"He was saying things about women that he was saying like what did he say that specifically got them triggered? He was basically saying misogyny. Look, he plays, part of it like a character and part of it, he is legit World Champion Kickboxer who is a hard man who doesn't buy any p**sy bullshit and that's what resonating with young people. "
Rogan added that while he doesn't believe in the ideas that Tate promotes, he does think that the world needs polarizing figures like him.
Revealing how his own kids know about Andrew Tate and love him because of his viral TikTok videos, the podcast host further continued:
"The worry is that he is going to the kids. The kids are going to listen to him because he is big on TikTok. My 12-year-old and 14-year-old asked me about Andrew Tate. I said, 'He's a legit world champion kickboxer and I like him, Why do you like him? I was asking them and they said he says a lot of funny stuff on Twitter and TikTok. It's the TikTok thing, it's the TikTok algorithm."
Explaining how Tate messed it up with the misogynistic claims, he added:
"He f*cked up with the misogynist because if he didn't do that, he just did the pro-male stuff, and you know pro-accountability and pro-discipline stuff, and you know he has this post he goes the way I think in the morning is how I feel has no bearing on what I do... He goes I get up, if I don't feel good, I still workout because I still go, I do everything I am supposed to do because that's how you get ahead in life."
Rogan further opined that the British-American offered some interesting commentary on other complex topics. He stated:
"If you just concentrate entirely on your feelings you’re never going to f*cking get anywhere and that’s true. That’s a good lesson for people to learn.”

Rise and downfall of Andrew Tate
Andrew Tate, one of the most popular online personalities, dominated the internet throughout Summer 2022 with his controversial take on multiple sensitive topics, especially regarding his views on women and their place in society.
Fears over the former Big Brother contestant's influence on the younger generation spread like wildfire, invoking outrage among most of his viewers.
Shortly after that, multiple social media platforms, including the likes of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and even TikTok, took decisive action against him and suspended his accounts. Soon after, Tate joined Rumble and gained immediate traction on the platform.
