Yesterday, Mona and I recorded a Need to Know. To start out with, Mona talked with Stuart Taylor, the brilliant lawyer and journalist who is the co-author of Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won’t Admit It. This subject has never seemed more timely.

Then Mona and I talk about a number of issues, including the presidential race, the Jihad, and Venezuela. Needless to say, the name “Trump” comes up. I mention that a Saudi royal knocked him. Which his enough to make Mona and me defensive of Donald.

Hanukkah was celebrated at the White House and also in Paris — in markedly different ways. We talk about that. And do you remember Mona’s post from over the weekend about how Microsoft had scrubbed God from “Let There Be Peace on Earth”? We talk about that, and go out with the song — unscrubbed, and sung by the Harlem Boys Choir.

Again, the ’cast is here.
