This SNL Cold Open parodies President Trump (James Austin Johnson) and Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) addressing high gas prices. Here are the key moments and highlights:
- Family Road Trip: The sketch begins with a family in a car, discussing the high cost of gas ($5 a gallon) and jokingly considering leaving a child behind to save money (0:08 - 0:34).
- Trump's Rationale: Trump appears, blaming gas prices on the "Epstein violence" and the "butterfly effect" (0:52 - 0:57).
- Stock Market Forecast: Trump uses a Harry Styles analogy to describe the stock market, saying it is going in "one direction: down" (1:33 - 1:42).
- Foreign Policy: Trump mentions a war with Iran, claiming they make gas and that the US will win because "Iran is old" (1:53 - 2:05).
- Pete Hegseth Joins: Pete Hegseth arrives in the backseat, thanking Trump for "beautiful size 16 floor shine shoes" (3:20 - 3:30).
- Closing Advice: Hegseth offers advice on navigating the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting tanker drivers close their eyes at landmines (4:46 - 5:02).
- Live from New York: The sketch ends with the traditional "Live from New York, it's Saturday night" catchphrase (5:12).
