00:00:00.000 All right. Tate would be an interesting subject, Richard. I'll let you go with that.

00:00:06.500 Okay. Well, so he's been arrested again. So to give the background on the matter, he went to

00:00:14.280 Romania, according to his own words, because they didn't have laws there, or they at least 0.98

00:00:23.620 didn't enforce them. And which is a kind of odd statement to make. He did. I mean, Tate

00:00:34.360 isn't lying when he said when he boasts about being like, the most relevant human on the

00:00:41.700 planet. Like when he says, I'm the most googled person. And your your nine year old knows who

00:00:49.140 who I am. And your nine year old can't name the vice president of the United States. So

00:00:54.560 the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank or whatever, that all of that is it may be exaggerated

00:00:59.460 slightly. But like, that's actually pretty accurate. Sadly. I actually asked my, my nephews are

00:01:08.380 in their early 20s. And I was actually asking them, I like over like New Year's dinner or

00:01:16.180 something. I was I was kind of curious. And I was like, Have you ever heard of Nick

00:01:20.940 Fuentes? And neither of them had it was just went over their head. They're like, Who's that

00:01:26.200 never heard of in my life? And I was like, Okay, interesting. Then I was like, Do you know

00:01:29.860 who Andrew Tate is? And they were both like, Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's like, Oh, God, this is

00:01:36.160 totally depressing. But so he became extremely relevant with the manosphere, and a kind of

00:01:44.440 combination of a lot of things like there was the manosphere, there was all all of the red pill

00:01:50.220 stuff. And then there was also this, you can become a billionaire by hustling. So very similar

00:01:57.900 to that guy. I don't know. I don't know if I ever knew his name, but you've certainly seen him on

00:02:03.700 YouTube, at least like four or five years ago. He would like do a video of his garage, and there

00:02:09.620 would be like a Maserati or Lamborghini his garage. And he talked about like reading three

00:02:16.160 books a day and how you just hustle your way to multimillionaire status through the internet

00:02:22.700 and blah, blah, blah. Tate, I think, picked up on that as well. I mean, he had these like

00:02:27.660 hustle university or whatever it's called, etc, where he would teach you to do things. And it was

00:02:33.600 all a huge scam. You know, maybe 2% of the people made money doing drop shipping on Amazon or whatever

00:02:42.600 the fuck he was offering them, but everyone else just got fleeced. And there was no obviously like

00:02:50.880 value to what he was offering. And so it was this kind of weird combination. And then they had the man

00:02:58.720 himself. I mean, he can, you know, he's a former kickboxer. He's obviously super in shape, maybe

00:03:05.620 steroid induced, but who knows. And, you know, to be entirely charitable, I mean, there were some funny

00:03:14.100 things about him, like when he would, he made this. I remember this one clip where he was like,

00:03:22.360 he was like, you got to understand. See, I'm a deep thinker. You're playing checkers. I'm playing

00:03:29.240 chess. I'm on a much deeper level here. And so I asked you this question. You have the hottest

00:03:35.600 transsexual on the planet. And then you have the ugliest heterosexual woman. So the woman will look 1.00

00:03:45.140 like Hulk Hogan. She'll literally have a mustache and big muscles. And the transsexual will look like 1.00

00:03:51.740 Megan Fox. And so I ask you, which is gayer? It's just funny. I mean, I have to say, it's just so 0.99

00:04:02.660 ridiculous. That sounds funny. I'm gonna have to Google it. Yeah, there is. I mean, there is. And 0.97

00:04:07.560 it's kind of like Nick Flindes when he's like having sex with women is gay. It's like, it's so 1.00

00:04:14.600 outrageous and kind of like gets at some weird teenage mentality that it it's just funny. I mean,

00:04:23.720 I'll kind of hand him this. But the other aspect of this is there are two more aspects that are worth

00:04:30.900 talking about. The other one is that he is by his own admission, you know, engaging in a sort of sex

00:04:39.800 trafficking. Now, whether it's legal sex trafficking or not, I don't quite know. But like he is creating

00:04:49.640 a harem of women on OnlyFans and, you know, chat rooms and live streams in his house who and he's

00:05:00.260 taking a percentage of them. I mean, it's even if that is legal, like, let's say they all consented to

00:05:06.120 do this. It's extremely disturbing and dubious, and etc. I don't want to go into it. Yeah. But I

00:05:17.140 think it actually probably was illegal. And that's what he's being charged for. And when you're doing

00:05:24.040 that kind of stuff, you kind of do start to question like, what else are you doing? You know,

00:05:30.460 like, when you meet people who are, you know, like, they're, they're, they have a harem of girls 0.52

00:05:39.060 in a, in a house, and they're all doing OnlyFans. Like, you're not jumping to conclusions where you're

00:05:47.280 like, oh, and are they also prostitutes? You know, or, oh, are they also sex slaves? Or, oh, are you also 0.99

00:05:55.980 beating them for pleasure? Like, those, you're not like, jumping to conclusions by asking those

00:06:02.640 questions when someone is doing that? You know, I don't need to say more. So anyway, there's the

00:06:10.920 other aspect of he just became this god on the alt-right, and all of these alt-right people made

00:06:15.740 pilgrimages. I mean, like, I hate to even say it, because I don't have any, like, animosity towards

00:06:21.720 him. But like, you know, like, Michaela Peterson visited Andrew Tate. You know, like, I'm sorry,

00:06:29.460 what happened when you visited Andrew Tate? You know, maybe he didn't have sex with you. I don't

00:06:35.580 know. What else? I mean, like, they're just these questions that are raised by this. And I even saw

00:06:42.340 all of these guys, even, even some of these red pill guys that I knew at some point, like,

00:06:47.680 Dennis Mangan, who I remember wrote for alternativeright.com. I mean, I remember him

00:06:52.600 coming out in favor of Andrew Tate. And he was like, well, I talked to Andrew Tate. And I don't

00:06:58.320 know if he ever visited him in Romania. But like, you know, he seems like a great guy. And, you know,

00:07:03.340 I can't imagine he did this. And all this just, you know, nonsensical defense of Andrew. He's a

00:07:09.860 great guy, you know, whatever, you know, you know, yeah, lots of criminals are like really fun to be

00:07:14.780 like, most criminals are probably like kind of fun to talk to, or whatever. Like, it's a totally

00:07:23.400 irrelevant defense. But anyway, I just the connection between all of the right wing, and even like

00:07:32.740 mainstream media, and Andrew Tate is incredible, like Candace Owens, PJW, or Paul Joseph Watson,

00:07:43.260 et cetera, they all visited Andrew Tate. It's like he was this node for about two years there.

00:07:49.640 What is going on here?

00:07:51.080 It's true.

00:07:52.060 The other aspect of what is going on here? So I saw, I'll post this video in the chat or

00:07:58.780 something. So I found it last night. There is this guy in YouTube, I don't think I've subscribed

00:08:04.220 to him, but I've watched a few of his videos. And I think the name of his channel is What Do You

00:08:11.520 Meme? And he's this black American guy. He's very laid back. And he's actually a sincere

00:08:17.980 Protestant. And he does kind of like discussions of internet culture. I don't even know how I came

00:08:25.300 across him. It must have just been the algorithm or something. But, you know, the guy, the guy's

00:08:32.320 cool. Like, he's fine. He is a sincere Protestant believer who talks about culture and stuff like

00:08:40.700 this. And he did this, he did this video. And I saw, I saw a video about Andrew Tate. And I watched

00:08:46.640 it, you know, and I was, you know, relaxing or whatever. And he got it something that I found

00:08:51.440 kind of fascinating because he basically, so he is a sincere Christian. And he was saying that,

00:08:57.420 like, what do we make of all of these, these influencers going over to Christianity? So

00:09:03.380 like 10 years ago, Dave Rubin was an atheist and now he's Christian or Christian sympathetic.

00:09:11.440 Andrew Tate also did atheist stuff and just called, you know, if you're a Christian,

00:09:18.200 you're weak minded and whatever. This was all 10 years ago. And all of this, and he had

00:09:23.600 evidence, he had videos of them talking this way. And they've all just kind of like come over to

00:09:29.140 Christianity. And actually this guy who's sincere was, was kind of like, is this a good thing?

00:09:35.740 Because they're making really bad arguments for the faith basically. And is, is, is becoming a 0.97

00:09:44.620 Christian now this kind of like way to own the libs effectively? And is that actually bad? Because 0.90

00:09:51.700 from his standpoint, like you don't become a Christian because it's like badass or whatever,

00:09:59.200 like you become a Christian because you're going to hell otherwise. And Jesus has sacrificed himself

00:10:06.220 for your sins. Like, that's why you're a Christian. And there's really, there, there may be other

00:10:11.420 reasons, but that's the sine qua non of why you're a Christian. And if you're a Christian for another 0.66

00:10:16.880 reason, you should maybe question, you know, you should be questioned. So he's basically saying these

00:10:22.800 guys are making terrible arguments, but isn't it interesting? So I saw that and I, and I, there's

00:10:29.020 this trajectory of atheism to Christianity and you see this Nico, there was some other guy that got in a

00:10:36.440 Twitter battle. I didn't even respond to him, but he got into a Twitter battle with, uh, our, our buddy.

00:10:43.040 Um, uh, um, uh, Oh gosh, why am I forgetting his name at the moment? He was on the show, uh,

00:10:49.380 Adam green. And, uh, he got into a Twitter battle with, with us. And this guy claims to be a Christian,

00:10:57.560 but he also claims to like be fucking a hundred chicks a day or something. Like he's this weird 0.99

00:11:04.280 character, like an Andrew Tate acolyte or Andrew Tate light. And they've all adopted all this stuff.

00:11:12.000 And they, they've also adopted a kind of QAnon, like the world is satanic. Like this was Andrew

00:11:17.460 Tate's justification for God. He, it was a bizarre nonsensical one, which is like, there's so much,

00:11:23.840 the devil clearly exists because we see, you know, Hollywood and transsexuals or whatever. So the devil 1.00

00:11:30.520 clearly exists and thus God must exist. And thus I'm a Muslim. I mean, total nonsense, but I don't 1.00

00:11:38.520 know. Um, and isn't it interesting that all of these people become Christians like that, that's 0.99

00:11:46.060 kind of like the end point of the right-wing grip, like, and, and Tate himself who has some connection,

00:11:54.860 maybe it's just a selfie connection, but photographic connection, but some connection

00:11:59.840 with Saudis is promoting Islam while he is, you know, engaging with teenage boys on Tik TOK in the

00:12:11.100 most, you know, low hanging fruit, common denominator way. Like he's just basically talking about,

00:12:17.360 you know, women are bitches. You want to get laid, go fuck them, treat them like shit, get a big car. 1.00

00:12:23.120 Like he's, he's, he's engaging in this like teenage fantasy nightmare, you know, way. And then he's 1.00

00:12:31.220 also kind of slipping in Islam on the side, like, oh, and by the way, you know, Islam's bad-ass and, 0.87

00:12:38.260 and he's sympathetic towards Christianity. It's just not like hard enough or something. And isn't it

00:12:44.620 interesting that these characters are all like promoting that? Isn't it also interesting that

00:12:51.580 the foundation of the alt-right as it emerged was, was Trump, you know, to a primary degree, but,

00:12:59.480 but was also the refugee crisis in Europe of these, and, and, and a sexualized version of the refugee

00:13:06.740 crisis. So he's like, all these young men are crossing borders and they're raping white women, 0.99

00:13:12.580 you know, like Cologne, Germany and, and, you know, new year's Eve of 2016. They're, they're, 0.97

00:13:19.400 they're just gang raping women in public and whatever. And isn't it interesting that like, 0.99

00:13:27.880 that was such a primary and remains just such a primary motivation for the right. And yet their

00:13:35.020 hero becomes a Muslim sex trafficking gang rapist. Isn't that curious? What do we make of that? I 1.00

00:13:45.500 don't know. But anyway, these are my thoughts on Tate. I don't know if you guys want to jump in on

00:13:51.460 that.
