Virtually every tech company on the planet
Banned him.
not just his presence,
but also his ability to conduct business on the Internet. He was taken off Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, all of it.
Then they started telling you
THAT NOT ONLY WAS HE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK, BUT YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE WAS AN INCREDIBLY BAD PERSON.
IN OUR VIEW ON THAT,
always is we'll decide for ourselves since we're adults and americans and we'll listen to anyone we want and we'll come to any conclusion we care to come to
about what that person is about.
So we sat down at some length and talked to Andrew Tate,
And we wanted to show you some of it so you could make up your own mind, which you're still allowed to do as far as we're concerned.
Here's part of the interview.
I don't really feel like I've exposed anything. Like, I'm truly not a very political person. This is the first time someone's experienced this level of ban. I'm not
particularly right wing, I don't vote.
I mean, I obviously have my own personal views, but they didn't ban me for that.
They banned me simply because
I had large swaths of the population
agreeing to very traditional masculine values
Teenage men and young men, 22, 23, 24.
were looking up to me and aspiring to be like me. I have a very traditionally masculine life.
I have fast cars and a big house and a lot of money and a beautiful girlfriend.
And they thought this was very, very threatening. And for some reason,
They decided that it's better if they annihilate me from the internet and replace me with somebody who's more aligned with
whatever they're trying to purport.
TELL US WHAT YOUR MESSAGE IS TO YOUNG MEN.
Yeah, so I think that being a man is very, very difficult.
I think that men's issues are largely overlooked.
"The people in charge of the world pretend to care,
But when somebody who's champion
championing
men's issues like myself comes forward and finally manages to garner
huge.
percentiles of the public support
I'm silenced. So they're not really interested in men's issues. And there's a lot of young men growing up today that feel very disaffected.
THEY FEEL INVISIBLE.
The agendas that are being forced down their throats are not agendas they align with, or they feel affinity to, or agendas they want.
And I basically just say to men, look, it's a very hard life.
You're going to need to get up, work hard,
Go to the gym, strong body is a strong mind.
You're going to have to reject.
listening blindly to everything you're told, reject the slave mind, think for yourself,
Get a strong network of brothers, work aside them.
Don't tolerate low quality people in your life.
which means don't tolerate men who just smoke drugs and play video games.
or men who are disloyal or dishonest.
By extension,
Don't tolerate women or girlfriends who are disloyal or dishonest.
and try and build and create a reality full of high quality people in which you can resist the programming that the Matrix tries to
influence you with.
and grow up truly happy.
What happens is when I say these things, they ignore 95% of what I say,
They ignore me saying that you need to avoid low quality men.
And they take the bit where I say, avoid women who are dishonest.
And then they put it on a reel, a very short three or four second clip.
And then they say I'm a misogynistic person and I'm dangerous to women and I need to be banned. The problem is that the majority of young men in the world today are completely invisible.
AND SOCIAL MEDIA HAS MADE THEM INVISIBLE.
If you go into an Instagram feed,
You have extremely beautiful women, which is fine.
They're beautiful, they're allowed to take pictures. But the only men who have followers are men with massive social status, right?
men with Ferraris and money or rappers or people who have YouTube channels, interesting people. If you're a normal man with a normal job,
You don't really exist in the online world. It's very difficult to get followers. Nobody replies to your DMs. You don't really matter.
you don't have access to the sexual marketplace, it's very difficult for you to even get any kind of recognition that you're even alive.
And a lot of men feel lost and lonely because of that. And I was championing to a degree their issues by saying to them, look,
That is unfair perhaps, but that's the way the game works.
You need to become a man of importance. You need to become a man of influence or you're going to suffer the pain of being invisible forever. Here is how you do it. I wasn't trying to change the rules of the game. I was just telling the men how to win because I came from nothing and I'm completely and utterly self-made. And
I think the reason a lot of men are so depressed is because they feel invisible. They feel like the life is too hard. Women expect me to be strong and smart and funny and interesting with a nice apartment and a fast car and tall and well-connected and funny. And it's just too much for them to handle. And the social pressure on men is absolutely immense.
And I was championing their issues
And at the same time, all these social media platforms pretend to care
As soon as somebody they resonate with stands up and champions their issues, they mass blanket ban me.
which shows they have absolutely no care for the young men of the world today. They think that by banning me, I'm just going to vanish, and the young men are just going to go and
start eating the gruel that they're fed on their on their youtube feed they don't want to read they don't want to see transgender people wear makeup they don't want to see that they want to see a man who has a bunch of money and a nice life and some fast cars and is strong and is confident they want an action hero
And that's something that
large portions of the world still want to be. And YouTube and social media platforms obviously just don't like the idea of that. They want to get rid of me and try and replace me with something they see as far more malleable, trying to create people which are more malleable and more easy to program and more easy to control. So news accounts in the United States say that the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest, Romania,
THE FAMILY WAS TIPPED OFF
to your misdeeds and alerted the local authorities you might be committing human trafficking and
I'm not sure.
given that this is the same charge they leveled against Julian Assange or a species of it. You know, skeptical, but I want to know the details. Were you arrested for human trafficking?
What happened?
Yeah, I was not arrested. So what happened is I suffered from a case of swatting. It's very popular with people who are large on the Internet. Many large YouTubers have been swatted. It's where you call the police and you say somebody has a gun or there's a hostage situation and the SWAT team arrives.
Somebody made a phone call to the American Embassy saying that I was holding women at my house.
The police arrived.
And let me state this now, I state this
openly to the world. I have absolute respect for the police.
I WOULD HATE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE IF YOU CALL THE POLICE SAYING WOMEN ARE BEING HELD AGAINST THEIR WILL THAT THE POLICE DON'T RESPOND.
That would be terrible. Of course they should come and look. Absolutely. They turned up.
They investigated.
They realized that nobody was in the house against their will.
There was no crime committed. They said, "Okay, you're not a suspect.
but you are a witness to this, along with me, my brother, the housekeeper,
The gardener, everybody who was in the premises at the time was labeled a witness.
We had to go to the police station for 45 minutes for pieces of paper.
We filled them in and we were let go. I was swatted.
Nobody was hurt. There's no human trafficking. There's no women who were tied up. There's none of these things. It's all just
complete fallacy. You
probably made some of these companies mad with reviews on COVID.
So sum up for us, if you would,
what you think the response to COVID globally did to the populations of the West?
Yeah, so I certainly made them mad with my dues on COVID.
I don't want to go to conspiracy theory, and I would also never kill myself. Let me just say that here for the record.
But at the time of COVID,
At the time of COVID first being announced,
my brother and I decided to, we sat and had a very logical conversation and we sat and said,
We're two young fighting age males.
If COVID can kill us,
then the world is over.
It's zombie apocalypse time.
So there's no point hiding.
we may as well go out with a bang.
So my brother and I flew to Stockholm, Sweden,
Now, I don't know if many people know this, but Sweden never closed down.
Stockholm and Sweden at never closed down.
never made you wear masks.
never mandated the vaccine.
at the very beginning of COVID, when the rules were strictest, when Florida was still closed, when Miami was still closed,
when the Republican states were still closed,
Stockholm, Sweden was wide open with full nightclubs
and a party scene like you've never seen.
And we lived in Sweden for three solid months.
with zero restrictions, zero worry or interest in COVID. It was like the world was completely normal. And from there, when we left, obviously COVID was still going on. And in a neighboring country, you go to Germany,
and they were having full panic attacks.
genuine panic attacks if you didn't have a mask on.
And it was just very obvious to me. I was like, I've spent the last three months ignoring this, and I'm fine. And now I'm in Germany, surrounded by panic attacks.
And endless math, this doesn't make sense.
And I told the truth on social media. I said, this is obviously an overreaction.
The decimation of your income, the fact you can't go get a doctor's appointment for a genuine ailment or a genuine risk of cancer, for example, the fact that you can't see your loved ones in their final days, these things are far more destructive than the common cold.
I think that what they're doing is unfair. I think it's a massive overreaction.
And this is based on my personal experience. And I think at the time there was a lot of pushback, but I would like to think now,
that 99% of the world see I was totally right.
You know, it's kind of funny, Tucker, I'll tell you. At the height of COVID, I used to say to my brother,
How will people struggle with the cognitive dissonance when this is all over?
Because
COVID is still out there.
Nothing's gone away.
The thing that we were all hiding from
is still right there, out there to get you.
But now everyone walks around and they're not scared of it anymore. And I'm like, are people critical enough?
to analyze themselves and say, "For a year of my life, I was deathly afraid of something. Now I'm exposing myself to said thing, and I'm not afraid anymore. The media tricked me, and I was a fool."
But they're not.
They don't even seem to self-analyze and go, "I got tricked."
They're just like, oh, okay, next thing. Hey, Andrew, now.
Like robots.
It's mind bending to me, truly.
So I saw you compare the experience of rich people under COVID, you're one of them, to everybody else. What did you notice about that? It seemed like a two-tiered response.
Yeah, so the story was very simple. I was flying inside of Europe. There's a lot of low-cost air.
air carriers, it's only low cost primarily. There's not much first class, business class, anything like that and I was flying.
and my experience was plagued by endless paperwork,
wearing a mask,
put the mask over your nose. Every time you eat, you have to put the mask on in between.
I got told off for not having the mask up high enough. I got told off for drinking too long, 'cause my mask wasn't on.
pure panic and chaos.
And because I'm fortunate enough to be fiscally secure, from there, I decided I'll just buy private jets from now on.
And when I bought a private jet, there was no masks, no paperwork, no mask at the airport. When I landed, my air stewardess was not wearing a mask. My pilot was not wearing a mask. COVID didn't exist once I bought a private jet.
Very interesting.
Maybe if you're rich enough, COVID can't take, maybe COVID's scared of money, I'm not sure. But it seems that everyone who's flying on private jets never had to worry about COVID ever.
It's just the people at the bottom who had to worry about COVID. And it's kind of interesting, right? Life's always been two-tiered. There's always been--
this separation in regards to fiscal access. But I think a lot of people in the world today don't realize that it still very much exists. And a lot of the rules are only the rules for a certain class of people. And once you pass a certain wealth index or a certain level of money, you can do basically whatever you want. And COVID really highlighted that to me. And it's truly sad. I mean, it's easy for me to make a joke of it. But when I would fly on a private jet and do whatever I wanted or go to Sweden and party in nightclubs and do whatever I wanted, and then
grandmother because of a COVID restriction.
That's truly sad. That's truly criminal. I don't, it's really crazy what's happened and how the world's just moved on and the cognitive dissonance that people don't have enough respect for themselves and for the truth to analyze how they were so easily fooled. It's really sad to even think about. But maybe that was the beginning of me being disliked by just pointing out my human experiences during the pandemic.
the pandemic.
But I want to tell you something.
That's actually kind of scary about this banning.
It all came so hard and so fast.
that I don't know if they all just follow each other. I don't know if they're all influenced by each other. I don't know if there's someone above them all.
I don't know.
But when they go to cancel you,
Ladies and gentlemen.
It comes hard and fast.
you lose your Facebook, then your Instagram, then your Gmail, then your Discord.
than your website hosting, than your domain name.
Like then your payment processor, then your bank.
It's just like in real time, you're watching your phone and apps just exploding. Boom, boom, boom.
It's crazy.
Andrew Tate, you don't have to agree with everything a man says to believe he has a right to speak in public, and we do believe that.
No one gets to tell you who you can watch. No one gets to tell you what you have to think. No one gets to tell you who you have to hate.
You're an American, an adult. You can make those decisions yourself.
So why don't they want you to hear from Andrew Tate?
THEY REALLY THINK HE'S A
worse influence on the youth than, say, Cardi B.
TELL US HOW.
They're telling us he's a criminal.
Okay.
THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?
Thank you.
It's going to take a lot more than that.
to have us believe he should be canceled. Or anyone else, by the way. We're against censorship.
Period.
AND MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE'RE IN FAVOR OF PEOPLE MAKING UP THEIR OWN MINDS,
based.
ON THE EVIDENCE, LIKE ADULTS DO.
