People Can't Believe Pete Hegseth's Drone Promo Isn't A Skit [View all]

A promotional video featuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth touting President Donald Trump’s new executive order to “unleash American drone dominance” is going viral for the way it was filmed.

The clip shows the former Fox News personality promising to fulfill Trump’s order. He then plucks a memo from a hovering drone as Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” blares in the background.

“This is the future,” Hegseth declares. “We’re in the fight. We’re in the fight to win it. And we’re never gonna back down.”

It’s sparked comparisons to mockumentaries.

“Did Christopher Guest or Ricky Gervais direct this Pentagon/Hegseth clip?? If so, I think they nailed it,” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter), where the video has been widely shared.
