It’s criminal that Thomas Sowell has not been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Thomas Sowell is a National treasure.

Thomas Sowell: a true intellectual giant of our time.
Both of these men are brilliant!! I love listening to them!
Tom Sowell’s life story and philosophy should be a mandatory class in every college in America. We’d all be better for it.

bravo, very well said, thank you . . . but, wether he likes it or not, he is, surely a romantic hero, folk hero - the stuff of legend and of contemporary gold in terms of biography elevated (as well as 'popularised')

Two national treasures.👍👍
Tom Sowell is one of the few people capable of separating the intellectual wheat from the chaff! Thomas Sowell is a prolific writer, I recommend reading "The Thomas Sowell Reader" first!
These are the best thinkers in our lifetime love them both truth is always worth listening to plus they both are great on facts what more could you ask for from two great men
Thomas Sowell completely changed my world view. He's truly one of the wisest men of this age.
You said it well about Dr.Sowell : In the most simple way ,the most deep truth… he speaks - yet modest , No noise as many do
I'm a huge Sowell fan.
Dr. Thomas Sowell would have made an exceptional president. God gave us a treasure in this brilliant man.
'I got a letter the other day from Tom Sowell', wow. How most of us would love to start a sentence that way.

Thomas it seems is the embodiment of wisdom
Please VDH, pass my love and thanks to Dr Sowell very soon. He changed my life and I am able to help others more as a result too.
A work of art can never be duplicated
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure.
Marvellous men.
Both of u guys are brilliant people
I've learned a lot from Thomas Sowell and feel very fortunate for having done so.
Two of the greatest minds ever. Love them both.
Literally never saw VDH smiling before. Wouldn't be surprised if Thomas Sowell's letter was the reason.
He's the best!
Two of my favorites!
Please request that he makes that list. The world needs to read what he reads.

His primary quality is courage, I think. Courage is needed to follow Truth where it leads __ sometimes into lonely and controversial places. Only with courage can intelligence mature into wisdom.
Thomas Sowell, an American Treasure.
My thanks to you, VDH and Tom Sowell; my copy of Semple’s book just arrived from Amazon.
Two great thinkers. Sowell is historically great. Love hearing Hanson admires him.
I hope that Dr. DVH and his associates at Hillsdale will think of a suitable way to honor Dr. Sowell PROPERLY while he is still with us. A chair, a school, a program...something suitable. Trick him into agreeing for the sake of the country, heaven knows he won't agree for himself.
When these two pass away,their legacies will live on! They are truly gifted thinkers and can't be replaced.
Two Amazing Americans. Love them both
Very true😊
Its sad that tom sowell is not well known more. He is brilliant
Two of my Heroes
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure
2 very intelligent Americans ✌️
That's a diner i'd love to have. Victor Davis Hanson and Tom Sowell, toghether, i probably would not eat much . Listen a lot . 🤫🤔🧠
Ufff, what a pair! But Thomas Sowell is my number one it's THE beacon in this dark times
2 of our greatest minds, period! I could listen to both of them talk about paint drying!
I want that list of books
VDH and Tom Sowell, I’ve been a devotee of them both for years. There are very few like them and no accolade exist that could do justice to their abilities.
I wish Mr Sowell would have entered politics in his younger days, it would not be fair to ask him to enter the chaotic fray we are now embedded in. Such a brilliant, thoughtful, forward thinking mind.
...two of the greatest Americans that have ever lived...
Sowell is great.
Dr. Sowell would've made a great Supreme Court Justice.
Very good men
Two good men.
Here's the book that Thomas Sowell sent to Victor Davis Hanson: Influences of Geographic Environment, on the Basis of Ratzel's System of Anthropo-geography Book by Ellen Churchill Semple
Id love to know Tom Sowells books he has, great vid 😊
VDH and Dr Sowell sitting down for lunch together. Folks, try and imagine the amount of knowledge and wisdom as those 2 men sit down to eat a sandeich
Two of America's greatest minds. Society will miss their sense of reason. Need to clone them both! 🧠👁️👌✨
True wisdom: consumer depreciation does not exist.
The truly good people, will not get even close to be a leader.
Top 5 speakers- Sowell, Hanson, Peterson, Scott Adam's and Ayn Rand.

My intellectual hero is Forrest Gump. I knew a real person who was such a giant.
Two of the smartest men of our time. Hanson and Sowell. Both are amazing!
Will Hollywood do a movie about him? No.
I don't know Sowell but I see all the conservatives use him a lot because he's one of a handful of Black conservatives that makes sense but he only speaks things that are true this is why you hear him quoted so seldom by there pundits but they do mention his name often this is very funny because the truth is very hard for them to act that way.
In one of Sowell's books, he addresses school choice and govt subsidized housing. He supported school choice because it allowed parents whose kids go to poor schools, to send them to better schools. When it came to govt subsidized housing, he was against that. Why? Because then people from poor neighborhoods would be able to move to better neighborhoods and then send their kids to the better schools in those better neighborhoods. Sowell said those kids originally from poor neighborhoods would reduce the quality of education in the good schools. Funny that.
It's a tragedy that Thomas Sowell's thinking did not really influence American society. We could have avoided this whole artificial woke era.
Conservative old dudes should have web-sites? Sounds like a couple of decades back, when old dudes talked to each other on their blogs. And these two old dudes clearly constitute a classic mutual admiration society. Reminds me that wisdom does not necessarily come with age, sometime age shows up all by itself. Conservatism is an exercise in futility. Keepers of the status quo; proponents of some non-existent bygone era; all are lost in a self-induced pipe dream. The only aspect of reality that can be relied on is change. As Lenin said, sometimes not much happens for decades, then a decade can happen in a year. That happens mostly because folks are fearful of change and some will attempt to move heaven and earth to thwart and deny it, and then the levee breaks and change floods over us. 2024 or 2025 is shaping up to be that kind of flood. Learn to embrace it and swim with the flow, there is no real alternative besides denial.
Conservative?. You want to serve Con?😂. Crime pays because you pay taxes.
Thomas Sowell is my icon. Just an incredible thinker. Would love to have a list of those books. We dont know them today. If we dont know of them, they can't be referred to.
