| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. |
| 0:05.0 | The Hegseith killings must stop. |
| 0:09.0 | Last week, the Pentagon, under War Secretary Peake Hegseith, |
| 0:15.0 | carried out yet another military attack on a boat in the high seas that the administration claims is smuggling |
| 0:23.7 | drugs. That makes 23 boats blown up by the U.S. military in the waters off Latin America, |
