Thomas Sowell with Joe Biden

- During Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court under Reagan.
" In the course of any given year, Congress votes on taxes, medical care, military spending, foreign aid, agriculture, labor, international trade, airlines, housing, insurance, courts, natural resources, and much more. There are professionals who have spent their entire adult lives specializing in just one of these fields. They idea that Congress [or the American voter] can be competent in all these areas simultaneously is staggering." - Sowell
"Compared to what? At what cost? What hard evidence do you have?" -Thomas Sowell
Damn. If only this man became the first black President.
Better yet a supreme Court Justice. They have more power inside the country than the president because of life terms and laws. President is more important when considering outside the country like dealing with our enemies and allies. The congress is the only power that can do both but they seem to always be on vacation until election comes around again.
We would surely be in a better place if Mr Sowell was President instead of B. Obama
He’s a scholar - so Presidency isn’t where he’s at - but he’s a Rock in terms of his example to all of us - we love him dearly. Trump 2020
He's now 90 and still sharper minded than most. A true treasure indeed.
Or just any role in government would be great. At the end of the day, he's to smart for it and he's a good person at his core so governing is basically out of the question.
Dr. Sowell should be honored and recognized by President Trump. He's a national treasure.
Yes
Dr. Claud Anderson should be
@Slappy 813 He's the worst racist I've ever seen.
@Slappy 813 How is he racist?
He would destroy him too. Both of these two parties are two sides of the same coin, corporate fascism.
Sowell is older than Biden, yet (then and now) he looks younger and is smarter than Biden could ever dream to be.
Biden is an idiot
In the Bible it says that when God wants to punish a man, he takes away his mind. God has punished Sleepy Joe long ago.
I want Mr. Sowell to take his mind intact to heavens above, that man will be imperative to existence even after this life.
Joe is over there rubbing Zelensky's back, not very..."presidently" lol, unless we are talking about Bill Clinton, then he is holding that standard.
GnomeOfArgentina I think it's a lite obvious that if Sowell was older than Biden then, he is older than him now as well. 😂😂
Black dont crack
@@sidhu139he meant that he looks younger now and then, not that he's older now and then.
Thomas Sowell is 90 years old, and still as sharp if not sharper than he was back then. He is a gift to this world, i hope we can appreciate him while he is alive, and not posthumously.
While his speech has slowed a bit, it is still incredible to see how sharp his mind is at his age, truly an amazing man.
Biden on the other hand..
I would vote for THOMAS SOWELL in a heart beat . . .
Sowell would, as at 25/09/20, put Biden to the sword in any debate
They're going to miss him
Thomas Sowell should be required reading for high school and college kids.
His current thought process was not like his beginning which leaned towards socialist and or Marxist. But what is refreshing is that like Dr Chalmers Johnson he changed his mindset when new information became available and that is a sensible thing to do as a thinking person.
True. But the PARENTS must be ahead of the education system
Gotta reach the parents first.
Agreed!!!
...and congress.
If you haven’t read his books, then you are missing out. Thomas Sowell is one of the most brilliant men this country has ever produced.
this is so ture
And ignored in favour of woke "intellectuals"
Thomas Sowell vs. Joe Biden. Was there ever a better example of someone having a battle of wits with an unarmed man?
My thoughts as well!
@Ru22eLL Joe's got the shotgun! Unfortunately his opponent had an A-10. BBbbbrrrriiiip!!!
The upcoming 2020 Presidential debates will be a better example. Not because he's against a better person, but because Biden's lost any touch with reality.
freakin briiiiiiiiiillllllllllliant comment
I can't wait for the Civil War the Left is calling for! Talk about unarmed! They'll be bringing signs, slogans, nasty words, and name-calling --- to a gunfight --- they insist on having!
Ted Kennedy yawns as one of the greatest minds of our time gives testimony.
and he was!
already counting the # of drinks....
I got money his ass ain't yawing now.
@ there's a special cocktail that's been around since the 60s called. "the Chappaquiddick", scotch and murky water!
I saw that too. What a pompous buffoon.
Biden: "I was the top black student at Harvard and MIT."
"I scored four touchdowns in one game back at Polk High too"
@@GHC3 Biden Bundy! LOL
Sounds like Biden!!!!!
That wasnt his point , but congrats
Personally harvard doesnt impress me , no offense
Biden was a racist back then and he still is , hopefully people see this now, and whoever playing him w the mask cause the real fjb is dead
While he was delivering papers in Scranton.... No Joke!
Thomas Sowell said on NPR some 30+ years ago "the increasing number of lawyers who occupy federal positions, especially in Congress, and more specifically - in the Democrat Party - is a serious concern - -or it should be -- to the American people about the future of a self-governing Nation." He went on to say "I can envision a scenario where lawyers, posed as politicians, can - one day - tell American voters that their votes were not proper or legal, and telling them, instead, how their votes SHOULD have been counted, based on outcome expectations."
This is EXACTLY where we are today, in America!
The Left wants to eliminate the Electoral College.
@Thomas Jefferson Not possible. Some permeation of a Leftist will always be in existence. The Left however wants the elimination of anything right of them.
@Thomas Jefferson Sure. I bet in 25 years from now, a generation, The Left will still exist. Academia. Entertainment. Publishing. Federal government.
Nostrathomas
@Thomas Jefferson ~~ We havent exterminated much of anything in several thousand years; this aint nothin new -- why George Santayana said:
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
History, Bible, Personal Experience, and Common Sense serve to reveal the truth behind Pogo's statement:
"We have met the enemy, and he is us."
(based on
the message from Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry to Major General William Henry Harrison,
10 September 1813:
"We have met the enemy and they are ours."
--
during the struggle to control Lake Erie and the Detroit River ....
--
So it's not old age and senility, Biden's always been clueless.
And a liar... the media won’t dwell on that either
Yes...Biden has been clueless his whole life. That's why he lasted so long in the swamp.
Bare in mind, Thomas is more than decade older than Biden but still substantially more cognitively able...
@@katieandkevinsears7724 Yes, a mere useful idiot.
@@JoeyP322 Just like Trump, then. LMAO
I'm French and Sowell is not known in France. but I discovered him a few years ago and have read all his books since. He is a fantastic mind and so great to listen to.
He should be as well known as Noam Chomsky. Much more actually
true! glad you discovered him!
He is not known among blacks and liberals in America.
Have you really read all his books in just a few years? If so that’s insanely impressive; he has like 40+ books I think.
@@therainman7777 ok, a dozen of them or so
Biden then: “I’m just trying to figure out what you’re saying.”
Us now: “I’m just trying to figure out what you’re saying.”
This is a very serious video, but I still laughed when Biden said that.
Some people never change.
For two very different reasons.
the DEMOCRAT PARTY , the party of the KU KLUX KLAN , continued to support TED KENNEDY after CHAPPAQUIDDICK - note how Kennedy interrupts Sowell
@@philsalera5322 AMEN !
"It's not about what I think. It's about what the figures say"... That statement alone captured the difference between these two men.
Shah-Allah Shabazz, he's said that in other debates. It needs to become a household saying.
tobo86 It's gospel
Thing is, figures often do NOT say what he says they do. He's certainly right sometimes. But Sowell is wrong a hell of a lot of times, too.
The difference here is that one is asking questions for clarity, and the other is providing answers for clarity. I think we say this is a good faith effort on both of their parts.
That this feels like a "difference" in objectivity...please. Sowell is NOT an objective participant in political issues. His professional work is chock full of speculative positions that are highly partisan not because of "figures" and objectivity, but because he espouses conservative values, and tries to translate conservative values into pragmatic, statistical analysis. There's nothing wrong with this, but let's not mistake it for objectivity. He's a showman just like Chomsky and other hyper political intellectuals.
@Mateo Montoya Sounds about right. Objectivity takes effort. Politics disguised as objectivity is often just another political game. You got the right idea now lets just be honest about it.
🙌
Unbelievable! A time when senators didn't get thanked for asking a question, and the guest actually answered the question directly.
Great American, Thomas Sowell.
Dr. Thomas Sowell is a gift to humanity.
It's a shame people won't listen to him .
But they do. Millions of hits and books sold. Contraire mon ami.
It is sad that most people do not recognize that Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and voice of wisdom in an increasingly dumbed down world.
Mr. Sowell was too smart for these people. Ahead of his time.
He’s too smart for the people in the same positions today. 😂😂 This man is light years ahead of the rest.
@@JamezGrimm And the Dems had nothing good to say about his passing except "covid".
Such lame, ignorant asses.
Larry Elder had a fantastic program about his life. All is not lost.
@@stuffthings1417 Sowell is still alive.
As we all are - way smarter than these awful Dems
They wanted him to summarize it. Told them he had another minute. He used all his time.
Looks like Thomas Sewell is speaking to a panel of Democrats. Yawning, reading, not paying attention to Thomas. Nothing changes with Democrats.
Sally your comment is so unfair. You claim that the Democrats were reading...as if they were skilled enough
@@michawill6599 True.
Micha Will I could tell by their body language that they were uncomfortable with what he was saying because they didn’t understand
Disrespectful because they were in over their heads
They even tried to cut him off half way... Disgusting
I read most of Thomas Sowells books. He helped changed my way or looking at the world/politics. He made such a huge impact on my life. Helped me think critically.
The divide between politicians and scholars has never been clearer.
@ducktravisty louisiana yeah, there is no difference between a politician and a gender studies scholar. They both perfectioned a way to bs their path through public sector positions and to leech off tax money while convincing their followers they are doing something important. They are exactly the same.
Joe Biden's famous line: "I'm just trying to figure out what you're saying". Keep tryin' Joe.
C’mon man
Maybe his dementia was beginning then. If you don't understand what Mr. Sowell is saying you're not paying attention. If I understand what is being said anyone can.
Condescending son of a bitch
Sowell is a intellectual giant.
We are grateful our country produced Thomas Sowell.
Fu2k boomers you sold our damn nation to joues! For what? Some damn charity cases?
AGREE 100%
BIDEN DID THE SAME AGGRESSIVE HARASSMENT TO ANOTHER INTELLIGENT BLACK MAN, SUPREME COURT JUDGE CLARENCE THOMAS BACK IN THE 90's. BIDEN LOOKS LIKE A SOMEONE YOU CANNOT TRUST, JUST LOOK AT HIS EYES....
"I wanna hear from you, I wanna know what you think."
Literally said after 9 minutes of Thomas Sowell's thinking said out loud. 😂😂😂
@Baby Yoda Up In This Mofo Well that's what Uncle Joe said, poor kids are as smart as white kids
C'mon man!
I always admired Thomas Sowell. His ability to logically reason is rare.
Ted Kennedy was so rude! Yawning so openly. What a joke the Democrats then and now. Thomas Sowell is a genius.
Well what do you expect from democRats ? Look at NastyNancy Pelosi. She tore up the document after the president spoke as if that was going to make Trump go away? They haven’t learned yet that the more u push against Trump the better at out beating you he gets.
Tim Neal I came here to say this lol
Ole Ted and Biden were a perfect match. Perverts that were intellectual light weights and power hungry above all decency.
Nah... just tired from a late night swim..
@@chuckleberryfinn1992 haha, I got that one👍
I remember this hearing. I can recall many times when members of the committee asked questions (written by staff) that they didn't understand and then received answers that they clearly didn't understand. Kennedy and Biden were the worst at that.
And Howell Heflin too!! What an embarrassment!
How long was Mary Jo Kopechne alive after the car flipped?
Kopechne likely did not die instantaneously, but her final moments remain a mystery. When John Farrar, a diver for the local fire department, found Kopechne’s body the morning after the crash, its positioning suggested she had remained alive for an unknown period of time after the car went underwater. Her face was pressed into the footwell, and her hands gripped the back of the front seat, as if she had been trying to push her head into a pocket of air.
He's still this same intelligent, logical, rational man, even in his old age. I wish we had more leaders like Sowell, if we did we'd have some shade of utopia by now.
The libtards would find a way to discredit a great mind like Thomas Sowell
Ted Kennedy yawning while Thomas Sowell testifies is as telling a picture of liberal-statist contempt for conservative advocates of personal responsibility and the rule of law as anyone could possibly ask for.
Joe Dady Yeah. You get it.
Reminds me recently of Rep. Nadler shrugging after Candace Owens remarked that he didn't listen to what she said and mischaracterized her words as disrespectful.
It's a perfect illustration of the fact that the Democrat party exists solely for the acquisition and exercise of raw, naked political power, and nothing more. It serves to empower its members, crush its opposition, and provides no benefit to anyone else.
he was either hungover or still drunk from the previous night. raging alcoholic.
Democrats are the epitome of racism in this country. Always have been. Always will be.
Sowell is the GOAT. From his memoir A Personal Odyssey (2001):
Before beginning, I asked Senator Kennedy if I had ten minutes for an opening statement, and he said 'yes'. But eight minutes into my statement he asked impatiently:
'Can you bring that to a close?'
'I thought I had ten minutes.'
' How much more time do you need?'
'Two more minutes.'
I guess Kennedy would not be able to handle MIT math either.
This man makes too much sense, grateful for him in our country
What a clueless man. I wish Thomas Sowell could have been President.
He was the black president america needed, not the one we got.
Nick Fury yes! I’m so shocked to just discover him this year! His writings should be required in schools.
@@heidicook2739 same!
Paul Bolger I don’t blame him one bit :). But he would have been amazing, I think.
Today we remember him as a hero, a man of great intelligence and virtue. Had he gone into politics I have no doubt it would have corrupted him and soured his legacy
I love Sowell. A humble, reasonable, wise, articulate man that we need to listen to.
Thomas Sowell is a gem - we send him our appreciation & love in 2020
Just shows politics will never change...no politician will take Sowell's,or others like him, advice on fixing anything.
Because that would mean losing their large paychecks they make using tax payers money. They would also lose power. Mr. Sowell is always spot on.
One speaking elegantly with facts and passion and the other trying to play gotchya soundbite game.
Dr. Sowell is an American treasure & patriot!
P.S. China Joe Biden has always been a simpleton!
Mr. Sowell much respect and thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.
Back when old Joe almost openly hated black people
Still does openly hate them, just more suttle about it
@@phillippapirio551 he tries to pander and say stuff like poor kids are just as bright as white kids😂
@Mateo Montoya naaah cmon man he isnt anymore didnt u hear him say poor kids are just as bright as whitekids recently?
Now it just drips out in his ignorant comments!
Especially free minded blacks
Mr. Sowell speaks the truth in any time, and in our current time is considered dangerous for the truth he speaks. Incredible to hear statistics supported by facts. Its rare these days... but not surprising coming from Mr. Sowell. He's so consistently educational with his presentation. An international treasure for certain!
Thomas Sowell - AN AMERICAN TREASURE!!!
Biden trying to get Sowell to say something self-incriminating at the end there. Sorry Joseph he didn't bite.
One of my favorite & most important books of Mr. Sowell’s is “Inside American Education”. A must read written in the mid 1980’s very relevant today.
Ted Kennedy yawns at one of the most intelligent men of our time.
One of the most intelligent and intellectually honest!
Yeah I saw that too, perfect example of how dems actually think about black people

Tried to cut him off
Tomas Sowell is a boss, I wish I was aware of him when I was growing up. At least I still have the opportunity to appreciate his Intellect while he still lives. 👏🙂
Dr. Sowell's many books (He recently published one at age 90) will live on...long after Dr. Sowell is gone..
UA-cam recommended this 10 years later.
Perfect timing.
This is one of the most intelligent man who’s ever lived
Baby Yoda Up In This Mofo Hopefully my grammatical “mistakes” reinforce the message
Fact's 💯 🔥 proves that Negroe's are more advanced and more intelligent and intelligent.Every modern day invention that we benefit from well came from God's chosen Peeps.The black race is more loving and kind to anyone than other people.I am so proud of my black blood and thank the Almighty that I'm biracial but I appreciate that my pops blessed me with my Negroe blood and now my kids appreciate the heritage.
PSA: Turn down your headphones volume after listening.
Lord, how I wish he was as active and brilliant now when we need him. As the song goes "They would not listen then, they won't listen now."
Biden’s title to this video would be “Guy who ain’t black testifies before Congress.”
Oobie Doob Skoobie Doobie Benoobie I guess people of his state in Delaware wanted to be notice by voting the young buck in office. What a farce.
This is one of the most racist comments on this video, no matter what explanation you give for this despicable comment. It implies you're calling Sowell "not black" because he's a smart thinker as though smartness is an exclusive preserve of non-black ethnicities. I'm offended by your comment and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
This comment relates to an interview where Biden said “you ain’t black” if you have to choose between voting for him or President Trump. The only thing racist and despicable here is Biden’s comment, implying that any black American who would vote Republican somehow loses their racial identity. According to Biden (not myself, and I’m amazed that you could input this opinion on me from the comment) is that Sowell isn’t truly black people he is a free thinker who doesn’t adhere to the lies continually being perpetuated to keep black Americans in poverty and in reliance of the government.
@@danvillalba2497 You're full of bullshit. Sowell's speech was completely unrelated to voting Trump or Biden. You're a race-baiting bigot and deep down you have no true sense of moral decorum. You're again using racist innuendos to denigrate people of color. As if your insinuation wasn't terrible enough you have just again insulted people of color by stating that only conservative blacks are free thinkers and those with a left leaning liberal political ideology are like sheep. And that is simply because you're conservative and therefore must exhibit all your biases by publicly denigrating a whole ethnic group. Can't you see how insulting that is? My comment was never in defense of Joe Biden, I'm staunchly conservative, prolly even more than you, but your comments and thinking is utterly despicable. The fundamental reason blacks are the underdogs in American society is because they're the minority here with a protracted history of exclusion. Other reasons abound as well, but they're more or less symptoms of the disease.
@@danvillalba2497 What are those lies that are being perpetuated? Let's discuss those lies with FACTS
Sowell vs. Biden. Talk about an unfair fight.
He is less afraid of uncomfortable truths than that entire room put together. Why do more people not know about him?
Mr Sowell's level of intellect so far surpasses Joe's -- how is it that he would be at the big table making a decision like this while Mr Sowell argues for the nominee with facts and figures. Joe looked so confused,.....and still does. This statement really struck me "Legal principals are not just abstract intellectual matters. They are often far more important to far more people than the specific issues that provoke single issue organizations to venom and propaganda."
Thomas Sowell just published a book on the effects of charter schools on the education of inner city children. Improving education outcomes for poor or disadvantaged children is a passion for him.
What a fantastic and erudite person. God bless you Mr Sowell.
“The principles take on a life of their own”.
This. This right here is EXACTLY THE REASON why Us Canadians are where we are and you Americans are going.
This man needs to be everywhere and anywhere.
6:42 Wow!! Thomas Sowell was talking about affirmative action and race counting during the Reagan Era. It’s amazing how much insight this man has and we see the negative effects of these programs as Harvard is DELIBERATELY discriminating against Asians and requiring a lower GPA and SAT for black students which detrimentally affects the black community as he alluded to where Blacks were at the bottom 10% at these schools. What a genius man, LISTEN TO HIM AND APPRECIATE HIM NOW, don’t send an empty tweet when he’s gone.
This is one of our brilliant minds of our time an they don't listen to him shame .
"Meh... I'm just trying to figure out what you're saying."
And he's still trying
Thomas Sowell is a legend. We need more of his kind.
Biden was inept then. Imagine him now. [the future is dark with Biden in charge].
The dark future has a name: "Let's go Brandon."😏👌
You were right! 1y later and things are much worse!
And it’s no better now!
Thank you for this video. What a great mind Mr Sowell is.... I didn’t know about him until Candace Owens Farmer said she had read his books
Biden was fighting an intellectual heavyweight.
Honestly this man deserves the Nobel prize
Thomas Sowell is an intellectual and constitutional giant! His acumen at 90 is far superior to those decades his junior! He’s a treasure.
RE"The renunciation of power is the morality of the jurist not the assumption of power in the name morality " EXACTLY!! This is what social justice stands on assuming power in the name of THEIR morality
I would dare say Thomas Sowell is a modern day Booker T. Washington in intellect and character.
Thomas Sowell is one of the most brilliant minds in the last 100 years.
His ability to plainly and effectively make his point is amazing.
The exchange between Biden and Sowell at the end really highlights the fundamental difference between a politician, on the one hand and a true thinker on the other. It's really quite dramatic.
Thomas Sowell should be requiered reading in ANY country. Great post, colombian, watching in colombia.
Thank you for publishing this - it’s amazing how relevant this is for today’s world as well. Such wise words from Thomas Sowell.
When the top of the class is speaking to the bottom of the class.
People need to hear this now in 2020! He, Thomas sowell, is a man ahead of his time!
Every century we have a few individuals who stand on the shoulders of humanity as moral compasses with intelligence, morality, strength, humility and the willingness to fight for all. Walter Williams is one and I’m honored that I had the opportunity to hear him speak and read his work. Thank you Mr. Williams.... you are a blessing to the world.
Thomas Sowell is an American legend
Thomas Sowell trying to explain anything to Joe Biden in his prime would be the equivalent of Thomas Sowell trying to explain economics to a brick. And this was Biden in his prime. 🤦
Thank You!!!!!
Thanks poster. This is the first time I have watched Sowell perform his beautiful intellect on Supreme Court considerations ❤️🇨🇦
I wish i could be as articulate as Thomas Sowell
Thomas should be an Honorary Canadian. He has my vote. Love from Canada
I love how Sowell has picked a style of glasses and basically stuck with it for like 40years...oh also what he said
If it ain't broke don't fix it -probably some Austrian economist.
Thomas sowell remains my intellectual hero alongside Peterson.
Jesse Lee Peterson is Amazun !
America needs More people as intelligent & articulate as Thomas Sowell. Thank God Candace Owens is filling his shoes.
Mr Sowell is 90 yrs old so based on statistics he will not be with us for a great deal longer and the thought of his voice and insight being absent from the future zeitgeist is frightening. I have so much respect for this man and his desire to impart the truth to all of us that I cannot even find the adjective to adequately describe it.
The man is a national treasure.
When I think of his passing, tears come to my eyes... I wish he would be recognized and his amazing writings known by everyone before his leaving this earth. :(
@@AN-jw2oe I know right? Seldom have I found myself drawn to the insights of anyone online or otherwise available to be heard through media but this man needs far more recognition for his enlightenment.
The difference between how Sowel is now and how Biden is now compared to how they were back then is astounding.
All of his lectures, teachings and 📚's should be a part of the required curriculum.
I totally agree.
No single man outside of my grandfather and father has had a greater influence on my way of thinking and approach to opinion than the great Thomas Sowell
Mr. Sowell was smart enough to see that Biden was trying to get him to say something that would look bad taken out of context
His writing style is wonderful. Every word matters. No extra words. Everything stated plainly. And true!
CLEAR LOGICAL EXPLANATION by Thomas and Biden's question displayed his inability to understand what Thomas was saying. Its like they were not even paying attention to the man
We should be reading textbooks by this man Sowell is so good
Wow, I know I saw clips years ago but nothing like this. Amazing.
Bob X here said Thomas Sowell should be required reading for high school and college kids. Let me tell you: I'm an economics professor and I had never heard of Thomas Sowell before I started taking freedom seriously as a concept in April of 2020
That is a crying shame. Sowell is a generational genius that will change the way you see the world.
In an interview, Sowell was asked what made him shift from Marxist to Conservative. His one word response: "Facts."
What a legend. A national treasure
I think it’s telling that Strom Thurmond, from South Carolina, was a whole lot more interested in what Mr. Sowell had to say than the very rude Kennedy was.
This man could have been speaking before Congress today in 2020 and his same argument would be valid.
An absolutely stunning testimony by Dr. Sowell.
Dr. Sowell is a US treasure. Blessings 💐
Dr Sowell is a national treasure.
