YouTube Censors Trump’s 3-Hour Interview with Joe Rogan

There’s nothing quite like the spectacle of high-profile interviews in today’s digital landscape to make one wonder if they’ve stumbled upon an elaborate game of hide-and-seek, except that the only ones hiding are those pesky conservatives. Take, for instance, the recent tête-à-tête between Joe Rogan and former President Donald Trump, which was, as predictable as the sun rising, practically buried by YouTube. Perhaps the platform was worried it would set off massive waves of “unapproved” thoughts along the shores of its gentle, liberal audience.

Just imagine it: Trump, in all his glory, going toe-to-toe with Rogan for a casual three-hour chit-chat. You can almost hear the collective gasp from the guardians of the internet as they immediately activated their “Shadow Ban” protocol, ensuring that if you searched for “Trump Rogan,” you’d be as likely to find it as you would a needle in a haystack—only to realize, of course, that the needle was just regular ol’ hay labeled “Censorship.” It’s almost poetic how the words “extremely low-quality spam” were flung around like confetti, marking this political exchange as the prom that never got a chance to dance.

Twiddling thumbs on a Friday night, the YouTube overlords must have figured releasing this cavalcade of views—35 million, to be precise—on a day when people are more likely to be out trying to relive their glory days (or at least binge-watching cat videos) would not be the brightest strategy. What’s that classic saying about clumsy censorship working its way into the spotlight? Oh yes, the left’s invisible hand at work.

Rogan’s previous stance of avoiding Trump is a delightful plot twist. He once declared he wouldn’t want to help the Trump train. But look at him now—this podcasting unicorn has suddenly become the new underground rebel. It’s the equivalent of your favorite emo band suddenly collaborating with your conservative uncle’s favorite classic rock group, and everyone is confused but oddly entertained. If being “punk rock” in today’s landscape means embracing conservatism, welcome to the new era of rebellion, where the rebels wear MAGA hats instead of leather jackets.

On the other hand, we have Kamala Harris, who is apparently too busy to do the biggest podcast on the planet. Picture this: she’s undoubtedly juggling her schedule like a well-trained circus clown, desperately balancing all those pressing engagements while avoiding any real dialogue with voters that could make a difference. Imagine the uproar if she were to sit down with Rogan—it would likely break the internet. The only thing she’d bring to that interview would probably be a riveting discussion about, well, nothing of substance while she smiled and dodged questions like they were small talk at a holiday party. As Trump deftly quipped, the whole thing would look like a live medical emergency.

Meanwhile, let’s not ignore how Trump managed to acknowledge mistakes without becoming a melodramatic ball of tears about them, unlike our vice president, who appears to have never stumbled even once in her glittering political career. Trump reflected on his blunders in selecting certain advisors, which, compared to Harris saying she’s perfect, is like an Olympic athlete acknowledging a single misstep in an otherwise flawless routine.

At the end of the day, Rogan’s interview exemplifies everything that’s delightfully chaotic about today’s media landscape. Censorship, resurrected careers, and political faux pas all wrapped into a neat little package. Here’s hoping for a sequel with our Vice President—perhaps after a quick round of “let’s talk about our feelings”? But for now, the new age of political engagement is upon us, turning podcasts into platforms and reclaiming the phrase “open dialogue” from the clutches of the same old scripted talking points. Now, that’s a program everyone can tune into.
