Colbert Roasts Hegseth's Pulp Fiction Prayer, Pentagon Defends

0:00It's April 17. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI what everyone's talking about. Stephen Colbert took a swing at Defense Secretary Pete Higgseth for dropping a prayer that sounds straight out of pulp fiction before a big air force. Rescue mission this month. Higgseth called it CSAR2517, tweaking the famous Ezekiel Bible verse that Samuel L. Jackson spits in the movie to hype up the team, saving a downpile from Iran. Colbert played the clip side by side on his show, joking it was like Higgseth's audition tape next to the pro and called it the gospel, according to Quentin Tarantino with extra flair on the wild parts. Even though he roasted it hard, Colbert said he wants Higgseth to win because that means America wins, then he prayed using lines from taxi driver, forest gump, and snakes on a plane for laughs. The Pentagon jumped in quick, defending the custom prayer as inspired by both the Bible and the flick, slamming critics as fake news peddlers who miss.
