1. ==> The Future of Crypto Under Trump

It’s no secret that Donald Trump is a fan of cryptocurrency, so how will his tenure in the White House affect the state of crypto over the next four years? Attorney JR Lanis says major cryptocurrencies have already appreciated significantly since Trump’s election. Lanis, one of only a handful of U.S. attorneys who fully understands the impact of the new Trump presidency on the future of cryptocurrency, will discuss how this “futuristic” technology is changing the way money is exchanged. Ask him: Who will regulate this relatively new “new currency” and what do those de-or re-regulations look like? How can people safeguard such an investment? Now that Bitcoin is traded via ETF, will other cryptocurrencies be next? JR Lanis is partner at BakerHostetler Law Company. He often appears in the media commenting on breaking news and has been quoted in “The Wall Street Journal” and “Law360” and on Bloomberg news and CNBC.

2. ==> How Trump’s Second Term Will Differ From First

When President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated in January, he’ll assume the powers of the presidency with a sense of what he wants to accomplish and how to get it done. David Samuels, editor of the magazine “County Highway,” can discuss what will be different about Trump’s second stint in the Oval Office. Ask him: What new policies might Trump pursue that he was unable to achieve in his first term, and what obstacles would he face in implementing them? How might Trump’s approach to foreign policy differ in a second term, especially in relation to allies and adversaries? Will Trump focus more on reversing Biden administration policies, or will he aim to set entirely new legislative priorities? Samuels, a longtime writer for “Harper’s,” “The New Yorker” and other magazines, started “County Highway” during the Covid lockdowns when many people became disillusioned with big city life, leading some to move to rural areas. The publication is rooted in the idea that counties are the perfect-sized communities for storytelling, drawing inspiration from real and fictional American counties.

3. ==> Harvard Study – Being Thankful Helps You Live Longer

Are you having a tough time feeling thankful this year? When you are struggling with finances, dealing with grief or upset over politics, it’s difficult to count your blessings. It may help to consider that science says practicing gratitude can help you live longer. In a recent Harvard University study, researchers monitored nearly 50,000 women for three years and found those who reported having a “long list” of things to be grateful for actually lived the longest. As you prepare to consider the things in life for which you are most grateful this Thanksgiving, invite award-winning journalist Peter Lovenheim to share ways to cultivate gratitude. His new book, “Gift Shop of Gratitude: A Journal to Explore the Journey of Your Life,” is a workbook that helps you recall and organize memories by thinking of 20 common gift shop souvenirs. Snow globes and ball caps to t-shirts, postcards, and jewelry. The exercises reveal what people, places, and life experiences you hold dear and what memories each of the items bring back for you. Peter is an author and journalist whose articles and essays have appeared in the “New York Times,” “New York Magazine,” “The Los Angeles Times,” “Parade,” “Politico,” “The Washington Post,” and other publications.

4. ==> 3-Minute Practice to Stave Off the Winter Blues

The clocks have officially been set back and we’re settling into shorter days and longer nights. For many, the end of daylight savings marks the beginning of the winter blues. But there’s no need to fear because Dr. Greg Hammer is eager to share his tried-and-true mindfulness practice that will help boost your mental resilience and give you the tools to thrive during the frigid winter months. He’ll teach listeners a 3-minute tool to combat negative thoughts and rewire the brain with daily practice. He’ll also discuss what it is about winter that makes us feel more prone to anxiety, depression, and burnout, ways to deal with chronic stress and the importance of getting outside. “SAD affects 20% of adults in the US—6% are severely affected and 14% suffer to some degree. In a time when anxiety and depression have already been skyrocketing due to social, political, and economic unrest, it’s more important than ever to take preventative measures to protect our mental health from a seasonal decline,” he says. Greg Hammer, M.D., is a recently retired professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, wellness and mindfulness lecturer, and the author of “GAIN without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals.” Contact Mackenzie August at (661) 255-8283; mackenzie@steveallenmedia.com

5. ==> Good News/Bad News About Young Cancer Survivors

Fortunately, cancer is increasingly becoming a treatable disease, especially for those diagnosed in their 20s, 30s and 40s, but experts say too little attention is paid to the quality of life young people are left to live when they’re no longer actively undergoing medical treatment. Alison Silberman, CEO of Stupid Cancer, a group for people affected by young-adult cancer, says they have so much life to live, their needs are greater and more complex. She says often their educational, financial, or social concerns go ignored or undiscussed, leaving them unprepared. “A lot of these survivorship questions are being asked too late, and they’ve lost years where they could have prepared for it,” she says. Things like whether to preserve fertility, how to keep social and educational connections, or how to budget for out-of-pocket costs of aftercare and manage disruptions in career and income. “Those conversations need to happen earlier and they need to happen more often.” Silberman herself lost a beloved 24-year-old younger brother who died following a grueling 18-month bout with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, and the punishing treatments. “It kind of put a halt to my life,” says Silberman of caretaking and mourning him, which prompted her to pursue patient advocacy.

Author, coach, and therapist Lisa Morgan endured the kind of trauma that many might not survive. Her childhood was marked by extreme terror, trauma, sexual abuse, violence, and neglect. As a result, her body, mind, heart, and soul resorted to two profound levels of spiritual survival; what Lisa describes as “soul fracturing” and “100 percent total amnesia.” “Traditional psychiatry would label this as multiple personality disorder with repressed memories,” she says.

13. ==> Does America Need a National Divorce? This Guest Says Yes

Americans are more divided than they have been in decades, and author Taylor Woodruff blames Democrats whom he feels have abandoned God, country, civility and the Constitution. He also is convinced that the only solution is for the country to undergo a “divorce.” “There are dueling platforms of morality within our culture that cannot coexist or compromise with each other,” he says. “There are traditional morals and values in one area, and secular morals and values in another. There cannot ever be unity between the two platforms of morality. The only way to remedy this is to divide as a nation.” He is the author of “The Case for National Divorce, One Christian’s Perspective.” Contact Taylor Woodruff at (252) 888-5892; twoodruff@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Can This Hypnotherapist Really Talk to Aliens?

Dennett’s latest book, “Follow the Pipelines,” includes a dozen pipeline maps covering World War II to the present, showing how the distribution of fossil fuels via pipelines has resulted in military protection of the pipelines, often leading to war.

2. ==> What the Hegseth? Veterans Oppose Pentagon Pick

President-elect Donald Trump’s surprise pick of military veteran and popular conservative media personality Pete Hegseth as his Pentagon chief shocked Washington. It also drew immediate backlash from veterans group leaders who opposed him when he was floated for Veterans Affairs secretary during Trump’s first term. He is a former executive director for Vets for Freedom and former CEO of Concerned Veterans for America — a group advocating for the outsourcing of health care for veterans that was funded by the Koch brothers. “Hegseth is undoubtedly the least qualified nominee for SecDef in American history. And the most overtly political. Brace yourself, America,” Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Independent Veterans of America, said in a post on X. Rieckhoff said he had believed that Hegseth — “a highly effective and ferocious media, culture and political warrior for MAGA. And beyond loyal to and trusted by Trump” — would be Trump’s pick for chief of staff or press secretary. Rieckhoff, a national thought leader and recognized and respected media and political fixture for over 20 years, started Righteous Media, an independent media company, and hosts its flagship show. For interviews contact Press@IndependentVeteransOfAmerica.org

3. ==> The Trump Plan to Crush Political Dissent

The House is set to vote on a bill that would let the administration destroy nonprofits it claims support terrorism. The resolution has already prompted strong opposition from a wide range of civil society groups, with more than 100 organizations signing an open letter issued by the American Civil Liberties Union in September. The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence. In the past year, accusations of support for terrorism have been freely lobbed at student protesters, aid workers in Gaza, and even mainstream publications like the New York Times. Opponents of the bill say that in unscrupulous hands, the powers of the proposed law could essentially turn the Treasury Department into an enforcement arm of Canary Mission and other hardline groups dedicated to doxxing and smearing their opponents as terrorists. Sue Udry, executive director of Defending Rights & Dissent, has been tracking the legislation. Invite her to discuss what passing the measure would mean for politics and the average -citizen.

4. ==> Trump’s Win Means Losses for Women and Children

While Trump supporters celebrate his recent win, retired psychiatrist and social activist Shila Patel warns that this will have dire consequences for the women and children of this country. “Women are already dying in states with extreme abortion laws because they are being denied care for miscarriages,” she says. “Trump has also vowed to make deep cuts to social service programs and education, which will have a very negative impact on children.” Patel can share the details of how this will impact average Americans, and why she believes this will be harmful. Shila Patel, M.D., is the author of the three-book series “Us,” “US Unhinged,” and “US Fractured.” She is a retired psychiatrist who spent her career focused on women’s and children’s issues.

6. ==> Who Gets Social Media Followers in a Divorce?

Social media content-creating couples can make a pretty penny peddling carefully curated images on the internet. But just like every other couple, they sometimes split and family law attorney Allyson D. Burger says in this “Influencer” Era, new emerging issues are sure to arise. “Many couples derive significant income from their shared social media presence, through advertising deals and sponsorships. Just as with any other marital asset to be distributed at the time of divorce, careful consideration must go into determining what happens to the family brand in the event of a dissolution,” she says. Ask her: How are social media accounts typically viewed in divorce cases? If one spouse built a following for their business or brand, would the other spouse be entitled to a share of its value? Are there ways to legally prevent an ex-spouse from interfering with my social media accounts or followers? Allyson D. Burger is a family law attorney and partner with Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein LLP. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103; Ryan@goldmanmccormick.com

1. ==> Trump and Iran: Return of the Warmongers?

How will President-elect Donald Trump handle the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East during a second term? Brian Hook, a special envoy for Iran in the first Trump administration and known as a major Iran hawk who helped lead the ‘maximum pressure’ campaign of sanctions, sabotage, and assassinations that characterized Trump’s approach to Tehran, has been appointed to help oversee the formation of a new foreign policy team. Trisi Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, says, “The Trump administration’s approach towards Iran depends very much on who he chooses to staff his administration. In his first term he was sold on an idea by people like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton that Iran could be sanctioned and pressured into oblivion, but that was an approach more likely to deliver war than an agreement.” He says, “The Iranian view is that Trump himself wants to make a deal, but it depends on whether he appoints the same neoconservatives as last time to his administration.” Contact Trita Parsi at trita@quincyinst.org; @tparsi

However, issue by issue, I could not think of an example that lined up with the word of God that I was preaching.” He is the author of “Christians Must Vote,” as well as the co-founder and senior pastor at the World Church in Texas.
