Snopes: Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction, not the Bible

Snopes found that Pete Hegseth recited Quentin Tarantino's profanity-laced "Ezekiel" monologue from Pulp Fiction, not a verse from the Bible. Hegseth said a lead mission planner for an Iran rescue operation delivered the passage to him and told him planners use it ahead of missions. Snopes matched the exact lines Hegseth read to Pulp Fiction's script and labeled the passage fictional. That matters because Hegseth presented the passage as scripture during a Pentagon worship service, implying mission planners rely on biblical texts before operations.
