What began as a side hustle crafting chic laptop cases has grown into a nationwide brand with 14 retail locations and a cult following.Clare shares how her business was born out of necessity in the early 2000s, when stylish laptop carriers were nowhere to be found.

In this episode of Handbag Designer 101, we take a nostalgic stroll through handbag history with none other than Monica Botkier, the visionary behind the iconic Trigger Bag and founder of Botkier and Chosen Woven. From her early days sneaking into fashion shows as a rebellious NYC teen to navigating the fast-paced world of accessories, Monica shares her remarkable journey of hustle, heart, and handbags.Before making her mark in fashion, Monica was an NYU student with a passion for photography and an eye for detail. Her leap from behind the camera to designing one of the most recognizable bags in early-2000s fashion is a story of timing, instinct, and pure creative drive. We explore the high highs and tough lessons learned—from celeb knock-off scandals to evolving with the demands of the digital age.
In an interview on “Palestine Talks” by TRT World, Max Blumenthal dissects Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, exposing Western complicity and the profit-driven motives behind arms and tech industries.

Connecticut Governor Lamont says he's considering a third term. U.S. Senator Blumenthal proposed a bill to help gun violence victims. Some Long Island fishermen are suing the President. Plus, the controversy surrounding the first flight.
On today’s Stinchfield, we are calling out the disgraceful, reckless behavior of Senators Richard Blumenthal, Lindsey Graham, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. These men—none of whom are authorized to negotiate on behalf of the United States—waltzed into Ukraine just days before Ukraine launched a full-scale attack on Russia. Coincidence? Don’t count on it. This is not diplomacy. This is a blatant violation of the Logan Act, and worse—it’s a dangerous provocation that could drag America into a global conflict. Who the hell do these people think they are, undermining any shot at peace while playing pretend statesman in a foreign war zone? The Deep State and warmongers in BOTH parties are out of control, and today, we’re blowing the lid off it. These men should be investigated, not applauded. Tune in and hear the truth the cowards in the media won’t touch. This isn’t leadership — it’s treasonous theater.

In this episode, an idea suggested by my conversationalist, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr Stephen Blumenthal, we explore the big, painful emotion of loss.We tend to body swerve feeling or thinking about loss, and who can blame us? It hurts, it's horrible. But loss is essential to growth - think of a snake shedding its skin. In order to go onto the next stage we need to leave the one we're at.But there's normal loss such as leaving school or a job, and traumatic loss where everything comes at once, like an unexpected or early death or devastating news. This takes far longer to process. Note: process not get over.The loss I've noticed most people don't want to talk about is death, dying, illness and the accompanying grief and yet, as Dr B tells us, if it's managed ‘well' post traumatic growth can be rich. But where would loss be without hope? There has to be hope to make loss's losses easier to bear.

The very busy actress, Laila Robins, was recently seen in Ryan Murphy's anthology series, American Horror Stories. She also has a recurring role as Colonel Grace Mallory on the hugely popular Amazon series, The Boys. Laila starred opposite Amanda Seyfried in the Apple+ limited series, The Crowded Room and opposite Joshua Jackson and Alec Baldwin in the Hulu limited series, Dr. Death. She also recurred memorably as Katarina Rostova on the hit NBC series The Blacklist, and she had a major arc playing Pamela Milton on the final season of AMC's The Walking Dead. Among, Laila's many film appearances are: Eye in the Sky, Side Effects, Blumenthal, Concussion, The Good Shepherd, An Innocent Man, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael, True Crime, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. You may have also seen her in such TV series as: The Handmaid's Tale, Homeland, Deception, 30 Rock, So Help Me Todd, Bull, Person of Interest, Blue Bloods, Damages, In Treatment, The Sopranos, Law and Order, and the series lead in Gabriel's Fire opposite the late, legendary James Earl Jones. Laila's work on Broadway includes Heartbreak House, the Tony-nominated play Frozen, and The Real Thing, as well as Off-Broadway in: the quartet of Richard Nelson's Apple Family plays. She's also appeared around the U.S. in numerous stage performances in shows such as: The Lady from Dubuque, Antony and Cleopatra, A Midsummer's Night's Dream, Sore Throats, Tiny Alice, Mrs. Klein, The Merchant of Venice, and many productions at The Guthrie in her hometown of St. Paul/Minneapolis, including Hedda Gabler and The Lion in Winter. Over the years, I've enjoyed quite a few of Laila's on-screen performances in shows of which I'm a big fan, including everything she did in The Walking Dead, Homeland, The Blacklist and The Boys. Laila never hits a false note even when the stories in which she's acting brilliantly defy reality.Of note: Laila also happens to be married to a favorite StoryBeat guest, and someone to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude, the phenomenal actor and singer, Robert Cuccioli, who originated the roles of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde in the musical I created with Frank Wildhorn, Jekyll & Hyde.
President Trump unveiled a long list of countries and territories getting hit with tariffs, and said they were being punished for unfair trade practices. Interestingly enough, while these tariffs were announced, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal announced new legislation that would slap 500 percent tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium or other products. We spoke with Senator Blumenthal about all the tariffs talk this week. Image Credit: Getty images

In the second half of an extended interview Jeremy and George are joined by New York Times journalist Ralph Blumenthal, co-author of the game-changing 2017 UFO story. The trio dive deep into the life of Dr. John Mack, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist who dared to take alien abduction seriously - and paid a steep price for it. The journalists unpack Mack's desperate fight to preserve his tenure during a secret Harvard 'inquisition' in the 1990s, his courageous expedition to the African town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe, to investigate the astonishing 1994 close encounter witnessed by 60 schoolchildren, and his provocative theories linking UFO incidents to paranormal experiences. Blumenthal pulls back the curtain on a man who saw a universe far stranger than we're told, from abductions to crop circles and beyond. But the story doesn't end with Mack. Blumenthal shares insider perspectives on the modern UFO frontier - why whistleblowers still fear coming forward, and the uphill battle for full disclosure in a skeptical world. This episode is a call to arms for independent journalism to uncover what's really out there, revealing the challenges of reporting the unreportable and the relentless pursuit of the unknown.

In the eight decades since the modern UFO era began, few dates are as monumentally important as Dec. 16, 2017. That is when The New York Times published a blockbuster story about a secretive government investigation into alarming and ongoing encounters between U.S. military units and unidentified machines of unknown origin - machines that appear to be far more advanced than any technology known to exist on Earth. The fact that The New York Times, regarded as "the paper of record" and possibly the most respected news platform in the country, plastered the UFO exposé on the front page of its Dec. 17 edition sent shockwaves through American journalism, grabbed the attention of Congress, and reignited public interest in a subject that had been largely ignored or ridiculed - not only by The Times, but by nearly every major news organization in the Western world. The ripple effects from that report are still unfolding more than seven years later. The three journalists who worked on the story - Helene Cooper, Leslie Kean, and Ralph Blumenthal - somehow managed to overcome decades of government disinformation, scientific ridicule, and editorial scorn to get the story into the paper. Blumenthal, a brilliant, award-winning newsman, staked his reputation and career on that one report. How did he and his colleagues pull it off? What other secrets did they uncover that never made it into print? In a candid and highly personal conversation, Blumenthal reveals to Jeremy and George the difficulties that confronted the three journalists, including blowback from their colleagues, arguments with editors, and the conspiracy theories espoused by the loudest voices in the always rancorous UFO community. The story about AATIP, Tic Tac, Elizondo, Harry Reid, and other key players was not Blumenthal's entry point to the UFO debate. He was already investigating the life and career of a brilliant, mercurial, and flawed trailblazer - a Harvard psychiatrist named Dr. John Mack. Like the late Dr. Mack, Blumenthal suspects that the personal encounters between humans and non-humans, as reported by tens of thousands of people all over the world, might be far more important than the competition between world powers to master the technological secrets stashed deep inside the bowels of black-world programs.

In this explosive interview, Max Blumenthal joins Judge Napolitano to dissect the shifting dynamics of U.S. foreign policy under Trump, the provocations leading to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and the potential collapse of Zelenskyy's government. Blumenthal also delves into Netanyahu's strategies in Gaza and the hidden forces driving American interventionism.AI - Summary:In a revealing conversation on Judging Freedom, Max Blumenthal discusses the dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump, particularly regarding Ukraine. Blumenthal argues that Trump's recent acknowledgment of the war in Ukraine as one of the most provoked conflicts in modern history marks a significant departure from previous administrations. He traces the roots of the conflict back to the 2014 Maidan coup, which he claims was heavily backed by the U.S., leading to Russia's annexation of Crimea and the ongoing war in Donbas.Blumenthal criticizes the narrative of Ukraine as a victim of Russian aggression, asserting that the U.S. and NATO's actions, including the buildup of military alliances on Russia's border, were deliberate provocations. He highlights how the American public is beginning to see through years of propaganda, recognizing the war as a result of U.S. intervention rather than unprovoked Russian aggression.The discussion also touches on the potential collapse of Zelenskyy's government if U.S. aid is cut off, with Blumenthal predicting internal strife and possible overthrow by nationalist factions. He critiques the Biden administration's sanctions on Russia, arguing they have harmed the U.S. economy more than Russia's, and calls for a reevaluation of America's foreign policy priorities.Shifting to the Middle East, Blumenthal examines Netanyahu's strategies in Gaza, suggesting that Israel's leadership is more interested in maintaining a state of conflict than achieving peace. He reveals disturbing details about the Hannibal Directive, which allegedly led to the deaths of many Israeli civilians during the October 7th attacks, and discusses the political turmoil within Israel as Netanyahu faces corruption allegations.Throughout the interview, Blumenthal emphasizes the need for a fundamental change in U.S. foreign policy, away from interventionism and towards a focus on domestic interests. He calls out the influence of lobby groups and the military-industrial complex, urging the Trump administration to prioritize America's needs over global entanglements.
Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the Trump administration's announcement that Ukraine will not join NATO as Kiev's military campaign continues to falter, and cover the fallout from Donald Trump's deranged plan to "own" the Gaza Strip and forcibly remove its residents.
Max Blumenthal joins Scott to talk about his recent viral interaction with Biden Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who has been nominated to serve as U.S. Attorney General in the incoming Trump Administration. During the hearing, Bondi butted heads with Democratic Senators Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, Alex Padilla, and Richard Blumenthal—but, as Rich notes, Bondi got the better of every-single exchange. 6:30pm- Monologue Replay: On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. At one point, Hegseth outlined his plan to eradicate “woke” ideology from the U.S. military—vowing to prioritize combat preparation and competency. Rich notes that President-elect Donald Trump has a unique opportunity to combat the out-of-control growth of the federal government—but his job will be made easier if he has his preferred cabinet.
