US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recited a prayer at the Pentagon during a sermon about a rescue mission in Iran. He attributed the prayer to Ezekiel 25:17, but the text closely mirrors Samuel L. Jackson's monologue from Quentin Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction. The actual biblical passage is significantly shorter. The video went viral on social media, with users and AI chatbots confirming the prayer was fictional, not biblical.
