    The actual interview.from the source. Sorry, but I watched it at the time and think it should be seen in proper context. Don't worry MAGA, he softpedals any criticism for the sake of your feelings.

    Someone post what was likely a fake or edited version of the interview and the mods locked it, this is the real interview.

    Sowell does end this suggesting that if the tariffs are just a bargaining ploy, then maybe they are fine. But only for a guy a savage as Sowell would this be considered soft pedaling.

    “It’s painful to see what a ruinous decision from back in the 1920s being repeated.”

    Sowell is someone everyone should listen to as he is a thinker that offers great words for thought. And here is what he said two days ago (not April 1st where you took a snip-it to try and make a gotcha post) ...



    Curious your thoughts?

    Whose feelings are hurt?

    Sowell is brilliant. Curious your thoughts on his words from the other day I just posted?

    Do they just not post the warning for "altered or synthetic content" to right-wingers or something? You are at least the third such one that were fooled by the exact same AI content despite the warning being pretty prominent on the thumbnail.

    I am really curious how this thread ages. @CHFG8R is a poster I respect though we disagree politically on many things.

    You are reposting the fake, edited, AI, version. It literal says “altered audio” on it while watching… probsbly a warning added by YouTube. Take your own advice and stop listening to fake crap.

    The OP is a two minute snip-it...

    Where is Sowell today?

    I do not know. But I know the market matches the thoughts in the second video...

    This is the whole of the real interview. CHF’s is trimmed to just the question and answer on tariffs. Your link is an off one where the authors link CHF’s video and then added serval minutes of generated AI content to it.

    It's amazing how easily people are fooled, then dig in on the fake...
