‘Experience The Evil Truth Yourself’: Jordan Peterson Tweets Full Video Banned By YouTube For ‘Hate Speech’

DailyWire+ contributor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson revealed on Saturday that YouTube had removed a video — in which he and author Helen Joyce discuss gender ideology — for allegedly violating the platform’s “hate speech policy.”

In a tweet posted early Saturday, Peterson shared the message he received from YouTube informing him that a video titled “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality” was removed due to an alleged “violation”: “Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy. … We know that this might be disappointing, but it’s important to us that YouTube is a safe place for all.”

Under the “How your content violated the policy” section, YouTube stated in part: “Content glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people is not allowed on YouTube. We also don’t allow any content that encourages hatred of another person or group of people based on their membership in a protected group.”

Tagging YouTube, Peterson responded on Twitter: “I have now officially been accused of hate speech by YouTube, Let’s be clear about this: that is a direct accusation [of] conduct deemed criminal in many jurisdictions. This is absolutely not OK, @YouTube. Not OK.”

“I am also accused as you can all see of ‘inciting violence,'” Peterson continued in the thread. “To say I am tired of being accused in this manner by narcissistic authoritarians is to say almost nothing.”

Later on Saturday, Twitter owner Elon Musk suggested that Peterson upload the banned video to Twitter — a suggestion the renowned clinical psychologist followed.

In the tweet containing the video, Peterson added a YouTube-mocking challenge to viewers. “Experience the evil truth yourself,” wrote Peterson.

Within two hours, the post had already racked up more than 675,000 views and 6,800 likes.

YouTube’s censorship of Dr. Peterson comes on the heels of The Daily Wire moving all of host Matt Walsh’s daily show episodes to the platform after YouTube demonetized him over his content taking on gender ideology. On May 30, The Daily Wire began streaming all of its top-ranked hosts’ podcasts for free on the platform.

Citing Musk’s commitment to protecting free speech, Walsh and The Daily Wire screened the groundbreaking documentary “What Is A Woman?” for free on Twitter on June 1, the one-year anniversary of the film’s initial release and the first day of Pride Month. The tweet of the 90-minute film, which features Walsh asking tough questions underlying the gender ideology movement, has amassed more than 180 million views.

Trump Vows To Stay In Race Even If Convicted Of Crimes: ‘I’ll Never Leave’

Former President Donald Trump vowed over the weekend that he will “never” drop out of the 2024 presidential race even if he is convicted on any of the criminal charges that he faces in multiple investigations.

Trump’s remarks come after a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned a 49-page indictment against the former president, charging him with 37 criminal counts, with 31 of those being the willful retention of national defense information. Other counts include conspiracy to obstruct justice, corruptly concealing documents or records, and making false statements.

“I’ll never leave,” Trump told POLITICO in an interview. “Look, if I would have left, I would have left prior to the original race in 2016. That was a rough one. In theory that was not doable.”

Trump said that he believes he will not be convicted and does not plan on taking a plea deal, but seemed to believe that he might get a deal “where they pay me some damages.”

No trial date has been set, but the case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump appointed to the Southern District of Florida bench in 2020. Trump is scheduled to appear before Cannon on Tuesday.

Special Counsel Jack Smith said during a press conference on Friday that the former president will get “a speedy trial on this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.”

Even with a speedy trial, Trump’s unprecedented legal challenges are sure to affect his bid for another term in the White House. He also faces a trial in New York, where the Manhattan district attorney has secured an indictment against him for allegedly falsifying business records. He also faces a separate federal criminal investigation from Smith over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and he faces a criminal investigation in Georgia over the same matter.
