#40: Andrew Tate. The Cult-Leader-Type Influencer Radicalizing Teens

This episode is marked explicit because of language contained in soundbites and quotes from Andrew Tate. I believe it’s absolutely necessary to hear the exact language to understand the totality of his dangerous message.  

Andrew Tate - or “Top-G” as his legions of fans call him - has also been called the "King of Toxic Masculinity” by those who are not as easily duped. Teachers know about him and his message because they deal with it daily from “radicalized” middle and high school boys. And many teen girls and grown women know him as the guy who tells their boyfriend, classmate or co-worker that it's okay to treat women as property, to slap them around or otherwise put them in their place.

You need to understand who he is, the message he’s spreading, and the vile and despicable things he’s been accused of doing so you can discuss it intelligently with your teens and tweens.

Get ready to be shocked and baffled by his meteoric rise to one of “the most Googled men on the planet” and the #1 influencer of teens in 2022, someone who’s managed to amass a fortune on the backs of trafficked women and adolescent males who willingly spread his message and increase his influence for money.
