If you did not watch the two-hour+ video of Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate [Rumble Link Here], you might not have the correct perspective for just how devastating this video is for the career of Tucker Carlson.
However, that said, this video is very useful in explaining something about Tucker Carlson that has been discussed, debated and argued on these pages for quite a while. First, watch the video. [6 minutes] WATCH:
https://youtu.be/tHAmpUyfyy4
.
Tucker flew all the way to Romania to interview Andrew Tate and present him as the victim of a horrible prosecution. Tucker went out on a limb to portray Tate as wrongly accused. When your entire brand is based on judgement and opinion, you cannot be as wrong as Tucker Carlson was in that portrayal of Tate. You just can’t.
Here’s the bigger issue….
This video shows something very important. Tucker Carlson is above average intelligence, above average communication skills, above average vocabulary, but Carlson also has ordinary and average judgement.
When your brand is established only on your judgement, and insightful opinion based on that judgement – and make no mistake the entire Carlson brand is completely organized around those two characteristics, you cannot afford to be this wrong.
With the evidence of that lacking judgement so clear, it then serves as a very specific and clear data point to reconciling other issues, like Tucker Carlson using the Twitter platform to showcase his Tucker Carlson Tonight broadcasts.
Readers here have long known my opinion of Twitter, and that analysis has equally applied to the current disposition of Elon Musk. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin as a result of the extremely unstable financial position of the social media enterprise. Twitter is a bottomless pit of costs, with almost no possibility of financial recovery without some major change in the business model.
The financial position of Twitter is the only prism that matters in the review of decisions that Elon Must is making about the platform. Free speech, liberty, safe opinion, the public square, all of it is less than the financial viability of the company. Every large or seemingly consequential decision on the platform is centered around the finances therein. Despite what might be the front face or intent of Mr Elon Musk, nothing else is more important, influential or determinative of his action.
Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.
Keep this reference point in mind as you weight the opinion and analysis provided by Tucker Carlson.
.
I watched 26 minutes of the full interview. Andrew Tate is a psychotic narcissist human trafficker
Tucker Carlson did no homework on Tate before he went to Romania to interview him??
Tucker Carlson has no views that align with mine…smoke and mirrors
I see they both belong to the “no socks club.”
Gee, didn’t the Bidens have dealings with Romania?
Tate went to Romania to run from prosecution in the United States. Romania needs to hold onto him at this point because the Biden Regime would just let him go
This is unhinged.
Sundance is wrong about this. If you don’t understand what Tate is referring to when he talks about the matrix you do not understand who our enemies are.
Stop with the matrix bullshi##.
Tate admits to being a pimp, and you’re applauding him. Wow
Maybe you should go listen to what Tate actually said when he admitted to being a pimp.
Yes by his definition he is , as well as myself and many others .
Just like a woman, make up complete bullshit and try to sell it as the truth. Tate never admits to being a pimp, and you show your ignorance by saying so.
Yes, he does!
“Just like a woman, make up complete bullshit and try to sell it as the truth.”
Easy call to see why you’re defending Andrew Tate. Another easy mystery solved!
No, you are unhinged.
Reminder to All: the men who established this republic were soldiers and warriors, and they had honor. And yes, there’s always ugliness and chaos and evil of a kind in war, and in revolution, and life.
But there is no excuse for this. Forget Tate, he’s not even in the game as far as I’m concerned. The real question is what was Tucker up to promoting him?
Your last sentence is a good one Laila
Ans? Maybe trying to expand his audience… maybe younger people. After all, he will eventually be self employed.
Never thought I’d see the day when Sundance would post a “Vice” hit piece as if was the absolute truth. You cannot get much more DS than Vice.
“The public persona Tate has chosen is one that openly, and vociferously, hates women. “You cannot be responsible for a dog if it doesn’t obey you, or a child if it doesn’t obey you, or a woman that doesn’t obey you,” he says in one podcast appearance in his now-infamous accent, a perplexing amalgam of a Midwestern twang and British English. In another, he mimics what he’d do if a woman carrying a machete accused him of cheating: “It’s bang out the machete, boom in her face, and then grip her up by the neck, ‘Shut up, bitch!’”
Wow, you trolls are hardcore today protecting sex trafficking demons like Tate, who loves OnlyFans, which is the how-to site to get your foot in the door for prostitution.
The sun is out, trolls…shouldn’t you be under your rocks right now?
They’re all men. Inadequate men. Who view women as chattel.
Ignore them. As I’m sure most women do already.
Boy, that’s really rich.
You’re exactly who you appear to be.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
The dems would put Tate in the White house if they could.
They’ve got a soft spot for islamic human traffickers.
From what I listened to of the interview, Tate was accused of human trafficking. I assumed it was sex trafficking, but no, he was accused of taking money from tik tokkers. In the interview, he lays out the case that he was falsely accused. That he’s targeted because he promotes masculinity. The mainstream media is anti men and also anti women. They promote feminine men and masculine women–anything else is toxic or transphobic. Tate is just someone who has common sense. I think it’s good that he was given an opportunity to tell his side of things.
You believe a man is strong and powerful when he beat women? Asking for a friend.
I just can’t trust any man who wears blazer and loafers WITHOUT SOCKS! Ugh! Sleazy!
You must have missed the preppy-look era.
Great minds think alike. Before reading this, (putting Gibbs Rule #18 into play….re posting guidelines…)…
Posting before reading the whole thread….
No ‘docksiders’ to complete the ‘yacht club’ image.
Not docksiders. Gucci loafers w/o socks…in summer… Northeast “cool”…
We must be living underground likr meerkats. Never heard of Andrew Tate.
I was thinking more along the lines of “Bass Weeguns.”
Weejuns. Not small firearms. 😂
Wasn’t it TOPsiders? Sperry Topsiders.
I dislike socks…and I’m very trustworthy
I was taught to notice people’s shoes and jewelry.
Those were some nice shoes and might have cost $1000?
The blazer? Maybe $10,000?
Both are probably custom made?
FYI: It’s summer and socks are too hot to wear in summer?
I had never seen Mr. Tate before the Tucker video. It seems a big mistake for Tucker to conduct the interview the way he did as it tosses away his credibility. Once tossed, it is hard to get back. I suspect we’ll hear from Tucker on why he did the interview this way. We’ll see.
It seems to me that Tucker Carlson was suckered in by a con man. Andrew Tate earned all of his wealth by means of one of his cons: to lure young women in so that he can make money from them. For those not exposed to that con, Tate puts on the persona of a manly man. This too is a con and Tucker Carlson was taken in by that one.
In the US today, men are treated very badly. Anything considered part of the “patriarchy” is marked for destruction. Both girls and boys are taught to despise the “patriarchy” while in school. I have seen this firsthand while lecturing a math club at a local high school. The teacher actively discouraged boys from careers in math while encouraging girls. I happened to mention that we need “everyone” who is interested in math to consider pursuing it. She insisted that I was wrong and that only girls are needed in math. I was astonished.
You really should bring this to the School Board’s attention. They should be helping every child reach their potential.
If you know nothing about Andrew Tate why would it damage Tucker to introduce him to you?
CTH the website in my opinion is all about looking behind the media curtain. Tate’s description of the Matrix fits that perfectly.
I understand that Tate is “Not our tribe.” I disagree with some things he says just like everyone else. But supporting the globalists persecution not knowing what is going on would be as foolish as thinking Desantis is Maga without Trump.
Sundance posted a 6 minute “Vice” hit piece as if is the absolute truth. Who does that with an strongly embedded DS mouth piece? I have far more of a problem with Sundance using “Vice” as his back up then the original interview.
Tucker Carlson probably does not think LOGICALLY.
It is an epidemic in the western Christian lands…
What is logical about helping the globalists silence someone like Tate? They did the same thing to Assange a we on the right supported that when it started.
We were wrong then and this is wrong now. Logic requires learning from our mistakes.
Please do not insult my intelligence by comparing a scumbag like Tate to an actual Freedom Fighter like Assange who had given up his whole life for the cause of Liberty.
By his own admission, Tate is a degenerate pimp.
I am astonished at the number of people rationalizing or worse, validating this human slug. It is even human, though…he’s not just my ‘tribe,’ he’s not my race. Asiatic and African. Part white, sure, but a genetic defective one. Pure psychopath. It’s not even interesting it’s just yuk.
Not likely. That is all I will say to that.
IMO Andrew Tate’s pretend “game face” is being a punk, a wanna be tough guy. Unfortunately, some women like this “bad boy” type. To me, when he interviews, he comes across as he is playing a role (not well). I don’t believe what he says on anything. As for the undercover videos, again, I want to see “chain of custody” and proof on no adulteration. I don’t know what is real, and what is ChatGPT. He will find out soon enough that Romania does not care about “constitutional rights” As for Tucker flying to Romania to interview this clown, he wasted time and resources. Tate fails to rank in the top 200 million things I care about (and that is being generous).
“Wannabe tough guy”? He’s a Champion kick boxer actually, more like a “proven tough guy” especially when compared to men who have never stepped into a ring and fought a professional fighter.
He is a thug. Very doubtful he could make it through Navy Seal training or USMC officer boot camp.
I had never heard of this Tate guy. After watching that 6-minute video, I’m sorry that I now have.
Tucker can be insightful, but he is also gullible.
This unthinking incurious attitude is how there are still people supporting McCain/Romney/Desantis.
Sundance is wrong here. This is the first time I have said that. You all are swallowing the media koolaid just like nevertrumpers do.
Go away, fraud. ‘Achilles’ is some hero you imagine yourself as, huh… Or are you some cryptic weakness of ours, in your demented mind.
90% of the people here see through your bullish*t.
Tucker is one of the greatest actors of our generation.
And you are one of only three people in the world who are all-wise and all-knowing (and perfect to boot!). Must be a terrible burden to bare being the arbiter of truth .
Perhaps the CIA got their money’s worth, perhaps.
I see this as Tucker trying to be the cool kid on the block. Huge error. Should have stayed away from Tate who isn’t relevant. Why would Tucker want to spend a moment with that dude?
I have seen Tucker say he made a mistake on this or that. It’s time to do that again. The first video is an eye opener. Not having Tate on my radar I had previously watch the whole interview elsewhere. Came away thinking that Tate was a horrible person skating a thin line of criminal. The shorter video, thanks SD, puts the hammer down on the subject.
Shame on Tucker. Disappointed in him again. Just like J6 videos.
I lived near Aspen and Vail for a few years. It was commonplace to see beautiful young women with old unattractive men. Or just unattractive men.
There was an exchange taking place. Everyone knew and understood it.
The woman wanted money/the rich lifestyle/ the stuff and a certain type of fame. The man wanted sex and the prestige/attention/envy of having a good looking woman on his arm.
No one was being manipulated.
I’m not talking about prostitution, just to clarify. I’m talking about young women having longer term relationships with much older men.
That said. The six minute video portrays Tate as a monster.
So I am not defending him.
Longer term relationships as in a weekend instead of an hour?
They do exactly the same thing to Trump that they are doing to Tate. They take the worst things someone said and put it on blast without context.
Don’t qualify your statement. The media is just grabbing you by the pussy.
Got Taqiyya?
You can keep it.
Tucker’s brand (for me) was the ability to ask the average-intelligence questions on a big platform, that his colleagues wouldn’t touch. Not some above average judgement or insight. Now that he’s off that platform, he lost his brand, he becomes another face in the independent media group, which was asking those questions long before he started doing it.
Tucker has been around for a while. He’s been at CNN, MSNBC, PBS, and Faux News.
Tucker is worth $30 million dollars, and Tate is worth 370 million.
I’m not too worried about those rich boys.
I mostly enjoyed the interview because Tate further highlights The Matrix that has enveloped society, of which, has imprisoned him.
I am fully aware that Tate is built upon ‘influencing’ which is a fake ‘industry’ and he is a narcissist, but he speaks his mind against men being eunuchs and that is important right now, especially for millennials he is reaching.
I guess my point is this: Tucker interviewing Sean Hannity(et al) is a waste of time.
The same argument can be made against interviewing Donald J Trump.
I did not know of Andrew Tate before this interview (save for a few passing references), but that the Left spends so much venom attacking him piques my interest. I will withhold my judgement till I see the evidence, or lack thereof.
OR you could do your own homework about Tucker and go to another site since you don’t like what you find here!
Sundance can explain the 19 new rules he created for speaking in the public town square.
It’s Sundance’s site. If you don’t like it here, go start your own site.
Tucker interviewed him because faux news wouldn’t let him.. rare swing and miss from CT. Then again I didn’t want to believe the criticism of DeSantis CT has been proven right .. so time will tell
I wouldn’t watch the interview because Tate is repulsive, but he is also necessary. As a Christian I believe his value system is evil, but he’s a product of the woke left, and thus in reaction to their evil he says some things that are accurate to the nature of God’s created reality. I’m not sure if you allow links here, but a great take on Tate is from Larry Alex Taunton:
As for Tucker, having not listened to it, I can’t speak to his judgment. At this point, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. The sockless thing, not so much.
Tucker is worth at least $550 million from just one trust fund. His mother was heiress to the largest cattle fortune in the country, split between the two brothers, also set to split the Swanson Food fortune from their stepmother. Dad is about as deep state as it gets.
I had never heard of this Tate guy until he came-up in my Gettr feed. The guy seems like a total loser waste of time in my opinion. I do not like guys such as Mr Tate who come across as sleazy and self important.
My guess is there was a reason Tucker flew to Romania and interviewed this guy. It probably had nothing to do with Tucker making the decision.
Like I have said before, I am taking the view everything is an operation until proven it is not.
Tucker is one big operation.
This. Where exactly he falls within that I don’t know, but it’s not good.
When Tucker was a young kid, he had that adorable sort of cutester Dennis the Menace smart-little-rascal imp look in his face. He liked to be funny, he liked attention and being, bascically, a brat. Impish is the word that comes to mind. Not vile or psychopathic.
He’s a ‘WASP.’ He’s fundamentally nice looking guy (when he was young). He’s trotted out by the CIA to basically manipulate America, particularly WASP/anglo-identifying americans. We think he’s cute by our innate natures. We (I’m a middle aged mostly anglocelt woman exactly TC’s age) want to pinch his adorable little cheek when he’s up to some mischief because, well, it’s just silly fun and he makes us giggle or whatever…
But Tucker is a grown man, now, and he should theoretically have the power to I guess be ‘good,’ or maybe just better. He’s a somewhat brilliant performer when all is said and done.
The team around him, though? Uh…
I knew a young man in the US military, the son of a 4 or 5 star general. He was raped as a 13 year old boy by one of his father’s friends. I don’t believe his father ever knew.
My point in sharing this story (there are a number of well known generals and the father was one of them) is that the CIA like the military is a messed up place, and don’t assume that the sons of these ‘captains of society’ (for lack of a better term) are not without burdens. Anyone ever see the Manchurian Candidate? It’s a bizarre movie, sure, but it’s closer to the reality than I think many want to consider.
TC is too happy and bratty and rich and comfortable and frankly, irresponsible, though, for allowing himself to be what he is.
He was born into it. I don’t judge him for it in an ultimate sense, I am not St. Peter at the Gate. I’m just a workaday average bourgeois american gal.
Mostly I don’t think a. that Tucker is fully in the know and b. that he cares anyway.
It is what it is.
They promoted Tate worldwide JUST before his arrest. There are no coincidences. They wanted you to see the Man and then see the Man arrested.
“Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.”
Sundance, I humbly offer up my long held gut-sense that it is worse than bad judgement. They are strawmen. Maybe two of the best our mortal enemies have to offer. My gut instincts are proving out and I hold that they are both willing participants.
I knew early on that Musk had been propped atop Tesla, Space-X and Twitter because I was fortunate to have spent a lifelong engineering career in those industries – working with leaders and engineers far brighter, deeper and capable than Musk. Musk is an empty shell.
I know little about the media/propaganda industry, but something always seemed amiss to me about Carlson, who took viewers right up to the truth but never let them swallow. The globalists’ propaganda machine always gave Carlson a long and barely visible leash, but he is too smart not to know who held the end of it and why.
Very interesting observations. When Tucker interviewed Musk at length, I came to the conclusion that both were fun to be with, but rather shallow–touching on deep subjects, but not with deep understanding.
Musk is definitely in hock to the Federal government, both in his auto and space industries. He can’t stray too far from his benefactors. Tucker? Hard to say. I don’t think he is really a populist, not MAGA; maybe having fun with titillating topics, but not going too far into them.
LOL. Come to Sundance’s website and call shame on him/her. THAT says more about you.
For some reason this article has brought forth a horde of Trolls.
They are Tate fanboys they respond like pot heads when anyone criticizes weed.
It’s annoying as they are unaware of their own her worship.
A couple of the most recent threads seem to have done that. Our treepers are intelligent and add to the conversation. But recently on a couple of Sundance’s articles, the comments don’t make sense, do not stay on point and all were names I didn’t recognize. It felt like an invasion.
Yup, someone(s) are trying to rig this. Not sure who all(s) it is, but evil is out in force today, isn’t it?
Ah, what a moron point of view. ANYBODY who has a difference of opinion is a “Troll.” Did your grand child teach you that?
Actually, I surmise that what makes a long time reader here think someone might be a troll is not that they have a difference of opinion but that they use ad hominem, smearing, outright name calling and just plain rude uncivil behavior. Those are the behaviors that tend to indicate a troll here.
I am a long time reader here and it is the long time readers who don’t like anyone dissenting from their opinion and uses ad hominem attacks. This site treats AT like the left treats DJT. Inexplicable to me. For what it’s worth, I have never trusted Tucker, but this interview is not the reason why. AT is being unfairly persecuted.
So, someone who simply disagrees is immediately a troll? Seems to me that lazy name-calling and labeling is a hallmark of the left. We hate it when they do it.
No one is perfect. Carlson has been right on issues far more important than this Tate person that I can overlook this one possible error of judgment.
This is for all the marbles – world control. Nothing at this level happens perchance. Nothing
“… COVID response was a disaster ..”
Who do you think had a good covid response? Considering the limited information available at the the time and the limited power he had to do anything about it, Trump’s response seems reasonable to me.
Trump should have recognized the chink in the armor as SOON as the Imperial College/Neil Ferguson model was walked back and deemed fraudulent. Remember Birx and her charts, basing the lockdown on that model? (Remember when Neil Ferguson was caught disobeying his own rules, weekending with his girlfriend?).
That was his moment to grab the reins and move the pieces around the chessboard. He had docs on staff (Paul Alexander for one) who knew what the story was, that early therapeutics were what worked. But he let them put him to work securing ventilators. Docs on the front lines knew ventilators were killing people in February. If I, a literal nobody, can search out and find that information – the CIC can’t find it?
I have no clue who this Andrew Tate is; never heard of him before recent comments on sites that I did not read. I appreciate all the comments to give me some background.
He’s is/was a big deal among younger men on social media. He was a successful kick boxer/ MMA dude. Made a ton of money at that. Then parlayed that into a internet career of giving “manly” advice to wimpy Millenial boys and others who wanted to be like him. He’s rich, and loud, and proud. Had a lot of exotic cars before the Romanian police confiscated them and put him under house arrest.. He may be a pimp. Or maybe sleazy womean who WANTED to sell their bodies online for money just happened to turn on him in order to make MORE money. We may never know. There are no innocent people in this story. He’s not a good guy, but that doesn’t automatically make him a bad guy. Immoral, yes. Illegal…. guess it depends on the country, the context, and how good his lawyers are.
Im only familiar with Andrew Tate through comments YTers have made about him and the press. I don’t think highly of these type of men, even when they are successful at their stated objective. Morally repugnant doesn’t begin to describe his recorded statements in podcasts, etc.
Curiously, Andrew Tate is a man the system chose to go after. Why? His messages against feminism or seeming antipathy to woke culture? Or is it because he shows the vulnerability of feminism in the age of “empowered sexual equality”. I believe Mr. Tate, he’d tell you whatever you want to hear to make himself wealthy. I believe Tucker Carlson when he says he wants to do the stories people don’t want talk about and he is always looking at what challenges the system or orthodoxy.
I haven’t watched the full Tucker interview of Andrew Tate and I don’t intend to waste my time. My feelings are that it’s the oldest (tragic) story, much like the oldest profession. If Tate is found guilty in a court of law, well, unfortunately the last 7 years have disabused me of notion that courts are fair, even if the verdict supports my moral judgment.
Never heard of Tate before, and couldn’t watch all 6 minutes.. He’s not a pimp, he’s a pig!
Trafficking is a crime and he should never see the light of day again.
Why Tucker would interview him and not be aware beforehand is beyond disappointing.
Trump has been charged with LOTS of “crimes” as well. That doesn’t mean any of it is TRUE. You’re making the assumption that because the Left or Romanian police or fill-in-the-blank says Tate is a fill-in-the-blank then is MUST be true! I am NOT defending Tate. I think he probably is a jerk and maybe a pig or worse. My point being: we can no longer believe ANYTHING we read in print or see on TV or the internet. We just CAN’T. Once you accept that reality you can move forward. I do trust Sundance but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be right 100% of the time.
99.9 maybe. : )
Tate is a worldly man and I wouldn’t want my sons emulating him, but just because “the news” shows us images of Romanian Police raiding his home or confiscating his exotic cars doesn’t mean SQUAT. We are probably being fed propoganda. Tate offends the Left’s sensibilities and I like that. It also makes him a target. As someone else here said already: the enemy of my enemy is my friend (in certain circumstances).
How ” devastating “ is this video for the career of Tucker Carlson?
None.
What Andrew did, does not interest me.
I watched the first video .
Thanks to Sundance I understand why he’s not a very likable person.
I have been ignoring Andrew Tate.
Posting the video will not hurt Sundance’s career and I’m sure Sundance will still stay on Twitter.
….
Andrew Tate primary source of income is from his brainchild, an online school called Hustler’s University 2.0. It involves various broad online courses that provide subscribers with lesson plans and blueprints to make money quickly.
Boasting an impressive net worth of $370 million, the world of digital media.
Tucker Carlson point:
Charged with human trafficking and forming an organized criminal group , It doesn’t make sense.
The interview was an interview. I do not see it as having a lot of impact at all on Tucker or for Tate. Interviewing controversial people is a job journalists do.
Agreed.
Freedom of speech. Marketplace of ideas.
The best ideas will rise to the top.
Give people as much information as possible and let them decide.
That is freedom and we are losing that. I applaud Tucker for interviewing Tate and Sundance for writing about it and supplying another video. Now I can do further research if I want.
Remember what Sundance says: there is no misinformation. There is only information you chose to believe and information you chose not to believe.
I hope I paraphrased you correctly, Sundance. If not, please correct me.
After watching the 6 minute video above and knowing Tucker gave this guy 2 yours to defend himself…Tucker needs give 2-hour interviews to some of women I saw in that video.
Their voices and that side of the Tate story needs to be heard by as many people as Tucker just gave to Andrew Tate.
At the end of the day…Tucker is still a rich ‘entertainer’ making more money. I remain neutral on him.
At the end of the day, I have been DIRECTLY CENSORED by Sundance. Not Tucker.
Tucker Carlson gets surveillance state type information from innocent citizens as part of the intelligence apparatus MO. I don’t know how exactly he gets it but common sense would suggest he’s part of the actual CIA given his family background and the intersection of big media and the CIA.
He is no innocent. He might be gullible in that he is an ‘asset’ of theirs and may be being used by them (not sure) but not without his permission.
Sorry, my reply to you was automatically censored. You should ask Sundance what it said. I was beautifully eloquent.
Wow.
Oh good, you got to read it!
No, I didn’t. ‘Wow’ just meant, that’s pretty messed up, the censorship.
And, yet, I just read your mouth vomit
What did he say? What was the gist?
Name calling, strawmen, ad hominem arguments, so what’s your IQ? The tools you use point to your wit and character. Did you ever get past 2nd year algebra? You do know that hardcore Feminist beliefs were/are 100% a DS money backed projects. DS money is going away, yet masculine women and feminine guys will stay for a while. But Tate is not even close to the cutting edge of trying to get males to be males again, as stronger voices are out there.
Women like HRC and Jane Fonda have been touted for being “strong women,” and DeSatan’s wife is the current example, and she did work for BlackRock and Vanguard both, and it’s said she’s much higher than her husband, and his “handler.” That’s the way the DS Big Clubs work, with the wife running the weak husbands, as their handlers. Many of these female handlers will be sent to tribunals, and tried for Treason.
Do you imagine that Tucker reads your remarks?
Are you sure this was bad for Tucker, Sundance?
I’m not so sure. Look at anyone (males especially) under 45. Most of the men agree with this guy.
In all honesty I don’t know who he is and I really don’t care. But read some of the comments on this post and other websites that have written articles about this interview. A lot of people think this guy Tate is getting a raw deal and being persecuted. Especially the younger crowd.
Tate reads the Koran for wisdom and his father was CIA….not warning bells enough for people? that being said, the old saying -the enemy of my enemy is my friend- may fit here.
I didn’t watch all of Tucker’s interview so I am not going to comment on much of anything but context.
I think there has been too much anti male, toxic masculinity etc. propaganda for decades, to the point you have young men looking at Tate as a role model.
I would not want anything to do with Tate, who reminds me somewhat of Michael Avenetti and his disregard for other people.
It is all about power over others.
Maybe Tucker is not who he presents himself to be. Fox provided him a forum to be brilliant, also remember there are producers and other production staff making his daily hour shine as bright as can be.
The flip side is that Tucker has been on the wrong side of things also. I truly feel he pandered to the masses to please and entertain an audience, after all he is an entertainer, and his hour event was all based on ratings and what his viewers reacted to.
I believe that Fox PERMITTED Tucker to air the Tony Bobulinski mini-series in October 2020, to cement their credibility in the viewers’ minds. Knowing they were going to call Arizona early.
I listened to most of the interview. What came out of this for me was 1) the talk of masculinity while having some positive points only covered less than 25% of what it means to be a man. No discussion of family, spirituality, morality, being a provider, etc. Tucker being a family man should know this and asked the basic question to a man that is 35 years old. I know people in Romania and their response to Tate is: ” He goes to the clubs, throws money around and treats women as slaves”. This fits into his self admitted recruiter / pimp role he portrays on his podcasts and or videos. Doing just a little digging which Tucker’s producers could have done; you find a lot more questions that should have been asked and more topics in regards to a man’s role in this world that were not even discussed. Look at his association with the cam girl industry and you understand why he is in Romania in the first place. Then add the Muslim element, then you understand a bit more of why he says what he does.
I watched and then forwarded the full, original TC interview (that CTH posted) to my two sons. I am disgusted by what I watched just now/six minute rebuttal video. Thank God I didn’t send the TC interview to my two daughters. This Tate guy is a sociopath and a criminal with no soul based on the six minute compilation that Sundance posted. TC is not the only screw up here. Sundance has some responsibility also. Has TC issued an apology? To his credit, Sundance has now shed light on this creep and the fact that CTH readers were mislead. I for one need a break from the Internet/online reading.
IIRC Tate was arrested shortly after disparaging St Greta Protector of the Climate. Funny that.
I watched the TC long video a few days ago and posted favorable comments here along with the link based upon what I saw in said video. I knew nothing of Andrew Tate other than what I saw in the TC interview.
Now I watch the 6 min compilation. It seems very likely Tate is psychopathic slime. I’m also disinclined to accept a cut and slash compilation at face value not knowing their motives. I have seen such things slamming other people I respect highly.
If I watched only the yellowstream media I would (like my sister-in law) think the worst of President Trump.
HOWEVER. I found nothing in the TC interview to fault.
The interview with TC brought out a lot of good points and if you are slamming it without seeing it then you don’t know what you are talking about. Tate playing a part? In light of 6 min video certainly.
Is Tate a manipulative psychopath?
As a highly skilled construction worker I would say yes.
Who was playing who?
HOWEVER I’m of the opinion this is a case of shoot the messenger but don’t shoot the message.
If I’m wrong tell me what from the TC interview you find wrong. If you can’t do that then I’m free to ignore you.

I don’t believe Tate is a good guy anymore than Putin is a good guy, but I don’t believe the media and their portrayal of these two men. Neither one is Lucifer in the flesh. Obama, Biden, or Fauci win in that contest.
If we’ve learned anything
over the past three years, it’s that the media LIES CONSTANTLY and is manipulated by Big Brother. I don’t know what is true regarding Tate.
There was a time when I couldn’t stand Donald Trump, because of his goofy hair, his tacky gold furniture, and the way he treated women. Now I love the guy. Tate has a similar personality of an Alpha Male type.
There might be more (or less) to Tate than we are being told.
I think Sundance may be right in that Carlson is exceptional in mamy areas, yet possibly just normal in judgment but I think he’s just trying to get an audience and clicks as he ventures out on his own and tries to build a new media news empire. I think it’s just clever marketing on his part to interview a social media cult figure who has a huge following.
Unless Tucker does something soon, I’m afraid he will reside in the dust bin of conservative history. Pretty soon people will have forgotten him and moved on. I believe he is naive as he was one of the last to realize we have no justice system anymore and the swamp dwellers are evil people.
I don’t think that any one interview will degrade, Tucker, long term.
What will do that is his partnership / dependence on the Twitter platform. Not very smart.
Notice he flips to Trump bashing on a non-Trump post. Andrew and his brother have long admitted to having made their money by pimping women.
Pimping anyone man, woman or children makes you filthy scum unfit to be with other humans.
And by “pimping” you mean getting grown ass adult women to do what you want them to do? Bwahahaha. Little girls need protecting from their own animal instincts, eh old girl?
I think the point was a reference to Sundance’s assertion that TC is very bright and gifted, but lacks judgement. And that the same point can be made about Trump. To be honest, I thought the same thing immediately.
I wish some of the people commenting here would delete “Tate” and insert “President Trump”.
Let’s see. Accused of sexual assault. This is an unproven allegation for BOTH men, yet people here who know nothing of the circumstances, are ready to believe allegations about Tate, but not about our President.
People are quite willing to let the Romanian Justice system decide the fate of Tate, when they know damn well the US Justice system is corrupt in regards to President Trump. Do they really believe corruption in Romania is not as bad as it is in America? Tate has not even been charged with a crime in Romania. Do they believe these sexual assault allegations could not be just trumped up charges to shut him up?
Tate will never get a fair trial because he is hated on the Left from Soros on down for his statements promoting strong men, yet many people here are lining up with these Leftists as they criticize someone who they have only heard speak on an edited 6 minute video.
Trump just admitted appointment mistakes two days ago. Trumps covid response; called for ending lockdowns after one month, encouraged alternate treatments to the vaccine, vaccine not mandatory and brought on Scott Atlas.
I had no idea who Andrew Tate is; I just looked it up. So, why should I care about him and why does Tucker Carlson think he is so important that he flew to Romania to interview him? Very strange and weird. And I am not going to listen to this interview but I appreciate SD’s analysis. Enough for me.
I saw this interview when it was first released… and honestly I found it boring; couldn’t believe he went all this way to interview him; got up and got on my exercise bike for fear of getting old and fat like bill barr.
then I noticed the loafers, and I remembered THAT is what my mom bought me for licking glue to make S&H green stamp books.
Loafers, penny loafers… only we put dimes in them so they were dime loafers.
now I am putting all this together and all I can think is a famous line from a famous movie from when I wore dime loafers.
“where all the white women?”
I stopped watching shortly after Tucker said something to the effect that Churchill in his own way was just as bad as Hitler.
I found virulent anti-Americanism and historical revisionism posted by Tate supporters in the comment section.
My husband and I listened to Tucker’s interview of Andrew Tate a few days ago. I had never heard of him, but my husband had. I appreciate learning from Sundance that Tate has a questionable background. But I admit I liked his message to young men…”Unhappy, then get in shape”…i.e. take care of your body. It’s not the only important message for young men, as I believe we have both body and soul to care for. But I live in leftist Dane Co, WI (near Madison) where I notice a preponderance of noodle-necked, skinny armed, stooped shouldered, castrati voiced men. Is it plastics or estrogen in the water or the effects of leftist values lived out on the personal level?
Wow. I was totally taken in. Too bad for Tucker.
It appears that Sundance & Liz Wheeler are on the ‘same page’.
In this 40-minute episode of “The Liz Wheeler Show”, Ms. Wheeler points out the many falsehoods (lies) told by Andrew Tate during his interview with Tucker Carlson:
“Andrew Tate’s Lies in Viral Tucker Carlson Interview Exposed”
Description: Andrew Tate’s interview with Tucker Carlson is the most-viewed interview of all time, topping Princess Diana, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and more.
After exposing a horrendous video demonstrating the toxicity and danger of Andrew Tate, he blocked Liz on Twitter as a flood of defenses came pouring in.
Today, Liz unveils and debunks the lies Andrew Tate told in his interview with Tucker, plus the lies he is telling men every single day.
Tate should never be an example of masculinity, and now we know why.
I am a faithful follower of this blog, and see the world almost exactly as you do. That said, I think you are dead wrong about Tucker (and Tate for that matter). Tate is getting rail-roaded by “woke” prosecutors. Mean old man taking advantage of adult wimmenz! I listened to the entire interview and agreed with most of what Tate said. He doesn’t simp to modern women. If that is a crime, I’m just as guilty. Are you saying that Tucker had terrible judgment for daring to interview a man who is universally despised by the left, and who is guilty as sin before a trial or verdict? If so, I’ma haveta re-think my opinion of you. What ELSE can you mean? And I guess you think that all the persecution of Trump is righteous and above=board too, as we all know that leftists would never dare to persecute their perceived opponents unjustly through Lawfare. God the naivete it must take to believe such a thing.
Just wondering about the tone of Tucker’s interview: Could Tucker have been aware of the reported negatives E.g seen above, about Tate’s history at the time of the interview?
Maybe as a condition of meeting with Tate, Tucker could not challenge him with the more inflammatory reports that could effect the case against him.
(I think Tucker is making a mistake aligning with Musk/ Twitter too.)
I watched an hour and half of original interview. It was interesting. Tate may be a terrible person to brag about his manipulation of women. (Kinda immature boy talk?)
As a female, I believe women need to get smart and not fall for tic toc, wanna be an actress type stuff. I get embarrassed for women sometime.
And men in general are treated so bad. Look at the doofus’ on commercials starting in the 90s!
Boys need manly role models to build their confidence and part of Tate’s message is that men should be proud of how God made them. Our boys need more manly male influencers. Tate may have taken that to extreme.
