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 exposes how Trump bullies Arab states to absorb Palestinians, while Israel's Zionist logic drives demographic warfare. Despite ceasefire violations, Hamas stands firm, forcing aid into Gaza. Netanyahu clings to power, backed by Trump's brutal strategy. A damning critique of U.S.-Israeli policies and the resilience of Palestinian resistance.In this explosive discussion between Judge Andrew Napolitano and Max Blumenthal, the focus is on Donald Trump's controversial proposal to "buy and own" the Gaza Strip, a plan Blumenthal describes as a thinly veiled attempt at ethnic cleansing. Blumenthal argues that Trump's strategy is to intimidate and bully regional allies like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia into absorbing displaced Palestinians, effectively carrying out Israel's long-standing goal of demographic control. He highlights how these nations, particularly Saudi Arabia, are now scrambling to counter Trump's plan, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman issuing the "Dawn Statement," rejecting normalization with Israel without a Palestinian state.Blumenthal critiques the underlying logic of Zionism, which views Palestinians as a demographic threat to Israel's Jewish majority. He explains how this logic has driven policies like the two-state solution, which he describes as a way to warehouse Palestinians in isolated cantons while maintaining Jewish dominance. He also touches on the destruction of Christian communities in Gaza and the West Bank, emphasizing the broader ethnic and religious dimensions of the conflict.The conversation shifts to the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, with Blumenthal criticizing Trump and Netanyahu for their attempts to sabotage the agreement by demanding the immediate release of all hostages. He points out that Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, but Hamas has stood firm, forcing Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Blumenthal suggests that Hamas's resilience has temporarily thwarted Trump and Netanyahu's plans.Finally, Blumenthal speculates on Netanyahu's political and physical health, noting that the Israeli prime minister is under significant pressure from both his corruption trials and the Israeli public's demand for the release of hostages. Despite these challenges, Netanyahu has managed to stabilize his leadership by aligning with Trump's ethnic cleansing plan, which has garnered support across the Israeli political spectrum. Blumenthal concludes by emphasizing the moral and political bankruptcy of Trump's plan and the broader Zionist project, warning that it will only lead to further instability and suffering.

On the Judging Freedom podcast, Max Blumenthal delves into the implications of Donald Trump's recent rhetoric regarding Gaza, where he suggests forcibly relocating two million Palestinians to Egypt's Sinai Desert and Jordan. This controversial plan, framed as a "peaceful" resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, threatens to destabilize the Middle East further and faces significant opposition from Arab leaders already strained by regional tensions.Blumenthal highlights the immense resistance that would likely arise from Egypt and Jordan, both of which are already hosting large Palestinian refugee populations. For Egypt, the idea of absorbing more Palestinians is seen as a direct assault on its sovereignty, with many in the Egyptian elite deeply hostile to the Palestinians. Meanwhile, Jordan, long used as a "warehouse" for Palestinian refugees, has also seen large-scale protests in response to similar proposals, signaling that the population is unwilling to accept this new wave of displacement.Despite these objections, Trump's plan has been supported by hardline Israeli factions and billionaire donors tied to the Israel lobby, suggesting that the real motive behind the plan is to solidify Israeli control over Gaza and the wider region. Blumenthal emphasizes that this proposal is not just about territorial expansion but also about further cementing the power of a small ruling elite that has long been aligned with U.S. imperial interests.Blumenthal critiques both Trump and Biden administrations for their shared responsibility in the devastation of Gaza, calling attention to the broader system of U.S. foreign policy that perpetuates violence and destabilization in the region. This analysis underscores the need for an alternative approach—one rooted in justice and a real understanding of the Palestinian struggle for self-determination.

In this episode of Going Underground, Grayzone Editor-in-Chief Max Blumenthal dissects Donald Trump's call for greater independent media access to White House press briefings and the broader implications of his media strategy. Blumenthal breaks down his viral confrontation with former Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the U.S. role in Israel's assault on Gaza, as well as Trump's move to cut USAID grants to Ukraine—leading to the swift collapse of Ukrainian media outlets reliant on Western funding.He also exposes the Ukrainian Myrotvorets kill list, detailing the threats he and other journalists have faced for reporting inconvenient truths about NATO's proxy war. The conversation turns to the arrests of The Electronic Intifada's Ali Abunimah in Switzerland and Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo in Israel, underscoring the global crackdown on independent reporting.Blumenthal further unpacks the Biden administration's political maneuvering, including an alleged pardon for Anthony Fauci to shield him from accountability over COVID policies, and how Trump's potential return to the White House could see the most overtly pro-Israel administration in U.S. history. He analyzes Trump's role in advancing Israel's expansionist agenda, including his tacit approval of West Bank annexation and Netanyahu's expectation that a second Trump presidency would back Israel in a regional war against Iran.Check out this no-holds-barred discussion of stories the establishment media won't touch.For more info on Afshin Rattansi's Going Underground: linktree.com/goingundergroundtv

Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the Gaza ceasefire deal, the real history of US and Israeli obstructionism, and efforts to hold the authors of Gaza's destruction accountable - including Blumenthal's questioning of Tony Blinken at the Secretary of State's final presser.

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.

 Marco Rubio and John Ratcliffe present their policy objectives in Senate confirmation hearings of their own. The difference between administrations is palpable. Do Merrick Garland or Bill Burns speak with the ease, focus and resolve as President Trump's cabinet nominees have thus far? And how did the senators do in yesterday's grilling? Listen to Blumenthal, Kennedy and Durbin and hear the obvious fear democrats have over being investigated. Which of Trump's cabinet nominees does the Deep State fear most? Deep Stater Mike Pence tries to derail RFK Jr's confirmation hearing.

Pete Hegseth weathered all sorts of Democrat Senators' attacks from accusations without evidence from anonymous sources to ability to push pencils to leadership ability as they resorted to character assassination during his Defense Secretary Confirmation Hearings on Tuesday. He fired back at silly questions from the likes of Sens. Hirono, Warren, Blumenthal, et al while showing the country he has the thick skin and ability to lead and overhaul how things get done within the DoD.

Pete Hegseth faces off in his Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense. Democrat Senators lose their minds asking Hegseth ridiculous questions about identity politics. Sen. Tim Kaine blasts Hegseth over his admitted adultery. Sen. Blumenthal ironically calls Hegseth the most unqualified nominee for a position of serious consequence in US Government in recent history.

Hegseth's Confirmation Hearing Drama & IRS Restructure Revealed   In today's gripping episode of the MG Show, Jeffrey and Shannon provide live commentary on Pete Hegseth's heated confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill. As senators engage in intense questioning, paid protestors disrupt the proceedings, creating a chaotic atmosphere. Senator Blumenthal misrepresents financial figures during his line of questioning, while Senators Ernst and Hirono attempt to badger Hegseth with biased narratives, disregarding his well-reasoned responses.   The episode also dives into a detailed overview of Jack Lang's involvement in January 6 and what it means for the broader political landscape. Additionally, the hosts analyze President Trump's latest post on Truth Social, unveiling a significant IRS restructure—now rebranded as the External Revenue Service (ERS)—tasked with managing tariffs and reshaping the nation's fiscal priorities.   Tune in for an episode filled with independent analysis, factual insights, and a closer look at the power plays shaping America's future.   Keywords: Pete Hegseth, Confirmation Hearing, Capitol Hill, Senate Questions, Protestors, Blumenthal Financials, Ernst, Hirono, January 6, IRS Restructure, External Revenue Service, Trump Truth Social, Tariffs, Conservative Podcast, Independent Journalism, America First -----------------

Today's Headlines: President Biden granted clemency to over 1,500 individuals in home confinement and 39 convicted of nonviolent crimes, marking the largest single-day clemency action in modern history, with more reviews promised before his term ends. Meanwhile, Donald Trump pledged January 6 pardons in his first presidential hour. The NLRB filed a complaint against Love Is Blind, classifying cast members as employees, raising unionization possibilities, and challenging restrictive contract terms, including hefty fines and media bans. In the ongoing mystery of large drones over New Jersey, Senator Blumenthal urged the Biden administration to act more aggressively, even suggesting shooting them down, though the White House reports no malicious activity. Donald Trump was named Time Magazine's 2024 Person of the Year. In interviews, he shared plans on immigration, FDA oversight, and political legacy while celebrating by ringing the NYSE bell. Trump also invited China's Xi Jinping to his inauguration, an unprecedented move.

Surrogate decision making has some issues.  Surrogates often either don't know what patients would want, or think they know but are wrong, or make choices that align with their own preferences rather than the patients.  After making decisions, many surrogates experience regret, PTSD, and depressive symptoms.  Can we do better? Or, to phrase the question for 2024, “Can AI do better?” Follow that path and you arrive at a potentially terrifying scenario: using AI for surrogate decision making.  What?!?  When Teva Brender and Brian Block first approached me about writing a thought piece about this idea, my initial response was, “Hell no.”  You may be thinking the same.  But…stay with us here…might AI help to address some of the major issues present in surrogate decision making? Or does it raise more issues than it solves? Today we talk with Teva, Dave Wendler, and Jenny Blumenthal-Barby about: Current clinical and ethical issues with surrogate decision making The Patient Preferences Predictor (developed by Dave Wendler) or Personalized Patient Preferences Predictor (updated idea by Brian Earp) and commentary by Jenny Using AI to comb through prior recorded clinical conversations with patients to play back pertinent discussions; to predict functional outcomes; and to predict patient preferences based on prior spending patterns, emails, and social media posts (Teva's thought piece) A whole host of ethical issues raised by these ideas including the black box nature, the motivations of private AI algorithms run by for profit healthcare systems, turning an “is” into an “ought”, defaults and nudges, and privacy. I'll end this intro with a quote from Deb Grady in an editor's commentary to our thought piece in JAMA Internal Medicine about this topic: “Voice technology that creates a searchable database of patients' every encounter with a health care professional? Using data from wearable devices, internet searches, and purchasing history? Algorithms using millions of direct observations of a person's behavior to provide an authentic portrait of the way a person lived? Yikes! The authors discuss the practical, ethical, and accuracy issues related to this scenario. We published this Viewpoint because it is very interesting, somewhat scary, and probably inevitable.” -@alexsmithmd.bsky.social
