Pete Hegseth quotes fake Pulp Fiction Bible verse during Pentagon sermon - what a fucking tool.

I'm surprised that Pete didn't say 'we're not only giving Iran a royal ass kicking; it's a Royale with Cheese'.

Pete Hegseth was speaking at a worship service at the government complex when he read the prayer, as first reported by Word&Way. He said he had been given it by the "lead mission planner" of the rescue mission for two Air Force crew who were shot down over Iran.

"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," Hegseth prayed. "Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen."

The beginning lines were written by Tarantino & Avary and were delivered by Samuel Jackson in the movie, claiming (falsely) that they were from Eszekiel 25:17. The 2nd part was taken from the Bible. He says these lines just before gunning down someone.

Now, parody time—aiming for that Tarantino-meets-DC-briefing energy:

Slip in 'were not only giving Iran a royal ass kicking; it's a Royale with Cheese'.

Alright—now it’s fully collapsing in on itself: sermon, press scrum, and a room full of reporters who’ve clearly seen Pulp Fiction one too many times:

“The path of American resolve is beset on all sides by the ambitions of Iran—yes, I said it, you can write that down—

—no, go ahead, I’ll wait—

—by regimes that mistake patience for weakness and headlines for strategy.

But we are not weak. We are not confused. This is not Iraq—stop trying to make it Iraq—this is something else entirely—

REPORTER: ‘Say “what” again.’

—Excuse me?

REPORTER: ‘I dare you, I double dare you—’

Okay, we’re not doing that—this is a serious briefing—

Blessed is he who, in the name of freedom and unapologetic deterrence, shepherds the fleet through contested waters—

REPORTER (muttering): ‘…keeper of his brother…’

Yes, thank you, I know the line—well, not that line, the real line—

And yea, though the ayatollahs speak in shadows—

ANOTHER REPORTER: ‘Zed’s dead, baby.’

Zed is not relevant to this briefing. Stay focused.

—they shall find no sanctuary, for our ISR is persistent, our resolve is total—

—and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious precision—

REPORTER: ‘That is the line.’

It is a line. It is not the line—

—because we are, say it with me, locked and loaded.

—No, that’s not escalation—

REPORTER: ‘That’s just, like, your opinion, man—’

Wrong movie. Different vibe. Stay in your lane.

And you will know this is not a think tank panel when—

—when the stealth bombers arrive like a rumor—

REPORTER: ‘Do they serve coffee on those flights?’

Yes. Next question.

—when the destroyers speak in Tomahawk—

—when the sanctions regime grows so complex it begins enforcing itself—

And let me be very clear—very clear—

—we’re not only giving Iran a royal ass kicking; it’s a Royale with Cheese.

ROOM (half the press corps, in unison): ‘Because of the metric system?’

…That is not the point.

ANOTHER REPORTER: ‘What do they call a Big Mac?’

We are not doing international fast food taxonomy right now—

This is about clarity. This is about deterrence. This is about—

REPORTER: ‘Does he look like a negotiator?’

No one here is being thrown out of a window—

And the media will ask, as you always do, ‘How long does this last?’

And I say: not long—long enough—shorter than you think—longer than they hope—

—simultaneously concluded and ongoing—

REPORTER: ‘That is a tasty contradiction.’

It’s not a contradiction, it’s strategy—

And somewhere, in a bunker with very bad fluorescent lighting—

REPORTER (softly): ‘…the path of the righteous man…’

Stop encouraging each other.

—they will say, ‘Perhaps we miscalculated.’

And we will say, ‘Correct.’

Selah.

—Last question—

REPORTER: ‘What ain’t no country I ever heard of—’

That’s it, we’re done here.

—thank you, God bless—

—and seriously, if one more of you quotes Samuel L. Jackson at me, I am ending this briefing immediately.”**
