Announcer: You’re watching “Fox and Friends.”
[ dissolve to the morning show hosts on-set ]Steve Doocy: Thank you! Welcome back to the third hour of “Fox and Friends.” I’m Steve Doocy, and, joining me as always — Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade!
Gretchen Carlson: Oh, good morning! [ she laughs ]
Brian Kilmeade: Happy Monday!
Steve Doocy: Did everybody have a good weekend?
Gretchen Carlson: GREAT weekend!
Brian Kilmeade: I finally took the tree down!
Steve Doocy: Oh, great! You know, THAT’S how you fight the liberal war on Christmas — you keep the tree up til May!
Gretchen Carlson: You know, I heard the White House doesn’t even call it a Christmas tree — they call it a “Holiday” tree.
Brian Kilmeade: Oh, man! I had to throw mine out because a raccoon had babies in it!
Steve Doocy: Miracle of life! Well, this week was the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden. And shame on President Barack Obama, who is running a campaign ad that argues Mit Romney would not have made the same decision to launch the raid?
Gretchen Carlson: It’s ridiculous! ANYONE would have launched that raid!
Steve Doocy: Absolutely! I mean, name ONE person who wouldn’t have launched that raid!
Brian Kilmeade: I can name one person who wouldnt have launched that raid: Barack Obama!
Steve Doocy: No… Brian…
Gretchen Carlson: No, that doesnt work this time.
Brian Kilmeade: But it always works!
Steve Doocy: Not this time — he already did it. Yeah, no… yep, yep!
Gretchen Carlson: Uh, also — I’m just gonna say something…
Steve Doocy: Uh-oh! Look out! Here she goes!
Gretchen Carlson: How do we know bin Laden is really dead?
Brian Kilmeade: Whoa, there it is!
Gretchen Carlson: I’m serious! Okay? So they say they have pictures. Okay? Well, you can do a lot with Photoshop!
Steve Doocy: Hmm…
Gretchen Carlson: Okay? You can make it look like glaciers are melting.
Steve Doocy: Oh, wow!
Gretchen Carlson: Okay? I once saw a picture of a mountain with four presidents faces on it. OKay? That’s not real!
Steve Doocy: I saw that! Thats not real! That’s not real!
Brian Kilmeade: And, sometimes, people who you think are dead, aren’t dead. I mean, I thought Tupac Shakur was dead, and then I saw he did a concert, why, just last week.
Steve Doocy: No… no… that was a hologram, Brian.
Brian Kilmeade: Uh, but if Tupac was a hologram, the bullet would have gone right through him.
Gretchen Carlson: Hmm… Well, I, for one, hope that Hologram Tupac doesn’t turn to a life of crime.
Brian Kilmeade: Yeah. Sure.
Gretchen Carlson: Because he would be impossible to catch. Alright? [ demonstrating ] I got him! Oh, no — he’s gone!”
Steve Doocy: THat’s a good point. That’s a really good point.
Brian Kilmeade: I don’t know, maybe call the Ghostbusters?
Steve Doocy: Yeah. Alright, moving on… the White House Correspondents Dinner was last week, and there was the President telling jokes again!
Gretchen Carlson: Yeah, he’s always telling jokes!
Steve Doocy: I mean, I guess the President thinks what’s happening to this country is funny?
Brian Kilmeade: Yeah! Ive got a joke for him: What is black and white and lies?
Steve Doocy: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Brian Kilmeade: What?! What’d I do? What? What’s the problem?
Steve Doocy: Brian, do NOT say Barack Obama!
Brian Kilmeade: Oh, I was going to say a panda on Weight Watchers. I mean, black and white and lies: “This bamboo is only six points.” [ he laughs ]
Gretchen Carlson: Well, why were you going to say that?
Brian Kilmeade: I mean, we were just talking about jokes, it popped into my head.. its just so funny!
Steve Doocy: Hmm. Well, one person who’s not laughing this week is Rupert Murdoch, who’s under investigation by British authorities for hacking phones.
Gretchen Carlson: Yeah, so he taped some phone calls. So what?!
Brian Kilmeade: If people didn’t tape phone calls, we never would have had the Jerky Boys!
Steve Doocy: Great point! Great point! Joining us now, live via satellite in London — Rupert Murdoch! Good morning, Rupert!
Rupert Murdoch: [ smiling like a weasel ] Hello, my children!
Brian Kilmeade: Now… you’re in London, correct?
Rupert Murdoch: Correct!
Brian Kilmeade: Now… is it true it’s five hours later there?
Rupert Murdoch: Yes!
Brian Kilmeade: So… you could watch the Yankee game, and then tell us who won before anyone else here knew?
Rupert Murdoch: What?
Steve Doocy: Oh, Brian… please.
Brian Kilmeade: I don’t understand. I bet that’s how he made his fortune, betting on sports!
Steve Doocy: No, no… Alright, now we should disclose that Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News.
Gretchen Carlson: Yeah, and I’d like to disclose that I think Rupert Murdoch is great!
Rupert Murdoch: Thank you.
Steve Doocy: Yeah, and you know, so do I. Why does disclosing have to be so negative?
Gretchen Carlson: Yeah! Right!
Brian Kilmeade: And I should disclose that I don’t quite know what “disclose” means.
Rupert Murdoch: What in the hell is going ON over there?!
Gretchen Carlson: Guys, we’re being rude to our guest. Now, Rupert — what is this parliamentary committee so mad about?
Rupert Murdoch: Oh, they accused me of having a lack of ETHICS!
Steve Doocy: Ooooookay! Here we go again! Affirmative action rears its ugly head again!
Gretchen Carlson: You should only hire an ethnic if you want to hire an ethnic!
Steve Doocy: Absolutely! Absolutely!
Rupert Murdoch: Not “lack of ethnics“! “Lack of ETHICS”! Youre the dumbest people Ive ever met, and Im from Australia!
Steve Doocy: Oh! Australia, huh? “G’day, mate!” [ he laughs ]
Gretchen Carlson: “Top of the morning!” [ she laughs ]
Brian Kilmeade: “Hakuna matata!” [ he laugh and tips an invisible hat ]
Steve Doocy: So what’s next for Rupert Murdoch?
Rupert Murdoch: I’ve made some mistakes, but I’m not gonna let this stop me! I’m gonna continue on with my great Socialist experiment of seeing how misinformed a person can be while hosting a morning news program! [ he laughs ]
Steve Doocy: Oh!
Gretchen Carlson: Well, good luck with that!
Steve Doocy: Yeah, keep us updated!
Brian Kilmeade: [ laughing nervously ] “A panda at Weight Watchers!” [ he laughs ] “Oh, bamboo is only six points — I swear!”
