"Do you feel proud of yourself for debating college kids who are unprepared to speak in front of an audience like yourself? Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're 30 years old. We can agree you're 30 years old, right? Do you think that's a little bit silly? Are you a voter? I am a voter. Oh, so I vote..."

[0:00] Do you feel proud of yourself for debating college kids [0:04] who are unprepared to speak in front of an audience like yourself? [0:09] Hold on, hold on, hold on. [0:11] You're 30 years old. [0:13] We can agree you're 30 years old, right? [0:16] Do you think that's a little bit silly? [0:18] Are you a voter? [0:19] I am a voter. [0:21] Oh, so I vote and you vote. [0:22] So I'm talking to voters of this country that will determine the future [0:24] of Western civilization. [0:26] That's what I'm doing here too, yeah? [0:29] Wait, hold on, how is it any different than a professor talking to you? [0:33] Than a professor talking to you? [0:34] Who are you? [0:36] Well, enough, important enough for you to come up to a microphone. [0:39] You create a company that's like, like close to being a fascist and then like. [0:44] Okay, how am I, let's go through this. [0:46] How am I a fascist? [0:49] Dude, like, you. [0:51] Can you name one thing I believe that's fascist? [0:53] Um, you believe that, like, you aren't, but. [1:01] I'm such a bad fascist, I let the people who disagree and open mic [1:04] to talk to me for two hours uninterrupted. [1:06] Okay. [1:07] I'm an awful fascist. [1:09] I'm more like a free speech liberal in the 1970s, not a fascist. [1:12] But I just want to say Turning Point USA is a evil company that was funded [1:17] by thousands of fracking companies and that just. [1:21] Well, no, it's not thousands, but we do have some frackers that give us money. [1:25] But yeah. [1:26] And then all it is, is making the rich more rich. [1:29] I don't know how we went from fascism to fracking. [1:31] That's all it is. [1:32] That's all it is. [1:33] Oh, okay. [1:34] Again, I'm happy to have a debate. [1:35] I can see you're getting kind of fired up. [1:36] I'm sorry. [1:37] But what, why, why are we evil? [1:38] Like we're, we're having a nice discussion. [1:40] All of a sudden you're calling me like a fascist. [1:42] Because it seems like you just want the rich get even more rich. [1:46] Like we, we haven't talked about the rich at all. [1:48] I mean, so do you, you don't even know my positions on this stuff under no circumstance [1:53] ever. [1:54] Should a man ever let a woman pay for a date or you can split ever. [1:57] No. [1:58] Even on this third, fourth, fifth. [1:59] What if it's first date and you're just nodding for anything? [2:01] Okay. [2:02] Well, let me, period. [2:03] Well, let me, okay. [2:04] So what kind of world are we living in? [2:05] Well, hold on a second. [2:06] I agree with you. [2:07] If I'm dating a girl, I would pay for everything. [2:10] Everything. [2:11] Yeah. [2:12] Everything. [2:13] However, I could see for other people that might be in a different financial position. [2:16] You know, you pay for 10 dates and then she's like, you know what? [2:19] I want to treat you. [2:20] I think that's totally different. [2:22] No, no. [2:23] What we're talking about is like, oh, we're going to alternate. [2:26] Like, well, what's your serious? [2:27] And she wants to take you out to something for a nice dinner. [2:30] And you might, by the way, if you have the intent to marry, you're already like kind [2:32] of blending finances. [2:33] Like I get that psychologically, but like, if you're like, oh, we'll take turns. [2:37] Like, oh, well, you know, you pay this time. [2:39] I pay this time. [2:40] What's your advice to a girl who's, who the guy she's currently seeing, he says that. [2:44] Oh, do not marry that man. [2:46] But here's the thing. [2:47] I feel like they should always break an offer. [2:49] That's great. [2:50] But they should offer, they should pull out the credit card. [2:52] The woman? [2:53] Of course not. [2:54] Just to offer. [2:55] No. [2:56] It's a nice gesture. [2:57] No, by the way, no, no, no. [2:58] This is, this is, this is feminism. [2:59] Feminism is that you have to be this like self independent. [3:01] This is not a nice gesture. [3:02] It's you trying to be like egalitarian. [3:04] No, you as woman should want to be provided for. [3:07] In fact, you should have an expectation that you as a woman are so important and so critical [3:13] and so necessary and beautiful that it shouldn't even be a question. [3:17] Do you view democracy as an American value as something that's very important to the fabric [3:21] of this country? [3:22] No. [3:23] Where is democracy in the US Constitution? [3:24] Oh, okay. [3:25] So are you- [3:26] No, no, hold on. [3:27] Where is the word democracy? [3:28] I don't think the word democracy is in the Constitution. [3:29] Where is the word democracy in any of the founding fathers? [3:31] Well, a lot of the founding fathers had extremely elitist viewpoints around who should- [3:35] No, hold on. [3:36] Hold on. [3:37] I just want to, you said the word democracy, so I want to get back to our roots. [3:39] Yes. [3:40] Where is democracy mentioned? [3:41] I don't- [3:42] In the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, or the Declaration? [3:44] I think it's good that this country has moved away from things that were explicitly [3:47] believed by the founding fathers. [3:48] Got it. [3:49] So it is mentioned in the Federalist Papers and it's mentioned negatively as a problem. [3:52] So you ask me, is democracy a fundamental American value? [3:55] I say no. [3:56] Okay. [3:57] To our roots and- [3:58] Do you- [3:59] Hamilton, Madison, and Jay- [4:00] Oh, I know that Hamilton was anti-democracy. [4:02] No, hold on. [4:03] Let me finish. [4:04] These people thought that people should be owned as property. [4:05] I want to be clear. [4:06] I am- [4:07] Yeah. [4:08] I am pro-representative government. [4:09] Okay. [4:10] But I'm not pro-democracy. [4:11] That's a big difference and that distinction is important. [4:12] But you asked very specifically about democracy, which is not an American value. [4:17] It never has been and never should be because what is democracy? [4:20] Democracy is majority rule no matter what. [4:23] That there's no provisions of checks and balances, no inalienable rights, no separation of powers. [4:29] Pure if the majority gets it, the majority wants it as quickly as possible. [4:33] I don't advocate pure democracy. [4:34] I do understand that we live in a representative- [4:36] Cool. [4:37] You're a stochastic terrorist. [4:38] What is that? [4:39] You're targeting a minority group. [4:40] You're targeting trans people specifically. [4:41] What is a woman? [4:42] That's a stupid-ass question, dude. [4:43] That's a dumb-ass question. [4:44] What is a woman, college student? [4:45] Oh, you're talking to a college student instead of like, I don't know. [4:46] Has media training? [4:47] They can't answer what a woman is. [4:48] It's not a trick question. [4:49] What is a woman? [4:50] What is that thing? [4:52] You can't answer the question with the question. [4:53] It's like saying, what is the sun? [4:54] The sun is something that looks like the sun. [4:56] What is a woman? [4:57] What is a woman? [4:58] What is that thing? [4:59] You can't answer the question with the question. [5:01] It's like saying, what is the sun? [5:03] The sun is something that looks like the sun. [5:04] What is a woman? [5:05] No, you can't answer the question. [5:06] Yeah. [5:07] Define the woman without saying woman. [5:08] Yes. [5:09] Thank you. [5:10] Yes. [5:11] Yes, ma'am. [5:13] How are you? [5:14] Good. [5:15] How are you? [5:16] What's your name? [5:17] Dakota.

[5:29] How are you? [5:30] Good. [5:31] How are you all for Dakota being here today? [5:38] I'm a fiscal conservative and I know I want to get into politics when I grow up. [5:43] I don't want to get into massive depth for a political science degree. [5:48] What concrete steps can I take now in order to achieve the goal of doing my part to make [5:53] America great again? [5:55] Great. [5:58] You should go to Hillsdale College, America's greatest college, and start studying now. [6:02] Start taking classes, reading books. [6:04] You have to be in charge of your own education.
