Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."

First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.

Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.

Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?

0:31.5	but it was prominently displayed at the DNC National meeting this week in Minneapolis.
0:36.3	Land acknowledgments. Why do they do this?
0:38.8	What does it mean? Especially if crazy people get power. So anyway, let's dive right in.
0:43.9	And of course, the left and the media are basically now siding with criminals because President
0:49.1	Trump wants to crack down on crime. And it seems to be working in the nation's capital.
0:53.7	And it also seems to be a
0:55.2	major concern for the American people. A new poll from the AP and NORC released Wednesday shows
1:01.4	that the vast majority of Americans see crime as a huge issue in the United States and approve of
1:06.2	the president's handling of it. This is the Fox News story. The polls show that 81% of Americans agree that crime

1:30.9	27% of black Americans approved.
1:34.8	So for the most part, the Democrats are trying to get everybody to believe that this is completely unnecessary and doesn't need to be addressed.
