Chaos in Kabul while Pentagon plays dumb (Full show)

Despite possessing the world's most sophisticated military minds and equipment, Pentagon officials don't know how many Al Qaeda remain in Afghanistan. Or are they just playing dumb? In their vagueness before the Washington press corps, they may be bracing for domestic political blowback as the Biden administration doubles down on its swift withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years of expensive failure despite opposition from both Democratic and Republican members of Congress. Afghan journalist Shoib Najafizada reports on developments in Kabul, now under the control of the Taliban. Then former US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski shares her insights.

Plus, Ilya Petrenko reports on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's recent diplomatic visit to Moscow for talks with Russian President Putin. RT America's John Huddy reports on the rising tide of school shootings and suicide across the US and its toll on the youth.

Plus, "Redacted Tonight" co-hosts Jaffer Khan and Naomi Karavani join to discuss OnlyFans' surprising decision to ban sexually explicit content.
