Gah, I don’t have time to watch 32 minutes of video right now. My kids are still up.
Dr. Sowell is looking spry for his very advanced age, bless his heart. I saw him live over 20 years ago in San Antonio, one of the great experiences of my life, along with seeing Alan Keyes live.
In my opinion, Thomas Sowell is America’s greatest living intellectual, and Alan Keyes is our greatest living orator.

When it comes to a battle of wits between Charlatan and Sowell, it’s the mismatch of the century.

A race hustling, brainless dimwit as Al Sharpton doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with the esteemed Thomas Sowell let alone be in a debate with the great man.

What’s with the weasel-words, “may just”? It’s a simple objective fact.
All government officials should be locked in a room with the complete works of Thomas Sowell until they can pass a basic exam. After that, if they do the wrong thing, we’d know it’s because of ideological blindness or personal evil, not ignorance.

Mr Sowell may just be a National Treasure I would agree but having an "Uncle Tom" for a National Treasure would not sit well with a loud portion of the population.
I often say that Thomas Sowell is the wisest man whose thoughts I have access to on a regular basis.
