00:00:00.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and I believe that the people of the United States have a right to self determination.
00:00:06.000 My reason for going down to Charlottesville over the weekend was to demonstrate.
00:00:13.000 It was to show solidarity for a cause which has not been talked about in the mainstream media, which the American people never got a vote on, and that is the fundamental transformation of the composition of our country.
00:00:26.000 I was supposed to be entering Boston University for my sophomore year, but in response, To recent death threats and threats against my physical safety, I decided that that might not be the best idea.
00:00:38.000 Since I attended the Charlottesville rally, and really since I started to become a vocal supporter of President Trump, even during the election in 2016, I started to receive a number, a good number, of death threats, threats against my physical safety, and really just a general ostracism on campus.
00:00:57.000 I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to express my opinions, I never have been, but When you start receiving death threats to the extent that I have, it just becomes a liability to my brand, to my academic success, and everything else when you do have to worry about people ganging up on you or whatever.
00:01:16.000 It's disturbing to me the level of hate that people have been able to express and been able to feel against someone they've never met, never saw, never had a conversation with.
00:01:26.000 They say that we're the hateful ones, we're the bigots, and I get messages all day long from people I've never met telling me what a terrible person I am.
00:01:34.000 There's no hate on this side, I hate no one.
00:01:36.000 I would never do anything like that.
00:01:37.000 And so I think it's a little bit upsetting that the political climate is the way it is.
00:01:41.000 The ideas that I express, I arrive to based on reading, based on listening to philosophers or thought leaders.
00:01:49.000 And what I say is for the benefit of the country. 0.51
00:01:53.000 And I think for the entire political left to decide that anybody to the right of Franklin D. Roosevelt is a Nazi that must be exterminated and beaten and killed and viscerally hated without even being listened to, I think that is probably the most problematic part.
00:02:07.000 And perhaps the catalyst for the sort of political violence you're seeing in America today.
