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.

It feels that way... |

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. |

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" |
