Hello, everybody. This is Glenn Laurie, and you are listening to and or watching the Glenn Show.

I teach at Brown University, and I am with my conversation partner, John McWhorter, every other week here at the Glenn Show.

John's a Columbia University professor, and he writes for the New York Times.

Our guest this week is Jason Riley.

Hello, Jason.

How you doing, Glenn?

John.

Hey.

Doing well, doing well.

Jason's an old friend.

Jason is on the editorial board and writes editorials for the Wall Street Journal.

He's also senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

And happily, we're here to talk about Jason's new book,

The Affirmative Action Myth.

Jason's a prolific author.

He's written books like False Black Power.

Please stop helping us. He's written a biography of

Thomas Soul called Maverick, Thomas Sol, the African American conservative economists of great

distinction. And other interventions Jason has made in the public discussion about policy issues.

And the book at hand for today is the affirmative action myth.
