That is definitely not in Dave's home studio. That location is at Stanford University. In fact, its the same table they use for most of hte Hoover Institute interviews, which can also be found on youtube
He's too dangerous, cause after u get acquainted with him...u get a Life! The Left can't have that. Up to us to promote Sowell. I always do, at dinner parties lol.
The most widely assigned author throughout US universities is Marx's "Communist Manifesto" (which explains a great deal). I think Universities have a moral obligation to assign an equal dose of Sowell, or 'reality' as I prefer to call it.
We flew our whole team up to San Francisco, rented a studio and hired a crew to make this interview happen. Unfortunately, TH-cam has demonetized this video. Thanks to all of you who support us so we can do shows like this one! www.rubinreport.com/donate
He's gotta be the all-time most suggested guest for this show and others. I just picked up "Discrimination and Discrepancies", as well as Hayek's "Road to Serfdom". Long live Thomas Sowell!
Thomas sowell could just walk around with a tape recorder on and those tapes would get devoured! For a pessimist sure smiles a lot! Good work Rubin report.
Rubin, Thomas Sowell is probably the most impressive guest you've ever interviewed, and that is really saying something. I'm looking forward to part 2.
Bravo. I've been listening to it while I drive for about 6 months. So many details, and so many wow moments that I can't just let it play through without stopping it every 10 mins.
Nice going! It’s slow at times but well worth the effort in giving you tools to analyze actual results of proposed policies. Check out his website where you can download his questions for the book, see how much of it you remember!
Thomas Sowell, the man who challenged my remaining socialist beliefs in a way that I could not defend against. He is truly the greatest economic and sociopolitical mind of our time and I can't wait to read his latest book.
It may seem like getting a good or smart man into a major political position would "right the ship", but I think it's a mistake to underestimate the power of institutions that wield power to change men, for the worse. Dr. Sowell has had, is having and will continue to have a far greater and salutary influence on our society right where he is.
"I will settle for any kind of thinking, it's so rare these days." - Thomas Sowell (April 16th, 2018) A quote i will have written down for the rest of my life.
I'm turning 60 this year and have been changing my mind about a lot of things these last few years. How did Thomas Sowell become so enlightened so early? Must be IQ.
Carlos Gonzales I think diligence, humility and bravery also play a huge role. I see so many people that definitely have the intelligence to find the truth but they lack the diligence and humility to admit to themselves that they really don't know as much as they think and then do the leg work to uncover what's really going on and the bravery to stand up against the crowd of virtue signaling idiots screeching about "hate speech" and trying to tear you down because you contradict their simple minded, cheap and ultimately fraudulent moral high ground. Not to say that Thomas Sowell isn't also a brilliant man.
Carlos Gonzales He mentions that his parents both died when he was an infant, then adopted by a 4 adult household and received unlimited attention. Plus IQ and genetics. Mostly chance luck, meeting that kid he talks about, only child, new york city schools, timing of being in 40's. Lots of uncontrollable luck.
I would add to +slappy's comment "the importance of having a mentor at an early age". Sowell himself attributes significant changes in his life (learning about the Public Library and the power of reading) to his mentorship by Eddie.
D’lish Donut likely has no data on IQ (or other valid measurement of intelligence) to back up his or her claim that the people who think that Dr. Sowell “sounds smart” are less intelligent than those people who do not.
D'lish Donut You have too much extrapolation, and too many assumptions behind your original assertion that “Sowell only sounds smart to stupid people”; it’s really just your unfounded opinion or hypothesis. I would also want to know your sources for your second claim that “right wing people are less intelligent than left wing people”, and look at methodology, possible bias, funding, test group selection, etc. You made a huge generalization that no non-stupid people would think that Dr. Sowell “sounds smart”. You didn’t define stupid vs not stupid, and didn’t define “right-winger”. If you went to the trouble to design and execute a test of your hypothesis, “all people who think Dr. Sowell sounds smart are stupid people”, the odds are good that you will quickly find some non-stupid people who think that Dr. Sowell “sounds smart”, which would disprove your hypothesis. And, the odds are also good that they won’t all be “right-wingers”.
I’m from the uk and never heard of Thomas Sowell. After watching this i’ve just feasted on his work and been amazed by it. He was talking logic that would tear apart the crazy left-tarded views that blight our society and policy making today forty years ago!
Unfortunately the left has infiltrated the public libraries too and sometimes it is hard to find books with certain view points. My local public library is also currently propping up all the social justice warrior stuff and the Black Lives Matter narrative.
I was LITERALLY thinking just last night, " Dave Rubin should have Thomas Sowell on." This was right after I did a search on it to make sure I hadn't missed such epicness.
Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics changed me from A Socialist Democracy adherent in the vein of the scandinavian socialist regimes, to and advocate of Free Markets.
Rubin is doing a great job bringing all viewpoints to the public and I thank him for that. Can’t think of many other shows who’s guests have such a wide spectrum of viewpoints. Sowell of course is a living legend and with all he’s experienced throughout time everyone should listen closely to his opinions.
There are a lot of leftists that would be glad to go on his show, but he won't invite them. Sam Seder, Douglas Lain, Richard Wolff, Contrapoints, Destiny, Cult of Dusty. The list goes on...
Mecha Jesus I would respectfully disagree to have a man like David Frum on along with others shows a range of opinions and it’s good to have a forum that welcomes all.
Dave, I remember you tweeting in 2016 that you wanted to interview Thomas Sowell. Two years later, it happened. Congrats to you and your team. Part one was great. I can't wait to see the rest!
"Just trying to get a few simply facts across is a full-time job." ~ Thomas Sowell I love this man. As he nears the end of his life, I feel so sad for him in that not enough people have payed attention to his pure genius over the years. Goes to show you the state of where we're at in this country.
"Just trying to get a few simple facts across is a full time job." -perhaps my favorite line here from Dr. Sowell :) Thank you, Dave Rubin, for bringing this great interview! p.s. 2,264 additional people watched this in the last 27 minutes :)
He retired from writing his weekly columns a year or two ago, but even before then he rarely made public appearances outside of the Hoover Institution's "Common Knowledge" interview program. Looks like he resurfaced now to promote his new book.
Rubin has been working on this for the better part of two years. He got asked on just about every live stream. He finally made it happen when the book came out.
Now we have to wait for the rest. I think he is just warming up. This is a video to send to every smart but deluded leftie I know. I have been waiting a long time.
Thomas Sowell is one of the most intelligent men there is today. This is a wonderful interview of honest to God truth and facts. People need to absorb what he's saying.
And this is why I subscribe to Dave Rubin, great interviewer, nice guy, big names. Thomas Sowell is legendary. Great interview, Sowell has not changed his views in decades, and he is still correct!
But he’s black. Did you not get the memo that all of us are racist? Lol. How do they square the fact that 95% plus of republicans would have voted this man for president. Imagine him on ticket as VP with Trump. That would have been the greatest. I think it would have been a blowout win w him on ticket. He’s truly amazing and the courage is something special.
I sent the tweet to have them release it because of us East Coasters. Shit took forever. Thanks again fellas. Thomas Sowell has 10 hours of interviews from Peter Robinson at Uncommon Knowledge
Thomas Sowell is blessed with the ability to characterize the beauty of reason. He doubts the future, yet it is his character is what gives me hope for the future. May his legacy be remembered for generations.
I'm so flippin excited about this interview that I had to put it on my large screen, put my phone on mute and get my popcorn. Dr. Sowell has been one of my mentors since the 60's, and he doesn't even know it.
15:00 His comment about shutting out dissenting viewpoints here is so spot on. It was definitely something of concern in 2018 but now it seems even more relevant. His ability to see that kind of stuff and truly analyze, study, understand and then explain these things is amazing and make him as great as he is
lilblackduck2001 Lol best way to explain how I feel. Didn't realize Sowell was this beloved by people, which is awesome because he's basically one of my heros haha
My hero Sowell!! There is no one on this earth that speaks with such clarity and pureness of truth than this man sitting in front of Dave. DAVE! you didn't gush enough buddy.
I love this man so much. He has helped me sort out things more than anyone. He boils things down so well.. no bullshit, no double-talk. So much respect 🏆
I never enjoyed a book more than I enjoyed Intellectuals and Society. So happy you finally got this old spook to do an interview Dave! For anyone else who's interested in more content; the Hoover Institution has several long interviews with him on almost each of his books, hosted by the excellent Peter Robinson.
This dude right here is a personal hero! Changed my thinking for the better by teaching me HOW to think and not WHAT to think. Thank you Dave and Dr. Sowell!
Great interview, Dave. Thomas Sowell's voice is needed now as much as ever. This interview must have been one of your most monumental efforts to get, considering his retirement. This was certainly well worth the effort.
I’m so glad he’s still doing interviews. His commitment to relentlessly gathering hard evidence and presenting it in a digestible format helped turn me from the left to being a free market libertarian.
Too bad Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Al Sharpton, Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters and other Black Politicians cannot look to the Great Thomas Sowell for advice and influence, the Man is a wealth of Knowledge and common sense. I love this Man!
"I will settle for almost any kind of thinking, it's so rare these days."
Dr. Sowell is a living legend.
@Randy Van Horn And a National Treasure.
@Randy Van Horn ...
aw man. I was just typing this same quote then I saw you already took care of that 2 yrs ago and stopped. Tx!
Brilliant comment😂!
*You got Sowell on your show, live and in studio. CONGRATS, Dave!*
Well, he got him 'live and in studio' by moving the studio to San Fran!
Still *on* his show, the show can move around so long as you have a set and a camera. And the set doesn't need to be amazing if the content is great.
To be fair, Sowell's not as young as he used to be, probably doesn't get around as easily.
Book tours make all possible.
That is definitely not in Dave's home studio. That location is at Stanford University. In fact, its the same table they use for most of hte Hoover Institute interviews, which can also be found on youtube
I hope I'm capable of talking and thinking this clearly at age 90.
If I could be half as thoughtful and well spoken at 40, that would be something.
Eat lots of vegetables.
My Grandfather is 90 and he speaks this clearly, of course its in Spanish because he is from Mexico.
... he’s 90?! Shit man, I gotta moisturise.
Is he seriously 90? I'd guess 65. HES 90?! No fucking way.
Thomas Sowell makes me proud to be human.
Excellent comment!
Thomas Sowell is an intellectual giant. I only wish there was more marketing of his books. More people need to be exposed to rigorous thinking.
Audacity - I've been buying them all there and listening to them whenever I'm on the road.
He's too dangerous, cause after u get acquainted with him...u get a Life! The Left can't have that. Up to us to promote Sowell. I always do, at dinner parties lol.
This man is a giant !!!
The most widely assigned author throughout US universities is Marx's "Communist Manifesto" (which explains a great deal).
I think Universities have a moral obligation to assign an equal dose of Sowell, or 'reality' as I prefer to call it.
The same guy narrates all his audio books - Robertson Dean. I love his voice, it's like a stern father figure lecturing a wayward youth haha.
We flew our whole team up to San Francisco, rented a studio and hired a crew to make this interview happen. Unfortunately, TH-cam has demonetized this video. Thanks to all of you who support us so we can do shows like this one! www.rubinreport.com/donate

The Rubin Report You will get my Patreon support for this. When you get Peterson and Sowell together I'll double it.
Thomas sowell could just walk around with a tape recorder on and those tapes would get devoured! For a pessimist sure smiles a lot! Good work Rubin report.
The Rubin Report thank you.
Rubin, Thomas Sowell is probably the most impressive guest you've ever interviewed, and that is really saying something. I'm looking forward to part 2.
I'm 17 and I've just finished Basic Economics, and can't wait to read more of Sowell's stuff
JustComments123 read a conflict of visions next. It explains everything about the left right difference.
Bravo. I've been listening to it while I drive for about 6 months. So many details, and so many wow moments that I can't just let it play through without stopping it every 10 mins.
Congrats! You're off to the best start possible.
From basic economics you should go to economic facts and fallacies next. Perfect follow up
Nice going! It’s slow at times but well worth the effort in giving you tools to analyze actual results of proposed policies. Check out his website where you can download his questions for the book, see how much of it you remember!
"What was your wake up to that line of thinking?"
"Facts."
Perfect!!!
Truly one of the best minds of our time!
The Young Turds OF COOOOOOUUUURRRSSSEEE!!!!
Armenian Genocide, anyone?
The Young Turds now I have Steven Crowder with the Cenk outfit in my mind. Thanks
Beer By The Numbers I believe he is the best thinker alive
The Young Turds Ahh the pudgy Anatolian hobgoblin. Gotta love him. Or not. Probably not.
Thomas Sowell, the man who challenged my remaining socialist beliefs in a way that I could not defend against. He is truly the greatest economic and sociopolitical mind of our time and I can't wait to read his latest book.
Yay!!!!!!! Thomas Sowell!!!!!!!!!!
If only this man could have been our first black president :(
A dream
Alex Andrews nuh,I think he wants to work with george soros and put Israel first
It may seem like getting a good or smart man into a major political position would "right the ship", but I think it's a mistake to underestimate the power of institutions that wield power to change men, for the worse. Dr. Sowell has had, is having and will continue to have a far greater and salutary influence on our society right where he is.
I pretty sure he doesn't want to be president.
President for Life 1972+
Finally!!! :D
That man is a living Gandalf. So much wisdom in a single person, he is truly one of the greats.
INDEED
INDUBITABLY
The master of facts and logic!
Dr. Sowell is truly one of the intellectual giants of our time... Criminally under-rated and not given the respect he rightly deserves
"I will settle for any kind of thinking, it's so rare these days." - Thomas Sowell (April 16th, 2018) A quote i will have written down for the rest of my life.
I'm turning 60 this year and have been changing my mind about a lot of things these last few years. How did Thomas Sowell become so enlightened so early? Must be IQ.
Absolutely. He's very far to the right of the mean on the bell curve.
Carlos Gonzales I think diligence, humility and bravery also play a huge role.

Carlos Gonzales yes he has a 150* iq without the Ego. Listen to Jordan pedersen he’s smart too
Sowell should have been first black president
naaaaaah blacks hate the intelligent among them
he isnt interested in being a politician
To the left, Sowell is a walking, talking, liberal myth-busting impossibility. May God allow this man exceptional health to continue to do His work.
D’lish Donut likely has no data on IQ (or other valid measurement of intelligence) to back up his or her claim that the people who think that Dr. Sowell “sounds smart” are less intelligent than those people who do not.

D'lish Donut so you’re for central planning?
Vincent Cuttolo I noticed typical sentiments of a troll
D'lish Donut a mix of what?
I’m from the uk and never heard of Thomas Sowell. After watching this i’ve just feasted on his work and been amazed by it. He was talking logic that would tear apart the crazy left-tarded views that blight our society and policy making today forty years ago!
Take your children to the public library, even in these times when reading material is so easy to find online. It changed my life, too!
CM now and days, parents send their kids to the public library for free babysitting purposes. Reading...no!
Unfortunately the left has infiltrated the public libraries too and sometimes it is hard to find books with certain view points. My local public library is also currently propping up all the social justice warrior stuff and the Black Lives Matter narrative.
Happy 90th birthday Mr. Sowell
Watching this now amid the covid and protest, yes, you won my heart again Dr. Sowell
Remember. It's "mostly non-violent". 😲
I was LITERALLY thinking just last night, " Dave Rubin should have Thomas Sowell on." This was right after I did a search on it to make sure I hadn't missed such epicness.
Geek Legion 'Lo and behold, such epicness.
synchronicity perhaps
I heard your thoughts...
Normally I would be frightened at the prospect of someone reading my thoughts, but this time I am pleasantly surprised.
Geek Legion, me too. ‘Rubin Thomas sowell’ is well-recognised on my search bar
YES!!
Owen Benjamin is still giant carcinogenic ballsack.
Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics changed me from A Socialist Democracy adherent in the vein of the scandinavian socialist regimes, to and advocate of Free Markets.
Esdras Cantu one of my brothers calls himself a “democratic socialist” I don’t know if he’d read the book if I sent him a copy.
TT Kk my brother won't read the book and I've been telling him for 5 years.
marxism=socialism= communism= Liberalism= Fascism...i think
Esdras Cantu
Bravo to you!! Keep on growing! Capitalism has freed more people than any other economic system.
Unum in regno Dei you think wrong
Thomas Sowell on Rubin Report?
Go forth and spread the word!
SPREAD IT!!!
People need to know. People deserve to know!!
In-arguably one of the greatest minds of our time; the man is a living legend.
Absolute SHAME on TH-cam for demonetizing this video. SUCH an informative conversation.
What do you mean?
Obviously, TH-cam resists raising the intellectual tone by demonitizing this interview.
A Thomas Sowell video is the best birthday present a man can possibly recieve. Thank you Mr.Rubin!
rrrrrrktjtj - Happy Birthday!
Rubin is doing a great job bringing all viewpoints to the public and I thank him for that. Can’t think of many other shows who’s guests have such a wide spectrum of viewpoints. Sowell of course is a living legend and with all he’s experienced throughout time everyone should listen closely to his opinions.
circa now I'm not sure how diverse the guests really are... Not that it's Dave's fault, the left refuses to talk after all.
Thanks for watching!
There are a lot of leftists that would be glad to go on his show, but he won't invite them. Sam Seder, Douglas Lain, Richard Wolff, Contrapoints, Destiny, Cult of Dusty. The list goes on...
ZialusPT Destiny? Lol.
Mecha Jesus I would respectfully disagree to have a man like David Frum on along with others shows a range of opinions and it’s good to have a forum that welcomes all.
Anyone else enjoy the way Dr. Sowell speaks?
Chase Roubideaux Slow relaxing and logical.
Can't get enough of Sowell. Dave, this might be your best interview to date!
Dave, I remember you tweeting in 2016 that you wanted to interview Thomas Sowell. Two years later, it happened. Congrats to you and your team. Part one was great. I can't wait to see the rest!
I NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO QUICK
hahahah I swear I was going to comment this same thing
You mind reader son of a bitch! The same thing happened lol
same
Lol...I always wait for the podcast, but I couldn’t wait. I’ll just listen again when the podcast publishes.
SAME HERE!
The GREAT Thomas Sowell doesn't look or sound anywhere near 87 years old. What a great guy.
Skol
never clicked on a video so fast....still on my way to work...good job Dave!!!!
Haven't seen an interview of this quality and sustenance in a long time. Mr Sowell never disappoints. Will have to tune into this channel more often.
Every time I see Thomas Sowel do an interview I just thank the gods he's still with us.
"Just trying to get a few simply facts across is a full-time job."
~ Thomas Sowell
I love this man. As he nears the end of his life, I feel so sad for him in that not enough people have payed attention to his pure genius over the years. Goes to show you the state of where we're at in this country.
A true Gentleman. And one of the brightest minds in the game.
Massive respect to Mr Sowell
Wonderful interview and interaction. Very well done Dave Rubin. Thank you so much for making it happen to make it available to all of us.
omg you got Thomas Sowell?! That's a serious win! congratulations!
"Just trying to get a few simple facts across is a full time job." -perhaps my favorite line here from Dr. Sowell :)
Thank you, Dave Rubin, for bringing this great interview!
p.s. 2,264 additional people watched this in the last 27 minutes :)
for all the hardcore political/economic enthusiasts, this ought to break the internet! thanks dave for finally having a talk with this legend!
I’m loving Mr. Sowell’s book, Discrimination and Disparities. Hoping people will open their eyes to the truth. Thank you!
How the balls did you get Dr Sowell on. I thought he was done being public.
He retired from writing his weekly columns a year or two ago, but even before then he rarely made public appearances outside of the Hoover Institution's "Common Knowledge" interview program. Looks like he resurfaced now to promote his new book.
Perhaps because Rubin is an actual journalist.
He recently appeared on Shapiro and Crowder as well. Looks like he's finally making the new media rounds!
Rubin has been working on this for the better part of two years. He got asked on just about every live stream.
He finally made it happen when the book came out.
Now we have to wait for the rest. I think he is just warming up. This is a video to send to every smart but deluded leftie I know. I have been waiting a long time.
"I will settle for almost any kind of thinking." - Thomas Sowell
One of the best lines ever!
Thomas Sowell is one of the most intelligent men there is today. This is a wonderful interview of honest to God truth and facts. People need to absorb what he's saying.
CA Pearson I’d like to see him and Jordan pedersen do something together
supertroll, I hope they do get together.
Hell yes. Rubin's show was an integral part of my political awakening and now he has one of my favorite thinkers on. Thomas Sowell is a life changer.
And this is why I subscribe to Dave Rubin, great interviewer, nice guy, big names. Thomas Sowell is legendary. Great interview, Sowell has not changed his views in decades, and he is still correct!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and a personal hero of mine. He is so brilliant.
DR: What woke you up?
Dr Sowell: Facts.
Never has the truth been spoken in so simple words.
I could listen to this man all day.
I can't believe this man is almost 90 and still as sharp as ever. Truly an inspiring man.
Please bring Dr. Sowell back on! Perhaps a panel, too? Elders? Peterson? Love your show all day long, Mr. Rubin. Keep up the spectacular work.
Halfway into the new book and I'm convinced that this man is my Dad
Papa Sowell!
haha
But he’s black. Did you not get the memo that all of us are racist? Lol. How do they square the fact that 95% plus of republicans would have voted this man for president. Imagine him on ticket as VP with Trump. That would have been the greatest. I think it would have been a blowout win w him on ticket. He’s truly amazing and the courage is something special.
You are the man!!!! Thomas is a national treasure. GOD I would love to see Thomas with Stefan! Thank you, Thank you, can' wait for part 2!
FINALLY
I could listen to Thomas Sowell for days and still want more.
I sent the tweet to have them release it because of us East Coasters. Shit took forever. Thanks again fellas. Thomas Sowell has 10 hours of interviews from Peter Robinson at Uncommon Knowledge
Most important. Mr. Sowell said at the onset that his only hope was that he is not misleading Dave. A mark of humility. Bravo to Dr. Sowell.
I'm fanboying out so hard right now.
Dave and Dr. Sowell, you guys are amazing!
Thomas Sowell is blessed with the ability to characterize the beauty of reason. He doubts the future, yet it is his character is what gives me hope for the future. May his legacy be remembered for generations.
YES, finally. I’ve been waiting for this interview for months and it’s finally here.
HOT DAYUM!! Dave Rubin! You are THE MAN.... AFTER Dr. Thomas Sowell, of course!
I freaked out when I saw this interview in my suggestions I absolutely love Thomas Sowell
Wealth, Poverty and Politics. Changed my life. I'm 18, Dave is definitely right about young people supporting Sowell.
DAVE: So what was your wake-up to what was wrong with that [Marxist] line of thinking?
DR. SOWELL : Facts.
ME: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm so flippin excited about this interview that I had to put it on my large screen, put my phone on mute and get my popcorn. Dr. Sowell has been one of my mentors since the 60's, and he doesn't even know it.
YEEEEEEEEES! The way i was exited for my favorite rappers to drop their new albums a few years ago, i am now exited to see a Thomas Sowell interview.
15:00 His comment about shutting out dissenting viewpoints here is so spot on. It was definitely something of concern in 2018 but now it seems even more relevant. His ability to see that kind of stuff and truly analyze, study, understand and then explain these things is amazing and make him as great as he is
OMG!!! I'm geeking out man!
lilblackduck2001 Lol best way to explain how I feel. Didn't realize Sowell was this beloved by people, which is awesome because he's basically one of my heros haha
My hero Sowell!! There is no one on this earth that speaks with such clarity and pureness of truth than this man sitting in front of Dave. DAVE! you didn't gush enough buddy.
My boy Sowell.
Thank you Dr. Sowell and thank you Dave. Can't wait for part 2
The intellectual GOAT
I love this man so much. He has helped me sort out things more than anyone. He boils things down so well.. no bullshit, no double-talk. So much respect 🏆
I never enjoyed a book more than I enjoyed Intellectuals and Society. So happy you finally got this old spook to do an interview Dave!
For anyone else who's interested in more content; the Hoover Institution has several long interviews with him on almost each of his books, hosted by the excellent Peter Robinson.
It's a masterpiece on sorting empiricism from the post-modernist tosh that dominates today.
Truth be told, I love all his work.
This dude right here is a personal hero! Changed my thinking for the better by teaching me HOW to think and not WHAT to think. Thank you Dave and Dr. Sowell!
THOMAS SOWELL WE LOVE YOU
edit: YOU TOO DAVID RUBIN! THE RUBIN REPORT IS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
Its been three days since I’ve pondered acoss Thomas Sowell and i cant get enough of this mans brilliant mind and thinking.
Saw the notification, clicked it, gave the it a thumbs up, THEN i watched the video.
Great interview, Dave. Thomas Sowell's voice is needed now as much as ever. This interview must have been one of your most monumental efforts to get, considering his retirement. This was certainly well worth the effort.
Really happy we got this interview. Rubin is getting more popular, that's for surr.
Thomas Sowell is a breath of fresh air in these trying times and should be required reading for all the humanities. Brilliance incarnate!
I paused 8 minutes in to buy the book
Im halfway through it and its the best
Where did you make your purchase?
Matty Bhoy just get it on Amazon
Barnes and Noble had it in store.
Me Too..... watching the TH-cam video: "Huh, Sowell has a new book?"... immediately goes to Amazon.
Thomas Sowell... What a HERO!!! What a Outstanding Role Model!! Thank you Dr. Sowell for you courage, and moral excellence!!
"Disparate outcomes do not imply disparate treatment"
I’m so glad he’s still doing interviews. His commitment to relentlessly gathering hard evidence and presenting it in a digestible format helped turn me from the left to being a free market libertarian.
I just hope I haven’t mislead you. What a great response!
I've never had my eyes more opened than my exposure to Dr. Sowell's writing.
One more book to add to the growing collection of Sowell!
Dr. Sowell is a national treasure. Love to see him still out there trying to reason with America!
Too bad Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Al Sharpton, Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters and other Black Politicians cannot look to the Great Thomas Sowell for advice and influence, the Man is a wealth of Knowledge and common sense. I love this Man!
Dave, having Sowell on your show, you've outdone yourself, sir.
So much wisdom
The best interviewer out there, talking with 1 of the people I most wanted to see interviewed. Thank you Dave
Sowell is the GOAT
I love Dr. Sowell. Congratulations on getting him.
