Democrats are trying to control the flow of information.
Winning the information war is one of their keys to victory.
And Kamala Harris’ allies tried to stop voters from seeing one important message from Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan is censored
Comedian Joe Rogan hosts the biggest podcast in America and is the face of the changing landscape of the media.
His podcast gets more viewership than the entire primetime audience of a cable news network.
Former President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Rogan on his podcast.
He had a three-hour conversation with the comedian that covered a wide range of topics.
Within 24 hours of the interview being posted on Rogan’s YouTube channel, it was viewed more than 26 million times.
A Fox News show broadcast in primetime gets about 2.5 million viewers according to Adweek.
Trump’s interview was viewed across all platforms in one day more than the combined viewership of the nightly news broadcasts of ABC, NBC, and CBS.
Democrats and their media allies were terrified of the Rogan interview because of the podcast’s popularity with younger men, a crucial voting bloc Trump has made inroads with.
And it helped humanize him which discredited the attacks against him for being an unstable would-be dictator.
YouTube began to censor the video of Trump’s interview with Rogan from its search and wasn’t on the trending page despite being one of the most popular videos in the platform’s history.
YouTube does not return the link to the full Joe Rogan/Trump interview no matter how I try to search for it.
There is no sensible explanation for this, and if deliberate, Google is overtly interfering with the elections.@YouTube this needs fixed immediately. pic.twitter.com/4xt0V9V1EF

Jim Jordan launches an investigation into YouTube’s censorship
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) accused YouTube of suppressing Trump’s interview with Rogan from voters.
He sent a letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pitchai that argued its subsidiary YouTube “appears to have censored the video of Joe Rogan’s recent interview with President Donald Trump.”
“We write to seek an immediate briefing on (1) YouTube’s decision to censor Joe Rogan’s interview with President Trump; and (2) Google Search’s elevation of material critical of the interview,” Jordan wrote.
Jordan noted that there were widespread reports of people having trouble finding the video.
“Recent news coverage reports that ‘search[es] on YouTube using the terms ‘Joe Rogan Trump’ or ‘Joe Rogan Donald Trump’ did not bring up Friday’s three-hour sit-down at the top of the list,’” Jordan stated.
YouTube admitted that there were problems with people finding the video in a statement.
“For some searches on Monday, the original 3-hour interview didn’t appear prominently. Short excerpts uploaded by the Joe Rogan channel appeared, but we know it was frustrating for users looking to find the full video,” YouTube said in a statement. “We’ve worked to resolve this and viewers will begin seeing the full podcast in more YouTube search results soon.”
Jordan slammed the Big Tech giant for suppressing political speech in the closing weeks of an election.
“Americans deserve access to political speech, especially in the closing weeks before an election,” Jordan said. “Given the company’s recent history of censorship, including at the behest of the Biden-Harris Administration, YouTube’s censorship of former President Trump is particularly troubling.”
Big Tech is an arm of the Democrat Party helping its candidates get elected.
