Host Matt Damon once again took on the role of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on “Saturday Night Live” who reveals to his drinking buddies Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel what Trump’s political future will look like.
Kavanaugh and Hegseth (Colin Jost) initially brag about what they’ve been up to – abolishing abortions, starting a war. This leads Kavanaugh to talk about the “real” war: “male loneliness.”
“I used to always have my buddies to hang out with… I just wish there were more people in this government you could really screw with,” he laments as Patel (Aziz Ansari) enters the bar.
Patel brings his own bourbon
“Does the bar accept Kash?!” shouts the FBI director before revealing a bottle of bourbon with his name engraved on it.
“I bring my own alcohol into bars because some people think I’m a minor with a fake ID. They say, ‘Nobody would make a face like that in official photos,'” he says, mimicking Patel’s wide-eyed look.
“We’re all living the American Dream,” he announces to his friends. “I’m the first in my family to go to college – at parties, many years after graduation.”
Lie detectors and open relationships
When Kavanaugh asks whether Patel is really so paranoid as to subject FBI employees to polygraph tests, Patel denies it.
“No, I told them to make a graphic of everyone at the FBI who is poly. My girlfriend wants to open up about our relationship!” he says as they high-five each other. “Yes, she means she wants to bring other men into the bedroom – and leave me in the living room.”
Then Kavanaugh uses the moment to confide something “top secret” to his friends.
Trump’s third term
“We will approve Trump for a third term,” he says – whereupon Hegseth and Patel completely freak out.
“I thought that was unconstitutional?” asks the defense minister.
“It was,” Kavanaugh replies, “until Trump found the original Constitution and wrote at the end: ‘Sike!’ We will live forever!”
