    I dumbly assumed the first video was real as well. It’s a new era of fakes, so we might all benefit by being a bit extra careful.

    I quickly googled Sowell to see if I could find anything more recent. I see now that it was put together. But no one will answer about the second video and the point it makes.

    I just hope those on the left actually start listening to Sowell!!!

    You want people to "answer" about the fake second video? Why? Can you at least base your opinions on something other than proven fake youtube videos. This is why no one takes you seriously with your covid crap...

    Sowell is a major thinker in economics, and I think well worth listening to there.

    I don’t think the extended AI part of the video was worth as much as his real answer. Tariffs are not good policy, but maybe can be useful as a bargaining ploy.

    You are basing yours on a 2 minutes of a 60 minute video that is a month and a half old.

    Sowell offers so much. Go learn something from him!

    Pretty much what Sowell says. Correct?

    All I’m saying is post the real video, not some AI altered video that shows what you wish he had said, and then pretend it real. You really can’t learn anything about his actual opinions from that, can you.?

    Go watch the whole video from Sowell. Stop deflecting with what we established.
