About this episode
Andrew Tate built an empire based on the idea of female subjugation and hyper masculinity. His message to men, particularly young men, is that they are victims of a feminized society.
Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania in 2022, along with his brother Tristan, for human trafficking. He's also accused of sexual assaulting multiple women — and is facing investigations in Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Heidi Blake is an investigative reporter at the New Yorker and recently wrote a detailed and deeply reported story titled "Andrew Tate’s Empire of Abuse." She joins us to talk about how Andrew Tate built a business based on abuse, the charges he's facing, and Andrew Tate's influence on the MAGA movement.
