Guys, in this podcast, it needs no introduction.
We're just gonna get right into it. If this is your first time watching this channel, I urge you to do press that subscribe button.
So we can keep on bringing extremely popular guests like Andrew Tate and keep making these videos. I think I'd like to say like by now, this podcast is like the number one podcast in Dubai. And like, especially after this video, I'd say the number one podcast in the Middle East. So let's just get straight into it. I'm just going to summarize your story real quick. Andrew Tate, all of you have seen him recently. Google's most searched man, the man that broke the internet, the most famous person on social media that isn't on social media. Thank you so much for coming on here. Really, I appreciate it.
this podcast has a lot more to benefit from you being here than you do.
So I really appreciate your time.
We're going to talk about everything and this is going to be a good one. So usually we start by going through people's journeys. I'll just summarize it real quick and then we can get into the details.
From what I understand, your story, and you can correct me if I'm wrong,
But basically, you were born in Washington, you were raised in Luton, your dad's an African-American chess grandmaster, your mom was a catering assistant,
You learn to play chess at five years old.
And as a kid, you were already playing adults tournaments. You then started kickboxing and you became four times world champion in two different weight divisions. Then you started appearing in a reality TV show called Big Brother. You were removed after one week. Then you started your webcam business.
And after the webcam business, you simultaneously started the Hustlers University, which was like a course or like a university. And then you started your casino business after that. I get everything right. Yeah, it's a very sparse.
Ah.
Explanation of my life, of course, there's a lot of detail missing and I kind of feel like I've lived many different lives I feel like I've been alive many different times people ask my life story and it's hard for me to surmise in one way
compendious series of events because
I
I've lived this entire existence as a professional fighter. This entire existence as a webcam owner, this entire existence broke this entire existence. Rich, I feel like I've been alive many times, if that makes sense. So it's even difficult for me to surmise my life. It's been so varied.
But yeah, that's pretty accurate. That's pretty accurate. But now you're in Dubai.
Yeah, you've been here for like a week or so. Yeah. How do you feel about being in Dubai? The best city on earth. It is. It's the city of the future. Yeah. It is. I have nothing but good things to say about Dubai, and it goes all the way from down to the very base level, all the way up to the top, but...
The fact you can just walk around safely, that removes 80% of the world cities nowadays. - Yeah. And if you can have everything in another country, you're rich, you have everything, but you can't even use your... What's the point of being rich there? - Completely. And if you don't even have your safety, what do you have, right? So there's only a few cities left on earth. You can even... Like this is just a Sharon watch. I only wear this in Dubai. I wear it in Bucharest, but that's because I have Bucharest locked down head to toe. Most people don't. - It's your place. - It's my place. Yeah. Tokyo.
Mmm.
maybe some cities in Australia, which were kind of okay, but they're getting a bit worse. - Yeah. - That's it. Like that's it. You can't wear it in Western Europe. You can't wear it in America. You can't wear it in South America. You can't wear in Africa. You can't wear a nice watch that you've earned. It's absolutely not really incredible. - And you know, they say like, it's because Dubai has, or like UAE has all these resources.
But every country has resources. But the problem is too much corruption there for the rulers maybe don't invest what they have in the country, you know, in the infrastructure and stuff. Yeah. The people will always make excuses. But you're completely right. There's a whole bunch of African nations with mass resources. More, maybe. Yeah. And there's a whole bunch of Western nations with a bunch of resource. But, yeah, I think it comes down to the leadership and the vision of leadership and the fact they truly care. Exactly. And that's different.
about the differences between a democracy
and perhaps the ruling system here. You know, because the democracy, a lot of people get in, they have three, four years in power. There's a huge bunch of bureaucracy. They just want to extract as much money as they can before they go. And then bounce, right? The changes they make now, they'll see themselves in 10 years when they'll be gone. They'll be gone, so they don't care. They don't care. And also there's a whole bunch of bureaucracy behind them, which makes it very slow to change. It's very hard. Like, I don't understand completely how UAE is run, but I'd like to think that if the Sheikh were to walk down the road and say, change this, it would be changed the same day. Yeah. Whereas in England or America, change this.
decides to change the law goes to Congress, then, you know, it costs 4 billion. And then next year, maybe some guy will start to come.
It's just slow and-- - The construction company will keep three billion, they'll use one billion. - And it's very slow, and what did we say earlier about
Speed. We said speed. We said that it's the fastest people who adopt the quickest change we're going to survive. And if that's going to be true, then I guess you can extrapolate it out and also apply it to a city or a country or a civilization. And the fact that Dubai is so adaptable and can adapt in real time means that it's basically the only city on the planet.
Where no matter what happens on what happens in the world. They're always gonna be the best possible position I don't think that Dubai has any competition. I don't think it's seriously genuinely the best city on earth. I think it's number one. Nice so you talk a lot about purpose and What is your thoughts as to do you have like a an exact answer as to why we are created as humans and why we are here? What is the purpose of life? Why have we been given life? I think we're here to struggle and to learn and
I don't think we're here to be happy. That's why when we keep going back to the happy argument, I've always found that kind of frustrating and annoying. And someone goes, oh, but I want to be happy. Why?
Why? Why do you want to sit there and laugh? You were happy your entire childhood. That's your happy days. You're allowed to be happy as a kid. It's all over now, right? You're a man. You have responsibilities. I think we're here to do important. Provide, protect. Yeah, provide, protect. And we're also here to do important things. And important things are going to be difficult. And they're going to be hard. And you're going to get frustrated. But that's what gives you purpose. I don't see anyone who's chasing happiness. I think that's a very feminine frame. I understand why some women just want to be happy.
But in my experience, I know women who just want to be happy. Girls just want to have fun. Fine. But you're a man, right? And if you're a man, then it's absolutely an utterly different experience of life. I think we're here to struggle. I think we're here to endure pain. I think we're here to just see how hard we are to kill. I think that...
going through terrible things and living through them and coming out the other side is one of the most fantastic things about being human.
I think that
It's almost like once you understand what life is really about, there's no emotion which isn't enjoyable. The only emotion that, the only emotional state which can be seen as detrimental is feeling nothing at all. But if you're sitting at home and you're feeling truly heartbroken, at least you're feeling something, right? At least, yeah. And I think that's the whole part of being human. I think we're here to struggle. I think we're here to go through pain. I wake up each day and go, what can I attack? What problem can I solve? And look at history. Why did Genghis Khan wake up and want to conquer the whole world?
conquer the world why did alexander the great conquer the world just you just wake up and just say give me this give me that i want all of it i need to there's an army there they're really big we're better it's intrinsic yeah you need to go and conquer that's that's the purpose of life yeah but what like why do you think that we were created here to like what like do you believe that god created us so why did god create us to struggle like what is it what is it because if you don't struggle you don't learn yeah god created us to learn and understand ourselves and understand other people and understand the world and what did i say earlier i said that you don't learn a lesson
pain so you have to struggle to learn anything there's only two ways to learn things the hard way or the harder way if you're smart you can learn the hard way
But in my experience, 99% of the planet only learn the hardest possible way. If the lesson's even 85% effective, they'll make the same mistake. It's only when they completely decimate and destroy an element of their life do they sit there and go, oh, oops, now I get it. That's how it goes. So let's talk about where you are, Andrew, right now in this moment. What is going through your head right now? You've been banned off many social medias. You haven't done a podcast in a while.
now or like what do you feel about what's happened to you and what's your what's your moves or i mean i don't expect you to reveal them but what's your plans yeah so the matrix attacked me yeah they tried to remove me from social media bullets they used their bullets i'm still all over social media so they failed they failed what's scary about it
The only thing I will say I don't like about being banned is that you get three lives when you attack powerful people. They first ban you and try and shut you up. Secondly, they'll put you in jail for something you didn't do. And thirdly, they'll kill you. So I've used my first life, which is kind of upsetting.
when you know that next is going to be some false charges. The two worst ones. Yeah. And if you survive the false charges, you just die. Jesus. So that's kind of upsetting. That's kind of upsetting. It is. It is. It's kind of upsetting. I like to think the people at home know if I ever ended up in a jail cell and the media started printing why, that they'd know it's a pure lie and they made it up. But that's kind of scary.
Outside of that, the ban in and of itself has not...
I don't care, bro. It's made no difference to my life.
I
The only thing Instagram was good for was a bunch of chicks. And, you know, that's the only thing I used it for. You have them, man. I do, okay. You know, I don't need it. So I don't care about any of that stuff. I do think the social media companies have made a mistake.
I think they're now realizing they've made a mistake. Are they contacting you?
I can't say what's happening, but I do believe I will be reinstated. However, it's truly not that important at this time. If I had to martyr my social media accounts to show the world that...
everything I was saying was true, about the matrix, then it was worth it, right? All they did was prove me completely and utterly right. - Yeah, you said it a hundred times on different episodes. I am gonna be deleted, they're gonna try to silence me. I wish someone would make a compilation of all these clips
Because you said it like a hundred times. I said it over and over again. They're going to remove me. They're going to ban me. They're going to...
I knew exactly what was going to happen, and they proved me completely and utterly right, and it backfired. They tried to put a media spin on the event and convince the world that I'm a bad person, and that has failed. Nobody believes I'm a bad person. 99% of the comments on any of my videos are positive. I'm speaking to people who are now waking up and understanding that the media machine lies. And the only people who truly dislike me are the slave minds. If I ever hear about somebody disliking me,
When you ask them why, they don't know. They don't know. Yeah. And that's what's scary. What's scary to me is that there's people out there that have a strong emotional reaction to
to scenarios people or events and they don't even know why they just read a headline but that's that's the true slave mind when someone can say a name to you and you're furious and you go why are you angry i don't know like that shows how programmed you are they can control his emotions they can control you yeah so anybody who's critically thinking anybody with a brain it's a problem yeah yeah so anybody with a brain who could think for themselves likes me and anybody who hates me
is barely sentient.
So it's kind of good where now I have a very strong filter like, I don't like you. I know you're an idiot.
That's fine. Instantly, instantly. I know you're an idiot. Oh, bro. I love your work. Ah, a person who thinks so. It's kind of it's kind of convenient. It's kind of convenient to instantly filter, you know, my my life. But.
I must have been approached by 100,000 people as I walked the street, and I've never had anybody say anything negative to me on the street, ever. Male, female, old, young, never. Everybody, including women, love me. They all say you're saying the truth. You're doing such important work. I've never had anything. I've seen a video, yeah. A video came out with this woman. She was like, okay, whatever you want to say about Andrew, you can say it.
But who are the mentors that the youth have today? Is it the rappers that are all on drugs and all overdosing, which is very tragic. But which mentors do the youth have today that they can look forward to that says, you know what? It's not cool to do drugs. It's not cool to just party. It's cool to work and to sacrifice and to put your goals as number one. And actually, you know what I mean? Grind towards something. Have goals and chase them. But that's done on purpose.
are degenerate.
because they want a degenerate class of semi-miserable, sad people. You're never going to be truly happy in your mind if you go against the teachings of God. I don't care how much money you make. If you're a bad person, you're not going to feel happy. I don't care how much money you make. If you snake people or lie to people or do bad to people, you're never going to feel happy true deep in your heart. True in your heart, we're intrinsically designed to do right and do good. And that's something that God gave us. And when you have that, you understand that,
that's more important than anything else. So these people who are a
up here promoting degeneracy saying, you know, take Percocets and fangirls and drink vodka and you're going to be, you know, going to be great. I drink, I'm not saying I don't drink, but that's not my message. Right. And.
Those people are never truly happy and they're trying to purport that and convince people to do the same so that the whole populace is never truly happy. And like I said, now we go in circles. We've already discussed why they don't want us to be happy. So that's why. Do you think the drinking is like an escape of sorts? I love alcohol, right? I drink, right? So I'm a drinker.
but it's not my message. I don't sit here on a podcast and say, "Everyone drink, drink, drink." But rappers message is degeneracy. - Drink, crime, scrub this guy. - Completely. - Kill that guy. - Completely. And I'm saying that if you live that way, you're never gonna be truly happy in your heart. If you want to feel happy inside of yourself,
and you want to feel content, and you want to feel stable inside of yourself, you need to live true to God. And I'm not saying you can't drink a little bit of alcohol or not party or not have a little bit of fun, but you have to be a good person. You have to balance life. You have to balance life. You have to be a good person overall. I know I'm a good person. And when the Matrix is trying to convince the world that I'm not, that just proves even further that I'm a good person. The world we now live in today, when the mass media machine is trying to tell you somebody is evil, you can know pretty well that that person is probably good, and vice versa.
to convince people to ignore their own ears. People listen to my message and go, that's a positive message. And the media of the shame is going, no, it's not positive. He's bad. They're trying to brainwash you.
No, honestly, you're right. I'd like to ask you like right now in this moment.
Are you happy? Is this like the happiest moment you've been in your life? Or can you think back to a time where you were like, this is the happiest moment of my life? I don't believe in the societal...
Thank you.
paradigms
in which they have tried to construct this idea of happiness i don't believe or subscribe to the way that happy and sad is currently understood by the masses of the population i think if you are anything less than absolutely distraught you are happy you're a version of happy it's like saying gray is a version of black right no matter how light the gray is you can still call it a version of black and unless you've gone through an event which hopefully doesn't happen too often
member or something that's truly destructive and detrimental to your mindset. Besides these events, which hopefully only happen a few times in your life, you should be happy if you're not crying or paralyzed in silence.
Due to the...
absolute magnitude of a detrimental circumstance or the absolute magnitude of a negative event, then you are a version of happy. So I am always happy is the short answer. I don't believe in not being happy. I don't believe in not saying to myself, I'm happy. I'm always a version of happy. And this chasing, this idea of chasing happiness and always being concerned and preoccupied with how happy you are is actually the biggest mistake that a lot of people make. I think in the world today, especially men who wake up and go, Oh, I don't really feel happy. So I need to get happier.
end up.
down a hedonistic path of drugs or alcohol or gambling, chasing pleasure. I don't care how I feel.
I don't care if I feel happy or sad. It doesn't really affect what I do each day. I do the exact same things. I act the exact same way. I don't care. I don't put weight to the significance of the emotion. So I always consider myself a happy person. But if I woke up and I was slightly less happy one day than another, it wouldn't affect anything I do and I wouldn't put any relevance to it. I'm human and that's life. And so, yeah, am I any happier now that I am happy?
that I have hundreds of millions of dollars than before I was broke. Yeah.
Not really, but I was never unhappy. I'm the same state.
That I was then, that I am now, I have work to do and I will do it. It's as simple as that.
Yeah, very well put. Yeah. No, but you're right. Definitely. I've heard like the chase for happiness. And the more you try to seek happiness, the more you enforce in yourself that you're not happy. Well, also, there's no light without dark and there's no joy without pain.
You can't have a rainbow without a little rain. And no matter how hard you chase pleasure and happiness, there's going to be dips and troughs in between. There's going to be comedowns and downtrends. And you're going to have the juxtaposition between that time you were laughing your head off and acting Giddish like a child and the time that you feel depressed as such. And I think it's much better to just adopt a very disciplined,
Stoic mindset
I'm always the same base level of happy regardless. If I lost all of my money today, I would be the same happy. If my net worth quadrupled, I'd be the same happiness. As long as I'm alive, which is a struggle, unfortunately, in the current climate. But as long as I'm alive and the people I care about and love are alive, and as long as God gives me the honor of doing my duties and providing for the people I care about,
as long as I get to wake up and know that there's a whole bunch of people in the world who need me and I get to work hard to please them and do good for society and good for the world, then I'm a vessel of God and I'm happy enough to survive. That's all I look at it as. I don't ever consider how do I feel. That doesn't cross my mind. I have things to do. I have things to do. You're too busy to think about that. I'm too busy. I have things to do. Every single day I have very important things to do, and how I feel really is not going to affect how I complete those tasks. Right.
happier. I think that's absolutely the wrong frame of life. You're a man, you have duty, you have honor, you have things you should be doing regardless of how you feel. And the people who are perma obsessed with
Happiness or sadness. I just think it's the wrong paradigm to view the lens of life. I think you should get up and do it needs to be done Yeah, man
- You're a positive influence, man. I don't know what's all the stuff, man. You're just reinforcing positivity in people. - I'm absolutely a positive influence. And that's the problem. The key word there is influence. The reason the matrix has attacked me is because of that. It's because I am an influence. - They don't like influence. - They don't like influence because
"I've not sold my soul, they don't control me." And normally when you become massively influential, they control you. You either sign a contract or your sponsor or your manager. - Yeah, a record label. - Yeah, whatever. They have some kind of leverage over you to make sure you only say what you are supposed to say.
I'm an individual which they do not control. I have mass influence over the population of earth. And when you have somebody like me who is principled, who has morals, who believes in God, who will not sell their soul, will not promote degeneracy, who also has mass influence, they see me as a threat because they say there are certain agendas which he will not promote because of his morality. And we need immoral people who have sold their souls absolutely and completely so they'll
they'll enforce the slave programming amongst the population. So they see me as a threat because of my mass influence. And me being positive in and of itself is also a threat to the establishment because they don't want people to be happy. They want you to be semi-depressed and sad and miserable because when you're sad, you're self-obsessed. And you're distracted. You're distracted and you're self-obsessed. When you're sad, you're sitting at home, me, me, me, me. It makes you very selfish. You don't care about your community when you're sad. You don't care about your country when you're sad. You don't care about the injustices of the world when you're sad.
You don't care about trying to actually go and make the world a better place because you're busy thinking about yourself. So they want you miserable, semi-depressed, sad, unhappy, so that you can sit at home and accept them doing whatever they want to the planet and other people without ever talking or standing up or doing the right thing. If you're happy and motivated, you're going to be far more likely to fight against injustices. So the fact that I have mass influence and I can just make people feel better,
is a threat to them. They don't want me to make people feel better. They talk about men's mental health and pretend to care, but when I come along and genuinely help and stop people from committing suicide, they delete me. They don't want that. They want everybody semi-depressed,
They want you miserable. They want you distracted so that you're too busy crying your eyes out in a room somewhere or sitting in deep thought worrying about this girl who left you so they can just continue to run the world. Yeah, because if you're thinking about yourself, you're not thinking about the new rules that are going out or the new...
stuff that's going on. You're not thinking about the work of the devil, which is what's happening right now. We're currently in a fight of good versus evil. It's genuinely that serious. Whether it's the Bible or the Quran or any superhero movie, this is the battle of good versus evil. And anybody who's sitting who doesn't see that, who doesn't see that every armed conflict on the planet, the conflict for our minds, the way the Matrix is attempting to control us, this is genuinely a battle of God versus Satan. And if you think that you can just sit idly by while these two titans go to war...
and you're not going to end up caught up in the crossfire, then you're absolutely and utterly ignorant at best.
a coward at worst, and I think it's most likely cowardice. We're in the middle of the greatest battle that humankind has ever faced, and unless people stand up and actually try and fight hard for good and for God, then we're going to end up in absolute tyrannical slavery.
Yeah. You know, while you're talking right now, it's just making me think the way you talk, it's like really articulate. It's like really intriguing and you're well informed on many different topics. So were you always like this? And like, how did you how did you build this? Like, did you read books or, you know, I mean, how did you become so well informed on everything? How did you talk so articulately? Good question.
I don't read books. I'm actually famous for saying I've never, I've read one book in my life. In my adult life, I've read one book and I was in a jail cell. So I had nothing else to do. So I don't read books. Which book was it? It was an awful book. I think it was called, I can't remember the name of it. I've told this story before and someone found it in the comments, but it was a terrible story about a UN negotiator, a woman who was in New York and she had been fired from the UN because she made this big mistake. And then the UN needed her back because she was the best negotiator.
her back and they kept talking about i wish i didn't make the big mistake and for two -thirds of the book it's like she's so she's so good at her job but what was this big mistake and it turns out she was negotiating between two african warlord tribes and she ended up sleeping with one of the warlords and now and when you get this big revelation you're like oh so you're just
the warlord in the middle of a negotiation like how did that even happen how what you were so
The whole book, it upset me. So, no, I don't read books 'cause books are slow. And I think the world we now live in today,
is about speed speed is absolutely and utterly important everything must be like this absolutely and everything must be done as quickly as possible and darwin said it even though i'm not a proponent of evolution he said it's the most adaptable member of the species that survives i will change it and say nowadays the most the quickest member of the species survived it's not about being the biggest the strongest about being the quickest uh the most adaptable to change and to read a book is just too many human hours for the amount of information and knowledge you get so i don't read
masturbation for people to sit there and say, I want to get smarter. So I read books. And I talk to these people. They're not even smart. I know everything about everything because of my life. It's been varied and it's been very difficult and I'm perspicacious and I pay attention and I learn my lessons. And that's how I know everything about everything. I don't need to read books. There's not a subject you can name right now where I don't know something about it. Yeah. That's what I noticed. Yeah. You name it. Korean war, anything. You name it. I know something about something. That's just what happens when you get to a certain level of intelligence because you can apply scenarios.
THE FUTURE OF THE FUTURE OF THE
And it's all patterns. It's all patterns. Absolutely. And history may not repeat, but it certainly rhymes and humanity all acts in a pretty similar way across all cultures. And once you get an X amount of knowledge in one place, you can basically apply and extrapolate it out to anything. Anything. Yeah. No. And you're right about the reading books thing. A lot of people, there's like this new, like basically they become like self-help junkies.
where they're just trying to seek self-help books,
And they think to themselves, like, I'm doing something productive because I'm reading a book.
but actually you have so much work that you could actually do to actually implement what the book says, you know what I mean? Well, the thing is with reading a book is it's a reward.
without any risk. And this is why I think a lot of people are proponents of reading and they say, reading, reading, reading, because nothing can really go wrong besides wasting your time in life, of course, but they don't believe that. I am a much larger proponent of larger risks and larger rewards. If you want to learn about self-help, if you want to understand yourself and see what kind of man you really are and learn how to fight through adversity and learn how to get up when life's difficult and learn how to control your mind and learn how to struggle, then you can go to the boxing gym and you can get your ass kicked. You do not need to read any books.
there and say, I'm going to fight the best fighter here every single day and not quit until you can eventually beat him. But most people are not man enough for that. So instead they'll read a self health book.
And they'll sit there and try and talk to me about mindset. I learned my mindset in battle. My mindset is 87 professional fights. My mindset was learning the reality of the real world. I don't need to read a self-help book. I don't need to read about motivation or confidence. I've been in the cage smashing people's faces in. I don't need to learn any of that stuff.
So I learned in reality and reality is always going to be a better teacher than a book because you're not learning when you read books. You're you're regurgitating. You may be reading, but I don't believe you're truly learning. My coach used to say, if it doesn't hurt, you didn't learn.
And I think he's completely right. And it's the same with it's the same with entire life you see people make the same mistake over and over again until
until it eventually goes really wrong. And it's only then they'll change. - Then they change. - So, absolutely. So I learned how to
become self-disciplined and become self-motivated and work hard. And I learned how to face adversity and find strength within myself. I didn't know I had because people were trying to kill me inside of a cage and you cannot replicate that by reading pages of a book. So it's a waste of time. Yeah. You don't need to read about other people's experiences because you have enough of your own. Absolutely. And yeah, so I'll actually say here right now, I'm a massive fan.
Anti-reader. I think it's a mistake. I think as a young man, if you want to get your life better, the most important thing you have are your waking hours. You need to be out competing all the other people on the planet who are hyper competitive. And if you think you have eight hours to sit there and just read a book, you are wasting your time. You are too slow and you are going to lose against people like me because we're just too quick, too fast. Our networks are too various and large and we make decisions too quickly and we absorb information too quickly and you're just behind the time.
the moves have been made. - But it's over, yeah, the game's over. - Yeah, but I think one good thing about reading books, especially now, especially what you were saying,
is because like you said, attention spans are like this these days. When you read a book, you kind of learn to train yourself to like take information a bit slowly. It kind of helps your focus a bit more. That's true. And we certainly have an attention span problem. Even I have it myself to a degree. But...
I think that's just the way the world is moving. I think you need to get ADHD and you need to learn to control it within certain paradigms. You need to be able to sit and say, yes, yes.
I struggle to focus on this one particular video, for example, but as a whole, I can keep my focus within the parameters of work, whether I'm watching this video and talking on Telegram and replying to this email and reading this. Just do it all at once. I mean, that's what I do. I've had people come into my office and say, are you on a phone call and playing chess and reading a web page at the same time? I'm like, yes.
I'll be reading what I need to read and on the phone and at the same time playing chess. Otherwise my brain's not full enough. - You need to be stimulated.
Yeah. Can I focus on one thing? Not easily. But am I massively successful doing enormous amounts of work? Yes, every single day. Yeah, that's the most important thing. It's just staying within the parameters of constructive. If what you're doing with your energy is constructive and you're within those parameters, then you're going to be massively successful anyway. Yeah, that's basically true. And about your confidence, is that also from these experiences or how does one become this confident? And especially another thing is you seem like you really love yourself, which is a good thing.
loving themselves. I'm proud of myself.
And I deserve to be. Most people don't deserve to be proud of themselves. And that's the truth. A lot of people say, oh, you know, I have confidence issues. And I say, if I was you, I would have confidence issues. Of course. I completely understand why you have confidence issues. You're a dork.
But we have to be realistic here. We have to be absolutely not only realistic because...
the world is brutal and it's harsh. If you're not proud of yourself,
You probably don't deserve to be proud of yourself. So you're not going to feel happy. And you just talked about confidence. Confidence comes from competence. The reason I'm confident is because I'm good at everything. I'm good at everything I do. The things I'm not good at, I'm not confident in, of course. And I know what they are. I don't do them very often. I've now created my reality to the point where I don't do anything I'm not good at. You hire, you're just hire. You're hire, I just don't want to do it. Like I don't play darts. I'm not good at darts, right? I do what I'm good at. So yeah, I'm absolutely not really confident because I'm absolutely not really competent.
discipline and motivation and you need to fail a few times, you need to get up. And like I said earlier, when I learned my entire mindset and professional fighting and chess, the two combined, that's how it comes down to. And when people say, oh, you know, I have confidence issues, usually I can look them up and down and say, yeah, if I was you, I would completely and utterly struggle with confidence issues.
Because the world is competitive and there's men like me on the planet and friends like mine on the planet. And you're competing against us for money, for girls, for status, for resource. And you're going to be destroyed and decimated the entire time. So, of course, you have confidence issues when you can be annihilated in real time by the competitor. Why wouldn't you have confidence issues? You'd be psychopathic not to. Yeah, that makes sense. So maybe that confidence is a good motivation for them. Well, it's supposed to be. This is the thing that I don't truly understand.
If I'm unhappy with something and I'm uncomfortable with something,
I fix it. That's endless motivation, which I don't truly believe in as a concept, but that's endless fuel for the fire. If I was unhappy with something about myself,
regardless of what it was, I would be able to take all of that discomfort and turn it into endless energy to get the problem fixed. But these people seem to be unhappy. Yeah. Well, these people seem to sit and say, I'm really I'm really unhappy with X.
but then stay doing X. So I don't believe they're truly actually unhappy. What you'll notice if you live life long enough is that somebody will sit and say to you,
I'm unhappy being a loser. You say, why are you a loser? I just sit at home, play video games seven days a week. And you're like, okay. And maybe three days of the week, they're unhappy doing that. And that's the time they email you. And that's the time they want to make a change.
But four days of the week, it doesn't really bother them. It doesn't really bother them. Because if it bothered them seven days a week, guess what? - They would fix it. - Correct. - So I have very little sympathy for people. And that's not because I'm not a nice person, but it's because I've been so hard on myself and I've been through so many things.
that were difficult. And I've been through so much pain and trauma myself. Some of it self inflicted, some of it given to me by God to make me a better person. But I've been, I've been so difficult on myself. It's very hard for me to look at somebody who's refused to be difficult on themselves and see them as my equal or feel sympathy or pity for them. Why would I feel pity for somebody who took the easy route when I took the hardest possible route? I took the hardest possible way to be the man I am. And you were too big of a and now you want me to feel sorry for
as a man, you can be anything you decide you want to be. That's the beauty of being a male. You can build your character completely from the ground up, just like a video game. Every single thing about me that people respect, I built. I was not born a world champion kickboxer. I was not born this intelligent or intellectual. I was not born this rich. I was not born this strong. I was not born this confident. I was not born this interesting. I was not born this charismatic and humble and gorgeous and tall and strong and sexy. I was not born none of these things. I became these things
they don't want to work hard enough to become those things then they deserve to sit and accept their my inferior yeah that's that's their problem yeah basically that's their problem but have you have you struggled with any mental health issues yourself because you know one thing also i noticed about you from one one side when you talk you seem like very positive about life but i've seen clips of you where you where you say like do you say like sometimes i feel you say enjoy everything and you know always be happy but or like always be like positive but then in some points of you
rich yeah I needed to get rich I was furious I was I couldn't sleep when I was broke and this is what we're talking about the uncomfortable of being uncomfortable and how it can motivate you when I didn't have enough money to buy whatever I wanted I couldn't fall asleep at night
because I understood there are people out there that did, and I didn't see them as better than me. And I thought, why are these people who I don't see as my superior living an experience that I can't live? And it bothered me to the point where I could not sleep. So yeah, that was real. When you talk about suffering mentally, I don't really consider that suffering. I have had a very painful life,
I still think to a degree I do, but that's self-inflicted, but I can't imagine living in the other way. I can't imagine living in this idea, this utopian, ha ha ha, everyday, just, you know, girls drink, hedonism. I don't want that. Yeah, it's degenerate. I'm always, I think the only thing you can do that's not degenerate is usually be fighting a battle or solving a problem. Growth. Yeah, growth. Yeah. So you need to either fight a battle or solve a problem to avoid degeneracy, which means I'm constantly looking for them. I'm currently one
on the matrix, the most powerful people on the planet. So yeah, is my life difficult? Yeah.
Am I complaining about that? No. In fact, I'd hate it for it to be any other way.
Yeah, no, you're right. Honestly, you know, you talk about the Matrix a lot. Has the Matrix ever contacted you directly? Have you ever got any contact from them? Or you can't say? I've had a couple experiences which have certainly been strange. No way. Can you talk about it or you prefer not to? I've had some invites to some strange places with some strange people.
Um...
I've had some anonymous messages which I verified to be true.
which were
Scary, I guess you could say. I've definitely been contacted by the Matrix in and of itself. But initially when they speak to you, they try to...
make you change sides. - They try to switch you. - Well, they try and get a degree of leverage over you, or they try and bribe you, or they try and get you to sell your soul. - Yeah. - So they'll try and invite you to a party where you do some degeneracy and they get it on video, or they try and get,
a threat against you and try and blackmail you, or they try and offer you a whole ton of money for this contract, but you have to be careful what you say now. They try very hard initially to get you with the... Without violence. Yeah, without violence. They try with degeneracy. That's what they try. Destructions. Yeah, well, you know, most people's...
hearts and souls can be can be bought. So when they can print unlimited money, why would they go through a violence? They can just print unlimited money and give it to somebody and own them. Yeah. But when you're like me and you don't care about money and you and you also have morals as a person,
I am their threat. They can't buy me and they've tried and they can't convince me with a little bit.
Either or a lot.
They can't. I'd rather go without. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. So they can't. Yeah, I'm good. So and and that frustrates him because 99% of men in my position start chasing girls. Yeah, chasing money. Yeah. And then you end up controlled.
Yeah. But I think that like maybe a lot of that mindset that you have now is because you've already got the money. You've already got the money. But do you think that in the earlier stages when you were really trying to chase the money that this could have tempted you or, you know, they could have, they could have maybe helped. Yeah. I don't think I, yeah, I don't think I could have, I don't think I've ever would have sold my soul because I have a baseline morality. However, yeah, you're right. I do live in abundance. So it's easy for me to say no, but greed is real and humans are all naturally greedy.
dollars.
You're still going to sit and think, oh, that would be nice. In fact, the more you have, the more you want. But this is where we talk about morality, and we're talking about Dubai, and we're talking about religion. Let's even talk about Islam. That's the reason I have so much respect for Islam as a whole because they have a baseline morality. We're here in Dubai. You could walk outside and find a poor construction worker who just moved here who's earning, I don't know, no money, can barely afford to eat, and offer him a million dollars to denounce the prophet. He won't do it. No. He'll never do it.
He'll never do it. Whereas in the West, if you were to go and find a Christian. One dollar. Yeah. It doesn't mean anything, right? So it's that baseline morality that they can't corrupt that they're afraid of. It's why they're afraid of Islam. It's why they're afraid of me. It's why they're afraid of people who sit and say there is more to life and existence in this and the next than simply degeneracy or being bought and owned. And, you know, I feel like Islam, the way they talk about Islam, it's kind of like you see the patterns. Whenever there's something, a force that's trying to change people, they'll try to put labels on it.
Yep.
But they'll try to put these labels on it because they don't like Islam. Yeah, they don't like anything they can't completely or utterly control. Yeah, and Muslims are uncontrollable. Well, yeah, they have a higher purpose and a higher calling. I do think a lot of the world's problems, especially in the West, with the absolute degeneracy and the work of
What do you say? Shaitan? Shaitan, yeah. The work of shaitan? Shaitan. It could be fixed with Islam. I call for the Islamification of all Western countries because Christianity has absolutely not really failed. The idea of a religion is to preserve the morality and preserve the traditions of a country. If you have failed to do that, then you're no longer a religion. If you're going to sit there and inside of your own country, your prophets are mocked, all of your ideals are ignored. And it's okay. And it doesn't matter. Yeah. And society is degenerating in real time and your children are no longer safe from brainwashing
by the matrix, then your religion in and of itself as a concept has failed. Christianity has failed to preserve Christian values on any level in any country ever. So now that you know it's a failed religion, that only leaves one religion left in which you can install. Degeneracy will disappear. Crime will disappear. Men and women will stay families again. People will have children. All the world's problems will be fixed. They'll chase their goals. Absolutely. I call for the Islamification of the entire Western world because...
Otherwise, we have atheistic countries. And when you remove religion, now what do you have? People are now adhering to woke ideology and this new insane religion. Everybody has a religion. If you remove Christianity from the West, you don't have atheists. You now have these people adhering to this woke new world liberal psychopathy where people are doing absolutely insane and disgusting things to each other and children. And they're sitting there saying that's progressive somehow. And it's absolutely not really disgusting. So if we need a God to believe in to preserve morality and decency amongst humanity, then
have a God that people actually fear and respect. And that's why Islam is the only religion left on the planet. There's no other religion you can possibly name that even matters.
- Mm-hmm. - Now we have to make your name like, Ibrahim Tate or something. - Let's do it. - So have you actually like taken shahadah, become Muslim? - I'll shadow on la ilaha illallah. - You wanna do it on the podcast?
That's a, it's, it's an interesting conversation and, uh,
It's ongoing. Let's put it there. Yeah. No, it's a slow journey, you know? Yeah. Eventually. You're coming. Let's put it there. All right. Okay. Let's talk about money. One of my favorite subjects. Yeah. All right. You have a lot of sources of income.
Which source has made you the most money? - What's made me the most money is the war room.
The war room is a private member's
organization that I run. So when I first got-- This is interesting. When I got extremely wealthy,
I wanted to know where I kind of felt like I'd gone to outer space expecting to see aliens. And I got there and there were none. I was like, where is everybody? Okay, I'm rich. But I expected once I became rich to meet other men who were rich, focused, intelligent, had their dating lives in order, their physical health in order, their finances in order, their connections in order. And I got to the top of the mountain. I looked around and realized nobody had it. Like, yeah, this guy's rich, but he's cucked by his wife and he's fat.
rich but he's controlled by the matrix this guy's rich but he's dummy he just made a bunch of money making music rap he's an idiot this guy's rich like there was nobody who had it all yeah i was
predators. I wanted the Freemasons almost. I thought I didn't want to join their organizations. You wanted people like you. I wanted people like me. So I started an organization to find those men. Yeah.
So now we have...
3,000 members all around the world. A lot of them are very, very wealthy. A lot of them aren't. We have people who join who are 18-year-old brokies with nothing. That's fine. They spent all their money on joining. That's fine. Yeah. Because if you're prepared to listen and learn, then you're in the right place. If you spend all of your time sitting around people who talk about how to become powerful and influential and rich, guess what you're going to end up being? Powerful, influential, and rich. So now I have the greatest network on the face of the planet. And when I say it's maybe the most money, it's not because of the membership fee. The membership fee is very low. It's cheap.
Because of the opportunities and connections inside of the war room. And that's why I am ultra competitive. And that's why nobody will ever beat me. If you're an individual and you wake up and think, I want to make my life better. And you spend eight hours reading a book. That's fine. When I wake up, I wake up to maybe 25 messages from some of the most influential and rich people on the planet that you've never heard of telling me.
"Buy this now. "This is an opportunity to make money on the Russian ruble. "This is an opportunity to make money here. "This is an opportunity to make money on this land. "This is what's going down in Iraq. "Here we have an opportunity in Nairobi. "Here we have..." And I'm sitting there going, "Okay." And I have got all this curated information and genuine opportunities in real time presented to me. And within 15 minutes, I've made a $5 million investment. You're on page one. You're still reading your book. - The introduction. - You're still reading. - The first chapter. - Yeah, you're still reading the introduction.
And this is why against people like me and my network and the other people inside the war room, you will always lose. So the war room's maybe the most money, but not because of membership fees or anything like that, because of the genuine connections and opportunities inside of the war room. And we're just free minds. Anybody who listens to what I say and agrees with it and likes it should understand that you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. - Right, 100%. - And if you know that, then you need to make sure you're not spending time with anybody you don't want to be. So people who joined the war room, they join,
And they want to become professional. They want to become absolutely not really professional. And like I said, we have extremely...
seasoned and experienced and successful men. But we also have people joining saying with nothing, but they're humble enough to learn. I come here, I'm young, I don't have any money, or I'm old, I have a little bit of money, or whatever it is, but I am here to learn and absorb. - I wanna commit. - I wanna commit. And if you learn and absorb and you're in the right place, then you can do fantastically well. So the War Room, I mean with the War Room Network now,
I could never be broke ever again.
It's impossible for me to ever go poor. I have access to billions of dollars I could loan from these men, 'cause I know they could trust me if they wanted to. I have a place I can sleep in 3,000 different locations around the world in big mansions. If I need a Lambo, they'd send it to me. If I needed a visa for a country that you can't get a visa for, someone there will have a business to give me an LL, to give me a visa by their business. If I need a jet, it comes. If I need information on anything, if I need to do a money transfer to Afghanistan,
Which if anyone's tried, they know how difficult that is. I've got a guy who fixes that. It's all there. It's everything. So whenever I have any problem in my life, no matter what it is, I go to the war room. And in fact, I'll prove the power of the war room right now. I became the most Googled man on the planet. I hacked every single social media algorithm to a way which people are sitting there trying to work out how I did it. And they can't work out exactly how it's done. The war room did that.
I went to them and said, I've decided to go overt, as opposed to being underground, I wanna go overt and break mainstream. And four months later, I was the most Googled man on the planet. - The War Room did that. - Of course. There's not many organizations on the planet that can do something like that. So when you have something that powerful,
I created it because I wish it existed. That's what I was looking for when I got rich, and it didn't exist, so I created it myself. And it's also, and I'll say this now, for any young man or any man who's serious about his journey or serious about himself, it's the most important place you can be. You're gonna learn absolutely everything about the realities of Earth. Do not waste your time in some university. Do not waste your time reading books. Do not waste your time on YouTube watching some dork talk about Amazon FBA. Don't be an idiot.
Join the war room and you'll learn. And there's a spiritual journey involved as well. But every single person who joins the war room ends up being an absolute consummate professional. And that's the most profitable enterprise. How do you join? At CobraTape.com, there's details. It's on my website. You go to CobraTape.com and it will explain what the war room is, how we work. We have meetings all around the world. We have meetups. In fact, we just had a meetup.
three days ago, impromptu.
Usually they're planned in advance, but I had to talk to some guys and we sent a message 36 hours in advance.
And we all went, I had to talk to everybody, no phones. So there was no phones and we didn't want to be bugged. So we went out to the desert here in Dubai. And in 36 hours, I think we got 35 men from around the world landed. We went to the desert all with the black escalades. It's all filmed. I saw it. That was insane. I never saw that many black escalades. It's a powerful network. And we're absolutely not really extremely wealthy. We don't break any laws. So for the FBI, the NSA, whoever's listening, we don't break any laws. We're law-abiding people who are very perspicacious and pay a lot of attention.
and are very dedicated and we make sure that we look after ourselves and each other and our brotherhood and uh we're trying to create a better world for the people we care about and that's how we work all right so i feel like one of the ways that you became so popular was by people resharing your videos yeah and i think a lot of the i wouldn't say i'd say i'd say personally i'd say a lot of the reason why they would reshare those videos is because they wanted they wanted to make
- How does Hustlers University still exist? And 'cause I know you're banned on Stripe. Are you using another payment gateway now or like? - Yeah, so Hustlers University was attacked by the Matrix when they attacked me. - I heard Tristan said it's off now. - No, no, so I'll tell you the story. So Hustlers University, firstly, let me explain to the people at home, they don't know what it is. - Yeah. - I had a school which primarily taught people how to make money online. - Okay. - The reason I had that school was so that everybody could afford the war room.
So people would come to me and say, I want to be in the war room, but I can't afford it. So I say, okay, I'll teach you how to make the money to afford it. Nice and simple system. So that way I can save anybody. I can save anyone who's inside the matrix. I can free anybody's mind. You can come to me. Yes. Two steps. Right. So it was $50 a month, nice and cheap. And we taught modern wealth creation methods. We had some crypto, some stock. We had an affiliate program. We had 18 different ways to make money online and you had to have nothing to start with. If you had
We got up to 175,000 students. That's your largest amount you've made in one month. 175,000 students was the peak. We got to 175,000 students at $50 a month. So it was a fairly profitable enterprise. Yeah. I was like, what? I don't know, 11, 12 million a month or something.
Um,
But so we were doing well, but a lot of that money was obviously reinvested in the teaching, the professors, the school. Like we were building the largest online educational platform on the planet. What's interesting is
Anybody with a brain can sit here and understand that attracting 175,000 people to the school is easy.
What's hard is retaining. And the fact that I retained that many people means that there's 175,000 people in the world who are making more money each month than they invested. Even if they invested $50 and only made $300 or $400, they were still making more than they invested. The ROI is huge. No other university or school or educational platform is going to give you that ROI. That's a crazy percentage. Absolutely. So we were massively successful. When the Matrix attacked me and insulted my character, they decided to also attack Hoxster's University because they saw how successful it was. And a lot of the reviews made about it,
They never even joined.
They just go into a review and say how's the diversity is a scam because Andrew takes a bad guy. Yeah, and they never even joined right or they join and be inside for 10 to 15 minutes scroll around not go to any of the not speak to the professor not watching the long format videos not try any of the things we said and then say do a negative review because they wanted clicks and they understood the matrix was at the time the algorithm was favoring anyone who made a negative video about me.
You're right, our payment processing was removed and they also attacked the servers of HU because they were matrix owned organizations. But HU is not dead. We are still open. We're still thriving. We still have students inside. We have changed our payment gateway to one that I now fully own. So I bought my own payment gateway. I bought my own bank. I started my own. So now I completely and utterly own it. It can't be attacked by the matrix. And also we're rebranding soon. We're changing the name to the real world.
because it's helping people escape the matrix and the real world comes out very shortly. Uh, you can find out more at, uh,
Cobaltake.com on the website.
Everyone who's in Hester's university will automatically move over to the real world for free. And that any other people want to join the real world, the price is going to be going up slightly because now that we control all of our own infrastructure, we can teach things we couldn't teach before. Because we have all of our own infrastructure. So we're going to have the same 18 wealth creation methods from before plus new ones that we couldn't teach on matrix owned infrastructure. So they attacked it. They attempted to destroy it just like they attempted to destroy me and they have failed.
Are you going to quit because some idiot made a bad review?
No, no, of course you're not. So we're massively successful because we are competent and we're the, and we have zero competition in the world. We're the only school you can join. And the only goal is to make money. The primary goal is make money. We're not trying to make you sit there and do exams for qualification. No, yeah. Make money and you'll make more money than you spend. It's a very simple mathematical equation. So they attempted to destroy us and they failed at cobra take.com. You can join the real world and anybody who's serious about their education. I absolutely
they do that. And the life path, the trajectory we've put people on in life is beautiful. We've had people at 18, 19 join Hustlers University, six months later, have their war room subscription, join the war room two or three years later.
You know, they're at the meetups, they're here, and they're driving a Lambo. Yeah, it's truly beautiful. - Maybe not Bugatti, but. - It's truly beautiful. I'm the only one with a Bugatti so far. - They can't join. The Bugatti has to stay at their house. - There's people in the war room richer than me, but they're perhaps a little bit more subtle than I am. - They like to move under the radar. - Yeah, I'm kind of the opposite. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we were talking about people who got rich relatively quickly. A lot of those people are people who are into crypto.
Yep.
What do you think about cryptocurrency? Are you invested? Because, you know, a lot of people, they got rich of doing it. But I feel like to a certain extent, like, yeah, okay. They put in money, it got, like, whatever, like, times 100x. But still, you would think that, okay, if it's so easy, how come people today are still not investing in it? You know, if...
So like, I don't know, what do you think about cryptocurrency? Yeah, so I'm a proponent of crypto. I do use crypto, Bitcoin, ETH, the big ones. I think that chasing crypto pumps is now over. The bull runs over, the stupid money is gone. Most people don't understand about crypto that it's person versus person. I see they launch these coins and then they start a Telegram community. And then if you go in the community, if you get in the community, everyone's like, yeah, we're all in this together. No, you're not. You're not in this together. If you're buying...
or if you're selling, if you buy crypto at a dollar, and then you sell it at $10, someone bought it off you at $10. Probably in that same telegram. Probably in the same telegram group. So you're literally stealing money from the other people in your community. The other people who believe in the project, you're stealing money from them. It's player versus player. They start these stupid communities so all of you sit there and don't dump so that the developer can dump. You're all dummies. All of you guys. You're all dummies. It's player versus player. And a lot of the dumb money is now gone. People who are stupid, who believed in all this crap. They learned their lesson.
so now the only people left in crypto is to smart money and that's very very hard to steal right so i think that the idea of chasing a pump right now is very foolish i also think that one of the detrimental things about crypto is that it recently made people a bunch of money yeah sure in the last two to three years or two six months at nine months whatever it was the bull run but the people who made money with crypto didn't learn any real skills they didn't learn sales they didn't learn marketing they learned management didn't learn how to deal with stress didn't learn
They didn't learn anything. They didn't struggle. There was no pain. They bought a coin. They watched it go up. Now they tell the world how smart they are. They think they're a genius. They think they're too good to work. These people. Nah, I'm too smart to work. You don't understand. I know crypto. I bought this coin. My friend, every single coin went up. You're not a genius. Everything went up. All of them went up. You could have bought anything. Yeah, you were in the right place at the right time. You made a little bit of money, but you've learned absolutely zero.
And unfortunately, if you have money but no lessons, and you're still a dummy, that money is not going to last long, and you're going to lose it. And the world we live in now is also hyper expensive. Like, you make a couple hundred thousand dollars, and you think you're rich. - You lose 20% the same day. - Bro, like--
The amount of money you need nowadays to be considered rich is ridiculous. I was with Dan Bilzerian.
a couple weeks ago and i was telling him how quickly my life has changed i used to go to a holiday for a week with 500 600 pounds right for the week yeah when dan messaged me and said let's hang out he was in france i was in romania i was like cool yeah um i had some cars in germany i had trucked over to wait for me there because the roads are nice i organized my jet from bucharest to to france i needed a security team to come with me i hired the security team to come with me i like to use my romanian guys so he'd get a bigger jet to accommodate them by the time we jetted in with
everybody six or seven people needed five-star hotel rooms everybody ate food i sat and had a meeting with dan i took the cars for a spin around the mountains went to a spa a little bit jumped back on the jet with the entire security team put the cars back on a truck to germany and flew home so from by the time i had a three-hour meeting with a friend it cost me 400 grand oh my goodness that's how expensive the world is at the top so you're sitting there and you've made 200 grand on a crypto pump and you think you think oh i'm rich you are a brokey and you haven't even made
bad for kids because it has a whole bunch of kids out here thinking they don't need to work hard. They don't need to dedicate themselves. They don't need to learn important lessons. They can just chase a pump and win the lottery and it ain't going to happen. That's why you lose all their money. So that's the bad thing about crypto. And that's why I'll sit here right now and do a plug and say, join the real world instead or join Hustlers University instead and learn real lessons that you can apply to anything. So you'll never be broke and have a real network like the war rooms. You can never be broke. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin goes to a million dollars or zero. I'll make money either way. I'll make money either way because I have skills and not
Not by day trading, not by that. I'm just gonna know things other people don't know before they know them. I'm just gonna have opportunities identified and presented to me before other people have them. And it doesn't matter if Bitcoin goes down to zero or it goes up to $10 million a coin. Either way, I'm gonna make insanely large sums of money because of my network and because I'm respected and because I know important people. And that's the problem with these crypto kids. They have none of that. - Yeah, so I have a question. You have a lot of strengths.
What would you say are some of your biggest strengths and some of your biggest skills, some of your biggest weaknesses as Andrew Tate?
As Andrew Tate.
I'd like to think I'm pretty all-encompassing when it comes to strengths.
And I've made sure of that.
My father had a saying, which is now my saying, as I'm the oldest Tate. My unmatched perspicacity, coupled with sheer indefatigability, makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor. And I stand by that. I do like to believe I'm a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor. If someone were to come up to you and say, you have to have a skateboarding competition, but don't worry. The guy you're skateboarding against can't skateboard. You'd be like, cool. And then I turned up. Part of you would be like, shit. I can't even skateboard. But part of you would be like, ah, Tate. Tate, this guy. Yeah, it's not this guy.
I'm just that guy. - That's pretty good. - I'm just that guy who's just, I'm just good at stuff.
And nobody wants to compete against me at anything. So I'm good at everything. My weaknesses...
I've strongly...
analyzed my weaknesses. In fact,
I've sat around with friends of mine and with people who I care about dearly and who care about me back and said, if I had to hurt me,
how would I do it? If I decided to do damage to me in my life, how would I do it? Where are my weaknesses? It's been analyzed and talked about and discussed at length. Because you need to do that reflection. You have to know. Most people don't do that. Most people don't say, if someone wanted to ruin my life, how would they ruin it? So I know all of my weaknesses. I know all my weak points. Obviously, I defend and guard them the best you can, but obviously not everything can be completely defended and guarded. I know what they are. I'm not going to advertise them to
a target on earth is, I'm certainly one of the top hardest people on earth to damage, whether emotionally, psychologically, physically, et cetera. I'm extremely difficult to damage because I live a reality in which I'm very conscious of these things, paranoid perhaps, and I'm hard to get to. Most men, you can just steal his girlfriend.
Most men, you just steal his chick. You steal his chick or just run up on him when he goes to the chicken chip shop. Most men are so easy to hurt. Most men you can just lie about in the media, matrix attack them, and they'll have a mental breakdown. Most men are so absolutely not mentally weak. They'll say sorry. Yeah, they'll cry. I did none of that stuff, right?
Um, most men, you can just message this girl. You just get a famous guy with a blue tick to message his girl and bam before you know it. She's in his bed. Tell him about how that man. Like most men are absolutely not easy to her. They're controlled by all their emotions completely. But how do you detach yourself from your emotions? It's not about detaching yourself from your emotions. I feel every single emotion. It's just about using them all in a positive direction. If I feel extremely happy and excited, I'm going to use that as motivation or energy to do amazing things and do good and work hard. If I feel absolutely depressed and distraught, I'm going to use that as endless energy and motivation.
to do amazing things and work hard. It doesn't matter what you give me. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can only be converted and transferred. It doesn't matter what fuel you give me. If you give me diesel, petrol, kerosene, vodka, it doesn't matter what you put inside of my engine. Hard work is gonna come out. Absolutely, that's all I know how to do. That's all I know how to do. It doesn't matter what fuel you put in my engine. My engine only knows how to do one thing and that is succeed. That is only, that's all I know how to do. So it doesn't matter what you feed me with. I'm gonna be massively successful regardless. Yeah. Doesn't change anything. Yeah.
exact definition of top G. Top G, top striker. Yeah. A top G is a man. I want to put it in the dictionary. Yeah, that's a good idea. A top G is a man of impeccable perspicacity and sheer indefatigability who is a feared opponent. In any realm of human endeavor. Correct.
That's a top G. That's a top G. The first one was your dad. He was the original top G, the OG. Yeah. And I'm now the oldest Tate. I have the same name as him. So I'm going to undertake the second is gone. I'm going to undertake the third this year. And there'll be a day when I'm going to undertake the fourth is fighting the Matrix. This is the beauty of life.
I have a question. This is destiny and lineage. - It's a bit sensitive, but...
I mean, I heard in a video you spoke about it during the time of your father.
God rest his soul, his funeral.
I think at that time you had some work going on. And maybe you could relate that story. Yeah, so I missed my father's funeral because I just moved to Romania. I had just invested every single penny I had in this enterprise. Yeah.
I was now the oldest man alive in the Tate family. I had to look after my mother and my siblings and take care of people. I had to make a choice. Do I fly back to America and spend money and time and go to this funeral and waste a few weeks? Or do I sit here and just focus on this enterprise and make sure that it cannot fail? And we talked earlier about speed. Most people go, it's only two weeks. It's only a week. It's only a week. The people who say it's only a week are the people who are broke. They don't value time. That's the reason you're all poor, because you say it's only a week. It's almost tomorrow. Oh, I'll do it later.
an hour. It's only a day. It's only a minute. You are competing against people like me. We do not waste a second. So I had to make a decision. And I decided that as the oldest man in the family, it's more important. I achieved financial stability for all of us than to go and pay respects to my father and his funeral, because I paid respect to him every single day of his life. And I pay respect to his memory every single day now. And I pay respect to him by being monumentally successful. The reason my father has talked about and discussed at length is because of the absolutely
so hard by becoming so unique and individual and fantastic and humble.
The world asks me about my upbringings and then my father's memory is kept alive. So I made, I know I made the right decision. I know he's happy with the decision I made. A lot of people would have gotten emotional and decided, oh, I had to go to the funeral and had a breakdown and went to the funeral and been sad, et cetera, et cetera. You did what your dad thought would, what I did, what I was taught to do, which is perform.
That's what I was taught to do. I was upset, obviously. I was sad, obviously. I was heartbroken, of course, but I took all of that energy.
And I worked harder than I've ever worked. I worked 22 hour days for months because I couldn't sleep.
Yeah. And I became one of the most successful people on the planet. Is that what you say? That's how you get over a tragic loss like that. I think that any emotion you feel should be converted into positive influence. Yeah. You should do good things with any emotion you feel. I can't. What else are you going to do with it?
And this is a genuine question. What else, let's say your wife breaks your heart.
If you're not going to work, you can't sleep anymore. You're upset. She's running around with a new dude. You see her Instagram story. She's got some new guy. You're furious and you're, you're angry and you're jealous and you're bitter.
You have all of this inside of you, but you're not going to go to the gym and work hard and become so fantastically in shape and so rich and so powerful that no girl ever leaves you again. You're not going to do that. What are you going to do with it?
Text her.
try and explain to her she doesn't care like you can write the most perfect english you can write the most beautiful words ever constructed forget shakespeare you can do it doesn't matter she doesn't care she just doesn't care she's distracted she forgot about you she forgot about you so what are you going to do with all of that inside of you if it's not positive well it's going to consume you and you're going to end up self-destructive or you're going to embarrass yourself or you can take all of that and put yourself in a position where it never happens to you again yeah those
are the choices. So what's the most intelligent choice to make? You know, I, I don't understand how many humans function in the world today. I don't get people who don't think like me. I don't understand it. I'm like, well, then how do, how have you survived this long? Life is hard. Life is difficult.
I, maybe I've just been unlucky, which I don't believe in, but I've had so much trauma and bad events and negativity and stress and all these things that happened to me. And I've used all of it to be monumentally successful. If I wasn't that way inclined with the workload that God put on my shoulders, I'd just be in a ditch somewhere. I just would have killed myself by now. Like, I don't understand how people are functioning. If you're not thinking like me and you're going through life with any other mindset.
You've been extremely fortunate that God smiled on you and allowed you to sit around most of the time doing jack shit. And you have yet to be punished for that. I could never have lived that life. If I was a bit lazy or a bit, you know, or I was a bit of a snake or I lied to people, I'd be dead by now. Like, so a lot of these people are just absolutely and utterly blessed by God that they managed to go through life with such a non-competitive mindset. And they still breathing. Like, I don't get, I don't understand how people can think any other way.
I had a bad couple months. Why? Oh, my girl left me. You've wasted months? You've wasted months over some ****. Like you had the, think of how much God loves you to have given you the grace and given you the opportunity to waste months of human time over some ****.
Like talk about blessed head to toe. If I waste months, empires are going to collapse. I'm going to end up in a cell or dead. If I waste months, I have things to do every single day. I can't waste a second. Like these people are just absolutely infinitely blessed and.
Their mindset is a product of that because they're, they're spoiled children.
Absolutely spoiled children. If you're going through life with any other mindset besides a hyper competitive one, where you're capable of competing with some of the most dangerous men on the planet and all their forms, me and my network, and also my competitors. If you don't have that mindset, then you have to understand that you are spoiled. You're spoiled by your reality. Cause there's a whole bunch of people out here daily who fail. There are men out here who fail daily and they have yet to feel the true consequence for it. They fail to go to the gym when they know they should have gone to the gym. They fail because they forgot their keys and they
to find him. They fail because they replied to a question they got sent on WhatsApp the wrong way. They fail because they didn't smile when they're supposed to. They didn't say please and thank you to that person who helped them. They fail because they didn't say hi to that girl who's looking at them out the corner of her eye. They just fail perpetually. They go through life missing every opportunity and just failing, failing, failing. And somehow we've built a society which is so soft and God is so giving and so graceful that they still have a place to eat and
and somewhere to sleep and they're still surviving that that shows how nice god is because before this society truthfully if you were that level of failure you would be dead survival of the fittest and none of these men out here are fit their mindset isn't fit the reality isn't fit they're absolutely they're failures they're failures and they're just failing every single day i'm like oh but you know tomorrow i'll go to the gym you've been failing your whole life that's all you've done is fail and then you sit and wonder why people like me absolutely
is so easy to become a top tier male in the world today because the competition is so ridiculously low there are two percent killers like me and everybody else amateur head-to-toe amateur they can't even pay attention to anything they can't try anything they're amateurs and it's it's it's really mind-blowing to me because i've tried with all of my computational power to imagine having a mindset different to mine and i just can't see a reality worth having i can't see a reality worth
I can't see how you're going to build a life worth experiencing if you have any other mindset.
I can't see it. I've never met somebody with a fantastic life who did not completely and utterly believe in themselves. I've never seen somebody massively succeed and they didn't believe in themselves ever. I've never seen somebody who just allows life to happen to them and become blown off course by some sadness, end up doing massively monumental and important things. I've never seen it. It's never happened. And it's never going to happen because it's competitor. It's like crypto. It's player versus player. Right. And there's people like me out here.
and you take a few months off and she ends up on my jet and I get rid of her and I don't give a shit. It was because you never took those months off. You were always working.
Yeah, that's right. And if she leaves me afterwards, let's say she just likes to leave men. I don't care. I'm still working. You're still crying. You can't possibly ever beat me. I will continue to beat you into attorney as will my bloodline. You will sit and pay the price for the rest of your human years. Even your ancestors above you are disappointed in you and your offspring for the rest of your lineage will look up and say, my great, great, great grandfather was a loser because I broke his heart and now we've been broke ever since. Yeah. Yeah. That's the reality.
the way you talk about it.
It's so much struggle, it's so much hardship, but still you consider yourself the most luckiest person. - I'm absolutely the luckiest man on the planet. - 'Cause still now you still have a lot of hardship. You're getting hit from this direction, from that direction,
You know what I mean?
How do you, first of all, if you could mention some of the moments where you're really struggling in your life, where you're really like in threats and you're like really stuck and how you consider yourself lucky even despite all this. I'll tell you why I'm absolutely lucky and I don't want to give too many details away, but.
In my previous life, I was certainly living-- I knew some very dangerous people. I've done some dangerous things. There's been a few expose documentaries on the kind of things I was involved in previously.
I've had attempts on my life. People have tried to stab me. I've had people try to kill me. I've had members of my family, attempts on them. I've had a very certainly difficult life. I don't consider any of the mental stress of this recent Matrix attack anywhere near comparable to the physical altercations and things that have happened to me. But the reason I'm the luckiest man on earth is because God has given me endless building blocks to build a superhero.
He's given me endless power. He's given me endless motivation. What did we say? Yeah, give me endless I have endless sources of power I can sit here right now and recall events that will prevent me from sleeping for two to three days and
That gives me a superpower that other men do not have. They want to go to sleep. They're tired. I can stop being tired for days at a time. I can just have a thought. I can remember. I can sit, close my eyes, and use the power of my brain to vividly remember events, and I will not sleep for days.
- You don't need any drugs or anything. - I've never taken a drug in my life. I've never tried cocaine in my life. I've never tried weed in my life ever. - Wow. - I drink a lot of coffee. I smoke cigars, a bit of vodka, but I've never tried a narcotic in my life. - Wow.
God has given me an endless source of power. And when people come to me and say, oh, this happened, I'm really sad, or my heart broke, or this bad thing happened to me, I say, good.
Good. Thank the Lord that he's given you this endless source of motivation. You're wasting it. That's your problem, but it's been given to you. Nitrous oxide has been given to you. You just have to use it in the correct way. So I'm the luckiest man in the world because.
All the bad things that happened to me have given me all the building blocks to become the most fantastic man on the face of the planet. Yeah. You spoke about smoking. So you smoke cigars, right? Correct.
Shisha? Yep.
Sometimes. Okay. So, but if hate paying, you hate, right? Correct. Yeah. Yeah. And why is that? Well, she's just tobacco. Yeah. Cigars are tobacco. Right. It's a plant. We basically kind of know what it is. Yeah. I don't smoke weed at all, but I kind of get it's a plant, whatever. Yeah. Right. But it's escapism. I'd say there's a difference. I'd say that tobacco is more of a stimulant, and I'd say that...
that weed is more of an intoxicant. - Correct, well the reason I don't touch any narcotics at all is because
Firstly, I was a professional athlete and my blood was tested. I'm now 35 years old without ever having tried a drug ever. Is there any point in starting now? No, I get it. I've lived my whole life without ever trying these things. Why start now? Yeah. Also, when I look at some of the most degenerate, stupid, ridiculous people on the planet, they all use drugs. It's very it's not very often I meet a man who's completely head to toe, has his life in order and he likes drugs. I a lot of rich people take cocaine. Yes.
And I do know them and some of them, but I still think they'd be better without cocaine. You know, that's just genuinely a vice. But if you go to a festival full of brokies, full of peasants and peons, full of people who don't try very hard at life, and they sit there and they idolize these false idols given to them by the Matrix. And they stand in a crowd full of millions of other people like an insignificant peasant and jump up and down. Whoa, Diplo, whoa, whoever. Yeah, just complete peasant mindset. If you look at these people and say, do you like drugs? Guess what they say? I love it.
Oh yeah. So, so I avoid, I don't want to go anywhere near the peasantry. Right. So, cause that's what it is. It's disgusting and it's peasantry. So that's why I don't take drugs. And, uh, the reason I don't like vape is because I don't think that.
vape is even remotely natural because the tobacco is a plant okay cool but if you manage to put chemicals inside of a little container that tastes like blueberry ice yeah what even is blueberry ice it's not even a flavor it's just words and and then you taste it and you go
that does taste like blueberry ice. How did they pull that off? I can't believe it's possibly good for me. Add in the fact that it cost a dollar and comes deep from the heart of China. You think they give a shit about the West just puffing away on this petrochemical? They don't care. They're happy. Yeah, so if you're going to smoke, at least smoke something. It was grown.
I'd say they say the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. And with tobacco, there's scientific studies about what it is.
with with vape we don't really know what's the problem well the reason i smoke is not because i'm addicted because i have an iron mind and i could blink and cure my brain and stop smoking completely in fact when i certain places i go to in the world i don't smoke for months at a time
I I'm not addicted to anything. The reason I smoke is because nicotine is good for your testosterone level. Okay. That's the reason I smoke. I smoke because I like the drug of nicotine because nicotine is actually positive. The reason I drink coffee is not because I'm addicted because caffeine is a miracle drug. Yeah. Caffeine is a miracle. I drink endless coffee. And of course, the matrix will come along and say too much coffee is bad for you. Too much meat is bad for you. They say anything to make you weak and stupid. Caffeine, people don't understand that coffee changed the
we were living our lives in rhythm with the sun. We got up when the sun came up, we went down when the sun came down. We didn't go against it very much with the industrial revolution and caffeine, the introduction of caffeine. We now had night shifts,
We now had double shifts. Think about this. If a job introduces a coffee break, if a company says, take, stop working and drink this coffee, that's because the coffee you have
is worth the time they let you not work, 'cause you make up for it, plus some. That's how powerful it is. And what's actually interesting about me is, when I think back, my entire reality is caffeinated.
I haven't been awake without caffeine.
In years. Yeah. I drink coffee every single day. So I thought about this and I thought maybe life's better without caffeine. So I took a week off of coffee. Yeah.
And there was zero advantage. I didn't sleep any better. I felt pissed off. I didn't feel like I could focus as well. I was more tired, but I couldn't sleep any better. It was weird. I was just like, this isn't me. Now, obviously I'm still a hyper competitive individual. I still went to the gym. I still did my work. I'm still the top G, but I didn't feel as good. No benefits. There was no benefits. So after a week I had a cup of coffee and it was like, the miracle is back.
develop a coffee addiction. It's fantastic. There's nothing bad about caffeine. I have 10 to 15 coffees a day, every single day. And I will do to the day I die. And so, so to just to finish off for my vices, coffee is not a vice. I want the caffeine. Smoking is not a vice. I want the nicotine. These are drugs that I believe are genuinely good for me. The only vice I guess is alcohol. And I, and although it looks like in some of my videos, I drink a lot that I can drink a lot. I must have the genetic disposition. I can out drink almost anybody on the planet.
And I know I'm a professional. So for me to get drunk, it has to be a controlled closed environment or I have to have a security team. I will not get drunk.
in open never it's either in my house with armed guards outside or it's on a yacht which is we it's on a yacht which is in the middle of the ocean or it's very difficult for me to get drunk because i don't like to lose control of reality like that and and nine times in fact not nine nine point nine nine nine times out of ten if i'm drinking i either have a weapon on me or somebody next to me does that's crazy yeah but i think you know you're talking about coffee but i'd say the one bad thing was like the problem is the more you have the the less effect it gives you so then
You think it gives you less of an effect, but when you quit it... Because your body builds a tolerance. No, it doesn't.
Do it. Nah, I stick to the base. I have 10 to 15 coffees every day. That's what I have every day. It's the same number and
I...
I don't think I built a tolerance to it because when I stopped drinking it, I felt the difference. So I know that it's doing something. It does something. I quit. It was only two weeks ago I did this one week no coffee thing. It was garbage. And I did it because I thought, you know, you see these idiots online. Take cold showers. Don't drink coffee. Read books. I knew they're full of shit because none of them have anything. They're all brokies. And if I were to ever meet any of these people in person, these self-help gurus, I could grab them by their necks.
And I could ring them to death. I know that they're not met, right? I could destroy all of them. So I'm not interested in really talking to any of them. But I thought about the coffee thing. And I thought, well, my entire reality is caffeinated. Let me try life without it. And it was terrible. Coffee is a gift from God. Caffeine is beautiful as is nicotine. Ingest as much as possible. And for any doctor who says that it's unhealthy, meet me in the cage and we'll talk about health. Because if I can still beat the shit out of you, then I don't want to hear your opinions on health. Health, yeah. Because I think I'll do just fine against any doctor who said coffee is a bad idea.
gym. There's a lot of
Maybe you'd say like top G's or like big people who have made it in life, career wise, money wise, who have never been to a gym. You know, you look at like, for example, someone like Elon Musk, like quite chubby, you know, or like, for example, not like he was a good person, but like Pablo Escobar made a lot of money. Big fat guy. You know, a lot of the people who've made a lot of money. I love gym. I believe it's like really good. I go almost every day. Yeah.
but for like two years. But like, what about these other people who made it? - Yeah, firstly, I have nothing bad to say about Elon, 'cause Elon's top E, right? I gotta show respect where it's doing. - Top G, Elon. - Yeah, he's top E. But I think that a strong body is a strong mind. I think that going to the gym is important for your mental health.
It is for me anyway. I train absolutely every single day. I am not on any kind of steroid. I'm not on test or TRT. I'm on testosterone replacement therapy. I'm not on any kind of pill. I don't even take creatine. I don't take protein powder, nothing. And a lot of people don't believe that about me. A lot of people say, oh, you know, because there's pictures of me where I'm I'm a big guy. You know, I look a bit skinny in a shirt, but they look at me without a shirt on. They're like, wow, you're big. What are you taking? What are you taking? I'm like just like a coffee.
cigars, a lot of meat and hard training. And I'm 35 and I've never had a single injection in my body ever. God, God is my witness. And I say this on podcasts because there's so many people who believe I am not natural for some reason. And it's kind of a compliment, but they believe I'm not natural. And I say this now openly. So if I ever get busted doing these things, you can sit and call me up on it. I mean, Logan Paul is a steroid head. He's, he's a big, I've told him before I'll fight him if he can piss in a cup, but he can't because he's, he's massively steroids.
and forth. It's a long story with him and he was kind of cool. And then he, when the matrix attacked me, he cucked out and became a complete, but like he's talking about a boxing match. Yeah. You have to pass a drugs test because if I start taking drugs, like you are Logan, I'm going to be, I'll be an animal. I'm God's favorite, right? I'm an animal already. Imagine I was taking drugs on top. I'd be an animal. So he's sitting there injecting himself to just get a little bit of muscle.
Um, but I, I never take anything. I've never taken anything. And I say that God is my witness. So I just train hard and I only train for maybe 45 minutes to an hour each day. Every single morning is one of the first things I do. Uh, I wake up,
And I train. And what's amazing is I never feel like doing it. I never want to do it. I wake up and I have work to do. My phone's going off. I got a busy day. I have to do stuff. I'm in a big mansion. There's a Lambo outside. There's a nice pool. There's three chicks in bikinis chilling. They're like, hey, breakfast is ready. And I'm like, nope, nope, nope, nope.
I'm going to train. And I don't want to, but I still do it. Because that's the part of being a man. It's doing what you don't want to do. Yeah, no, I totally agree. So I want to ask you now. Give me a few stories. I love your stories. Craziest story involving a girl. Craziest fight story. Craziest thing you ever saw.
And the last one, if you can give me a crazy story which you've never mentioned before, ever. All my stories are very long. That's the problem. They're all like 30 minutes long. They're podcasts of their own. They're podcasts on their own. What was the first one? The first one was craziest story involving a girl. I've told this story before. I think somewhere you have to find it. It was when I met, when I first went to Romania, I was in a town called Konstanta. And there was a girl there who I met who was truly beautiful. She was Ukrainian. And she...
To tell the story properly is so long. It takes half an hour to get the context. Should we skip that one then? No, it takes half an hour to get the context. But basically it's the story of how
Me and her were talking.
And I
She was trying to get information out of me and I was paranoid and didn't want to give her too much information. But she liked me and I styled it off and I worked out that she was working for the club and she was getting everyone to spend a whole bunch of money all the time. And I'm the only guy who didn't spend money on her and we ended up having a summer of love. But it's an interesting story when it's told properly in its entirety. Yeah, because it's weird. It's a strange one, yeah. And I'll tell you what we should do. I'll tell the overview later.
of all the five stories and then we'll in the comments to people who want to hear which story they want to hear the most I'll do a nice 45 minute explanation of the story in depth so the craziest story involving a girl was her but she was very interesting case because I'm
It showed the power of female manipulation. In fact, I've changed my mind. I'm going to tell the story. So I'm in Constanze, Romania, right? I'm in Romania. I was there. This is maybe eight or nine years ago. At the time, there weren't so many foreigners who went there. I was in a club, and there was an absolutely beautiful girl. And I went over to her and said, hello. It's nice to meet you. You're absolutely gorgeous. And I started talking to her back and forth. And I said, can I buy you a drink? And she said, yes, I'd like this bottle of champagne. And at the time, I didn't have the kind of money I had now. So I said, ah, I'm sorry. I'm not going to buy you a bottle of champagne. I don't normally drink champagne.
I like beer yeah I didn't say beer but I styled it off I said oh so you can't really say that right so you have to be smooth about it I was like oh champagne we should enjoy a bottle of champagne together one day but I'm about to leave I just want to come say hello
So we'll do it sometime in the future. You have to be smooth about these things. James Bond, right? Because I didn't want to buy a...
$1,500 bottle of champagne. Yeah. So I styled it off, got her number, left. We're texting back and forth. She seemed like a really nice girl. Absolutely and not really beautiful. My standards are ridiculously high because I'm not a peasant like everybody else. I'm only associated with women. I heard only blondes.
I can have anything I want.
And I kind of like when they all match.
I live with very, very high standards. So she was truly beautiful. The next day I met her. We had lunch. And again, she tried to kind of hint at this drink. And again, I styled it off. That night I saw her on another man's table and they were buying all this champagne. And I was kind of a little bit annoyed because I thought I bagged like a really beautiful girl. And she's now on this table and all this champagne is coming. So whatever, it is what it is. I left it. I still text her a little bit back and forth. And it became this running joke.
a bottle of single bottle of champagne you're a man why don't you buy a bottle of single bottle of champagne and she was also in ask she was quite inquisitive she was like so what's your job what are you doing here she's trying to ask me lots of questions and i wouldn't answer any of them i'd always style it off with a clever answer yeah like what do you what's your job it's like i'm a priest or blah blah blah so um yeah we ended up becoming really good friends throughout the summer and eventually she came open to the fact that she's there specifically to make men spend money
a little bit of champagne that night to be fair she was a little bit drunk she said you're the only man I've ever met yeah you're the only man I've ever met who didn't follow my script Andrew
I said, what's the script? And she showed me in her, it was Facebook at the time. She showed me in her Facebook inbox,
The man would get her number. They'd meet the next day. Then after about two or three dates, she'd say, I can't fall in love with somebody who lives far away. Last time I've only been with one man in my whole life. Last time I was with a man like this, my heart was broken and she'd copy and paste this long message. The guy would start begging for her back. She would wait about a day and a half and then hit him back and go, okay, I'll come meet you, but I don't want to come my own because it's too, it's I'm falling in love with you. I want to bring some friends and we'll go to this place. And they'd go and spend more money on more girls, more champagne, more, more,
in exact order. And it was copy and paste messages. And every single dude fell for it. Just chasing this girl, promising her anything, taking her and all her friends to whatever place she needed to go that day for the commission. And this is like eight, nine years ago. She said she was making like 20 to $25,000 a month in commissions. Wow.
And she's some Ukrainian chick, she's like 19. Like her family a house, but like literally enriched her family off the back. Top G almost there. Yeah, she was absolutely amazing at manipulating, but it just showed how stupid men were. Every single man was falling for the same trick, all of it, head to toe.
After that, we got a bit closer and she was, we fell in love, let's say. And it was kind of funny because we spent the whole summer together. I never bought her a drink. I never bought her a drink. It became a thing where I said, I'm not buying you a thing. Because you didn't want to be one of those guys. Tap water only. So I was like, I'll get you tap. Do you want tap water? And she was like, oh, I made a big joke of it. She was buying the drinks because she had more money than me.
so um yeah that's the one of the craziest stories involving but you have to stand out
So they just want someone to stand up. I think it's, yeah. I mean, it was going on for weeks. There's a lot of nuance to it. I'm not saying don't buy girls drinks. In fact, if I meet a girl now and she wants a drink, I'll certainly buy her one. It was just a very unique scenario, unique circumstance that kind of led into a story. But the night she was going through those Facebook messages, it was crazy how quickly and instantly men will simp and beg and cry over a girl they've known for three days, promising, oh, we're going to be special. I'll take care of you. I think she's the one. Yeah, bro, it's crazy. Do you believe in the one?
I think it's just compromise.
Yeah. Every, I, there's, I don't think there's ever going to be one person on the planet you're truly compatible with. I think there's going to be, you know, a few. And, uh, if you have your life in order as a man, truly and completely in order, then you're compatible with a lot more people. I think that if you're a man and you're struggling to find somebody you're compatible with, that's probably because you're a degree, you're a loser. If your life's in order, then you're compatible with, with a lot of women like me, me, for example, I don't need a woman to mother me. I don't need a woman to motivate me to tell me to stop playing video games. I don't need her to do anything for me. I need her to be happy and
positive, protect my spirit, pray for me, maybe little things, make me a coffee, some kind of small gesture. But...
"My money's right, my motivation's right, my life is right. "And if she is associated with me, by proxy, "she's gonna have a fantastic life. "I can't fly on my jet.
and put her on an easy jet. She's going to end up on jets. She's going to end up in the five-star hotels. She's going to end up not having to worry about money. She's going to end up in the best restaurants. By proxy, she's going to have a very fantastic life. So you'll find that if your expectations of a woman are for her to be happy, and you have a lifestyle that makes her happy,
a lot of women are pretty happy. And you get along with basically all of them. It's kind of amazing how that works. It only takes a very special type of
to still be dislikable in those kinds of scenarios. Whereas if your life is less dislikable,
perfect or your reality is less impressive, then you need a girl who's happy to be bored and then it becomes harder. But I don't have any of those problems. Craziest fight story?
It could be street or in the ring. Yeah, I can't I can't tell the story of I
All right, I'll tell a very rough version of it.
It's exclusive.
Yeah.
I'm going to miss a lot of details. I was about 24.
I think. And I can't say why, but I had a problem with this guy.
And we were arguing. Sorry, was this during the kickboxing time? I was kickboxing, yeah.
But I was also, kickboxing doesn't make money like boxing, right? When you're kickboxing, this is, I was world, I was like one time world champion. You're making like 30, 40, 50 grand a fight, but you're fighting like twice a year. And it's, it's, yeah. I mean, towards the end, I was getting five, six fights a year and I was doing better. But when you're fighting like twice a year and you have to pay your coach and your taxes, you're living in London, you're not rich. So I was making some money on the side and I had a disagreement with this guy.
And we were kind of texting back and forth.
And
He stopped replying to me.
Totally stopped replying cold that was it and I was like okay, I text him a few more times and he'd totally stopped replying to me and about a
A week and a half later when I was walking to my car, he tried to stab me.
I was walking to my car even to this day if I walk to my car at night, especially if it's raining. I I I panic a little bit a little bit. I was walking to my car and I heard footsteps behind me This is one of the reasons I hate headphones and anyone I see in headphones is a fucking idiot because they you're so killable with headphones and you think you look Cool with your air pods and I can sneak up behind you with a chainsaw you dummy like anyone who anyone who has air pods or headphones in is a soft target Just distract. I heard it first and
I heard feet moving quickly and as I turned I've got a scar here on my hand where you can see the blade in my hand. Oh, I can see that.
I turned and I took the blade in the hand. And if that was my neck, I'd be dead.
Had you had missed that hand, had his hand made in a different position? Yeah, I could have easily died. I hit him, but it was sloppy, I'll admit. It was a bit sloppy. He wobbled, he took a step back, but now we're facing each other. But because I was bleeding so much, because my finger basically came off, because I was bleeding so much, I thought I'd been stabbed properly. And I ran.
Um,
But I could have been dead. And the only reason I'm not is because I heard him coming. I didn't see him coming. And that's why to this day...
If I sit in public and I see somebody with AirPods in,
I feel nervous for them.
If I can't explain it, I get anxious. It's like seeing somebody touching a chain about to touch a chainsaw. Like you're like, Whoa, don't do that. Yeah. When I see somebody and they're like,
Thank you.
I'm like you are so killable. Yeah, like just it's unbelievable because I heard it coming in and If I walk to cars at night on my own now, especially if it's raining I Have to check back and that thing so that was that was a story, but that's not a fight That's that's the thing about the real world is that the real world is violent and you'll often see that the idea of fighting is
is misunderstood even now in the war in ukraine i guarantee most of the men who got killed were never in a fight
You're doing your job.
- They never saw it coming. - You didn't stand a chance. They didn't even know they're dead, right? You're doing your job and bang. Very few were in a fight and then died. - Less than combat. - Less than 5%. The truth is about the world and violence is that there's very rarely combat. If he would have got me in my neck,
I was a world champion kickboxer. How, how, what combat would there have been? I would be, how many muscles you have. I would have died. Yeah. So, so,
The idea of fighting is misunderstood. The world is a violent place and violence is never fair. And anyone who says, oh, I do jujitsu, you're a dummy. Because if somebody wants you dead, they will kill you. And I'm lucky there was only him. You know, like nowadays they come in groups of 10.
And then you die. That's it. You will die. And that's why I am the way I am. And that's why I also understand there's not a man on the planet who I couldn't get if I didn't want to get him. If somebody hurt my family, I could get him. There's not a man on the planet I could not get. And I also know there's men in the world today who...
are thinking we'll try and get Tate. There are groups of men who wake up each day and they don't want me to breathe anymore. And you have to anticipate that and do your very, very best to prepare for that. The world is a dangerous place. The world is a dark place. And there are people out there that are evil. And I don't think many people actually understand how truly evil some men can be. It's inside of us. And yeah, that's my fight story. But I don't like the idea of fighting, especially on the street. I will do my absolute best to avoid and deescalate. And if it
then it goes to pure violence for me. I don't believe in fair fights. I don't believe in, hey bro, see you outside. I don't believe any of that shit. I'll pull the strap and just end all. I'm not playing games with anybody because it's winners and losers. Yeah, exactly. Honestly, you're... So one of the most recent interviews you did
So it got very heated.
It was like...
The Piers Morgan interview Yeah
and
You know, a lot of those clips are going viral.
I feel like it was a complete, like, very unorganized. He never let you speak. Yeah. Yeah.
So what are your thoughts on that whole thing? Because that's like the most recently, like the biggest thing you've... the biggest... Yeah, it was an attempted character assassination.
99.6% of all of the comments on the video are positive towards me. Commentate W. Yeah, commentate W. So 99.6%. I know that because the war room analyzed it. So...
It was a PR win.
I was
deliberately softer than I could have been. I could have destroyed him. But the Matrix is looking for new reasons to attack me and I'm not going to give them rope to attempt to hang me with. So I knew that that was a Matrix-led attack. Because you were very silent. Yeah, it was a Matrix-led attack and I adjusted accordingly. And it turned out to be a massive PR victory for me. So thank you very much, Piers Morgan. I win. You did well. I win. Yeah, you won.
Why would you that's why you agreed to do it, right? You know, I knew it was a trap. Yeah, yeah, I knew it was a setup Of course like your dad said are you I let their lives? Yeah I allow manipulation to find out where my enemy wants me to go Then I use my mind to break the trap and punish the perpetrators. That's another one of his quotes and he's absolutely not really right I still do that to this day. I'll sit and watch the news head-to-toe. I'll watch it. Oh, new variant. Ah, be afraid of the new variant I need 17 injections. Okay, let me see here. Let me let me watch this head to toe. I'll watch all of it
to find out where the enemy wants me to go. - That's what they want to think. - 'Cause if you don't know where they want you to go, you might end up there on accident. - And you don't know where you should be on the other side. - Correct, right? If you completely ignore the enemy's attacks to manipulate you, you might end up where they want you to be on accident, right? So I watch it. What do you want me to believe? Let me watch it. Okay, I understand. This is what you want. - Okay. - Bullshit. Next.
I'm not doing that. I'm the opposite. Completely. You have to allow them, allow manipulation to find out where your enemy wants me to go. And then use your mind to,
To break the trap. So I allow people to try all the time so I can understand their aims and goals very, very effectively. I have to understand exactly what they're trying to get out of me so that I can make sure that they fail.
Yeah. So, you know, we talked a lot about your dad on this podcast and you've talked about him a lot.
But about your mom, what role did she play in your life? My mother is a fantastic mother. Yeah, she was amazing. She's still alive? Still alive, yeah. You still see her? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I take care of her. She's rich now. Yeah. I send her money and she panics. She's like, it's too much. She has like a panic attack. I'm like, chill. Buy a Lambo.
Yeah, she's good. She was a good mother. How does she feel about where you are now with all this?
Like commotion.
She's enormously proud of me. She always knew I'd end up here.
you know, I remind her of
My dad, she knew who I was going to be. Revolutionary. Yeah, but she was enormously proud of me, but she doesn't ever give me any kind of advice in any way. No. I'm the man, right, of the house. I'm old and big enough now. She doesn't call me really with, I think you should. It's very much like. Moral support. Yeah. Are you okay? Yeah, top G. Sorry about it. I got it.
Okay, I hope you know what you're doing. I know what I'm doing. You would never, in any case, you would never like show any like weakness or any like, you'd just be like,
Yeah, I mean, I love my mother with all my heart. She has no guidance she can possibly give me. She's an old lady. What can she tell me about the realities of earth and violence? I'm glad she's been shielded from all those things. She doesn't know anything. She just knows that her son is monumentally successful.
And I don't want her to ever be worried.
I didn't even tell her when this happened. I don't want her to worry about me. I want her to just live a happy experience. I think that's one of the big differences between men and women. When I was saying earlier about how men need struggle and happiness doesn't matter, I'd actually argue the contrary for women. I think that women who are not happy are not very feminine and that they become masculinized and bitter. And I think it's important for a woman to live a happy reality. I think women should be happy. I think that their job inside of a relationship with a man...
quite often is to be a beacon of light and to be sunshine and to be a cheerleader with me in my life the only way a woman can truly support me is to be constantly positive i'm i'm fantastic at everything i can't meet a woman who can do anything for my life besides when i come home pissed off she's like hey yeah a smile you know like like and being positive as a female is an extremely feminine uh quality and you don't want sorry sorry you don't want females that like that like too much like what do you say like you like a female that like challenges you mentally or
Yeah. No, but I mean like ask you questions or like. No, I'd love to have a conversation with my partner about interesting things. I love to talk about things. Sure. But my life is too complicated for me to come home to my woman and ask for help. Of course. Yeah. My life is far too complicated and large. I can't come home to a woman I'm dating and saying this man tried to kill me. She'd go crazy. What's she going to do? Go kill him?
What's she going to do? She ain't going to know what to do. Or I can't come home and talk about the things I talk to them like, what? What are you talking about? And then they're going to- Unmatched what? Yeah. Then they're going to panic. Yeah. And so then, right? It's better if I come home and the man's tried to kill me and he said, what happened to you? And I say, I don't want to talk about it. And they're just like, oh, I'll take care of you. Do you want coffee? Do you want tea? That's better, right? So I think that a woman being positive and being happy is a very feminine quality. And I think that men like happy women. And I think women should try and live happy
which will make her unhappy. Even if something bad was happening or I had trouble or I had problems, I would never sit to my mother and complain. I would want my mother to live as happy and stress-free as possible. Peace of mind, yeah. As opposed to my boys or my team, it's the opposite. I'd come and say, we're f***ing. Yeah, get moving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's different. Yeah, yeah. So again, when we talk a lot about money, I want to ask you, how much is enough money? Like, because I know right now, you know,
I don't know how much you're worth. I don't know if you're real that. Guess.
300 million dollars.
Thank you.
Pretty close, yeah. I read online it was 235.
- Yeah, it's pretty accurate. - Really? - Yeah, yeah. - Nah. Okay, but so how much do you think is enough? Are you aiming for a billion?
Or like, are you happy now? I want 999 million.
After you get a billion, they get you? They're going to get me anyway before that, probably. I'm going to try my best to avoid that. But truthfully, after...
After...
50, no, not even 50. After $20 million,
life is basically the same. If you don't want to buy a jet and you don't want to buy a yacht,
You'll never need more than $20 million. Really. Because there's nothing to buy. And you can rent the yachts and the jets. You can charter yachts. You can charter jets, which is probably smarter anyway. I had a jet. I owned one for a few months and I sold it. And the reason I'll never buy a jet again. They can track it. Yeah. All these on Twitter are tracking them. Top G's jet. I'm not having it tracked. But no, the LVMH guy, he just sold it. He sold it. Because I don't want everyone knowing where I am all the time. Elon Musk, some kid on Twitter is tracking his jet. I know, I know. It's criminal. So I...
If you don't buy a yacht, which is very expensive, or buy a jet, you can buy a nice house in most places on the planet. You can buy two or three cars. You can buy some diamond watches. You can buy some nice clothes. And that's all there is to buy. What's actually kind of amazing to me is when I was poor, I thought, if I got rich, I'd buy all this stuff. And now I'm rich and I can buy anything I want. And there's nothing to buy.
There's nothing to buy. Clothes, I already have too many. My wardrobe's completely full head to toe. Don't wear most of them. Diamond watches, you get 10. How many do you really need? Cars, I have 28. I drive like four of them.
What's there to buy?
Coffee, dinner.
yeah there's nothing to buy like it's so the money is just about influence and power that's all it's about um and now because i'm a workaholic and because i refuse to be a lazy person because i am addicted to my mission i keep accidentally making millions and millions and millions of dollars and i don't need it and i have nothing to do with it but it's just if i get a good opportunity i'm gonna take the money and you know the war room hits me up let's make 10 million here okay let's do it but um yeah it's but there's nothing to buy so i say once you're past 20 25
it you're staying in the best hotels you're eating what you want you drive the car you want you wear the clothes you want you have the watch you want and that's it there's not so why 999 why we want that was kind of a joke about not wanting to be a billionaire because i think once you get to billionaire status
you're going to have a degree of trouble. I don't know. But for me, I want to be like that billionaire because it's just... I don't know. But if you're a billionaire, you need to be aligned to a government. You need to really choose a side.
I feel like you need to belong to either the Western Hemisphere or the Eastern Hemisphere. You need a degree of governmental protection. You need to be politically aligned in some particular way. I think that once you get to billionaire, you're too powerful to just be a truly free agent, if that makes sense. You have to join a team. Whereas right now,
I am effectively a free agent. I can move back to America if I wanted to. I'm in the UAE. I could also, via my friends, move to Moscow if I wanted to. I could choose any side.
If I wanted to. But I think if I had a billion, I would have already had to have chose a side long ago, if that makes sense. All the big Russian billionaires right now, they're freezing their banks. Because they're all billionaires. That's what I mean. But have they frozen all your banks? Where's your money now? Yeah. When Hustlers University, when the Matrix was attacked, I did have a bunch of bank accounts frozen. Huh? I did have a bunch of bank accounts frozen. Oh, now they're all frozen. Yeah. Obviously, I can't say on the podcast how am I...
my infrastructure works. But there were some accounts in my name which were frozen. You lost a lot of money?
9, 10 something. Nothing. One lunch. Chump change. Chump change. Yeah. Maybe, you know what I was thinking? Maybe Elon Musk will continue to buy Twitter. And then once he buys it because you like him, maybe he'll give you his... Yeah, if I come back on Twitter, that would be epic. That would be good. Elon, if you're listening to this. Yeah. We'll see. God has a plan. But why don't all the people who have been censored or removed, why don't they all join one platform? Because I feel like everyone's joining different platforms.
- Like Trump has his own thing, you know, you're quite on Rumble.
Someone else on another platform. I get it. If they all joined one, I feel like that would be really strong. Well, I feel Rumble where I am now, which is rumble.com slash tape speech. I think they're the only video alternative to YouTube. There's a lot of Twitter alternatives. You have Getter, Truth Social, Parler. You have all these ones. But I think that for video, there's only Rumble. I'm now rumble, rumble.com slash tape speech. I think that Rumble is going to go to the moon. I think they're going to take serious market share. It's certainly a stock to buy. It was $10 when I joined. I got up to $13, $14.
the stock it's tanked in the last three days because the wall street journal has started printing loads of bullshit articles doing a matrix attack yeah this podcast might come out retrospectively so it might be a different time but as it stands at the current time we're filming so it's gone down to like six or seven dollars which is a fantastic buy because it's going to go up to it's going to go up to fifty dollars um i think they're going to take massive market share from youtube personally because people are tired of the censorship and they're tired of the one version of events are tired of the single single pole the one polar world and they want to see
people are starting to understand that they can control all the information and control the narratives and they can control reality that's why i call it the matrix yeah if all of the news you read is written by one person and they don't allow opposing viewpoints to exist then they control and create a reality which is not real and that's why i call it the matrix they sit there and they tell you this is true this is true anyone who says it's not true is deleted this is the only version of reality we're going to allow to exist and they're purporting a false reality into our minds
but as we're wrapping up, would you grow out the hair? - Yeah, people always, like some of my biggest haters, it's kind of crazy.
-
I get insults from the people who dislike me. And they go, hey, but you're bald. And I'm like, but no, but genuinely imagine the intellect level of somebody sitting at home. Right? They have no money. They have no connections. They're not successful. They're objectively unattractive. They're objectively unhealthy. And they're obese. And they're sitting there looking at a man who's the most Googled man on the planet, physically in shape, desired by all the females he could possibly ever want. Strong network, multimillionaire, living a dream and going, no.
- He's bald. - But you're bald. Like it's just, it's amazing to me. What's crazy is I'm not bald. I shave my head. I can grow my hair out like you if I wanted to. - Oh, okay. - I can grow my hair out, no problem. I've shaved my head. - Yeah. - I've told, yeah, and I've told the story of, I've told the story before on other podcasts of why I did that. But,
I just think it's truly amazing how stupid some people are.
Like truly how dumb you must be. And, and to watch all my content and say, he's teaching so many things. I can join Hustlers university or join the real world or join the war room and get close to this man, his organization. And I can have a fantastic life. And instead of doing that, you sit and think.
- He's bald. - Like how dumb? - I felt bad to ask the question. - But how dumb are these people? Like it's,
And unfortunately, the law of averages ensures that
half of people are even more stupid than average. And that's just the way averages work. So there are some extremely stupid people out there and they just are uninterested in any, in even progressing their own lives. There are people out there who genuinely exist and you could take their hand and hold their hand and try and walk them through life head to toe. And they'd still just find a reason to bring those the water. You can't make a drink. Some people just are born to lose.
And those are the people who insult me. The people who insult me are completely and utterly born to lose. Yeah.
But do you think that these people who are like less intelligent or like more happier? And I think I feel like intelligence sometimes it's and people have spoken about this were like fast intelligent, where it's like the more intelligent you are, the sadder you will be and the worse your life will be. Yeah, they say ignorance is bliss.
I think it's two ways. I know what you're saying. Ignorant people can, to a degree, be happier in certain scenarios than others. Yeah, because they don't understand what's really happening. They don't understand about the battle of good and evil. They don't understand about the matrix. They don't understand that they're a slave. They don't understand it. And they're ignorant to how good their life could be. So they think their life is good. I understand all that. But that all changes.
when times get hard. Because those people are not happening to life, life is happening to them. - To them. - And they are subject to-- - Circumstances. - Correct. I'm not subject to circumstance. No matter what happens, I can change country,
I can fight against the wind. You are the circumstance. I can disappear. I am the circumstance. Tate arrives and circumstances change. Whereas these people cannot do that. The circumstances dictates their life. And on a long enough time scale, especially in the world we're currently living in, I think that,
Things are going to get a lot harder for these people. And they will see soon that ignorance is not bliss because they cannot pay their heating bill. Whereas if they were less ignorant and paid attention, they'd be able to be living in a mansion like me with heating on full blast. So this is what happens. And it's good until it isn't.
being ignorant. And also, I don't think God rewards ignorance.
And I don't think most people out here are ignorant. I don't think most, but I'll say this now. I don't think most people out here are ignorant. I think that most people out here are cowards. And they choose to be ignorant. Yeah, I think they choose to be ignorant because they're cowards. They pretend there's no battle. They pretend there's no fight because they're too scared to fight. But most people out here understand everything I say is true. Most people out here understand that there's the shaitan and evil is being forced upon the youth of the children, being youth of the world. And they're trying very hard to destroy society at a fundamental level. And they want to enslave all of us.
that but they're just too scared to say it and too scared to fight against it so they pretend they don't know it because they are cowards ignorance is not our problem cowardice is our problem and i'll say one thing this battle that we're currently embroiled in is not a battle that anybody can avoid when god and satan themselves decide to fight for the morality of humanity as a whole
It's a monumental fight, which is one of the largest fights that has ever taken place anywhere in the known universe. And it's not something you can just hide away from. You can't be an ostrich and put your head in the sand and ignore the two titans of good and evil fighting. You have two choices. Either you understand what's happening in the world today and you're on the side of good and you're fighting against the matrix. Or you've accepted all the matrix programming to pretend that there is no battle. And then by extension, you're going to end up fighting against your own mind. And you're going to be in a fight either way. Your mind's either right and you're fighting externally against the enemy.
the matrix programming and you're sitting there fighting against your own depression, your own anxiety, fighting against your own struggles inside of yourself, you're going to fight anyway. There is no way to avoid this. So you have to make a decision. Do you want to have control of your own mind and control of yourself and fight for God and fight on the side of good against evil? Or do you want to accept the evil programming, fall down a hole of degeneracy and fight against yourself and self destruct and implode? That's your choice to make. But I think the intelligent choice is to fight against, to fight against evil.
Yeah, no, but definitely, I definitely think that was right. And...
On a last note, like, I wanted to ask you actually real quick two questions. One, about the tattoos, if you could explain them. And number two, what?
I heard you, well, I saw some videos that you dabbled into making some music. Yeah. I think it was funny. You want to comment on that? Yeah, so I have one tattoo. It's a snake.
It comes down here, it's a snake.
And we have like a Japanese samurai mask. I'm the Cobra. The mask is like my father guiding me towards battle. That's what this tattoo was I had it done in Thailand
Quite a long while ago. While he was alive. Yeah, he was alive. It took me three 12-hour days. It was pretty boring. I just sat there and drank Chang.
I was drinking Chang, getting my tattoo. When it was over, I never even put any cling film on it, nothing. I just went straight, started jumping in the pool, jumping in the ocean, riding motorbikes. I just left it totally. I was fighting. I was fighting with it. Everything is totally fine. So that was that. Music, yeah, I was messing around with music for a while. I only did that because I knew a guy who wanted to be a musician.
and I'd meet him and say, how are things going? He's going, bro, nearly finished my song and finished my album, and we're going to make a lot of money. I was like, cool. Six months later, I'd see him, how's things? Hey, bro, almost done with the album. I was like, it's been six months.
An album. Yeah, but you don't understand. You gotta mix the track. It takes time.
"Hey, we have computers, what, 10 minutes?" Okay, okay, two days. It's been six months, bro. Like, and I sit to him and say,
It can't take this long.
You're just smoking weed. You're not working. And he's like, no, you don't know. You don't know. So I thought, OK, I'll make a track.
So I made a song, I wrote some lyrics and hit a guy up, got a beat, got a mic. I know I'm not talented.
Talked, blah, blah, blah. I made a song in two and a half hours.
And I started releasing these songs I made in two hours and it was just to spite that guy just to teach him a lesson about how speed works it's funny because
obviously not because of my musical talents but because of my influence everywhere else i got millions of views on my videos yeah so i beat him so it's like how many views how many views you got zero and it's not not because the songs are good not because i think i'm a musical genius because you're tate because i'm tate but uh yeah they're like an hour two hours i threw them together and it was just a lesson in speed to to make sure that i wasn't
making any mistakes. And he was telling me it genuinely took months. I knew he was wrong, but the only way you truly know is to do. So I was like,
This has to be a lie. So I made a song in two hours. I made a video in three hours. And boom, boom. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bang. Millions of views. Done. And he's still talking about his album. He's probably still talking about it today. It probably doesn't even exist. Come down tomorrow. Be ready. It's coming. My life is going to change. Yeah. Well, what does a day in your life look like? What are your daily habits that you do to make your day good?
Do you meditate? Do you do affirmations? No, I don't meditate. I don't do affirmations. Um,
Maybe I meditate a little bit as I fall asleep Maybe But it's not like a conscious decision I wake up
I check my phone. I go through my phone for about half an hour. I then go and I start training. As I train, I stay on my phone in between sets.
I train every day. You're always online. I've noticed that. When I talk to you, you're always online. Permanently. You apply second. Permanently. 17 hours of screen time a day.
Oh, wow. Can we see your screen time? 17 hours a day. I can't show my phone, bro. Okay, never mind. But 17 hours of screen time. I believe you, though. That's crazy. Yeah, so if I'm awake, I'm online. Yeah. I'm a phone addict, I guess you can call it, but that's where all the important things happen. I have an empire that spans across 25 countries. I'm on my phone. I know that for peace of mind, I should use my phone less. I don't want peace of mind. I want chaos and war. You want to conquer? I want to conquer the earth. Genghis Khan did not want peace of mind. If he did, he would have stopped. I don't want peace of mind.
stay on my phone. Then I begin working. I'm doing a podcast now. If I'm not doing a podcast or if I'm not driving or if I'm not fighting, I'm online.
And I live my entire life online. If I'm awake, I'm working. If I sit to have shisha tonight at nine or 10 PM and there's a whole bunch of hot girls around and my brother's there and we're all chilling and we're talking, I'm doing all of that while I'm on my phone. I am working at the same time. I can easily sit and manage a multimillion dollar empire and talk to some bimbo at the same time. I'm not an idiot. It's not hard. I, I,
- Work. - But what do you-- - All I do is work.
All I do is work. I don't know how else to say it to you. People meet me and they're like, I'm surprised. I thought you'd be like, I'm surprised how quiet you are and you're just working. Correct.
I have a very, very large and vast empire across huge swaths of the world and different industries. And anything I've ever wanted, if I want a beautiful female or a Bugatti, another one, or $100 million or whatever, I'm going to get it via my phone. So I work. That's who I am. That's what I do. In fact, a video just released on YouTube, and it was...
from here in Dubai, and it's 12 minutes long, and it was behind the scenes of Tate. I just saw it. Yeah, yeah. Dubai, Tate in Dubai. Yeah, and there's one of the comments on there is, wow, Andrew's always on his phone. You're in the desert. You're on a table with like five girls, and you're literally sitting like this.
- In that video. - Correct.
I work. If I'm awake, I work. From the second I'm awake, first thing I do is check my phone. The last thing I do before I close my eyes, I'm on my phone. I am working.
Yeah. That's all I do. And you run on like very low sleep hours, yeah? Very. I probably sleep four to five hours a night. I don't necessarily recommend that. I know some people need more. It's actually interesting. I sleep like...
four to five hours a night, maybe average for like a week and a half, two weeks. And then I'll get to a point where I just need to sleep for like 15 hours and I'll sleep a bunch and then I'm back. And then I'll go, I'll go to bed at three. I'm back at up at eight, go to bed at four, up at eight. And then, but after a few weeks, I'm like, okay, I need like a day where I sleep. Um, and I put my phone in airplane mode so that people, when they're messaging me, they know I'm not getting it because if they're coming, if they're coming through and I'm not replying, people panic,
I'm on my phone so much that if messages are being delivered and I don't reply within 10 minutes, people start panicking. Is he okay? Have they got him? Have they got him yet? You know, cause there's people trying to get me. So I have to put airplane mode, which doesn't really fix it. Cause I guess if they do get me, it might be the day my phone gets busted. I don't know, but it's kind of a thing I do for the people who care about me. But, uh,
Yeah, I work, I work. That's why no one's ever gonna beat me. There's a whole bunch of other people, and gurus, and self-help coaches, and these people online.
None of them have been through the things I've been through. Most of them are still kids.
I don't even know how old you are. I'm 20. Okay, 20. Perfect. So I state this with absolute respect. You don't know shit about life to your 30. You just don't. You haven't lived enough. You can be smart, but you can't be wise. Anybody who's taking advice from a 25-year-old on the internet, you're a dummy. Because at 25, I was stupid. That's why I'm not giving you advice. I'm interviewing you. Correct. But at 25, I was dumb. And I'm the smartest man on the planet. So if you're sitting here and you're watching some guy's videos, and just Google his age. Don't listen to none of these people. They can have opinions. They can be entertaining. They can interview others.
They can give their insights, but also keep in mind they are still young. As a man, it takes a long time. You have to go through a bunch of crap to learn things. Pain. So nobody can outwork me.
Nobody can outcompete me. Nobody has a network like mine. And we're talking about me doing 17 hours a day. I have thousands of people on my work schedule.
Like I have a hundred, I have a hundred people who work for me directly. I have thousands of people inside the war room and 170,000 people inside of hate you who, if I were to send them a message, would do it. People I know, how do you conquer the algorithm? How do you do this? How do you do that? The number of hours of work, which is done per day in the name of Tate is immeasurable. It's, it's, it's, it's incalculable. It's 5,000 people. Well, let's do the math. 5,000 very competent men doing 17 hour days in the name of Tate. You, no, one's ever going to beat me. The internet is mine. I own it. You go on Tik TOK for 10 seconds. It's me.
talk. It's the same with Instagram reels. It's all mine. There's no competition. Nobody doesn't matter how big your ad spend is. Doesn't matter what marketing agency you go to. You will always lose to me for attorney until the day they finally put a bullet in my head. I own the world and I will continue to own the world. All of it is mine.
And anyone who thinks I get to the top and slow down is a fool because I do the absolute opposite.
I will crush all of my competition for head to toe. There isn't even any competition. There's nobody on my level.
And I'm still outworking all of them. Yeah. But when will you stop the work and take a step back? I don't want to.
No.
And that's my competitive advantage. I don't want to do that. - The enjoyment for you is the work, not the-- - Completely. Other people are like, "Oh, I'm here now, so I can now go on holiday." I can now, I don't want to stop working. I don't want a holiday. I don't wanna relax.
is this relaxing i'm gonna try and relax for the first time in my life we do this here on live in the podcast ready yeah ready
Thank you.
Thank you.
*Sigh*
Thank you.
Am I supposed to want to do that? What was that?
Is that it? Is that the dream? Is that the goal?
Like, and if I'm not on my phone, my brain is preoccupied and anxious about what's happening on my phone. So it's better to just be on it. Like, I don't want to relax. I don't want to stop. Ain't no rest for the weekend. No, I don't want to stop. That's why nobody will ever beat me because all these other people, they want to take time out. They're working to relax. They're working to relax or they want to go on a date with that. I will. I'm at the point now where I would look at a beautiful woman and go, I can go on a date with her and she's absolutely gorgeous and perhaps we'll fall in love and it'll be great. But you know what? I'd rather work.
I don't want to be off my phone. I don't want to date girls. I just want to conquer the earth. I don't care about anything else.
So that's why I'm always going to win.
I think that's a great note to end this. Last thing I'll say. Sure. Because I know that they're going to put clips on this.
And they're going to put one song. And that song is like your anthem. I know. Do you play that in the car, like pulling up anywhere? No. I don't know how that became my anthem. Someone on TikTok just did it.
um i'd love to meet i should meet the singer yeah and dealer that's what i was gonna say you know she's not your age difference is not a lot no she's my age yeah i don't know if she likes me or hates me she might love me she might hate me i don't know which one it is yeah she'd love you because you made your her songs viral but then if she likes your image she might be she might be inside of the matrix with her mind yeah you don't know make a tate special of that version yeah maybe i'd like to meet her one day but i don't know how that became my theme song someone started it and it just became my thing and you never listen to that on the car like no idea all right
Andrew, thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. I cannot appreciate this enough.
- Thank you. - You've come on the podcast, you've agreed. You've come alone by the way, which is insane. I thought you'd have a team of people around me. You drove up here alone in your own car. There's like five people in here that are all from my side. But you know you're Andrew, you know? - Yeah, that's right. - What's anyone gonna do to you? - It's interesting, it's because we're in Dubai. When I'm in London and I go to a podcast, there's six guys, security team, armored car. - I was expecting I'd have to sign five documents before I start, you would look through everything. Man just sat here, ask me whatever you want, he's like this.
Yeah, ask me anything you want. I'm ready. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, bro. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you, bro. Bye, brother. Thank you.
