“I’m not the world’s expert on your message,” Tucker Carlson told Andrew Tate about 25 minutes into their two-and-a-half-hour discussion posted on Twitter yesterday, “but I’ve seen a lot of it and it’s not explicitly political, actually.”
Tucker’s claim of ignorance about Tate’s message would come in very handy just a few minutes later.

For those of you who do not know, Tate is a social media personality who was arrested this past December on allegations of human trafficking. The beginning of Tucker’s interview with Tate is consumed with the arrest and charges, which Tate disputes, and this post will not touch on disputed facts. This post will only focus on what Tate has previously said.
In the interview, Tate tells Tucker that, “My message is traditional masculinity. My message is to stand up and say what you mean and mean what you say.” Nothing wrong with that by itself.
Tate then continues, “I was labeled a misogynist for the longest time just for saying men should have standards. If you tell a man he can have standards in a relationship in any way, you’re a misogynist … They’ve gendered the argument in a way I never did. I said as a man you shouldn’t have a girlfriend who is a liar and a cheater and you also shouldn’t have male friends who are liars and cheaters. You shouldn’t be around dishonest people male or female.”
Tate has said far more about women than that, and we’ll get to those statements in a second, but Tate then continued, “I said that men should have standards and you should have protocols that you are prepared to accept and you should have hard parameters and if a woman doesn’t want to adhere to those parameters that’s her decision and it’s her prerogative but you don’t have to stay with her. Why should you?”
Tucker then asked, “So are you arguing that it’s better to be with a virtuous woman?”
“I think so, yes I am Tucker,” Tate answered.
To which Tucker replied, “If you are arguing that it is really important for a man to find a good woman, a decent woman, an honest woman, that’s the truest thing that’s ever been said. That’s the most important thing any man can do. I mean, I can tell you first hand, I’ve been married 32 years. That’s the most important thing, and you think saying that angered people?”
“Absolutely,” Tate responded. “I’m arguing the only way to do that is via masculine excellence.”
But that is not Tate’s actual message at all.
Tate has been very clear he is very much against marriage and monogamy.
“I’d never get married, no. I don’t see the tactical advantage to getting married,” Tate said on a podcast just last year.
“If you are a high-enough status individual, then you get to get away with more,” Tate continued. “I have beautiful women who are in love with me and we’re all happy and smiling, every day I get to f*** whatever I want.”
I’m betting this is not how Tucker treats his wife or thinks American men should treat their wives.
“I don’t think one woman is capable of completing a man’s life,” Tate says in the same podcast. “I think you need a wife, and you need hoes. You need multiple women so they can f*** off and do women s*** … Women are the true currency of ballers. F*** money, it’s women.”
Does Tucker consider his wife “currency”?
Or, returning to some other of Tate’s comments about women, does Tucker agree that, “Females have no innate responsibility or honor,” or that, “Girls don’t like responsibility,” or that, “Women are intrinsically lazy”? Because these are all things Tate has said about women.
Tate doesn’t even respect Tucker’s faith. Here is what Tate thinks about Christianity:
Islam is the natural end state for anybody who truly believes in god. How can you believe in a god who is mocked? Christianity lol. God should be feared. You are either an atheist or a Muslim. One group is degenerate. One group lives true. Make your choice.
Does Tucker agree with Tate, that he is a degenerate because he believes Jesus died on the cross for the sins of humanity?
I get Tate’s appeal. Men do need to be physically strong and they need to master a skill so they can protect and provide for themselves and their family.

But Tate subscribes to a very non-Christian view of the world that views some people as lesser than others and therefore exploitable. It is how he treats the dozens of women who work for his camgirl empire, and it is how he treats the thousands of men these women take money from, of which Tate has previously admitted he gets a handsome cut.
Engage with Tate all you want, but don’t pretend he is something he’s not.
