Jimmy Kimmel offers Tucker Carlson his sperm after Fox News host freaks out over low count in US men

?width=1200&height=675

Fox News host Tucker Carlson had a freakout over a recent report that American males have lower sperm counts than they once did. ABC host Jimmy Kimmel is offering to help by offering the right-wing personality his own sperm.

"While many of us are still worried about COVID and climate change, Tucker Carlson is worrying on another level," Kimmel began. "Tucker right now is worried about our testicles."

Saying that it "may be the biggest health crisis" since the pandemic, Carlson panicked about "falling testosterone levels which have completely reshaped our society. Falling sperm counts, which may make it impossible to continue the human race. Why is this happening? Probably because of chemicals in our environment."

Although I did love the various headlines I saw... "Guess who just got a call from his doctor?"... My thought was that he was talking about white males. Funny that someone who used to rant about 'welfare queens' and how many kids they have is suddenly worrying about someone's ability to have kids. It is this thought that made me think that he means white males only.

Him: irrelevant, bloviating, water-carrying, Republican, white suprematists.

Unfortunately, although he is a shriveled, sad, hollow human, he still has a big podium, on FOX.

responders, hospital resources, health care workers, are required to deal with this? How many have died? How many businesses have failed? A little perspective here.

And
I remember hearing about this before the pandemic.

And apparently, the older sperm counts are from very limited samples and are not necessarily reliable.

There are still far too many people on this planet, and the population continues to grow. As bad as this pandemic is, it's not putting any kind of a dent into that.

Does that mean he's gone all Green New Deal on us, and will soon be singing Kumbaya with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

No, that's not what it means.

so I suppose I should understand his concern. If a testosterone molecule wandered into his system, it would die of loneliness.

I think Kimmel only said he had a source (*wink* *wink*), not that he was offering his own. I wonder if Carlson would take him up if it were Guillermo doing the procurement.
