YouTube recently censored Glenn Beck's newsmaking interview with British independent journalist Tommy Robinson about the UK riots. Media outlets and officials in Great Britain and the European Union have claimed that Robinson's rhetoric instigated the violent riots, but he called for NONVIOLENCE in his interview with Glenn: "They're saying it's Tommy Robinson [calling for violence]. Whereas the truth, if you watch my videos, is the total opposite." So, why would YouTube censor the video and declare it "inappropriate or offensive to some audiences"? Is the company bowing to a global censorship regime? Glenn asks these questions and also highlights some content that YouTube HASN'T censored, including a video of Kamala Harris saying that BLM "should not" "let up" as they were burning cities and attacking police officers.

GLENN: YouTube has taken away some of our -- some of our freedoms on YouTube. Why? Well, because we have -- we dared to have a news maker on.

We dared have Tommy Robinson on. What was it, last week?

Week after.

Now, he's the guy that the English are saying, is responsible for it.

I interviewed him.

I asked him about violence. He said, he was absolutely against violence. And there wasn't one thing in this eight minute interview. There's not one single thing that he said about violence.

Except, to say, he's not for it. In fact, let me -- could we please play the Tommy Robinson clip here.

You are not -- you're not calling for the rioting and burning of buildings and bricks through windows. Correct?

TOMMY: Glenn, if you just -- I put a media together. The media, the politicians can be building a narrative, and they're everywhere. The boy -- so I thought -- if you look, it's my latest tweet on Twitter. I made a video. And I've (inaudible) that said, do not be violent. You're a moron if you're violent. Put the bricks down. You're ruining everything.

I have appealed for calm, peace, and love from the start. But the truth of the matter, the truth of the matter, because my name is banned from Facebook and Instagram and TikTok. So they can tell the public whatever they want, and they're currently saying that I am indeed violent. So you're looking at the bias. Right now, on British TV, on every chapter, everywhere, they're saying it's violence.

Whereas the truth, if you watch my videos is the total opposite.

GLENN: Jeez. Huh!

So that's the only time we talked about anything violent, and he was against it. But YouTube is taking now their marching orders from the European Union. This is something, we warned you would happen.

We now all have to comply by Europe's standards.

So if Europe puts this woke bullcrap in, these public private partnerships will say, well, yeah.

We have to do it for Europe. Otherwise, we won't be able to compete. So, you know, they'll kick us out of Europe.

Good. Kick us out of Europe! Kick them out of Europe! That's fine!

This is not an American first attitude, because we're better than everybody else. You don't break our Constitution. You don't go against the things that set America and the rest of the world free, for the first time, in human history.

We have certain standards here. Don't we?

Or maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. And I can't figure out the standards, at all.

Of -- of YouTube. Because this is -- this is the note we got.

YouTube doesn't allow hate speech. Tell me what the hate speech was there. Tell me what the hate speech was.

Or content that provides or promotes or incites violence.

Okay?

Tell me, tell me how we promoted or incited violence.

Can't do that. And in some cases, content that is potentially controversial, or offensive.

It may remain up, but with some features disabled. That's exactly what this is.

It's -- it's remained up. But you can't share it. You have to go through a maze to get to it.

And the features are disabled.

You can't read any comments.

You can't make any comments.

Your videos are still live on YouTube, but some features have been disabled.

Meaning, the Watch page will no longer have comments, suggested videos, or likes.

So you can't share anything. This is -- you know what this is? This is a digital ghetto! And I know I've got a lot of heat from social media, when I first talked about a digital ghetto. I said, that's what they're building.

You can talk all you want. Talk all you want! You Jews!

You just have to do it behind this wall. You can say whatever you want. Oh, but nobody will see us, because there's a wall between us?

It's a digital ghetto!

YouTube. Telling the truth, is not inciting violence. Telling the truth is not controversial, and if it's offensive, get over it! Since when, in this country, can we not talk to a news maker? What was hateful about this? What part incited violence? Oh, I know it's controversial. But with whom?

The elites. I'm going to show this Wednesday night, this is what the whole special is about.

This is going around the Constitution because public/private partnerships are in bed with our governments. The -- and we're very careful. We are very careful, on what we put on YouTube.

Because we know that X, and the Blaze, are the only true free platforms, that we don't have to worry about.

Two. Two platforms, that we don't have to worry about!

X and the Blaze. My gosh.

I got this on Friday, right after the show. And I was livid. Livid.

How dare you!

This is a news maker, on a news making show.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

That's controversial. He said fight, fight, fight. You know what he meant by that. He meant burn down Minneapolis. No, they already did that.

May I just show you some other things that have not had any problems on YouTube. And are still live and are still there?

You know the -- the home secretary of the UK, is now saying, that they -- they have to look at ideological trends, and what they need to do is hold people's views about women.

It's not okay anymore to ignore the massive, growing threat, caused by online hatred towards women.

What online hatred towards women is there?

Come on. Think this through. Well, if you're talking about the UK, I would say it's about 60 percent of London now. What is it?

58 percent Islamist.

They don't seem to like women an awful lot. They don't seem to give the rights to women.

Is that who you're talking about England? Or are you talking about the extreme right-wing?

Oh, you know what, it's -- this is it. It's not the Islamist that you're worried about. It's all of those people that say, these men can beat up women in a boxing ring.

Right? The one that says, your daughter has to compete against men in sports, or the one that says, hey! You, as a guy, you can become a woman, and become anything.

You go, girl. Even though, you're a man. That must be the hate. The ones that hate women, right?

The ones that have taken all the rights that women have worked so hard for, and flushing them down the toilet. That has to be the women's rights that you're talking about.

Or is it the extreme right-wing?

Now, when you listen, I think you can spot. I mean, it kind of -- inciting violence. You kind of know what it is, when you hear it. Tommy Robinson saying, no. You're destroying everything we're trying to do, by picking up a brick or having violence.

Yeah. I kind of understand that. Because if it wasn't the FBI or the CIA or whoever, that orchestrated January 6, if it was really just a bunch of right-wing people, which I highly doubt.

Thanks a lot. You've destroyed everything. So I understand that, what Tommy is saying. But let's listen to some other things that are not inciting violence or controversial, that are still on YouTube with all of their privileges.

Cut five.

VOICE: Some of the success that we've been able to achieve around criminal justice reform, would not have happened in recent years were it not for Black Lives Matter. And the intensity and the brilliance of that movement, that forced at least that -- that there would be some counterforce to the status quo, which is so reluctant for change, if not hostile to change. That's what these movements do. They're not going to stop. They're not going to stop. And they're not -- this is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not going to stop. And everyone, be aware, because they're not going to stop. They're not going to stop before Election Day November. And they're not going to stop after election take. And everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't -- they're not going to let up, and they should not. And we should not.

GLENN: And they should not. And they should not, said Kamala Harris. And they should not. That's in the midst of the rioting in the streets. YouTube says that's fine.
