GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): In terms of the complaints, there's no video, medical records, or public reports, but I have to admit Jerry Nadler went there. And you know what he said? The food comes in small portions.

JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): And has maggots in it.

GUTFELD: Yeah, but it's in small portions.

TARLOV: I get you want to call him fat, but there's --

GUTFELD: No. Why would you say that? He has a medical condition, Jessica, my God. He's obese, not fat. But the conditions are roughly the same as where they came from. Messy johns, medical delays. But maggots or not, the food is dietitian approved. I don't see the maggots. Why aren't they documented? They get 24/7 medical access. But here's the key, and this is the only thing you need to remember. When the opposition to immigration policy scales up, the complaints spike. They're aggregated, and they are amplified, designed to set the stage for this chaotic mess. But these people, you do not have to fear them, you do not have to listen to them, they created the problem, they have lost the privilege of input. You can complain all you want about the maggots. I don't believe you. Because I don't believe any Democrat about immigration. It's just like commenting on Trump's health after enabling Biden's cover up. I don't have to listen to that anymore. You guys blew it. Trump sealed what you broke, the border. Now he's cleaning up the aftermath. You can't stand there and tell us how to clean up the mess. You lost that right.

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Jessica, I will go to you. Why does it have to go from -- instead of saying, fix this problem -- if there are maggots in the food, like again, I don't know --

GUTFELD: Who cares if there are maggots?
