Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 840 ｜ A Biblical Response to Andrew Tate

00:00:00.000 Andrew Tate, who is this wildly influential figure?

00:00:05.720 Why is everyone talking about him?

00:00:07.920 What is the truth about him?

00:00:09.120 Is he a victimizer of women or is he a victim himself of the matrix, of the mainstream media,

00:00:17.160 of the progressive elite zeitgeist?

00:00:21.060 Should conservatives be defending him?

00:00:23.960 Should we take the true things that he says to heart?

00:00:27.580 What is really going on beneath the surface?

00:00:30.860 That's what we're going to get into today.

00:00:33.080 We'll also look at the Romanian charges, the things that he has actually said about himself,

00:00:37.460 and what I think is the biblical response to someone like Andrew Tate, who has appealed

00:00:43.600 to a very large number of young people.

00:00:46.760 We'll get into all of that and more today.

00:00:57.580 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:01:06.240 Happy Tuesday.

00:01:07.180 Hope everyone's having a wonderful week so far.

00:01:09.900 Okay, yesterday at the top of the episode, I said I was going to talk about two different

00:01:13.260 things, the false dangerous messages I think men are receiving from the likes of people

00:01:18.200 like Andrew Tate, and then the false toxic messages that I think women are receiving. 1.00

00:01:23.660 But this, in our research, has turned into mostly just an Andrew Tate episode.

00:01:30.700 It's not because I don't have a whole lot to say to women and about women.

00:01:34.540 I have a lot more to say about that, actually.

00:01:36.820 It's why I wrote my book, You're Not Enough, and That's Okay.

00:01:39.620 It's about the toxic message that I think women receive and so thoughtlessly sometimes 1.00

00:01:44.600 imbibe that actually destroy us, destroy our relationships and all that. 1.00

00:01:48.340 So I have so much to say about that, but we just don't have time.

00:01:52.000 Like, we don't have time to do both, and I can't give justice to that.

00:01:56.440 So maybe we'll do that tomorrow, or maybe we'll do that on Thursday.

00:02:00.460 Just kind of depends on how everything we have scheduled shakes out and what else happens

00:02:04.400 this week.

00:02:05.220 I will do some kind of part two that specifically addresses the toxic messages that women receive. 1.00

00:02:10.660 But because so many of you really have no idea who Andrew Tate is, or you didn't know who

00:02:16.040 Andrew Tate was until you saw the interview with Tucker Carlson, I wanted to kind of shed

00:02:21.920 some light on that because I didn't really know who he was either until, I don't know,

00:02:26.900 maybe a year ago, I started seeing conflicting ideas about who he was, even on the right.

00:02:32.120 I saw some people on the right say, oh, Andrew Tate is just a victim of big tech censorship.

00:02:37.100 He's a victim of, you know, progressive propaganda, and he's saying things that are true.

00:02:42.860 They're trying to stifle his voice because he is an advocate for masculinity and responsibility

00:02:49.980 and individualism and hard work and all of these things. 1.00

00:02:52.800 And then I saw other people on the right saying, no, this guy is a scumbag. 1.00

00:02:56.300 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:02:57.740 And I really didn't know.

00:02:59.100 I didn't know what the debate was.

00:03:00.520 And so if you are like I was about a year ago, totally unfamiliar with who Andrew Tate

00:03:06.840 is, maybe you've seen some of his videos go around.

00:03:09.800 They regularly go viral on Instagram, Twitter, et cetera.

00:03:13.820 I think even some people repost his stuff on TikTok.

00:03:18.060 And you're thinking, OK, he says some things that are legit.

00:03:21.000 He says some things that a lot of people are scared to say that are true.

00:03:24.560 And then maybe you saw the Tucker Carlson interview and you said, wow, the Matrix or the left or

00:03:32.060 the globalist elites, whatever you want to say, they're really trying to go after this

00:03:36.200 guy.

00:03:36.800 Maybe you feel like with false allegations because they're just trying to silence them and make

00:03:42.180 men weak and prevent people from thinking for themselves and providing for themselves.

00:03:48.600 I want to shed some light on who Andrew Tate is.

00:03:52.200 And I don't know everything.

00:03:53.760 He has a very large digital footprint.

00:03:55.960 But I'm going to tell you who he is, the kind of messages he's conveying, why I believe

00:04:00.820 he has become so incredibly popular with young men because he has.

00:04:04.900 And we'll look at some of the data on that and some of the charges that he's facing, some

00:04:09.820 of the things that he said and why I don't believe that Christians, professing Christians 1.00

00:04:15.360 should have any part whatsoever in elevating Andrew Tate in anything that he has said.

00:04:20.340 Now, some of you might be thinking, well, yeah, duh, obviously we shouldn't do that. 0.97

00:04:25.140 The guy is completely depraved. 0.92

00:04:27.400 But you would be surprised at how many Christians don't realize some of the things that he has 0.97

00:04:33.620 done, some of the things that he has confessed to, what he actually represents, the moral

00:04:39.560 rot that I think that he really symbolizes and demonstrates.

00:04:43.400 And you will see a lot of professing Christians go to bat for Andrew Tate and the ideology that

00:04:49.520 he espouses.

00:04:51.180 And I'll give you some examples of that.

00:04:53.400 So I just want to give you, as much as I can, an accurate picture of what he is, convey the

00:04:59.600 messages that he has conveyed.

00:05:01.240 But then also try to give you a biblical perspective of just why, at least for the Christian, this

00:05:06.300 is wrong.

00:05:06.620 I can't really speak so much to the secularists out there because, you know, moral relativism

00:05:13.640 is a tenet of secularism.

00:05:15.620 And I can't speak to that.

00:05:17.020 But for those of us who believe in objective truth, those of us who believe in God, that

00:05:21.560 we were created by a supreme and sovereign being, the triune God specifically, that sent his 0.99

00:05:29.040 son Jesus to die for us, if we believe that the word of God is a standard, then we have

00:05:34.840 to compare things that Andrew Tate says and does to the word of God, right?

00:05:39.860 Now, no matter what your religious beliefs are, though, I can guess that you probably will

00:05:47.540 take issue with at least some of the things that Andrew Tate has said and done.

00:05:52.840 And I know, I know, I already know after this episode, I am going to get the comments that

00:05:57.880 I've received over the past few days since I started talking about this, calling me a

00:06:02.060 man hater, calling me a misandrist, saying that even as a Christian conservative, that

00:06:05.940 feminism has infected my mind and I'm a female supremacist and that I'm a closet feminist 0.97

00:06:11.740 and that I just want to, you know, make men weak and emasculate men, all of that absolute 0.96

00:06:17.420 nonsense, because I am not a fan of someone who has something called a pimpin hose degree.

00:06:25.580 I know, I understand that you're going to be upset, you're going to say I'm taking it out

00:06:30.200 of context, you're going to say that I don't really understand, you're going to say that

00:06:34.100 underneath all of this, I just have the same feminist bitterness towards men as women on 0.98

00:06:38.480 the left do, which of course is absolutely absurd, is absolutely absurd.

00:06:44.040 Anyone who has listened to me for any amount of time, anyone who has watched me, anyone

00:06:47.920 who started following me after I did that viral PragerU video, which was the, it might

00:06:53.360 still be, it's probably in the top five most watched PragerU videos of all time and that

00:06:59.280 says a lot because their videos have routinely get millions and millions of views.

00:07:04.000 It was number one for a while and then I think it got bumped by some other videos, but their

00:07:09.740 five minute videos that they do and it was titled, I think it was make men great again

00:07:15.280 or make masculinity great again, where we talk about the importance of masculinity to 0.98

00:07:21.200 society, that fatherhood, that present fathers, present dads, strong men are central to cohesive,

00:07:27.460 strong societies, that there is something unique, uniquely necessary about kind and strong and

00:07:37.460 responsible masculinity to families, to communities, to societies, to nations, to the world.

00:07:44.640 There is something very powerful about men that women simply don't have. 0.99

00:07:52.160 Femininity is really important.

00:07:53.880 It's really beautiful.

00:07:55.160 The complementary relationship between masculinity and femininity is a necessary dynamic for the 0.99

00:08:02.320 health, again, of any family or community or society.

00:08:05.920 And masculinity in particular has this unique capacity to build up and destroy in a way that

00:08:11.860 I'm not sure that even strong femininity does.

00:08:15.600 And so I love men.

00:08:17.420 I think that men are really necessary.

00:08:19.940 But I am just as against the emasculation of men as I am against or I'm just as against 0.96

00:08:28.600 this kind of what I think is a dumb and destructive form of masculinity that we're about to talk about 0.96

00:08:36.580 today as I am the emasculation and the weakening and the demonization of men. 0.97

00:08:42.660 So that's why we're having this conversation.

00:08:44.680 It's important for Christians to understand the discussions and debates that are being had

00:08:49.740 and to try to approach them as humbly and as biblically as we possibly can.

00:08:53.540 All right, let's get into this.

00:09:07.940 So who is Andrew Tate?

00:09:09.320 Some of you really have no idea, which is OK.

00:09:11.960 Like your life isn't really affected by who Andrew Tate is, except that he does have a lot

00:09:21.140 of influence.

00:09:21.800 He has a lot of influence, particularly over teenage boys.

00:09:24.600 So if you have sons or you have daughters, it really doesn't matter. 0.62

00:09:28.220 I mean, they're going to be interacting with each other.

00:09:30.360 Like you should understand who Andrew Tate is as a response to the secular feminism that

00:09:35.920 you and I do oppose.

00:09:39.520 We also need to see that the flip side of it or that the polar opposite of it, perhaps,

00:09:44.520 if you could even call it that, the foil to that is not necessarily better.

00:09:49.500 So Andrew Tate, he was the most Googled man in the world in 2022.

00:09:54.340 He is a former professional kickboxer who began posting advice to young men online about

00:09:59.980 10 years ago.

00:10:01.180 Apparently, one of his main messages is this.

00:10:05.080 Men want respect most of all.

00:10:08.020 And in order to get it, they must be worthy of it.

00:10:11.360 A decent mantra, right?

00:10:12.800 He was apparently raised a Christian.

00:10:16.180 He has since very recently converted to Islam and has also celebrated the Islamification of

00:10:23.420 places like London in the West.

00:10:26.720 He operated something called Hustlers University.

00:10:29.260 It was a platform where members paid $49.99 a month, that's the membership fee, to receive

00:10:35.140 instruction on ways to make money outside of traditional employment, such as cryptocurrency,

00:10:39.640 copywriting, e-commerce.

00:10:42.280 Tate became highly prominent in 2022 by encouraging members of Hustlers University to post large

00:10:48.300 numbers of videos of him to social media platforms in an effort to maximize engagement,

00:10:54.380 his engagement, their own engagement.

00:10:56.360 As of August 2022, its website had amassed over 100,000 subscribers that same month.

00:11:03.500 The Irish American Financial Services, called Stripe, pulled out of processing subscriptions

00:11:07.700 for the platform, and Hustlers University had to shut down its affiliate marketing program.

00:11:12.840 So, of course, a lot of people saw this as victimization of Andrew Tate and the demonization

00:11:18.700 of his message of responsibility and individualism to men.

00:11:22.340 Hustlers University was accused by many of being a pyramid scheme.

00:11:28.680 Tate launched a rebranded version of the program called The Real World in October 2022.

00:11:33.640 So, quick turnaround there.

00:11:35.320 Tate also operates a private network called The War Room, which is advertised as a, quote,

00:11:40.600 global network in which exemplars of individualism work to free the modern man from socially induced

00:11:46.940 incarceration.

00:11:47.940 So, the idea there is that men have basically, they've been degraded, they have been disrespected,

00:11:56.840 they have been limited and trapped by society, by a world that now hates their strength and

00:12:06.140 hates their leadership and hates their voice, hates their influence.

00:12:10.860 So, Andrew Tate is someone who has kind of placed himself on the front lines of pushing

00:12:17.840 back against what he calls the socially induced incarceration.

00:12:24.000 According to BuzzFeed, Andrew Tate's now deleted $450 pimp and hose degree.

00:12:29.100 And this is not just BuzzFeed.

00:12:30.460 He said this on tape.

00:12:32.880 It's called The Pimp and Hose Degree PhD. 0.96

00:12:34.700 Video course was first launched on his website in 2018.

00:12:36.980 Then it was later removed in 2022.

00:12:40.200 In it, the influencer, or he offered step-by-step instructions on how to build an Instagram account

00:12:46.280 to contact women and have sex with as many of them as possible. 0.97

00:12:50.020 Or as Tate calls it, how men can go from having no access to women to becoming a player. 0.84

00:12:56.160 According to BuzzFeed News in 2017, Tate removed from, moved from the United Kingdom to Romania.

00:13:02.820 He said, according to Forbes, that it was because he liked, quote, living in countries where corruption

00:13:09.260 is accessible for everybody, rather than just a few people.

00:13:13.940 And then fast forward.

00:13:14.980 I'm going to dig back into some of his past too, but I'm just kind of giving you an overview first.

00:13:19.960 Fast forward to December 2022.

00:13:21.920 Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested in Romania, along with two women.

00:13:26.200 All four were suspected of human trafficking and forming an organized crime group.

00:13:30.960 According to the BBC, Romanian police allege that the group coerced victims into creating

00:13:36.880 paid pornography for social media using various methods, including something called the lover

00:13:43.220 boy method, which we'll get into in a little bit.

00:13:45.880 In March 2023, all four were moved to house arrest while the investigation continued after being

00:13:51.680 held in custody since their arrest.

00:13:54.040 In June, they were charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime

00:13:58.540 group to sexually exploit women.

00:14:01.240 Tate and his brother deny these charges.

00:14:05.200 Let's back up a little bit and understand more about who he is and why he is so popular,

00:14:10.860 how he got so popular.

00:14:13.240 So as I said, he was a kickboxing champion.

00:14:15.680 Then he first came to prominence when he appeared on a reality show called Big Brother in 2016.

00:14:21.980 He came under scrutiny for making, quote unquote, homophobic comments on Twitter.

00:14:27.680 And he said, he said, for example, they are teaching gay issues to seven-year-olds by law.

00:14:33.940 A pure homosexual cannot reproduce, so they need your children for new partners. 1.00

00:14:39.060 Okay. 0.98

00:14:40.340 And then he said apparently some rude things about some celebrities.

00:14:44.880 So you're starting to see why, based on some of the things that he says, why he would be

00:14:51.900 attractive to some conservatives.

00:14:54.860 He was not removed for, like, the rude comments.

00:14:58.720 He was later removed from the show because a national newspaper in the UK was about to publish

00:15:02.420 a video of him, quote, hitting a woman with a belt.

00:15:05.960 That's according to the BBC.

00:15:07.400 He claims the girl in the video was his friend and they were joking, but he was still dismissed

00:15:12.740 from the show.

00:15:14.940 He received more backlash and attention in 2017.

00:15:17.880 When, at the height of the Me Too movement, he tweeted that women should bear some responsibility

00:15:21.740 for being sexually assaulted.

00:15:23.980 Those tweets have now been deleted.

00:15:25.900 He was an ardent supporter of then-President Trump, gained a following in, quote, unquote,

00:15:30.460 according to NBC far-right pockets of social media.

00:15:33.720 He met with Donald Trump Jr. at Trump Tower in August 2017.

00:15:37.940 He's built a following online by posting YouTube videos and appearing on podcasts, including

00:15:42.140 Alex Jones' show.

00:15:44.160 That's according to the New York Times.

00:15:47.540 So how much influence does Andrew Tate really have?

00:15:51.420 It's actually amazing.

00:15:52.440 I think about this all the time, that I'll randomly stumble upon people, I'll randomly

00:15:58.240 stumble upon, you know, influencers or something on social media that are recommended

00:16:03.560 to me by Instagram, and I'll see that they have like 4 million followers.

00:16:07.120 I've never heard of them before.

00:16:09.140 The earth is very big.

00:16:10.460 So if you've never heard of Andrew Tate, that does not mean that he doesn't have influence.

00:16:15.120 It's not just a friend.

00:16:16.980 She has a lot of influence, and there are many, many famous people who have a lot of influence

00:16:21.040 that you and I have never heard of.

00:16:22.900 He has about 7.2 million followers on Twitter, about 1.5 million followers on Rumble.

00:16:28.480 He was kicked off YouTube around the same time he was kicked off TikTok and other platforms

00:16:37.880 in August 2022.

00:16:39.940 He apparently violated their terms of service, and they said that, you know, he posted things

00:16:48.980 that were misogynistic and promoted violence and conflict and all of this stuff.

00:16:54.600 And so, again, you can see how conservatives who are also routinely kicked off these platforms,

00:17:01.520 very often for just saying things that are controversial but true, like you can see how

00:17:05.860 he is starting to build himself up or has built himself up over the past several years as some

00:17:11.600 kind of champion of conservatism or at least heterodox ideas or unpopular truth.

00:17:19.280 He was permanently banned from Twitter as well in 2017, but he was reinstated recently by

00:17:24.320 Elon Musk.

00:17:27.640 And he's also said that he tries to stir up controversy in the things that he says because

00:17:32.240 that helps people, you know, that helps him go viral, that helps other people go viral,

00:17:36.880 get their message across, whatever.

00:17:38.920 The New York Times described a now banned video in which Mr. Tate recorded,

00:17:44.160 in which he said that he keeps a machete by his bed and what he would do if a woman accused

00:17:54.160 him of cheating. 0.98

00:17:56.680 It's bang out the machete, boom in her face, and grip her up by the neck. 1.00

00:18:01.840 Yeah, I've seen that video.

00:18:03.040 So that's part of the stuff that was getting him banned.

00:18:05.760 Like, very often when we hear the left saying things like, oh, misogynistic, whatever, we're

00:18:11.220 like, okay, yeah, they might have said something true about feminism that's being labeled as 1.00

00:18:17.160 misogynistic and censored.

00:18:18.780 But this is like one example of him seemingly, whether you think he was joking or not, encouraging

00:18:24.680 violence towards women in like a very graphic way.

00:18:28.700 By August of last year, videos of him on TikTok had been watched more than 11.6 billion times.

00:18:36.680 Wow.

00:18:37.620 He is also very popular with teen boys.

00:18:40.340 Now, this is from the Independent.

00:18:42.160 And so they're looking at boys in the UK.

00:18:44.760 He is British.

00:18:47.000 And so that he has more influence there.

00:18:52.020 A 2023 survey conducted by Hope Not Hate.

00:18:55.420 It's an anti-extremism UK advocacy group.

00:18:58.240 I'm not sure if they have the same progressive political leanings as a lot of these so-called

00:19:03.020 anti-extremism nonprofits, you know, have here in the United States.

00:19:07.600 But they found that eight in 10 British boys aged 16 and 17 had consumed Tate's content.

00:19:14.180 45% of British boys had a positive view of him.

00:19:19.880 When probed about what they like about Mr. Tate, most said they thought Mr. Tate wants

00:19:25.220 men to be real men and that he gives good advice.

00:19:28.500 Now, I've talked to plenty of you on Instagram after I've posted about Andrew Tate.

00:19:37.020 You're a teacher.

00:19:38.000 You're a mom.

00:19:39.180 You're a counselor.

00:19:40.820 You work with teen boys.

00:19:42.160 And you have found that he is very popular among teen boys, that a lot of them are influenced

00:19:47.400 by his ideas and how they think about relationships, how they think about money, how they think

00:19:52.840 about themselves and success and women, that these things are heavily influenced by people

00:20:00.280 like Andrew Tate.

00:20:01.960 But the research by the Center for Countering Digital Hates, again, you know, there could

00:20:09.420 be some bias there, argues that Tate's popularity was not so much a product of today's young men

00:20:14.360 and their views, but really Tate's expertise in gaming the TikTok algorithms.

00:20:17.920 I wouldn't agree with that.

00:20:18.940 I think people on the left do not understand why someone like Andrew Tate has any appeal whatsoever.

00:20:24.780 And I do, I do understand why he has so much appeal to these young teen boys.

00:20:42.920 All right, so the appeal of Andrew Tate is that he says things that are true.

00:20:47.840 He says some things that are true.

00:20:50.920 And so I want to play you some clips of him saying things to give you an understanding

00:20:55.040 of why people on the right who claim to be traditional, who claim to be against degeneracy,

00:21:00.600 who claim to be against immorality, who claim to be against, you know, sexual promiscuity

00:21:05.500 and all of these anti-traditional things that we see glorified in our society, why they would

00:21:12.900 simultaneously kind of like or at least have a nuanced and complex respect for someone like

00:21:20.260 Andrew Tate.

00:21:21.360 So one of the things that he talks about a lot, obviously, is masculinity.

00:21:25.480 This is an interview between him and Pierce Morgan from December 2022, in which he talks

00:21:35.460 about masculinity.

00:21:37.340 All these people who talk about toxic masculinity and how bad it is for men to be traditionally

00:21:41.380 masculine.

00:21:42.020 A traditionally masculine man does things he doesn't feel like doing because it is his duty

00:21:45.720 to do them.

00:21:46.280 He charges into the building because it is his duty.

00:21:48.560 Not because he feels like it, because it is his duty.

00:21:51.040 We're now teaching the new generation of men that they don't have duty and they can just

00:21:54.340 act on their feelings and act how they feel and they don't have to act as a man should.

00:21:58.000 Do you know what happens when you get men who just act how they feel?

00:22:00.840 You get school shooters, you get violence, you get rapists.

00:22:03.720 Men who do not control their emotions are dangerous.

00:22:06.020 If you find a man who is stoic, he's not going to hurt people.

00:22:08.440 He's going to sit and think about his actions very carefully and he's going to be a good man

00:22:11.280 who protects and provides for his family.

00:22:12.980 You find a man who just acts out on impulse and does whatever he feels like, you're going

00:22:16.940 to find a dangerous man.

00:22:18.780 Okay, that's true.

00:22:20.420 I mean, the Bible speaks to the importance of self-control, that a man without self-control, 1.00

00:22:24.940 a person without self-control is like a city without walls.

00:22:27.320 You become very vulnerable.

00:22:30.060 And so you hear what he said there.

00:22:32.180 It sounds moral.

00:22:33.300 It sounds good.

00:22:34.320 It sounds like exactly what you want a young man to hear, that you don't just act on how

00:22:38.580 you feel, that you actually have a responsibility.

00:22:41.020 You're actually called to something higher.

00:22:43.080 You're actually called to self-restraint.

00:22:44.740 He also says this, he has tenets, tenets of Tate on his website.

00:22:49.140 He says, I believe that men have the divine imperative to become as capable, powerful,

00:22:53.700 and competent as possible in this life.

00:22:57.600 Okay, great.

00:22:59.280 We like masculine strength.

00:23:01.100 That's a good thing.

00:23:02.480 He also talks about responsibility, hard work, discipline.

00:23:06.240 This is from a podcast appearance in which he talks about the importance of just doing the

00:23:12.160 right thing, rather than acting on some kind of feeling of motivation.

00:23:17.440 People who train every day don't want to train every day.

00:23:20.580 They are not motivated to train every day.

00:23:22.340 They are something else.

00:23:23.420 Motivation is the wrong word.

00:23:24.560 They are not motivated.

00:23:25.580 They are disciplined.

00:23:26.880 Andrew, are there ever days where you don't feel like working out or you don't feel like

00:23:31.220 doing work?

00:23:31.680 Every day, I don't feel like doing things that I still do.

00:23:35.540 It's called discipline.

00:23:36.400 It's called being a man.

00:23:37.460 It's not about feeling like doing it.

00:23:39.020 So, again, another good point.

00:23:42.740 He also, he talks about the importance of exercise.

00:23:47.340 You kind of just saw that in that.

00:23:48.540 You can probably tell as a kickboxer, as someone who is very in shape, who, you know, obviously

00:23:53.200 works out a lot.

00:23:54.060 He talks about the importance of physical strength.

00:23:56.920 He's tweeted, again, kind of the same idea that working hard little by little over time

00:24:03.680 takes discipline, but it also really pays off.

00:24:06.600 Um, and then he's also talked about, you know, the danger of preying upon kids with progressivism,

00:24:13.140 drag queen story hour, things like that.

00:24:15.120 So here he is saying, you know what?

00:24:16.540 You need to leave the kids out of that.

00:24:18.620 What do you think you're like, transgenders going and reading nursery stories and from 1.00

00:24:23.280 leave the kids alone. 0.98

00:24:24.800 If you want to chop your off, I have nothing against that. 0.99

00:24:27.460 I'm not anti-gay. 0.98

00:24:28.860 I'm not anti-transgender.

00:24:30.320 I'm not anti any of these things.

00:24:32.640 What I'm, what I am anti is propagating your worldview on other people's children. 0.76

00:24:36.980 If you're gay and you can't have kids, why do you now believe it's your right to go to 0.99

00:24:41.400 other people's kids and tell them how to think? 0.98

00:24:43.940 If you've decided that the type of sex you want to have will prevent you from recreate,

00:24:48.160 from procreating, that's your decision, right? 0.93

00:24:50.360 You've decided that having sex with women isn't worth it for you. 0.99

00:24:53.080 You don't want to have children. 1.00

00:24:54.360 You want to have sex with men. 1.00

00:24:55.440 Fine. 0.99

00:24:55.800 Your decision and you're entitled to it.

00:24:57.300 That does not give you the entitlement to go to other people's families who did decide

00:25:01.980 to have children and raise them and try and program their children.

00:25:04.940 Leave the kids alone. 0.97

00:25:06.340 I mean, a lot of people hear that and they think, wow, that's a different way to say

00:25:10.940 it because he says things in a very forthright way and in a way that is a little different

00:25:16.620 and more unique than how other people are saying it.

00:25:21.220 He also has things to say about God and the importance of believing in God and religion

00:25:26.000 in how not believing in God leads to the breakdown of society.

00:25:29.980 So here he is with that analysis.

00:25:32.460 If you remove God from society completely, if you click your fingers and he's gone,

00:25:36.100 if you completely remove religion from earth, you'll see the devil appear pretty quickly. 0.99

00:25:39.900 You'll see mass breakdown of society.

00:25:42.140 You'll see crime.

00:25:42.960 You'll see rape. 0.97

00:25:43.540 You'll see murder. 1.00

00:25:44.140 You'll see death.

00:25:45.000 And then you'll understand that God is a real force.

00:25:47.460 After that, he is talking about Islam.

00:25:50.740 He's a Muslim.

00:25:51.340 You can just consider every single country that is dominated by Islam.

00:25:57.760 And you can just compare that reality also to what he just said.

00:26:02.460 But nevertheless, like if someone is listening to that and they're not thinking about like

00:26:07.080 what Islam has actually, like what Islam actually looks like and how it manifests itself in the

00:26:12.300 world, you could hear what he said.

00:26:14.500 And that sounds Christian.

00:26:15.420 Like it sounds biblical.

00:26:16.320 It sounds true.

00:26:17.140 Um, he's also talked about things like, uh, how, you know, climate change is a hoax,

00:26:22.440 which is something that a lot of conservatives believe.

00:26:24.860 Here he is on that.

00:26:26.360 If you're going to sit there and tell me that I need to give more money to the government

00:26:29.800 to stop the sun from being hot, I'm going to argue with you that I'd rather keep my money.

00:26:36.740 Thank you very much.

00:26:37.600 Yes.

00:26:38.140 So this is the problem with all these issues.

00:26:40.580 It's nearly anything.

00:26:41.180 When I argue against some people, you don't care about the issue.

00:26:43.480 I do.

00:26:44.000 But you're not smart enough to understand that the legislation around this issue is so

00:26:48.100 large.

00:26:48.800 It hasn't even been read by most people voting for it.

00:26:51.340 Yeah.

00:26:51.580 And there's something in the middle of it, which is going to damage every single person's

00:26:55.080 life, which has nothing at all to do with the issue itself.

00:26:58.800 And most people don't understand that.

00:27:01.140 So you can see, okay, here's one more.

00:27:04.040 Here's one more.

00:27:05.020 Uh, you can see, I mean, how he is appealing to a lot of conservatives.

00:27:09.480 Here he is talking about feminism.

00:27:11.200 We are the most beautiful union that God has possibly created on the planet, a feminine

00:27:18.620 woman and a masculine man.

00:27:20.100 It's the most beautiful union that can possibly exist.

00:27:22.380 It raises children the best.

00:27:24.480 Both parties are happier.

00:27:26.100 Both parties gain.

00:27:27.320 It's a net positive for everybody.

00:27:28.680 There's no negative.

00:27:29.440 There's no downside.

00:27:30.980 But if you destroy one side of the equation, then the other side is going to be completely

00:27:34.940 and utterly miserable and unhappy.

00:27:37.180 So I think what he's talking about there is that feminism has destroyed one side of the 1.00

00:27:43.540 equation.

00:27:44.020 And so that complimentary union, that relationship, that dynamic that we're supposed to have,

00:27:49.320 um, is not going to, is not going to be there.

00:27:53.320 So he says a lot of things that I would agree with that I think are true, that I think at

00:27:58.020 the very least are interesting, that a lot of people are simply unwilling to say.

00:28:05.740 Um, and the left has pushed back against a lot of what he said, has, uh, casted him as,

00:28:11.940 you know, some kind of awful misogynist who has an exclusively negative influence on society.

00:28:18.340 And they haven't taken the time to see at all why some people might, uh, ascribe to a lot

00:28:24.700 of the things that they've, that he said.

00:28:26.980 So for example, uh, the guardian in August, 2022, um, they published an article saying

00:28:33.500 inside the violent misogynistic world of TikTok's new star, Andrew Tate.

00:28:37.860 Tate's views have been described as extreme misogyny by domestic abuse charities capable

00:28:42.420 of radicalizing men and boys to commit harm offline.

00:28:45.440 MSNBC, Andrew Tate's violent misogynistic teachings are seeping into classrooms.

00:28:50.700 Tate's statements validate the followers, these followers' patriarchal belief systems

00:28:54.960 in which men remain heads of households and women are subservient actors who support them.

00:28:59.700 Um, they're, you know, attracting the toxic, uh, masculinity types to, uh, to Islam. 1.00

00:29:08.600 Yeah, it's Andrew Tate that is attracting the, uh, misogynistic types to Islam.

00:29:15.440 Uh, anyway, there's been other, uh, other headlines basically saying the same thing.

00:29:21.580 The dangerous philosophy of Andrew Tate, misogynistic influencer, Andrew Tate has captured

00:29:27.320 boys' attention, what teachers need to know.

00:29:31.980 And so I think a lot of people, if they've only seen clips like the ones that I play,

00:29:35.960 they've only heard him say things that are true.

00:29:38.160 Maybe some things that are a little objectifying towards women, but nothing really terrible.

00:29:43.300 And then they saw the Tucker Carlson interview and they heard about these charges in Romania

00:29:47.760 and they've seen some of the left-wing headlines.

00:29:50.360 It is very easy for me to understand, um, how people would think that he is really just

00:29:57.880 a victim of censorship.

00:29:59.240 He's a victim of the system.

00:30:01.140 Look, we've got all of these global elites, um, that we know at least a few of them were

00:30:08.260 in cahoots with someone like Jeffrey Epstein.

00:30:11.080 And as far as we know, none of them have been held accountable yet.

00:30:16.040 And yet now they are going after people would say someone like Andrew Tate, who was just trying

00:30:21.940 to tell men how to be strong, how to be individuals, how to push back against like corrupt authority

00:30:27.400 and things like that.

00:30:28.340 So if that is your picture, that is your understanding of what's going on.

00:30:32.700 Like I get why you would go to bat for Andrew Tate.

00:30:37.180 I get it.

00:30:37.940 And, and, and not to mention the fact that, um, he is not just saying some things that are

00:30:44.540 true, not some saying some things in like a unique compelling way, not only that, but his

00:30:51.400 audience of young men, they've been hearing for the past several years that in order for

00:30:59.800 them to be successful, in order for them to be valued, they need to do the exact opposite

00:31:06.680 of being strong.

00:31:07.920 Like they just need to be quiet.

00:31:10.260 They need to be weaker. 0.92

00:31:11.580 They need to just sit down and shut up that their voices don't matter, that their strength, 0.90

00:31:17.880 that their natural form of even healthy aggression is wrong, that it's simple, that it needs to 0.96

00:31:24.240 be subdued.

00:31:25.220 They just need to be more still.

00:31:27.000 They just need to be quieter.

00:31:28.660 They just, uh, need to take a back seat and let the women lead for a little while. 1.00

00:31:34.360 Like, I think we can all agree.

00:31:36.040 It is not a great time in history.

00:31:38.900 It's not a great time in society to be a young man.

00:31:42.400 You're constantly hearing about the toxicity of masculinity.

00:31:46.080 And you are being encouraged to feminize yourself so that you can fit in better with society. 0.86

00:31:52.480 It's harder and harder to find truly masculine heroes for young men.

00:31:57.580 I mean, when we have a dereliction of duty, when it comes to fatherhood, especially in

00:32:02.000 certain communities in the United States, like you could see why someone would look to

00:32:06.060 Andrew Tate and say, finally, someone who doesn't shame me for wanting to be strong.

00:32:12.080 Someone who doesn't shame me for being attracted to women.

00:32:15.660 Someone who doesn't shame me for wanting to be successful or wanting to be disciplined.

00:32:21.480 Someone who is willing to give me advice.

00:32:23.460 Someone who can sympathize, maybe even empathize with me and then tell me something to do that

00:32:29.840 is not just sit down and shut up.

00:32:32.480 Someone who talks about the negative impacts of feminism, both on women and men.

00:32:40.480 I can absolutely see why this would be attractive to a lot of men, especially young men who have

00:32:48.880 been demonized so harshly over the past several years.

00:32:53.500 Some would maybe even say several decades.

00:32:56.260 When there is a void, when other people, when in some cases, I'm certainly not saying all cases,

00:33:03.300 but when in some cases, pastors are even too scared to talk about the dangers of feminism. 0.99

00:33:08.940 When even church services have become an emotional, feminized experience.

00:33:15.860 When there is a lack of truth telling, when there is a lack of mentorship and examples for strong,

00:33:23.660 responsible masculinity, someone like Andrew Tate is going to fill the void and people will

00:33:30.640 listen to him.

00:33:31.420 I don't think it's a trick of the algorithms.

00:33:33.840 I don't think that he gamed the system.

00:33:36.480 I think he started saying things that people were interested in hearing and in some cases

00:33:42.280 really wanted and needed to hear.

00:33:45.440 And so you've got Tucker Carlson, who I'm a major fan of.

00:33:50.180 I really, really like Tucker and appreciate all of the truth that Tucker has shared over

00:33:54.740 the past few years.

00:33:55.580 But he posted an interview last week with Andrew Tate, a two hour interview.

00:34:01.620 You can go watch the whole thing.

00:34:02.940 They start out talking about the charges that he is facing because Andrew Tate is now under

00:34:08.420 house arrest for these charges of sex trafficking, et cetera.

00:34:12.200 And so they start talking about the charges in a very incredulous way.

00:34:17.940 Like, basically, can you believe that you're being charged with this stuff?

00:34:21.600 What exactly are you being charged for?

00:34:23.660 Is there any truth to this?

00:34:25.500 So it was claimed that not a single woman has come forward when it comes to these charges

00:34:30.220 saying that she was a victim.

00:34:33.420 Tucker also said that accusing a man of sex crimes is the fastest way to discredit what he's

00:34:39.220 saying, because Tate has said so many true things.

00:34:41.940 Tucker made the comparison to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who was accused of

00:34:46.320 and charged with rape after exposing damaging documents about the U.S. spying on its own

00:34:52.260 citizens.

00:34:53.300 And Tate claimed that he is being charged with being the head of an organized criminal group,

00:34:59.320 which is which recruits women to make TikTok videos to steal the money. 1.00

00:35:04.740 And then he steals the money from the TikTok views.

00:35:08.620 And so Tucker says, so it's a financial crime.

00:35:11.020 And Tate says it looks that way.

00:35:13.340 He does say that he was actually charged with human trafficking, forcing girls to work on

00:35:17.500 TikTok against their will, using something called the lover boy method.

00:35:23.680 And so he describes it as, oh, I was just nice to these women.

00:35:26.760 He says that he has never encouraged women or forced women or made women in any way post videos

00:35:32.880 to TikTok for money.

00:35:34.560 He just said he doesn't even know how to make money in that way.

00:35:39.420 He says, if you actually analyze the charges in the overall case against me, they're saying

00:35:43.880 that they're saying that my brother and I, by being nice men, convinced girls to have TikTok

00:35:50.800 accounts and to take the money.

00:35:54.080 He does not agree with that.

00:35:55.620 He doesn't think that that's right, that he has never forced women to do anything like

00:36:00.060 that.

00:36:00.300 He's never exploited women in this way.

00:36:02.300 He's never manipulated women in this way.

00:36:04.780 So here is his kind of explanation of what he's being charged with and how he feels about it.

00:36:10.500 But force, what does that consist of?

00:36:13.500 Forcing someone to do something.

00:36:14.780 Are they accusing you of using violence or?

00:36:17.200 No, they're accusing me.

00:36:18.080 And this thing, they're accusing me of using the lover boy method, coercing them by being nice.

00:36:23.760 And by the way, these charges presumably are public.

00:36:26.740 So they're public and this is extremely serious.

00:36:28.640 But if you actually analyze the overall case against me, they're saying that Andrew and his

00:36:33.940 brother, by being nice men, convinced girls to have TikTok accounts and then take the money.

00:36:40.120 And it's very interesting because inside of the entire case file, there's not a single

00:36:42.880 financial transaction to us for money.

00:36:44.520 OK, so he says that he's not being charged with any violence.

00:36:49.280 Again, they say that there is no there's no women who have come forward to say that they're

00:36:52.920 victims.

00:36:53.380 He says that the women who have talked to authorities have said that they're not victims.

00:36:58.000 So they talk a lot about being the enemy of the matrix and being against the powers that

00:37:02.560 be because of the true things that he has said.

00:37:06.040 But the fact of the matter is, is that Andrew Tate has admitted to doing a lot of the stuff

00:37:12.680 that he is charged with on tape.

00:37:15.280 Like he has been very public about the things that he is engaged in.

00:37:19.760 So underneath all of the maybe true things that he has said, all of the things that have

00:37:23.760 attracted men to him, like he has admitted to sexually and emotionally manipulating young

00:37:30.600 women into doing pornography for him and then taking over half of the money that they earn 1.00

00:37:37.940 doing that.

00:37:39.260 I don't have I don't know if this is via TikTok, but we do know that he created a webcam service 0.92

00:37:45.760 and he convinced women admittedly to work for him by having sex with them, by emotionally

00:37:52.940 manipulating them, saying, you know, we're going to be together. 0.85

00:37:56.320 I'm going to be with you, travel for work with me and then convincing them using that

00:38:02.520 method to then work for him and then lied to them about how much money they were actually

00:38:09.600 going to earn.

00:38:10.380 So right there, you've got some kind of you have manipulation via false pretenses and getting

00:38:19.000 girls to do a form of sex work for money. 1.00

00:38:21.580 I mean, that is a form of pimping.

00:38:24.700 So here is actually, though, the Romanian indictment.

00:38:27.280 I won't pretend to be a I won't pretend to be an expert on Romanian law.

00:38:33.040 So I'm not saying whether or not he is guilty of these charges, but we're going to get into

00:38:38.260 playing some of the things that he has actually said.

00:38:41.220 So the here this is according to Forbes and they have the indictment defendant Andrew Tate

00:38:47.580 together with defendant Tristan Tate and two female defendants formed an organized criminal

00:38:51.500 group with the purpose of committing in Romania and in the U.S. and the U.K. human trafficking

00:38:58.140 through actions of recruiting victims carried out by the defendants Andrew and Tristan, subsequently

00:39:02.400 under their coordination through actions of sheltering and transporting the victims carried

00:39:06.380 out by involving the defendants with the Luana Radu and Georgia Nagel with the aim of obtaining

00:39:16.260 significant sums of money by forcing the victims to engage in pornographic activities for the

00:39:20.760 production and distribution of pornographic materials using the website OnlyFans for this

00:39:26.080 purpose and by subjecting them to forced labor using the website TikTok, thus fulfilling the

00:39:31.480 constitutive elements of the crime of forming an organized criminal group.

00:39:36.240 The published indictment leaves out the victims names, but list charges of human trafficking

00:39:40.300 from 2016 to 2022, recruiting by deception, transporting the victims from the U.K. or within the country,

00:39:47.080 providing shelter with the aim of sexually exploiting the victim and forcing the victim to engage

00:39:51.040 in pornographic activities.

00:39:52.560 These actions fulfill the constitutive elements of the crime of human trafficking in continuous form.

00:39:58.940 So Tate says to Tucker that he is not being accused of violence, that he's only accused of using the lover

00:40:07.880 boy method or coercing them, he says coercing them, by being nice. But here's the indictment. He is

00:40:15.900 accused of violence. It says, during this time, together with a person named blank, they subjected the

00:40:22.420 victim to physical violence and psychological coercion resulting from actions of intimidation,

00:40:28.180 surveillance and control with the aim of sexually exploiting her fact from the indictment. He is

00:40:33.720 also accused of two acts of rape on the date, says the date, and a building located in says the

00:40:39.640 location. The defendant, Andrew Tate, coerced the victim by exerting physical violence and

00:40:45.220 psychological and verbal pressure intensified by the entire factual context to engage in normal

00:40:49.980 and moral sexual relations. Tate also told Tucker that this is only about TikTok and he says he's

00:40:56.780 never been involved in TikTok. He says their justification for this is that some girls I know

00:41:02.220 that they have found have TikTok accounts. But here's what the indictment actually says. The indictment

00:41:07.800 lists the known pornographic site OnlyFans of forcing her, a victim, to engage in pornographic

00:41:15.220 activities for the production and distribution of pornographic materials. Here's another fact from the

00:41:19.840 indictment. Tristan Tate faces the same charges of forcing the victim to engage in pornographic

00:41:24.420 activities in addition to subjecting one victim to forced labor for 12 hours on TikTok with only

00:41:29.300 a five minute break. So whether or not those things are true, it is not true that they haven't been

00:41:36.020 charged with violence, that they haven't been charged with other forms of coercion. There are many people

00:41:42.180 out there giving legal analysis. I saw this really great video by a criminal lawyer named Bruce Rivers.

00:41:47.840 He is a criminal lawyer. He has a very popular YouTube channel and he outlines three things that

00:41:52.780 are needed in sex trafficking charges. Force, fraud, so false pretenses or coercion, threat of harm or

00:41:59.160 some way to limit movement. And so throughout his video, he is actually reacting and I can link this video

00:42:04.800 so y'all can watch it for yourself. He reacts to a video that was published by Andrew Tate himself in

00:42:10.700 which he describes the methods that he uses to get women under false pretenses using fraud to

00:42:18.780 prostitute themselves, to work on webcam. And he lies about how much they're getting paid. He lies about

00:42:27.240 what the arrangement is going to be. And over and over again, you hear Andrew Tate say that this is about

00:42:34.220 control. You want to control them. You want to make sure that everything is under your control

00:42:39.900 and they know that they could not earn money in this way without you. He's controlling these women

00:42:46.140 through money, sex, information, and manipulation. We don't have time. It would take another hour to go

00:42:53.300 through the entire video that he reacts to, but I will link it for you. So before you say, oh, you're

00:42:58.240 just saying that that's a false accusation. That's not really true. You can go watch the video, go watch

00:43:03.000 the video for yourself and you can see the response that this lawyer has to Andrew Tate's own words.

00:43:08.820 But I will play you some of the clips of Andrew Tate basically admitting to some of the things

00:43:13.900 that he is being charged for and then other things that he's not being charged for. He has also talked

00:43:17.920 about this lawyer that I just mentioned. He calls it self-snitching that basically he snitched on

00:43:23.900 himself over the years. And it doesn't take a lot of digging to find this stuff.

00:43:27.920 Okay. So here is one thing that he says in a now deleted video from his YouTube channel. Tate

00:43:47.340 explains that the lax laws are 40% of the reason I moved to Romania. Tate said, I'm not an effing

00:43:53.820 rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free. If you're a man

00:43:59.620 living in England or Germany or America or any of the Western world right now, you've decided to live

00:44:03.360 in a country where any woman at any point in the future can destroy your life. And so he's talking 0.99

00:44:10.320 about how so much credence, and I agree to a degree that too much credence is given immediately

00:44:18.240 without any discernment, without any questions to, um, allegations made by women toward men. Like you

00:44:25.560 heard, believe all women, believe all women. And an allegation is enough in the court of public opinion

00:44:30.600 to ruin someone's life, which of course I think is wrong. The Bible actually speaks to that, that someone

00:44:35.120 who makes a false accusation should receive the same punishment, um, that the person would have

00:44:41.220 received, if that, uh, would have received that was accused by the false accuser, if that makes sense. Um,

00:44:50.740 but I mean, he says, and he said earlier, as I, as I pointed out that he, he moved to Romania because yes,

00:44:56.920 it's corrupt, but everyone he says has access to corruption. So here he is several years ago, talking on a

00:45:03.940 podcast about his pimpin hose degree.

00:45:06.820 So yeah, on corporate tech.com, I have my PhD program and that is a PhD is a pimpin hose degree 0.90

00:45:13.440 that, um, um, that teaches basically how I got girls, how I met girls, how I got girls to like

00:45:22.500 me, how I got girls to fall in love with me, to work on webcam for me. Cause that's what I did. 1.00

00:45:26.780 That was my, my MO was fine girls, make them love me and make them work for me. And that's how I got

00:45:31.380 rich. I was all about trying to get paid. Like my whole, I used sex as a tool to make women love 1.00

00:45:37.440 me. So they'd obey me and live in my house and make me money. That that's what I wanted. So I

00:45:41.720 was a pimp in that sense. Like I was not trying to have sex with women. I was trying to get women 0.99

00:45:45.640 to obey me. And I realized that's easier if they like to have sex with me, if they don't like having 0.98

00:45:49.820 sex with me, it's pretty hard to make them listen to me. 0.95

00:45:51.860 So those were from a few different appearances, um, in which he talks about not just his pimpin hose degree, 0.93

00:45:57.380 but also he's talking about his recruitment process for, uh, bringing girls in to work for

00:46:02.980 him. That's the lover boy method. Um, and he calls himself a pimp. And so some of the things in this

00:46:08.780 indictment, he has talked about doing, it's not just being nice to women. It is yes, manipulating them,

00:46:16.380 lying to them in some cases, um, using their, you know, vulnerability to try to get them to 0.80

00:46:25.080 prostitute themselves so he can take money from that. And, you know, I've seen, I said basically

00:46:30.940 that on Twitter and I got some people saying, Oh, the girls aren't held accountable. Like they had 1.00

00:46:36.680 a choice in this. They made a choice. I'm not saying that these women made, didn't make a choice. 0.67

00:46:42.080 I'm not saying that they made a good choice. I'm not saying that they had good discernment and wisdom

00:46:45.520 when they decided to pair up with Andrew Tate. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that they were

00:46:51.700 making like wise decisions with their life and with their body. But if you listen to,

00:46:56.640 if you listen to him and if you listen to a lot of the things that he has said, especially in that

00:47:01.920 analysis by the lawyer, I was just telling you about, like he made it very difficult for them

00:47:07.340 to really have any other choice. I'm not defending the choices that they made initially or their

00:47:13.440 discernment or whatever. But it's funny how the people who are saying, Oh, well, these women had a

00:47:18.820 choice. They had agency. They had autonomy too. They won't bring themselves to say though,

00:47:23.720 that what Andrew Tate did is wrong. Like they really only want to blame the women for their

00:47:30.580 decisions and basically just say that Andrew Tate was a hustler. So why can't you say both? I can say

00:47:36.720 both. Why can't the defenders of Andrew Tate say both? That both choices were wrong, but he used his

00:47:41.620 power and even his physical might allegedly to keep women in line and to keep women working for him.

00:47:48.820 Uh, he also, so he's talking about, uh, recruiting women, uh, in this next clip. And he is talking

00:47:59.720 about how he was trying to figure out how he was going to make money. And because he was broke at one

00:48:06.160 point at the beginning of all of this, and he thought about, okay, what assets do I have that I can

00:48:11.980 make money from? And here's the conclusion that he came to. I was on YouTube, like researching,

00:48:17.720 you know, how people make money, what millionaires have, dah, dah, dah. And they kept talking about

00:48:21.420 assets. And I was sitting there thinking, what assets do I have? I have a car. I have this,

00:48:27.220 I have that. And then I realized I had about five girlfriends, all smoking home and females are an 1.00

00:48:33.440 asset. Attractive females are absolutely an asset. And if you disagree with me, walk in the club with 1.00

00:48:38.560 10 blondes and you'll see who the most important guy in the club is. The champagne shows. 0.98

00:48:42.560 Okay. So he goes on to say, you didn't get the context in that clip, but he goes on to say how

00:48:49.180 he basically used these women as assets to try to, uh, make money by giving them to perform on 1.00

00:48:57.500 webcam. So that just shows like what he thinks about women. Uh, they were an asset for him. Like

00:49:04.080 things are typically seen as assets, not human beings. Um, he appears to admit in this next video,

00:49:11.680 uh, to having a minor work for him as his top webcam girl. He, here, he implies that one of his girls, 0.99

00:49:18.220 his bottom B I T C H has been with him since she was 15 or 16. Um, so she says, he says that she's

00:49:26.360 21 has been with him for six years. So we're just kind of doing the math on that, but you can take a

00:49:31.960 listen for yourself. You actually have to downplay your relationship with the girl of six years,

00:49:35.720 which is difficult. And I only get away with that because the girl of six years plays along.

00:49:39.200 So Vivian's been with me six years. She's completely head over heels in love with me.

00:49:42.320 She wants kids with me, everything, everything, everything. And we met and we fell, whatever,

00:49:46.120 we're in love. When I bring on new girls, I usually pair them with Vivian because Vivian's 0.90

00:49:50.920 younger. Melissa's like 28. Vivian's like 21. Vivian's younger. She's more fun, more outgoing.

00:49:57.120 Melissa's really quite not a bad way. She's more homey, boring.

00:50:00.460 Okay. So you heard him say, unless that was some kind of mistake, unless that was a mistake,

00:50:08.920 he said that Vivian, his main girl is 21. They've been together for six years.

00:50:16.720 So is he talking about past tense when she started? He was 21. Now he made another comment. Um, I don't

00:50:24.420 think that we have the clip. It doesn't sound, it doesn't look like we have the clip in front of me,

00:50:29.460 but, uh, I'll, I'll link it in the description where he is talking on a podcast and he says,

00:50:36.340 you know, it's common for me in this webcam business to have girls that are 15. I mean, 16. 0.64

00:50:41.300 I mean, what's the age of consent in the United States? Oh, 18 working for me. Just take that as

00:50:48.060 what you will take. That is what you will. Um, he also has made comments about not paying taxes.

00:50:56.020 It's funny because in one of the videos, when he's talking about women being an asset and really

00:51:00.380 explaining everything that he, uh, that he does and how he manipulates and exploits these women.

00:51:07.260 Uh, he talks about women don't understand taxes. And so you can tell them that you're splitting it 0.97

00:51:13.380 50 50, but you have to take a cut out of their pay in order to pay taxes. And you get them to just

00:51:19.460 sign these fake tax forms that you just throw away. But because you're paid via Bitcoin, you don't even

00:51:25.720 have to pay taxes. So he's talking about women. He said, women don't understand tax. And then he goes

00:51:31.900 to show that he doesn't understand tax because it's not true. You do have to pay taxes, even if it's

00:51:37.780 Bitcoin. And so again, that's false pretense. That's fraud, but it also goes to show how little

00:51:43.280 he thinks of women and then how little he apparently understands about tax himself.

00:51:48.720 He's talked about tax evasion and how he doesn't want to pay taxes. Um, he also says this, this is

00:51:54.440 just like a random bad take. This has nothing to do with the, it's not illegal to have bad takes,

00:51:58.720 but just to understand a little bit more about who he is. Um, in December, 2022, he tweeted this

00:52:05.160 reading books is for losers who are afraid to learn from life. So they try and learn from the life of 0.81

00:52:10.140 others. They have lived, but if you never really learn unless, but you never really learn unless

00:52:15.020 you lived it, you must feel it to believe it. Books are a total waste of time. Education is for cowards.

00:52:21.520 He says, but then it's funny because in March of this year, he says, I am not allowed computers, 0.77

00:52:28.400 but I've requested a typewriter. It is my, it is time to write my book. Are you a loser? If you read

00:52:35.020 Andrew Tate's book, that's the question, that's the question. Um, so, I mean, there's so much,

00:52:42.360 there's so much out there that he said that he has admitted to making money off of exploiting women.

00:52:49.860 There are a lot of disturbing montages out there, um, where he is obviously, uh, acting in a way that

00:52:58.420 is illegal. I've, I've, uh, talked about some of these montages that you can go look for yourself.

00:53:05.360 There's a lot out there in his own words, as in the words of the lawyer, I was talking about,

00:53:11.800 he's a smell, a self snitcher. He has told on himself as many times. And it's just funny how

00:53:18.160 many people defend Andrew Tate saying, Oh, it's context. It's his persona. It's a joke. Guys,

00:53:26.000 you don't have to go to bat for him. You can just say, there are some things that he said that are

00:53:30.240 true and also say, yeah, but he's also a pimp that doesn't actually live up to any of the values

00:53:36.980 that he says that he has. He's not a traditional man. This is not responsible masculinity. This is not

00:53:43.340 good stewardship of the strength and the resources that you've been given. I mean, this is like the

00:53:48.460 weakest of the week, like the, the weakest intellectually, the weakest in masculinity, 0.99

00:53:55.420 the weakest man, the most inept man in the world can, uh, manipulate women into doing sex work 0.99

00:54:03.700 for them. Like if you want to do something that actually takes sacrifice, that actually takes 0.99

00:54:09.600 diligence, that actually takes discipline, that actually takes real responsibility and real

00:54:14.680 morality and real duty, all of these things that he talks about, then do something that is actually

00:54:21.160 going to make a real positive edifying, um, impact rather than something that is destroying.

00:54:28.940 It's destroying the lives of these girls. It's destroying the lives of the men. It's destroying

00:54:33.860 the families that are involved with these men who are in his words, falling in love with these women

00:54:39.280 and, uh, being addicted to the kind of pornography that he's putting out. And he's talked about the

00:54:44.880 destructiveness of pornography. Pornography is ruining men's lives. It's ruining women's lives 1.00

00:54:50.240 in a variety of ways. Only fans is an exclusively destructive force that encourages sex trafficking

00:54:57.260 and has allowed for sexual violence against children to be monetized on a daily basis through their 0.61

00:55:05.300 platform. And Andrew Tate is a part of that. And the very same people who say that they're

00:55:11.080 anti-groomer, who say we should ban porn, who say that sex predators should get the death penalty.

00:55:18.440 All of these people who, by the way, I agree with all of those things, who talk about the dangers 0.77

00:55:22.560 of gender ideology, that that is a form of grooming. When you push that kind of confusion on kids,

00:55:29.220 it's so strange to me how the people who say that will simultaneously defend Andrew Tate,

00:55:36.160 or they will at least, as I said, have a complex and nuanced respect for him.

00:55:40.260 That they will say, you know, I don't agree with everything, but he's still a victim.

00:55:47.940 Or they'll just focus on the positive things that he said, and they'll ignore the fact that he

00:55:51.880 is admitted to be a literal groomer. It's just strange to me. Why? Like the same week,

00:56:00.520 the same two-week period, that we've got Sound of Freedom coming out, and we're talking about the

00:56:06.880 evil of trafficking and the wickedness of selling humans, of buying humans, of purchasing people for

00:56:15.180 sex. Like you've got some of the same people, it seems, claiming that Andrew Tate, who admits to

00:56:22.880 being a pimp, is some kind of hero. So there are a few examples of this. You've got someone named

00:56:32.920 Pearl Davis. Pearl. She says, Andrew Tate's only real crime is being too influential. The Matrix won't

00:56:41.900 have it. And she responded to me when I said that he is evidence that the right can be as easily

00:56:49.700 manipulated as the left by empty platitudes and virtue signaling, which is what Andrew Tate does.

00:56:56.500 And he emotionally and sexually manipulated girls to make money. She says, oh, come on, Allie. 1.00

00:57:01.300 Sexually and emotionally manipulates women. It's feminist-speak. We don't need this on the right. 1.00

00:57:06.460 These women made their own choices. Stop blaming the men. She didn't respond to me when I asked her

00:57:13.220 why she uses so many exclamation marks. I don't know if it's a tick or something like that, and why 0.67

00:57:19.220 she can't also, at the same time, call out the men for their choices. Is that really difficult? Maybe it

00:57:24.460 is difficult for some people. All of us have been gifted our own intellectual capacities. Feminists, 1.00

00:57:32.260 she said, have expanded the definition of human tracking. I think she means human trafficking,

00:57:36.560 rape, and coercion so much that we are at the point that conservatives are trying to take away

00:57:40.920 accountability from sex workers, conservatives. What? I know so many women that would never do that, 1.00

00:57:48.020 no matter the price. It's a disservice to us. Again, I don't believe in taking accountability away

00:57:54.200 from people who sell their bodies. I just think that the people who manipulate them,

00:57:57.760 and in some cases coerce them to sell their bodies, that they should also be held accountable.

00:58:04.020 It's really, I think, difficult, I guess, for some people to understand.

00:58:08.300 There is a reporter by the name of Suleiman Ahmed who says it's quite simple. This is a coordinated

00:58:14.900 attack orchestrated by those in power. It's not a conspiracy theory. He says, when we began posting

00:58:22.040 about a Muslim-Christian alliance against LGBTQ in schools, a few days later, there's a coordinated

00:58:27.140 attack aimed at discrediting this idea, ensuring there is no unity. I guess he's talking about the

00:58:32.360 fact that, you know, Andrew Tate is Muslim, so it's all a part of that. Alex Jones came to Tate's 0.99

00:58:41.300 defense after his arrest, saying that the charges against Tate are completely, absolutely, totally

00:58:46.580 made up, that Tate is well known for being neurotic about not breaking the law. Again, he self-snitched

00:58:53.420 a lot. Ryan Fournier says, Andrew Tate was arrested for human trafficking. Really? After all the BS

00:58:59.060 we've seen this year, do you really think this is true? There's a fan account, Tate News. I'm not sure

00:59:05.480 who runs it. Andrew Tate, right, as always, there's no influencer other than Andrew Tate that is

00:59:11.860 genuinely benefiting our lives. Free top G. There are several other conservatives that you would know

00:59:20.160 that have said things in defense of Andrew Tate, who have accused people like me and others who

00:59:26.720 criticize him of being some kind of left-wing feminist, which of course is absurd. Like,

00:59:32.840 do you have to be a left-wing feminist to say that, oh, maybe the things that he stands for, 1.00

00:59:39.000 like, they're not something that a Christian conservative should ever support or defend in

00:59:43.420 any way? Like, this really shouldn't be that difficult or that complicated, but apparently

00:59:49.860 it is. Apparently we're so tribalistic and we're so deluded and we're so absolutely just

00:59:56.980 mush-brained that we can't just say, oh, I think that probably the things that he has said don't

01:00:03.440 align with my values, even though he has said some things that are true. He obviously doesn't live up

01:00:08.060 to the standards that he apparently is setting for other men, so we should just view him as someone

01:00:13.180 who is discredited. I don't know. I guess it's just difficult. It's just difficult. Not that any

01:00:20.780 of us, including myself, is perfect in, like, discernment and wisdom and understanding people's

01:00:26.500 character and, like, their goods and their bads. I'm not saying that, but it's pretty obvious when it

01:00:32.060 comes to Andrew Tate how much he has admitted to trying to ruin people's lives through exploiting

01:00:39.560 women. Okay, so what is the, what should the, what's the alternative then? Like, what's the 0.98

01:00:46.000 Christian response to Andrew Tate? Because Andrew Tate, he bills himself as a man of God, as a man of

01:00:53.320 responsibility. I already said there has been, I think, a dereliction of duty in some cases

01:00:57.560 by the church to talk about, like, what real masculinity looks like. And you've got a whole

01:01:03.940 movement within the evangelical church trying to say that men in power or men being the heads of

01:01:09.660 families or men being the heads of churches has led to abuse. And so the answer to that is to try to

01:01:17.300 minimize the influence or even feminize the influence of masculinity and men in the church, which is

01:01:24.040 obviously not the answer either. And so I think young men are looking for truth and they are

01:01:30.560 looking for purpose. And so they're looking to someone who claims to have these things like

01:01:35.040 Andrew Tate. But look, Andrew Tate is a scumbag. Following Andrew Tate, young men, is not going to 1.00

01:01:41.620 lead to satisfaction. Not only if you do the things that he's admitted to doing, will you probably get

01:01:46.600 charged and end up in prison, but you're not going to find yourself with a satisfying relationship.

01:01:52.400 You're not going to find yourself in a healthy, happy marriage. You're not going to find yourself

01:01:57.200 with a lot of self-respect. You're not going to find yourself with the kind of discipline that

01:02:01.440 actually leads to any kind of fulfilling life. You are going to find yourself with all of these

01:02:07.660 empty treasures, with all of these vapid goals that maybe you reach and you're going to realize that

01:02:16.400 you're just as lonely, you're just as empty as you were before. You're going to find that the answers

01:02:23.700 that Andrew Tate is trying to give you for your problems, that it's going to lead to just as much

01:02:29.200 dissatisfaction, just as much self-loathing as what you are hearing from the left who says that all of

01:02:36.560 your masculinity is toxic. Look, both messages are wrong. He has given you a false idea of what it means

01:02:43.620 to be strong, of what it means to be responsible, of what it really means to be a man. I promise if

01:02:50.760 you pursue this, it will end up in a dead end. And the Bible talks about people like Andrew Tate

01:02:56.840 and the messages that he conveys about sex, about women, about personal gain, about influence,

01:03:03.300 about riches, about success, about really the God of self. Because that is who Andrew Tate worships.

01:03:11.540 He worships like so many in our society, right and left, the God of self rather than the God of

01:03:17.620 scripture, the God of self, whatever form it manifests itself in, whether it's in this hyper

01:03:22.600 masculinity or whether it's in this emasculation that we see, especially through gender ideology 0.80

01:03:28.160 and some forms of feminism, like it's always going to lead to destruction no matter what. 1.00

01:03:34.180 The devil is crafty, can take on many forms to appeal to all different kinds of people. The

01:03:40.840 destination is the same place. So I just want to, I just want to read, like there's so much that I

01:03:47.040 could say, but just let me read what I think scripture has to say about these kinds of messages.

01:03:53.940 Okay. So I want to read you from second Peter two, second Peter two. Now, second Peter two is

01:04:12.480 talking about false prophets and false teachers. And typically when we're talking about false prophets,

01:04:18.740 we are talking about within the Christian church, those who claim to be Christians,

01:04:22.660 who claim to be proclaiming the gospel, but then they're teaching something that is not aligned

01:04:26.820 with scripture, that is not in alignment with what Jesus taught. And it's leading people astray.

01:04:31.220 It's leading people to destruction. Now, Andrew Tate doesn't claim to be a Christian. And so he's not 0.59

01:04:37.260 claiming, I mean, he's a Muslim, so he's not claiming to be a Christian prophet, but in a lot of ways,

01:04:42.460 he is claiming to be a prophet, maybe not explicitly, but he is claiming to basically have access to,

01:04:50.000 and the unique ability to communicate higher truths that if you access them yourself, if you accept

01:04:57.160 them yourself and apply them to your life, like you will be in a way saved. You will at the very least

01:05:04.240 be successful. You will step outside of this socially induced incarceration that he talks about.

01:05:11.620 But 2 Peter 2 talks about the danger of false prophets. And again, even though Andrew Tate is not

01:05:18.600 an espousing Christian prophet, a professing Christian prophet, I still think these principles

01:05:24.860 absolutely apply because he is also leading people to destruction in the name of truth.

01:05:31.560 2 Peter 2, but false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among

01:05:37.120 you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the master who bought

01:05:42.280 them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality. And because

01:05:47.460 of them, the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed, they will exploit you with false

01:05:52.880 words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. But these,

01:05:58.940 like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about

01:06:04.120 matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong

01:06:09.100 as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, their blots and 0.97

01:06:14.420 blemishes, reveling in their deceptions while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery,

01:06:19.760 insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed, accursed children.

01:06:26.220 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of 1.00

01:06:31.120 Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression. A speechless

01:06:36.240 donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. So again, there's a distinction

01:06:42.600 through what's being talked about here, people who profess to be Christians who are preaching

01:06:46.820 something that is not true. But he does profess to be a man of God. He does profess to have wisdom

01:06:52.980 from God, to have favor from God, and to be telling you liberating truth that if you apply and have

01:06:58.880 access to, you will be free and satisfied and fulfilled. And it leads to destruction.

01:07:07.720 Oh, there's more on this. There's more on this, actually. I thought that I was done reading that

01:07:12.120 chapter, but this is also applicable. These are waterless springs. That's good. These are waterless

01:07:17.380 springs and mist driven by a storm. For them, the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For

01:07:23.140 speaking loud boasts of folly, they enticed by sensual passions of the flesh, those who are barely 1.00

01:07:28.380 escaping from those who live in error. They promised them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of

01:07:34.060 corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped

01:07:40.580 the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they are again

01:07:44.480 entangled in them and overcome the last state and overcome. The last state has become worse for them

01:07:51.100 than the first, for it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness

01:07:55.080 than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb

01:08:00.940 says has happened to them, the dog returns to its own vomit. And after the, so after washing herself

01:08:06.560 returns to wallow in the mire. I mean, you will remember that Andrew Tate says that he was raised

01:08:11.880 a Christian. There's more on this that I would say to young men or just young people, or in particular,

01:08:21.640 professing Christians who are tempted to buy into Tate's argument. First John 2, 15 through 17,

01:08:27.140 do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the father

01:08:31.840 is not in him. That's convicting for all of us. For all that is in the world, the desires of the flesh

01:08:37.420 and the desires of the eyes and the pride of life is not from the father, but it's from the world.

01:08:44.960 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides

01:08:50.020 forever. Now, Andrew Tate tweeted a verse in which Jesus says, if the world hates you, keep in mind that

01:09:01.120 they hated me first, except that verse is not talking about Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate doesn't

01:09:07.060 follow Christ. He is not hated because he is following Christ. He's not being persecuted

01:09:11.600 because he is a follower of God. Matthew 5, 27 through 29, you have heard that it was said,

01:09:19.020 you shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful

01:09:22.740 intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin,

01:09:27.260 tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that

01:09:31.040 your whole body be thrown in to hell. There's a lot more that I could read. Let me read you one 0.99

01:09:37.900 more and then we'll be done. Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom

01:09:46.140 of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who

01:09:51.400 practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will 0.99

01:09:56.460 inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but you are washed, you are sanctified, you are 0.99

01:10:00.860 justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God. The body is not meant for 0.72

01:10:05.980 sexual immorality, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6, 9 through 11.

01:10:11.580 There's Ephesians 5, 25 through 28. There's also Ephesians 5, 1 through 16. There's 1 Thessalonians

01:10:18.120 4, 3 through 8, that all speak against all of the practices that people like Andrew Tate has put into

01:10:25.340 place. And then so I would just warn you, Christian, I would urge you, Christian, to look to Christ. If

01:10:30.920 you don't find any worldly models, if you don't find any or any models in the world or in society or

01:10:40.440 where you're looking, if you can't find a godly mentor, at the very least, look to Christ. Yes,

01:10:45.940 people in the church, people in the conservative movement, people in the places that you exist will

01:10:51.660 fail you. They will fail to live up to being a good mentor. They will fail at being good examples

01:10:57.440 of masculinity and of strength and of responsibility. Look to Christ. Look to his word. I promise you the

01:11:03.380 way of Andrew Tate leads to hell. It leads to destruction. It leads to unhappiness. It leads

01:11:08.880 to exploitation. It leads to dissatisfaction. It is just as far away from what is good and right and

01:11:14.780 beautiful and true as any form of secular, simple leftism. I don't know if he is guilty of all of

01:11:23.420 the Romanian charges. I hope the justice prevails in his favor if those charges are not proven.

01:11:31.320 But that does not mean that we need to defend him. That's where our defense is limited. Beyond that,

01:11:38.140 he says things about masculinity. He says things that are true that he doesn't himself live up.

01:11:44.780 And thankfully, we have a standard bearer. We have Christ. We have the word made flesh. We have

01:11:50.420 the written word. We have something better. The gospel is better. Christianity is better. God's 0.99

01:11:57.300 prescription for masculinity, for success, for satisfaction found in Christ, which is a form

01:12:01.920 of dying to yourself, is better. It's better than the pride and the lust and the fleshliness that is

01:12:09.560 given by someone like Andrew Tate. All right. That's all I have time for today. Long. There's

01:12:15.960 a lot of information. We'll get to the woman stuff at some point, but I just wanted to get through all

01:12:19.600 that. Thanks so much for listening. We will be back here tomorrow.
