Seemingly Intoxicated guest is cut off during Fox News appearance to talk Trump parade
Fox News hosts had to cut an interview discussing President Donald Trump's military parade short after their guest appeared to be drunk on-air.
Hours into their coverage of Trump's military parade honoring the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, which fell on the president's 79th birthday, hosts Lawrence Jones and Emily Compagno ran into trouble while interviewing Rebekah Koffler, a pro-Trump former intelligence officer, Mediaite reported.
Before her on-air appearance, Koffler shared a foreboding image of a bottle of Saint-Hilaire on X.
'Well @POTUS is apparently encroaching on my airtime! My hit is moved to 8:20 – 8:30 pm depending on how long #Trump takes. I'm honored. Refilling my #champagne glass while waiting for my hit!' she wrote.
When Koffler was finally on-air, Compagno asked what she thought of the parade's 'incredible symbolism and messaging.'
Koffler replied, while slurring her words, 'I am so excited, Emily, and Lucas Tomlinson, everybody. Like, this is incredible. Finally the United States is… uh… is back.'
'I want really thank all of our Army, Navy, and Air Force officers who have been sacrificing their lives, literally. Their families have been contributing to the mission. Most of the time for the past quarter of a century because of the mismanagement of the, uh, the administrative state, they've been fighting these foreign wars. But with our new commander-in-chief, Donald J. Trump, they are prioritizing America first,' she slurred.
Koffler then began to drag on, telling hosts, 'And I wanna thank these officers for all of these sacrifices and all of the hardships that their families have endured. Lawrence Jones, you are doing– you're your [unintelligible], man! You guys and [unintelligible] Lucas! I wanna thank–' before she was cut off.

Starmer confident Trump will back Aukus pact after US launches review
Speaking to reporters ahead of the G7 summit in Canada, the Prime Minister said he did not have 'any doubt' that the agreement would progress. The trilateral Aukus partnership, believed to be aimed at countering China, involves building a new fleet of nuclear-powered attack submarines and co-operating in other areas of defence. Australia would also get its first subs from the US under the deal. Asked what his message to the US president would be on the importance of the pact, Sir Keir, who is due to meet Mr Trump in Kananaskis next week, said: 'Aukus is really important. We're fully committed to it.' Sir Keir added it was 'not unusual for an incoming government to do a review of a project like that', and that Labour had done similar. 'We, of course, looked into the issue when we came into government.. But I'm 100% committed to it. I'm really clear about that.' Asked if he was confident Mr Trump would back it, he said: 'Yeah, I think so. It's a really important project. So I don't have any doubt that this will progress.' Confirming the review on Thursday, the White House said it wanted to make sure the pact was 'aligned with the president's America First agenda.'
