On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden's August 31st deadline to pull US troops out of Afghanistan is just 8 days away, but the president has not ruled out extending it beyond that date. This comes as chaotic scenes continue to play out at the airport in Kabul, and fears that terrorists could target Americans trying to get on planes to flee the country continue. Democrats on Capitol Hill are pushing ahead to get two major infrastructure bills passed along with a controversial voter reform measure. Democrats are trying to pass all three with a single vote. Amber Athey, the Washington Editor at the Spectator, shares her reaction to the scenes at Kabul airport and whether she thinks President Biden's comments have sent a strong enough message to the Taliban. And today the FDA fully approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Director of St. Joseph's Institute for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases, Dr. Bob Lahita, joins to talk about the significance of that and when he thinks the other vaccines may also get the green light. Finally this evening, founded in 2009, Talitha Kum shares the desire to coordinate and strengthen the already existing activities against human trafficking around the world. International Coordinator of Talitha Kum, Sister Gabrielle Bottani, joins to tell us more about the organization and what she specifically does.
