00:01:14.000But if these kind of events interest you and you would like to become more involved, I welcome you to speak with one of us afterwards and sign up for Yale here.
00:01:23.000Okay, so now as you're all aware, you're all aware of the video online featuring Nicholas in which he explains why he's voting for Trump.
00:01:34.000And in light of the huge reaction to that video, Tonight is a chance for both sides of the political spectrum to be given an equal and fair platform.
00:01:44.000Each side will not only be responsible for arguing why their candidate is the better choice, but also why the other candidate is the worst choice.
00:01:52.000So it's positive and negative arguments.
00:04:47.000I thought you were going to try civility tonight.
00:04:51.000Now, I've been given this platform tonight exactly because this problem does exist.
00:04:55.000And what thought crime did the students of Boston University think so pernicious, so dangerous, and so evil that I be issued threats of violence, that I be ostracized socially?
00:05:07.000Of course, it was my opposition to multiculturalism.
00:05:13.000An ideology which purports to champion tolerance, diversity, and pluralism descended on me like a pack of vultures for having a contrary opinion.
00:05:26.000And now we're gathered here tonight, patting ourselves on the back for our brave and enlightened liberal minds, having a constructive dialogue about substantive issues.
00:05:39.000But let us not forget the reason for the season.
00:05:42.000Let's not forget why my story has gotten so much attention and afforded me this platform.
00:05:49.000If not for the work of the courageous and hardworking people of Young Americans for Liberty who generously hosted this debate, everyone here would be more than happy to excommunicate and ostracize me right out of this school.
00:07:37.000Unfortunately, for the people of the United States and around the world, a Clinton administration is still the best option for the American people right now, solely because her opponent is a racist egomaniac with an alarming fascist aesthetic.
00:07:56.000Hillary Clinton, regardless of how damning her neoliberal policies may be, is at the very least a committed globalist and therefore a catalyst for multi.
00:08:05.000In my view, globalism, or the increased interconnectedness of all the Earth's people, is the only path forward through the 21st century.
00:08:13.000While I disagree with how Hillary Clinton is choosing to pave this path, it is at least en route.
00:08:20.000Donald Trump, on the other hand, is at his core a nationalist, and nationalism, as his name may suggest, is the antithesis of globalism.
00:08:31.000Particularly alarming about Donald Trump, as I mentioned before, is his unique brand of nationalism, which is characterized by the same core elements as.
00:08:38.000Pinochet's Chile, Suharto's Indonesia, Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany.
00:08:46.000Here, of course, we are talking about the characteristics of fascism.
00:08:50.000These core elements have been classified by the Italian philosopher Uberto Eco Dustli.
00:08:56.000One, the cult of tradition, exemplified by the catchphrase, make America great again.
00:09:02.000Or, do you know what they would have done to someone like that back in the day?
00:09:05.000They would have been taken out on a stretcher.
00:10:21.000Machismo, holding both a disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of non traditional sexual habits.
00:10:30.000And Newspeak, which I think Donald Trump is quite great at, which is when fascists employ and promote an impoverished vocabulary in order to limit critical reasoning.
00:10:56.000So, all of these things lead me to believe that Donald Trump is a fascist.
00:11:03.000And although I'm a Marxist, and although I believe that Hillary Clinton's neoliberal policies are not in everybody's best interest, they at least are on the route to progress instead of barbarism.
00:11:25.000Okay, so now I just have a question for each of them.
00:11:31.000And after I ask them a question, you'll have a chance to respond.
00:11:36.000So, Nicholas, a lot of the response to your video was in regards to your view of multiculturalism, in which you say, quote, political correctness and the multicultural movement are subverting any effort that a conservative could ever make to change the country.
00:11:51.000Could you explain the meaning of this statement?
00:11:52.000I mean, exactly what transformation do you hope Donald Trump would bring, and why do you think it is the best path for America?
00:11:59.000Yes, so the first point is multiculturalism.
00:12:03.000Now, we have to distinguish, and I think it's important that we distinguish multiculturalism from multiracialism.
00:12:09.000I think that the vast majority of people here, and I think it's also very ironic, here on the liberal campus, we like to talk about nuanced ideas.
00:12:17.000Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, they like to talk about nuance.
00:14:45.000And if culture was not a factor in wealth, in freedom, in pluralism, tolerance, and all the things that we love here in America, then the distribution of wealth and all these things would be a statistical anomaly so impossible it could not happen.
00:15:00.000Why is it that all the free, democratic, wealthy countries in the world are in the West, America, Canada, Australia?
00:15:06.000Why is it that Africa is uniformly poor?
00:15:09.000You might say that it's because of imperialism.
00:15:11.000But when we got there in 1870, in some places they hadn't discovered the wheel.
00:15:16.000So I think we have to be very careful when we're talking about this debate that has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture.
00:15:24.000Now, in regards to Donald Trump and the cultural transformation he would bring, he's restoring Americanism and the monoculture that the United States was founded under.
00:15:33.000Now, these beliefs that I'm talking about, they're not crazy, fascist, everything I don't like is Hitler virtues.
00:15:39.000The virtues I'm talking about are pluralism, tolerance for people that don't look like us, freedom of speech, limited government, constitutionalism.
00:16:20.000So, after hearing all that, my question, I guess, is.
00:16:26.000Do you take into regard the material process through which cultures come about?
00:16:31.000Or, from my understanding, you seem to be saying that other places are poor and unwealthy because their cultures don't allow for entrepreneurism or whatever kind of factors you consider to be important for an economy.
00:16:45.000But I think what you're leaving behind in that analysis is the geography and the natural resource allocation of the earth and the accessibility to those things.
00:17:05.000Let's take two examples where American culture was imposed and two very different results.
00:17:10.000In South Korea, Japan, and West Germany, following World War II and then following the Korean War, America came, they reestablished the government, and they left them with American Western culture.
00:18:40.000By saying that Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong were able to adopt certain parts of our culture and then thrive because of it, that is multiculturalism.
00:18:49.000No, that's not the definition of multiculturalism.
00:18:54.000Multiculturalism is multiple different and distinct cultures living together.
00:18:57.000And what I am opposed to is not people adopting the good parts of Western culture and assimilating.
00:19:13.000So, no, that's not an argument for multiculturalism.
00:19:15.000If you want to take the good things about America, that's what we're for.
00:19:18.000That's the immigration policy we work for.
00:19:20.000Is so long as you adopt the Constitution, so long as you adopt speaking the English language and all the nice elements of our culture, then you can come here and move English, right?
00:19:54.000I don't think that your definition of multiculturalism is correct.
00:20:03.000Okay, well, then let's talk about definitions.
00:20:06.000So, my understanding of multiculturalism is the work that is done, it's the emergent property of a global society where cultures come together, find common ground.
00:20:20.000And then use those things to lay the groundwork for global society, which is the global economy, tourism, those things, all of those things that people are allowed to come and go as they please in most countries in the world, right?
00:21:02.000We want them to take the good American things.
00:21:04.000And what we don't want is for them to bring the cultures, bring the cultures with them that made the places that they left so bad that they left them in the first place.
00:21:13.000If we're talking about multiculturalism, meaning that they come here and they take the good things from America, then there's no argument to be had.
00:21:54.000Besides all of that, if you are saying that we don't want other cultures to come back, And bring the negativity that they supposedly innately have.
00:22:08.000How do you explain the cultural changes that happen after America comes in and does something, say in like Iran, right?
00:22:16.000Where they had a completely free situation, not completely free, obviously, a better situation of liberty than post American intervention?
00:23:55.000So, Jake, the video of Nicholas was met with a very harsh response online.
00:23:59.000Some students threatened to, quote, personally fight him, others calling him, quote, a waste of space, hoping he would be shunned by all of BU, some calling him even a Nazi, okay?
00:24:13.000Now, obviously, Jake, you didn't take part in these nasty comments, but I'd just like to ask if you would like to comment on this incident.
00:24:21.000Is there something you would like to say to all these people who did make these comments?
00:24:25.000And do you sympathize with the response?
00:24:32.000Okay, so obviously, threats of violence are not okay.
00:24:35.000They're unacceptable regardless of who's saying them, regardless of what direction they're coming from.
00:24:45.000I am not comfortable telling people not to speak their mind when someone, you know, this is a multicultural institution.
00:24:51.000There are people from all around the world who visit here, who come to school here, and whose cultures make up the fabric of this university.
00:24:59.000So, for someone to come in to this university, this multicultural institution, and to say that multiculturalism is cancer, to not expect a reaction is ignorant.
00:25:16.000And honestly, I, you know, People are defending what they perceive as their liberty to choose how they practice their existence.
00:26:03.000But so, you said that for me to come to this multicultural campus and exercise my First Amendment and say I think that multiculturalism is cancer, which I do, you're saying that it was ignorant for me not to expect that I would be bullied, harassed, have threats issued against me.
00:26:21.000I think that is what the liberals call victim blaming.
00:26:24.000My question then, of course, of course.
00:26:39.000I was really unsurprised because the climate, the current political climate in 2016, has been so hostile, and it's come from the left.
00:26:48.000The left, laugh it up, but the Democrats are the ones that are sending people at their rallies to get punched in the face and picking fights with Trump supporters.
00:27:03.000He talked to me about you should expect a response.
00:27:06.000Of course, I expected a response, but I also expect that we can be decent, that we can be civil, and that of all people, the left could be tolerant of an opinion different from their own, even if we are on a multicultural campus.
00:27:17.000For you to try to lecture people on modes of conduct is completely ridiculous when you're engaged in cyber brown shirting almost every night.
00:27:24.000Cyber brown shirting, explain that to me.
00:27:27.000You'd like to troll leftists to make them look like they're terrible people.
00:27:31.000But in reality, what you're doing is seeking a reaction, and just the same way the brown shirts did.
00:30:33.000The first thing I want to say about this is that I believe that trying to compare cultures is ultimately futile.
00:30:41.000And the reason for that being is that there are no metrics that can measure.
00:30:44.000The true weight of culture and people's agency without somehow reducing this weight into something arbitrary to understand.
00:30:53.000Instead, I believe we should focus on how to treat individuals with respect and allow every person to live their life as they see fit, either within the larger American culture, within a subculture, or completely anonymous.
00:31:54.000The idea of human rights, for example, is that those things are not delivered to us by God or by even our culture.
00:32:02.000Instead, they're delivered by the thing that delivers our culture.
00:32:04.000They're determined by the discourse under God and civil society.
00:32:09.000The discourse, this discourse, is commonplace in international institutions like the UN, which drafted the Declaration of Human Rights, and in my opinion, proves that all cultures are equally.
00:32:21.000Capable of working towards a situation of perfect liberty, equality, and fraternity.
00:32:27.000But that doesn't mean that all cultures are equal in the specifics of their historical situation.
00:32:34.000And I think this is where differences in cultures come up.
00:32:39.000And many constructivists, people who focus on the role of culture in international relations, believe that this is the genesis of the propensity for cultures to have phobias and prejudices.
00:32:51.000For example, Let me take Russia for example.
00:32:54.000In recent years, the Kremlin has cracked down on allowing gay rights to make any headway in Russia.
00:33:00.000I don't believe it's because the Russian people are just somehow more naturally inclined to be homophobic because of their cultural identity that they've inherited.
00:33:09.000I think it's a nationalist response to actions seen as working against Russian interests on the international stage.
00:33:15.000I think that the Orthodox Church is being played up as a symbol of Russian identity for the purpose of nationalism.
00:33:25.000And I think that institutionalized homophobia serves to create a large divide of the people of Russia and the West.
00:33:31.000And it helps maintain Russia's focus on pronatalism as a means of bolstering their population for the sake of economic productivity and national defense.
00:33:42.000And my last point is that the United States and Western culture as a whole is not above being riddled with its prejudices and phobias that we like to point out as being lesser parts of other cultures.
00:33:57.000Little regard in this country is given for the economic rights of people outside of our borders whom we infringe.
00:36:09.000Of course, no race is predisposed to any characteristic.
00:36:12.000If you bring a race into America and you raise them with Western culture, They will become a citizen of Western civilization with that Western culture.
00:36:22.000However, when you have cultures prevalent in these different continents and among these different civilizations, they do imbue certain things, which then those people of that cultural region naturally have.
00:37:22.000So, all of these things, you completely ignored the materialism argument, which is that Russia and all these other places, as you mentioned, have these human rights abuses because they are economically predisposed to require homophobia.
00:37:39.000It's required for the economy of Russia that you have homophobia?
00:37:42.000Okay, it's not required, but it helps because pronatalism is a program that helps increase the.
00:37:50.000Population out of this homosexuality and a lot of sexual deviant behavior actually comes to hurt the demographics of America.
00:38:02.000But a lot of the oh, oh, I'm not trying to conflate deviant sexual behavior with homosexuality.
00:38:08.000I'm just saying, in general, liberal tolerance of post sexual revolution attitudes of sexuality, which includes a big umbrella of things, has come at the detriment of American demographics and American economy.
00:38:20.000That the Western birth rate has been declining because of changing attitudes towards sex and the family.
00:38:25.000Now, if what you're saying is true about materialism, we would try and combat those trends because it would be bad for the economy and demography.
00:38:33.000But instead, we have encouraged them because it's more free, it's more tolerant, and it's better for the earthlings that you like to talk about.
00:38:41.000It's better for our economy because we have a focus on relative surplus value and are a labor intensive economy.
00:38:59.000Italy, I don't know if maybe this is unclear, but if you don't have a population, it doesn't matter the infrastructure, you're going to have less economic activity.
00:39:08.000Japan has a rapidly declining population in their economic risks.
00:39:12.000And their economy will decline along with it.
00:39:14.000I think if you're trying to make the argument that population is not intrinsically linked to economic activity, I think you'll find that's a losing argument.
00:40:19.000You said that Trump is more important than democracy on your website.
00:40:23.000Do you really believe that an authorian form of government, like the kind that emerged in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, would be better for America than democracy?
00:40:33.000Yes, I did say on my website, which is nicholasjfuentes.com.
00:41:53.000The government can do whatever it wants so long as it gets 50% plus one to vote.
00:41:56.000That is the definition of democratic sovereignty.
00:41:59.000That's why you have democracy in Iran.
00:42:00.000That's why you have democracy in the Soviet Union.
00:42:02.000That's why you have democracy in Cuba.
00:42:04.000Though they may not be actual majorities, the legitimacy of these corrupted, tyrannical governments derives from the 50% plus one metric.
00:42:13.000Now, I said that Trump is more important than democracy because if Hillary Clinton, by hook or by crook, gets elected and she shreds our Constitution and takes away our individual rights, it is incumbent on we the people.
00:42:27.000To uprise against a tyrannical government and restore a government up by and for the people, one that receives its rights and its authority from a constitution which we consent to.
00:42:37.000And I think that trading away the futures of our children because of the sanctity of the ballot box is a mistake.
00:42:44.000I think that if we're going to give up our second, first, tenth, fourth, fifth amendment rights, that we're going to go to war with Russia and Syria because Hillary Clinton was democratically elected, and God forbid we ever go against the democratic result.
00:43:12.000To take away the necessity for democracy for legitimacy completely destroys the Constitution as a social contract.
00:43:23.000There's no way for us to represent people to have a document that we say is.
00:43:31.000Binding to people for when they're born to when they're died, when they enter this country.
00:43:38.000You know, to say that that cannot be changed by the people, to say that that can't be, you know, superseded by popular opinion, that takes away sovereignty, individual sovereignty.
00:43:52.000Republican sovereignty is not more important than the right of the individual to political sovereignty.
00:43:58.000Now, I never said, I never said that we can never change the Constitution.
00:44:05.000And you can do that through Congress, you can do that through state legislatures, but you cannot rewrite the Constitution from the bench of the Supreme Court.
00:44:13.000And the individual rights that I'm talking about are not the cult of tradition, this Mussolini, we hate everyone that isn't white.
00:44:21.000The rights that I'm talking about are that you're free to express your opinion, that you are free to bear arms, so that if a government says that you can't express yourself, we can overturn that government.
00:44:31.000So, what I'm talking about with Republican sovereignty are the most basic foundational rights that the Constitution observes, not grants.
00:44:48.000So I think that canceling the Constitution because Hillary Clinton picked a couple of judges and then the Senate ratified them, and then the judges said, actually, free speech means this, and the Second Amendment means this, and the Fifth Amendment means that, through no representative process, as you know, the Supreme Court justices are not elected, I think that is what we must oppose.
00:45:06.000That is what takes away from sovereignty, is when a couple of old white men, as we all like to say, in black robes, are rewriting the foundational document of this country.
00:45:17.000We can't allow it to happen, even if Hillary Clinton is democratically elected.
00:45:30.000So, on the D.C. versus Heller decision on the Second Amendment, Hillary Clinton said that the Supreme Court made the wrong call.
00:45:36.000Now, what the Supreme Court ruled in the D.C. versus Heller decision is that the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, is an individual right and not a collective right.
00:45:45.000Now, if you were to go the other way, say it's a collective right, that opens the door for the confiscation of guns.
00:45:51.000Now, everyone says, oh, you know, don't worry, Tea Party loony, they're not coming to take your guns.
00:45:56.000But Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, without fail, in any conversation on gun control, say the Australian example is worth looking at.
00:46:05.000The British example is something worth looking at.
00:46:07.000And you don't have any guns in those places.
00:46:09.000They either had them bought or they became illegal.
00:46:12.000And the Second Amendment is what safeguards all the others.
00:46:14.000I know that may be a ridiculous proposition in a place like Boston, but you tell me if the government owns all the guns, you don't have private property.
00:46:24.000If you don't do what the government says and the government says, well, your house is my house now and they have all the guns, Who does it really belong to?
00:46:31.000And so that's why we need the Second Amendment.
00:46:33.000And that's just one example of how nine justices are going to shred our Constitution, and that's going to be the gateway to do it.
00:46:42.000So you think we need the right to bear arms to protect us from a government with nuclear weapons?
00:46:57.000A valid question, but I think anybody that thinks that the people, 300 Million people with more than 300 million guns in this country cannot defeat the American government.
00:47:08.000Do they know what the Afghanistan war was?
00:47:10.000Do they know what the Vietnam war was?
00:47:13.000I think that the idea that America is going to start nuking and droning the population into submission, defending our sovereign American rights on our home turf, that we will go away and surrender, I think that maybe they didn't read a liberal history book which said that a few people with modern day weapons in their homes and in their cities can take down any government, no matter how big, because we're fighting with heart.
00:47:35.000We're fighting for our rights and we're fighting for the rights of our children.
00:47:58.000Like, there are, you know, it's not just nuclear weapons we're talking about.
00:48:02.000If you think a handgun or even a machine gun is going to stop you from getting UAV'd, You're out of your mind.
00:48:09.000See, maybe playing a little bit too much Call of Duty, but as I just said in my example, as I just said in my example, if you know it, and let me give a little brief history of the war in Afghanistan.
00:48:39.000We've been in Afghanistan for 15 years, and men in rags.
00:48:42.000With AK 47s, we were able to repel the might of the American army.
00:48:47.000I think if you think that 300 million people with their 300 million guns can't take on the American government in a war in America, I think that's a mistake.
00:49:03.000You guys didn't print out two copies of the question sheet?
00:50:12.000Do you believe that the concentrated power which a Clinton administration would create in Washington, DC, do you believe that that could be harmful to America?
00:51:34.000I'm not saying it's an orchestrated plot, but I think you can discount so easily the power which she has accumulated and the power which she would exercise.
00:51:43.000I think that if you're saying that Clinton will get rid of all the concentrated power which Barack Obama and the Democrats have, that's not what I'm saying.
00:52:21.000Okay, I'm going to ask the really annoying question that might be too academic.
00:52:32.000So, I think you've talked about this already.
00:52:34.000So, you use the positive and negative rights methodology in a lot of your arguments about economics.
00:52:40.000How do you account for the capitalist's positive right to profits on stock and Adam Smith's understanding of a market economy at London and the World of Nations?
00:52:49.000Specifically, how does this positive right not pen a negative right on laborers to be forced to labor beyond what is required to produce what is necessary for society and their own needs indefinitely?
00:53:00.000Yes, so a very academic question indeed.
00:53:03.000Now, property rights are not positive rights, they are negative rights.
00:53:08.000I think if you conflate contracts with the right to the product of your labor, I think that's where the misunderstanding arises.
00:53:15.000The right for a free sovereign individual is to combine toil with resources and produce something.
00:53:20.000If you go out and you Chop down a tree and you build a house?
00:53:23.000That's labor, that's not profits on stock.
00:53:26.000Okay, well, if you're talking about profits on stock, I think that more refers to contract.
00:53:31.000And contract, you have no right to have a contract on it.
00:53:35.000I think everyone has the negative right to opt out of a contract.
00:53:38.000I think that's pertaining more to ethics than it is to natural rights doctrine.
00:53:43.000I don't believe it is a negative right.
00:53:46.000I think you are confused on what a negative right is because it doesn't put a negative right on someone that a company is publicly owned and traded on the stock market.
00:53:55.000Are working on the factory line, it is your negative right to walk out the door.
00:53:59.000It is also your negative right to continue working.
00:54:02.000It's a good time to remind people that all transactions in a capitalist economy must necessarily benefit both parties.
00:54:10.000That's why they occur, because they are voluntary transactions.
00:54:13.000Now, you talk about wage slavery and things of that nature, but it gets away from the fact that all contracts between consenting individuals, whether that be between an employer and a worker, or between a husband and a wife, or anything of the sort, You're talking about two people that are choosing to engage in that contract because it benefits them.
00:54:59.000By and large, used for almost every industry.
00:55:03.000That is a mechanism that has come about later in capitalism.
00:55:07.000It was in Adam Smith's wealth of nations.
00:55:09.000It was completely jiggling the space for that.
00:55:13.000But it didn't come to dominate the economy as they do until later.
00:55:16.000But it gets away from the fundamental point.
00:55:18.000I'm not talking about stock market options here.
00:55:20.000I'm talking about profits on stock, as in my right as a capitalist.
00:55:23.000If I lay down money on something, if I buy this table, for example, I have a right to, for everyone who sits there, I have a right to X amount of whatever they produce.
00:55:34.000If you purchase something and it becomes your property, then you get to dictate the terms on which people use that service.
00:55:41.000If someone sits there, they're unfringing your negative rights, but you are property and left alone.
00:55:44.000So you have a contract that makes people indefinitely have to toil for you.
00:55:48.000You don't have a positive right to the contract, but if you're talking about stock as in capital, capital is an extension of the individual.
00:55:57.000Because, and this is sort of the hierarchy that I've observed in Bastiat's book, The Law.
00:56:02.000Sorry for people, we're getting a little bogged down in academics.
00:56:05.000Will reserve the Trump Clinton sensational festival.
00:56:10.000For the academics in the audience, in the hierarchy that Bastiat sets up, and for those of you atheists, I know there's a lot of godless hippies out there.
00:56:31.000What Bastiat said Bastiat said that individuals get their rights from God.
00:56:39.000And through our faculties, which are God given, we produce things, tables, we work, we gain money, we purchase things.
00:56:48.000And because we earn all of these things in economic capital through profit, which is determined through individual toil, through our faculties, our senses, our talents, and so on, that's seen as an extension and equally protected under naturalized doctrine.
00:57:09.000So, what you're talking about is objectified labor.
00:57:12.000You're not talking about profits on stock here.
00:57:13.000Again, profits on stock is the fixed capital that you buy that you, for some reason, apparently by God, have the right to charge people for forever.
00:57:22.000It is completely, it's the fundamental aspect of capitalism that is used to exploit people for both absolute and relative surplus value that has caused children to die in factories and has put structural adjustment programs all around the world.
00:57:42.000Which is a neoliberal program that you should oppose of all people.
00:58:35.000Okay, so tonight we heard a discussion about Hoover, Clinton, and Donald Trump, but I think more importantly, we heard a discussion on globalism and nationalism and multiculturalism and whatever the absence of multiculturalism looks like in the 21st century.
00:59:01.000But What I want people to take away from this is that we are in a very precarious place politically.
00:59:11.000I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton because I couldn't sleep at night if I voted for her, right?
00:59:15.000But at the same time, I understand that many of you can't sleep at night if you know that you're helping Donald Trump get to the White House.
00:59:23.000So it's incumbent upon each of us in the future to make sure that an election like this does not happen again.
00:59:30.000And I hope that we can all commit ourselves to that.
00:59:42.000Well, we have heard a debate on Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton.
00:59:47.000I think my opponent very poignantly said it is more so a debate about globalism versus nationalism.
00:59:53.000Now, I've made the case for nationalism, and though it might not have persuaded all of you, I would implore you all to look at the Declaration of Independence, to look at the Constitution, and look at what it says.
01:00:06.000We are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:00:31.000Ayn Rand said that racism is the most primitive form of collectivism.
01:00:36.000It's a good quote, even if you don't like her.
01:00:39.000Now, I'm not a racist, but the things that I am for are things that all of us here today in this institution are for, which are tolerance, diversity, pluralism.
01:00:51.000Now, if we're living in a country where Washington, D.C., the media, the establishment, the politics, the economy, and the Western world is controlled by a small group of crony, well connected elite, I think you'd be hard pressed to say that this country, as it exists, can endure long, and it won't.
01:01:08.000So I would encourage you to, if not vote for Donald Trump, vote your conscience, like my opponent.
01:03:27.000I have a question that's kind of a similar question for both of you, actually.
01:03:31.000But, Nick, in your blog, the post that had come up, sort of an extension of what we were talking about before, the Donald Trump democracy, I have a direct quote here, and I'll read it right off because I don't want to get anything twisted.
01:03:43.000Through their graves, the founders, they urge us to pursue the peaceful and legitimate means of the government which they created.
01:03:49.000And if that fails, then to take up arms and remind the professional politicians who runs this country.
01:03:54.000Now, this is kind of, would you encourage an armed rebellion after the election if your candidate doesn't win?
01:04:01.000And sort of, same thing for Jake, would you encourage that if Hillary Clinton lost this election?
01:04:10.000Because what we're going to see if Hillary Clinton is elected is two things.
01:04:12.000We're going to see her fill four Supreme Court justice seats, we're going to see her legalize 11 million, possibly more, illegal immigrants.
01:04:21.000Now, that's going to have two effects.
01:04:23.000It will change the balance of the Supreme Court in favor of liberal activists for generations, possibly until the end of time.
01:04:30.000Two, the second effect is that Republicans will never win the White House ever again.
01:04:35.000They will never win the Senate ever again, because those illegals that are legalized will turn Colorado, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico blue again until the end of time.
01:04:43.000Now, my opposition to that is not because of liberalism.
01:04:46.000My opposition to that is quite because of the contrary.
01:04:49.000Because when you have one party that runs three branches of government ad infinitum, I think that you will never.
01:04:57.000Be able to maintain or have a free society.
01:04:59.000So I would say that if the Republicans were in this position, I'd say that the Democrats are in this position.
01:05:03.000So while I don't want to encourage violence because I don't want the Secret Service to pay me a visit, I would say that it is worth resisting by legal and possibly less than legal means.
01:05:31.000There's a lot of us who have done some pretty crazy shit over the years.
01:05:34.000But I do not believe in this day and age that armed rebellion of any kind in an industrialized advanced economy like the United States is productive at all.
01:05:43.000Even if Donald Trump were to win, I would not be saying everyone needs to go buy an AK and get ready to march on Washington.
01:05:51.000And the reason for that is about the Second Amendment debate that we just had.
01:05:55.000I do not believe that the people of America are capable of suppressing the American government.
01:07:19.000This is the one question I didn't prepare for, but I will say that my opponent, I will say that I was going to say a very similar thing.
01:07:29.000I think it takes balls to be, and I'm all about balls to the wall.
01:07:33.000I think that you are, I think it's brave, I think it's courageous to have an opinion which is so contrary.
01:07:41.000I know in the liberal campus of Boston, you may not take a lot of flack, but I think generally speaking, to go into a political debate and say, I'm defending Hillary Clinton, but I didn't vote for her, and I'm a Marxist, and she's evil, but the lesser of two.
01:08:25.000Under a lot of fire for his questions about women and allegations, and there's been a lot of studies done, and this selection has been specifically traumatizing to women, especially victims of sexual assault.
01:08:37.000If someone has to keep reiterating that they've been saying that they've had the utmost respect for women and at the same time want to punish them for abortion, how would you justify that?
01:08:49.000I think the first part is trauma women, the second part is how do you justify someone who has to keep defending that they love women if they actually do?
01:08:59.000If you're talking about people who are victims of sexual assault and there's trauma there, I think that I don't see where they take offense or why they're scared of Donald Trump.
01:09:12.000As a victim of sexual assault, I take offense knowing that the runner of this country is a victim.
01:09:29.000It should be a deal breaker not to have someone to support someone who has been on rape, who is going to trial for child rape and has all these allegations.
01:09:39.000Not all those accusations have been dropped, and he's the one who's going to sue them.
01:09:43.000And additionally, his wife has actually, there's been a, she actually was in court with him about marital rape, and she rescinded that because she got paid off for it.
01:09:52.000I don't, if someone has to keep saying they respect women, I don't really think they do.
01:09:56.000I don't mean to get you to sound like condescending here, but I think as a man, you don't.
01:10:00.000Fully understand what it's like as a woman in this election specifically.
01:10:06.000Excuse me, I just want to say one more thing.
01:10:11.000This election has been extremely traumatizing, especially with this talk about grabbing women by the pussy, because that is not locker room talk, and you cannot condone that in any matter.
01:10:20.000I do not physically understand how you can support a candidate who has said such terrible things about women.
01:10:26.000Okay, thank you for your loaded statement, and I will answer it.
01:10:31.000In many parts, because there were many parts to what I think some might call the question if they didn't know what the question was.
01:10:40.000Now, look, if anybody really cared, if anybody really cared, they would know the names.
01:10:47.000They would know the names and they would know the circumstances of every one of the allegations against Donald Trump.
01:10:53.000But I found when I asked people, they don't.
01:10:57.000Okay, well, let me tell you something about what happened.
01:11:00.000Many of the cases were brought against Donald Trump by Gloria Allrad.
01:11:03.000Now, you may know Gloria Allred because she brought similar accusations, unfounded accusations, against Herman Kane when he was the Republican frontrunner against 2012.
01:11:12.000When he lost and Mitt Romney won, she brought similar unfounded allegations against Mitt Romney.
01:11:17.000And now, here we find her again in 2016, bringing more allegations against Donald Trump.
01:11:23.000In one case, a woman said, by the name of Stoyanov, she said that Donald Trump was groping her in his house, and the butler burst in and interrupted the sexual assault.
01:11:33.000The butler came forward and said, that never happened.
