(Liberty Bell) – Last weekend, President Trump gave a speech on Sunday at CPAC. It was his first public speaking event since Jan. 6 and it was wildly popular. He raked in over 30 million streaming views across numerous platforms.
CNN reported that 5.8 million viewers tuned in to watch on Fox News while another 1.5 million watched on Newsmax. Trump’s speech was the most watched cable TV event during the month of February and even beat out the Golden Globes that aired later that day and was watched by 6.9 million viewers.
On Monday, the Gateway Pundit reported Trump’s viewership on various YouTube channels, “Right Side Broadcasting 3.7 million; The Independent 1,000,000; The Hill 906,000; Reuters: 902,000; News Now 818,000; ABC Australia 352,000; SKY News 222,000; ABC News 208,000;FOX 35 Orlando 50,000.”
Naturally, since the speech, YouTube has removed it from their platform. Surely, nobody is surprised by this.
Right Side Broadcasting revealed on Thursday that YouTube has deleted their exclusive video of the speech which had nearly 4 million views. YouTube didn’t stop there, however. The Big Tech authoritarian also issued RSB a two-week suspension for airing the speech live.
During the speech, President Trump reiterated the fact that the election was stolen and that he rightfully won. This is a belief that tens of millions of fellow Americans believe yet it’s now prohibited speech.

We’re not allowed to, under any circumstances, discuss the obvious widespread election fraud that took place during the 2020 election.
YouTube took the video of Trump’s speech down anywhere it was posted including from other outlets like the UK Independent, which had over 1 million views, as well as Fox, Fox Business, ABC News and the UK Sun.

What were the odds that the results of the 2024 #CPAC2021 presidential straw poll delivered just before Trump's speech were going to show anyone else as the favorite? https://t.co/eqhdiFxriC

This sort of manipulation and interference only shows how much weight these monopolies put on the scale of freedom. It’s never going to end until we all band together to stop it. https://t.co/ZepWvWhPLY

So much for freedom of speech.
In RSBN’s announcement of their suspension on Thursday, they noted that they foretold the removal of the video by YouTube and wanted to make sure viewers knew it was not their doing and that they would never censor Trump.
“President Trump talked about election fraud. That’s a big no-no on some platforms we stream to. We try to play by the rules, but we will not censor President Trump. We’re not going to remove or edit this video. Just so we’re all clear- if it gets removed, we didn’t do it.”
Update: YouTube removed the CPAC Trump speech and suspended us for two weeks. https://t.co/nyh2vCOHVJ

NEW: RSBN has been suspended from YouTube for two weeks because of the Trump #CPAC2021 speech, which violated their guidelines on election misinformation.
The video was approaching 4 million views. They have also removed it from their platform.

RSBN also noted that YouTube would have allowed the speech to stay up had they provided “countervailing viewpoints” and essentially called Trump a liar. They made it clear, however, that they agree with the things President Trump said during the speech.
Even if we believed that, we wouldn’t sell out like that and say it just to keep a video up.
We try to follow the rules. Don’t air certain things that we normally would—but we won’t censor President Trump or push back against things he says that, quite frankly, we agree with.

Can confirm that even some of the major networks had their video of Trump’s speech removed, though it is not clear if they also received a two week suspension and/or strike on their accounts like we did.
Doubt it. https://t.co/2k8qn7JJCo

Big Tech is never going to quit their blatant censorship of political opponents. Now that China has officially installed their globalist puppet Joe Biden, we can only expect to see more and more CCP-style censorship and tactics.
