the administration says the taliban is professional and business like. reporters on the ground have a different take. they are saying look, the executions are back. women s rights are gone. the chief enforcer of the taliban said the following quoting. no one will tell us what our laws should be. we will follow islam and we will make our laws on the quran cutting off hands is very necessary for security. so much for the taliban 2.0, senator. trace, i guess they will be very business like when they execute the hands of minor felons and criminals in afghanistan. who could have guessed that a degenerate gang of 7th century savages would behave like that? anyone who knew how the taliban behaved back in the 1990, you don t have to go back that far. you can see the way that
ahead. plus dueling issues for president biden on the foreign policy front. the taliban planning a return to brutal tactics as the white house tries to get iran back to the negotiating table. more on all of this with senator tom cotton. he joins us next. i m begging him to lead. begging him to start getting terrorism under control and begging him to have some sort of voice on afghanistan. we ve lost our moral core and we have to get it back. lowest rate in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. these rates could cut thousands off your mortgage payments every year. with their two and a quarter refi, there s no money out of pocket and no upfront fees. newday s holding the line on those low rates so every veteran family can save.
