Jason Riley, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss Riley's new book, The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don't Need Racial Preferences to Succeed.

This week, we present a special recording of a recent PRI webinar with Jason Riley, Manhattan Institute fellow and longtime Wall Street Journal columnist.  Lance Izumi, senior director of PRI's Center for Education, interviews Jason about his new book, The Affirmative Action Myth (Basic Books).

This is the entire Jason Riley interview

Not everyone will like this argument. Jason Riley, the Wall Street Journal columnist and author of The Affirmative Action Myth, argues that affirmative action policies have been counterproductive for Black Americans. He contends that Black Americans were making faster economic and educational progress before affirmative action policies began in the late 1960s. Riley claims these policies primarily benefit upper-class Blacks while setting up many poorer students for failure by placing them in institutions where they struggle academically. He advocates for colorblind policies rather than racial preferences, arguing that historically Black colleges continue to effectively educate Black professionals, and that integration should not take precedence over educational outcomes. Five key takeaways* Riley argues that Black Americans were making faster economic and educational progress before affirmative action policies were implemented in the late 1960s, with gaps narrowing between Black and white Americans.* He claims affirmative action primarily benefits upper-class Black Americans rather than addressing poverty, with the wealthiest 20% seeing gains while the poorest 20% fell behind.* Riley contends that racial preferences in college admissions set up many Black students for failure by placing them in institutions where they're academically mismatched, leading to higher dropout rates.* He emphasizes that historically Black colleges continue to produce disproportionate numbers of Black professionals, suggesting racial integration of classrooms shouldn't take precedence over educational outcomes.* Riley advocates for colorblind policies rather than racial preferences, arguing that such an approach would better promote Black upward mobility and reduce racial divisiveness.Jason Riley is an opinion columnist at The Wall Street Journal, where his column, Upward Mobility, has run since 2016.

Republicans in Congress say they are now working to pass President Trump's ‘big beautiful bill' by the Fourth of July. The President's request that Congress slash 20% from the 2026 budget has proved to be a challenge, yet House Speaker Mike Johnson says they are still on track to pass this reconciliation bill out of the House by Memorial Day. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joins the Rundown to discuss the spending bill deadline, GOP plans for a federal budget that meaningfully reduces the national debt, and how eliminating the penny could save taxpayers millions. During his first week back in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order no longer requiring federal contractors to uphold affirmative action programs. The decision came less than two years after the Supreme Court ruled that using race in the college admissions process was unconstitutional. Critics say the president's actions are moving the country backward. However, FOX News Contributor and author of the new book The Affirmative Action Myth, Jason Riley, joins to discuss why racial favoritism has done more harm than good.

While Laken Riley's mom and stepfather cozied up to Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a somber biological father - Jason Riley - emerged via an interview with NBC News that show us a heartbroken man disgusted that his daughter's murder has been politicized. Meanwhile, the local newspaper sought feedback from Georgia sheriffs and they're not thrilled with the predicament state GOP lawmakers are putting them in with ill-conceived immigration laws they say overburden already stretched-thin jail & law enforcement agencies. Their responses also show, quite glaringly, how I.C.E. needing better funding to better do its job at the federal level is pretty clear to see. If only there were bipartisan support for legislation that would address that, right? As promised yesterday, I reconnected with my former radio co-host (and current realtor) Mackenzie Crabtree to catch up & react to the N.A.R. settlement and poor media coverage of it, and guess as to what's next for residential real estate in the U.S.

How to Become a Member of the Two Comma Club, Ep #56This episode focuses on the behaviors needed to become a member of the two-comma club. What exactly is the two-comma club? Well, it's just a different way of saying how to become a millionaire, since one million dollars is represented by 7 numbers, the number 1 followed by 6 zeros, consequently there are two commas required to break those numbers up.In this episode...Who Wants to be a Millionaire [01:26]USA has a lot of millionaires [03:23]The Abundance Mentality [05:49]Prerequisites to becoming a Millionaire: The Success Sequence [07:28]What you should do [09:20]What happens to those that didn't model the behaviors [14:13]Years ago there was a hugely popular game show entitled Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. It captivated the American public. The television network ABC first launched the American version of the game show in 1999 and it became the highest-rated television show later that year, and has since had 21 seasons with several different celebrities serving as the game show host.In 2023 here in the US of A, we have never had more millionaires than we do right now. Based on the latest estimates from the Federal Reserve there are around 16 million American households with a net worth of $1 million or more. That's up from fewer than 10 million millionaire families in 2019.While saving and investing are important behaviors to cultivate on the path to becoming financially independent (or a millionaire) there are prerequisites behaviors that must be mentioned. In an opinion piece in the WSJ by the wonderful Jason Riley, he emphasized the success sequence. That sequence is often credited to research done by Brookings Institution scholars Isabel Sawhill and Ron Haskins, though others have made similar observations. The success sequence is simply this:If you finish high school, get a job, and get married before having children, you have a 98% chance of not being in poverty.Recently Dr. Melissa Kearny, MIT-trained economist wrote a book entitled The Two-Parent Privilege. In it she shared the story of how declining marriage rates are driving many of the country's biggest economic problems and how the greatest impacts of marriage are, in fact, economic: when two adults marry, their economic and household lives improve, offering a host of benefits not only for the married adults but for their children. A summary of the book notes that For many, the two-parent home may be an old-fashioned symbol of the idyllic American dream. But The Two-Parent Privilege makes it clear that marriage, for all its challenges and faults, maybe our best path to a more equitable future.Here are a few additional behaviors I would add:Not borrowing money when you don't have to. Just because you are approved for a loan doesn't mean you can afford the thing you are trying to purchase. Don't confuse approval with proof that you can afford the car or whatever it is you are trying to buy with borrowed money. If a person has a new luxury car they are wasting money and most who have them don't have the money to waste. You should only borrow money to buy an house and pay for some college. And even with college there are many reasons not to borrow money to pay for college. See episodes 15 and 16 of this podcast for more information.Another thing to note, just because a person has a high FICO score it doesn't necessarily mean they have made smart money choices but simply the fact that they have shown the ability to borrow money and pay it back consistently. One's personally accrued net worth and the savings rate is a far better determiners of smart money choices.In the end, it all comes down to discipline. Everything changes...
