Kim Backs Down, Solving A Monumental Problem, ESPN’s Pathetic Politics

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see Kim Jong-Un has publicly back down from his threats to fire missiles towards Guam and discuss whether some new blunt talk from Defense Secretary James Mattis made the decision an easy one. David rejects the push by the left and some on the right to move or remove Confederate memorials and statues and instead proposes more memorials to honor Union, slave, and free black figures from the war to provide more context. And they roll their eyes as an ESPN commentator says he hopes a positive outcome from Charlottesville will be Colin Kaepernick getting a job in the NFL again.

Hosted by Greg Corombos, with guest David French

    Yesterday, I was hard on y'all (and it was well-deserved). Today, David, your suggestions on the statues are great. "More history, not less!" should be our battle cry. Actually, the whole thing today was great. Thanks, gentlemen.

    A bit of Devil's Advocacy on David's point that mobs shouldn't decide which statues come down (I generally agree). But you could say it was a mob that tore down Saddam's statue in Iraq, and I was okay with that.

    You are testing my computer skills, Arahant, which are not always that great! I have a Dell Laptop, and what I am using to get to the Internet is usually Google Chrome. I also have Microsoft Explorer, but I usually use the Chrome.
