Saturday Night Live\u2018s Pete Hegseth has a solution for oil tankers stuck in the Strait of Hormuz by the threat of Iranian mines: do what he used to do at DUI checkpoints.<\/p>\n
The Defense secretary (Colin Jost) was summoned by Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) at a gas station after the president tried to explain away his broken campaign promises of no new wars and low gas prices. And Hegseth, emerging from the back seat of a family\u2019s car along with dozens of empty beer cans, began by complaining about<\/a> the press questioning him and the administration about the war<\/a>, which reportedly cost about $11.3 billion<\/a> in just the first week.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cThe news is: we won! Hashtag \u2018winning!\u2019 So you can stop asking me all about it. Don\u2019t even worry about it<\/a>,\u201d he said. \u201cThe real problem is all you gaybies\u2014gay babies, copyright\u2014all you gaybies in the media are completely unpatriotic, okay? They\u2019re using what I do and say to make me look like a fool!\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cAnd all you dweebs, stop saying the Strait of Hormuz is closed: it\u2019s wide open.\u201d<\/p>\n After Iran shut it down, causing oil and gas prices to spike, Trump told oil tankers to just \u201cshow some guts\u201d\u2014despite the mines. And SNL\u2018s Hegseth was on the same page.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re an oil tanker, and you\u2019re driving it, and you see one of those mines, do what I do at a DUI checkpoint: close your eyes and gun it!\u201d instructed Hegseth.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
