Warning: This episode contains strong language.

Over the past decade, the Tate brothers have built a global
empire around pornography, hypermasculinity and overt misogyny.
At the same time, they have been repeatedly accused of assaulting
and trafficking women.

A Times investigation found that as their legal troubles mounted,
the Tates found powerful allies in the Trump family and
administration.

Megan Twohey, who has been covering the story, explains just how
important those alliances became and why they are now starting to
unravel.

Guest: Megan Twohey, an investigative reporter
for The New York Times.

Background reading:

How a manosphere star accused of rape and trafficking was
freed last year.

The Tate brothers were arrested in Miami last month as the
British authorities filed new rape and trafficking charges.

The brothers, in federal custody, are seeing their powerful
backers go quiet.
