Why is this video not complete? It's cut in the middle of the speech... Did something happend that mises.org doesn't want us to know?

 

Sorry if this question had already been asked.

Are you going to link to it?  Because otherwise, I don't suspect anyone will bother to look for it.

Email the webmaster.  I have already watched this beginning to end and it was fine.  If there is something wrong with the video, you should let the webmaster know as only he can correct it.

Why is it called a webmaster?  It sounds so dungeon-esque.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The video fades out to black before the speech ends, so it's obvious that it was meant to be that the ending was edited out from the video.

When I watched it, he did a Q&A with the crowd after the talk.  He even talked to a member of the diversity task force which showed up.

I don't know why the last bit would be "censored", perhaps it was edited down, but the entire thing was a brilliant refutation of his critics IMO.

Geez, I just watched it again.  It's almost 2 hours and 10 minutes.  That's the video.  I think you're really reaching that there was some sort of censorship at the end.  If you don't know that much more happened at the talk, then it's just idle speculation.  I'm fairly certain if something exciting happened, the Diversity Task Force would have jumped all over it.

Block, HEROIC!

I hate the fact that it's cut at the most interesting part of the video...
