Yeah, I mean, the Tate thing is, I think, so fascinating. When the Tates were first under investigation for human trafficking a few years ago, it was striking to me how few ties they did have to the MAGA movement at the time. I mean, they were living in Britain and then Romania. They went to the Trump Hotel with kind of some right wing influencers. But other than that, they weren't huge figures.

It's only after, I mean, you would think that this would have been the fall of the human trafficking investigation, but they actually become stars since then. And so this idea that the US pressured Romania to let them travel, and then, you know, once they're here, and particularly, if they get on a plane to Dubai or something, I mean, they're going to escape justice.

I mean, they're also wanted in the UK. And so you have this interesting divide where I think kind of more your classic conservative types, Ron DeSantis, the Ben Shapiro crew, etc. They, I think, understandably do not think conservatives should embrace alleged human traffickers. People who are on video, I mean, it's not even an allegation.

I mean, they said all this stuff about sort of entrapping women into being cam operations and all this kind of stuff. Andrew Tate is wanted on rape charges in the U.K., And then you have kind of the more, you know, whatever will get me clicks or the more Trumpian types who are more than happy to host them on their podcasts. As you said, Dana White embraced them.

It was striking to me that not really a Trump figure, but someone from Vanderpump Rules also took pictures with them. And then he said, oh, my gosh, I didn't know who those guys were. You know, I denounced them. Mario Lopez did. Slater. Yeah, exactly. What's up, Slater?

It's really โ it's interesting also to have this kind of focus on Epstein and human trafficking. That's the worst thing you can do. But then also say, oh, come on in, Andrew Tate.
