president biden s afghanistan disaster and thank goodness for that, joining me with his reaction on fox news radio and fox nation jimmy phelan. here is the tweet from aoc. in case you are wondering why people are going on tv religiously attacking biden for his courageous decision to leave afghanistan when no other president would years ago and so as to why. the few who reap its profits, the rest of us foot the bill. how can you look at the faces of people fearing for their lives expecting to be killed if they don t get out of afghanistan and say the reason people are upset is war profiteering? look, man, this nothing to do with her race or gender. aoc is a dope because this is such an intellectually lazy take. 80% of the public is not happy with what went on in afghanistan and 79.9% of them aren t making
it is the hottest day of the year officially, northolt in london has already reached 26.6 celsius at 11:30am. that is 79.9 fahrenheit, so it is the warmest day of the year so far. if you want to know the last time the weather was this out, it was 252 days ago in september, so it is a hot day. let s get the latest from ben rich. it is the warmest day of the year so far, not for the first time this week. temperatures quite widely up into the 20s, but a little cooler for some north eastern coast with some extra cloud, more of a breeze and cool down to the south west where we have seen some showers pushing across wales. they will continue their journey northwards as we head through this evening and tonight. there could be the odd rumble of thunder mixing in, cloud filtering into the night, misty and tamaki for some southern coast and a mild if not muggy night. temperatures for some holding up at

very similar actions we were able to convict for felonies over 1,000 elite business people. so it is a scandal we haven t done it here. first thing we need to do here is to stop lying. all right? so when this crisis hit, we didn t just bail them out. we hid it off balance sheet. so we own, for example, 79.9% of fannie and freddie so we don t have to consolidate their debt into the united states for recognition purposes. that s a pure scam. we changed the accounting rules so banks don t have to recognize the losses, but that just allows the losses to fester and makes them bigger and it means that you have all of these zombie major institutions like bank of america going around committing one fraud after another in the foreclosure process. hello. bill fleckenstein, hang on one second. go ahead, bill black. all right.
