Writes Tom Woods: Below is the speech I gave at Nullify Now! Los Angeles. At 20:03 I talk about how the various left-wing attacks on me over the years actually helped me conquer important character flaws, and persuaded me to treat my opponents more respectfully. I then thank people for having stuck by me through all this. My voice actually cracks [!] at the end of this section. Starting around 33:00 I explain why I feel as I do about the federal government. And that includes foreign policy, a subject about which not everyone in that room agreed with me. But I simply explained myself forthrightly, and people seem to have respected my position.
Even though I was exhausted and feeling under the weather, this may have been one of my best appearances ever. Thanks to the organizers and attendees for making it possible.
