Bill and his Wednesday co-host Will Selber are joined by their friend and colleague Beth Bailey of the Afghanistan Project podcast — she also previously served in the intelligence community — on the twenty-third anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. They reflect on where we were then and how we got to where we are now, twenty-three years later.

Subbing for Bill and Behnam this week are Joe and David Daoud. They catch up on the latest headlines related to Hezbollah and its war of attrition against Israel.

Bill and Will Selber are joined by friend of the show Jerry Dunleavy. Jerry was the senior investigator for the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s investigation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan until he shared his letter of resignation on X earlier this week. Why did Jerry resign? The answer requires revisiting how events leading up to the fall of Kabul and withdrawal from Afghanistan unfolded and played out — and the ever-expanding black hole of accountability.

Joining the discussion are Edmund Fitton-Brown, a noted expert on jihadi threats, and Caleb Weiss, an analyst specializing in jihadist activities. They dive deep into the latest UN report detailing the rise of jihadist groups in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Key topics include the complexities of Islamic State leadership transitions and the implications of non-Arab leaders. They also address the growing influence of Al-Shabaab, the expansion of jihadist operations in West Africa, and the evolving strategies of militant groups, raising concerns about global security.
