We Just Got Proof Of A Huge Attack On Free Speech, And It Has Nothing To Do With Jimmy Kimmel

For those who follow my podcast, you might remember that, a couple of years ago, YouTube demonetized my channel. They were under pressure from various propaganda outlets affiliated with the Democrat Party, and they caved. The financial consequences were significant. We’re talking about six figures in losses, every month. If we didn’t have paying subscribers at The Daily Wire, if we were a much smaller media company with fewer resources, it would’ve been catastrophic. 

It was clear what YouTube wanted in return. They wanted me to pledge to use the so-called “preferred pronouns” of people who identify as transgender — men like Lia Thomas and Dylan Mulvaney. In other words, they wanted me to affirm a lie that contradicts my faith, my politics, and also common sense and basic biology. And in general, they wanted me to refrain from offering any kind of meaningful critique of gender ideology. In YouTube’s eyes, this was the only way to be “advertiser friendly.” Of course, I refused to go along with this. So we ended up pulling the podcast from YouTube entirely for an entire year — and we just ate the financial losses, which were extremely significant.
