Steve Doocy: Welcome back to “Fox and Friends”! I’m Steve Doocy. And joinging me, as always — Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade!
Gretchen Carlson: Good morning!
Brian Kilmeade: Happy Monday!
Steve Doocy: Well! It’s been two weeks, and this “Occupy Wall Street” business keeps going! And I, for one, don’t knoqw what these people want!
Gretchen Carlson: I’ll tell you what they need.
Brian Kilmeade: Uh-oh!
Steve Doocy: Look out!
Gretchen Carlson: A shower!
Brian Kilmeade: There she goes!
Steve Doocy: [ laughing ] What really gets me mad… is how people are now comparing Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party.
Gretchen Carlson: You know, it’s apples and oranges.
Steve Doocy: It’s night and day!
Brian Kilmeade: Yeah. Just Batman and bananas.
Gretchen Carlson: I mean, it’s nuts, okay? These protesters want anarchy… and, you know, all the Tea Party ever wanted was no government!
Steve Doocy: [ thinking ] I-isn’t that anarchy?
Gretchen Carlson: Uh — no! [ stumbling ] Anarchy is no government while people play bongos.
Steve Doocy: You know… and I gotta say, you young people have gotta be careful, ’cause it’s so easy to get sucked into this crazy mob mentality.
Brian Kilmeade: So true, so true. I once thought I was following a crowd of people into Yankee Stadium…but it turns out I was in a breast cancer walk. When it was over, I was ten miles from my car and I had to take the bus home.
Steve Doocy: Alright, now, now, get this. According to reports, the protests are costing the city of New York $1 trillion a day!
Brian Kilmeade: Wow… wow…
Gretchen Carlson: Now, that can’t be right.
Steve Doocy: That’s what I heard!
Gretchen Carlson: Okay. Well, when we have a question, we can always go to our fact-checker Lou. Lou?
[ cut to Lou glancing through notes that fall to the floor, so he casts a salute instead ]
Steve Doocy: Aw, good ol’ Lou, always keeping us honest! Alright, moving on. We had a little “incident” this week on “Fox & Friends”.
Brian Kilmeade: Oh, yeah! It got weird!
Steve Doocy: We asked country music legend and voice of “Mondaty Night Football”, Hank Williams, Jr. to come on our show and, uh… let’s say he got himself into a little bit of trouble!
Steve Doocy: Uh, Mr. Williams campared President Obama to Hitler… and we just don’t say that on this show.
Brian Kilmeade: We imply it.
Steve Doocy: That’s right, that’s right. It’s called… manners.
Gretchen Carlson: Exactly! So, here to explain himself, is Hank Williams, Jr.
[ cut to Hank Williams, Jr. ]
Hank Williams, Jr.: Hey there, fellas! I know who the friends is, and who’s the fox! Lookin’ good, Gretchen!
Chris Brooks: Okay, hold up, Hank… [ leaning in ] If I, uh — if I may speak for Mr. Williams.
Steve Doocy: Uh, yeah… and, uh, who are you?
Chris Brooks: I’m Chris Brooks, Mr. Williams’ media representative. i’ll be speaking for him from this point forward. Now, I understand you’re upset, but you have to admit… YOU made a big mistake, by letting Mr. Williams come on your show… and speak for himself.
Hank Williams, Jr.: That’s right!
Chris Brooks: I mean, what did you think he would say? Look at him. He looks like a truck stop Santa Claus.
Hank Williams, Jr.: [ miming pulling a truck horn ] Ho, ho, ho-o-o-o-o-o!!
Steve Doocy: S-so… this is our fault?
Chris Brooks: Well, you had a big role in it… and Mr. Williams would like an apology.
Hank Williams, Jr.: Hell, yeah! Apologize to Bocephus!
Chris Brooks: Hank, stop it… you’re not helping…
Hank Williams, Jr.: Of course I’m not helping, I’m crazy!
Chris Brooks: [ to the pundits ] You introduced Mr. Williams as a man who knew a “thing or two” about politics. Telling him he’s a political analyst is akin to giving a baby a gun.
Hank Williams, Jr.: Hey! Don’t give a baby a gun! President Barack Hitler will just take it away!
Gretchen Carlson: [ smiling ] There he goes again!
Brian Kilmeade: He sure did!
Chris Brooks: You see? That’s what Hank does! He calls everyone he doesn’t like Hitler! He called some of his friends Hitler!
Hank Williams, Jr.: Yeah, most of them are good guys… except for Travis — he’s a real Hitler!
Steve Doocy: I-I’m sorry… I don’t see how this is our problem.
Chris Brooks: Like I said — you let him talk. Waht Mr. Williams is good at, is writing songs. Like, uh, “There’s a Tear in My Beer”… and sing-talking in front of cheerleaders from “Monday Night Football”.
Hank Williams, Jr.: Hmm-hmm.
Chris Brooks: Now… he wants to make this right, and he wrote a song to prove it.
Steve Doocy: Well, let’s hear it.
Hank Williams, Jr.: You want me to sing it now?
Chris Brooks: Yes. Now.
Hank Williams, Jr.: [ screaming ]
“Are you ready for an apology?!
Well, you NOT gonna get ooooone!
Because I calls ’em like I see ’em, and Obama’s –“
[ picture cuts out ]
Steve Doocy: Wow! Uh… well, I think I speak for all of us when I say: “Apology accepted!”
Gretchen Carlson: Let’s take a quick break. But, first, our fact-checkers have finished combing over the firs two hours of the show, and we have a few corrections!
