Whenever I see Hegseth, I picture Colin going, "What, you fatties!" to the generals.

“And I was like, ‘Would it be funny if Hegseth just did that Bible verse that they have in Pulp Fiction?’ Remember, they’re like, from Ezekiel...”

Host Fallon chimed in, acknowledging: “Yeah, Samuel L. Jackson, 12:17.”

“Yeah, we talked about it, and we were like, ‘That would be too ridiculous,’” Jost continued. “And it would take up all this time in the cold open. It would seem like we wouldn’t.

“And then he for real did it! Like two weeks later!” he exclaimed, quipping that the “good news is I’m being surveilled.”

Ugh, it's on Fallon. He's the worst host, let your gest speak.

It’s weird that he thinks that “passage” justifies a country in what it’s doing. In the Bible it was God who said that, not a person. It’s like he thinks the US is equivalent to God.

That's pretty much politics de jour for the last decade. Satire doesn't a stand a chance.

Does Jost know that he is talking about pervasive government surveillance in this anecdote ?
