Well...It's official. At some point in the last day or 2 YouTube shut down James Yeager's channel.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJimfyIOFM3Yaot_V8bFLPQ
Did you watch Yeager's Facebook video? He made some cryptic references to a podcast video he posted on his YouTube account. You can go to his Facebook account and ask him . . . by posting your question there . . . or by messaging him through Facebook.
As I already posted, I've got no dog in his fight and not any enough interest in what he did to get banned to pursue the details. Perhaps someone else knows.

The easy and knee-jerk response to seeing "one of ours" get a channel banned is to blame corruption, agenda, etc etc. Four outta five times, the removals are legit and based on actual content violations. James probably wants to hype it up as an agenda-based ban, or perhaps he'll be honest about it, who knows, I don't watch him much these days.
But just throwing my two-cents out there as someone that follows social media/YouTube-related bans closely.
James Yeager owns Tactical Response (which I just happened to remember from some time ago). Here is their contact page where those who eschew Facebook can inquire about what happened. The site has a blog and he may eventually put something about it in the blog there (emphasis on "may"). Based on the Facebook video, I don't believe he actually knows yet what it was in his podcast that got him booted from YouTube beyond the "it was remark(s) Mookie made" speculation by others who saw the podcast. That said, I predict any more information will show up first on Yeager's Facebook page as it's easier and faster to post it there. Didn't see the podcast and have no idea who "Mookie" is. Others can dig around for that if they want to.I do not have a fb account or even visit that website.

Everything I saw in the comments below the Facebook video (on his Facebook page) was speculation it's something someone named "Mookie" said in the podcast interview Yeager posted on YouTube.
I share your observation. Permanent account shutdowns are invariably for actual and specific video content that violates content rules. Unless it's particularly egregious, it's usually after they've been warned about the same or similar content violation(s) in the past.

Maybe that's true on some platforms, but I've seen Twitter users get banned without explanation or a history of problems: Veteran Journalist and Terror Expert, Removed from Twitter

Thanks jal. So basically he uploaded a podcast to his youtube site on in that video he was interviewing someone that said bad things??? Those bad things neing whatever youtube terms of service says no to. And that in turn got him banned. Is that correct?
As for fb. I dont even like on any www.fb.... links period.
At work fb is blocked and in talking to hr unofficially its best to avoid fb all together. Dont post, dont have an account, dont even visit the site as an unregistered guest at any time of the day.
Yeager's current best guess: it's something that was in his podcast that he uploaded to YouTube which was an interview -- or dialog -- with several people. Those that did hear it are speculating it's something someone called "Mookie" said. It's all murky with supposition and speculation from those that watched it before it went dark. AFAIK, Yeager hasn't had an official response from YouTube on the specifics (IMHO they owe him that). As I mentioned before, I've got no dog in this fight so I'm not going to deliberately pursue more on it.
YouTube shuts down channels or accounts based on specific content in specific videos. If there's an error made by someone pulling the plug on an account when they shouldn't have, they come back up quickly (if the account owner pursues it with YouTube).

James Yeager just got shut down. Give me a list of any channels you believe are in trouble. I can rip all the videos on youtube-dl to an external hard drive. Let's take action to help the content creators and start a new site somewhere else.
Full 30 is already in place and a lot of the gun guys have been co-posting there.
