On today's 'BradCast':  The Trump Administration cited their supposed 'war on drugs' as legal justification for blowing up small boats carrying civilians in international waters near Venezuela.  Trump Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth reportedly issued orders to conduct a second strike to kill shipwrecked survivors of one such attack, which military experts say is wildly illegal. Hegseth threatened veteran U.S. congressmembers for reminding military personnel that they are required to disobey illegal orders. CARRIE A. LEE, PhD, an expert on civil-military relations, discusses the politicization of the U.S. military and Trump's attempts to weaponize the military justice system to punish political opponents. Relatedly, Donald Trump pardoned the former President of Honduras, a drug kingpin convicted by a U.S. jury for his role in trafficking some 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S.
