JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Get your golden ticket for the golden age. President Trump giving more details on his $5 million "gold card" visa plan to attract wealthy foreigners and invest in America during today's marathon Cabinet meeting.
...
WATTERS: You love this idea.
GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): You know, at first, when I was listening to Harold -- was that yesterday or two days ago --
WATTERS: Don't listen to Harold.
GUTFELD: I saw his point. But then I was thinking, you know, it sounds like it's discriminating against class. But guess what? It's not about them. It's about us. It doesn't matter what we do to them, right? It's just America first. If we can get $5 trillion out of people who are going to pay it, I don't care if it makes some poor people unhappy.

That like it's fair to the poor immigrant or whatever, but life isn't fair when your entire country is in jeopardy with a mountain of debt. So, you can pay this off, temporarily. It's not about immigration. It is about giving our country, you know, a future. You have to agree with me.
