Roy Rochlin / Pete Hegseth
DEI Hire Pete Hegseth could be in some serious trouble after a bombshell Washington Post report alleges he may have committed “war crimes.”
According to the Washington Post, the “Secretary of War” went overboard when he issued a “kill everybody” order when taking out a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean Sea near Trinidad.
The order was the first of many instances of the military being ordered to kill suspected drug traffickers who are allegedly smuggling fentanyl into the country via boat.

Hegseth vehemently denied the report, taking a page out of his Orange Lord’s book and dismissing the reporting as “fake news” in one of his ridiculously long posts on X (formerly Twitter).
“As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland,” Hegseth wrote.
Hegseth went on to blame the previous administration for being soft on the recently labeled “narco-terrorists,” while promising that under his leadership, they will continue to kill them.
“The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists; we kill them,” he continued.
“We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.”
A Breakdown of The Alleged War Crimes
On Sept. 2, Hegseth allegedly gave the order to Special Operations forces to kill all 11 people on board the suspected drug trafficking boat.
After one successful missile strike, a SEAL Team 6 commander ordered a second strike, killing the two remaining survivors who were hanging on the side of the boat.
A source with knowledge of the operation told The Washington Post, “The order was to kill everybody.”
The attack kick-started airstrikes in international waters that have already killed 83 people and destroyed 21 vessels.
The Reactions To Hegseth’s Order “Kill Them All” Order
Many have come out and called what’s going on straight up “murder” and “war crimes.”
“A Secretary of Defense told operators to “kill everybody” even after the first missile strike, even after survivors were clinging to wreckage in the water. I’ve commanded missions where every order carried life-and-death consequences. I know what lawful command looks like, and this isn’t it. Killing unarmed survivors in the open ocean is a violation of the laws of war and every value we swore to uphold. And every veteran who ever carried that oath in their chest knows it,” said Phil Ehr, who is running for Florida’s 28th Congressional District and is a retired US Navy Mustang.
Hegseth might have a congressional hearing to look forward to in the near future because of his actions.
Top Republican senator, Roger Wicker, has joined US Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in calling for “vigorous oversight to determine the facts.”
Hegseth’s response claiming they are on a mission to “stop lethal drugs” isn’t looking so good right now after Trump wrote on Truth Social he was going to give convicted drug trafficker, Juan Orlando Hernandez, a full pardon.
“I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,” Trump said.
Orlando infamously said that he wanted to “shove the drugs up the noses of the gringos,” and was allegedly the head of “state-sponsored drug trafficking.”
He is currently serving a 45-year sentence in a Brooklyn prison.
Secretary of Partying might be in some serious trouble.

The Wiggles have issued a statement after a TikTok video featuring the children’s entertainment group and Keli Holiday — the solo project of Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde — was removed from social media following complaints from parents.

The since-deleted clip, first reported by News.com.au, showed Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and his nephew Dominic Field (who portrays The Tree of Wisdom) dancing behind Holiday as he promoted his new single “Ecstasy.” The chorus of the track includes the lyric: “Hey girl, come on, dance with me / You and your pocket full of ecstasy,” prompting criticism from viewers who felt the pairing blurred the line between children’s entertainment and adult-coded content.
The video was posted shortly after Holiday appeared onstage with the pair at the 2025 TikTok Awards on Nov. 26, where The Wiggles joined him for a performance of his single “Dancing2.” Anthony played the bagpipes during the set while Dominic performed his signature dance alongside Holiday’s partner, broadcaster Abbie Chatfield.
After the TikTok clip began circulating, a spokesperson for The Wiggles told The West Australian that the group “does not support or condone the use of drugs in any form,” emphasizing that the video was created without their approval.
“We understand that a video circulating on social media has caused concern for many parents and professionals, and we want to address that directly,” the spokesperson said. “The Wiggles do not support or condone the use of drugs in any form. The content being shared was not created or approved by us, and we have asked for it to be removed.”
The statement clarified that while Holiday is a longtime friend of the group, the music added to the clip was edited in after their TikTok Awards appearance. “While Keli Holiday (Adam Hyde) is a friend of The Wiggles, the video and the music added to it were created independently and without our knowledge,” the spokesperson continued. “Our performance at the TikTok Awards was family-friendly and fun, and this video was edited together separately and without our awareness.”
The group ended by reaffirming their commitment to families: “We deeply value the confidence families place in us and we remain committed to creating safe, positive, and educational experiences for children and families in Australia and around the world.”
Holiday released “Ecstasy” earlier this month, describing the track as a spontaneous idea that took shape during sessions with Golden Features and Belgian singer Romanie, before finalising the song with producer Konstantin Kersting.

Bob “Bongo” Starkie, guitarist for the trailblazing Australian rock band Skyhooks, has died at 73 after a year-long battle with acute myeloid leukemia. His death was confirmed Tuesday on the group’s official Facebook page.

See latest videos, charts and news
Skyhooks archivist Peter Green announced the news, writing that Starkie “passed away early this morning” after spending the past year undergoing treatment while still hoping to return to the stage. Green remembered him as the youngest member of the band who “embraced the theatrics” that became a signature part of Skyhooks’ identity — from bold makeup and elaborate stage outfits to the irreverent swagger that helped define the group’s rise. “The music always came first,” Green wrote, adding that performing live “was his absolute joy” and that “music was in his blood till the very end.”
Starkie joined Skyhooks in August 1973, replacing his older brother Peter Starkie, who died in 2020 at age 72 following complications from a fall. Peter was one of the musicians who helped establish the early lineup that would go on to dominate Australian rock in the mid-1970s.
In a tribute shared through the band’s page, Starkie’s daughter Indiana said her father “peacefully departed, listening to Chuck Berry, snuggling with his fur baby Bonnie, surrounded by friends and family.” She noted that he was deeply loved by daughters Indiana and Arabella, grandchildren Phoenix and Lucia, partner Chrissy, close friend Ian, and son-in-laws Simon and Chris, adding: “He felt the love till the very end.”
Formed in Melbourne in 1973, Skyhooks quickly became one of Australia’s most influential rock acts. Known for their glam-leaning visual style, provocative lyrics and theatrical shows, the band gave Michael Gudinski’s Mushroom Records its first major commercial breakthrough. Their debut album, Living in the 70’s, spent 16 weeks at No. 1 in 1975 and reshaped Australia’s pop and rock landscape. Skyhooks also made broadcasting history when their track “You Just Like Me ’Cos I’m Good in Bed” became the first song ever played on 2JJ (later triple j) in January 1975.
The group endured tragedy before: frontman Graeme “Shirley” Strachan died on August 29, 2001, at age 49 in a solo helicopter crash near Mount Archer in Queensland. He was piloting a Bell 47 when turbulence caused the rotor to strike the tail boom, leading to the fatal accident.
Skyhooks disbanded in 1980 but reunited periodically, with Starkie remaining one of the band’s most active ambassadors. In 1992, Skyhooks were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, further defining their status as one of Australia’s defining rock acts.

Music stocks had a rare positive week as the 19-company Billboard Global Music Index (BGMI) gained 1.0% to 2,597.30. With 14 of the index’s companies in positive territory, the slight improvement marked the BGMI’s first gain in 11 weeks. Year-to-date, the index is up 20.5% but is 16.7% below its all-time high of 3,117.20 set during the week ended June 30.
Markets around the globe outpaced music stocks this week. In the U.S., the Nasdaq composite gained 4.9% to 23,365.69 and the S&P 500 rose 3.7% to 6,849.09. The U.K.’s FTSE 100 climbed 1.9% to 9,720.51. South Korea’s KOSPI composite index improved 1.9%, bringing its year-to-date gain to 60.8%. China’s Shanghai Composite Index was up 1.4% to 3,888.60.
The biggest gain of the week came from French music streamer Deezer, which rose 13.5% to 1.09 euros ($1.26). The hefty gain narrowed Deezer’s year-to-date loss to 16.8%. On Tuesday (Nov. 25), Deezer unveiled a new personalization feature that allows users to change to look and layout of the mobile app.
K-pop company SM Entertainment rose 6.0% to 102,000 KRW ($69.50). Reservoir Media increased 4.4% to $7.30. SiriusXM and MSG Entertainment each climbed 3.6%. Spotify, the BGMI’s largest component, gained 2.6% to $583.62.
Three of the BGMI’s largest companies — Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group (UMG) and CTS Eventim — lost ground this week. CTS Eventim fell 0.4% to 84.65 euros ($98.18). On Monday (Nov. 24), Bernstein lowered its CTS Eventim price target to 99.00 euros ($114.83) from 100.00 euros ($115.98) and maintained its “outperform” rating. Universal Music Group fell 2.3% to 22.61 euros ($26.22), increasing its year-to-date loss to 7.7%.
Warner Music Group (WMG) shares fell 8.0% to $30.69. The decline didn’t come from news that WMG settled its lawsuit with generative AI music platform Suno — WMG shares had already fallen 7.6% by the time news of the settlement and corresponding licensing agreement was announced on Tuesday afternoon. Rather, the drop is part of a larger trend in recent months amongst multi-sector companies. In the last nine weeks, WMG has fallen 16.6% and UMG is down 11.6%.
Some K-pop companies have fared even worse. Over nine weeks, SM Entertainment has dropped 14.9%, JYP Entertainment has plummeted 33.6% and YG Entertainment has plummeted 7.5%. HYBE, on the other hand, has gained 12% over nine weeks due to a Korean court ruling that NewJeans must honor its exclusive contract with HYBE imprint ADOR.

This bag is made of a futuristic water-repellent material that can be worn crossbody or around the waist if you’d like to mix it up. The bag is big enough to hold the essentials like your phone or wallet, but not so big that you’ll be stopped at a concert venue.

Happy Holiday Season, Hip-Hop Wired Nation! We’re back with a new and, ahem, fresh CRT FRSH playlist. This week, we open up with one of R&B’s most prolific vocalists paired with one of the best out of New Orleans, and much more.
I want to explain how I approach curating the CRT FRSH playlist. Most importantly, I don’t segregate my Hip-Hop. Every form of music from the main cultural tree deserves a listen and a look. When I construct the playlist, I want to include all regions across the States and, when applicable, across the globe. I also want to entertain every fan of Hip-Hop, not just those who enjoy one segment of it. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s get to it.
The CRT FRSH playlist is a labor of love. We don’t take payments, nor do we do favors. We only add joints to our playlist that fit the theme and vision we’re going for and don’t seek to waste the listener’s time. Further, we don’t stick to one lane of Hip-Hop. We believe that all aspects of the music should get some light, whether it’s young lions in the trenches or those hoping for that one shot to blow up to grizzled veterans puffing out their chests with lots more to say. — D.L. Chandler, Lead Curator, CRT FRSH

While everyone is still deep in those leftover plates, we’re dusting off the playlist to bring you 20 new joints after a few weeks off to collect ourselves.
This latest drop opens with Ty Dolla $ign’s “WHAT I WANT” track featuring Lil Wayne from the singer’s TYCOON album. That’s followed by Ghais Guevara’s “Self-Medicated” from the talented Philadelphia rapper and producer’s Full Goyard EP from this past summer. Wale’s everything is a lot is one of his best albums to date, and the track “Belly” is moving as a background track all over social media. We then follow that with Anti LIlly and Phoniks’ “Wonder Why” from their excellent All Good Things album.
From there, we hop to Lil Baby’s “All On Me” featuring G Herbo from the Atlanta rapper’s Middle Of The Summer project. We then follow with Domo Genesis and Graymatter’s “SHEDDINGWEIGHT” from their SCRAM! album, which might be the best-produced Hip-Hop album of the year, in our opinion.
Salute to Quavo, Yeat, BNYX, Oh No, DJ Romes, BunnaB, Che Noir, 7xvethegenius, Stove God Cooks, Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Cardi B, Latto, Jeezy, A$AP Twelvy, Russ, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Kevin Gates, Rick Ross, Chris Patrick, MARCO PLUS, Hit-Boy, The Alchemist, Jay Worthy, Big Hit, Joey Fatts, and Vince Staples.

What Is A Grand Ole Opry Christmas About?
A Grand Ole Opry Christmas followes Gentry Woods (Nikki DeLoach), the daughter of late (fictional) country music icon Jett Woods, who is invited to perform at the Opry to honor her father. But Gentry ditched her dream of a songwriting career and distanced herself from her father’s legacy following his tragic car accident, and isn’t sure she’s ready to confront her family demons. Fortunately, she reunites with lifelong friend Mac (Kristoffer Polaha) and meets a few country music superstars along the way, who convince her that there’s no better time to shine — and find love — that at the Opry’s centennial celebration at Christmas.
Of course it wouldn’t be a Hallmark movie without some holiday magic sprinkled in too, and the official film description teases a little time travel. “Gentry visits the Opry and, while seated in one of the vaunted venue’s oak church pews, is suddenly transported to 1995. Gentry’s lifelong friend Mac (Polaha) a country music talent manager, finds himself in 1995 as well. Thanks to some Christmas magic, Gentry gets precious time with her father, creative inspiration to finish the song she began decades earlier as a teen and learns surprising answers to questions about her father that have followed her for the last three decades.”
In addition to DeLoach, Polaha, Paisley and the country singers mentioned earlier, the film stars Desperate Housewives fave James Denton and features longtime Opry stars Riders in the Sky, Nashville legend Bill Anderson, Opry inductees Jamey Johnson and Dailey and Vincent, and singer Suzy Bogguss, who was officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry in October.
“The Hallmark Channel to me is a major part of finding the joy and the spirit of the holidays,” Paisley says in a press release. “I loved the challenge of creating that same magic with this music by letting it take you to the same place that these movies and this world Hallmark has built. Can’t wait for you to hear what all we’ve done. Also, knowing the Opry is the setting for one of these movies is very inspiring.”
The movie is part of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” event, which went viral last year for the Taylor Swift-inspired Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
Of course, you can also experience Christmas IRL at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. The venue’s famous “Opry Country Christmas” show is running all through December, and you can find tickets here.
