Redacted Tonight is a satirical and politically-charged show that takes aim at the powerful institutions that govern our society. In season 1 episode 34, titled "Activists Call Kissinger War Criminal to His Face Monsanto Losing the War and US Political Prisoners," the show focuses on three major topics.

The first segment of the show delves into the controversial legacy of Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor during the Nixon and Ford administrations. Activists have long accused Kissinger of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the Vietnam War, the overthrow of Chile's democratically-elected government, and other actions. In this segment, the show highlights the efforts of activists who confronted Kissinger at a recent public event, demanding that he be held accountable for his actions.

The next segment focuses on Monsanto, the multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation. The show argues that Monsanto is losing the war against public opinion and legal challenges, as more and more evidence surfaces about the harmful effects of its products on human health and the environment. The segment highlights the role of grassroots activists, who have been instrumental in raising awareness about Monsanto's practices and pressuring regulators to take action against the company.

Finally, the show turns its attention to the issue of political prisoners in the United States. The segment argues that there are currently thousands of people in the US who are being unjustly imprisoned for their political beliefs and activities, including environmental activists, whistleblowers, and others. The show highlights some of these cases and argues that the US legal system is failing to uphold basic principles of fairness and justice.

Throughout the episode, the show employs its signature mix of humor, sarcasm, and biting social critique to interrogate these issues and call attention to the injustices that lie beneath the surface of American society. Whether you agree with the show's political outlook or not, it offers a unique and important perspective on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
