Daily Wire host Candace Owens dropped an explosive new trailer teasing an interview with the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate.
The trailer shows a sneak peek of the in-depth conversation between the pair, with topics including Tate’s past controversies and career endeavors, as well as social issues like pornography, abortion, transgenderism, and therapy culture. In the trailer, Owens pushes Tate to answer for some of his most objectionable moments, including his part in filming a pornographic video where he spanked a woman with a belt. At one point in the interview, Owens asks the former kickboxer what his life will look like in the next five years.
“Tomorrow,” Owens posted on Twitter on Thursday with the trailer. “Me x [Andrew Tate]”
Tomorrow.

Tate, 36, is an American-British viral internet personality with the nickname “Top G” who is known for his luxurious lifestyle and boasts over 7 million followers on Twitter. He became well-known after being removed from Britain’s “Big Brother,” a reality TV show, according to the BBC. Since then, he’s grown in popularity and has been criticized by many on both the Left and Right for holding to a brash form of manliness that neglects the traditional definitions of masculine virtue.
A topic likely to be discussed during the interview is Tate’s views on masculinity and the role of a man. As alluded to in the trailer, Tate refers to the hindrance that pornography is to men, something Tate took part in during his past through an adult webcam business.
“Pornography as a whole is simply just a tool which is used to ensure that the male populace stays as docile as possible,” Tate tells Owens during the interview. “Pornography is everywhere, and men are struggling with it, but to me, what’s even more upsetting is that these men don’t have enough fortitude and enough mental strength to wake up and say, ‘I’m better than that.’”
Another topic to be discussed during the interview is Tate’s current legal troubles.
In June, Tate made international headlines when he and his brother Tristan were indicted by a Romanian court on charges of rape, forming an organized crime ring to sexually exploit women, and human trafficking. Prosecutors allege Andrew and Tristan began operating a human trafficking ring in 2021, luring seven alleged victims into Romania.

They claim the accused used the “loverboy method,” which means they misled the women into thinking they were in an actual romantic relationship, NBC News reported. Prosecutors also allege Tate and the others coerced the women into taking part in pornography that was later shared on social media, the BBC notes.
The two were initially arrested — along with two alleged co-conspirators — in December and detained in jail until March when they were placed under house arrest.
Tate, his brother, and the two alleged co-conspirators deny all the allegations.
The interview with Andrew Tate will be released Friday on DailyWire+.
