Why is Nigel Farage at war with his bank?
What is really up with Nigel Farage's bank account? We discuss, and hear from the man at the centre of what's quickly become a national banking storm.
And Defence Committee Chair and senior Tory MP Tobias Ellwood published a video earlier this week extolling the virtues of Afghanistan. Sort of forgetting that the country is led by the murderous Taliban regime. He now faces a no confidence vote. Why on earth did he do that?

An Economic Catastrophe in Afghanistan
The economic situation in Afghanistan is perilous. Banks have run out of cash. In some areas, Afghans are selling their belongings in ad hoc flea markets. Parents wait around hospitals and clinics in the hopes of getting treatment for severely malnourished children.
We hear about what the unfolding crisis looks like on the ground, why the economy has deteriorated so quickly, and what role the United States has played.
Guest: Christina Goldbaum, a correspondent for The New York Times, based in Kabul.

Ep. 776 - There Are No More Rainbow Flags In Afghanistan
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, President Biden goes into hiding as his Afghan withdrawal plan falls apart. I have quite a lot to say about this subject, and by the end, if I’ve done my job, I will probably have ticked off everyone on all sides of the issue. Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics gaslights the critics of masking children, while the Surgeon General declares that you do not have the right to share opinions that he deems “misinformation.” Plus, Tim Tebow made his NFL debut, which is proof of racism, according to many people in sports media. In our Daily Cancellation, I’ll respond to my critics who say that I am a white supremacist conspiracy theorist because of something I said on my show on Friday.

The Fall of Afghanistan
This episode contains strong language.
On Sunday, the president of Afghanistan fled the country; the Taliban seized control of Kabul, the capital; and the American-backed government collapsed.
One outspoken critic of the Taliban — a 33-year-old Kabul resident who asked that we refer to her by the initial R for fear of retaliation — shared her experiences as the insurgents closed in.
