== Denmark comments ==

In August 2018, Regan likened Denmark to Venezuela. Regan said Denmark's economic model was unfeasible and argued, "there's something rotten in Denmark". During the segment, Regan sought to demonstrate that the economic model in Denmark was unfeasible.York, Chris (August 13, 2018). "[https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/fox-business-denmark_uk_5b718dece4b0ae32af99f813 Fox Host's Attempt To Warn Of Perils Of Denmark's Socialism Backfires]". Huffington Post UK. She made a number of misleading claims about Denmark, including: "everyone in Denmark is working for the government" and "no one wants to work". The segment stirred controversy in both Denmark and the U.S., with news outlets, politicians, experts, and the Danish government noting that, relative to the United States, Denmark is ranked higher on indicators of economic freedom, ease-of-doing-business, and happiness, and has higher employment figures.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bt.dk/samfund/faktatjek-her-er-sandt-og-falsk-i-studievaerts-udsagn-om-danmark|title=Faktatjek: Her er sandt og falsk i studieværts udsagn om Danmark|work=www.bt.dk|date=August 13, 2018|language=da}}{{Cite news|last1=Levring|first1=Peter|last2=Wienberg|first2=Christian|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-14/fox-news-item-draws-an-angry-reaction-from-the-danish-government|title=Fox News Item Draws an Angry Reaction From the Danish Government|date=August 14, 2018|website=Bloomberg News}} Regan's figures about Danish unemployment were only correct if she included unemployed babies, children, and retired people; Denmark's unemployment rate was actually lower than that of the U.S. Danish Social Democrat politician Dan Jørgensen ridiculed and criticized Regan's remarks, calling them "untrue." Regan also said, "nobody graduates from school" because the government "pays" students to go to school; according to The Washington Post, while direct comparisons are difficult, fewer than 60% of US college students finish in six years, whereas in Denmark, 79% of undergraduates finish their coursework. The paper noted that this includes American students who cannot afford college in the United States.{{cite news|newspaper=Washington Post|title=Fox compared 'socialist' Denmark to Venezuela, sparking a puzzled backlash from top officials|date=August 14, 2018|first=Rick|last=Noack|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2018/08/14/fox-compared-socialist-denmark-venezuela-sparking-puzzled-backlash-top-officials/}}

After her remarks were criticized in the US and Danish press, Regan attempted to clarify her remarks, saying: "Just to be clear, I was never implying that conditions in Denmark were similar in any way to the current tragedy on the ground there in Venezuela". She added, "I was merely pointing out, using reports from The Atlantic, The Independent, and other publications, that socialism is not the way." These sources have since rebutted her claim, stating, "Our articles do not show that socialism does not definitively work".{{cite news |last1=Wienberg |first1=Christian |title=Fox Business Anchor Clarifies Her Comments After Danish Outrage |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-15/fox-business-anchor-clarifies-her-comments-after-danish-outrage |date=August 15, 2018 |work=Bloomberg News |url-access=subscription}}
