In a very unintentionally funny moment from Fox News Channel, a guest appeared live on air while seemingly being quite intoxicated, and quickly got kicked off the show by the two hosts. The incident occured on the night of Saturday, June 14, during a segment covering President Donald Trump’s military parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
The two hosts were Lawrence Jones and Emily Compagno, who were hosting FNC coverage of the massive parade and all the fun things going on during it, such as the presence of M1 Abrams tanks and reenactors in the uniforms of past eras in military history. They had on, as part of that coverage, a pro-Trump former intelligence officer named Rebekah Koffler around 9:30 pm EST, and it was she who appeared to be drunk for the show.
Hilariously, Koffler had hinted at the drunkenness problem in a post on X somewhat before her scheduled airtime, saying, in a since-deleted tweet, that she was refilling her champagne glass because her appearance had been pushed back. She said, “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! 
”
Then, after apparently having some champagne refills, she appeared on FNC. Introducing her, Emily Compagno said, “Well, guys, here with us now former defense intel agency officer Rebekah Koffler. Rebekah, what are your thoughts tonight on the incredible symbolism and the messaging that we saw here tonight from the commander-in-chief on our Army’s 250th birthday?”
Koffler then started rambling and slurring her words, live on air. She said, beginning, “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.”
Continuing, she kept rambling and seemingly forgot her words at one point, saying, “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.”
Not done, Koffler kept up the rambling and let loose with some unintelligible words as she slurred her way through commenting on the parade, saying, “But with our new commander-in-chief, Donald J. Trump, they are prioritizing America first. 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–”

At that point, Koffler was tossed off the show and was cut off right then, with Compagno thanking Koffler for coming on and making sure she was off the air and stopped from slurring yet more words, saying, “Thank you so much, Rebekah. Thank you and thank you for your service, too. Well, our final thoughts on this historic patriotic celebration when we return.”
