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.

  • And automatic nudges tell them when it's time to get off their phone.

  • Sometimes the best way to think about safety is to not have to think about it at all.

  • Instagram teen accounts, nothing to turn on, safer from the start.

  • From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro.

  • This is The Daily.

  • Over the past decade, The Tate brothers have built a global empire around pornography, hyper-masculinity,

  • and overt misogyny, even as they were repeatedly accused of assaulting and trafficking women today.

  • A Times investigation has found that as their legal troubles mounted,

  • the Tates found powerful allies in the Trump family and the Trump administration.

  • My colleague, Megan Toohey, explains just how important those alliances became and why they're now starting to unravel.

  • Megan, welcome back to The Daily.

  • Happy to be here.

  • So about two weeks ago, there was this pretty remarkable scene that played out in Miami,

  • Florida, involving the Tate brothers, who you have been reporting on now for many months.
