GREG GUTFELD (HOST): Well, the testimony, ironically, comes from these people that are pushing the disinformation. I know we've already talked about it, but we can't get a straight answer out of them. I mean, they did an investigation on the whips, and it turns out it was a reign, and they're the ones that are telling us that we have to -- we have to watch what we say.
There's one thing that kind of drives me crazy. We always get into this back and forth about compassion. And, you know, we are a compassionate country. We want people who are truly in danger to come here, there's no question about that. But if you are truly a refugee escaping death or danger, you know, you do go to closest safe haven. If you're on life boat you turn down first boat, you don't turn down the first boat that comes your way and say, "You know what? That's not up to my standards, there's no mini bar."
That's what's happening here. People are literally -- they are going -- they're entering in -- they're going into Mexico they go, "Nah, we're going to go to America." I mean who's racist? Who's racist? Is it the people that are skipping Mexico to come here? Why don't they stop in Mexico? Why is "Remain in Mexico" such a big deal, right?
