Tate Speech - CIGAR NIGHT Q&A WITH TRISTAN TATE | EP.7

00:00:00.000 And here we are. I know I postponed the cigar party the other night, so I owe my loyal viewers Obviously, Andrew was going live with Alex Jones, the interview he did on InfoWorld, which was fantastic.

00:00:25.000 I didn't want the dual events to collide one with another.

00:00:29.000 But I heard all sorts of conspiracy theories.

00:00:30.000 Oh, Tristan can't go online because, you know, the BBC have released new evidence against him.

00:00:36.000 All sorts of nonsense.

00:00:37.000 No, it was simply the Andrews broadcast on Infowars with Alex Jones.

00:00:41.000 It was going live at the exact same time.

00:00:43.000 So I cancelled my much-awaited cigar evening.

00:00:47.000 To instead watch that with Andrew, and so as not to compete in terms of viewership.

00:00:51.000 I know most of you who are watching this did watch that.

00:00:55.000 The question, I guess, is why am I not in my podcast studio, and why are you joining me tonight from my garden?

00:01:03.000 The reason is very simple.

00:01:05.000 And I'm going to go into that after I speak about today's cigar.

00:01:09.000 Now, today's cigar is actually going to remain a mystery.

00:01:14.000 I'm not going to tell you what it is.

00:01:15.000 I'm not going to tell you how much it costs.

00:01:17.000 I'm going to take all the labels off and scrunch them off because today's cigar night, as you know, cigar night is I light a cigar and I answer your questions until the time when my cigar is finished and then I go about my day as usual.

00:01:35.000 But this cigar night is not about the cigar itself.

00:01:38.000 It is about the lighter that I'm going to light it with.

00:01:44.000 Bad mic. Complaining about the sound.

00:01:48.000 People complaining about the sound.

00:01:50.000 Hopefully it should be fixed.

00:01:54.000 People are complaining about the sound.

00:01:56.000 Hopefully it should be fixed. Okay, should be fixed.

00:02:04.000 And once you can hear me slightly better, I'm going to keep pulling.

00:02:07.000 And once you guys can hear me okay, then what I'm going to do is I'm going to continue and I'm going to start actually again from the beginning.

00:02:14.000 So I have friends saying it's not fixed, people saying it's cutting out, people saying nope, people saying the mic is not on.

00:02:22.000 Still bad, not fixed.

00:02:24.000 Technical issue.

00:02:31.000 Does that make a difference?

00:02:49.000 Thanks for watching.

00:02:51.000 If you enjoyed the video, please subscribe.

00:02:53.000 Thanks for watching.

00:02:55.000 Thanks for watching.

00:02:57.000 People are saying sounds fine.

00:02:59.000 Did you see me in there?

00:03:01.000 I'm going to keep talking into this while you're messing around with it.

00:03:03.000 there.

00:03:04.000 And hopefully someone's going to be able to hear it.

00:03:06.000 Mic is good. Mic is good.

00:03:07.000 Buy a 10 grand mic. My guys have unlimited budget.

00:03:12.000 Audio is good. Okay.

00:03:15.000 Audio is good. That's great news.

00:03:17.000 So what I'm going to do then, gentlemen, is I'm going to start again.

00:03:21.000 I'm going to start completely again from the beginning.

00:03:24.000 So first and foremost, I would like to apologize for canceling my Cigar Night that was due to air two days ago.

00:03:29.000 The reason I canceled that, because there were lots of conspiracy theories on Twitter.

00:03:33.000 Why did he cancel his Cigar Night?

00:03:35.000 Did something go wrong? Is something going wrong in Tristan's life?

00:03:37.000 It has nothing to do with that at all.

00:03:39.000 What happened was I got word from Alex Jones over at Infowars, who I will be speaking to very soon, that his interview with Andrew was about to go live on Infowars.com, banned.video.

00:03:49.000 So I decided as not to compete With the debut of the interview with Andrew and Alex Jones, and so I could watch and enjoy the interview myself, I decided to cancel the cigar evening and stay at home and sit in front of the TV and watch Alex Jones, who I absolutely like, absolutely love. Alex Jones is the man.

00:04:14.000 Everyone's spamming broken mic, but people are also replying to things that I had to say.

00:04:19.000 So I'm going to take the mic out of my pocket.

00:04:21.000 Because when it was out of my pocket, people didn't complain so much.

00:04:25.000 So maybe there's some magic in there.

00:04:27.000 Okay, so anyway, enough people can hear me, you can hear me okay.

00:04:30.000 And the reason that we have this strange microphone set up is point number two, why you are joining me tonight from my garden and not from my illustrious, luxurious, perfect sound quality podcast studio.

00:04:44.000 And the reason is very simple.

00:04:46.000 The reason is because I want to be in two places at once.

00:04:49.000 I want to be here on the cigar evening, which I promised everybody I was going to reschedule, and I also want to be at this gathering of my friends and brothers from within the War Room.

00:04:58.000 What the War Room is and what the War Room does, I feel today is more important to cover than ever because Matt Shea, the DNG, who has already been to a War Room event and knows what we're about for real, is planning on releasing a hit piece on the War Room, as he does. It's the nature of snakes.

00:05:16.000 So before Matt, the DNG, talks about the war room in a negative light, I thought, I'm here with the war room, guys.

00:05:22.000 I have to do a cigar evening.

00:05:23.000 Why not just let them see it for themselves?

00:05:28.000 As you know with cigar nights, the way they typically work is this.

00:05:31.000 I tell you about a cigar.

00:05:33.000 I tell you about its quality, how it was rolled, where it's from, the flavorings of it.

00:05:38.000 And then, I light the cigar with a standard cigar lighter, and by the time the cigar is over, the cigar night's done, I go about my business, and I've finished answering your questions and bringing up the topics that you want to hear me speak about.

00:05:49.000 However, today, this cigar, which is a fantastic cigar, has no wrapper, has no paper on it, so you can't identify exactly what the cigar is because the cigar night isn't about the cigar.

00:06:02.000 You see, the cigar is not the main character of the cigar night.

00:06:07.000 What is, however, is the lighter.

00:06:10.000 I recently purchased the lighter.

00:06:12.000 You can check the price yourself, because the price varies from different countries.

00:06:17.000 Made by DuPont. And it is a roulette wheel, complication, white gold, ruby encrusted DuPont.

00:06:25.000 With a real spinning roulette wheel.

00:06:28.000 Where every time I press it, you can probably hear it, even though the mic's bad.

00:06:33.000 Spins, 26 black.

00:06:35.000 Your lucky number if you're gambling tonight. 0.92

00:06:37.000 Again, 22 black.

00:06:40.000 And I know what you're going to ask, and I'm going to get into this in a second.

00:06:43.000 Tristan, why would you spend $55,000 American dollars on a lighter?

00:06:48.000 Why did you buy it for?

00:06:50.000 And the answer is very simple.

00:06:51.000 To light my cigars. Because this, although it's an intricate piece of jewelry with a Swiss watch mechanism and rubies and jewels, etc., it also has this really cool feature where if you flick it, flames come out.

00:07:05.000 And you can use that flame to light your cigarettes and cigars, which is what I'm going to do.

00:07:10.000 What an incredible legend.

00:07:30.000 It's certainly worth $55,000.

00:07:31.000 I mean, if you were to offer a caveman this level of technology, roulette wheel, the caveman would know how to gamble.

00:07:38.000 Gambling is around, go gamble.

00:07:40.000 But the technology to make fire from your bare hands, the caveman would think it was worth $55,000 or whatever the equivalent currency was at that time.

00:07:47.000 But today, everybody thinks, oh, no, you can get plastic layers.

00:07:50.000 You don't need a $55,000 cigar lighter, but they're wrong.

00:07:53.000 Which brings me on to my first topic of today's cigar evening. 1.00

00:07:57.000 Which is rich people making stupid and gratuitous purchases. 0.99

00:08:02.000 Because many people, since I've purchased that lighter, I've showed it to them, have said either, wow, what a walk of art. 1.00

00:08:08.000 That's a piece of jewelry in your hands.

00:08:10.000 It's absolutely amazing. What an accessory to go with your fine cubit cigars.

00:08:14.000 But a few people have said, what a waste of money.

00:08:17.000 You should not have wasted $55,000 American dollars on a lighter.

00:08:22.000 Here's why they're wrong. I'm going to tell you a little story about when I was younger.

00:08:26.000 I used to work as a security guard in a nightclub.

00:08:35.000 And I used to see rich people or people with money to waste go into that nightclub where I was making 100 pounds a day.

00:08:42.000 And they used to spend money on drinks and champagne upwards of 10, 20, 30,000 pounds.

00:08:48.000 You know how people do it in London.

00:08:50.000 I'm still having microphone complaints, Bailey. 0.83

00:08:52.000 So now as I sit here as a 34 year old man, everyone's saying shitty audio.

00:09:05.000 Fix mic. Mic's okay, roll with it.

00:09:12.000 Some people are saying it's okay.

00:09:14.000 Look, guys, the sound isn't as good, but I'm outside for a reason.

00:09:16.000 Town is muffled, allegedly.

00:09:18.000 Hopefully that's better. If that's not better, everyone else can kiss my ass. 1.00

00:09:27.000 If this is not better, you can all get lost. 1.00

00:09:31.000 Hopefully it's okay now.

00:09:32.000 Because he literally just swapped the microphone.

00:09:35.000 Mic is mid. Okay, if it's mid, get over it.

00:09:37.000 I'm not inside the podcast studio.

00:09:39.000 I'm outside. The wind is blowing, the sun is shining, planes are flying overhead.

00:09:42.000 If the sound is not perfect, literally get over it.

00:09:45.000 Muffled? Fine.

00:09:48.000 Great. They're just spamming.

00:09:49.000 Fine. And it comes to rich people making stupidly expensive gratuitous purchases. 0.99

00:09:55.000 When I was young, I thought it was stupid. 1.00

00:09:57.000 You see, I know there are people at home saying, oh, you know, well, you spent $55,000 on a lighter. 0.99

00:10:01.000 That's not okay. I'll tell you why it is okay, and I'll tell you why it makes perfect sense for me.

00:10:06.000 As a young man working in a nightclub for 100 pounds a day, And I saw people spend 20-30,000 pounds on champagne.

00:10:13.000 I think, oh man, what a waste.

00:10:15.000 Because if I had 30,000 pounds, I'd buy a new bed. 1.00

00:10:19.000 My bed was fucked. Oh, I'd upgrade my car. 0.99

00:10:21.000 I'd buy some nice clothes.

00:10:23.000 I'd go on a nice vacation. 1.00

00:10:25.000 These people are stupid. 1.00

00:10:27.000 Really, I was stupid. 1.00

00:10:29.000 And the reason I was stupid... 0.99

00:10:31.000 Is because I should have realized that by the time a man has the money where he can spend £30,000 on drinks on a Friday, that his bed isn't broken, his car is perfectly fine, top of the range, he has a lights house, he can go on vacation whenever he likes. 0.97

00:10:44.000 So I know that people are going to say that this life is a waste, but it's a thing of beauty, it's a work of art, and I like it.

00:10:50.000 And $55,000 to me is not what $55,000 is to most people.

00:10:55.000 And if I light this lighter and I want to light my cigarettes and my cigars with it, then why shouldn't I have it?

00:10:59.000 Because it doesn't make much of a difference to me.

00:11:02.000 If I were to spend $50 on a lighter, back when I was broke, people wouldn't think that was necessarily that stupid, but I only used to make about $50 a day working in my fast food jobs, for example. 0.83

00:11:15.000 I make more than $55,000 a day. 0.94

00:11:18.000 This is less than a day's work.

00:11:19.000 It's fine. So I like this lighter, and that's what the cigar meeting today is about.

00:11:23.000 It's not about the cigar, it's about this lighter, which I'm going to put on display for all of you to look at.

00:11:27.000 I'm going to try and get the gold one if it comes up for sale.

00:11:29.000 There's only 88 of these in the entire world.

00:11:32.000 And this is number five of 88.

00:11:34.000 So I'm going to try and get the gold one, but until then, you're going to have to look at this one on my cigar knife.

00:11:37.000 It's absolutely wonderful. Now, another question, which brings me to why I'm sitting here in my garden today, is, oh, you spent $55,000 on a lighter.

00:11:46.000 You could have given that money to charity. 1.00

00:11:49.000 Motherfuckers, what's wrong with you? 1.00

00:11:51.000 I am so tired of purchasing things and hearing from people who do nothing for charity and who do nothing for anyone else in the world what I could have done with that money instead that they would prefer me to do with it. 0.99

00:12:04.000 I give a lot more than the cost of that lighter to charity and that is actually why I'm sitting here in my garden today.

00:12:12.000 In a moment, a bunch of people are going to come out of the house when they're finished talking and giving their speeches.

00:12:18.000 And they are members of the War Room.

00:12:19.000 And the War Room members are here this weekend in a gathering to raise money for charity.

00:12:27.000 The War Room does events, which teaches various things.

00:12:29.000 How to dress, how to behave, how to act like a gentleman, how to shoot technical skills, sales, things that benefit you in life, things that help you grow as a man.

00:12:38.000 But the War Room Unlike the previous meetings we've done, this weekend, I decided to just host a bunch of war room dudes in my house.

00:12:48.000 Everybody donated amounts of money to Cherry at random, and the first 50 people got to come to my house to speak to me.

00:12:54.000 I think that one of the guys only donated a couple hundred bucks.

00:12:57.000 That was all he had. But here he is invited to my home in Romania.

00:13:00.000 I want to make something very, very clear.

00:13:02.000 I do not allow strangers into my house.

00:13:05.000 But the war room are not strangers.

00:13:07.000 A hit piece is coming out in the war room.

00:13:09.000 Matt and the DNG is working on it.

00:13:11.000 But what the war room really is is the network of men who all share the same vision in life.

00:13:16.000 They share the same attitudes, the same goals, the same aspirations, the same values.

00:13:22.000 That's who the war room is.

00:13:23.000 I used to hear many years ago that you only ever have five real friends.

00:13:33.000 And I believed it. I believe that.

00:13:35.000 I believe that you were very lucky to find five real friends ever in your life.

00:13:39.000 And the reason is because the world is not set up to make friends.

00:13:43.000 If you're a man of value and integrity, you have to walk through the world and by chance, every once in a while, when you meet a new man and meet a new guy, Find that he shares the same values as you and then take the opportunity to speak to him.

00:13:59.000 You're not going to find people like that.

00:14:01.000 So I had very few friends most of my life and a lot of you will probably find yourself with fewer than five real friends right now where you are.

00:14:09.000 I have more than a hundred friends.

00:14:13.000 A hundred men I could trust with my daughter, with my money, with business.

00:14:18.000 I could let them borrow my cars.

00:14:20.000 That's because these men I met from within the war room.

00:14:25.000 People ask me questions like, how did you and Justin Waller meet?

00:14:27.000 Everyone loves Justin Waller. He's becoming more prominent on the internet.

00:14:30.000 He's a big voice. And everyone's like, oh, you're friends with Justin Waller.

00:14:33.000 Where did you meet him? Justin Waller joined the War Room, and now he is one of my best friends.

00:14:37.000 And I have many friends, some I can name, some I cannot, who I've made friends because they've joined this organization.

00:14:42.000 So the War Room is absolutely wonderful.

00:14:44.000 Male relationships, platonic male friendships, are something that's lacking in this world today.

00:14:49.000 It's something that the Matrix and the mass media try to belittle.

00:14:52.000 They try to say it isn't important. 0.55

00:14:54.000 They try to make it gay. 0.99

00:14:56.000 But it's not. Male companionship and male friendship is one of the most important things in any man's life.

00:15:01.000 And if you lack it, you're not going to have a very happy and fulfilled life.

00:15:05.000 You're going to have all the women in the world.

00:15:07.000 If you haven't got a friend or brother who's got your back, when times get hard, you're going to struggle.

00:15:13.000 So that's what The War Room really is and what The War Room is really about.

00:15:17.000 They're all here because they donated money to Tate Pledge.

00:15:19.000 I would like you all to go to TatePledge.com because I'm not Mr.

00:15:23.000 Producer. I don't have the ability to spam a bunch of videos here, but I'm sure we will in the next emergency meeting.

00:15:28.000 But we've been doing some amazing work in Syria, some amazing work in Palestine, and the way that Tate Pledge works is very simple.

00:15:35.000 It's not a charity that tries to make money because we have no CEO, we have no HR, we don't film TV commercials.

00:15:42.000 Everything that we do The goal is towards providing children primarily in war-torn countries with food and water.

00:15:50.000 So we build pipes, sewage systems, water pumps, and of course we provide thousands and thousands of meals daily to parts of the world that are struggling.

00:15:57.000 We also finance schools in Syria to make sure that young boys and girls in the war-torn country of Syria can get a good education.

00:16:06.000 And the good thing about Tate Pledge is, because I'm so fucking rich, When these gentlemen who are here at my house donate money to take pledge, all of the money, all of it, goes to the people on the ground.

00:16:18.000 Obviously, there's a very small salary paid for the workers who actually go into sourcing the food, the teachers who go into running the school, and everything else goes straight to the people who need it the most.

00:16:27.000 So it's probably the most efficient charity in the world because I'm just a rich man trying to give back, trying to help people.

00:16:33.000 When you donate money to Oxfam with their expensive TV commercials and their CEO who makes six million a year or something crazy, how much of that money do you actually think goes to the people who are hungry, the people who are starving?

00:16:44.000 Let me tell you something. What shocked me when I started this charity project two years ago was this.

00:16:53.000 I can't believe how cheap things are in the third world. 0.97

00:16:57.000 We're sometimes providing meals, big meals that fill people's stomachs for 40 cents, 30 cents.

00:17:04.000 Sometimes they're a dollar, sometimes they're two dollars.

00:17:06.000 But when I think of all the billions Billions, with a B, donated to charity since the 1960s and 70s, since Live Aid was a big thing. 0.97

00:17:17.000 I think, what the fuck have these charities actually been doing? 0.98

00:17:20.000 Because if you give me access to the kind of money that these charities have, no one in the world and no child would ever be hungry ever fucking again. 0.99

00:17:28.000 I'm doing my part. 0.89

00:17:29.000 It's not perfect, but I'm doing my absolute best.

00:17:32.000 And I'm telling you that things in the third world are exceptionally cheap, and you could do a lot with a little. 0.99

00:17:37.000 If you are not selfish, if you're not in it for profit, like me and my brother are.

00:17:41.000 So, all the gentlemen who are about to come out here and start smoking cigars and having drinks and eating great food have raised over $200,000 in one weekend.

00:17:50.000 And all of that goes directly to the Tate Pledge, and that's why you're joining me in my garden.

00:17:55.000 So I've had a few topics that I wanted to talk about today.

00:18:01.000 Because I get asked a few questions, and there were some that were very, very interesting for the last cigar night that actually didn't take place.

00:18:10.000 So I've covered why I'm here.

00:18:13.000 I've covered why I'm outside.

00:18:17.000 But... We're going to get into the meat of the cigar night.

00:18:21.000 Now, everyone obviously watched me trounce Andrew in a race on the streets.

00:18:27.000 If you haven't seen it, go to rumble.com slash takeconfidential.

00:18:30.000 Me and Andrew engaged in a race where he took his $660,000 McLaren 765LT. There's only about 800 of those in the world.

00:18:39.000 The Romanian authorities, Seacott, have one of mine.

00:18:41.000 I'm going to talk about them at the end of this podcast.

00:18:44.000 And I was driving, of course, my 1979 Lada 1500, and I won the race.

00:18:48.000 How did I win the race? Everyone asks me, Tristan, why do you drive that Lada around?

00:18:54.000 I think some of you get it. If you're from Eastern Europe, if you're from Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, you understand the comedic value of driving a Lada around.

00:19:03.000 But a lot of people in the world don't get it. 0.97

00:19:05.000 So why do I drive a 1979-era communist Soviet Union-built piece-of-shit car? 0.98

00:19:11.000 I'm going to tell you why I do it. 0.98

00:19:13.000 Because I have every other car in the world, and I think it's special.

00:19:17.000 And I'm going to tell you the reasons why it is special.

00:19:20.000 Here's what you have to understand about business.

00:19:23.000 Business works because of competition.

00:19:26.000 That's the way the economy works in capitalism.

00:19:29.000 This cigar... Bad example.

00:19:34.000 You'll laugh at me if you know why.

00:19:36.000 This laptop is made by Apple.

00:19:38.000 Apple is a company in California.

00:19:39.000 Other companies make laptops.

00:19:41.000 They all make their laptops.

00:19:42.000 They try to make them cheaper and better and more efficient and faster with better features than other laptops at a lower price point.

00:19:49.000 And the people who nail the quality for price point mark tend to win in competition.

00:19:54.000 So, Milada was not built in a state of competition.

00:19:57.000 Ford, Hyundai, Honda, BMW, Audi.

00:20:02.000 Today in the car market, they're all competing one against each other.

00:20:05.000 McLaren. They want to make a car that's faster, better, the best features, at the lowest possible price point so people can actually afford to buy it.

00:20:13.000 And the companies that are the most successful at this stay in business, sell the most cars, and become the most popular.

00:20:18.000 Where the lotto was built at a very different time, and this is why communism doesn't work.

00:20:23.000 It was built in the Soviet Union.

00:20:26.000 And the Soviet Union wants something like this.

00:20:28.000 Okay, I'm the government who owns everything.

00:20:30.000 There's no private companies. There's no private industry.

00:20:32.000 I am the government. Our people need cars to drive.

00:20:39.000 Propose to me some designs.

00:20:41.000 Well, comrade, this is called a ladder.

00:20:43.000 I can build these at the factory that's owned by the government, and it drives and it moves.

00:20:48.000 Okay, good. That's a car.

00:20:51.000 Make ladders. The people in Russia drive ladders. 1.00

00:20:53.000 No choice, no competition, no foreign imports. 1.00

00:20:57.000 That's the way it works. So it's actually a time capsule.

00:20:59.000 I'm sitting next to it right here.

00:21:01.000 It's right here in front of me. It's actually a time capsule to a completely different time in human history, in civilization.

00:21:08.000 Which I don't think we're ever going to see ever again unless North Korea start producing motor vehicles, which they probably won't. 0.92

00:21:15.000 So I like the Lada.

00:21:16.000 I think it's very special. I think it's very unique.

00:21:18.000 And that is the reason I drive it.

00:21:20.000 I also drive it because I like it. 1.00

00:21:21.000 And if you don't like it, then you could fuck off. 1.00

00:21:24.000 But that brings me into competition. 1.00

00:21:28.000 Because competition is super important.

00:21:31.000 And that is another aspect of the war room that people don't understand.

00:21:35.000 Men need other men to compete against. 0.99

00:21:37.000 The reason Ferraris, McLarens, and Aston Martins are so fantastic is because these three companies are competing one against the other to provide the best, fastest possible car, the best product.

00:21:48.000 You yourself need something to measure yourself against and somebody to compete against to become the best version of yourself.

00:21:56.000 I will tell you right now, as rich as I am, I am currently not the richest man in my house.

00:22:01.000 There is a man here who is richer than me.

00:22:04.000 He is a member of the war world.

00:22:07.000 That makes me strive and want to be more successful.

00:22:11.000 Yesterday, everybody here was doing some boxing.

00:22:13.000 Of course, when Matt Schaefer took in more boxing, he was, oh no, he punched me in the face.

00:22:18.000 This is assault. Why does he want to do this?

00:22:20.000 We compete in boxing because the ability to be violent and to protect your friends and your family and your loved ones and your possessions is integral to being a man.

00:22:30.000 And some people did much better because some are experienced boxers and experienced fighters and some are not.

00:22:35.000 And those who are not today are promising us, promising us, as their group of friends, as their group of brothers, that they are going to do better in themselves, they're going to train harder, and when I see them again, they're going to do better.

00:22:47.000 We have people who are striving in business, people who are inspired by me, people who are inspired by the guy who's here as rich as me, I'm not going to say his name, and a few of the other people who are like, I'm going to be at the point you are if you give me what you do.

00:22:58.000 And if he's not, holding yourself accountable and competing with other men is super important to being an optimum man and an optimum human being, which is why McLarens are technically better than Lava's.

00:23:10.000 See how I Aikido roped it back in?

00:23:14.000 Skill. So competition between men is super important.

00:23:17.000 That is another aspect of what we do in the war room.

00:23:20.000 So these men's donations and how much the individual engagement pledge have not been made.

00:23:25.000 But the top ten donors Have been congratulated.

00:23:30.000 The top five are going to have people on the ground impart to my thank yous for the financial contributions they made, the meals they provided, because it lifts the heart.

00:23:42.000 It makes people feel good.

00:23:44.000 And the other people in the room are thinking, okay, well, I came here.

00:23:46.000 I didn't donate that much money. But next time we run a fundraiser like this, we can expect to raise a quarter of a million dollars.

00:23:52.000 A quarter of a million dollars in a weekend.

00:23:57.000 To feed starving children.

00:23:59.000 But that's not what people want to say about me, is it?

00:24:02.000 That's not what the media want to say about me.

00:24:05.000 So I'm going to talk about the main topic of today's Cigar Night, because I'm only going to be online for about 35-40 minutes.

00:24:10.000 It's not going to be as long as many of my others.

00:24:12.000 I'm going to get to your super chats at the end.

00:24:16.000 The big bombshell has dropped, ladies and gentlemen.

00:24:20.000 If you trust the BBC, I'm going to tell you they actually got something right.

00:24:26.000 The BBC got access to the case file, the indictment that was submitted to judges to say these men are human traffickers and these men are guilty.

00:24:38.000 Now this is a bombshell, ladies and gentlemen, and the BBC actually reported factually.

00:24:43.000 So you would think, after one and a half years, of investigating me, after spying on me and following me for six months, after locking me in a prison cell for three months, after going through every electronic device I have ever owned,

00:25:00.000 after searching every property that I have ever had, after talking to every girl who I have ever made love with, they Have completed this indictment to show the judge that I'm a human trafficker, and the BBC have got their hands on it, and the BBC are leaking information from the file.

00:25:17.000 So given the millions of dollars spent, millions spent trying to prove I am something I'm not, given the massive amounts of human resources used to try to prove that I'm a human trafficker, The indictment says, the bombshell, the worst thing the BBC could possibly find, because believe me, they want to find the worst thing, is that I once referred to my girlfriend as a slave.

00:25:46.000 Think about that.

00:25:48.000 BBC, if you're listening, That isn't the bombshell that you think it is.

00:25:53.000 If I were a left-wing political pundit and a social justice warrior and somebody who used virtue signaling, like you all do, when you cover up pedophiles and sex offenders like Hugh Edwards...

00:26:07.000 If I were like you, and you found a message of me saying to my ex-girlfriend, you're my slave, you could probably leak that and get me fired from a job at the BBC. But let me tell you something.

00:26:17.000 I did write that.

00:26:19.000 All of my WhatsApp conversations for my last four years were read in fine detail by the authorities to try to prove that I'm a human trafficker, okay?

00:26:31.000 I did in fact write that my ex-girlfriend Was my slave.

00:26:36.000 Now! Here's the important takeaways from that.

00:26:40.000 Can you imagine what should be in this case file?

00:26:44.000 If I am the man they say I am, there should be chains, dungeons, handcuffs, urine-stained mattresses, messages saying, bitch, get back out on the street, me selling people, transactions, I'll meet you here, I have three girls for sale, proof I've anyone traveled anywhere, me physically moving people from one place to another. 1.00

00:27:06.000 That's what human trafficking is. 0.99

00:27:08.000 Why? If the BBC got their hands on the indictment, do they print a story that says, I called my ex-girlfriend a slave?

00:27:17.000 Because, ladies and gentlemen, this is the great pencil.

00:27:20.000 The BBC lining this up for me.

00:27:22.000 That is as bad as the evidence against me gets.

00:27:29.000 Which is insane.

00:27:31.000 Because the girl who I called a slave, obviously, as a joke, One, did not make a complaint about me. 0.99

00:27:38.000 Two, is protesting that I'm innocent.

00:27:41.000 Three, has told everybody I'm a lovely person.

00:27:44.000 And four, it's not even about the girls who lied and came here.

00:27:48.000 I wasn't even talking about them when I said someone's my slave.

00:27:53.000 You have to ask yourself a question.

00:27:55.000 Does me what? Staying on WhatsApp.

00:27:57.000 Oh, don't worry. She'll clean the house. 1.00

00:27:59.000 She's my slave. Does that merit locking me, my brother, and my friends up in a fucking prison for three months? 1.00

00:28:07.000 Subjecting us and our families to the worst forms of physical and psychological torture. 0.99

00:28:12.000 Locking us in our houses.

00:28:14.000 I haven't been free since December 2022.

00:28:17.000 I'm still not free now.

00:28:18.000 If I leave the city limits of Bucharest, I will be arrested and thrown back in jail.

00:28:22.000 Because I once said a girl is my slave. 0.97

00:28:24.000 I did say that, BBC. You got that right.

00:28:27.000 But you have miscalculated how underwhelming that is as a bombshell after this level of media storm and investigation.

00:28:37.000 Yeah. Let me give you another example while I light my cigar with my $55,000 lighter.

00:28:44.000 If you're one of the investigators, obviously trying to put me in jail, if you're an immoral person, you'll never own one of these.

00:28:50.000 Gotta put God first, start doing the right thing.

00:28:52.000 I had a conversation one week ago with the mother of my daughter.

00:29:09.000 She sent me an image of my daughter drawing with crayons on the walls of the house. 0.98

00:29:14.000 And I said, haha, I'll kill her when I get home. 1.00

00:29:19.000 Now, I did say that. 0.93

00:29:21.000 Cut it up, take it out of context as much as you like, spread it around the world.

00:29:26.000 Because I said that, would you think it was prudent to spend millions of dollars investigating me for potentially being a homicidal child murderer?

00:29:37.000 Would you think it prudent to take me and my brother and my friend and lock us in prison for month after month after month while you investigated the possibility that we run an organized criminal group that conspires to kill children when no children are harmed, no children are murdered, no crime has ever taken place?

00:29:56.000 But I did say in a message... 0.98

00:29:58.000 I'll kill her when I get home. 1.00

00:30:00.000 That is exactly the same as what has happened to me, ladies and gentlemen, because the core of the evidence, the piece of evidence that makes me look the worst, is me saying, ha ha, this girl's my slave, she'll clean the house, she's my slave. 0.99

00:30:15.000 Does that mean I enslave people?

00:30:17.000 I am a half-black man.

00:30:19.000 I am a descendant of African-American slaves.

00:30:22.000 Does me making a joke that my ex-girlfriend was my slave mean that I'm in fact a slave owner?

00:30:29.000 You can make up your own minds.

00:30:31.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I encourage all of the affiliates and TikTokers out there to cut this argument up and put it out there. 0.96

00:30:37.000 Because this is the bombshell that the BBC have dropped.

00:30:40.000 I'm going to give you another example.

00:30:42.000 of evidence leaked from the case file that's in the news I would like to address.

00:30:47.000 One girl Who is friends with another girl.

00:30:51.000 We've all seen... I'm not allowed to talk to these people.

00:30:53.000 And I do not talk to these people.

00:30:55.000 I want to make that part to be clear. We've all seen the girls online saying, I'm a victim in this case file.

00:31:00.000 I've told the police to take me out.

00:31:01.000 I'm not a victim. This is my friendship group.

00:31:04.000 They're all my friends. No one's even trafficked.

00:31:07.000 Dropped the investigation. This is bullshit. 1.00

00:31:09.000 Everyone's seen those girls. 0.99

00:31:10.000 These are girls in the case file listed as victims. 0.98

00:31:12.000 Everyone's seen them protest my innocence online probably 20, 30 times.

00:31:16.000 They keep doing it. I'm not telling them to.

00:31:18.000 I have no communication with them.

00:31:20.000 But because they care about us, and they care about Georgiana, Luana, and the other girls involved in the case, they are actively fighting to get their names and victims from the case file.

00:31:29.000 Now, bombshell from the case file.

00:31:33.000 Ready? Strap yourselves into your seats, ladies and gentlemen.

00:31:36.000 This indictment was built and put together to prove I'm a human trafficker.

00:31:41.000 Bombshell from the case file.

00:31:45.000 All of these girls, the girls who are locked up, the girls who are said to be victims, but they're not, mess around on TikTok, as everyone does.

00:31:52.000 I'm banned from TikTok, I don't have TikTok.

00:31:54.000 Half the people here probably have TikTok.

00:31:56.000 And they did TikTok live streams of their own accord by themselves and posted TikTok videos and all helped each other out, built each other's TikTok up.

00:32:04.000 During one conversation once, With all context ignored, I'm going to say the clip first.

00:32:12.000 It was said by one girl, if you don't make some TikTok videos this evening, I'm going to throw you off of a balcony. 0.84

00:32:24.000 Bombshell. Wow. 0.96

00:32:27.000 I guess Tristan Tate is a human trafficker.

00:32:31.000 That is the second bombshell taken from this indictment.

00:32:35.000 Now, I know that when girl A typed that to girl B, girl B read it and went, ha ha ha, she's so funny.

00:32:44.000 I know that she was not actually seriously thinking that she was threatened of being thrown off of a balcony.

00:32:52.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the house she lives in has no balcony. 0.54

00:32:59.000 But that, again, is another bombshell from the file.

00:33:01.000 So when the BBC think it's fun to leak tiny bits of information, by the way, the full conversation, which wasn't submitted to the judge in the indictment, they only posted that little one line.

00:33:12.000 Full conversation was, hey, babe, how you doing?

00:33:15.000 Oh, I'm good, babe. How are you doing?

00:33:16.000 I'm fine. I was making TikTok videos today.

00:33:19.000 Yeah, 6 o'clock is the best time to post.

00:33:21.000 Oh, I didn't make any TikTok videos today.

00:33:23.000 Oh, well, ha-ha, you're lazy. 0.89

00:33:25.000 If you don't make any, I'll throw you off the balcony. 0.93

00:33:27.000 That was the full conversation.

00:33:29.000 Which is in the case files, but not in the indictment, because obviously they're trying to make me look guilty.

00:33:34.000 So that is the second bombshell.

00:33:36.000 Can you imagine if you found a real human trafficker, what would be in that case file?

00:33:45.000 Can you imagine? Think about it.

00:33:46.000 Someone who kidnaps, sells, and trafficked women.

00:33:49.000 What would be in the indictment for the judges to look at? 0.93

00:33:51.000 So although the BBC and a bunch of these stupid news organizations, the MSN, the fake news, think they're very clever by leaking these tiny bits of the case to try to make me look guilty, let me explain something to them.

00:34:03.000 You know who else looked at my indictment? 0.92

00:34:06.000 Judges. Honorable stand-up judges, educated judges, who understand law, who understand what a crime is, who definitely understand what a joke is.

00:34:18.000 And every time a prominent Romanian judge has looked at the indictment, at least one of them, if not both of them, have voted to release me and loosen my restrictions.

00:34:31.000 If there was evidence in that indictment that I was actually, in fact, a human trafficker, that would not be the case, and it shouldn't be the case, because human traffickers belong in jail.

00:34:42.000 So, Matt Shea, the DNG, is working on A new hit piece about me.

00:34:48.000 Bombshell from the case file.

00:34:50.000 I called my ex-girl for the slave once. 0.92

00:34:51.000 Oh my god, lock me up. We'll be there.

00:34:54.000 Amongst the usual probably fake witnesses, faces blacked out.

00:34:58.000 I'm gonna guess there's gonna be a bunch of fake screenshots in there.

00:35:01.000 And yeah, good luck, Matt. 0.99

00:35:04.000 But you're a loser and no one cares what you think. 0.99

00:35:07.000 Now, I've got one question that I actually wanna answer. 0.99

00:35:14.000 Before I go back to talking about what's going on here in my house tonight.

00:35:17.000 Because this I thought was a very interesting one.

00:35:20.000 I have a social media platform.

00:35:24.000 I'm not banned everywhere.

00:35:26.000 I am allowed on X, formerly Twitter.

00:35:31.000 And I was having a very interesting conversation with somebody and people keep asking me about what I think about X and the future of X and how I think the free speech movement is going and how Elon is spearheading it by taking over this company.

00:35:46.000 And I also get asked, hey, Talisman, do you want Instagram back?

00:35:49.000 What would you do if you got Instagram back?

00:35:52.000 I'm going to explain to you why I do not want Instagram back.

00:35:56.000 The best thing Instagram could do for themselves as a company is to let me back immediately, today, tomorrow, reinstate my account.

00:36:09.000 And I'm going to tell you why.

00:36:11.000 Because if I was giving my Instagram back now, I would use my Instagram.

00:36:17.000 And me and my brother would have two of the biggest, most active accounts in the world, and a lot more hours being spent on Instagram, because Instagram are losing the social media for.

00:36:26.000 And the two biggest soldiers for any social media platform have been cut off of Instagram because of their woke ideology.

00:36:33.000 The best thing Instagram can do is to allow me back on Instagram immediately, and I'm going to tell you why.

00:36:41.000 Elon Musk is too smart and Elon Musk is going to bury Instagram.

00:36:48.000 What do you mean by that?

00:36:50.000 What do you mean Elon Musk is too smart?

00:36:51.000 What do you mean he's going to bury Instagram?

00:36:53.000 I'm going to tell you what I mean. He is going to bury Instagram for the simple reason that Elon Musk is Elon Musk.

00:37:02.000 Give me five minutes. Before Mark Zuckerberg Got into the social media game with Facebook.

00:37:11.000 Who was it?

00:37:14.000 He was a guy who built websites.

00:37:16.000 Some guy in college who built websites.

00:37:18.000 Jack from Twitter, that guy from MySpace, I forgot his name, Tom.

00:37:22.000 Who were they? Guys who could build websites.

00:37:25.000 And they built these websites. The websites took off.

00:37:29.000 They were some of the first things, I guess, to go viral.

00:37:31.000 Do you have a Facebook profile?

00:37:32.000 Do you? Oh, I do.

00:37:34.000 And they spread around the world.

00:37:36.000 These people making billions of dollars in the process.

00:37:38.000 Billions. But they are just guys who build websites.

00:37:44.000 I have not seen a single thing from any of these men, besides their initial websites, that has impressed me at all.

00:37:52.000 Remember Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse?

00:37:54.000 How many people use the metaverse?

00:37:56.000 Zero. It looked like a cheap, bad, graphic, World of Warcraft-style office simulator, and surprise, surprise, the billions invested in that, it didn't take off.

00:38:08.000 Poor Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook did, because Facebook was, I guess, a relatively new idea.

00:38:14.000 Instagrammed it, relatively new idea.

00:38:16.000 But these guys are just guys who built a website, and in a way, got lucky.

00:38:21.000 That's why they will never ever be able to compete with top-key space master, king of the low Earth orbit, Elon Musk.

00:38:32.000 And I'm going to explain to you why.

00:38:33.000 Elon Musk. Isn't just some dork who built a website. 0.93

00:38:37.000 Elon Musk is a killer. 0.97

00:38:40.000 Elon Musk took over businesses like Tesla, an electric car company, and everyone laughed at him and laughed at the concept and turned it into the most successful, one of the most successful car companies on planet Earth. 0.88

00:38:52.000 But planet Earth wasn't enough for Elon Musk.

00:38:54.000 No, no, no. Elon Musk took to the stars.

00:38:57.000 He looked at rockets built by NASA and the Soviet Union during the space race by pioneers like Wernher von Braun, who were geniuses, former Nazi, genius nonetheless, and said, this isn't good enough.

00:39:08.000 After the rocket shoots in space, we should be able to land them afterwards.

00:39:11.000 Everyone laughed at him. They laughed at him and laughed at him.

00:39:13.000 NASA astronauts laughed at him. 0.99

00:39:15.000 And he fucking pulled it off. 1.00

00:39:16.000 He built the fucking dream. He's going to space. 1.00

00:39:18.000 He owns one of the most successful car companies in the world.

00:39:21.000 He may even revolutionize transport within cities as a boring company takes off.

00:39:24.000 We'll see. With his hyperloop.

00:39:26.000 Absolute killer. He's a monster. 1.00

00:39:30.000 So who was Elon Musk before he got into the social media game? 0.94

00:39:34.000 Elon Musk. It was Elon Musk.

00:39:37.000 And now he's taken over a social media platform. 0.97

00:39:40.000 This isn't some dork who built a site. 0.74

00:39:43.000 This is arguably the smartest man on the planet. 0.97

00:39:46.000 Because I believe intellect alone is enough.

00:39:48.000 I believe intellect applied proves intelligence.

00:39:52.000 Oh, this kid has an IQ of 170.

00:39:54.000 Great. What have we done? Nothing.

00:39:56.000 Stephen Hawking hated people bragging about IQ. I don't even know what Elon Musk's IQ is.

00:39:59.000 I imagine it's high enough. But he is applied intellect.

00:40:03.000 And become the most successful man on earth.

00:40:07.000 You can't argue with results.

00:40:08.000 If you do better, you do better.

00:40:10.000 Elon Musk is the smartest man alive, as far as I'm concerned.

00:40:13.000 And he now runs X. Let me tell you something.

00:40:16.000 Instagram, for banning me.

00:40:18.000 YouTube. All of you people for banning me.

00:40:20.000 I think your time is limited.

00:40:22.000 Because I think You've been a little cage of chickens running around pecking at each other and a lion has just been released into your chicken coop.

00:40:31.000 And I think you are done.

00:40:32.000 I think you are finished.

00:40:34.000 So I will say it one more time to the social media platforms who thought it was a great idea to ban me for trying to motivate young men and for doing car reviews and dressing in nice suits.

00:40:44.000 I'm going to tell you right now the best thing you could do Is to unban me now and make hay while the sun shines.

00:40:52.000 Because when Elon Musk and X kills Instagram, when engagement on all these platforms drops to near zero, when X is a payment processor and a way you can send money to each other and to store your photos, and when these people on Instagram with millions of followers who get nothing in return are doing the same thing on X and getting big checks every month for the interaction that they cause on the website because Elon is a man who is honorable, And your platforms are dying.

00:41:20.000 Then, and only then, I believe you may make the decision to bring back Tristan Tate.

00:41:26.000 To bring back Andrew Tate.

00:41:28.000 What a revolutionary headline.

00:41:30.000 Tristan and Andrew Tate back on Instagram.

00:41:33.000 And if you do it, too late, when X is already burying your profile, I'm going to upload a picture of Elon saying, Elon owns this platform.

00:41:44.000 Go to x.com.

00:41:48.000 So now it's your chance, social media companies in the world.

00:41:51.000 That's what I think about the future of social media, and that's what I think about what's happening.

00:41:59.000 That was one of the main questions I wanted to answer tonight.

00:42:02.000 This broadcast is going to be a lot shorter than a lot of them because, of course, all of my esteemed guests and colleagues are over here waiting for me to join them for drinks and conversation to celebrate how much money we've given to charity and the great things we've done, and hopefully so we can network and make a few new business partners, maybe even some new friends.

00:42:21.000 Crystal clear to all of you out there, I only make my friends from within the world.

00:42:25.000 I only make my friends from within the War Room.

00:42:28.000 Because I know before I speak to you, before I invest the two hours it takes to get to know you, that you are at least aligned with my values.

00:42:36.000 And the War Room's values are simple.

00:42:38.000 Strength, honor, physicality, intellect, bettering yourself, becoming the best version of a man that you could possibly become.

00:42:49.000 I await the hit piece from Matt Shea, the DNG. All of the men in the war room were making a promise to each other. 0.88

00:42:58.000 A promise to themselves and a promise to each other about the next time we meet up.

00:43:02.000 Because men need to hold each other accountable.

00:43:05.000 I'm going to be stronger. I'm going to lose this much body fat.

00:43:07.000 I'm going to make this much more money.

00:43:09.000 I'm going to have read 40 books.

00:43:10.000 I'm going to have done this. I'm going to have done that.

00:43:12.000 And they repeated that promise in front of 30 or 40 different men here in my house.

00:43:18.000 Because he knows by saying in front of us that we're going to hold him accountable for it.

00:43:22.000 So I think I'm going to end this broadcast after just 45 short minutes with the promise that I made to the men of the war room.

00:43:31.000 You see, I make lots of promises to myself every day, and I make lots of promises to my brother.

00:43:36.000 And I never, ever disappoint myself.

00:43:39.000 But if you repeat a promise in public, it becomes more real.

00:43:45.000 If I give my word to the 400,000 people who will eventually watch this podcast, It means something.

00:43:54.000 And what I promised to the men at my house was very simple.

00:43:58.000 Everybody in life has these goals and these aspirations, and they're giving examples about wanting to have more children, you know, wanting to improve their relationship with their kids.

00:44:07.000 I, right now, couldn't give an example because I don't know what my future has in store for me.

00:44:16.000 For one of the first times in my life, My destiny is no longer in my own hands.

00:44:21.000 I am not the sculptor molding the clay.

00:44:25.000 Ideally, and going by what's happening right now, the judges who are clearly Talented, wonderful people are making the correct decisions every time.

00:44:36.000 So hopefully it's only a matter of time before a series of correct decisions sees me liberated and sees this ugly chapter of my life behind me.

00:44:44.000 But there is also a possibility, I guess, because I am wrapped up in the legal system, not that I'm guilty of any crime, but that for some reason I will see myself in prison for five years, ten years.

00:44:57.000 God knows, the people who are trying to do this to me are powerful and they are determined.

00:45:02.000 The judges are standing in their way.

00:45:04.000 God bless them. Here's my promise that I made to the war room, and I'm going to make the same promise to all of you, my friends and fans who join me on these wonderful cigar evenings.

00:45:16.000 My promise is this.

00:45:18.000 No matter what they do to me, I will never, ever, ever Break down crying like some other prominent masculinity coaches and male mentors out there in the world who cry like babies all the time when they're asked hard questions or when they go through hard times.

00:45:36.000 I will never mentally break.

00:45:37.000 I will never become an alcohol or a drug addict.

00:45:40.000 I will never go to a therapist.

00:45:41.000 I will never say I have depression.

00:45:43.000 I will never apologize for anything I've ever said.

00:45:45.000 And I will never apologize for anything I've ever done because the Lord knows I've broken no laws and committed no crimes.

00:45:52.000 I will never apologize for being who I am.

00:45:55.000 I find it very strange that when somebody has a sexual deviation, or they say that they're transgender, they can say, I was born this way.

00:46:03.000 And they instantly get let off the hook for anything wrong they do.

00:46:06.000 I have done nothing wrong. But this is a quote from Ice Cube, actually, in his interview with Tucker Carlson.

00:46:11.000 He said, you know what? I was born this way, too.

00:46:14.000 And I feel that. That's who I am.

00:46:16.000 I am Tristan Tate.

00:46:17.000 I will never break down. I will never falter.

00:46:19.000 I will never apologize. I will never stop talking to you.

00:46:21.000 I will never go offline.

00:46:22.000 I will never stop streaming on Rumble.

00:46:24.000 I will never stop posting my opinions on X. I'm going to continue to talk and continue to be me.

00:46:28.000 And I will never, ever, ever let them mentally break me or let them mentally upset me.

00:46:33.000 To the people who are trying to do this to me, you will never, ever, ever get to me.

00:46:39.000 I will go to jail for the rest of my life with my chin held high and a smile on my face because I know I'm innocent.

00:46:47.000 Most of the world knows I'm innocent.

00:46:49.000 And I know who I am.

00:46:51.000 So that's my comments to the world.

00:46:53.000 You can always count on me.

00:46:54.000 And for all of you out there who send me nice messages all the time saying, I look up to you like a bigger brother.

00:46:59.000 I look up to you like a father. For some of the younger guys, I'm always going to be here for you.

00:47:04.000 They're going to have to kill me to stop me. 0.99
