  • Fly on the Wall: Filmmaker Ibrahim Nash'at
    Aug 30 2024

    Three years ago this week, as U.S. forces were clearing out of Afghanistan, a suicide bomber killed thirteen American service members and about 170 Afghan civilians outside Karzai International Airport. What followed was what the U.S. had spent decades trying to prevent: the Taliban swiftly seized control of the country. Filmmaker Ibrahim Nash’at spent months chronicling a Taliban commander as he and his lieutenants go about converting the spoils of war - about $7 billion of left behind military equipment - into usable gear. While making “Hollywoodgate,” Nash’at tells Major he was not always welcomed by his hosts and often at great personal risk. Join us.

    George Washington University Professor Timothy Shenk recently wrote an op-ed in The New York Times on how Kamala Harris can re-position her party for the long term. Major sat down with Shenk in the CBS Bureau to discuss how history intersects with 2024 election and why Shenk believes this could be an inflection point for the party of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Vice President Harris, he argues, ought to give working class voters a compelling reason to vote for her this fall. Find Shenk’s book “Left Adrift” in October.
