00:00:04.000 On a scale of one to 10, how brutal do you need me to be?
00:00:07.000 How crazy?
00:00:08.000 I want you to be whatever you want to do, man.
00:00:11.000 Like, I mean, I'm going to ask you and we'll just roll right into it.
00:00:14.000 Like, we'll just talk and then roll right into it.
00:00:18.000 You know, I'm going to do what I do, which is, you know, I'm a psychotherapist.
00:00:23.000 So I'm going to try to probe into your emotional life.
00:00:26.000 I'm going to ask you a little bit about your past and see what's going on.
00:00:30.000 Sounds fun.
00:00:31.000 Yeah.
00:00:32.000 Well, maybe let's just, why don't we just start there?
00:00:34.000 Just tell me a little bit about, like, Your history, like growing up, what was it like for you growing up?
00:00:40.000 Yeah, very good question.
00:00:41.000 But it's a very general question, isn't it?
00:00:42.000 It's very broad.
00:00:43.000 It is a broad question.
00:00:44.000 Well, what comes up for you?
00:00:46.000 I mean, specifically for me, it would be your relationship to your parents.
00:00:51.000 Yeah, I had amazing parents.
00:00:52.000 Yeah, I had an amazing father, an amazing mother.
00:00:55.000 I think they both did their particular job very, very well.
00:00:58.000 It was a clearly gendered household.
00:01:02.000 From a very young age, I was moved up a bunch of grades because I was clearly a genius from the start.
00:01:07.000 Played a lot of chess.
00:01:09.000 Moved to England, started fighting, kicked a bunch of ass, and here I am.
00:01:12.000 That's basically it, really.
00:01:15.000 And they were like warm, loving, supportive parents?
00:01:19.000 Absolutely.
00:01:20.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:01:21.000 They were very strict.
00:01:23.000 But I think that's the number one thing that's missing in the world today is discipline.
00:01:27.000 It's very, see, it's when I'm sitting on Twitter, I have what I like to think of.
00:01:32.000 I have the very flashy teenage boys' dream of a life.
00:01:36.000 I have all the girls, I've got nine supercars, I'm living in this big mansion.
00:01:41.000 I'm in Romania.
00:01:42.000 What is he doing in Romania?
00:01:43.000 He's rolling around with all the police, they're giving him police escorts to drive his Lambo and all this crazy stuff.
00:01:48.000 So, I have what every guy dreams of having when he's like 18.
00:01:52.000 And a lot of these guys, they come to me for advice and they absolutely lack discipline as individuals.
00:01:58.000 And I think that's because they weren't disciplined as a child.
00:02:00.000 That's my view.
00:02:02.000 I've always been disciplined myself because I've always lived a disciplined life.
00:02:06.000 I lived in a disciplined household.
00:02:07.000 Like, there was no such thing as I don't want to.
00:02:10.000 So, even now, if I wake up and I don't want to do something, I don't need someone to tell me to do it because I'll do it anyway.
00:02:15.000 I mean, who wants to run a marathon?
00:02:18.000 Nobody.
00:02:19.000 Who wants to do that?
00:02:20.000 You just do it, don't you?
00:02:21.000 Because, you know, it's the thing you're going to have to do.
00:02:23.000 And you have to blood, sweat, tears, blah, blah, blah.
00:02:26.000 So, yeah, I was grown up in a very disciplined household.
00:02:29.000 And I think it's absolutely the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:02:33.000 And, yeah, that's it.
00:02:34.000 I had a very, very good childhood.
00:02:36.000 When I look at some of the stuff on Twitter about parenting and stuff like in my household, I fucked up.
00:02:40.000 I got hit, for example.
00:02:42.000 And I think that's a fantastic thing.
00:02:43.000 I can't wait to kick my kid's ass when he gets hurt.
00:02:45.000 I can't wait.
00:02:46.000 Because that's the real world.
00:02:48.000 The real world's going to hit you hard if you make mistakes, and you need to learn that there's boundaries you shouldn't cross, and you need to learn to, you know, cause and effect.
00:02:56.000 I loved my upgrade from start to finish.
00:02:58.000 Yeah, and it seems like it served you well.
00:03:01.000 Well, yeah, I mean, I've done okay.
00:03:03.000 Yeah, I mean, I have basically everything I ever wanted.
00:03:07.000 So, I mean, I can't complain.
00:03:10.000 You know, it's done me pretty good.
00:03:11.000 It's done me pretty good.
00:03:12.000 What motivates you?
00:03:14.000 I think that every man is born, especially men, because I can't talk for women because I'm not a female.
00:03:19.000 So, I can't talk for women, but I think every man is born with the motivation to, in one form or another, conquer the world.
00:03:28.000 And I think that's why it doesn't matter if you do it in a corporate sense.
00:03:31.000 It doesn't matter if you do it in a physical sense.
00:03:33.000 I've done it in every sense.
00:03:35.000 It doesn't matter.
00:03:35.000 I mean, this is the same drive.
00:03:37.000 The reason the Romans melted rocks, made swords, walked in random directions, and killed anyone they could find, I mean, they didn't have Google Maps.
00:03:46.000 They didn't email those guys to find out they're bad guys.
00:03:48.000 They didn't give a fuck.
00:03:49.000 They're like, well, let me just go over here.
00:03:51.000 And take this from them because there's something warrior, there's an instinct inside of men that makes you want to conquer.
00:03:56.000 This is the reason why more CEOs are men.
00:03:58.000 They go, oh, it's the gender pay gap.
00:04:00.000 No, a man will sacrifice his life for his work in a way that a female, most females, won't because they see it as a form of conquest.
00:04:09.000 It's the reason I enjoyed to fight.
00:04:10.000 It's the reason that some men like having so many women.
00:04:14.000 It's the world, it's conquering.
00:04:15.000 And I think that happiness for a man in one form or another is derived from conquest.
00:04:21.000 I think that's what it is.
00:04:22.000 And that's what motivates me.
00:04:23.000 No matter, there's always something new to conquer, you know, so it gets me up every day.
00:04:28.000 And especially in the fields I take most interest in.
00:04:33.000 There's no upper limit.
00:04:34.000 There's never too much money.
00:04:35.000 You can never be too strong.
00:04:36.000 You can never be too fit.
00:04:37.000 And there's always some new girl.
00:04:38.000 So there's always something to do.
00:04:41.000 You know, this is how it is.
00:04:42.000 Is there a soft side to you?
00:04:45.000 Absolutely.
00:04:46.000 Tell me about your soft side.
00:04:48.000 Well, you have to clarify soft side in which way.
00:04:50.000 Oh, I'm a human.
00:04:52.000 Yeah, you're a human.
00:04:53.000 And I guess that's what I'm curious about because you present, and it's authentic, I can feel it, as powerful, strong, ambitious, successful, and it's real.
00:05:03.000 And I see what you're doing in the world.
00:05:04.000 You're trying to teach other men to do the same.
00:05:07.000 And it feels to me authentic, like it comes from a real place.
00:05:11.000 So that's what I get off you.
00:05:13.000 And it's very, very compelling.
00:05:15.000 I don't take any shit attitude.
00:05:16.000 I'm going to say whatever the hell I want.
00:05:18.000 And in the culture right now, that's a very attractive thing.
00:05:24.000 But tell me about the other side of you.
00:05:27.000 Is there a sensitive side?
00:05:28.000 Is there an emotional side?
00:05:30.000 I think that the whole side you just described is driven by a soft side.
00:05:34.000 Like, why would I give a shit about.
00:05:37.000 You know, being strong or having to fight to protect the reason I care about being strong is so I can not only protect myself but protect people I care about.
00:05:45.000 The reason I want to be rich is not only so I can buy myself stuff so I can provide for my family, but every single position of strength comes with a derivative of softness underneath it.
00:05:54.000 There's some emotion involved in it.
00:05:56.000 If I was really a person who had no soft side whatsoever and I didn't give a fuck, I don't think I'd be the way I am.
00:06:01.000 I think I'd be complete opposite.
00:06:02.000 I think there are people like that who are so inherently selfish, but those people are not.
00:06:09.000 Successful people.
00:06:09.000 Those are people who sit on the couch all day, watch TV, smoke weed, and do nothing or go and rob grandmas.
00:06:15.000 Like, I don't consider myself an emotionally hard person.
00:06:19.000 I get called a sociopath all the time and a psychopath all the time.
00:06:22.000 I get called that, but I don't think people understand that there is a version of the world where you can feel things and really not give a fuck how you feel.
00:06:33.000 Like, if I feel sad, it does not change how I act and it does not change the things I do.
00:06:40.000 If I don't feel like going to the gym, I go to the gym.
00:06:42.000 If I don't feel like working, I will still work.
00:06:45.000 I lived in a world for 15 years where I didn't feel like fighting because my nose was broken, but I had to fight anyway.
00:06:51.000 So a lot of these people come to me and they say, Oh, but I feel this way.
00:06:54.000 I don't put a huge amount of importance on emotions.
00:06:57.000 It's not that I don't feel them, it's that I don't think they have much to do with anything at all.
00:07:02.000 If I wake up in a happy mood and I have a business to run and females to cater for and things to do, if I wake up in a sad mood, I have the same shit to do.
00:07:12.000 I'm going to get it done.
00:07:14.000 Where's the importance of it?
00:07:16.000 It's in my mind.
00:07:17.000 That's how I view it.
00:07:17.000 Like, how does it affect what I'm going to do?
00:07:19.000 Well, nothing.
00:07:20.000 It doesn't.
00:07:21.000 It's not going to affect how I live my life.
00:07:22.000 So why sit around and think about it?
00:07:25.000 This modern obsession with happiness is the number one problem with the world.
00:07:29.000 Because I don't, I really don't believe humans were ever evolved to be happy.
00:07:34.000 Were we?
00:07:35.000 Where, tell me, you're the expert, bro.
00:07:37.000 Where did it come?
00:07:38.000 Where did it come in our timeline that we were supposed to be happy all the time?
00:07:42.000 I agree with you.
00:07:44.000 I don't think happiness is the goal.
00:07:46.000 I think fulfillment is.
00:07:47.000 And I think following your purpose and, All the way through is what's going to give you fulfillment.
00:07:51.000 I think that's the highest thing in life.
00:07:53.000 I don't put too much stock in happiness, contentment, maybe.
00:07:58.000 You can look around and be like, look, I have a good life.
00:08:01.000 And you're right.
00:08:01.000 You can be very satisfied with what you have.
00:08:04.000 But to believe that as an adult, as a full grown man, you're going to feel constant happiness like you're a three year old child is asinine.
00:08:11.000 And all these people who are constantly complaining about how they feel probably don't have a spectrum of emotions much different to mine.
00:08:17.000 The difference is I don't sit around and cry about it because I don't live that kind of life.
00:08:21.000 I don't have that kind of conditioning in my mind.
00:08:23.000 I don't give a shit how I feel.
00:08:24.000 I have things to do.
00:08:25.000 But it's also the way you were raised.
00:08:27.000 And maybe if you were raised in a different way, you might be.
00:08:31.000 Different, and you might have a different relationship to your emotions.
00:08:34.000 Is that yeah?
00:08:34.000 If I was raised as a, I'm sure I would be a, but but I never was, and and and that's what most of these men are.
00:08:40.000 I'm being honest when people come to me, yeah, feel this way, you're a, oh, but I feel who gives a how you feel.
00:08:46.000 I'm about to break into your house, strangle your wife to death.
00:08:49.000 Who gives a how you feel?
00:08:51.000 Like your emotion has nothing to do with the harsh reality of this world.
00:08:54.000 You're either successful or you're not.
00:08:56.000 Life is binary, you either win or you lose, you survive or you don't.
00:09:00.000 These people are so obsessed with themselves and how they feel.
00:09:03.000 This is my whole problem with the depression thing.
00:09:05.000 On my old account, long time ago, when I was verified before I got banned, I set the world nuts when I said depression wasn't real.
00:09:12.000 And the world went crazy.
00:09:14.000 Every A list celebrity, you can still Google right now, depression isn't real, and all the tweets come up.
00:09:18.000 And my point was completely misunderstood.
00:09:21.000 And my point was very simple feeling depressed is real, that is a real thing.
00:09:27.000 And I truly believe that the reason you feel depressed is so that you are inspired into action.
00:09:33.000 You're unhappy with your surroundings and you're inspired.
00:09:36.000 This is the reason why you don't want to go to jail.
00:09:38.000 Both of us don't want to go to jail because we'll both be depressed because we don't like our situation.
00:09:42.000 It's a natural human instinct to make you work hard and try harder to build a life.
00:09:47.000 So when people come to me and go, Oh, I can't, I'm fat and I don't know what to do because I'm depressed.
00:09:52.000 I say, No, you're depressed because you're fat.
00:09:54.000 You go the other way around.
00:09:56.000 So that's the first thing.
00:09:57.000 Feeling depressed is real.
00:09:58.000 But this idea that you can walk through life and everything's fine and you can catch depression from the sky like a disease and it strikes your brain and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:10:07.000 And no matter how hard you try, you are depressed no matter what.
00:10:11.000 This is garbage.
00:10:12.000 This is complete garbage that's been propagated by the weak minded.
00:10:16.000 And the proof of this is that in countries with a harder life, where people are too busy struggling to survive, there's less depression.
00:10:24.000 It's only in these countries that have nothing else to fucking worry about.
00:10:27.000 If it was true the way they teach it, it would be universal across the human condition.
00:10:30.000 It isn't.
00:10:31.000 So basically, your life's so good, the only thing you have to do is sit around and worry about why you're not happy enough.
00:10:38.000 It's bullshit.
00:10:40.000 The whole.
00:10:42.000 The whole industry, the whole way we view depression, the way we view happiness, the way we view sadness is all garbage from head to toe.
00:10:48.000 I think it's all bullshit.
00:10:49.000 We can throw the whole thing out the window.
00:10:51.000 And I start again when people come to me and say about happiness, and I say, Who the fuck said you should be happy in the first place?
00:10:57.000 Who even said you should be?
00:10:58.000 I don't care if you're sad.
00:11:00.000 I never told you you should be happy.
00:11:01.000 How many push ups can you do?
00:11:04.000 Not enough.
00:11:04.000 Get to fucking work.
00:11:06.000 So this is my whole view on the whole field.
00:11:09.000 Is there anything that you struggle with?
00:11:13.000 No.
00:11:15.000 Really?
00:11:16.000 Doubt?
00:11:17.000 Any doubt, fear?
00:11:20.000 I'm a realist.
00:11:21.000 So, like before I would fight, I would be very nervous and I would hate the idea of losing because I have an ego.
00:11:27.000 But it's also my ego that puts me in there in the first place.
00:11:30.000 Because you're not going to risk your life for a few thousand dollars if you haven't got a fucking ego.
00:11:35.000 That's why fighters have egos.
00:11:36.000 Because we all believe we're supermen.
00:11:38.000 But then the idea of losing, this is why fighters end up depressed and suicidal and doing drugs and stuff because you lose.
00:11:44.000 It's hard to tolerate when your whole personality is based on being hard to kill and that gets shattered.
00:11:51.000 It's like losing a loved one, it hurts.
00:11:54.000 So, yeah, I feel fear, I feel nerves, all those things, but I'll do things anyway.
00:12:00.000 Do I struggle with anything in general in life?
00:12:03.000 No, because I'm an intelligent person who's motivated.
00:12:07.000 And listen, if you're going to try hard at something, and I mean genuinely try, 99% of people will get adept at X thing.
00:12:17.000 It doesn't matter what it is.
00:12:19.000 If I decided I wanted to be good at piano and I gave it everything I got, I'd be able to play piano.
00:12:23.000 Mm hmm.
00:12:24.000 Do you know what I mean?
00:12:25.000 Like, there's people with one hand who can play piano.
00:12:27.000 It's just how much effort you're going to put in.
00:12:30.000 I don't struggle at anything because if I decide I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it.
00:12:33.000 And I've never struggled with motivation.
00:12:34.000 So, if you don't struggle with motivation, then you're never going to struggle with anything in life.
00:12:38.000 I mean, I'm naturally adept at some things, and there's some things I'm not as naturally adept at.
00:12:42.000 But if you're prepared to work, you're prepared to work.
00:12:44.000 So, no, I don't struggle with anything.
00:12:45.000 Life is not a struggle to me.
00:12:46.000 I do not view life as difficult in any way.
00:12:49.000 I think life is extremely easy.
00:12:51.000 What about fear?
00:12:53.000 Fear of what?
00:12:54.000 Do you have fear?
00:12:55.000 I don't like heights.
00:12:56.000 I'm scared of heights.
00:12:59.000 Does that count?
00:13:01.000 That counts.
00:13:02.000 But I will still do things involving heights.
00:13:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:06.000 You know, like I'm scared, but I'll still do it.
00:13:07.000 Like I'll measure the risk.
00:13:08.000 Like, will I walk on the edge of a cliff?
00:13:10.000 No.
00:13:11.000 But if I'm on a bridge and there's a barrier and I know I'm probably not going to fall, even if I feel vertigo and I'm scared, I'll still do it.
00:13:17.000 Yeah.
00:13:18.000 But in terms of, I mean, I feel like these questions, correct me if I'm wrong, this is the kind of questions that like psychiatrists throw at people and they come at you with some.
00:13:27.000 Bullshit.
00:13:29.000 I'm scared of failing or being on.
00:13:32.000 I don't know what garbage people say.
00:13:33.000 Scared of what?
00:13:35.000 I don't know what I'm scared of a tiger.
00:13:36.000 If he breaks in my house, I'll be a bit afraid, like maybe, but I'll have to fight back.
00:13:40.000 Why don't I just try and fuck him up?
00:13:42.000 I don't know what it is.
00:13:43.000 Scared of what?
00:13:45.000 Fair enough.
00:13:45.000 Fair enough.
00:13:46.000 What do you make of it when you've gone to psychoanalysis before?
00:13:49.000 You said people called you a sociopath, a psychopath.
00:13:52.000 Yeah.
00:13:52.000 So my problem with the whole field is I don't believe in any of this stuff.
00:13:56.000 Yeah.
00:13:56.000 Yeah.
00:13:57.000 And the reason I don't believe in it is very simple is that it's not an exact science.
00:14:01.000 So, two plus two is always four.
00:14:03.000 Yeah.
00:14:03.000 I mean, okay, in very extreme versions of math, it's not, but it's a simple version of saying two plus two is four.
00:14:08.000 Whereas with this kind of stuff, you can have a man who doesn't drink because his dad's an alcoholic, and you can have a man who's an alcoholic because his dad was an alcoholic.
00:14:17.000 Yeah.
00:14:18.000 You can have people who turned out like me because their father was strict, and you can have people who completely go off the rails because their father was strict.
00:14:24.000 Yeah.
00:14:24.000 So, I mean, I've gone through these kind of things before, and I said this, and their answer was, That's true, but there's general rules within people.
00:14:34.000 There's patterns we can identify.
00:14:37.000 That's what they said.
00:14:37.000 I don't know if that's the correct answer.
00:14:39.000 Maybe you have a different answer.
00:14:41.000 Is that the truth?
00:14:42.000 I think all children, in some way, adapt to their childhood.
00:14:45.000 They make themselves into something to please their parents.
00:14:50.000 Okay, I would agree with that.
00:14:51.000 Yeah, I actually agree with that.
00:14:52.000 That's true.
00:14:53.000 Yeah.
00:14:53.000 So, in the process of making yourself something to please your parents, maybe there's a part of you that you denied.
00:15:01.000 Right, that you cut off from that, and it happened at such an early age, you're not even aware of it.
00:15:06.000 Okay, but what if the part of me I denied was a part of me I didn't need?
00:15:10.000 What if the part of me I denied was lazy?
00:15:12.000 What if part of me I denied was the pussy?
00:15:15.000 What if he's been gone since from a long time and I've just been formed deliberately into this brilliance?
00:15:20.000 Then is there anything negative about that?
00:15:22.000 Not necessarily, but there is a part of you.
00:15:26.000 Maybe there's good things in there that were denied that would be useful to you.
00:15:30.000 Like what?
00:15:31.000 I don't know.
00:15:32.000 I don't know.
00:15:33.000 All I know for me, when I, I'll tell you what happened for me.
00:15:37.000 When I went all the way into my emotions, the work that I do is very psychologically intense.
00:15:42.000 It's not talk therapy, it's very physical.
00:15:44.000 So, you hit things, you punch, you kick.
00:15:47.000 And if you have rage and you go all the way into the rage, right, which I did, it revealed to me all of these pent up emotions that I had rage towards my mother, disappointment around my father.
00:16:02.000 And I realized for me, these unconscious emotions were running my life.
00:16:07.000 It's what was motivating me.
00:16:09.000 And once I released them, I came into contact with a kind of a deeper self, a truer self, and I felt more free.
00:16:17.000 That's just for me.
00:16:18.000 So, but that's the information that I got from my personal experience.
00:16:21.000 Don't you miss your anger?
00:16:23.000 But I don't give up my anger.
00:16:24.000 It's always there, it's always available to me, right?
00:16:27.000 Because anger is a fantastic motivator.
00:16:29.000 It is a fantastic motivator.
00:16:31.000 And so much of what I got out of my life was motivated by trying to make my mother happier, trying to win the love of my father.
00:16:38.000 And I got a lot from it.
00:16:40.000 But then I realized, why am I doing this?
00:16:42.000 You know, am I doing this for me or am I doing this to make them happy?
00:16:46.000 And that was a big question.
00:16:49.000 You know, and so I and I, because of the people that I work with, I see this over and over and over again.
00:16:54.000 And it's, it's, it's an experiential thing.
00:16:57.000 So it's not that people are even thinking it.
00:16:59.000 It just, this stuff just comes out of you spontaneously.
00:17:03.000 If I had a son, I would expect him to dedicate his life to make me happy because I brought him on earth.
00:17:09.000 So how could he not want to do anything other than, how could he think, I don't care what my dad thinks?
00:17:13.000 He should only think, I need to, I need to be up to my father's standard.
00:17:17.000 How, how could he exist any other way?
00:17:20.000 Well, that's a philosophy.
00:17:22.000 And another philosophy could be I'm going to support him to do whatever he wants.
00:17:26.000 What if he does dumb shit?
00:17:28.000 Well, that's his choice.
00:17:30.000 Is it?
00:17:31.000 Yeah.
00:17:31.000 This is my point.
00:17:32.000 Is it my child's choice to do dumb shit?
00:17:34.000 You could guide him in the right direction, certainly.
00:17:37.000 Is it?
00:17:37.000 It was a really important point.
00:17:38.000 So is it his choice to do dumb shit?
00:17:41.000 I don't think it is.
00:17:42.000 I brought him on the planet.
00:17:44.000 He carries my last name.
00:17:45.000 I'm the one who keeps him alive.
00:17:47.000 The only reason he has somewhere to sleep and food to eat is because I provide it for him.
00:17:51.000 So, if I tell him he's not allowed to be a pussy and he needs to do his push ups, he has to do it.
00:17:54.000 On what planet am I going to negotiate with some child who thinks they know more than me?
00:18:00.000 Absolutely not.
00:18:01.000 I'm not going to have some 14 year old kid say, Well, I want to do something else.
00:18:04.000 You don't know anything about the world.
00:18:05.000 You're 14.
00:18:06.000 You're going to do as you're fucking told.
00:18:08.000 Are you curious about any of the places inside you that you may not know about?
00:18:13.000 Any.
00:18:16.000 I don't believe they exist.
00:18:17.000 I think I know myself.
00:18:19.000 I really do.
00:18:20.000 You have to understand that I've tested myself on a limit, physically, especially.
00:18:24.000 Where most people have never been.
00:18:26.000 Most people have never been where I've been.
00:18:28.000 Most people haven't done what I've done.
00:18:30.000 I know if I'm a coward or not.
00:18:31.000 I know if I'm afraid.
00:18:32.000 I know myself.
00:18:33.000 I've been hurt.
00:18:34.000 I've been stabbed.
00:18:35.000 I've had my face broken.
00:18:37.000 I broke my hand in six places and fought another eight rounds.
00:18:40.000 I left there and had emergency surgery with 12 breaks in my hand.
00:18:43.000 I know what I can do.
00:18:44.000 I know everything about myself.
00:18:46.000 There's nothing more spiritual than violence.
00:18:48.000 This is the most spiritual thing on the planet violence.
00:18:51.000 Violence is the universal of the human condition, it's the constant.
00:18:54.000 It's always been there, it will always be there.
00:18:56.000 I get people ask me this all the time.
00:18:57.000 I want to look for more spiritual meaning.
00:18:59.000 I say, okay, go down to a fighter's gym, get your ass kicked, and then try and do something about it.
00:19:04.000 There's all the spirituality you need.
00:19:06.000 You've got to stay breathing when someone's trying to kill you.
00:19:08.000 That's spirituality.
00:19:09.000 I understand myself completely.
00:19:11.000 I don't feel like there's any part of me that has been hidden or suppressed.
00:19:15.000 Just because I am, like you said, I'm very clearly a certain way, very clearly dominant, I don't think there's a part of me that's hidden or suppressed.
00:19:23.000 And maybe, not maybe, in fact, I will say certainly, I've been conditioned to be this way.
00:19:27.000 But I think I've been raised for exceptionalism.
00:19:31.000 Since as young as I can remember, I've been raised to be exceptional.
00:19:34.000 When I, I'll give you an example.
00:19:37.000 So I tell stories about my dad, and people often say he was way too harsh.
00:19:40.000 I thank the Lord above I had the father I had.
00:19:44.000 So when I got moved up three grades in school, they moved me up because in the SATs, I got, it was like 400 questions and I got two wrong.
00:19:51.000 And my dad gave me $20 and then he took $5 back for the two I got wrong, five each.
00:19:56.000 So I had $10 stolen.
00:19:58.000 And his lesson was you still got two wrong.
00:20:01.000 He was a perfectionist.
00:20:02.000 Now, why was he a perfectionist?
00:20:04.000 Well, it's because he was a chess grandmaster.
00:20:06.000 And in chess, it's perfection or you lose.
00:20:08.000 Why did I become a four time kickboxing world champion?
00:20:10.000 Well, because.
00:20:11.000 It's perfection or you lose.
00:20:12.000 There is no, it's okay to be a little, there's no sloppiness in fighting.
00:20:16.000 One shot's over.
00:20:17.000 Same thing with chess.
00:20:18.000 There's no sloppy.
00:20:19.000 One little, you lose control of one square, the game's over.
00:20:23.000 I've lived in a perfectionist realm since the dawn of time.
00:20:26.000 So my whole entire life has been a perfectionist life.
00:20:29.000 This is how I view my life.
00:20:30.000 And I don't think any other way to accept the world is okay.
00:20:33.000 I don't think it's okay to be okay with losing or okay with less than the best.
00:20:38.000 I don't think any of that's acceptable.
00:20:39.000 I can't stand it.
00:20:40.000 But for you, it's not acceptable for you.
00:20:43.000 Because I've been raised this way, but this is the point.
00:20:45.000 My son will be exactly the same.
00:20:48.000 He has no choice because he's a Tate, and Tates go on into eternity to rule the earth.
00:20:54.000 How can he be anything else?
00:20:55.000 Well, yeah, and you're an exceptional guy.
00:20:58.000 You're an athlete.
00:20:59.000 You're hyper intelligent, attractive to women.
00:21:03.000 You've got it all, but the vast majority of men are ordinary.
00:21:07.000 And at this point, they have to come to terms with their ordinariness.
00:21:11.000 Absolutely.
00:21:12.000 No, that's true.
00:21:13.000 But this is a very interesting point because.
00:21:17.000 I personally could never come to terms with being ordinary.
00:21:20.000 Why not?
00:21:21.000 I couldn't tolerate it.
00:21:22.000 Why?
00:21:23.000 Because it would be the worst.
00:21:25.000 It's like the worst possible sentencing.
00:21:29.000 So that's your fear.
00:21:30.000 I don't know if it's a fear.
00:21:31.000 I'm just telling you a life I would want to live.
00:21:34.000 Because I was ordinary financially.
00:21:36.000 Like I wasn't born rich, I was born to a very poor family, as smart as my father was.
00:21:40.000 Chess doesn't pay.
00:21:42.000 He also loved gambling, women, and booze.
00:21:44.000 So you add all that up.
00:21:46.000 We were very, very poor.
00:21:47.000 Me, my mother, and my brother, when we moved to England, we grew up in a homeless hostel.
00:21:51.000 So, I grew up at the very end of the socioeconomic ladder.
00:21:53.000 I had a worse start than 99% of people.
00:21:56.000 But I lived my life when I was poor, furious at the fact I was poor.
00:22:02.000 Because my ego, and I'll be honest, my ego is at a point where I didn't understand how other people can afford Ferraris and I can't.
00:22:10.000 I would be 18, walk into college, and a Ferrari would drive past and it would ruin my week.
00:22:15.000 And everyone would be like, What's wrong with you?
00:22:17.000 They'd be like, Don't you see this fat fuck can buy a Ferrari and I can't?
00:22:22.000 Why?
00:22:23.000 He's not a better man.
00:22:24.000 He's not a better person than me.
00:22:26.000 I'm just as good as him, if not better.
00:22:28.000 I couldn't stand the fact that there are people who could do things I couldn't.
00:22:32.000 So, this gave me unlimited motivation to get rich.
00:22:34.000 Now, I found a way to get rich, and I believe that anyone who really, really, truly wants to get rich will get rich one way or another.
00:22:40.000 But that's because it bothered me for the first 10 years.
00:22:42.000 You know, my 20s, I was broke most of them.
00:22:45.000 I was broke most of my 20s.
00:22:46.000 So, I couldn't stand being ordinary.
00:22:48.000 And my question is this you're saying ordinary people need to come in terms of their ordinariness.
00:22:51.000 I don't think they do.
00:22:52.000 I think they need to become extraordinary.
00:22:55.000 I think they need to try harder.
00:22:57.000 This is the greatest thing.
00:22:58.000 It's the greatest and worst thing about being a man is that all of your value is built.
00:23:04.000 If you're a woman, you're born beautiful, game's over.
00:23:06.000 You're born pretty, that's it.
00:23:08.000 It's done.
00:23:09.000 You have your value.
00:23:10.000 Now you have six or seven years, you're valuable.
00:23:12.000 You could be a moron, you're still in a billionaire's boat because you're hot.
00:23:16.000 Done.
00:23:17.000 As a man, it doesn't matter if you're born good looking.
00:23:20.000 If you're stupid and weak and broke, you're still going to struggle.
00:23:24.000 It doesn't matter if you're born rich.
00:23:27.000 Like I said, if you're still stupid, weak, socially inept, as a man, you need to have an all.
00:23:31.000 You need to have wisdom.
00:23:32.000 You need to be funny.
00:23:34.000 You need to be tall.
00:23:35.000 Well, tall is one thing you can't fix.
00:23:36.000 Strong, good looking helps.
00:23:39.000 They like the idea of you being able to fight.
00:23:40.000 You need interesting stories.
00:23:41.000 You need money.
00:23:42.000 You need freedom to be able to say to a girl, fuck it, we're going to Moscow, pack now.
00:23:46.000 You need all these things.
00:23:47.000 And a lot of that is self built.
00:23:49.000 Not all of it, but a lot of it is.
00:23:51.000 So when I speak to ordinary people, I say, well, how are you trying to stop yourself from being ordinary?
00:23:55.000 And a lot of them aren't.
00:23:57.000 Well, you know, well, then what the fuck are you going to live an ordinary life if you have ordinary results?
00:24:03.000 I couldn't tolerate that.
00:24:04.000 You could give me, I already had a very bad financial start, I had a huge advantage genetically.
00:24:11.000 But even if I had a huge genetic disadvantage, there's no way I would have been a normal person.
00:24:16.000 One way or another.
00:24:18.000 No way.
00:24:19.000 Because I know life's too short for that shit.
00:24:22.000 I want people to, I couldn't live that way.
00:24:24.000 And I don't know why people are trying to come to terms with that.
00:24:26.000 I don't think you should.
00:24:27.000 I think you should be constantly pushing to be extraordinary, no matter who you are.
00:24:31.000 Is there anything that you want that you don't have?
00:24:35.000 I'm very happy with where I am in my life.
00:24:38.000 I'm very happy with what I've achieved.
00:24:40.000 I know how hard I worked to get here.
00:24:42.000 I know how difficult it was.
00:24:44.000 And do I have a talent for some of the things I've done?
00:24:46.000 Yes.
00:24:47.000 But talent is only identified in the top 3%.
00:24:51.000 Like people say this, I had this all the time, oh, but Tate, you're lucky you can fight.
00:24:56.000 I'm like, what do you mean lucky?
00:24:57.000 We didn't find out I could fight or not until I'd already trained for 10 years.
00:25:00.000 Because until the hard work's done, that's where you see the talent.
00:25:04.000 At the beginning, everyone has to work hard.
00:25:05.000 Because if I do no work and someone who's not talented works hard, they're going to beat me.
00:25:10.000 So we have to both work our asses off till we're at the very, very top tier.
00:25:13.000 And the only way I can get ahead of them is talent.
00:25:16.000 So, talent doesn't appear to the end anyway.
00:25:19.000 Most people haven't worked hard enough at anything to even identify that talent.
00:25:23.000 There's loads of people who could be extremely talented at shit, but they're too lazy to even do the basics.
00:25:27.000 So, most people don't even know their own talents, you know?
00:25:30.000 So, I'm super happy with what I've achieved.
00:25:33.000 I'm super happy with what I am.
00:25:34.000 Do I want more?
00:25:35.000 Well, I'm always going to want more, of course.
00:25:37.000 But is there anything particularly I want that I don't have?
00:25:40.000 No.
00:25:41.000 I pretty much have everything I want.
00:25:42.000 And I gave it all to myself.
00:25:44.000 This is what I mean because I wouldn't accept being ordinary.
00:25:46.000 This is my point.
00:25:47.000 This is my exact point.
00:25:48.000 My life was ordinary, bro.
00:25:50.000 My life is ordinary.
00:25:50.000 I was my mom and dad split up.
00:25:52.000 I'm in a homeless house.
00:25:54.000 I'm in a shit school.
00:25:56.000 Me and my brother and my mom and my sister were living in some homeless hostel.
00:25:59.000 I didn't know how to fight.
00:26:00.000 I had no money.
00:26:01.000 I'm a normal, skinny kid.
00:26:03.000 And then I became kickboxing world champion, multimillionaire.
00:26:06.000 That was all me.
00:26:08.000 And it's all because I sat there and goes, nah, fuck this.
00:26:11.000 So I think everyone else could do the same.
00:26:13.000 You know, there's who's saying the guy watching this right now would not be a better fighter than me if they didn't go fight?
00:26:18.000 Maybe.
00:26:20.000 Probably not, let's be honest.
00:26:22.000 But maybe.
00:26:23.000 But they don't try.
00:26:23.000 They don't go.
00:26:24.000 They're pussies.
00:26:25.000 They're too afraid.
00:26:25.000 They're too afraid to even go and fucking get punched.
00:26:27.000 So they'll never know.
00:26:28.000 And that's the life they want to live because they'd rather be ordinary.
00:26:30.000 I couldn't live ordinary, bro.
00:26:31.000 I couldn't even do it.
00:26:33.000 Couldn't even do it.
00:26:34.000 Where do you go for support?
00:26:37.000 Support in what way?
00:26:39.000 I don't know.
00:26:39.000 Like just you're having a hard day or you're confused about something or you need some reflection.
00:26:46.000 I mean, maybe you don't have that with your career, but with women?
00:26:50.000 Do you struggle with women at all?
00:26:51.000 I mean, I know you have lots of women, but.
00:26:55.000 No.
00:26:57.000 And I don't want you to think I'm being any kind of bravado at all because I'm being completely honest with you.
00:27:01.000 Yeah.
00:27:02.000 I used to go to my dad until he died.
00:27:04.000 He died like five years ago.
00:27:06.000 So, since the day he died, I have not seeked support from anybody ever once.
00:27:11.000 The day he died, I became the number one student, I became the greatest man on earth.
00:27:18.000 And at the top of the mountain, there's no one to look up to.
00:27:22.000 And that's fine.
00:27:22.000 I mean, I have tons of people who come to me.
00:27:26.000 Everyone you can name comes to me.
00:27:27.000 But if I'm having a hard day, I never sit and think I need to talk to this person.
00:27:31.000 Even if I have like my brother and some people I'll talk to, I may be venting a little bit, but I'm certainly not looking for advice on what to do.
00:27:38.000 I always make the call on what to do.
00:27:40.000 I always already know what to do.
00:27:42.000 I don't go to anyone for support.
00:27:44.000 I don't turn to people for support.
00:27:46.000 I don't turn to my woman for support.
00:27:49.000 I think one of the main reasons I have such a fantastic relationship with females is because I never ask them for that shit.
00:27:55.000 I really believe the reason I have the adoration of females is because they're with a man who they never have to babysit.
00:28:02.000 They never have to motivate.
00:28:03.000 They never have to convince to put the video games down.
00:28:06.000 They never have to sit and say to him, Oh, it's going to be okay.
00:28:09.000 Like, I'm a rock.
00:28:11.000 My life's great and it's on track with or without you.
00:28:14.000 And I'm fine all the time.
00:28:15.000 And when I have huge problems, because they do come up, I don't even mention it to my women.
00:28:21.000 Because what can a woman do anyway?
00:28:23.000 I mean, I'm mentioning it to her to feel better.
00:28:25.000 I mean, she can't fix my shit.
00:28:27.000 So I wouldn't even, if I, let's say I lost $3 million in a day, which has happened before, I didn't even tell my girl.
00:28:34.000 What's the fucking point?
00:28:35.000 What am I looking for?
00:28:36.000 Sympathy?
00:28:37.000 Sympathy ain't gonna buy me money.
00:28:38.000 I ain't gonna put the money in the bank.
00:28:40.000 So, what the fuck?
00:28:42.000 Say again?
00:28:43.000 Comfort.
00:28:45.000 Do I need that shit?
00:28:47.000 I need my free meal back.
00:28:48.000 That's what I need.
00:28:50.000 Like, I'm a solutions based man.
00:28:52.000 You tell me who I can talk to about getting my money back, and I'll talk.
00:28:55.000 I didn't talk to my cheek about it.
00:28:57.000 She was, oh, oh, yeah, Bitcoin.
00:29:00.000 Oh, I'll make you a coffee, dear.
00:29:01.000 The thing ain't gonna fucking help me.
00:29:03.000 So, I don't turn to people for support or comfort.
00:29:07.000 I don't.
00:29:08.000 And I know that makes me extremely rare as an individual.
00:29:10.000 And it's not something I'm not trying to brag or put on like a brave face and be a tough guy or something.
00:29:16.000 It's just not how I'm conditioned.
00:29:18.000 I believe that all of my problems are going to be fixed by me, that no one else is going to wake up and give a fuck about my problems the way I'm going to give a fuck.
00:29:29.000 Nobody else is going to be prepared to go through what it takes to fix them but me.
00:29:33.000 If I'm in the ring getting an ass kicking, not my coach, not my corner, not my fans, no one's going to get me out of there alive but me.
00:29:41.000 That is me.
00:29:42.000 So I turn to myself.
00:29:44.000 If I have a problem, I'll sit in silence on my own.
00:29:47.000 I'll turn to Andrew fucking Tate and he'll get it done.
00:29:51.000 Because that's really how I am.
00:29:53.000 I mean, I cannot think of the last time.
00:29:56.000 Tristan, when's the last time I've asked you for advice?
00:29:59.000 Like sat there and go, what do I do?
00:30:00.000 Never.
00:30:03.000 What should we do about this extra thing?
00:30:06.000 What should we do?
00:30:06.000 We've discussed our own moments.
00:30:09.000 Can you hear him?
00:30:10.000 What should we do?
00:30:12.000 Yeah, so he's saying we'll sit there and say, What should we do about this?
00:30:14.000 What should we do about that?
00:30:15.000 But that's more like bullshit, like travel plans or business or something.
00:30:19.000 But me personally saying, I don't know what to do, it's never, never, it's never even entered my mind.
00:30:25.000 I always know what to do.
00:30:27.000 What's your relationship like to love with women?
00:30:31.000 I absolutely, I have a, I have, I'm full of love.
00:30:34.000 I love women.
00:30:35.000 Now, I'm absolutely and utterly sexist.
00:30:38.000 I'll be honest.
00:30:39.000 I'm a realist and reality is sexist.
00:30:41.000 So a lot of people have this impression that I hate women, and that's completely incorrect.
00:30:45.000 I love women.
00:30:46.000 I just believe that there are certain things women are better at and certain things men are better at.
00:30:51.000 And I don't trust women the way I trust a man with certain things.
00:30:54.000 It doesn't mean I don't love women.
00:30:56.000 You know, like, so people say, oh, my woman's my best friend.
00:31:01.000 That will never happen for me.
00:31:02.000 My woman's my partner, and I love her in a romantic sense.
00:31:06.000 But she can never be my best friend.
00:31:08.000 My best friend's going to be a man, of course.
00:31:11.000 If shit really hits the fan, just like I said earlier, if I do have to turn to someone for help, Like I'm saying, I'll never ask for advice, but maybe I need help with something.
00:31:21.000 Then I'll go to my brother.
00:31:22.000 Why?
00:31:23.000 Because my brother's a six foot four, 250 pound, big, strong man.
00:31:27.000 What am I going to do with my little hawk girl?
00:31:29.000 What's she going to do?
00:31:30.000 Like, I don't see women as capable.
00:31:34.000 I'm not being, hey, shoot me.
00:31:36.000 I don't see women as capable.
00:31:37.000 It does not mean I hate them.
00:31:39.000 I just don't see them as emotionally capable.
00:31:41.000 I'm so emotionally, I don't want to use the word hard, but I'm so emotionally controlled that I don't view most men as capable, let alone women, because my number one strength in my life is my emotional control.
00:31:55.000 I can be on the Titanic and it can be sinking, and I'm still going to be sitting there thinking, okay, cool.
00:31:59.000 All right, all right, shut up.
00:32:01.000 What's the plan?
00:32:02.000 Stop screaming.
00:32:03.000 How okay, the water's cold.
00:32:04.000 Let's work out a let's do something.
00:32:07.000 Like, I'm a very rational person, and most men are not as rational as I, let alone females.
00:32:12.000 Women just lose it to emotionality, so I don't turn to women because all they do is scream, it's useless, pointless.
00:32:18.000 But they must meet your needs in some way, yeah.
00:32:21.000 I mean, they've got big titties, but sexual needs, beyond right, there's emotional needs, yeah.
00:32:28.000 I mean, absolutely, women have a healing energy, yeah, you know, like if you're sick.
00:32:34.000 You want a woman around.
00:32:35.000 This is what I mean.
00:32:36.000 If I'm sick and I'm in bed, I'm calling my girl, bring me this, bring me that.
00:32:41.000 I'm sick, blah, blah, blah.
00:32:42.000 Women have a time and a place and an energy, and they're very, very valuable to a man's life.
00:32:47.000 In fact, I say this all the time if you have a bad relationship with women, it's the easiest way to ruin your life as a man.
00:32:55.000 You can be Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, lost half his net worth to some bimbo because he has a bad relationship with women.
00:33:02.000 So if you struggle to, Have sex and you struggle to get a partner and you struggle to have someone who genuinely loves you, and your girl's constantly cheating on you, and all these things, you're not going to enjoy your life as a man because life as a man is about conquest, and females are part of the conquest.
00:33:18.000 That's what it was all about, bro.
00:33:19.000 Go in there, kill the men, take the girls.
00:33:20.000 That's what it's about.
00:33:22.000 So, yeah, you need a good relationship with women, of course.
00:33:25.000 So, my relationship with women is that I adore women and I adore women the same way I'll adore my children or my dog.
00:33:30.000 I love them, but I don't trust them with my fucking life.
00:33:33.000 That's my shit.
00:33:34.000 You know, you could adore your kids and really, you know, love them and care for them and want the best for them.
00:33:40.000 But you're not going to trust them in a combat situation.
00:33:42.000 You're going to call somebody else.
00:33:44.000 That is exactly the same with females.
00:33:45.000 I see myself as superior to females and not in a negative way.
00:33:50.000 I love them and I adore them and I want them around me, but in no way are they my equal.
00:33:55.000 And they know that when they're with me.
00:33:57.000 And they like me for that.
00:33:59.000 This is the crazy thing about it.
00:34:01.000 People will say, oh, you're sexist.
00:34:02.000 You're never going to get a girl that way.
00:34:03.000 I'm like, as soon as a woman finds a man she can look up to and go, okay, you know what?
00:34:07.000 This motherfucker's smart, he's strong, his life's in order.
00:34:11.000 He's never fucking up.
00:34:12.000 Everything's on track.
00:34:14.000 He's never messed up.
00:34:15.000 He's never had that big rehab moment.
00:34:16.000 He's not an alcoholic.
00:34:17.000 He's never done drugs.
00:34:18.000 His life is completely in order.
00:34:20.000 He's a multimillionaire and everything's on track for him.
00:34:22.000 And he knows more than me about everything.
00:34:25.000 I'm just going to shut up.
00:34:26.000 They like that.
00:34:27.000 They like saying, okay, he's the man.
00:34:29.000 So it's not even a problem for me in that respect.
00:34:32.000 And it's not an act I put on.
00:34:34.000 A lot of these guys in the, I don't know, male space are pretenders.
00:34:41.000 So they pretend to be something.
00:34:42.000 I am the man and she is the girl.
00:34:44.000 But they're all full of shit.
00:34:46.000 I proved my point a million times over.
00:34:48.000 You can YouTube me and you see me will pass.
00:34:50.000 I've proved it.
00:34:51.000 So, my relationship with women is I absolutely adore women, but I do not see them as my equal because I don't think they're capable like a man is.
00:34:59.000 You've taken a lot of risks to get where you are now.
00:35:02.000 Are there risks you need to take in the future?
00:35:04.000 Like, what are the risks you need to take?
00:35:06.000 Before we answer that question, let me ask you one question.
00:35:08.000 Yeah, please.
00:35:10.000 Because you're the expert on these things.
00:35:12.000 I'm not an expert.
00:35:13.000 I'm just, but go ahead.
00:35:14.000 There's a brand new airplane, it's an experimental airplane, and no one's ever flown it before.
00:35:19.000 And you're going to fly into the eye of a hurricane.
00:35:21.000 Uh huh.
00:35:22.000 Extremely risky.
00:35:23.000 50 50 chance of survival.
00:35:25.000 Uh huh.
00:35:25.000 Do you want a male pilot or a female pilot?
00:35:27.000 I want a male pilot.
00:35:29.000 Correct.
00:35:30.000 Yeah.
00:35:30.000 Now, does that make you a sexist?
00:35:33.000 I don't think you're a sexist.
00:35:35.000 I, I, look, I would, I might parse a few of the things that you said for nuance, but overall, there's an attitude and an energy that I think is correct.
00:35:45.000 I think we've gone way too far the other way.
00:35:48.000 I think feminism is turned into a bunch of bullshit.
00:35:52.000 I think men have baited themselves out.
00:35:55.000 And I think that's why women are angry and unhappy.
00:35:59.000 Primarily because men are not shown.
00:36:00.000 I totally agree with you.
00:36:01.000 Yeah.
00:36:01.000 No, that's.
00:36:02.000 Absolutely, my point of view, and I, you know, so I appreciate that you're saying that kind of thing out so strongly.
00:36:09.000 I think men need to hear it, and I agree with you.
00:36:11.000 When I bring my woman that kind of energy, she's turned on, they absolutely, yeah, because it's instinctualness, biological, and evolutionary, yeah, that's what they want, and and and you know, so you gotta be the man, you know, it's as simple as that.
00:36:25.000 And uh, when I asked you that airplane question, because most of the time I ask people, come and say, Well, why does it matter?
00:36:31.000 I say, You know, why it matters because you know, if it goes wrong, the man's going to be calmer.
00:36:37.000 Fucking with that joystick, then the woman would.
00:36:40.000 This is the harsh reality, and I don't want to die.
00:36:42.000 So I want a male pilot.
00:36:44.000 That's how it is.
00:36:45.000 That's just sorry.
00:36:46.000 And I've had people come at me and go crazy at me for that question.
00:36:49.000 You're sexist.
00:36:51.000 Maybe the woman's better, blah, blah.
00:36:52.000 I'm saying, well, look, in my view of things, if I had to choose, and I think if everyone's honest with themselves, they'd choose a man if they're honest.
00:36:59.000 Do you enjoy being provocative?
00:37:05.000 I think there's two answers to this question.
00:37:09.000 One, I have the ability to be provocative.
00:37:11.000 Most people don't.
00:37:13.000 I'm anti fragile.
00:37:14.000 I'm in Romania.
00:37:16.000 I'm a millionaire.
00:37:17.000 What are you going to do?
00:37:19.000 You know, like it's different if you're working a corporate job in America.
00:37:23.000 You know, you can get hit with emails and lose your job or some bullshit or some HR, human resources case, sexism.
00:37:31.000 I don't know, some garbage that goes on over there.
00:37:33.000 I'm pretty much as anti fragile as you can get.
00:37:36.000 You can come at me all day long.
00:37:39.000 It's nothing but entertainment for me.
00:37:41.000 So the fact that I am privileged, I feel like I need to exploit.
00:37:45.000 That's the first thing.
00:37:46.000 The second thing is, I genuinely mean everything I say.
00:37:51.000 It's not a matter of me sitting and going, How do I annoy everybody?
00:37:55.000 It's just how I view the world.
00:37:56.000 I mean it.
00:37:57.000 It's not like, How do I piss people off?
00:37:59.000 I genuinely mean it.
00:38:01.000 I really do mean it.
00:38:02.000 And if it upsets some people, then don't listen to me.
00:38:07.000 I don't force you to listen to me.
00:38:08.000 I don't force you to follow me.
00:38:10.000 But I'm going to say what I think because it's what I think.
00:38:12.000 Why would I not say what I think?
00:38:14.000 And I do my best to resist all forms of social programming.
00:38:18.000 Even down to the very most basic levels.
00:38:20.000 You know, I don't believe in any of that social programming bullshit because I know who I am and I know how I want to live.
00:38:25.000 And my happiness is derived from the fact that I'll do whatever I want.
00:38:29.000 If I want to sleep in bed with three women every night, I'm going to do it.
00:38:33.000 I don't give a fuck what you think.
00:38:34.000 And if you think that's wrong, if I can and I want to, I will.
00:38:37.000 You've got to do it.
00:38:38.000 You know, so because, and the anti fragility is a big part of that.
00:38:41.000 The fact that also there's nothing nobody can do about it.
00:38:44.000 So it makes it easier.
00:38:46.000 Yeah.
00:38:46.000 So I agree.
00:38:47.000 That's how you come off to me.
00:38:49.000 You can be provocative, but it's, It's real.
00:38:51.000 You're saying what you actually think.
00:38:54.000 And that said, you are provocative.
00:38:56.000 What's your intention?
00:38:57.000 Like, what in being provocative?
00:39:00.000 Because you have a platform.
00:39:02.000 You put yourself out there.
00:39:04.000 You're on Twitter.
00:39:05.000 You're saying this stuff out.
00:39:06.000 There must be a reason that you're doing it.
00:39:07.000 There must be an intention behind it, other than just, you know, we live in a time where it's like it's good to have a personal brand and that's going to help you out in the long term.
00:39:16.000 But beyond that, that's a really good question because there's almost two sides to this.
00:39:22.000 So I've been banned from Twitter nine times.
00:39:24.000 Each time I'm here, each time I'm banned, part of me is relieved.
00:39:28.000 Because it's noise, isn't it?
00:39:30.000 It's noise.
00:39:31.000 It's garbage.
00:39:31.000 It's noise.
00:39:32.000 It's bullshit.
00:39:33.000 It's idiots.
00:39:34.000 It's like there's a whole bunch of noise that you remove from your life and you remove a lot of these things.
00:39:39.000 And part of me is contented with that.
00:39:42.000 But I think it's just the battle element of it all.
00:39:46.000 I'm arguing online and I'm saying what I think online for the same reason every other human is.
00:39:50.000 There's an element of battle to it, there's an element of no, this is how it should be.
00:39:55.000 And I don't take it too seriously.
00:39:57.000 I don't let anyone annoy me or bother me in the real world.
00:40:00.000 But why do I do it?
00:40:02.000 I think to a degree, we're all on social media for the wrong reasons.
00:40:05.000 I don't think there's any right reason.
00:40:07.000 If we were all truly, completely contented, happy individuals, why would any of us have a Twitter account in the first place?
00:40:12.000 To tell people we don't know what we think about shit that, to attract hate, to get insults.
00:40:19.000 Why are we all on there?
00:40:20.000 There's no healthy reason.
00:40:22.000 If anyone with a brain would just delete it and say, this is bullshit, bye.
00:40:25.000 You know, like, so it's either for money or for attention or because you feel like you enjoy the fray.
00:40:31.000 I mean, I didn't start a Twitter account until I retired from fighting.
00:40:34.000 Maybe that'll tell you something.
00:40:37.000 But yeah, there's an element to it which I certainly enjoy.
00:40:41.000 And it's good to make people think and view things in a different way.
00:40:44.000 And I also really enjoy the fact that I'm very hard to argue with because I have so much imperial evidence, I have so much evidence.
00:40:53.000 I can produce metrics.
00:40:55.000 It's difficult to argue with me about things.
00:40:58.000 I say X.
00:40:59.000 Oh, yeah, well, blah, blah, blah.
00:41:00.000 Okay, well, I'm part black, so I'm not racist.
00:41:02.000 I'm successful, so obviously I'm not stupid.
00:41:05.000 Like, I could pull so many things out the bag.
00:41:08.000 It's very difficult for them to argue with the guy who has his life sewed together, if that makes sense.
00:41:12.000 If I say a sexist comment and then I say, oh, yeah, okay, here's my three women.
00:41:17.000 We're all chilling watching a movie.
00:41:20.000 Like, what can they come back with?
00:41:21.000 Yeah, but they don't love you.
00:41:22.000 Like, they come back with some garbage.
00:41:24.000 So I have a lot of proof I can pull out the bag to piss people off, which is also kind of fun.
00:41:28.000 I get the sense you're also trying to inspire people.
00:41:31.000 Yeah, because, and I don't know if I do it from a philanthropist.
00:41:36.000 I don't know if I'm a philanthropist.
00:41:37.000 I don't know if I wake up and I'm a philanthropist, but I certainly do believe that happiness as a man, I can only talk for myself.
00:41:48.000 But my happiness is derived from having this massive ego, which I've proved.
00:41:54.000 I didn't just, I'm not, I'm not, look, there's a lot of people with egos who are jackasses because they ain't dumb shit.
00:42:00.000 But when people, Mike Tyson in his prime, everyone goes, who he was an ego, duh.
00:42:04.000 It's Mike fucking Tyson.
00:42:06.000 And his pro.
00:42:06.000 How are you not going to have an ego?
00:42:09.000 You're from the projects.
00:42:09.000 You just fucked everyone up and you got billions of dollars.
00:42:12.000 Like, I like that.
00:42:13.000 And I think that most men, if they want to feel happier, they need to give themselves a reason to brag about shit.
00:42:20.000 And they're going to start to feel a little bit happier.
00:42:22.000 So maybe it's just me, you know, venting.
00:42:24.000 I love to go online and brag.
00:42:27.000 I certainly do.
00:42:27.000 I love to buy a new car and go and say, look, third Lambo.
00:42:30.000 Ha.
00:42:31.000 I'm so rich.
00:42:32.000 Ha, ha, ha.
00:42:33.000 You know, it makes me, part of me enjoys that.
00:42:35.000 And if that inspires people, then good.
00:42:38.000 I absolutely should inspire people.
00:42:40.000 Just like when the guy in the Ferrari drove past me and went on my way to college, he inspired me.
00:42:45.000 He pissed me off, but he inspired me at the same time.
00:42:48.000 So, you know, if my bragging inspires people, I absolutely, unutterably encourage that.
00:42:54.000 You know, I certainly should inspire people.
00:42:56.000 I'd love to see that.
00:42:57.000 But I don't know if I'm directly philanthropic in that way.
00:43:02.000 However, if someone comes to me and asks for advice, I'll always tell them what to do.
00:43:04.000 I'll always say, look, this is what you should do.
00:43:06.000 If I was you, I would do X, Y, Z, da, But a lot of them don't listen because it requires work and people are work averse, and that's humans.
00:43:13.000 So, I get the feeling just intuitively that you care about people.
00:43:19.000 Like, you care.
00:43:21.000 You do want to inspire people for your own, not just for your own ego, not just from your own ego, because there's something inside you that you want to give.
00:43:32.000 Yeah, I mean, there's something you know.
00:43:35.000 There's something you learn from your experiences growing up the way you did and all the experiences you had as a fighter and what you went through.
00:43:41.000 And especially in a culture that's gone completely the other way.
00:43:45.000 You know, counter to discipline and masculinity, you've completely claimed that space.
00:43:50.000 And so there's something to teach others.
00:43:54.000 No, you're right.
00:43:55.000 But you're completely right.
00:43:56.000 So, my point is this when I teach others, I relive it myself and it makes me happy.
00:44:04.000 So, am I teaching selflessly?
00:44:06.000 This is the question.
00:44:07.000 It's even like if I give to charity, if I give to charity, am I doing it because I'm a good person or am I doing it because it makes me feel good?
00:44:13.000 It's a philosophical question.
00:44:15.000 Like, even if I've done this before, when I was in Austin, Texas, I was in InfoWars, I was in Austin, Texas.
00:44:20.000 And I couldn't believe how many homeless there were.
00:44:22.000 And I got a $100 bill out and I gave it to a homeless guy.
00:44:25.000 And he started to go, no, thank you, thank you.
00:44:27.000 And I thought, like, I didn't film it like most dickheads would.
00:44:30.000 I didn't film it.
00:44:31.000 I'm not looking for likes, none of that stuff.
00:44:33.000 But then I went and had a Starbucks.
00:44:34.000 I'm sitting there thinking, did I give, I genuinely thought, did I give him $100 for him or did I do it because it doesn't really matter to me because I got so much money and it makes me feel happy?
00:44:43.000 Like, is it selfless to give to charity?
00:44:44.000 I don't know.
00:44:44.000 I don't think anything is selfless.
00:44:46.000 Everything is done for yourself.
00:44:48.000 So as much as I'm helping others and inspiring others, and as positive as they feel from that, Being brutally honest, am I doing it for them or for me?
00:44:56.000 I'm probably still doing it for me, but it's just good all around.
00:45:00.000 So that's what I mean when I say I'm not a philanthropist.
00:45:04.000 It's not that I'm not helping others.
00:45:05.000 It's not that I don't want to help others, but I love to relive.
00:45:08.000 Like right now, my cousin lives with me and I'm teaching him how to fight.
00:45:11.000 The more I teach him, the more I relive the shit I went through.
00:45:14.000 So it makes me happy.
00:45:15.000 But do you know what I mean?
00:45:17.000 Maybe it's all done from an extremely selfish place.
00:45:21.000 I don't know, but I'm still doing it.
00:45:22.000 And if it's a net benefit for everybody, then good.
00:45:25.000 But I still believe that people do everything for themselves.
00:45:28.000 I think everyone's selfish at the end of it all.
00:45:30.000 So, beyond the money and the women and the cars and the success, what is your mission?
00:45:40.000 I think every man has the same mission.
00:45:42.000 I think humans are biologically designed to reproduce.
00:45:45.000 And my mission is to create offspring which replicate me to the best they can, if not be improvements upon myself.
00:45:53.000 And I think that's really the point of life.
00:45:55.000 I think.
00:45:57.000 I couldn't understand.
00:45:58.000 Do you have children?
00:45:59.000 Sorry, you're going to be asking.
00:46:00.000 No.
00:46:00.000 Do you want kids?
00:46:02.000 Yeah.
00:46:03.000 Yeah.
00:46:04.000 So I think that that's the ultimate end goal of adulthood.
00:46:10.000 Some people don't want children.
00:46:11.000 I don't understand.
00:46:13.000 They're the people who I'd be interested to talk to.
00:46:15.000 Because if you don't have kids, what do you do?
00:46:16.000 What are you going to do?
00:46:17.000 I mean, how many steaks can you eat?
00:46:18.000 How many holidays can you go on?
00:46:20.000 I don't know.
00:46:21.000 But I think that's the end goal of all, isn't it?
00:46:23.000 And a lot of what I've done has, one way or another, I mean, I fought for me, certainly.
00:46:31.000 But besides the fighting, 99% of the things men do is for women anyway.
00:46:35.000 It's for pussy anyway.
00:46:37.000 Like, if women didn't exist, I wouldn't need this big ass house.
00:46:41.000 Fuck all this big ass nice house for, and all these fancy cars and nice clothes.
00:46:45.000 And all this shit is really to signal your sexual attractiveness one way or another.
00:46:49.000 It's not, people will say, oh, it's because you're insecure.
00:46:51.000 No, it's not.
00:46:52.000 It's because if you've got the money and you can afford it, you can afford it.
00:46:54.000 But if pussy disappeared from the planet today, I'd live in a sleeping bag in a tent.
00:46:58.000 I wouldn't give a fuck.
00:46:59.000 You wouldn't care, would you?
00:47:00.000 You'd be like, whatever.
00:47:01.000 Men don't care about stuff like that.
00:47:03.000 We don't care.
00:47:03.000 Like, whatever, me and my brother, we're going to the woods.
00:47:05.000 We'll live in the woods.
00:47:06.000 Don't come near us, we'll shoot.
00:47:07.000 We'll live in the woods.
00:47:08.000 So, a lot of it is to that.
00:47:10.000 And then the goal is you meet women and then you find the one you want and you have a family.
00:47:14.000 And I think that's the end goal of it all.
00:47:15.000 And then you get to relive all your experiences, creating a replica of yourself inside of your children.
00:47:21.000 Just like I was talking about earlier about how you get to relive it all.
00:47:23.000 So, I think that, yeah, there's definitely something within the human condition that makes us want to teach others and show others because it makes us feel happy inside.
00:47:32.000 It makes me happy when I teach others what I know.
00:47:35.000 So, that's why I do it.
00:47:36.000 So, what I hear is that part of the legacy you want to leave is your.
00:47:40.000 To your children, yeah, absolutely.
00:47:42.000 I want to die knowing that the exploits of Andrew Tate will continue on into eternity.
00:47:49.000 I don't want it to end with me.
00:47:51.000 Think of all the fun I've had, all the amazing things I've done.
00:47:54.000 There has to be another version of me somewhere doing something.
00:47:58.000 My father said it before he died.
00:48:00.000 He goes, I don't need to clone myself.
00:48:01.000 I have three kids.
00:48:03.000 Like the better versions of me walk the planet.
00:48:05.000 I can die today.
00:48:07.000 And this is natural human bonding.
00:48:09.000 I don't, the idea that I mean, this is a very Western, new age.
00:48:14.000 Frame of mind that I don't want kids.
00:48:16.000 I don't understand that at all.
00:48:18.000 I think the children are important.
00:48:19.000 I think it's the end goal of everything.
00:48:21.000 That's what I believe.
00:48:21.000 I mean, sure, I have a nice life and nice cars and all that shit.
00:48:24.000 I'm not saying I don't want those things.
00:48:26.000 But I think if you were to ask me what my ultimate goal was, in an ideal world, I'd have 10 sons named Andrew Tate.
00:48:31.000 What the fuck would that?
00:48:32.000 Of course I would.
00:48:32.000 That would be the ultimate goal.
00:48:34.000 10 sons, Andrew Tate, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 10 world champions.
00:48:38.000 That's the whole point of it, isn't it?
00:48:40.000 Is there a legacy that you want to leave beyond that besides your family?
00:48:46.000 I just don't know if it matters.
00:48:48.000 If I were to say to you right now, okay, when you die, you become the most famous man in the world.
00:48:52.000 Or when you're alive, I'll give you a million dollars.
00:48:54.000 Which one would you choose?
00:48:56.000 I guess take a million dollars.
00:48:58.000 Of course, because you're dead.
00:48:59.000 So who gives a fuck?
00:49:00.000 That's how I feel.
00:49:02.000 Yeah, that's how I feel.
00:49:04.000 I'm dead.
00:49:05.000 And also, what other people think of me, I don't really give a fuck.
00:49:08.000 I don't care.
00:49:09.000 If I'm happy with how I've lived, with what I've done, if I'm happy, then fuck them.
00:49:16.000 Look, a lot of the things that really bring happiness to especially men, like I said, I'm only if you're a woman watching this, I don't know why you're watching it, but hey, if you're a woman watching this, I can't talk for you.
00:49:30.000 But for a man, a lot of the things that are going to bring you happiness are the things that are ancient that would always bring you happiness the subservient women and sons that carry your name and a house that's yours and a few cows and that's yours.
00:49:46.000 I think that's what's Truly biologically driven into us.
00:49:49.000 I think that's normal.
00:49:51.000 And I think that's where true happiness is always going to lie.
00:49:54.000 And yeah, I don't think that any of the fancy shit that exists in the modern world can replace that.
00:49:59.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with just saying, look, I want me and my children, my sons, and they're going to be like me.
00:50:05.000 And I want to replicate myself.
00:50:07.000 That's normal, isn't it?
00:50:08.000 You want to replicate yourself.
00:50:10.000 I want versions of me.
00:50:11.000 That's what I want.
00:50:14.000 What are there?
00:50:14.000 Are there any sides to you or parts to you that people don't see or they don't understand or they don't get?
00:50:22.000 That you want them to see?
00:50:23.000 Yeah, I mean, like, so I think a lot of people, especially young men, they get a weird, they look at me and they don't see the depth of my character.
00:50:35.000 So they get this idea that it's like all money and pimping hoes and never love a girl and never love a bitch and drive cars.
00:50:42.000 And I'm really not actually, I don't believe that's a true persona anyone has.
00:50:47.000 If you're a full time tough guy, you're a part time liar.
00:50:50.000 That's a fact.
00:50:51.000 So I don't think that's real.
00:50:54.000 I think a lot of guys are under they don't understand that I can have women who I'm completely head over heels in love with and I adore with all my heart.
00:51:00.000 But if they piss me off, I'll still tell them to fuck off and get out of my house.
00:51:03.000 To them, that's an oxymoron.
00:51:05.000 They don't understand how I can do that.
00:51:06.000 But I'm like, look, it's not that I don't love women.
00:51:08.000 It's that I don't take shit from anybody.
00:51:11.000 Doesn't mean I don't love them.
00:51:12.000 It means I won't tolerate shit.
00:51:14.000 So there's some certain things people can't seem to make the connect for.
00:51:17.000 So they go, oh, but you don't love girls.
00:51:18.000 They say, no, I've had women I loved with all my heart and I still kicked them out in the fucking snow.
00:51:22.000 And they never came back and I never texted them.
00:51:25.000 And that was it.
00:51:26.000 Doesn't mean I didn't love them.
00:51:27.000 It means I'm stubborn and I refuse to submit certain principles.
00:51:32.000 Doesn't mean I didn't love them.
00:51:33.000 I still loved them, but they're gone.
00:51:35.000 So, you know, there's certain things that people can't correlate.
00:51:39.000 Do you get things wrong in relationships?
00:51:40.000 Do you ever have to apologize, make amends to women for things you've done or said?
00:51:44.000 No, because I will never apologize because I don't make mistakes.
00:51:48.000 Everything I do is conscious.
00:51:49.000 So even if I do something you don't like.
00:51:51.000 How do you know that?
00:51:53.000 How do you know that everything you do is conscious?
00:51:55.000 Because I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:51:57.000 How do you know that?
00:51:58.000 Okay, give me an example.
00:52:00.000 Okay, so when I say that, how can you know that?
00:52:03.000 How can any of us know that we're perfectly conscious?
00:52:07.000 There's no way I've done anything in a relationship and was like, oops, shouldn't have done that ever.
00:52:12.000 I fucked her.
00:52:13.000 Yes, I fucked her.
00:52:15.000 Yes, I did it.
00:52:16.000 Yes, I knew I was going to do it.
00:52:17.000 Yes, that was my intention.
00:52:19.000 Yes, I did it.
00:52:20.000 I'm sorry it's hurt your feelings, but I did it because I wanted to do it.
00:52:25.000 So I'm not going to pretend I didn't want to do it.
00:52:27.000 And I really do think that in relationships, especially with women, because I get this all the time from men, because I have a whole bunch of guys who cannot believe, like me and my long term girlfriends, and they see me posting all these other girls.
00:52:41.000 They're like, surely your girl sleep with other men too.
00:52:44.000 I'm like, no.
00:52:45.000 But she sees you cheat.
00:52:46.000 I'm like, so?
00:52:47.000 Because there's a whole level of cowardice to lying about things.
00:52:51.000 I think that's what annoys women the most.
00:52:53.000 So I'll give an example.
00:52:54.000 If I have a girlfriend and I go out on a night out and I fuck someone, and then she catches me or finds a text message, I'm like, oh, I don't know who she is.
00:53:01.000 Oh, no, it wasn't me.
00:53:02.000 It was my friend.
00:53:03.000 I lie.
00:53:03.000 And then she catches me again and she knows I definitely did it.
00:53:06.000 Now I've just come across the pussy.
00:53:08.000 But if she goes, what's this?
00:53:09.000 Got drunk, fucked some girl.
00:53:11.000 Don't remember her name.
00:53:12.000 I'm really sorry about it.
00:53:12.000 If you want to leave, leave.
00:53:13.000 But obviously, I love you.
00:53:15.000 She doesn't matter.
00:53:15.000 So it's up to you.
00:53:17.000 Boom.
00:53:18.000 Like, there's a whole degree of.
00:53:20.000 I really believe part of them respects you for that.
00:53:22.000 But part of them are like, at least he didn't lie.
00:53:24.000 Like, they respect how honest and brutal you are about it.
00:53:26.000 So I don't apologize for anything, even if I do shit they don't like, because I did it on purpose.
00:53:32.000 So why am I?
00:53:32.000 I'm all sorry.
00:53:33.000 So I'm not going to lie.
00:53:34.000 So I know I did it.
00:53:35.000 You're obviously a guy who's always trying to improve himself.
00:53:37.000 What are you working on now?
00:53:40.000 I kind of feel like physically I'm declining and it's really annoying me.
00:53:47.000 How old are you?
00:53:48.000 I'm 33.
00:53:49.000 Yeah.
00:53:50.000 There's no way at 33 you're as strong as you were at 25.
00:53:54.000 Can't do it.
00:53:55.000 And when you exist like I did at the absolute peak of physical performance, you will feel it even more.
00:54:02.000 Because if you're living a normal life at 33, 25, you may not feel it so much.
00:54:06.000 But when you at 25 were a monster, and at 33, you're 70% a monster.
00:54:12.000 How does that feel?
00:54:13.000 Like there's a little chink in the armor of the perfect warrior, right?
00:54:17.000 The age, like age is undefeated.
00:54:21.000 Like you can't beat that.
00:54:22.000 And so, how does that feel?
00:54:24.000 I'd do anything to go back, but I can't.
00:54:27.000 So, all I can do is sit and thank my previous self that I spent those years doing exactly what I should have been doing instead of fucking them up.
00:54:36.000 I'm so glad I used them for war, like when I was war capable.
00:54:41.000 I'm still war capable now.
00:54:42.000 I can still fight now.
00:54:43.000 But back then, I was the man.
00:54:45.000 Now I'm the man, but back then I was the man.
00:54:48.000 So, it's like I'm very happy I didn't make mistakes.
00:54:50.000 So, I'm very pleased with my past self.
00:54:53.000 And I also have absolute faith in my future self.
00:54:56.000 I guess this is another reason I don't really get stressed so much, or I don't go to people for advice.
00:55:01.000 It's because I'll think of all the times shit went wrong in my past.
00:55:05.000 And trust me, shit's gone wrong.
00:55:07.000 And how I eventually pulled off a fucking miracle.
00:55:10.000 And I have so much faith in myself.
00:55:13.000 I have faith in the future Andrew to fix any problem.
00:55:16.000 In a week from now, I might lose every penny and end up on the street in the cold, in the snow.
00:55:21.000 But I have faith that future Andrew, within a week, is going to have a girlfriend living in her house for free, getting home cooked meals.
00:55:28.000 I know that motherfucker and he's smart.
00:55:31.000 So it's like, I have faith in all the past tense to future.
00:55:35.000 The present, as long as Andrew Tate's around, it's gonna be fine.
00:55:39.000 So, yeah, part of me is upset and misses the past, but part of me is excited for the future because when I was fighting, I didn't have all that much money.
00:55:46.000 If I could go back to my 25 year old self and said, at 33, we're gonna have $2 million of supercars and live in Romania in a mansion, I'd be like, what?
00:55:54.000 How?
00:55:54.000 Even I would be like, what the fuck?
00:55:56.000 How?
00:55:57.000 So, like, I have, I have, I'm excited for what future Andrew's gonna do.
00:56:01.000 I might go to the moon.
00:56:02.000 Who the fuck knows?
00:56:03.000 I'm excited.
00:56:04.000 So, part of me misses the past, part of me is excited for the future.
00:56:07.000 Yeah, that's what life is, isn't it?
00:56:09.000 You just have to roll with the punches.
00:56:10.000 There's a natural life arc you have to embrace.
00:56:12.000 If you try and resist embracing that life arc, I think unhappiness comes.
00:56:16.000 You don't want to be like one of them old ladies dressing up as a young lady going out, fucking random dudes, pretending she's 19 when she's four.
00:56:22.000 They're the most miserable people of all.
00:56:24.000 So you've got to kind of embrace it and realize, you know what?
00:56:27.000 I can still beat up 99% of people, but there's that 1% out there I shouldn't get in the ring with anymore.
00:56:32.000 I'm going to smoke this cigar.
00:56:33.000 I'm going to drink this vodka and I'm going to drive my Lamborghini.
00:56:36.000 And this is what it is.
00:56:37.000 Got to go with it.
00:56:39.000 That's how it goes.
00:56:39.000 Do you suspect that you might mellow with age?
00:56:45.000 So, this is a good question because I've had a lot of people say to me a lot of things.
00:56:51.000 You'll see, Tate, it'll be different when you're older, or it'll change when you have kids, or blah, blah, blah.
00:57:01.000 And I completely, utterly do not believe that because I already see myself as mellow.
00:57:09.000 I'm already mellow.
00:57:10.000 I just have very, very strong principles and a very, very structured view of the world that I'm never going to abandon because I've lived 33 years with the same view of the world.
00:57:21.000 I always have viewed the world the same way.
00:57:23.000 I'm not going to abandon my life structure at random.
00:57:27.000 It's not going to happen.
00:57:27.000 So I'm already mellow.
00:57:30.000 Like, I don't consider myself an extreme person.
00:57:32.000 I consider myself very mellow.
00:57:33.000 I'm definitely more mellow than I was when I was 22, 23.
00:57:36.000 Then I was completely crazy.
00:57:38.000 But my life view was always the same.
00:57:40.000 I believe that physicality is important.
00:57:43.000 I believe a man should be as strong as he possibly can.
00:57:46.000 I believe that might makes right.
00:57:49.000 I believe that a man should be in charge.
00:57:51.000 I believe your woman should obey you.
00:57:53.000 There are certain things I just believe in my head that are structures that are never going to change.
00:57:57.000 So I've heard this from lots of people, especially like women, when I split up with women.
00:58:00.000 They say, one day you're going to meet a girl and she's going to break your heart.
00:58:03.000 She's going to be the.
00:58:04.000 They have this idea that this one girl is going to come along and I'm going to turn to a pussy.
00:58:08.000 And they don't understand that with 99% of men, that may be true because they're fakers.
00:58:13.000 But with me, That is never going to happen.
00:58:17.000 You've never had your heart broken, of course.
00:58:20.000 I have, but I never became a what's that mean?
00:58:25.000 It means I've lost women who I didn't want to lose, but I let them go.
00:58:32.000 I didn't beg for them back, I didn't cry about it.
00:58:35.000 I just let them leave.
00:58:37.000 I did it like I handled it like a man.
00:58:41.000 I say this to guys all the time.
00:58:42.000 So, a lot of guys come to me for dating advice.
00:58:44.000 So, I don't know if you know this, but I used to run a webcam studio.
00:58:47.000 You know this?
00:58:49.000 Yes.
00:58:49.000 So, yeah.
00:58:50.000 So, I had, for anyone watching who doesn't know what that is, I had at one point a lot, but probably on average about 15 to 20 women working for me.
00:58:58.000 And they'd sit on the internet, talk to guys online, and take money over the internet.
00:59:03.000 And then I'd give them a small percent and I'd keep the rest.
00:59:06.000 So, I ran a webcam studio.
00:59:07.000 So, I understand male female intersexual dynamics very, very well from the pimp perspective.
00:59:13.000 That's what people call me.
00:59:14.000 They call me a pimp.
00:59:14.000 And they call me a pimp as if it's supposed to be a negative, like I'm supposed to be offended by that.
00:59:18.000 But in my view, there was a job, the girl applied, she got the job, she sits on her computer, she does her job, she gets paid.
00:59:25.000 It's no different than these other people in their offices.
00:59:28.000 My girls just get paid more.
00:59:30.000 So, you know, so I understand things from that perspective.
00:59:32.000 And from there, you learn a lot about men and women, and you learn a lot of it.
00:59:37.000 Well, firstly, you need to know a lot before you can even run that kind of business.
00:59:40.000 But I learned even more running that business.
00:59:42.000 You learn from the customers who are in love with the girls, you learn from me dealing with my work girls, you learn from so many things about relationships and how they work.
00:59:51.000 And the truth is, as a man, a woman doesn't even have to like you.
00:59:57.000 She doesn't even have to love you, but if she respects you, she's always going to be around.
01:00:02.000 And this is why, if I love a woman with all my heart and she goes, I want to leave, the first thing I'm going to say is, fucking pack.
01:00:10.000 Because if I say anything else, she's not going to respect me.
01:00:13.000 Like, if I, oh, please stay.
01:00:15.000 I'll say, look, I don't want you to leave.
01:00:17.000 I would like you to stay, but if you're going to talk shit and threaten me, you get the fuck out of my house.
01:00:22.000 Like, I've had women leave me, but there's never, I've never had a woman not respect me.
01:00:26.000 And that's why I can hit up any ex I've ever had and I know they'll reply.
01:00:29.000 Because they respect me on a base level.
01:00:31.000 So, why do they respect me?
01:00:33.000 Because I respect myself.
01:00:34.000 So, I will never sacrifice my self respect.
01:00:37.000 I guess that's the bottom line.
01:00:38.000 It doesn't matter if I love you, my self respect has to come first.
01:00:41.000 And that's good for me and it's good for you.
01:00:43.000 Because if I sacrifice my self respect, you wouldn't love me anymore either, bitch.
01:00:46.000 So, that's just how it's going to be.
01:00:48.000 That's just how I view the self because that's how I view the world.
01:00:51.000 It's how I always am.
01:00:52.000 You know, you have to, to a degree, put yourself first.
01:00:56.000 You can't pour from an empty cup.
01:00:58.000 You have to be like all about you.
01:01:01.000 No one else is going to fix your life.
01:01:02.000 I really don't believe no one else is going to make your life fantastic but you.
01:01:04.000 You have to be all about you.
01:01:06.000 And so many of these guys who get hurt, because I really believe guys get hurt more than women nowadays.
01:01:12.000 This idea that men hurt women and break women's hearts, okay, maybe I've broken a few.
01:01:16.000 But besides the elite players like me, most of the time it's the women fucking the guys over.
01:01:20.000 I really believe that.
01:01:22.000 And a lot of the times they're getting screwed up is because they've tied their identity so integrally with this girl that they've lost their sense of self.
01:01:30.000 You lose your sense of self, you can't have self respect.
01:01:32.000 And that's why she doesn't respect you anyway.
01:01:33.000 And that's why it's all going downhill.
01:01:34.000 And that's why you lose her and you panic and blah, blah, blah.
01:01:37.000 You've got to be about yourself first.
01:01:39.000 She has to be a compliment.
01:01:39.000 So, yeah, I've had my heart broken in regards to I've had times women have left and I've really, really missed her.
01:01:46.000 But I have never texted her first, ever.
01:01:50.000 What did you do with the pain of the heartbreak?
01:01:54.000 I did the same thing I do if my heart wasn't broken.
01:01:57.000 I got up.
01:01:58.000 I went in the gym.
01:01:59.000 I lifted a bunch of weights.
01:02:01.000 I got in my fast car.
01:02:02.000 I drove down the road looking sexy as fuck.
01:02:04.000 Bought a Starbucks and made some money.
01:02:07.000 It doesn't matter how I feel has no bearing on how I live my life.
01:02:14.000 But what do you do with it?
01:02:15.000 Like, I understand you keep going, you don't let it stop you, but what do you do with that emotional pain?
01:02:21.000 Is it pain?
01:02:23.000 Isn't it?
01:02:24.000 I don't know, man, because I know pain.
01:02:27.000 I'm talking real pain, physical pain.
01:02:30.000 Yeah, but physical pain.
01:02:32.000 People have this idea that emotional pain is worse.
01:02:35.000 They ain't never had a knife.
01:02:36.000 Stuck in their skin.
01:02:38.000 I know pain.
01:02:39.000 They never had their face broken.
01:02:40.000 I know pain, like real pain.
01:02:43.000 Everyone can imagine being sick.
01:02:45.000 That's pain when you're sick, like really sick.
01:02:48.000 This is very topical right now.
01:02:49.000 You know, when you're in bed and you really feel like on the verge of death, that's like the worst experience ever.
01:02:54.000 I don't fear emotional pain.
01:02:56.000 Like, even if in the worst possible scenario, my brother died, that's the worst thing that can possibly happen to me.
01:03:02.000 I'm still going to get up, go to the gym, lift weights, drive my cars.
01:03:06.000 I'm still, because that's just all you can do is progress.
01:03:10.000 I don't see, I don't think physical, I don't think emotional pain needs direct, what's the word?
01:03:16.000 It doesn't need direct attention.
01:03:17.000 I don't believe it does.
01:03:18.000 I believe it needs to be ignored and it will go away.
01:03:21.000 You don't think people need time to mourn?
01:03:23.000 Like when your father died, did you need time to mourn?
01:03:26.000 Absolutely, you can mourn, but you can mourn while you lift those weights, while you drive that car, and while you buy that coffee and pick those bitches.
01:03:33.000 Like, so when my father, I'll give you an example.
01:03:35.000 When my father died, I just moved to Romania.
01:03:38.000 I had just started my webcam company.
01:03:40.000 I moved here.
01:03:41.000 I had six girls with me.
01:03:42.000 I spent all my money moving all my stuff out of England and getting Romania, setting up a house, da da da da.
01:03:47.000 And my dad died.
01:03:48.000 When my dad died, I had two choices.
01:03:50.000 I said, Do I either fly back to the funeral?
01:03:52.000 And my dad was my hero.
01:03:54.000 My relationship with my dad is much closer than most people have had with their dad.
01:03:57.000 Like, it's not like we had a distant relationship.
01:04:00.000 He was my hero in every regard.
01:04:02.000 Do I fly to his funeral?
01:04:04.000 Or, and then what's going to happen is I'm going to blow all my money.
01:04:06.000 I'm going to be away for weeks.
01:04:07.000 These girls are new.
01:04:09.000 They're going to vanish.
01:04:09.000 They're in Romania on their own.
01:04:10.000 They don't know anyone here.
01:04:11.000 They're going to want to go home.
01:04:13.000 Or do I suck it up and focus on my business?
01:04:18.000 And I've got my mom to provide for.
01:04:20.000 Me and Tristan have started this company.
01:04:21.000 We've spent all our money.
01:04:22.000 And I missed my dad's funeral to run my business.
01:04:24.000 And even my sister messaged me, that you're so insensitive.
01:04:28.000 I said, look, I'm my father's son.
01:04:30.000 If he was alive, he'd slap me in the mouth for fucking up my income for the whole family and fucking up my chance of building a legacy for this family and making sure mom never has to work again to go fuck to a fucking funeral.
01:04:42.000 I can mourn from here.
01:04:44.000 It's a very rational decision.
01:04:48.000 And the day he died, I found out at 1 p.m., 5 p.m., I'm commentating on live TV.
01:04:53.000 The next day, I'm running my webcam studio.
01:04:55.000 Was I devastated?
01:04:56.000 Absolutely.
01:04:57.000 But what did I do?
01:04:58.000 The same shit I would have done if he was alive.
01:05:01.000 Because how I feel doesn't have bearing on how I live my life.
01:05:04.000 Everyone knows what the right decision is.
01:05:06.000 People pretend they don't know.
01:05:08.000 You know the decision is to go to the gym.
01:05:10.000 You know the decision is to put the chocolate bar down.
01:05:13.000 You know the decision is not to drink.
01:05:14.000 You just pretend you don't know.
01:05:16.000 Oh, but I feel this way, so I duh duh.
01:05:19.000 Garbage.
01:05:20.000 You know you should be in the gym, whether you're happy, fucking sad, excited.
01:05:23.000 It doesn't matter how you feel.
01:05:25.000 You know what you should be doing.
01:05:27.000 So, for me, I know what I should do.
01:05:29.000 I'm an adult.
01:05:30.000 I know I should run my business.
01:05:31.000 I should stay in good physical health.
01:05:32.000 I should do the best.
01:05:33.000 And it doesn't matter how I feel, I know what the right choice is.
01:05:35.000 So, I'm going to make it.
01:05:38.000 This is just how I view it.
01:05:39.000 But there could be another father who's just as strict and as disciplined who could say, You don't miss the funeral of your fucking father.
01:05:48.000 Absolutely.
01:05:48.000 Like that, that's a value.
01:05:50.000 Absolutely.
01:05:52.000 And I'm sure if my dad would have come back to life and said, Why did you miss my funeral?
01:05:57.000 I would have told him.
01:05:58.000 Because I just moved over to Romania and I had a business to run, and I decided it was the best decision at the time.
01:06:02.000 That's the decision I made and I stick by it.
01:06:04.000 I'm not sorry for it.
01:06:05.000 I don't apologize for it.
01:06:06.000 Just I got to apologize for shit with the women.
01:06:08.000 I do what I believe is right and I stick by my decisions.
01:06:11.000 This is a binary decision, decisions made.
01:06:13.000 And I don't live in a world of what ifs or I should haves or I'm not going to miss it and then regret and be mad at myself because I didn't go.
01:06:21.000 No, I made a call and I stick to my call.
01:06:23.000 And that's just how it is.
01:06:24.000 And things worked out well for me.
01:06:25.000 Hey, maybe I would have gone to the funeral and things would have worked out better.
01:06:28.000 I don't know.
01:06:29.000 But at the time, I made a call and I stuck with my call.
01:06:32.000 And it does not, in my mind, my love for my father is not detrimental in any regard.
01:06:37.000 I loved him when he was alive.
01:06:38.000 Do you miss him?
01:06:40.000 Of course, absolutely.
01:06:41.000 You're going to.
01:06:41.000 There's no way you're going to live your life without missing your father every single day.
01:06:45.000 But I'm not going to let that damage my psychology and my mentality in any way.
01:06:51.000 It's going to just, I'm going to continue to live my life as if he was alive.
01:06:53.000 If he was alive, I'd be doing the exact same thing.
01:06:55.000 Nothing's changed.
01:06:56.000 Is there a burden with all that you carry, like being the man?
01:07:00.000 Like, is there a burden that comes with that?
01:07:02.000 Absolutely.
01:07:04.000 There's a huge burden.
01:07:06.000 I think, where did I read?
01:07:07.000 I read somewhere that the top 1% of society and the bottom 1% of society have the same stress level.
01:07:15.000 So, it's least stressful in the middle.
01:07:17.000 But if you're at the very, very top of elite and you're at the very, very bottom of like shit muncher, nobody, you're both really stressed out.
01:07:24.000 Because at the bottom, you have nothing to eat and shit.
01:07:26.000 And at the top, if your company fucks up, you're losing billions of share value.
01:07:30.000 And these people are stressed as well.
01:07:32.000 So, at the very, very top, they're stressed.
01:07:33.000 At the very, very bottom, they're stressed.
01:07:34.000 Most people exist somewhere in the middle.
01:07:36.000 And yeah, I'm the king of my castle.
01:07:38.000 I'm the king of my life.
01:07:39.000 I'm in charge of my business.
01:07:41.000 I make all the calls.
01:07:42.000 Like, even my brother and my cousin, everyone I work with, it's still me.
01:07:45.000 I'm the boss.
01:07:46.000 I'm in charge of everything.
01:07:47.000 So, yeah, there's stress associated with that.
01:07:49.000 But with responsibility comes authority, doesn't it?
01:07:52.000 And I like authority because I trust myself more than I trust anyone else.
01:07:55.000 So, if I want to be able to make all the calls, I have to have all the responsibility to go along with it.
01:07:58.000 If I want to be the captain of the ship, I have to be responsible for the ship's sinking.
01:08:03.000 But that means if I say, do something on my ship, you've got to fucking listen because I'm the captain.
01:08:07.000 So, most people, this is a big skew in modern society, especially in relationships.
01:08:12.000 So, we can apply this to relationships or society as a whole.
01:08:14.000 Most people want authority without responsibility.
01:08:18.000 That's what people want.
01:08:18.000 I want authority without responsibility.
01:08:20.000 That's what they want.
01:08:21.000 Or you have women who, women do that.
01:08:25.000 They want authority, but they don't want any responsibility.
01:08:27.000 And then you have men in the world who have all the responsibility, but no authority.
01:08:30.000 You have men who go out there, work his ass off, pay all the bills, struggling in the coal mine.
01:08:34.000 He comes home and he can't even tell his woman to make him a coffee.
01:08:36.000 So he has all the responsibility and no authority.
01:08:39.000 And the two should be linked.
01:08:40.000 The more responsibility you have, the more authority you have.
01:08:43.000 Now, personally, I can't think of any motherfucker on the planet better than me at living my life.
01:08:48.000 So that means I need to be in charge of everything.
01:08:50.000 Which means I want to be responsible for everything, which is why, and yeah, there's a whole bunch of stress that goes with it, but I can't think of anyone else who can do it better than me.
01:08:58.000 So that's just how it is.
01:08:59.000 So I'm either going to deal with that stress and have all the authority to make all the calls, or I'm going to be a little pussy and be like, oh, I don't know.
01:09:07.000 And I'll just hand over jobs to other people and just block it out from my mind.
01:09:11.000 And then I don't get to make calls on them.
01:09:13.000 It won't be done as well, but at least I don't have the stress of it.
01:09:15.000 There is a huge, I'd love for that.
01:09:17.000 Maybe there's a study, I don't know, but there is a massive correlation between success in life and stress tolerance.
01:09:23.000 The more stress you can tolerate, the better your life's gonna be.
01:09:27.000 The easiest way to crumble in life is not be able to handle stress.
01:09:29.000 Like, you think Tyson Fury isn't stressed before he goes out there to fucking nearly get knocked out in front of all millions of people.
01:09:36.000 The reason he's the champ is because he has in his mind, fuck it, come hurt me.
01:09:42.000 And that's insanity.
01:09:43.000 He's inviting a predator to come and hurt him.
01:09:45.000 And he will still go in there with a clear mind, so whatever.
01:09:49.000 And if he loses, he's gonna be made fun of and mocked and memed on the internet for the rest of his life.
01:09:53.000 And he'll still go.
01:09:54.000 Stress level and success are massively linked.
01:09:57.000 So, the more stress you can tolerate, the more successful you'll be as a person.
01:10:01.000 So, that's an amazing habit to get into the idea of just handling stress.
01:10:06.000 Like, most people are stressed out over dumb shit.
01:10:09.000 Like, my mom, I love my mom with all my heart, but she'd be stressed out because the house was messy.
01:10:13.000 And I'm like, you're stressed over some cups and a plate.
01:10:17.000 Like, how can she run a fucking multinational?
01:10:21.000 You know, like some people just haven't got it in them.
01:10:24.000 But I'm built for stress, I'm built for war.
01:10:27.000 So, it doesn't bother me.
01:10:28.000 I'd rather have it that way.
01:10:29.000 And at least I can say, What's going to happen the way I fucking want it to happen?
01:10:33.000 Because then I get to be in charge and I want to be in charge.
01:10:35.000 Yeah, you said something.
01:10:37.000 It makes me think it's something that people who don't appreciate sports and fighting don't really understand how intensely vulnerable it is for fighters to walk in the ring and fight somebody else.
01:10:49.000 Everybody's watching.
01:10:51.000 They could win and be the hero, but you could also get your ass kicked.
01:10:55.000 Listen, fighting is scary.
01:10:58.000 It doesn't matter how big of a tough guy you are, professional fighting is scary.
01:11:02.000 And everyone knows this instinctually.
01:11:03.000 That's the reason why the movie stars, The basketball players, everyone goes to the boxing matches because everyone knows they're the dons.
01:11:12.000 Because another thing about fighting is you can win 40 fights in a row, you lose one, get knocked out once, that's it.
01:11:21.000 All the other 40 you won, no one cares.
01:11:23.000 You lost, you got knocked out.
01:11:25.000 All the armchair experts are making fun of you, and that's how it's going to go.
01:11:29.000 And on top of it, there is a huge, most fighters can't tolerate losing.
01:11:36.000 It's hard, it's a hard thing to accept that another man.
01:11:41.000 Effectively, if he knocked you out, he could have killed you.
01:11:43.000 He could have jumped on your head, it would have been the end of it.
01:11:45.000 No referee on the street, you would have been dead.
01:11:47.000 A man took your life effectively in front of your wife.
01:11:51.000 It's hard.
01:11:52.000 It's hard to deal with.
01:11:54.000 And most people don't really understand it unless you've been there.
01:11:56.000 But yeah, it's a scary thing.
01:11:58.000 So these guys fighting for the heavyweight world title, their number one attribute isn't the fact that they're big, strong, and fit.
01:12:04.000 It's their stress tolerance.
01:12:06.000 It's that they can be zen enough to be like, okay, because if you let the nerves get to you, you're going to burn energy, you're going to be wild, you're going to fuck up.
01:12:13.000 But these guys can be so relaxed in such a high pressure environment is insanity.
01:12:18.000 I mean, I've been there and I've done it.
01:12:19.000 And even I will look at someone like Tyson Fury, who came back fat as fuck, came back two years, jumped in with Deontay Wilder when AJ was too afraid.
01:12:27.000 Fuck it.
01:12:29.000 Guy's a fucking hero.
01:12:30.000 Mentally, he's a hero.
01:12:31.000 He doesn't give a shit.
01:12:33.000 And that's incredible.
01:12:34.000 But stress tolerance is a massive part of being a successful person.
01:12:38.000 You're never going to be successful without stress.
01:12:41.000 People have this view I want to be a YouTuber and.
01:12:44.000 And I just want to have millions and millions of dollars with no stress and have no real company and just make stupid videos and these pipe dreams.
01:12:51.000 And 99% of the ways you're going to get somewhere in life is through hard work and stress and toil and bullshit.
01:12:56.000 That's the way it's going to go.
01:12:57.000 So you better get a debt that's living in a stormy sea.
01:13:01.000 I'll float in a stormy sea.
01:13:02.000 Give me some armbands.
01:13:03.000 I'll just float with it.
01:13:04.000 Whatever.
01:13:05.000 It is what it is.
01:13:07.000 It's going to survive.
01:13:09.000 Who inspires you?
01:13:12.000 I guess Tyson Fury just kind of appeared as an accident.
01:13:16.000 He inspires me.
01:13:18.000 Obviously, my dad was a huge inspiration.
01:13:20.000 My dad was a genius for real.
01:13:24.000 Like, the word genius is thrown around far too often because I grew up around genuine geniuses.
01:13:30.000 And the people say, oh, he's smart or, oh, he's a genius.
01:13:34.000 And these people, like, ain't shit.
01:13:36.000 Not compared to like the real people.
01:13:38.000 Like, even like Elon Musk, he ain't fucking smart.
01:13:41.000 He's got money.
01:13:42.000 He comes up with an idea for an electric car.
01:13:43.000 He hires people who know about electric cars to build an electric car.
01:13:46.000 Okay, cool.
01:13:46.000 Is he a smart guy?
01:13:47.000 Obviously.
01:13:48.000 Is he a genius?
01:13:49.000 No.
01:13:50.000 Because when you grow up around elite level chess players, okay, they're all on the autistic spectrum.
01:13:56.000 So, in some ways, they fail.
01:13:58.000 They fail socially.
01:13:59.000 But from pure computational ability, they're geniuses.
01:14:03.000 So, it depends how you measure it.
01:14:04.000 But for pure computation, these people are insane.
01:14:07.000 It's like you can't do it with a normal brain.
01:14:10.000 I'm from chess pedigree and I can't do it.
01:14:13.000 And I play chess every day and I still can't do it.
01:14:16.000 Like, it's incredible how.
01:14:19.000 Smart, these people are.
01:14:21.000 You know, so chess inspires me massively.
01:14:24.000 World level chess players, it's incredible.
01:14:26.000 It's only up until the early 2000s that computers could beat you.
01:14:30.000 And these computers are millions of moves ahead.
01:14:33.000 Like, how?
01:14:35.000 It's amazing, you know.
01:14:36.000 My dad remembered every chess game he's ever played, ever.
01:14:39.000 You'd name a grandmaster, he said, Yeah, I played him in 1988.
01:14:41.000 Move, move, move.
01:14:42.000 Every movie he's ever played.
01:14:43.000 He could beat you without looking at a board.
01:14:45.000 So I'd say E4, he'd be in another room.
01:14:47.000 C5, my F3, nice C6.
01:14:50.000 And he just off the top of his head and just beat you in his mind.
01:14:54.000 It's crazy.
01:14:55.000 It's literally completely crazy unless you've seen it.
01:14:58.000 So I don't even consider myself that smart, really.
01:15:01.000 I mean, am I smarter than average?
01:15:02.000 Yeah, certainly, but I'm definitely not in the level those dudes were.
01:15:05.000 So I find that very, very inspiring.
01:15:08.000 But, yeah, I mean, there's loads of stories of inspiration.
01:15:12.000 I think any man who just makes his calls and sticks to them, I find inspiring.
01:15:17.000 I love Trump.
01:15:18.000 I think he's super inspiring because it's not even about this, what I try and explain to people.
01:15:22.000 It's not even about politics.
01:15:24.000 It's about he will say something and he means it.
01:15:28.000 That's enough to get my respect.
01:15:29.000 I don't give a fuck if you say shit I don't like.
01:15:32.000 At least you mean what you say in the world of politics that is so rare.
01:15:37.000 He came along and called it a Chinese virus.
01:15:39.000 Everyone tries to call him racist.
01:15:40.000 What does he do the next day?
01:15:42.000 The Chinese virus.
01:15:43.000 He says it again because he means what he says.
01:15:46.000 And I respect that so much about him as a person.
01:15:49.000 Trump's a Don.
01:15:51.000 You have to be, there's got to be something wrong with you to not respect that in a man.
01:15:54.000 You know, you got to respect that.
01:15:55.000 Even if you don't like it, even if you're a Democrat, whatever, you have to look at Trump and go, you know what?
01:15:59.000 He says what he means.
01:16:01.000 He means what he says.
01:16:02.000 You know, and it's only people who are too cowardly to stick to their own word who hate him because they really hate themselves because they don't stick to what they fucking say.
01:16:11.000 This projection.
01:16:13.000 But yeah, I mean, I've got a few heroes, but besides those, really, I'm just trying to do my thing.
01:16:17.000 I mean, if I'm looking for sources of inspiration, if I was ever in a difficult point and I was really looking for a source of inspiration, I'd rethink stories of me from my own life.
01:16:30.000 Is there a way that you're trying to live up to your father's image of you?
01:16:37.000 Or are you trying to surpass what your father did?
01:16:40.000 Like, what's, is there any motivation there for you?
01:16:44.000 I am Emery Andrew Tate III.
01:16:46.000 Uh huh.
01:16:47.000 He was Emery Andrew Tate II.
01:16:50.000 My son will be Emery Andrew Tate IV.
01:16:52.000 It is my job and my duty to my last name to be exceptional.
01:16:56.000 I have respect for my name and my lineage.
01:16:59.000 And to do anything other than push for absolute exceptionalism would be insulting to him and my grandfather and all of my ancestors, even all the way back to cavemen days, who fought saber toothed tigers just to live long enough to fuck and pump a baby out.
01:17:15.000 And I'm gonna turn up here now, 2,000 years later, and be a fat sack of shit?
01:17:20.000 Ultimately disrespectful.
01:17:22.000 And I have respect for the people who brought me on this planet.
01:17:25.000 It is my job to be exceptional, not only for myself, but for everyone who ever created me.
01:17:30.000 If you wanna live life and go, oh, I'm average, it's okay, then you're insulting your parents and your grandparents and everyone fucking else.
01:17:37.000 These people went through World War II and polio and smallpox and fucking ice ages to bring your stupid ass alive, and now you wanna sit there and be average?
01:17:46.000 You want to sit there and say, I'm sad and play video games?
01:17:50.000 Then you're a fuck up.
01:17:52.000 I absolutely am.
01:17:53.000 Of course, I'm trying to live up to the image of my father because I'm his son.
01:17:57.000 And my son will try to do the same for me.
01:17:59.000 And I expect nothing less from him.
01:18:00.000 And I don't think that is unhealthy in any regard.
01:18:03.000 I am, if I ever, it never happens, but if I ever did lack motivation, the first thing I think of is my family life.
01:18:12.000 If you're not going to be proud of who you are and your own last name and your ancestry, then what the fuck is the point of you even being here to eat tacos?
01:18:19.000 What the fuck are you here for?
01:18:21.000 Tacos are pretty good.
01:18:22.000 They are pretty good.
01:18:23.000 But you know what?
01:18:23.000 It's even like we can get deeper with this suicide.
01:18:28.000 People talk about suicide, nigga.
01:18:29.000 You don't know how it feels to be suicidal.
01:18:30.000 And I will say this with conviction if I was suicidal, I still wouldn't kill myself because my parents worked too hard to put me on the planet and raise me and feed me, working jobs day and night to put food in my mouth for my stupid ass to feel sad and kill myself.
01:18:50.000 That is a up, that's a monumental up.
01:18:53.000 And I have too much respect for my family to do that.
01:18:56.000 All these men know these famous men who kill themselves.
01:18:58.000 You have kids, you want to kill yourself, you have children to raise, you are selfish.
01:19:04.000 I don't feel sorry for you 1%.
01:19:06.000 You're a pussy.
01:19:06.000 And if you were half a man, you take your suicidal feelings, shut the fuck up, and raise your children anyway.
01:19:12.000 Because men are always, men have duty.
01:19:15.000 Duty has been part of being a man since the dawn of time.
01:19:18.000 We went to wars where we barely understood because we had a duty as a man.
01:19:23.000 So now you want to throw all your duty away and go, I don't want to play the game anymore.
01:19:26.000 I'm going to kill myself.
01:19:27.000 I'm sad.
01:19:28.000 You're fucking, what about the people above you and below you?
01:19:31.000 I wish to God I was suicidal.
01:19:33.000 If I was suicidal, I'd have all the freedom in the world.
01:19:36.000 I'd go to Mozambique tomorrow, become a mercenary.
01:19:38.000 I don't give a fuck.
01:19:39.000 Shoot me.
01:19:40.000 I could do anything.
01:19:41.000 I could fucking base jump, fucking anything.
01:19:44.000 I don't give a fuck anymore.
01:19:45.000 What a superpower these people have thrown away.
01:19:48.000 Suicidal, I don't believe in any of that shit because it's just a lack of duty.
01:19:51.000 So, yeah, you can talk about respect for and living up to.
01:19:56.000 I live up to the point where you could depress me to the depths of earth, you could put me in a cell by myself, solitary confinement for the rest of my life.
01:20:05.000 You could kill every family member I have, you chuck my arms and legs off.
01:20:08.000 I still won't kill myself because I refuse.
01:20:12.000 Because I have a job to do.
01:20:13.000 My job is to live as long as possible.
01:20:15.000 That is my job.
01:20:15.000 So is everyone else's.
01:20:17.000 So, yes, I absolutely am trying to live up to the memory of my father and as my son will do for me.
01:20:21.000 And I take it to that extreme where no matter what happens to me, I'm going to stay the motherfucking man because that is my name, Tate.
01:20:28.000 How can it be anything else?
01:20:29.000 How can I be ordinary?
01:20:31.000 Unacceptable.
01:20:34.000 Thank you, Andrew Tate.
01:20:41.000 You know, you know, man, your rants are great.
01:20:44.000 Obviously, you're a super smart guy.
01:20:45.000 I feel your passion.
01:20:47.000 But the other thing I want to say, I just feel how sweet you are.
01:20:51.000 Well, thank you.
01:20:52.000 Like, you're a really sweet guy.
01:20:54.000 Like, when you smile, when you make a joke, like, there's, and I think that's why you get away with all this somehow, you know, and why people are drawn to you.
01:21:03.000 It's why I'm drawn to you.
01:21:03.000 Because the first time I saw you, I'm like, what the fuck is this guy up to?
01:21:06.000 What's he on about?
01:21:08.000 And then once I started to see you a little bit more, I could see the game you were playing.
01:21:13.000 I could see your integrity, but I could also feel your heart.
01:21:16.000 Yeah, and this is the thing, and I say this without any irony I genuinely believe I'm a good person.
01:21:21.000 Yeah, I don't rob grandmas.
01:21:24.000 I don't steal from nobody.
01:21:25.000 I don't hurt nobody.
01:21:27.000 I genuinely believe I'm a good person.
01:21:28.000 And the world has become so skewed now.
01:21:31.000 If you're a man who believes in himself and has honor and stands up for what he believes in, you're viewed as bad.
01:21:38.000 People think I'm a bad person.
01:21:39.000 I don't really know why.
01:21:40.000 I believe in what I believe in.
01:21:41.000 I live to my own principles.
01:21:42.000 I don't really hurt nobody.
01:21:44.000 But somehow I'm evil.
01:21:47.000 But this goes into the political side of the left.
01:21:49.000 But it's, you know, I really do believe I am a good person.
01:21:53.000 I have good intentions for everyone I ever interact with in my life.
01:21:56.000 So, yeah.
01:21:57.000 Is it painful that people don't see that about you, that you're a good man?
01:22:00.000 No.
01:22:01.000 Doesn't bother you.
01:22:03.000 No, it genuinely doesn't bother me.
01:22:06.000 So, a lot of people say they don't care what other people think.
01:22:09.000 And that's a lie.
01:22:09.000 Everyone cares what other people think.
01:22:11.000 Because if you didn't, you wouldn't brush your hair, you wouldn't wear clothes, you wouldn't, nothing.
01:22:15.000 Like, if you really didn't care what other people think, Your whole life would be a fucking mess.
01:22:19.000 So, we all want to have some kind of social standing.
01:22:22.000 I want, and I've always wanted people to see me as successful and intelligent.
01:22:26.000 And I have now reached a point where those two things are impossible to deny.
01:22:31.000 Anything else you think about beyond those things, I don't care.
01:22:34.000 Oh, yeah, he's smart and he's rich, but as soon as you say, but I don't give a fuck.
01:22:39.000 I've done my job.
01:22:41.000 And what happens when you reach a certain level of intellect, the highest realms, which you and I enjoy, I'm going to include you in this, you'll realize that most niceness is complete garbage anyway.
01:22:52.000 It's fake.
01:22:53.000 Most nice people are fake.
01:22:54.000 If you show me a nice person, I see a snake.
01:22:57.000 You can find me a person who's nice to everyone.
01:22:59.000 Oh, hi.
01:23:00.000 Oh, hi.
01:23:01.000 Oh, hi.
01:23:02.000 I just, I don't, you know, they're full of shit.
01:23:05.000 They don't like everybody.
01:23:06.000 Nobody likes everybody, you know?
01:23:08.000 So there's a degree of integrity and honesty that comes with me being dislikable.
01:23:12.000 And that means the people who do like me at least sit there and go, you know what, Tate, like Trump.
01:23:16.000 He says what he means, he means what he says.
01:23:18.000 So I don't want to be viewed as nice because that's a whole bunch of garbage, anyways.
01:23:22.000 I don't give a fuck if you don't think I'm nice.
01:23:23.000 I know I'm a good person.
01:23:24.000 I know I don't go out of my way to harm anyone.
01:23:26.000 I know I've got a good heart.
01:23:27.000 I know I've done well with people around me.
01:23:29.000 I've never robbed, stolen.
01:23:30.000 Never done any of those things.
01:23:32.000 So, yeah.
01:23:33.000 And if that translates across, good, because it's true.
01:23:35.000 So it should.
01:23:36.000 Yeah.
01:23:36.000 Well, I hope more people get it and see you because I think your message is important.
01:23:42.000 It's powerful and people need to hear it.
01:23:44.000 Yeah.
01:23:45.000 And this is basically it.
01:23:47.000 Like, I don't know about you, but I'm an atheist.
01:23:51.000 And I find I get a lot of meaning from my atheism.
01:23:54.000 I get the same meaning from my atheism that a religious person gets from their religion.
01:23:57.000 And that's that you get one spin, there's no afterlife.
01:24:01.000 Not getting a go again, there's no higher meaning.
01:24:04.000 You get one turn, so you may as well do whatever it takes for you to be happy and smile.
01:24:10.000 Because when you're old, you're going to regret you didn't, and you don't get to do it again.
01:24:14.000 So, if I want to spunk all my money on supercars, if I want to bang that girl, even though I got a girlfriend at home, if I want to do it, it doesn't matter what it is, I do whatever I want because this I believe that's how my life should be lived.
01:24:28.000 Now, I don't go out my way to hurt anybody because I understand there are moral lines that shouldn't be crossed.
01:24:32.000 Not that I want to hurt anybody, but my point is.
01:24:35.000 You get one spin at it.
01:24:37.000 And I believe that part of that comes from my atheist beliefs, and part of that just comes from how I've written it.
01:24:44.000 I don't know.
01:24:44.000 I don't even know where it comes from.
01:24:45.000 But also, one more point I want to make I think chess and fighting are very similar, and they teach you a lot about life.
01:24:51.000 And there's a lot of lessons in both of them.
01:24:52.000 And the most important lesson in both of them, which translates perfectly, is that if something goes wrong, you fucked up.
01:24:59.000 It doesn't matter.
01:25:01.000 If you're playing chess and you lose, it may have been the smallest mistake in the world, it may have been 30 moves ago.
01:25:06.000 Somewhere at some point, you fucked up.
01:25:10.000 It is you and it's your fault.
01:25:13.000 And you have to perfect that for the future, make sure it doesn't happen again.
01:25:15.000 I think that's the life philosophy that most people need to accept.
01:25:17.000 If you're sitting there and you're unhappy with your life, somewhere at some point, you fucked up.
01:25:23.000 It's nothing to do with Trump or fucking racism or fucking global warming or any other shit.
01:25:28.000 It's you.
01:25:29.000 If you do life that way, you're going to do pretty well.
