This video is listed at 2 hours, 30 minutes - but you can skip the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes, leaving you with a 2 hour video.
The combatants are Ethnic Nationalist Nick Fuentes versus Civic Nationalist RC Maxwell. And the question is whether Ethnic Nationalism or Civic Nationalism is better.
My recommendation number for the Tariq Nasheed versus Jared Taylor video was an 8 out of 10, because Tariq's arguments are funny as hell, creating a very high entertainment value score. My recommendation number for this debate is a 5 out of 10 for general audiences, and a 9 out of 10 for those highly interested in the debate question.
PROS: (1) You get to watch two twenty-something individuals debate a highly important political question. (2) The debate has a clear winner. (3) The debate can be used to generalize about the relative strength of the Civic Nationalists versus the Ethnic Nationalists.
CONS: (1) The "World War One" question takes the first 45 minutes - and is arguably uninteresting and unimportant, given that neither is a historian, and the audience doesn't care about history. (2) The bickering between them easily doubled the time of the debate, which should've taken about an hour.
---------
Background:
I've heard a lot of people say, "If Conservatives find a way to amass 15% of the Black and Latino vote, we'll be fucking invincible! But RC Maxwell's performance should disabuse you of that idea.
There are two ways to win a debate: Making a great argument OR forcing your opponent to make phenomenally stupid ones. Nick Fuentes won the debate 85%-15% using the second tactic.

Ultra brief summary:
RC Maxwell begins by mentioning (more than once) his background as a professional college debater.
He then opens with a series of assertions and implications, essentially reducible to: (1) World War 1 was caused by Ethnic Nationalism, (2) Ethnic Nationalism is violent and genocidal, while Civic Nationalism is peaceful and just, and (3) There's no realistic nor practical way to partition the United States into ethnic enclaves without creating a Civil War, so Civic Nationalism is the better and cheaper solution. (4) Arguing in favor of Ethnic Nationalism alienates Conservative Latinos and Blacks.
As I said earlier, the World War 1 question is boring and unimportant, because neither is a historian, and the audience isn't historically informed, either.
The debate only starts to get really good about one hour in, when Nick Fuentes performs the following three move combo, which takes about 30 minutes: (1) He psychologizes RC Maxwell by stating, "I understand how an Ethnic Nationalist United States threatens your existence within America, so I can understand where your biases come from." (2) He asks RC Maxwell to "name a single Black settlement that, when left to its own devices, produced a thriving society". This question
highly triggers RC Maxwell, because it launches a sub-discussion of whether Blacks have assimilated relative to native Whites AND immigrant Jews and Asians. RC Maxwell asserts that Blacks have assimilated, and Chicago's misery is caused by Blacks adopting "a Democratic mindset" and having children out of wedlock". (3) Nick Fuentes then gets RC Maxwell to admit that Blacks and Latinos are voting along ethnic lines, and asks RC Maxwell whether this is a problem.
This is when RC Maxwell destroys himself by responding, at timestamp 1:53:XX, that
Blacks voting at 92% or higher for Barack Obama has nothing to do with whether Blacks have assimilated, because assimilation "is all about cultures, coming into different cultures, and uniting under a system of beliefs, values, ethics, and so on". "When Blacks go to the polls and vote for people registered under Democrats, that's NOT breaking assimilation; that's LITERALLY participating in the American Democratic System."
RC Maxwell loses the debate, because
Civic Nationalists told immigrants (both legal and illegal) that they're welcome to America in unlimited numbers, and they're just as American as everyone else. And when these immigrants fail to assimilate, they've millions of excuses that place the blame on Ethnic Nationalists, rather than on the Civic Nationalists and/or the immigrants they welcomed.
There has been enough discussion about Civic Nationalism, Ethnic Nationalism, and the Alt-Right on RVF, along with predictions of who will achieve more. To those who you who oppose Ethnic Nationalists and the Alt-Right, your greatest YouTube champions are losing - and they're losing decisively. They present very few arguments, which are easily defeated, and then launch into ad hominem and other signs of utter defeat. Maybe you'll help them; maybe you won't. But right now you're losing.
