standard. What happens when
Mom is the polar opposite? You have a few choices –
ignore her, walk away, deal with it or let yourself get
as crazy as she is. Sometimes you do them all. Annie
Evans knows. She’s been there and done that. She will
give you a show to remember as she tells her experience
– exploring the mother/daughter relationship at its
very core. Evans will help audiences learn how to
recover from non-existent parenting and broken trust.
She’ll offer ways to overcome the effects, and even
PTSD, that a mother’s mental illness leaves behind.

7. ==> A Mother’s Day Show about a Son’s Love
This Mother’s Day share the incredible, true story of a
son and his unending love for his mother. Invite Marty
Vargas on your show and hear about his journey as a
young man from California wine country searching for
his estranged mother of 20 years and eventually finding
her homeless on the streets of Philadelphia, not
looking for rescue. Marty’s love for his birth mom was
tested time and time again but eventually prevails,
overcoming her rejection, spitting in his face, and
fear. This wonderful human-interest story is also a
tale of two mothers. His birth mother AND the one who
took him in and raised him, and hid the truth before
eventually giving him the information and courage to go
on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
media owner, author and speaker. His incredible true
story has been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC
Philadelphia and Fox News Washington, DC. Contact Marty
at (631) 246-0790; MVargas@rtirguests.com
8. ==> The College Lie that Caused the Bribery Scandal
College advisors Lindy and Tom Schneider say if Lori
Loughlin, Felicity Huffman, and the dozens of wealthy
parents caught up in Operation Varsity Blues knew
anything about how to help their kids succeed in life
they would never have become involved in a college
bribery scandal to get their children into an elite
school. Lindy says it doesn’t matter where you go, what
matters is what you do when you’re there! “Many highly
successful people, CEOs, celebrities, and entrepreneurs
did not go to Ivy League schools, but they were
intentional about making quality connections while they
were students,” says Lindy. The Schneiders will discuss
how to make the most of your college experience, how
many years it really takes to get a degree, and why
socializing isn’t just a college distraction! Lindy and
Tom Schneider are the authors of “College Secrets of
Highly Successful People: Keys to Launching a Great
Life.” Contact Lindy Schneider at (602) 562-8669;

9. ==> What the FBI Got Right!
John Smith was an ordinary guy who spent 5 years in
public accounting only to get caught up in the S&L
crisis during the 1980’s. As far as he was concerned
everything at his company was above board – until the
FBI came knocking! He came to realize the extent of his
employer’s wrongdoing – and that you don’t have to
commit a crime to be convicted of one. Interview John
to hear his incredible true story of perseverance and
grit. His warning to your audience is this – If it can
happen to him… it can happen to YOU. Smith worked
diligently with the FBI for years, helping to put away
the guilty people involved. Fifteen years after his
sentencing they finally admitted that he should never
have been prosecuted in the first place – and
encouraged him to apply for a Presidential Pardon! John
Smith is the author of “Embracing the Abyss” and a
keynote speaker on ethics and integrity in the
workplace and in life. Contact him at (214) 216-2199;

10. ==> 5 Reasons Why the U.S. Peace Plan Will Signal
End-Times
The Trump administration is putting the finishing
touches on its new peace plan for Israel—one that Jared
Kushner is consulting on. While we wait to see what is
in the plan, Richard Ruhling, M.D., will deliver five
reasons it will fail and why he believes the Apocalypse
will follow. Dr. Ruhling can explain the real-world
events to watch for that he believes will kick off the
Apocalypse in May. His latest book is “9-11: How 9-11
Links in Christ’s Last Parables Show End-Times Begin
This Spring.” He will provide a free copy to all
interviewers. Dr. Ruhling taught Health Science at Loma
Linda University and has been on dozens of talk shows
focusing on health, current events, and prophecy.

11. ==> He Says What Abused Children Cannot
According to the National Children’s Alliance, nearly
700,000 children are abused in the U.S annually and
four out of five abusers are the children’s own
parents. Wade Meadows was abused by his mother and now
uses a pseudonym to protect his identity. During the
month of April, for Child Abuse Prevention Month,
invite Wade on your program to say what most abused
children cannot, giving words to their anguish and also
offering hope too; Wade was able to end generations of
child abuse with the family he raised. He can talk
about what it was like growing up with a mother who
constantly told him he was worthless—and how he was
able to forgive her. He can share five things parents
should never say to their kids and ways concerned
adults can help to stop this heartbreaking problem.
Wade is the author of “Letters From the Ashes” and
“Ashes Forged Into Manhood.” Contact him at (225)

12. ==> Sandwiched Boomers Feel the Squeeze: Expert
Shares Easy Financial Fix
With the state of health care today many people live in
fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out
their savings, creating a financial maelstrom that
their family would never recover from. 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 any more can generate the cash to pay
hospital bills… get out of debt… or even make a cash
gift to the non-profit of their choice! How is this
possible? The little-known secret is that when you
don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it
off! Find out how! David Kottler combines his legal and
business experience with a passion for philanthropy.

Policy” details everything your audience needs to know

13. ==> When ‘for Better or Worse’ Gets REALLY, REALLY Bad
We all experience forgetfulness. We walk into a room
and can’t remember why we went there. For the twentieth
time, we can’t find those darn keys. We space out on
names and can’t remember appointments. But what happens
when it’s something much more serious and it happens to
the women — who you said you would love until death do
you part? Listeners will learn the answers from sought-
after interview guest Carlen Maddux, as he shares his
wife’s story and his 17 years as her caregiver. Maddux,
author of “A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy
Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s,” knows the
challenges and delights (Yes, delights) of care giving.
His wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at only 50 and
lived for another seventeen years. It shook the
foundation of his family and marriage, and challenged
his idea of what it takes to really be a man. Their
story of everyday survival, love and loss is inspiring.
He turned care giving from a burden into a privilege.

14. ==> This M.D. Has the Cure for Stress!
Show of hands: How many people wish they had less
stress? How many wish they weren’t burned out and had
more time for themselves? Hands down. The truth is we
all would like to celebrate Stress Awareness Month in
April—and every month thereafter—by having less stress,
more joy and more energy for what matters most to us.
Saundra Dalton-Smith, M.D., says the way to do this is
to reduce your “work-rest deficit.” Let her explain
what this means and how to do it by catching up on the
seven different types of rest you did not even know
existed. Dr. Saundra has been quoted in such major
media as Prevention magazine and Woman’s Day. She is
the author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew
Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.” Contact her at (256)

15. ==> What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You
Did you know it’s possible to reverse every disease?
That medicines don’t cure diseases – they are simply
managing the disease at the cost of side effects? That
not all “good” foods are good for everyone? Reena
Jadhav knows first-hand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She’ll share
short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought her
way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an auto-
immune illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for
years. A highly successful tech entrepreneur, educated
at Wharton and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal
story of surviving two major illnesses before the age
of 50. Reena is the author of the HealJournal and
creator of the New Health Pyramid. Her newest book
“Healed” empowers people to take back their health
using science. Contact Reena Jadhav at (650) 309-1005;

16. ==> Does Baby Talk Make Kids Less Creative?
Baby talk is hard for adults to resist. When
communicating with a toddler or a baby, we are more
likely to say, “Look at that doggie!” than “Look at
that greyhound!” Montessori teacher and educator Sharon
Quinn says, “We have a tendency to use a dumb-down way
of communicating with kids that hampers their
creativity. Yet until age 7, kids’ brains are like a
giant sponge capable of processing copious amounts of
information.” Interview Sharon to learn how to maximize
your baby’s ability to learn and communicate from the
get-go and they, in turn, will be able to tell you if
their diaper is wet, if they want juice and even why
they are crying. She is the founder of Window to the
World, a company devoted to helping people achieve
educational excellence and optimal spiritual health and
well-being. She’s a workshop leader, inspirational
speaker, weekly radio talk show co-host and author.

17. ==> Got a Big Dilemma? Call the Decision Doctor
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. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. 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. Terrie will share her
powerful story with your audience and explain how her
three-step decision making process makes any decision
easier to make. Terrie Novak works in software

a three-step process she created to help heal herself.

18. ==> Can You Really Heal Yourself Without Drugs?
The first thing we typically reach for when we’re ill
is a drug, but is that really the best choice?
Certified wellness coach Cam Miller says it’s possible
to heal the body naturally without medications, so you
have more energy, look younger, and feel better. Invite
her to reveal the 3 main contributing factors to good
health. Her upcoming documentary, The Green Drank Tour,
follows an overweight woman’s journey across America to
help overweight residents learn the benefits of a
plant-based diet. Former First Lady Michelle Obama has
praised Miller’s “efforts to improve the health of
Americans.” Ask Cam: What’s the best way to eliminate
disease? How can a vegan lifestyle improve your health?
What are the 3 best healing herbs and supplements? How
can you detox? Contact Cam Miller at 480-757-2151 (AZ);

19. ==> Your Dreams Are Telling You Something… But What?
Did you know your dreams are actually conversations you
have with yourself about very specific issues in your
life that you’re trying to solve? Why does that matter
and what can you do with that information? Dream
analyst Layne Dalfen says, “The solution you’re looking
for about what (or who) in your life is bugging you
will appear in your unconscious mind before it gets to
your conscious one. That means you can propel your
problem solving skills… if only you knew what the heck
you were saying to yourself when you had the dream!”
Dalfen will explain how dream analysis gives you the
power to decide how you want to respond to people and
situations in your life. Layne has appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and podcasts. She LOVES call-in radio
because she is terrific at thinking on her feet, using
her uncanny gift to describe a dream AND plan a course
of action. Layne Dalfen teaches dream analysis at
Concordia University in Montreal. Contact her at (514)

20. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Cowgirl’ at Any Age
As she entered middle age, Sandra Matheson found
herself divorced, unable to continue her career as a
veterinarian due to work-related chemical
sensitivities, and stuck with a money-losing farm where
she was beaten-up by a cow! But she picked herself up,
dusted herself off and set out on a successful career
as a lady rancher, which became a metaphor for her
life. “Getting older doesn’t mean we have one foot in
the grave,” she says. “We can seize life and wrangle
what we want, make hay while the sun still shines and
embrace our maturity, use what we have learned, do what
we want, and have some fun!” Sandra decided to parlay
her lifelong affiliation with farming into a successful
career as a rancher, and can share valuable tips for
finding late life success and joy. Sandra’s upcoming
book is “Thrive After 40: How to Seize Life and Grow
Your Dreams!” Contact her at (360) 325-4221;
