Saturday Night Live returns with C-Span coverage of the embattled US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost), taking questions from the press. After chugging a Monster energy drink and unilaterally declaring war on Venezuela, Hegseth challenges reporters to “pretend I’m a random fishing boat and fire away!”
He denies ordering a fatal second strike on survivors of an alleged drug smuggling boat while letting slip how much he’s craving alcohol: “If I had a drink for every Venezuelan we’ve killed, I’d really like that number of drinks.”
