The Full Send Podcast's full video interview of former president Trump has been removedfrom YouTube for violating the platform's community guidelines on misinformation. While the interview touched upon a wide range of topics, it seems that Trump's continued lies about the 2020 presidential election resulted in the takedown of the video.

"We removed this video for violating our election integrity policy, which prohibits content containing false claims that widespread fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election," said a YouTube spokesperson in a statement provided to Mashable. "We allow content with sufficient educational, documentary, scientific or artistic context, which the video we removed did not provide."
Shortly after the video was taken down, Trump put out a statement comparing the YouTube video takedown to Russia's censorship of its war in Ukraine.
"Whatever happened to free speech in our Country?," reads Trump's statement, later acknowledging the issue YouTube had was with his discussion of what he called the "Rigged 2020 Presidential Election." (Note: The election was not rigged. President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.)
"Incredibly, but not surprisingly, the Big Tech lunatics have taken down my interview with the very popular NELK Boys so that nobody can watch it or in any way listen to it," Trump continued. "In Russia, the people are not allowed to know that they’re fighting a war with Ukraine, that’s where our media is going, and that’s where our Country is going because it quickly follows—just study history."
The Trump interview was hosted by the popular YouTubers known as the NELK Boys. The group is known for their viral prank videos and have over 7.2 million subscribers on their main YouTube channel. The NELK Boys also have a video podcast channel called the Full Send Podcast.

While the channel is usually known for its interviews with celebrities, online influencers, and UFC stars, the Full Send Podcastfound itself getting extra political with its Trump interview.
According to host Kyle Forgeard, the Trump interview had receivedmore than 5 million views within 24 hours before YouTube pulled the video.
Following the removal of the video, Trump supporters encouraged the NELK Boys to upload the full interview to the conservative alternative platform, Rumble. However, it seems those requests have been denied. The YouTubers are now hosting the full interview on its Full Send website, hosted by the video service Vimeo.
