A recent episode of the PBD Podcast featuring former President Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba experienced bizarre glitches during the show’s livestream on YouTube, prompting speculation of election meddling by the Big Tech platform.
Show host Patrick Bet-David’s team attempted to alert YouTube of the issue via X, asking why they were noticing strange drops of viewer counts throughout the interview, which they had never witnessed before.
“LIVE has dropped multiple times today. It’s dropped from 21k to 11k multiple times within seconds and audience gets kicked off. What’s the issue?” Bet-David said in a post tagging YouTube.
LIVE keeps dropping. @YouTube are you having issues today?
Please update if you are.

PBD later posted a video displaying the show’s analytics, which depicted massive drops in audience numbers at various points throughout the show.

Producers also noted only two and a half minutes of the hour and forty minute-long podcast interview with Habba were initially available to viewers.
Show producers speculated one reason YouTube may have flagged the video could be due to changes made to its title and tags to include Jeffrey Epstein’s name, in accordance with the viral trending topic.
YouTube’s potential censorship of PBD’s episode could be construed as election interference as Habba discussed various topics surrounding the 2024 presidential election and efforts to suppress her client Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner.
PBD says he observed the same issue on Friday:
We’re LIVE on @YouTube and the same thing is happening again on the podcast.
