"Viewers were initially disappointed over the news and wished for Pate to keep his show apolitical. In response, Pate assured everyone that the conversation was primarily about football and there was no political discussion. When the episode premiered, it was discovered that his interview with Trump was only 10 minutes long. From the three-and-a-half-minute mark on, Pate's questions were all about Trump's presidency."
"To be more specific, the video was unlisted. At the time of writing, the video was not visible on Pate's YouTube page, but it could still be accessed if one had a link to the video. Upon clicking the link, the episode can be watched with no issues whatsoever. At the bottom of the video, however, there is text that makes clear the video has unlisted."
Josh Pate announced an upcoming episode of his College Football Show would feature an interview with President Donald Trump. Viewers expressed concern about the show losing its apolitical nature. Pate assured audiences the conversation focused on football with no political discussion. However, the 10-minute episode revealed that from the 3.5-minute mark onward, Pate's questions centered entirely on Trump's presidency. This contradiction sparked significant backlash. Following the scrutiny, Pate unlisted the video from his YouTube channel, making it inaccessible through his channel page but still viewable via direct link. The livestream version remains available.
