Thomas Sowell: In the Right Direction Tuesday, November 22, 2005 ARCHIVE November 22, 2005•Thomas Sowell: In the Right Direction Part 1: Sat., November 26 at 5:30 p.m. ET Part 2: Sun., November 27 at 5:30 p.m. ET Hosted by Fred Barnes Author and columnist Thomas Sowell's work has been called "myth-busting" and a "bath of cold logic." His fearless takes on everything from race relations to the economy have served as guideposts for conservative thinkers for the last 30 years. Sowell, now 75 years old, was born into poverty in the rural South and raised in Harlem. He was a high school dropout who would eventually graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard University, years before affirmative action and the civil rights movement. How did this poor minority student go from menial labor in New York City’s Meat Packing District to short lists for cabinet positions in the Reagan White House? And, with a lifetime of experience and study behind him, what would he do to insure that others, eager to follow in his footsteps, get the same opportunities? Though he is a prolific writer, Thomas Sowell grants few interviews, yet he sat for a candid, one-on-one with Fred Barnes, co-host of "The Beltway Boys." What follows is a no-holds-barred look at the key issues facing America in the 21st century and what we need to do to make this a better place to live and work for everyone. Radio commentator, Rush Limbaugh makes a rare appearance in this program, which will be aired in two, half-hour installments.
I want to buy his latest book and give to several "pity-the-poor-blacks" sisters of mine...
An impressive fellow. ....incredibly clear thinker.
"Saw Barnes' interview with Sowell yesterday.
An impressive fellow. ....incredibly clear thinker."
I think you have missed part 2 today
I want to listen to him once a week! Maybe Fred Barnes could start a regular program - with Thomas Sowell.
Grrrrrr.
That would be only too good to be true!
Anyone got a transcript?
What were his three questions for any liberal idea?
anyone know if this will be repeated?
I have had the pleasure of listening to some genuises in my life. One or two of them were almost incomprhensible, stream of consciousness. But most were like Sowell. Clear, succint, and an unbelievably simple presentation of some complex information.
I saw today's, but missed yesterdays.
America is blessed to have Sowell.
How? (I think - but probably wrong)
At what cost?
What's your evidence?
Unfortunately I did. Caught the last 5 minutes, though. Anyone know if it'll be re-run?
"I absolutely LOVE this guy. He's fantastic!"
Double ditto! Thanks for the post- but I missed both shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I occasionally check Creators Syndicate (creators.com ) and reprint Dr. Sowell's columns. Great stuff.
I need to put these into my quickdraw holster. I'll find plenty o' opportunities to draw and shoot 'em in my neck of the woods.
It would be great to have more interviews like Fred did.
