Transcript
Welcome to the Cars of Money podcast. I'm your host Chad Nasser. In this episode, we have the fourth-time kickboxing champion, Andrew Tate, aka Top G. Some topics were sensitive to polls, so we have edited this episode to what we're allowed to show to the public.
Enjoy! Andrew Tate! Hello, sir. How are you? I'm good, man. I'm watching my attraction.
I was just about to watch that podcast, but we had to make the call, so this is more important. That's right, bro. Where are you based? Detroit, Michigan.
Nice, nice. What's it? I haven't been to Detroit in a long time. What's it like over there now? Um, the weather is nice. The city is growing. And I saw one of your videos that you were in Detroit with your father here, right?
Long time ago, bro. That's where he got attacked at a gas station. Really? Long time ago. Man, that's so crazy.
Crazy world. I'm looking forward to see you here at some point.
Yeah, absolutely not. It's probably not the place you'll want to be in, but...
Okay, well good to see you brother. Thank you bro, thank you. Okay, so a few questions for you, okay?
So who were you?
in the past? Who did you grow up with?
as like a young Andrew Tate? That's a good question who I was. That's a very good question. I think I was fairly normal. I had an exceptional upbringing because I had exceptional parents.
But I went through a hard life. I mean, I
I had a single mother and we changed countries and had to change school and that kind of thing.
but certainly overall I'd say I was a relatively normal kid I don't think I was
particularly exceptional as a child. I was always very, very smart.
But, yeah, I definitely had normal friends and that kind of thing.
What about high school? Who were you in high school?
it's weird because I wasn't like...
a geek and I wasn't particularly popular. I was the guy who kind of like, no one really messed, no one messed with me. No one really wanted, no one wanted to smoke.
but I was kind of left alone. I wouldn't say I was an outsider. I just had one or two friends and kept myself to myself. I wasn't
in any particularly large social circles.
Sometimes I was invited to the biggest party with the cool kids. Sometimes I wasn't.
But I was never picked on. I was just kind of my own little social circle if that makes sense. How did you change?
I don't think I have changed. I don't think I can. I don't think I conform now. I think that I was always non conformist.
And even as it stands now, I'm a non-conformist. And that's kind of how I got myself in this position, right?
I could have got famous and just...
sold out and just started towing the line and saying the shit they wanted me to say and been like Logan Paul and just had a big channel and just spoke shit. But I kept telling the truth.
And it got me in a little bit of trouble. That's why they banned me. So I think I've always been the same. I think there's just a lot of people out there who are looking for the truth.
Awesome. Okay, so your parents, you talked about your father a lot. Okay. How much impact did he have on you?
Oh, he had a massive impact. My father was my hero, he was the most important person in my life, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. I was very lucky to have such an amazing father.
and i understand that lots of people are not as lucky as me to have a father like that however i do think as a man it is your duty to try and seek out father figures to
in some regard, or not even father figures, but people you respect and you want to emulate. It's very easy to be good as a man if you just choose the five people you want to be and take the best parts from each one.
and try and emulate it and emulate their mindset and their successes. And I think that I had a good role model to begin with, but there's also other fantastic role models in the world.
Who is your old mother?
Well, my father was the first one, but I've had a bunch. I've had my kickboxing coach. I've had my uncle who I worked with.
even people i didn't know were my role model bro if i i saw people in a ferrari back when i was broke and i had no money to a degree i was like how
How is he doing what he's doing? Even if I didn't get to speak to him, I wanted to know something he knew.
You know, I think you have to just be very honest with who you are, what you want, what your intentions are, and try and think about the kind of people who have those things.
and try and see if there's any qualities about them, even bad things. Right. So let's look at it in a real negative way. Let's say you want to be rich.
and you know a rich drug dealer. You don't want to be a drug dealer. 100% you don't.
But you want to be brave? He's brave at least. I mean, the dudes might go to jail, right? So there's always some kind of quality in these people you can emulate. And you have to just look at the people who have the things you want.
and try and emulate their qualities.
and make sure that you have the substance to back up those qualities without coming across as fake or superficial. And then life's pretty easy to do.
What?
What about now? Because I know you and your brothers are just like you have huge bonds. Who else is in your inner circle?
That's a good question. I have the war room, which is my private network. So inside of my private network is the war room. And that's where I have a lot of my people and a lot of my closest friends are inside the war room. I think most of my business is done exclusively inside of the war room. But that's certainly my closest network. And there's some other amazing people in the world. Like I'm the one who may be the most visible, but there's other people who are extremely competent, extremely professional.
extremely capable.
And that's my private network now, The War Room. There's not going to be people who are about it like you. They're going to be either lazier or distracted,
Or they're not going to want to really, really try. And that's the great thing about the internet. The internet will allow you.
to find these people out there in the world. Because they do exist, but they're just few and far between. So who do you let in in the war room or like your inner circle?
Yeah, the War Room is an application you can apply on CobraTake.com. You can join. After you join, there's a process. The War Room is constantly evolving.
So the good thing about the War Room is that everyone can join, but every three months, people are kicked out.
So after you join, you have to work to keep your place. And this means across time, we get a tighter and stronger network and stronger and stronger people inside of it. Anyone who's lazy or doesn't work or doesn't level up or doesn't follow the path.
or doesn't improve themselves,
ends up kicked from the organization. So we're the only organization in the world that does that. We don't we allow people to join, but we will kick you out if you don't try hard enough. And that's how we have now have 2300 people.
in around 62 countries.
And we have people everywhere, bro. Loads of people in America.
You name a country, we have someone there and it's fantastic. If I go to fucking Belgium or India or Nigeria, I can message the war room and there's already a member there and they can hook you up and it's a really good network to have. So high level of accountability. That's what it seems like. Yes, absolutely. I love that you talk a lot about your brother. I have an older brother myself. Unfortunately, he's overseas and he cannot...
come to the US. I haven't seen her in 10 years. Okay. Um, yeah. So I grew up in Iraq. I was born in Iraq. I grew up in Libya. That was my, that's where I spent my whole life. And I've been here for almost 10 years. I do want to venture out and explore the other part of the world. One of them is a Europe. Um, I haven't been there before. So I'm
you and your brother I see that you guys are just very very strong team you have anybody else that I don't want to say you consider as your brother but someone else that is
as... compatible, I'll say, as your brother? I have a few people who I'm very, very close with, but obviously my brother's my brother, but I have a few people who I'm certainly very close with. I'm with my cousin who lives with us as well.
And I have some extremely important people, very valuable people who I hang around with.
It's interesting what you said about your brother. I don't know the ins and outs of, I mean, obviously, Iraq is a very difficult country to move from, to move around to. And I understand you're saying you want to come to Europe, et cetera. But.
This is why it goes to talking about how money can fix problems. I don't know if you ever looked into buying a citizenship or buying a passport. You ever looked into that? I haven't. I mean, we're always after the American dream. But like you can keep your American green card or whatever you have, and you can also look online.
There's a lot of countries in the Caribbean and in the South Pacific Islands
Where if you're earning good money and you invest in their country, you buy an apartment or something, you get a second passport. And that will allow you to come to Europe on this passport. It's just something for you to think about. That's something for him. I am an American citizen now. So that's something for him. Yes. Which you are multi, you know, you have multiple. Yeah, I'm multi. So I believe in having as many passports as possible. Yeah. So I think it's a good thing. I see you're a huge car guy.
Okay, I'm a car guy myself, okay? Spent a lot of times on the racetrack, do a lot of spirited drives, and just enjoy cars overall.
What was your first car?
Good question, bro. My first car was a Volkswagen Golf.
So nothing that interesting. I can't remember what year it was. It was an old backslidden golf. And then I had a Mazda RX-8.
let me know what that is that's a rotary engine that thing shows flames i know that's right that's
And then I had a Porsche Boxster. Beautiful.
Yeah, like a little bit of a girl's car, but it's the only Porsche I can afford. No, I know.
From there,
That's when I got my first Aston Martin Vantage. Okay. And then there was a little bit of a gap from cars because I moved country and that kind of thing. And now I have every car you can name. I have 29 cars or something. I have a whole bunch of them. I heard about the list of cars that you're getting and it's freaking insane.
Yeah, I have a pretty good collection. We're doing okay. We're doing okay. That's awesome. I'm a big Porsche guy myself. Amazing. Yeah, I love Porsche. So if you would have to pick a car, okay, what would it be? A car for one year. You'll just drive. That's the only thing you will have.
then I think it would probably have to be a Porsche because the Porsche will always work, right?
I love McLaren, but it's always breaking. Same with Ferrari.
Lamborghini is very impractical, but if I could only have one car, if you get a good Porsche, it could do everything. It's fast.
It's going to start all the time in the cold, in the rain. It's always going to work. It's always going to be there for you. So Porsche, for many reasons, is the best. But do you have one now or are you aiming to get one? I do. I do have the new GT3. That's what I have.
And I'm getting the GT3 RS, which you're getting that one as well.
Yeah, RS, I've got one ordered as well, the GT3 RS. You're gonna get it before me. That's what sucks because in Europe,
We're in America, we get a like behind.
It's true, it's true. But sometimes it's the other way around, so it depends on which brand. That's right, that's right. If there is one materialistic thing that you want to have or keep in the next year, not including your house, what would it be?
Really good question. I'm not entirely sure. Materialistic things, the only things that truly make me happy is driving. I love to drive. Europe is the best continent in the world to drive. It's not like America. You have beautiful mountain roads. Crazy. Yeah, you can have some crazy fun over here. So I love to drive.
However, it's hard for me to say. I think that having a really nice wardrobe, nice clothes is important for business.
Um...
But besides nice clothes, nice cars, and...
Nice watches, I don't really care about any materialistic things. Those are the only things I care about. I don't really care about anything else. I just like watches, nice suit, a nice watch and a nice car and I'm happy. I don't give a shit about much else to be honest. You're a simple man.
- A pretty simple man. - People don't fuel like this.
Of course, because they view me as ultra materialistic, but for me,
Although I do have a lot of money, I do have a lot of things.
It's just a matter of,
when you get to a certain point of money,
The whole world is free.
This is how I try to explain it. So if I look at something and I want it,
even if I only want it a little bit, even if I know I'm never going to use it, even if I know I'm only going to use it for a day, I may as well buy it because I don't need the money.
Does that make sense? So things feel free. So you end up acquiring a bunch of stuff.
But truthfully,
I don't use anything besides a couple nice clothes, a nice sports car, a nice watch. And then it's all about the people you know, having your good friends around you, a beautiful woman.
go to a nice hotel and
live a nice life. That's all it is. That's awesome. Yeah. I made a post yesterday. I am
importing a land cruiser pickup truck it's a 1990s like 97 that's proper that's proper iraqi style
Bulletproof motion! That's right, I'm bringing it from Saudi Arabia. I might have a trip actually to Saudi Arabia next month just to visit. But the vehicle will be on the way here. And I made a post about it because it resonates so much of what I had in the past because I grew up in Libya. That's a vehicle that we used to use. And it's very simple. Manual transmission. It probably doesn't even have like a radio.
but it's just so simple i might have more joy driving that one yeah than a supercar
Have you been to Dubai lately? It's one trip that I'm going to make. I'm going to make a trip and talk to people that I haven't really been...
out there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm visiting a few places in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and it's going to be the UAE. Hopefully where you are,
I'll bring my co-host
Hopefully we can make that happen. For sure, man. Let me know when the whole channel and everything's up and my team will review it and if everything's going well, for sure. I would love to do that. I would love to do that because, again, we resonate. You remind me, again, you're a brother of a lot of people, okay, that don't have access to you. And you're spreading a very, very positive message to a lot of people.
you're opening
a lot of
a lot of people's minds. Yeah, and that's why the system dislikes me, but the people do like me. And I just hope I have to walk the line.
make sure I don't end up
disappearing or anything too crazy, but I'm doing my best.
But thank you, man. It's really, really nice to hear that.
It's good to know I have such influence all around the world, like even in
from everywhere from Thailand to Detroit. It's really good to know that. That's amazing. Which again, back to what you were saying is,
is hustles in university and that's where you have most of your
a loyal...
fans, correct? Yeah.
Where do you see that one gonna be in the next five years, ten years?
Austin University is going to be absolutely huge. So we're rebuilding everything.
So we're going off of discord, we're rebuilding everything with our own app, our own, it's gonna have the website and the intro is like I think we have our own app.
our own way of communicating, all our own tech. And once that's done, we're not beholden to anyone. Because right now with Discord, we have certain limits of what we can do and what we can teach.
that's all going to change in the next two weeks maybe this is all going to be happening very very soon
So with all the new tech, plus the fact that I'm now in Rumble and they can't ban me,
and I can talk about it completely honestly and openly on YouTube, we're going to get huge. And what we need to do is we need to revamp the hierarchy system. I know we had the pawns, the knights, the rooks, the bishops, etc.
We're going to revamp that. So I think across the next five years, we're going to grow up to half a million, maybe even a million students. That's amazing. That's amazing. Because, again, you're leveraging that. And that's your power now because you're building an army. And it's growing. Especially if you host it. If it's your own IP or host, if you're hosting it, then you're in control of it at that time. Yeah, that's the exact goal.
cut you at any
You're the only person that we can ask you that question because... I know, man. It's crazy. It's actually very, very difficult to live life thinking, "You know what? I want to avoid all third-party apps." You realize how hard that is to do. And when they come for you, you realize how many of them you need. But I'm lucky. I have a very good team. I have the War Room.
Some amazing people in there, we're going to build all ourselves, we're going to create a complete alternative to these platforms.
I think that my banning is the beginning of a large shift away from mainstream media platforms. So I think that it's overall a good thing.
and I'm really glad to have obviously the support of people like you it means a lot to me it's really I really appreciate it. Thank you. So you have the War Room and you have Hustles University and each one operates at a certain level the War Room is the
Thank you.
high accountability, but people that want to be in the battlefield. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. The war room is more about the mentality. The war room is exactly what you were saying earlier about brothers.
finding your brother's.
The War Room allows you to have 2,300 brothers who are extremely accountable all around the world, who believe in the same things, who stick to the same rules of life.
where you can trust completely and utterly. Paiq will teach you how to make money.
The war room will allow you to make a new level of money. Of course, there's definitely money involved because we're operating at a higher level, but a lot of it's just about the accountability.
It's about the networking. It's about the feeling of brotherhood. And we also have events all around the world as well. We have an event at least two or three a month
I think I put one event on my Rumble channel now, The Test.
See that? Yep.
Yeah, so I had an event. So everyone thought they were flying in for a business conference and ended up having a cage fight.
So that was good to mix people up a little bit. That's amazing. That's amazing. We do some pretty crazy things, but that's what life's about. Your life's about testing yourself and challenging yourself as a man.
pushing yourself.
And that's what the war room's for, because I think the world's missing that in lots of ways. Men used to go to war and come back a hero, and now it's kind of hard to feel like a hero in the modern world.
But inside the war room, we allow people to go through things and come away with a tale of victory.
That's amazing. Question for you. How did you conquer the internet?
Good question. So what I did was, the first thing is that I'm very engaging when I talk.
Even even though a lot of people would try and do what I do, they can't do it exactly because they need to first become a master orator. So
I'm very engaging when I speak.
I make sure I don't say "um" or "ah". I use good body language. I'm an entertainer.
as well as an educator. That's the first thing I do. The second thing is I understand that the way the internet works has changed.
It's all short content, short format now.
doing long format podcast is much harder to get any kind of traction in short format. It's all about TikTok, Instagram stories,
Instagram reels
YouTube shorts
It's got to be short, snappy, hard-hitting content.
And then you have to push people to something you control, like an email list, or a channel like Rumble or something not on YouTube, they can delete you anytime. And from there, you just have to build credibility with your audience. Like my email list, I send an email every day, I don't even sell on there, I just give away free value. And I build affinity to the brand.
And I get people to trust me once people understand I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Then I put together a quality product. I don't lie. I don't scan.
It takes a little bit of time to do, but I put together a quality product.
And I deliver that quality product.
extremely compendiously and comprehensively.
And that's basically the secret to conquering the internet. There's a lot of people on the internet who are trying to just entertain.
But I'm trying to entertain and educate. And I think that's the key.
But if you want to educate people, you have to have a story that make them trust you. You got to have it like so for you, for example, right? I talk about coming from Iraq, talk about how hard it was there, how life was different in America, how easy it can be. If you understand how difficult life is in other places, you got to tell a story.
where people go, okay, he's been through something hard, I can trust this man.
Because if you've just had it easy or people think you've had it easy,
then they don't want to, why should they listen to you, right? So you got established credibility,
get attention.
and from there it's pretty easy. That's something I'm missing. I have like you know over like 1.5 million on TikTok and that's something I'm missing that I'm not sharing my story even though people are
asking me. Which, I need to do that. Because I have...
just as many stories as you have, okay? You just have a much better way of narrating the stories. That's how you make your story very engaging. You're just extremely,
very well-spoken person and I pay attention to the things that you say because
I learned from them. Okay. That's something I need to do is also I need to start telling my story just because I've been through all of it. I mean, I grew up in Libya. I've been through war. I mean, wars, all the crazy stuff. So I've seen it all. I've seen it all. So I need to start telling my story just to, like you said, educate and hopefully influence other people to do the same thing.
yeah it allows you to establish credibility if you tell your story you establish credibility and that's really really important you have to make people understand that it's good to listen to you because you've been through something that
they don't want to go through.
So it's like, I went through it for you.
and you can teach them all the lessons from there. And yeah, podcast is a great idea. But you need to be very clear your your personal story, find other immigrants in a similar scenario. That's it. And I'm finding people who've been through similar things, etc. And people like that kind of affinity between them. So yeah, it's great idea.
I'd put on Rumble and YouTube, put on Rumble too, because YouTube is going to get very hard with censorship soon.
and just make and then even when it's done, find a way to cut it up.
get the best clips out there in the world as you can.
and put on Tik Tok. I mean, you already have a huge Tik Tok channel. So being big on Tik Tok is a life hack, bro. You've already got the most
It's the most powerful social media in the world today, TikTok.
Awesome.
What's next for Andrew Tate?
It's a good question. I am going to be on rumble, become exceptionally large. And I think that they're going to regret banning me because I am here for a long time. I'm not going anywhere.
And I'm going to be working hard to show that
even without a mainstream media presence, it's very, very easy to if you're
comprehensive enough and you're hard working enough, you can still say stay moderate, you can still say relevant,
in the modern world and that's the key so thank you very much bro let's stay in touch we'll stay in touch thank you
