Summary

I had planned to release the first Glenn and John episode of 2024 on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, life had other plans, and John and I could not record as scheduled. So instead, my staff put together this collection of some of our favorite clips from 2023. John and I covered a lot of ground last year. Here you’ll see us addressing African American performance on standardized tests, the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision, the riots of 2020, the Gaza War, and other big topics on the show.

0:00 A New Year's message from Glenn

2:36 How do we know that African Americans are just as smart as everyone else?

11:15 Glenn goes in on the 2020 riots

16:34 John: I love linguistics, but linguistics no longer loves me

25:37 Glenn: How can anyone argue that race-based affirmative action doesn’t violate the 14th Amendment?

34:58 When the smoke clears in Gaza

45:34 John: “We’ve been lied to” about George Floyd’s death

54:32 Glenn and John revisit their first conversation
