Uh and boy, howdye m are we 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.160 talking about Andrew Marie Tate. We just finished talking about 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.600 Hustlers University. Uh. And we're about to get into Hustlers 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:14.360 University two point oh, because Andrew understands branding if nothing else. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.440 But before we get into that, I wanted to talk 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.880 a little bit. So obviously, while this is going on 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.800 while he's launching this series of online classes and deliberately 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.400 courting controversy online by saying like funked up shit about 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.720 women to go viral. He's also constantly guesting on every 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.959 right wing podcast that will have him. Um and because 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.600 of the world is the way it is, info Wars 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.920 is the first place he's able to like really get 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.040 some traction, and he's going to abandon them as soon 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.280 as he can, like everybody who gets their start out 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.319 info Wars, because it's a dead end. You want to 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.880 you want to escape Info Wars and get on. He's 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.200 going to eventually be interviewed by like fucking Pierce Morgan 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:56.880 and ship um, but at first he he's reliant upon them. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.800 And Alex Jones sees the potential in this guy and decides, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.080 I want to try and make Andrew a part of 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.840 my business, which is the thing that that Alex does regularly. 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.400 And it leads us to this beautiful ad for the 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.639 supplement line that Alex made branded based on Andrew Tate. Um. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.600 So here's an ad for Andrew Tate branded Info Wars supplements. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.720 Oh boy, oh this is this is a real treat 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.040 for everyone to get a job, the man to get 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.320 a job. They inflate the currency so nobody can exist 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.560 in any other way because it's too expensive. The parents 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.079 are not working all day to school and the Internet 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.040 and the matrix raise your children. Your children go to 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.880 school all day and be told things that you may 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.480 not want them to learn. Then they sit on the 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.440 Internet and read things and watch things you may not 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.440 want them to watch. You talked to him for ten minutes. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.760 At the end of the day, they go to bed. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.800 You're fighting with your ten minutes against endless hours of 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.880 the most entertaining programming or the most forceful programming, And 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.120 school is forceful on the Internet's entertaining, convincing them of 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.560 ideas that you perhaps don't agree with. I've seen it 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.120 myself on YouTube. I've seen a guy in America driving 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.520 his car and his kids were in the back seat 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.520 and he was our with them an issue and they 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.640 was like, where did you hear that? School? He's like, 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.360 why did the school tell you that that's not true? 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.480 And his own children are arguing with him because they 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.080 learned to in school. Have you ever tried to take 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:10.920 your children out of school? You'll get fined, You get 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.560 in trouble. Now your kids have to go to school. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.400 You have to give your kids away to the school. 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.600 If you don't give your kids a way to the brainwashing, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:21.120 you'll get in trouble. As an all starfighter, businessman, motivational speaking, 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:29.160 it is it is like here we go. This is 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:34.440 so fin I thought andrew something up. No, just leading 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.960 us in with like this mix of Christian conservative fearmongering 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.560 and like divorce dad fearmongering. It's perfect, It's perfect. And 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.840 then we get Alex let's go. Speaker and philanthropist Andrew 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.200 Tate has truly earned the title of top G. But 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.920 there's another title Andrew Tate hold that has enraged the globalist. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.000 He is consecutively the most googled man in the world 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.120 in the last two years, and that's because his message 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:07.080 is about human and specifically male empowerment. Now Andrew Tate 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.640 is taking his fight to empower and supercharge men to 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.440 the next level introducing top G Supplements.

They're the highest quality on the market. I 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.000 think there's a whole bunch of men in the world 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.080 who understands my value. And if men grow up to 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.280 be like me, you're gonna have a whole bunch of 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:48.960 people with no criminal record, dedicated athletes. Alright, that's probably enough. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:56.440 No criminal record, Buddy scares in that video, So first amazing, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:04.960 it's it's lawlessly third of Jake Paul's face. Yeah, did 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.320 you see the names of the supplements on the Yeah, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.719 let's let's go through that. That's probably that's that's probably 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.040 it was. They were like those names from that Like 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.080 other video we watched in the last episode was like 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.800 sheer per per. I don't even know those words, like 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.159 sheer perdacity or perspicacity. Yeah, perspicacity, those are like the 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.960 names of the supplements. And because he's trying to do 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.560 like a Mohammed Ali thing, right, Like Mohammed Ali would 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.080 always describe himself and he's very florid off in like 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.840 rhyming terms. But Mohammed Ali also uh could back up 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.880 every single thing he said about himself, um, which which 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.880 Mr Tate cannot um. But it also doesn't matter because 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.080 it's all about it's all about making making the image work. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:55.400 So one Andrew Tate's image is working very well. He 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.320 has become one of the most popular accounts on Twitter, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.320 on Instagram, am, He's got a pretty prominent YouTube. He 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:06.240 is huge on TikTok. You know, we're talking like millions 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.600 and millions of followers and combine several billion impressions just 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.360 in like the top g term on TikTok and ship um. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.320 And so he launches Hustlers University two point oh. So 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.839 he had been selling a bunch of different classes. He 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.760 pairs that down and he focuses just on money making schemes. 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.480 And the gist is this for about fifty dollars a month, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.360 you get the classes for free. Um and you also 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.080 get let into this discordse Sorry, for fifty dollars a month, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.680 you get the classes for free, so um um. But 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.960 what about the fifty dollars a month? Well, sorry, you 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.880 don't get the classes for free. For fifty dollars a month, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.400 you get access to the classes and to a series 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.359 of Discord rooms. Discord is like a chat service you 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.800 can do voice and text chat um. And basically what 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.440 he's what he is selling is I built this community 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.800 of people who have gotten rich using my tactics, and 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.000 if you pay this monthly fee, then you'll get to 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.080 hang out with us and they will coach you on 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.120 how to make money and you can watch all of 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.680 our videos on how to make money too. And he 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.560 damn it, that's like kind of brilliant on two levels. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.880 And I hate it for it because a subscription model 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.360 is just passive income coming in every month as long 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.080 as you can maintain that subscriber base. And now he 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.000 has other people doing the work for him. He has 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.840 comity doing the teachings, he doesn't even have to do 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:29.160 an actual and the schemes that he's because he has 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.080 like you get to pick like one of three or 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.160 four different money making paths to go down when you 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.920 join Hustlers University. It's a little like a video games 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.800 but and they're all kind of boring. Basically, you can 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.040 choose to either learn how to day trade like do 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.080 stock trading, or learn how to sell cryptocurrency, or learn 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.840 how to run like a copyrighting mill where you're basically 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.040 paying people pennies to write like terrible, shitty fake books 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.000 to take advantage of Amazon's algorithm and trick people into 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.920 paying like two dollars for um. There's also a lot 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.320 the Amazon affiliate ship. A bunch of it involves taking 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.600 advantage of like the ways that Amazon works. Um. And 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.800 it's one of those things if you watch YouTube and 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.080 you don't have YouTube read or whatever the funk YouTube 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.960 calls their subscription service, which I don't because I'm lazy. Um, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.760 you get all these like shady ads from people telling you, like, 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.240 I'm going to teach you how to make a bunch 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.040 of money off of YouTube or off of Amazon, Like 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.240 did you know that you could get rich, you know, 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.679 creating Amazon affiliate links or with Audible or whatever. That's 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.000 all he's doing. But instead of selling it as like 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.280 the shady video just on how to make money using Amazon, 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.239 he's giving you access to this community of of distinguished 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360 men who all smoke cigars and post pictures of how 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.120 much money they're making. Um. And because all these other guys, again, 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.880 it's it's taking a lot of these MLM tactics where 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.679 you're surrounding yourselves in this community of other men who 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.160 are going to be bragging constantly that they're making money. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.839 So you feel like, if I'm not making money, it's 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.520 not because this video is bullshit, it's because is I'm 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.880 not hustling hard enough, I'm not taking advantage of all 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.120 of the great advice that I've gotten. Um, it's it's 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.360 it's a pretty clever thing to do. Um. And he 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.920 does encourages people like post your sales, post which you're 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.600 making this month, and all of that's kind of gamed 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.000 and and a lot of it's very scammy in the 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.880 same way that like a lot of MLM stuff is 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.200 where it's like, yeah, just post your raw sales, don't 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.840 tell people what your netta is, don't tell people how 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.400 much money you had to put into the business to 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.840 make it work. All that good stuff and take again 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.440 is barely present on the actual Hustlers University discord. But 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.679 what he does do is when he launches this new 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.760 version of the service, he spins up his media appearances 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.480 and like all these different right wing podcasts and hustler 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.840 culture podcasts to push the push the store, and he 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.120 He also alters his branding at this point. Earlier he'd 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.600 kind of been indistinguishable from he'd been kind of at 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.600 the nexus of pickup artist and all right political weirdo, 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.840 but he increasingly pivots to positioning himself as kind of 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.160 like at jacked Rich Jordan Peterson, Um, and I want 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.040 to play you a video that gives you an example 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.360 of that. Let's quickly talk about like the red pill 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.600 to day game guys, and this is why they're wrong, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.160 and this is what they don't understand.

The 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.040 correct way to get pussy like I have is to 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.960 absorb the energy from everyone in the room and then 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:35.600 expel it in a fireball, a lightning strike of power 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.760 and prowess. So all the bitches what a fuck you? 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.959 And they pray You come and say hello. That's how 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.400 you get bitches. You don't go and beg them and 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.040 give energy a way, No, you steal the energy from 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.839 every other male and then you expel it in a 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:56.200 ball of fucking lightning. What's happening? Find him? Sounds like 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.960 he's been watching a lot of dragons, Like what the 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.480 hell is he talking behind someone's cleaning his house? But 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.920 why is she so close to him? Because he likes 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.480 to show you that, like that's a big part of 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.320 his He does this in all of his like a 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.520 lot of his videos. He'll make sure that like his 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.960 cleaning lady or one of his cam girls is like 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.839 doing a task behind him to like make the point 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.280 that he's got all these women working for him, right, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.079 Like that's that's a huge part of the tape, myth um. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.280 But what he's doing here in this video is interesting 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.920 to me. He's he's deliberately he's he's he's positioning himself 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.720 as the opposite of both these whiny men's rights activist 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.920 guys and of the standard pickup artist crew. And he's 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.520 all this talk about height, let's talk about alpha's. He 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.520 is playing two in cells because like he knows that 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.240 very young men, mostly in their late teens, who are 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.480 like angry about the fact that girls don't like them 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.719 and angry about the fact that like they're they're they 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.520 don't have all of the money and success. They think 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.040 that they're owed that like that's his that's his business, right, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.240 that's his fucking bread and butter um. And is he 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.280 why is he choosing to like alienate all the short 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.360 people He's He's not, He's not. This is actually a 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.800 two part con And what he's what he's doing here 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.600 is he's getting them. So I was gonna say, it's 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.680 like kind of sounds like he's like dunking on exactly 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.559 who he like is targeting. But I think it's probably 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.840 like a little reverse. He is doing, yes, some some 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.440 negging and stuff right to get the to get these 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.520 guys riled up. But he's also so if you remember 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.440 back if I don't know if any of you read 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.640 Elliott Rogers manifesto Elliott Roger being the first in cell 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.040 mash shooter. Um, he he talks a lot, and he, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.800 like the entire in cell community was formed initially as 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.880 a reaction to pick up artistry. Right, all of these 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:46.840 guys who uh feel like there's something inherently wrong with 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.040 their bodies that makes it impossible for them to pick 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.679 up women and in an unfair way, or that feminism 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.160 has ruined it Roger was obsessed that because he wasn't 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.120 like tall enough or white enough, right, that he was 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.520 never going to to to get a girl. Um. They 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.680 shelly when they were like younger, fell into pickup artistry 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.840 and when that didn't work because none of it works 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:11.120 very well, Uh, they became violent, psychopath Like they became violent, right, 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.160 Like they just they decided like not only was the 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.400 like pickup artistry a con but all of society deserved 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.120 to pay for the fact that they got conned by 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.320 pickup artists. Andrew recognizes this, and so the first thing 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.000 he's doing is he is going after the pickup artists, right, 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.840 and he's going after it in a way that's going 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.440 to get all these in cel dudes like agitated, but 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.800 is also going to play to the fact that they 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.600 realize they're being conned by these people. Um, and I 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.000 think that's an interesting choice. And the other thing that 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.520 he's doing, he starts by talking about how like you're 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.800 not alpha if you're not tall enough, right that all, 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.520 but but he's also framing it as like these pickup 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.800 artists aren't real alpha's because they're not they're not big. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.960 And it sounds at first like he's kind of going 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.120 into this, it's hopeless. If you're not tall, you'll never 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.480 get a woman. That's actually not the claim that he's making. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.240 I'm gonna you another clip that's kind of an extension 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.160 of his message that shows how he's talking to these 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.360 in cell folks after he gets through with the kind 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.360 of slamming the uh uh slamming the pickup artist crew, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.040 and the message that he has for the actual people 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.120 being taken advantage of by the pickup artist community is 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.240 kind of liberatory in a weird way. Now, I am 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.160 genetic gifts. I understand you do not have, but I've 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.520 I've also worked on my genetic so I didn't just 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.840 have them. You know, I worked. But even if you 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.560 if you did the work I did, you'd still be 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.920 taught one percent even without the genetics, because you have 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.880 no idea how hard I've worked. But the point is, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.720 if I teach you how to absorb energy from everyone 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.320 else around you, then you instantly become the most powerful 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.600 person in the room. So there's not only so much 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.000 about being big and being strong and having a lamb 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.480 boksbout absorbing energy and attention. So you people do not 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.240 understand and not inn percent of the things people teach you. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.000 They teach you how to expel energy. You can expel 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.000 and lose huge amounts of energy, chasing bitches and trying 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.120 to make money you don't get enough back, whereas if 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.040 you can flip the script, then the whole world changes. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:10.840 This is what you need to understand, so that there 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.480 He's insufferable, is it? But that's this is worth really 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.840 drilling into and paying attention to, because this is an 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.280 extremely appealing message to the kind of young men who 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.080 are like on the edge of where Elliott Roger was right, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.680 these children and are these guys they're they're starting out 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.560 in the world. Mostly we're talking young white teenagers or 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.960 not though not exclusively, but like men, and it's it's 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.560 hard out there. Obviously, it is still easier to be 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.520 a man or a white man, it is to be 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.840 basically anything else, but it's not as as much easier 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.840 as it used to write. And some of that's because 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.320 things are less unfair than they used to be in 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.200 some regards, and some of it's just because the economy 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.400 has gotten worse. The world has gotten harder. A number 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.320 of things, there's a lot of ships gotten uglier. Capitalism 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.880 has kind of gotten more undeniably brutal, even to the 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.200 chunk of people who were initially being uh lifted up 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.120 by it. Um. And so these kids get out there 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.639 and ship's not as easy. They're not getting handed the 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.880 things that they're supposed to get handed, and a lot 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.960 of them turn nihilistic. And the radical right has always 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.639 targeted men in this age group and socioeconomic group um. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.520 And these are again young people who recognize and some 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.840 of what they're recognizing, like with Robert Blig's folks, is fair. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.119 There's a degree a lot of atomization in our society. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.040 It is not encouraged for men to have like intimate 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.760 friendships with other men. It's deeply lonely. Um, it's deeply 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.320 competitive in a way that's really vicious. And these people 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.800 are suffering, and the Right always has has made a 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.280 lot of their early recruitments by kind of coming in 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.880 and finding these men, trying to make sense of their 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.600 suffering and offering them an answer. Um. But while the 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.439 kind of in cell youth culture that has been deeply 0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.399 influential online is super nihilistic, Tate is reaching out to 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.960 these people, and he's preaching to these awkward nerdy kids 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.720 with social anxiety, but he's offering them a sense of 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.120 hope where he's like, yeah, you're not gonna be like 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.560 me because you're not six three, if you're like five seven, 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.040 But if you put in the work I've put in, 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.640 you can still be in that top one per cent. Right. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.680 It's about taking an absorbing energy, and I have these tactics. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.440 Your genetics are not the only thing that matters. Right, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.280 You can actually overcome that with enough work, um and 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.960 find a way to to to make money and get 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.840 you know, women, right, Like that is actually the pitch 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.480 that he's making, And for the people who are kind 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.000 of adjacent to these in cell communities, that's a more 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:41.000 optimistic pitch than they've been getting from a lot of people. Again, 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.639 if you spend a lot of time on some of 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.520 these in cell boards, it's dudes obsessing with like oh, 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.439 because of the my chin is only this wide and 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.240 not this wide, so it's physically impossible for a woman 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.159 to love me, or like I have this like epicantic 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.879 I fold or whatever, Like my my nose is this 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.840 size and so I will never have sex, and like 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.280 the is a biological reality, and what Tate's actually saying 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.480 is the people telling you this are full of ship. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.680 But also like, um, I have a tactic for how 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.040 you can and it just involves hard work. It doesn't 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.960 matter that you don't have these genetic gifts. You actually 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:19.520 can overcome that. And this is when you start talking 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.160 about Tate on any kind of open forum, right, you're 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.600 gonna get people coming in and saying some version of 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.200 He's the only reason I'm alive. He kept me from 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.840 killing myself for like I think he's he's talking And 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.440 this is because as toxic as he is, finding Andrew Tate, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.440 if you are one of these young men who might 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.960 have gone Elliott Roger might be better for you than 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.840 like falling down the rabbit hole you would have fallen 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:48.160 down before him. That's not an necessarily an an accurate statement. 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:53.320 He tricks them into having hope. Yeah, exactly. And again 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.480 the point I'm making here, I am not saying that 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.560 he is a net good. He's absolutely not. But when 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.199 people people who are specifically look like we're kind of 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.440 in danger of falling into this in cell rabbit hole, 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.320 if they find Tate, that might be better for them 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.200 than the road they would have gone down. Now that's 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.040 a small subset of the folks who are actually encountering 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.440 his stuff. But when people make that point, it's not 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.920 there's not nothing there but and it's not because take 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.600 cares about saving kids. It's because this is how to 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.600 get money from them, right exactly. And it just speaks 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.040 to again how exploited of the whole thing is, because 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.400 you're already you're going after these people who are already 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.560 very clearly vulnerable and at a low point, and you're 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.840 just praying on that and taking advantage of it. And 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.200 it's just like, yeah, it's just disgusting. It's all disgusting. 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.840 But I also think it's really worth understanding the degree 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.600 to which he understands the online ecosystem he's feeding in, right, 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:52.080 And that's why them that, you know, their greatest insecurities 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.720 don't matter as long as they're you know, they try 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.520 to be like him and be to man. Yeah, be 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.679 a top g yeah. Um. One of one of his 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.000 big lines is you don't have to be handsome if 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.840
