Real NBA Courage, Trump’s Letter, Beto Embraces Gun Confiscation

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

David French joins us for a drink today in place of Jim, who will be back on Friday. Today, David and Greg discuss the courage of Enes Kanter, a Turkish player for the Boston Celtics. In the wake of widespread NBA cowardice on China, Kanter continues to defy the repressive Turkish government even though it persecutes his family members and he faces threats against his life. They also wince at President Trump's Twitter-esque letter urging Turkish President Erdogan to seek a cease-fire with the Kurds and blast Trump for pulling back so suddenly in Syria that our own military is scrambling to get out of there. They work in a much-needed laugh as Beto O'Rourke now admits he would have law enforcement come and take away your AR-15 and any other weapons he would ban.

At the conclusion of today's episode, they pay tribute to the late Rep. Elijah Cummings and then remark on David's upcoming departure from National Review to join a new venture known as The Dispatch.
