7:16Now PlayingPete Hegseth stood in the Pentagon and delivered a “prayer” lifted from Pulp Fiction, presenting it as something inspired by scripture. The speech he read was written by Quentin Tarantino, not the Bible, and he told staff it should guide their day while overseeing an active war. This comes after a previous Pentagon prayer calling for “overwhelming violence” against enemies, raising serious questions about judgment and leadership at the highest level of the military. At the same time, reports show deployed troops dealing with food issues, mail disruptions, and declining morale. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
