Just looking at X it will not be enough...calls for Fox firing him not just from the left but the right also...

[mystery-ak]

This is basically what they are all saying... this and calling Brian and Fox News Nazis

Mathew Dowd lost his gig at MSNBC for pointing out that Charlie Kirk had engaged in hate speech.

Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade, openly suggests that we should euthanize the homeless and there’s zero outrage or repercussions.

I guess Fox demotes him from any screen presence.  Kilmeade had almost 20 years in with Fox, I hope he doesn't lose that.

Even with the contextual basis,  the words came out like the words came out. 

The more I think about it, the less I think he survives this,

I'll be surprised if he does...they may make him *retire*..

What will Gutfeld do without Brain?

LOL....He still has Jesse Watters...

[240B]

They could do an MSNBC type of 'termination'.
That is, they could so-called 'fire' him for a few weeks and then silently bring him back in some different role.

[Lando Lincoln]

I'll be surprised if he does...they may make him *retire*..

Especially with intense focus on the rhetoric of the Left and Charlie Kirk,  this seems like a career ender.

[mountaineer]

Could have said it in Canada. They suicide mentally ill people all the time.

Kilmeade was opining about setting tougher policy; Dowd was celebrating the murder of an actual human being.

There is a difference.

Heck, BOR survived after his Fox escapades, and landed a gig at Newmax. Kilmeade?   After a brief vac, I bet he'll land there or at OANN.

[GtHawk]

Well Kilmeade can always spend more time working wih his soccer team🤷🏼‍♂️

[Wingnut]

LOL....He still has Jesse Watters...

Well, that is true!

The apology

[240B]

In olden times the quote was "pride goes before the fall".
Today the quote is, "the apology goes before the fall".

Today, an apology has become a death sentence.
That is why so many celebrities these days say loudly, "NEVER APOLOGIZE!"

The public arena in the media is a mine field.

Very easy to step on a mine.

It also comes with great responsibility.

Regarding violent crime and the mentally ill, it is irrelevant if they are mentally ill or not (with very few exceptions) if they commit violent crime.

They have to be locked up. Mental illness isn't a get out of jail card. There are secure facilities designed specifically for the mentally ill who are dangerous and must be isolated from society.

Regarding the exceptions, that would be someone who had a previously unknown tumor that seriously affects their brain and removing it actually fixes the issue. Those are extremely rare.

[240B]

Nope. No apology. No context.

That "just kill um" comment is fatal. I do not see how he can come back from that.

[DCPatriot]

Perhaps a bit of empathy for Brian Kilmeade is in order here.

How many of us still get emotional looking at the still shots of that fatal attack on Iryna?

Anyone of us could have blurted out, "Kill them all!"


....then again, nobody here is on the Fox & Friends couch and has a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast either which I'm sure pays him a healthy 7 or 8 figure annual income. 

Hope his career survives this.

I like Kilmeade. I too hope he survives this. The job is a minefield. I wouldn't last a minute on live TV... I have a hard time getting something to come out right writing it down and still fail, no way could I do it live...

There was context @240B   I watched this segment live and it was obvious what he was saying.

There's also an apology:

I like Brian too. I hope I am wrong and that you are right.

That's funny ... I've never been a fan of Brian's specifically, or that fakakta curvy couch in general.

Yet, here I am.

No argument in principle. OTOH, this is not a rookie.  He has 20 years at Fox alone.  He knows better, considering this is his bread and butter, you'd think he had some restraint.

That is what made Limbaugh such a legend,.  He knew exactly how far to take his POV, without triggering massive cancelation responses.  (Exception NFL comments)
Good luck Brian, but Fox is going to feel the heat, and will have to do something.
