=== Most Googled Person (03:43) ===

[00:00:00]  Tate would be an interesting subject, Richard.
[00:00:03]  I'll let you go with that.
[00:00:06]  Okay, well, so he's been arrested again.
[00:00:09]  So to give the background on the matter, he went to Romania, according to his own words, because they didn't have laws there, or they at least didn't enforce them, which is a kind of odd statement.
[00:00:29]  To make.
[00:00:31]  He did.
[00:00:33]  I mean, Tate isn't lying when he boasts about being the most relevant human on the planet.
[00:00:42]  Like when he says, I'm the most Googled person and your nine-year-old knows who I am and your nine-year-old can't name the...
[00:00:52]  Vice President of the United States, or the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank or whatever.
[00:00:57]  All of that is, it may be exaggerated slightly, but that's actually pretty accurate, sadly.
[00:01:04]  I actually asked my, my nephews are in their early 20s, and I was actually asking them, over New Year's dinner or something, I was kind of curious, and I was like, have you ever heard of Nick Fuentes?
[00:01:22]  And neither of them had.
[00:01:23]  It just went over their head.
[00:01:25]  They were like, who's that?
[00:01:26]  Never heard of him in my life.
[00:01:27]  And I was like, okay, that's interesting.
[00:01:28]  And then I was like, do you know who Andrew Tate is?
[00:01:30]  And they were both like, oh, yeah.
[00:01:33]  I was like, oh, God.
[00:01:35]  This is totally depressing.
[00:01:39]  But so he became extremely relevant with the Manosphere and a kind of combination of a lot of things.
[00:01:46]  Like there was the Manosphere, there was...
[00:01:48]  All of the red pill stuff.
[00:01:50]  And then there was also this, you can become a billionaire by hustling.
[00:01:56]  So very similar to that guy.
[00:01:59]  I don't know if I ever knew his name, but you've certainly seen him on YouTube at least four or five years ago.
[00:02:06]  He would do a video of his garage and there would be a Maserati or Lamborghini his garage.
[00:02:13]  And he'd talk about reading three books a day.
[00:02:18]  How you just hustle your way to multi-millionaire status through the internet and blah, blah, blah.
[00:02:24]  Tate, I think, picked up on that as well.
[00:02:26]  I mean, he had these like hustle university or whatever it's called, et cetera, where he would teach you to do things.
[00:02:33]  And it was all a huge scam.
[00:02:36]  You know, maybe 2% of the people made money doing drop shipping on Amazon or whatever the fuck he was offering them.
[00:02:45]  Everyone else just got fleeced.
[00:02:48]  And there was no, obviously, value to what he was offering.
[00:02:54]  And so it was this kind of weird combination.
[00:02:57]  And then they had the man himself.
[00:02:59]  I mean, he can, you know, he's a former kickboxer.
[00:03:02]  He's obviously super in shape, maybe steroid-induced, but who knows.
[00:03:07]  And, you know, to be...
[00:03:10]  Entirely charitable.
[00:03:12]  I mean, there were some funny things about him.
[00:03:16]  I remember this one clip where he was like, you've got to understand.
[00:03:25]  See, I'm a deep thinker.
[00:03:27]  You're playing checkers, I'm playing chess.

=== Sincere Christian, Sex Trafficker? (10:21) ===

[00:03:29]  I'm on a much deeper level here.
[00:03:31]  So I ask you this question.
[00:03:33]  You have the hottest transsexual on the planet.
[00:03:38]  And then you have...
[00:03:40]  The ugliest heterosexual woman.
[00:03:43]  So the woman will look like Hulk Hogan.
[00:03:46]  She'll literally have a mustache and big muscles.
[00:03:49]  And the transsexual will look like Megan Fox.
[00:03:52]  And so I ask you, which is gayer?
[00:03:56]  It's just funny.
[00:04:01]  I mean, I have to say, it's just so ridiculous.
[00:04:03]  That sounds funny.
[00:04:04]  I'm going to have to Google it.
[00:04:07]  It's kind of like Nick Fuentes when he's having sex with women is gay.
[00:04:13]  It's so outrageous and kind of gets at some weird teenage mentality that it's just funny.
[00:04:23]  I'll kind of hand him this.
[00:04:26]  But the other aspect of this is there are two more aspects that are worth talking about.
[00:04:31]  The other one is that he is By his own admission, engaging in a sort of sex trafficking.
[00:04:40]  Now, whether it's legal sex trafficking or not, I don't quite know.
[00:04:47]  But he is creating a harem of women on OnlyFans and chat rooms and live streams in his house.
[00:04:59]  And he's taking a percentage of them.
[00:05:02]  Even if that is legal, like, let's say they all consented to do this, it's extremely disturbing and dubious and etc.
[00:05:13]  I don't even need to go into it.
[00:05:15]  Yeah, but I think it actually probably was illegal.
[00:05:20]  And that's what he's being charged for.
[00:05:22]  And when you're doing that kind of stuff, you kind of do start to question, like, what else are you doing?
[00:05:31]  When you meet people who have a harem of girls in a house and they're all doing OnlyFans, you're not jumping to conclusions where you're like, oh, and are they also prostitutes?
[00:05:50]  Or, oh, are they also sex slaves?
[00:05:53]  Or, oh, are you also beating them for pleasure?
[00:05:58]  You're not like...
[00:06:00]  Jumping to conclusions by asking those questions when someone is doing that.
[00:06:04]  You know, I don't need to say more.
[00:06:09]  So anyway, there's the other aspect of he just became this god on the alt-right.
[00:06:14]  And all of these alt-right people made pilgrimages.
[00:06:16]  I mean, like, I hate to even say it because I don't have any, like, animosity towards them.
[00:06:21]  But like, you know, like Michaela Peterson visited Andrew Tate.
[00:06:27]  You know, like...
[00:06:28]  I'm sorry, what happened when you visited Andrew Tate?
[00:06:32]  You know?
[00:06:33]  Maybe he didn't have sex with you.
[00:06:35]  I don't know.
[00:06:36]  What else happened?
[00:06:36]  I mean, like, there's just these questions that are raised by this.
[00:06:41]  And I even saw all of these guys, even some of these red pill guys that I knew at some point, like Dennis Mangan, who I remember wrote for AlternativeRight.com.
[00:06:51]  I mean, I remember him coming out in favor of Andrew Tate.
[00:06:54]  And he was like, well, I talked to Andrew Tate.
[00:06:57]  I don't know if he ever visited in Romania, but he seems like a great guy.
[00:07:02]  I can't imagine he did this.
[00:07:04]  All this nonsensical defense of Andrew.
[00:07:09]  He's a great guy.
[00:07:12]  Lots of criminals are really fun to be...
[00:07:15]  Most criminals are probably fun to talk to.
[00:07:22]  It's a totally irrelevant defense.
[00:07:28]  The connection between all of the right-wing and even mainstream media and Andrew Tate is incredible.
[00:07:38]  Candace Owens, PJW, or Paul Joseph Watson, they all visited Andrew Tate.
[00:07:44]  It's like he was this node for about two years there.
[00:07:49]  What is going on here?
[00:07:51]  It's true.
[00:07:51]  The other aspect of what is going on here.
[00:07:56]  I'll post this video in the chat or something.
[00:07:59]  So I found it last night.
[00:08:01]  There is this guy on YouTube.
[00:08:02]  I don't think I've subscribed to him, but I've watched a few of his videos.
[00:08:07]  And I think the name of his channel is What Do You Meme?
[00:08:12]  And he's this black American guy.
[00:08:14]  He's very laid back.
[00:08:16]  And he's actually a sincere Protestant.
[00:08:20]  And he does kind of like discussions of internet culture.
[00:08:23]  I don't even know how I came across him.
[00:08:26]  It must have just been the algorithm or something.
[00:08:30]  But, you know, the guy's cool.
[00:08:33]  Like, he's fine.
[00:08:34]  He is a sincere Protestant believer who talks about culture and stuff like this.
[00:08:41]  And he did this video, and I saw a video about Andrew Tate, and I watched it, you know, and I was, you know, relaxing or whatever.
[00:08:49]  And he got at something that I found kind of fascinating because he basically, so he is a sincere Christian and he was saying that like, what do we make of all of these influencers going over to Christianity?
[00:09:03]  So like 10 years ago, Dave Rubin was an atheist and now he's Christian or Christian sympathetic.
[00:09:11]  Andrew Tate also did atheist stuff.
[00:09:16]  And if you're a Christian, you're weak-minded or whatever.
[00:09:20]  This was all 10 years ago.
[00:09:22]  And he had evidence.
[00:09:24]  He had videos of them talking this way.
[00:09:26]  And they've all just kind of come over to Christianity.
[00:09:29]  And actually, this guy, who's sincere, was kind of like, is this a good thing?
[00:09:35]  Because they're making really bad arguments for the faith, basically.
[00:09:43]  Is becoming a Christian now this kind of way to own the libs effectively?
[00:09:49]  And is that actually bad?
[00:09:51]  Because from his standpoint, you don't become a Christian because it's badass or whatever.
[00:09:59]  You become a Christian because you're going to hell otherwise, and Jesus has sacrificed himself for your sins.
[00:10:07]  That's why you're a Christian.
[00:10:08]  And there may be other reasons, but...
[00:10:12]  That's the sine qua non of why you're a Christian.
[00:10:15]  And if you're a Christian for another reason, you should maybe question.
[00:10:21]  So he's basically saying these guys are making terrible arguments.
[00:10:24]  But isn't it interesting?
[00:10:26]  So I saw that, and there's this trajectory of atheism to Christianity.
[00:10:32]  And you see this Nico.
[00:10:33]  There was some other guy that got in a Twitter battle.
[00:10:37]  I didn't even respond to him, but he got into a Twitter battle with...
[00:10:41]  Our buddy, oh gosh, why am I forgetting his name at the moment?
[00:10:47]  He was on the show, Adam Green.
[00:10:50]  And he got into a Twitter battle with us.
[00:10:55]  And this guy claims to be a Christian, but he also claims to be fucking 100 chicks a day or something.
[00:11:02]  He's this weird character, like an Andrew Tate acolyte or Andrew Tate light.
[00:11:09]  And they've all adopted all this stuff.
[00:11:12]  And they've also adopted a kind of QAnon, like the world is satanic.
[00:11:16]  This was Andrew Tate's justification for God.
[00:11:19]  It was a bizarre, nonsensical one, which is like, there's so much...
[00:11:23]  The devil clearly exists because we see Hollywood and transsexuals or whatever.
[00:11:29]  So the devil clearly exists, and thus God must exist.
[00:11:33]  And thus I'm a Muslim.
[00:11:35]  I mean, total nonsense, but...
[00:11:37]  I don't know.
[00:11:39]  And isn't it interesting that all of these people become Christians?
[00:11:45]  That's kind of like the end point of the right-wing grip.
[00:11:49]  And Tate himself, who has some connection, maybe it's just a selfie connection, photographic connection, but some connection with Saudis, is promoting Islam while he is...
[00:12:07]  You know, engaging with teenage boys on TikTok in the most, you know, low-hanging fruit, common denominator way.
[00:12:15]  Like, he's just basically talking about, you know, women are bitches, you want to get laid, go fuck them, treat them like shit, get a big car.
[00:12:23]  Like, he's engaging in this, like, teenage fantasy nightmare, you know, way.
[00:12:30]  And then he's also kind of slipping in Islam on the side.
[00:12:34]  Like, oh, and by the way, Isn't it interesting that these characters are all promoting that?
[00:12:48]  Isn't it also interesting that the foundation of the alt-right, as it emerged, was Trump to a primary degree, but was also the refugee crisis in Europe of these And in a sexualized version of the refugee crisis.
[00:13:07]  So he's like all these young men are crossing borders and they're raping white women, you know, like Cologne, Germany and, you know, New Year's Eve of 2016.
[00:13:18]  They're just gang raping women in public and whatever.
[00:13:24]  And isn't it interesting that like.
[00:13:27]  That was such a primary and remains just such a primary motivation for the right.
[00:13:33]  And yet their hero becomes a Muslim sex trafficking gang rapist.
[00:13:41]  Isn't that curious?
[00:13:43]  What do we make of that?
[00:13:45]  I don't know.
[00:13:46]  But anyway, these are my thoughts on Tate.
