Matt Walsh Reveals YouTube Demonetized Him – And How He’s Fighting Back

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said Wednesday that YouTube temporarily demonetized his channel for talking truthfully about trans activist Dylan Mulvaney — but then revealed how he will be fighting back.

Walsh, speaking at the University of Iowa on the topic of transgenderism, announced that his full show would now be available for free on DailyWire+ and on Twitter. Unlike YouTube, neither The Daily Wire nor Twitter will demand that Walsh kowtow to leftism.

“If I simply respect the preferred pronouns and stop accurately gendering people, then I can likely continue to do my show on the platform, get it remonetized after a short probationary period, and continue making over $100,000 a month on YouTube ads,” Walsh said.

“In other words, all I have to do to keep the money and the platform is give up my integrity and my soul,” he added. “And to that I say: hell no. No way.”

Walsh’s YouTube channel will still publish select content for his 2.3 million subscribers, but the full show will only be available on platforms that allow him to speak the truth unabridged. He described the decision to pull the full show from the platform as easy.

“I will not give my show to YouTube if it means I have to cooperate with and affirm the very ideology that I’ve been battling all this time,” he added.

Jeremy Boreing, co-CEO of The Daily Wire, revealed Wednesday that there was an onslaught of cancellation campaigns targeting Walsh, as well as his fellow Daily Wire hosts Brett Cooper and Michael Knowles. This week, Knowles was evacuated from the University of Pittsburgh due to violent protesters who showed up during his speech, and Cooper was permanently banned from TikTok.

Boreing called out tech giants YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok for “capricious” fact-checks, demonetizations, and bans against the Daily Wire hosts. He also revealed that software companies HubSpot and JW Player have abruptly canceled service with his company from their platforms, as event management site Eventbrite did previously.

Boreing, like Walsh, promised that he won’t give in to the Left’s demands.

“YouTube wants to keep Matt Walsh from being able to monetize because they know it will drastically stunt his growth and make his content far less viral. They expect us to throw a fit and play right into their hands. We won’t,” he said.

‘This Is Why The Libs Had To Lie’: Michael Knowles Breaks Down The Reason A Real Trans Debate Won’t Happen

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles explained on Wednesday why it was that a real and honest debate about transgenderism couldn’t happen — and why those supporting it continued to lie and distort his words.

Knowles, fresh off an appearance at University of Pittsburgh that ended in a “public safety emergency,” joined podcast host Tim Pool (@timcast) to discuss the situation and why honest debate wasn’t happening.

“There is no such ontological category as transgender people,” Knowles said. “There are people who are confused about their sex, but there is no such thing as a man who is secretly a woman. That’s a false anthropology.”

“This is why the libs had to lie about what I said and change my words and throw explosives at me and burn me in effigy,” he continued. “Because they have no answer to that, because we all know that that’s true. We all know that these men are not actually women.”

Knowles, who was initially scheduled to debate trans-identifying professor Deirdre McCloskey, debated Brad Polumbo instead when McCloskey dropped out just days before the event. He argued that the professor had backed out because there was no intelligent defense against reality.

“It’s a shame because what this event was supposed to be was Michael Knowles debating someone who is transgender,” said event volunteer Logan Dubil. “I was actually really excited for both sides to have a platform. Now this professor dropped out. It’s two conservatives debating, which I think is why people are a little bit more riled up.”

By the time all was said and done, protesters had thrown incendiary devices and burned an effigy bearing Knowles’ face — and Knowles reflected on the event while talking to Pool. He explained that he had found the whole situation funny, noting that he had no real cause to worry: “We take security very seriously.”
