On Monday, August 26, 2024, CBS Mornings welcomes former national security advisor H. R. McMaster, author Michael Lewis, and entrepreneur Marty McDonald.
H. R. McMaster joins the show to discuss his new book, At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House, which offers a candid account of his time as National Security Advisor in the Trump administration. McMaster provides insight into the challenges of working with a “disruptive” president and dealing with the hyper-partisanship of American politics. The book also includes McMaster’s assessment of Trump’s presidency in comparison to the Obama and Biden administrations.
Author Michael Lewis discusses his latest book, Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon. The book takes readers into the mind of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, and traces his rise and fall in the world of high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, and philanthropy.
Marty McDonald, the founder of Elle Olivia, an infant and toddler clothing brand, joins the show to share her mission of empowering young girls of colour and their allies. Elle Olivia aims to inspire and encourage little Black girls to dream big and push beyond their wildest imagination. McDonald has also written a book, Mama We Made It, which aligns with the brand’s message of representation and encouragement for Black girls and their mothers.
CBS Mornings airs Monday, August 26, 2024, at 7:00-9:00 AM on CBS.
