The women in your thumbnail is from the Australian political party called the greens. We call them watermelons because their green on the outside but red on the inside. That's socialist or communist red. Her name is Sarah Hanson-Young. She's equivalent to your AOC. Nutty as a fruit cake. At least Australia has some things in common with the U.S. But thankfully more good than the toxicity of the far left. Great video as per usual.
...yep, we've got a bunch of them over here in NZ too.
We've got more than our share in Canada, too. Weeds spread far and wide, and they have a predilection for snaking their shallow roots through the foundations of academia, where a now predominantly female faculty practice a confused and contradictory kind of logic best described as, "It's real if you feel."
It saddens me, as a woman, to note that women have overwhelmingly infiltrated the highest echelons of academia - not bc I think women incapable of holding higher positions, but bc women are the more emotional of the species. As such, they're better-suited to many things in society - one of which would not be making pronouncements on what's "true" or "real" based on little more than "a feeling."
In a world where Gender Studies should have remained an elective course, it's become its own full-fledged department. Remember, we're the country whose best example of higher learning produced - and then ousted - Jordan Peterson - dismissing him as little more than a moderately intelligent homophobic example of the white patriarchy, with nothing of real value to share. I suppose every nation has its embarrassments!
I clicked on this to see what that dimwit was on the thumbnail hahaha
There's not a single woman in the West that has not been subjected to femimarxist indoctrination from they were toddlers.
That is how you create leftist extremists like Sarah Hanson-Young, and the millions upon millions of likeminded like her.
In politics, they may run for the conservative side of the political spectrum, but they will always be femimarxists first, because they have been led to believe they're fighting for women's issues. Which essentially plays into women's solipsism and narcissism, because it by definition is motivated by a selfserving mindset.
That is how Marxism succesfully managed to destroy Westworld in less than a century, while the rest of the population were sitting on their hands, because *their* Achilles' heel is their own gynocentrism, something the Left have always been very well aware of.

"I'm not tough. Life is tough." Brilliant, simple, true statement.
That has to be coupled with "...I'm merely trying to acquaint you with those facts".
@@vmorr1 I had to pause the video in order to mentally stabilise myself when I heard that. It's so obvious, yet, so glossed over.
Looking back at it, 40 years later, I believe that's what my parents taught me.

Life isn’t tough for some people. And some people are tough when they don’t need to be. So really this is just an inaccurate sound bite.

_Second,_ yeah the bits about crimestop frequently apply to conservative positions (and some liberal ones too), _"The mind should develop a blind spot whenever a dangerous thought presented itself. The process should be automatic, instinctive. Crimestop, they called it in Newspeak. ... He set to work to exercise himself in crimestop. He presented himself with propositions-'the Party says the Earth is flat', 'the Party says that ice is heavier than water'-and trained himself in not seeing or not understanding the arguments that contradicted them."_

@@pantarkan7 you ok with speech that threatens or incites violence
Mr. Sowell is a national treasure. It's a disgrace that not more knows about him.
I wish people would come up with something original to say. Someone says he's a national treasure in every single video comment section.
He should be required study in school. Beginning in kindergarten.
My kids know about him. That’s what matters to me.
He is a national treasure. He will be remembered as a quiet hero for the country, and freedom. These types seldom ever get the recognition they deserve in their lifetime.

Yes. The best of America. Amen.🙏
When truth is spoken the light continues to shine, no matter how many lies are thrown on it. Thomas Sowell is that truth, that light.
I have to disagree, he is definitely a part of it though.
You people are worshipping this man like he’s Jesus. Stop it. He’s not a deity, he is just a man. He is NOT the light or the truth. He is just a man.
Thomas Sowell speaks truth, but he is NOT truth itself or “light”. Major distinction. The latter means you are elevating him to the level of deity. He isn’t Jesus, he is Tom Sowell, public intellectual extraordinaire.

We do. We used to call them statesmen. They just don't get the publicity from the media the politicians get.
Refreshing !!!
If they had common sense they wouldn't be politicians lol.
You SERIOUSLY have to question someone's agenda if they strive to be a politician & ask yourself why they really want to go play ball with the greediest, shadiest, most evil psychopathic pedophiles in the world because that's a game I'd like to stay as far away from as possible.
@@jaysmith792 Thomas Sowell is a liar. He's claiming that less than 3 percent of people make less than 50k a year! The fact is that 28 percent of HOUSEHOLDS make less than 25k a year, and 23 percent of households make between 25k and 50k. That's 53 percent of HOUSEHOLDS making less than 50k per year.

"The people who supposedly sold out, typically have less money than the ones who's making the accusations"
Interesting.
The sold out are the people we elected to the law makers and legislators and most are Republicans.
Yes, that line is reverberating in my mind. Perfectly stated. It sums up the democratic party so fittingly. I'll never forget the face of the pawn guarding the Constitution when in DC and I erroneously thought it was lowered into a concrete vault as depicted in a movie of which I can't remember the name. But when asking about it, the look of rage in her stupid eyes made me realize how vulnerable and indoctrinated we are. Her eyes looked like she was saying, "this piece of shit should burn and I would light it and use my body to stoke it, but the money and benefits are the only thing keeping my thumb off that lighter and my gun which you shouldn't be able to own." How could anyone be so angry in the presence of the greatest document ever created in the spirit of freedom and democracy possibly since the Bible that will likely ever exist? Mind boggles!
@@moerush04 I've seen that movie a couple times too. 'National Treasure' with Nicholas Cage.
That guard you've decribed is the very definition of the liberal elites that makes up the Far Left.
They hate everything about this country, except for, as you mentioned, the benefits there is to gain.
Yep, I wish I made a fraction of the dough being swindled by the BLM-Antifa terrorists...directly funded by UN, USG, German gov, all major corporations, Hollywood etc etc etc
The people making the most accusations about the rich became multimillionaires as Senators and Congressmen through insider trading.
It blows my mind that these people can regulate the businesses they are betting on and against ..... and its all legal.
I'm almost embarrassed to say I've just heard of him in December 2021. I watched a short video of him on Marxism. That afternoon I watched 2 hours of him on UA-cam speaking on "Thomas Sowell on the Myths of Economic Inequality" and "Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World". I was hooked.
Sir, I'm not American. but from what I see from here (Israel) YOU NEED Dr. Sowell for a president. I really think its true.
What hooked me was listening to the audio book of "Black Rednecks and White Liberals". It blew my mind.
Basic Economics has truly changed my life. I understand the world much better now. I’ll eventually work my way through all of them.
Relax. Be joyful that you found him.😃
@@MrJohnnyDistortion I should too my brains ploded
Thomas Sowell is very wise. He does not get the honor that he deserves. If I could choose to have a 30 minute conversation with anyone alive today, Mr. Sowell would be in my top 3 choices.
And who might the other two be? 🙂

@@llkg9 hardly far right, more of a mainstream view. Far right is way right of center and common sense should be near the center.
@@KipdoesStuff It was sarcasm because some people on the far left consider intact families, strong work ethic, and other core values to now be indicative of "racism" and "white supremacy."
@@KipdoesStuff That, in fact, was the point of the scare quotes. More a statement about how hard leftism portrays itself as the mainstream.
@@llkg9 - And beaten to a pulp when they misbehave...
I wish that I had discovered Thomas Sowell so many years ago. He should have been the first black POTUS.
Obummer was great at deceiving an entire nation.
He promised us to be like trump - sovereign, indendant, for the people, bringing change - but he was a swamper in the end.
Blitz; Too true. Watch Dr. Sowell’s 1980’s era exchanges (utube) with then Senator Biden. Also watch Clarence thomas’s exchanges with B. While Biden’s speech was less slurred then his thinking was no clearer (“I don’t understand. It sounded OK in my head”). You can tell a career politician - you just can’t tell him much.
Sadly, I believe Mr. Sowell has too much common sense to ever run for political office.
Too logical.
The man is to intelligent & honest to lower himself to the level of a politician
Criticizing the Pres of Cornell while he was a temp professor on a 3 year contract there - "...who am I selling out to..."

Can't agree aw, nothing dreamy about Sowell. Even at 91 now, solid as a rock in his thinking and analysis.
Not perfect - no one is - but mostly very good, accurate in his perception of reality.
I love listening to this man - what a brilliant mind. What a President he would be.
Politics makes people dirty, I think the best people avoid it for a good reason.
i agree, i would like to recommend Jordan Peterson to people reading this comment.
I don't think he would take the job as he's not stupid 😊 as he's refused positions in office. ❤
I wonder how many liberals have even heard of Thomas Sowell. A great thinker.
When they hear him speak they hear nails on a chalkboard. The indoctrinated cannot process that anyone opposed to modern leftist ideals could be anything but evil. It seems that the only thing that can convince them is for them to be under the boot of their own kind.
They wouldn't be able to comprehend, so prob not many.
The ones who do have only heard what their echo chambers told them to think about him, and few have actually heard the man himself.
It's like asking how many dogs can do algebra.
They are actually incapable of understanding even the most basic points, let alone engaging in open discussion.
...Anyone can see this proven for themselves, thousands of times, on most campuses.
Leftists cannot handle fundamental facts or simple logic.
They actually seriously argue over whether 2+2 =4, or whether men are women. They are druggie schizophrenics and nothing more. Stop pretending they can be reasoned with.
I think a few of them have. (I myself was more liberal than I am today when I first heard of him.)
People like Thomas Sowell are quickly becoming extinct. Common Sense is becoming less common everyday. I like listening to intelligent people that why it is always refreshing to hear Sowell speak. It reassures me that maybe there is some hope for our country, but I won't be holding my breath.
There is nobody to replace or continue his effort.
All we have are a tiny number of people like Andy Ngo & Project Veritas, otherwise there's almost no support for basic truth and reason anymore. Insanity full speed ahead!
@@annaravenhand5536 I think the good thing about Sowell is that he came to prominence long before the social media age. I do appreciate some of the newer conversative voices, but I get turned off when the whole conversation turns into a shouting match between left and right, with both sides trying to score points. I much prefer Sowell's quieter manner and focus more on the fundamental principles, rather than point-scoring.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 Understandable, but his respectful, civil manner does us little good in the face of violent madness.
The shouting comes mostly from the left, although Fox can be pretty loud and condescending, it's not comparable to the deranged Dems.
Not everything he said still is true today, but most things.
And he would surely acknowledge the changes today brings with it.
I doubt he would play cognitive dissonance.
Hes full of wisdom because he is old. That's how it goes.
You're no sellout, Dr. Sowell. You are the man! God bless you.
He’s not a sellout true, but that doesn’t mean he is right all the time.

As if Sowell and anyone telling the truth aren't heavily censored & hidden in the most hypercontrolled economy (the net) the world has ever seen?
@@GAHAHAHH He’s an economist, you’d have to read his books. Honestly, it’s not misinformation, it’s just what the right likes to hear because the government has increasingly done most of us dirty since 9/11, and to many, since the federal reserve was created. We do have the most social mobility in this country (not basing that off of Sowell, I’m basing it off of something I learned at Berkeley). 90% of millionaires didn’t come from a millionaire household, you could refute that with inflation, but either way, it was true in the Trump-era when I was there. I’d argue that people don’t choose to be poor, which is what it sounded like he was saying in this video, but I have witnessed people spend untaxed money on drugs, prostitutes, and motel rooms for months at a time, so there might be something to bad decisions. That’s merely anecdotal, who tf knows? We get propaganda from both sides. I learned how the left does it and I’ve seen how the right does it. It’s a big scam. I personally don’t think it’s my job to fix poverty in a land with so much opportunity. However, I know that pisses-off and saddens my more Communist-leaning friends
I had read several of his books before I knew he was black. After I found out, my opinion did not change one bit. Something I have been trying to figure out (with a notable LACK of success) is Why I am supposed to care one way or the other what color someone is.

Someones Race DOES matter. Almost (but not quite) as much as if they have an Innie or an Outtie bellybutton. Now I'm NOT saying those with Outties are bad people, but one does have to have SOME standards.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 In that case I'm in the same boat you're in because I really don't get why it should matter to begin with ,so hey who really knows an answer to that right? stay well man .
I don't mind noticing someone's race for cultural differences. Some of the jokes about the differences between white and black Americans are quite funny-- and true. (I know he wasn't black, but Apu in 'The Simpsons' was a great example.) But in places where race is irrelevant, or where there is tokenistic obsession with race in the name of fighting racism, that is where I have a problem.

Always so nice to see these. I always enjoy listening to Mr. Sowell.
Sowell introduced me to Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. Excellent. Sowells books are excellent. He's a great writer and thinker, one of the best
Love this guy. Love his honesty, intellect and humour.
When Mr Sowell speaks , he is almost hypnotically listenable.
Dr Sowell
You are a national treasure. Thank you
Thomas Sowell is a true American treasure 🇺🇸
I wish Thomas was half his age and running for election (President). I'd vote for him hands down.
I would have crawled through broken glass to cast a vote for Dr. Sowell. What a tragedy for the rest of us that he was never a popular political figure.
And, at the same time, what a wonderful blessing for him and his family. I’m certain staying out of politics was a very conscious decision for him.
Thomas is not only one of the most insightful people but also one of the funniest too. Always puts a smile on my face listening to him.
I've recently been labeled a right-wing extremist because I believe high school girls deserve a league of their own.
As a leftie, no not like those centrist Democrats. I can assure you there are only two genders ,I believe in equality not feminsm . As for the woke they're dreaming. I have as much in common with the green haired freaks as I do with the orange skinned flog ,which is nothing. Both sides of politics have weird extremists .
It is wild that a person has to search out a man who speaks sense such as Sowell in the current day and age. I’m grateful that we can find these people and listen to what they say. I feel better knowing there are people who listen to him and agree with his ideas. There is hope indeed!
It's also great that you can find a group of dedicated fans of said person.
It doesn't matter.
Even if people like morgan freeman contradict the left,
the brainwashed sheeple merely call him a race traitor.
Same happened to bill mahr after debunking brad pit-tiful intellect.
Calm collected and effective answers, just like an American patriot. RESPECT and LOVE for this man.
First time I ever heard of Thomas So well was listening to Rush Limbaugh in the early 90s. He would often cite many quotes, books, articles from Sowell in his radio show. I'm thinking who is this guy Rush keeps mentioning? Then I found so many of his articles in the NY Post and saw him interviewed on TV every now and then. And that's how I got red pilled thanks to Rush and the great Thomas Sowell.
Same here. I learned a lot listening to that show while toiling in the cubical farm. Still have a lot to learn.
Bless Rush. In truth, I disliked his bombastic radio persona, but he was brilliant & taught me to not be fooled by the self righteous, fake niceness of liberalism.
Condolences that your brain was infected with RL garbage.
Sowell is an extremely wise man. We need his voice out there more often
he is a great man, wish we had more like him
I love how the left ignores the fact that most of the Rich and all the corporations are on the left-wing side.
If the general population seems to be currently moving toward the left, it is understandable that SOME wealthy people and SOME corporate executives are trying to gain popularity by siding with the current trend. I wonder, however, whether you can provide some source or sources of information to corroborate your statement.
I love Thomas Sowell…a great man and economist!!
I love the line, “they never believe they make choices”. Good or bad we all make choices and through individual responsibility we should be allowed to make choices and need to live with those choices.
They now firmly believe a choice shouldn’t be an option, the new way is make it a tax and everyone pays. Crazy
Boy; Yep, they never make choices. It’s always the nasty wealthy Republican CEO’s of mega-corporations who force the poor sympathetic Democrat plebs to take the Blue Pill over and over and over again. “Not my fault.” With their head up their asses they can’t even see the Red Pill.
@@GAHAHAHH First and foremost I do not assume anything I simply speak from experience. Coming from someone who grew up in the trailer park and chose to get out I would have to disagree with almost everything you said. Out of 8 kids 2 of us chose a different path while the rest chose to stay in the trailer park and are now living off government "benefits". I will never feel sorry for anyone who chooses to be poor in America. I've lived in countries where oppression was real and being poor was not a choice. Being poor in America for the most part is a state of mind. Making bad choices is something we all do but the poor tend to constantly make bad choices while the rest of us learn to make better choices. One thing I do agree with you on is that people who make bad choices aren't always forced to live with those choices, often times the rest of society is left to deal with them. This is why teaching individual responsibility is so important. These are my thoughts and are in no way meant to be dangerous. I appreciate the dialogue.
@@GAHAHAHH As a proponent of free speech I realize words/thoughts are at times triggering but I'm ok with that. I believe discourse of any kind is healthy for the human spirit. Yes, I gave an example of my personal story and I could've went on to talk about the rest of my life to include living in 38 states and 7 countries which clearly is more life experience than most but I'm not sure any amount of experience would convince you that being poor in America is for the most part a choice. If you have a soft spot for the poor then cool you be you. However, I would highly recommend living in a country where oppression is real and being poor is not a choice rather more like an assignment.
You say can't and I say won't. I believe if someone thinks they are poor and thinks they can't "escape their circumstances" then they won't. Hence my comment about being poor is a state of mind. Have we really become so intellectually frail that we can't overcome our own destructive thoughts?
People can chose to read/hear my opinions or not. You can try and label my thoughts/words as "misinformation" but you do not get to oppress my thoughts/opinions just because you don't like what you see/hear. Do you support banning books too? Feeling threatened by the thoughts and opinions of others just makes you come off as intellectually weak. Liberal trait. What are you afraid of? The UA-cam comments section is loaded with thoughts and opinions but most of us are stable enough to not feel threatened by such thoughts and opinions.
As stated previously I appreciate the conversation. Instead of trying to suppress the thoughts of others I encourage you to be open minded, listen, develop your own opinions and you might find thoughts/opinions less triggering. Take care!
Sample put you reap what sow.
It’s a disgrace that his so called brothers and sisters don’t know him and the ones who do, they show no respect to him. God Bless Mr. Sowell. Amen 🙏
A prophet is never appreciated in his home town.
"The Last of the Victorian Parents"
Were it that all parents strove to be as such; we'd likely not be in the social and financial position we're in.
If parents had made sure what their kids were learning. None of this would of happened.
@@traczebabe True that.
@@traczebabe I know right! Imagine working a full time job and managing a household and NOT having the time to home school!
@@traczebabe ...would *HAVE* happened, or *would've* happened
"Victorian parenting" was largely about children and young people being 'seen and not heard'; not being allowed to express feelings; to maintain unnatural restrictions on dress, "modesty", sexual expression, and self determination. Girls were taught that their place was in the home being subservient to men, and boys were taught to know their place, to work for their betters for meagre wages and be grateful. It was only the handful of rebels who managed to overcome this conditioning and speak out against it, who helped us to eventually get better working conditions, healthcare, and education. Anyone appealing to some misty eyed view of Victorian parenting had better have some pretty specific examples of what the positives were, and how they overcame the psychological and emotional repression which was part of that system.
One of my absolutely favorite thinkers
Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Victoria Davis Hanson, the late Dr. Charles Krauthammer are some of the best critical thinking common sense minds of our time.
While we can’t be as smart as they are, we should be thankful to have them as contemporaries. Truly honored, in my case.
i would like to recommend Jordan Peterson to people reading this comment.
The late Walter E. Williams is worth mentioning too...
I'm 75 years old and I wish with all my heart that I was Dr. Sowell's son. How much different my life would be, how much differently I would have turned out. But what's done is done, and all I can do is admire him from afar and model my life on what I think he would...want? Approve of? I don't know, but he is the model I will follow.
Sometimes people can find a father figure elsewhere. I see people on Jordan Peterson videos saying that he acts like a father to them.
@@NullParadigm It's good to be young.
"Life is tough, I'm merely trying to acquaint you with those facts." This is all Thomas Sowell does, he does it brilliantly, and yet so few listen.
Personal responsibility is a thing of the past .
Thomas is a GENIUS !!!!
America needs more Thomas Sowell's
Life is tough - so true...
I didn't go looking for trouble, trouble came looking for me...
Love this guy!
I so admire this man. If only more people would follow him.
I'm glad that I found him several years ago. The thing that I like about him is that his views aren't for the black man nor are they for the white man. His views are for truth and to me that is the best view.
When someone calls me a name I just agree with them. After that, they pretty much have no where to go. Then I say, "Now that we're through talking about me, let's be adults and go back to talking about the issue." I don't always win arguments that way, but at least they shut up and listen.
Yes. Classic offering them the other cheek.
thanx for the advice Roger.
i will use that in my next discussion.
good point.
2:30 I have witnessed this first hand. Our IT guy at the time where I work use to get on social media all the time and complain about how we needed socialized medicine and it cost him thousands when he had kidney stones. This guy had a Star Wars pod racer arcade game in his den, sipped $100 a bottle whiskey, and had 2 sports cars with at least 10 grand under the hood of each. Paying for insurance was always the first thing that came out of my check but apparently myself and every other responsible person out here are supposed to pay for his too. We all make choices.
I hope Mr Sowell has long & healthy life
He already does.
I love this man. He speaks truth to the Liberal Establishment and it scares them to death.
What a brilliant mind. The mind of Thomas Sowell.
I seriously wish I was a fraction of this man's intelligence.
I wish I (had) a fraction of this man's intelligence. Usage of good or correct English,( like this gentleman has) is a good representation of intelligence.
Thank you.
You will when you are his age.

Thomas Sowell is incredible! He’s a national treasure and needs a bigger platform.
Thomas Sowell is my favorite intellectual, a real hero.
The gentleman is a treasure.
He is always worth listening
Man speaks truth to power. I learned about Mr. Sowell when my children were in high school. I began studying economics courses and all the insights I gained from him made sense. So I began applying the economic way of thinking & concepts in parenting. Started with a $2000 compact car they could drive free to work & community college during a set period of time. They could work to save for their own kind of car they wanted, or spend their savings else where. But when the time was up, no wheels. Went to the next child. It was fascinating to see how each made their choice. Debt free. Really believe it helped with developing decision making skills and rational thinking RESPONSIBLE young adults. Had relatively few conflicts with entitlement mentality. And they express gratitude now. His influence made a difference! So when someone says something to me about how I raised my kids, and they'd do it different (based on liberal ideals), I tell 'em "Good luck with that. Let me know if the results you get were worth it".
So you agree, people can really use a leg up to get started. How liberal of you.

@@hensonlaura I didn't say anything about socialism. How maga cult of you.
@@craigjames4258 I get this platform is not a place for depth explanation for better understanding. Clearly you dont understand socialism. The way your comment reads and communicates is very shortsighted. Sowell is well balanced in his approach. A "leg up" is distinctly different from unbridled entitlements, which steal from others. Socialism is state run interests. Get REAL education about circular flow, incentives and human behavior. BTW... the car was 15yrs old, with peeling paint and barely working A/C. It represents what we settle for when we accept the lower standards of social/entitlement programs! But if you develop character, focus and a healthy work ethic with consistent diligence and excellence, you can trade up for better. That free will choice is up to each child. But they reap the outcomes of their choices. That is not liberal!
@@catherinebourdon8258 In reality, socialism is government ownership of means of production. Giving out food stamps is not socialism.

We may very well be witness to that warning statement now as a prophecy… 🤷♂️ what do you think?
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

@@GordonPavilion you know what… you are correct! I saw that about 14 yrs ago. It was the flag draped over a capital “O” and that people’s savior shouted “Yes we can!” Reminded me of things from the cuba in the early 60’s
Dr Thomas Sowell you are so wise. I love you, and thank God for you.
Ahhh, logic, forgiveness, education, corrections, humanity. All so precious.
This man is a national treasure.
What an amazing man and a role model for millions of people.
God bless you Dr Sowell.
I like the way he thinks!🙄Good man!
"Not everyone wants to buy health insurance"
Democrats: "And I took that personally" *passes bill to force everyone to buy it*
And destroys a lot in the process.
The problem with health insurance (or taxing people to pay for health care) is that it is connected to a system so horribly broken and corrupt that in its current form, there is no way to fund it without rampant corruption.
I wish people in the US traveled more because if they did, they would come face to face with the reality of health based health care in foreign countries.
My family travels a lot and we get about 90% of our health care over seas and 100% of our medicine. Factoring in the flights and hotels it is still far cheaper than here in the US.
Its also amazing just how much is OTC in foreign countries. No specialists, no 6 month waits, no endless tests and procedures.
"Can I have medicine X?"
"Yes, that will be between $3 and $15"
That is what buying medicine is like in a country that cares about health.
@@nosirrahx
To what country(ies) are you referring?
@@vikings94066 I spend a lot of time in Ukraine and Dominican Republic. Meds are super cheap and easy to get. On one of my last trips to Ukraine I needed a doctor on Sunday and with 1 call I had an appointment in 30 minutes. My daughter needed her wisdom teeth out and it was far faster to fly to Ukraine for the procedure. Far cheaper too even factoring in the flight.
@@nosirrahx Thank you for that information
Great job family 💯🇺🇸👍
Blessings to you brother!!!!!🙏
I absolutely love Thomas Sowell.
I really like listening to this man, makes such sense
I love this man!
God bless this man
Roger Ailes interviews Thomas Sowell . Two dynamos and national treasures.
I love this guy.. "life is tuff" is my response to anything opposing my constantly moving forward attitude
A national treasure.
Dr. Sowell. is the epitome of Common Sense, Reason. an Intellect. I Like him.
I really wish Dr. Sowell had run for president. He would be so much better than any of our recent leaders.
What an absolute genius. For those of us alive, we have been blessed to have him.
Well said.
Mr. Thomas Sowell, a brilliant man.
Thomas - One of my favourite people on the planet. 👍
Please mr Sowell run for President of the US! The country is in dire need of a man with moral standards and a good knowledge of the economy.
@@philipmartin2919 You are absolutely correct. But we do need people like Professor Sowell to lead America 🇺🇸 !
Very astute and profound intellect and he puts it in such a natural way to show how genuine and sincere he is in his expression of what he is explaining here.
What a great thing to hear
One of the greatest minds and people of our time. 👍🏻
This man is absolutely brilliant!!!
I've got to state, this man is very, VERY impressive. His grasp, articulation, and depth of issues at the center of what troubles our society in general at the core is so rich to hear. I've become a HUGE follower and so appreciate his candid pointedness over so many societal troubles.
I wish others in the main stream "leadership" and public service were as well spoken, open minded, learned, and well versed/well read, having such an ability to clearly cut to the chase of what is the base issue(s) and then observe the obvious path before us. Just brilliant.
It is amazing to me how ignorant, ill prepared, and shallow people have become in this "educated" era, and how painfully obvious their ineptitude, ill-preparedness, and their lack of depth and character shows whenever speaking to current critical policies and movements in public - embarrassingly so...
Oh my, this man is a shining star amidst very many dark moons... thank you, sir, for being who you are, persevering, and not allowing others to marginalize your message. YOU, sir, are a treasure. Many thanks for what you do.
I'm 53 and I'm so glad to see Dr. Sowell's ideas shared in 2022. Maybe there is hope?
Love this guy! Full of wisdom!
This man is a treasure!! God bless you Sir!
Thank you Dr. Thomas Sowell for my Daly dose of Sowell. All day long Yahoo
When my son started college, 20 years ago, I told him that my wife and I would pay for the courses he passes, but he would have to pay for the ones he fails. He did not fail many.
I have done a lot playing around in my 20s. Having done that. I know how to deal with poverty.
BUT the side effect is now that I am 75.
Probably going to have to use that experience to deal with what is coming. My income remains the same.
The rising poverty level is close approaching my fixed income level. I guess it is BOHICA time pretty soon.
My father tried to warn me. I believed the education system instead of him.
Fancy cars, faster women and bars will not pay the rent when the Shizzel hits the fan. You can tell him that.
Well maybe your grandchildren may need that more. They may even listen if both of you say it. Maybe.
God bless this man.
An amazing American Intellectual!!!
He’s a bright star who speaks truth.
Liberal or conservative,
ALL know truth when we hear it by that intrinsic light inside us.
May God bless Mr. Sowell.
Your god is a mythological character..
I love that....look at who you think 'sold out' and look at who's standing up for the right 'thing', and then look at what they drive.
Love the wisdom portrayed by Dr. Thomas Sowell. Thank you.
Thank God we have Thomas SOWELL!!
