Today on The Matt Walsh Show: Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launches a GoFundMe campaign to help her grandmother, who lives in poverty in Puerto Rico. Plus, Democrats have already defunded police departments across the country amid a surge in violent crime, now they ve unveiled their brilliant next step: Stop building jails because that will surely solve the crime problem. And 5 headlines, including women inmates speaking of jails, and former inmates speaking out about men being put in cells with them, where is the compassionate left on that? Plus, Katie Hill sues media outlets over the nude photos of her that they published, and she loses the case. And more information comes out about UFOs that infest our skies. Are they really technology from outer space or foreign adversaries? And if they are, should we be concerned that our own military is more focused on diversity and inclusion than on defending our nation?
00:00:35.080And more information comes out about the UFOs that infest our skies.
00:00:38.460Are they really technology from outer space or from foreign adversaries?
00:00:42.500And if they are from foreign adversaries, should we be concerned that our own military is more focused on diversity and inclusion than on defending our nation?
00:00:50.980All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:59.760Before we begin today, I want to revisit something briefly that we discussed yesterday.
00:01:07.800Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted pictures of her abuela's dilapidated home in Puerto Rico,
00:01:14.020blaming the Trump administration for the squalid conditions that her grandmother is forced to live in.
00:01:18.080Now, I and plenty of other people pointed out that perhaps AOC herself, being a wealthy and famous politician,
00:01:25.340might want to reach into her own pocket and help her poor abuela.
00:01:30.200You would think she has more than enough resources to do that.
00:01:34.020But we have to understand that AOC has other expenses that she has to attend to.
00:02:39.740As we know, there is an epidemic of violent crime all across the country.
00:02:44.200This epidemic is really just an extension of a worsening of the epidemic that had already been plaguing many major cities for decades.
00:02:53.220As Democrats move to defund police departments, release prisoners from jail or keep them out of jail to begin with, many cities are seeing their already existent violent crime problem surge now to terrifying new levels.
00:05:51.840You know he's going to commit another crime, and he does, and repeat the process forever.
00:05:56.140This is a violent criminal known to the system as a violent criminal, and yet allowed to remain on the street, victimizing innocent people.
00:06:06.760And you notice this with most of the attacks we've heard about, these attacks against Asian people.
00:06:12.500Most of the cases we've heard about, most of the time, it's someone who's been randomly assaulting people for years, like a hobby.
00:06:19.100We notice this with many of BLM's criminal martyrs, men who had committed one crime after another, and yet were still on the street.
00:06:31.160Well, not to give her the stage yet again, as I did in my opening monologue yesterday, but it's not my fault that she keeps saying stupid things, so what can I do?
00:06:40.680So AOC has an idea, which she explained during a press conference yesterday.
00:06:45.360This is her idea for what we can do about all the crime.
00:06:49.780If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them.
00:06:57.160The answer is to make sure that we actually build more hospitals, we pay organizers, we get people mental health care and overall health care, employment, etc.
00:07:05.980It's to support communities, not throw them away.
00:07:08.200First of all, I will be expecting a press conference like that to thank me for the help that I'll be giving her abuela.
00:07:18.780I'm not going to hold my breath, but she says the answer to crime is to stop building jails.
00:07:54.940The problem, of course, is that in reality, if you have fewer jails and fewer people in jails, the people who would otherwise be in jail have to go somewhere.
00:08:06.400And in this case, they will go back into their communities where they will become the problem of someone other than AOC or her fellow Democratic lawmakers.
00:08:16.080Always remember that the people telling us to tear down the jails and the police departments, they are almost every time in nearly every case.
00:08:24.380People who live in communities where violent crime is not a major issue to begin with.
00:08:29.320It's easy for them to have compassion for violent criminals because someone else will have to pay the price for their compassion.
00:08:37.480And you'll notice that about Democratic leftist compassion.
