"Kill Them All": The Pete Hegseth and the Rules of War

In this episode, we break down the explosive revelations surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged “kill them all” directive—an order tied to the September 2nd maritime strike that left unarmed survivors in the water dead. We explore the Trump administration’s escalating campaign of lethal strikes in the Caribbean, the legal and moral red lines these actions cross, and the mounting bipartisan backlash demanding answers. We also look at the wider concerns around Hegseth’s tenure, including long-standing warnings from military and intelligence professionals about his lack of qualifications, his disregard for international law, and his pattern of reckless judgment. Here's what happened, why it matters, and what it means for the country, democracy, and America’s global integrity.
