quote: Kilmeade and two colleagues were discussing a study that, based on research done in Finland and Sweden, showed people who stay married are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's. Kilmeade questioned the results, though, saying, "We are -- we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other ..."
At this point, his co-host tried to -- in that jokey morning show way -- tell Kilmeade he needed to shut up, and quick, for his own sake. But he didn't get the message, adding, "See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes .... Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society."

Around the middle there, Gretchen Carlson almost appears to be genuinely offended like a real human, but then, somehow, she's all laughs by the end.

In fairness, that is her job.
I can honestly say that I've never watched any of those vapid morning "news" shows in my life. (Aside from incidental viewing passing by the screen when someone else is watching, which is unavoidable.)
The funniest part of all this, though, is the entirely inappropriate use of the word "species." I can hardly believe some people have their heads that far up their racist asses. But then again, these are usually the same people who think evolution is a crock.

(It seems to me that the use of the word "species" reflects what he wants. i.e. He probably wishes that the different races *were* different species and unable to interbreed successfully)

I've just realized that the clip linked to is shorter than the one I originally saw yesterday, and doesn't show Carlson laughing at the end. Look here, anyone that I might have confused.

No, I think the funniest part is probably how he lumps the Irish in with those "other species", even though his name is Kilmeade.

It's the old dehumanizing trick that the Nazis were so fond of- they convinced themselves and their followers that they were "real" humans and everyone else was "subhuman".
Will FOX do anything about this tool?
