RUSH: Where is the Hollywood telethon for the suffering children crossing the border? We do "We Are the World" for the starving in Ethiopia. Where is the telethon?
Where is the massive leftist outpouring of compassion and fundraising for these hungry, thirsty, ill, sick, victimized-through-no-fault-of-their-own children? It's just like you said to me yesterday, "Rush, you may as well give it up. You're not got gonna win this."
I said, "Win what?"
"You're not gonna convince people to send the kids back."
I said, "Why does somebody think that's what I'm doing?"
"Rush, there's nobody under 25 in this country who sees a bunch of poor, sick kids crossing the border who thinks they ought to be sent back."
But I don't think that. My concern for these kids goes far deeper. I mean, Tom Coburn said (paraphrasing), "First class airfare. Send them back home for much less than the $3.8 billion Obama wants." But the point was, "Rush, they've already won the issue. Nobody sees this is a problem. It's just some kids that showed up. Okay, it may be 300,000 or 50,000, it's no different than a poor kid showing up at your back door. You do not send him away." And I think it's part of the trick that's being played.
But, anyway, where is a telethon? Why not? Why won't there be a telethon? Why? I mean, this is made to order for some rock group like Bono, U2, Sting, Bon Jovi, take your pick. Angelina Jolie. Well, does she sing? It actually doesn't matter if she sings, right? She can do whatever she wants and we'll watch. Where is the telethon? (interruption) See, that's the answer. You can't tell the story. If you're gonna do a telethon, you have to explain why you're doing it. You have to tell the story. "We Are the World" and you're doing a national worldwide fundraising effort for starving in Biafra, you can blame it on America. You can blame it on some dictator. You can blame it on global warming. 
You can explain, but you can't tell the story here.
You start doing a telethon, start raising money, start asking people to donate, you gotta tell 'em why. Then you gotta present the personal history stories of these kids. You gotta go back to their native countries and find out what's so bad there, why they're coming here, how they got here. And that's something nobody wants to shine any light on. Nobody wants to really tell the story.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Another reason why there will not be a telethon to raise money for the children: These kids are all fleeing socialist countries. Not only that, they are fleeing preindustrial environmental paradises: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras. I mean, these are the places that Hollywood leftists have always considered heaven on earth, and you can't tell the story without that.
I mean, you have to tell the story if you do a telethon, and you cannot explain what's wrong in El Salvador or these places that were supposedly the garden variety of what the planet should be. You cannot. These leftists cannot do a telethon which basically would have to conclude that socialism fails. So there is that. But I ask the question rhetorically anyway just to make the point.
They have to be in a well to get a telethon...................
Just got home and was listening to Rush on the way.
He is making a real darn good point,
1. Where is the telethon?
2. Why can’t we see pictures from these camps?
3. Why can’t anyone talk to the staff there?
4. Why can’t they talk to the kids?
5. Why have Churches and Pastors been banned?
6. If Glenn Beck is raising money for these kids...the only person who is pushing people to do that by the way...is that donation going to be declined?
Yeah, these are some darn good questions. What if only part of this “story” is there are some kids...but the rest are adults/young men recruited by the regime?
Governors and Congress-critters can’t get into the facilities unannounced. They have to go through a ‘staged tour’ with no interviews, no pictures etc.
Rush is asking a darn good question...what is going on behind the front story? And if this is the front story, what is the back? America is a huge sympathetic country and pictures etc. would motivate people to help...instead of protest.
Maybe those busses bound for Murrieta, Ca didn’t have children on board at all? Something here stinks to high heaven and the kids are just a pawn in a very elaborate ruse...
So-maybe Rush needs to host a “radiothon”. Turn the tables. Make conservatives the ones who do things “for the children”. And get the real stories out there. Just a thought.
Don't give Glenn Beck any ideas, now.
How about a ‘Hands across America’ type event like they did in the 80s? If we all joined hands, we could seal the border.
Has Michelle tweeted about the children? Is Barrack going to the border to make sure there are no alligators in the moat?
Do they only care about children that look like President Obama’s sons, is he had sons?
I guarantee you there are 4-5 times more adults.
I’m now hearing groups get very vocal about “Saving the Children. It’s a humanitarian issue”...
The hell you say. It’s an invasion and I look at them the same way I would if I were in Vietnam or the Middle East and a kid walked up to me, smiling, with a live grenade in his hand.
No Sale. GO HOME! Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect Any Money...
For that matter, where’s Mooch and her #hashtags?
