In today's episode, we begin with the explosive developments surrounding the September 2nd Caribbean boat bombing and the growing controversy over the alleged second "kill order" issued against survivors. We break down what is known, why the legal terminology around "war crimes" is complicated in a non-war context, and how military code, international law, and the chain of command apply.

We also examine the political fallout: fractures inside the MAGA bloc, demands for investigations from both House and Senate Armed Services Committees, and the White House's shifting posture as scrutiny intensifies. From possible impeachment proceedings for Pete Hegseth to questions about the DOJ's authority, presidential immunity, and the limits of preemptive pardons, we walk through what accountability could realistically look like — now or under a future administration.

Beyond the bombing, we cover:

  • The jurisdictional limits of the International Criminal Court and why a Hague prosecution is unlikely

  • Potential civil avenues for victims' families under customary international law

  • What Trump's late-night Truth Social posting spree does not mean, and why recognizing noise vs. escalation is crucial

  • Major implications of the Tennessee 7th special election

  • The legal challenge to Alina Habba's appointment as Acting U.S. Attorney in New Jersey and what it could mean for ongoing prosecutions

As always, we close with concrete action steps, including why calls for impeachment matter even when outcomes are uncertain.
