TODD: One of the best tricks that the left has done is they have cornered the language of compassion, and in cornering the language of compassion, they\u2019ve sort of got first-brand status in this. “First-brand status” is sort of the generic status. You go into a restaurant; you order a Coke, and they\u2019ll often say, “Is Pepsi okay?” “That\u2019s fine.” Then some people, who are adherents to the social justice organization that also sells Coke, side hustles, the sugar water — which is tasty.<\/p>\n
But the social justice is sort of the main thing, but, oh yeah, Pepsi will work. “Got a Kleenex?” It\u2019s the generic. So it takes place in the mind of, “Oh, okay, that\u2019s the thing that I blow my beak into, and that\u2019s the bubbled sugar water I drink \u2019cause it makes me feel good, Coke.” So people develop this first-brand status. It\u2019s a really powerful status. People have the capacity to remember, usually, three brand names of things.<\/p>\n
I used to… This will embarrass a bunch of people, but I used to be a guest lecturer at UCLA Anderson School of Media for returning MBA students and young wannabe MBAs and an expert used to doing this in branding and the brand position so the Democrats by owning compassion, as being the brand of compassion, they get away with everything. And it helps to have the mockingbird media on your side fully and completely on your side, unquestionably on your side.<\/p>\n

But look at illegal immigration. We shared… Was it yesterday or the day before on Rush\u2019s program, we shared the story of a rancher out checking his property? And look, when you\u2019re in borderland, you check your property. Well, A, if you have a big ranch, you check your property. You check your fence lines, check your animals. You check. And he ran across seven abandoned children.<\/p>\n
Just imagine your feeling! On your property, there is an infant naked and dust covered, crying. All the kids under the age of 7. And there\u2019s no parent. There\u2019s no adult. That\u2019s the compassion of a system that is encouraging and making easy the life of human traffickers whose sole job is to get you there. That\u2019s how we see the videos of little kids being dropped off of 13-, 15-foot fences.<\/p>\n
Okay, they\u2019re in America! And the right fails to explain the compassion of keeping the lifeboat in order, and I really do believe this is the proper metaphor for us as a country on the globe. We are 5% of the world\u2019s population; we\u2019ve taken in 20% of their displaced peoples. This is a literal example of killing, just … the golden goose, is that cliched enough to make sense?<\/p>\n
Continuing to flood the system, to flood the lifeboat of the world with people who are expecting something, expecting aid, expecting succor — and eventually it\u2019s gone. Eventually, the boat can\u2019t float, the food is gone, the fuel\u2019s out. Do I communicate this clearly enough? But the left parks this stuff under this brand hanger of compassion — when in fact, if you want to screw up a family or an organization, don\u2019t have rules.<\/p>\n
Have moods. If you want to make a kid crazy, have moods in your home. Not rules. Some days you can sit on the couch. The other days you get slapped silly. “I\u2019ll slap you upside the head for sitting on the couch!” “But I could sit here yesterday.” “That was yesterday,” or demonstrate rules for some and not for others. “How come my sister gets to stay up late?” “Because I like her better than you.”<\/p>\n
Just try this in the memo. And great big extension of a home. There is no compassion in this. There is no compassion in creating a sum by which you take the world\u2019s safe house… That\u2019s what we are. We\u2019re the world\u2019s safe house. Is being made unsafe with every single time we allow a coyote to enter this country and to drop someone off. Those people are trafficked and they\u2019re likely to be abused here into forms of labor slavery and sex slavery.<\/p>\n
It happens here. There was a 900% increase in migrant encounters in April compared to last year — 900% more human beings brought here, 900% more opportunities to take these young kids and say, “Your parents wanted you out of the garbage hole of Marxism that they\u2019re in. They sent you here, and now you\u2019re an indentured servant for the next 10 or 15 years.” But the crazy thing is, the coyotes and the cartels, they don\u2019t keep their word, their contracts.<\/p>\n
Those things can end. “No, we decided it\u2019s 40 years that you work for us without pay or very little or sustenance.” Let\u2019s step in front of this. Laws are compassionate. Order is compassionate. (laughs) God could have set the world up so that there were land sharks. He could have! He could decide today, “I\u2019m gonna invent plants that can run and eat you.” He could do that!<\/p>\n

God could say, “You know what\u2019s kind of funny? What if I was to make one of those Venus flytraps, but it could run and chase after people and eat \u2019em?” Well, it would be completely disordered – and this is so remarkable that we have a political party inserting disorder into the body politic, into the body society, and they get away with saying it\u2019s compassion.<\/p>\n
The compassion is, “Let\u2019s make the safe house safe.” The compassion is, “Let\u2019s apply the consistencies and restraint that made it a safe house to begin with. Let\u2019s apply the sort of American philanthropy that\u2019s made us by far the biggest giver of nonofficial and official foreign aid.” I prefer unofficial. Charity trumps taxes; it always will because people receive it in love, and it\u2019s given in love.<\/p>\n
Back in 2018 the Maha talked about how these migrants or illegal immigrant caravan organizers were using women and children as human shields.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
