Tucker Carlson’s Episode 9: The Andrew Tate Interview
This could very well be the most controversial of the Tucker on Twitter episodes, because he does what no respectable journalist is allowed to do: interview Andrew Tate.
Tate, who made his fame as a professional kickboxer, then became an influencer and a motivational speaker on YouTube and other platforms with a message which is most definitely not acceptable to the legacy corporate media narrative collection.
He’s an advocate of traditional masculinity. He tells men they should have principles and standards and that they should resist the feminization of culture.
For example, he says men shouldn’t accept girlfriends who lie to them. That when situations arise in which a woman is found to lie to her boyfriend, he shouldn’t tolerate it. He also says men should strive for excellence in their own right and not depend on a relationship with a woman to find happiness.
For that he’s been called a misogynist and a sexist. And they’ve demonized him as a criminal without having any evidence of any criminal behavior he was guilty of.
And then in December of last year, he was arrested by authorities in Romania, where he’s lived for the last seven years, on human trafficking charges. The evidence to support those appears largely nonexistent – supposedly, Tate convinced women he was associated with to open TikTok accounts and make TikTok videos for him to profit off of, but the females in question deny he did anything and there are apparently no transactions to prove any ill-gotten gains. Nevertheless, he spent three months in a Romanian prison and to this day he’s under house arrest.
Carlson asks him all about the case and his message, and about life in general. It’s a two and a half hour podcast interview, but it’s fascinating stuff.
