Brian Kilmeade is trying to dismiss a study of Alzheimer's disease that concludes people who stay in relationships deal with the disease better; his logic is confounding. The last two seconds is a real gem though.
I think the part where he slips up and refers to other ethnicities as "other species" is more telling to be honest.

"If a person possesses any tolerable amount of common sense and experience, his own mode of laying out his existence is the best, not because it is the best in itself, but because it is his own mode. Human beings are not like sheep; and even sheep are not undistinguishably alike. A man cannot get a coat or a pair of boots to fit him, unless they are either made to his measure, or he has a whole warehouseful to choose from: and is it easier to fit him with a life than with a coat, or are human beings more like one another in their whole physical and spiritual conformation than in the shape of their feet?"
Last time I checked, all humans belong to the species homo sapiens per definition. Unless he is talking about inter-species marriage... though I would have thought that marriage between human and animal would be a larger issue than between male and male..
I'm curious what the exact context is in that discussion that would have made what he said even have the slightest appearance of having the tiniest hint of rationality/logic. Though the face on the girl in that clip is funny, she just has a "I can't believe I'm hearing this ... try not to look outraged ... I'm a morning show host, I must be friendly and vapid... I must be friendly and vapid" look.
Someone give the gist for those of us unable to access video?
Brian Kilmeade says something about how americans interbreed with other "species" (meaning races) and that other places like Sweden are pure because "Swedes breed with Swedes" somehow this means the study about Alzheimer's doesn't apply to people in the US.
Here's what he says in the video:
"We keep marrying other species and other ethnics"
"The Swedes have pure genes because they marry other Swedes, because that's the rule. Finland.. In Finland, Fins marry other Fins so they have a pure society. In america, we marry everybody. So we'll marry Italians, Irish. [This study] does not apply to us"

I... see.
Well a. Freudian field day,
and b. Who the heck is Brian Kilmeade when he sneaks out of the asylum?
