00:00:49.120You somehow get hired at this financial firm.
00:00:53.800And you were faking it until you make until you made it, you know, you were lying about your job, stealing clients, stealing money, whatever.
00:01:01.760And then there is this lawsuit. And, you know, I won't pass judgment.
00:01:07.000I mean, the courts have passed judgment on this, but I won't. I don't know enough about it.
00:01:11.880The problem is he did the exact same thing, not not to me or actually any movement that I'm an enthusiastic member.
00:01:21.560But he did the exact same thing to Nick Fuentes, and Nick Fuentes is applauding him for it, and I think that is actually a huge mistake, a huge mistake.
00:01:37.020now is it a mortal wound probably for nick that is probably not i wish this were a mortal wound
00:01:46.080figuratively speaking for james fishback but i'm afraid it won't be and he's gonna do some
00:01:53.420podcasting circuit but at some point it just gets old but yeah just to like recap my opinion
00:02:01.840of this person i really don't trust him due to the way he speaks the endless platitudes
00:02:12.180the drafting so to speak on things that other people have done who who the hell is james fishback
00:02:20.800no one knew about this character until nine months ago or maybe a year ago and yet he just
00:02:30.000sort of fronts using two metaphors here he front runs a movement the gripers nick fuentes like oh
00:02:39.040it's about me it's about me or the other metaphor i use is is drafting and car racing where you kind
00:02:44.540of get right behind it and use the aerodynamics to jump past it that's what he's doing he's
00:02:50.900he's allowed it though hasn't he he's allowed he's endorsed him yes he's i i don't i i think
00:02:57.000fuentes will survive this but he has allowed it and he has endorsed him uh secondly i i just
00:03:05.800am gonna have to go there but the phrase mystery meat comes to mind when i both look at this
00:03:14.540character and listen to this character so bro are you saying that he won't be allowed in hyperborea
00:03:21.940are you saying he won't ascend the underworld
00:03:26.020he'll be like some sort of like evil gatekeeper or like under a bridge
00:03:33.880frightens children look i'm just saying this okay dan blitzerian got 20 of the vote against randy
00:03:42.800fine the last time i checked so he proportionately outperformed fishback why is that is that because
00:03:50.620Dan Blitzerian campaigned hard? No, he didn't. He put up horrible AI slop, anti-Semitic slop videos and tweeted about stuff. But what is it? He has name recognition. He's famous. This is the secret of Donald Trump, the sort of open secret of Donald Trump. It's that he's a household name.
00:04:13.760Everyone knows him and loves him as a colorful figure from television and worldwide wrestling, not necessarily from business and real estate.
00:04:25.020And so, yeah, like if you're going to do a big campaign where you want to win, I'm sorry, don't choose the weirdest looking motherfucker on the planet as your torchbearer.
00:04:42.460Just saying, I mean, weirdest name, dude, the name it's fish.
00:05:09.780Now, he is articulate, again, a ton of platitudes, all this grab bag stuff, this self-righteousness. He, at one point, sanctified his campaign to Christ in the Catholic Church. I'm not even exaggerating.
00:05:25.180He had one OnlyFans, perhaps stripper, prostitute girlfriend who he introduced as his wife to on a podcast, and then she disappears and he gets married to someone who looks remarkably like her.
00:05:40.240And it just everything is fake and weird.
00:05:45.060And I don't think I'm alone in just having this guttural reaction to the same reaction that I have to a used car salesman.
00:06:51.260yeah i know i i mean i i he also gives me the willies too so i've never liked him uh but i
00:06:59.400don't i mean i guess i didn't i mean i guess the sort of logical reasons why i wouldn't like him
00:07:05.100is because he's he's one of these sort of christoid uh holy rollers uh but in terms of
00:07:10.420his personality yeah he just gives me the creeps he's kind of an oily type an oily guy the name
00:07:16.940is terrible as well i would agree fishy fish sticks um yeah but uh yeah but i think that
00:07:24.300if i had to guess why fuentes likes him is he he does seem like he's somewhat he does seem
00:07:30.460intelligent i think he's intelligent and he is a good speaker uh so i think he feels like he's
00:07:36.120sort of competent on some level he's a zoomer and i think that you know i i think that has a lot to
00:07:43.420do with it he had he's not run away from af and by af i don't mean america first according to
00:07:52.180caroline levitt i mean america first according to nick fuentes he's not run away from that
00:07:56.380but here's the thing so and and i said this before this earlier when we talked about this with you
00:08:04.660know chad champion and others and it's worth reiterating so donald trump in 2016 he did have
00:08:12.900some emotional appeals and some pragmatic appeals there's no doubt about it but he was also a screen
00:08:22.100he was just this celebrity that you know from the television or from the national inquirer
00:08:26.740from your youth and he was just sort of a screen that a lot of internet people would project upon
00:08:35.240and so it's like but from both sides it's like he's literally hitler yeah you're right he is
00:08:41.060literally or you know he's a libertarian he's anti-war he's a zionist he's just a hilarious
00:08:49.080troll and we should vote for him for the lulls i i he's a he's a christian savior he's christ
00:08:55.400himself he believes in family values i mean you could just project your hopes dreams and fears
00:09:03.040and fantasies onto him this is the difference because trump even to this day even when he's
00:09:11.060in diapers he's larger than life and he's just sort of bigger than everyone else just in grotesque
00:09:20.080ways and in even some dalliances with greatness he's just sort of bigger than everyone else
00:09:25.880The thing about Fishback is that he's smaller than everyone else. And the difference is, in 2016, Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, the alt-right, Christians, whatever, we all went to Trump and we're just like, yeah, libertarians did this too. You're our man. We're going to enclose you in our fantasies, basically.
00:09:51.760This is the difference. Fishback is smaller than Nick Fuentes by a very large margin. And the only reason that he has any audience at all is because he has grifted or grafted off Nick Fuentes.
00:10:09.860He's been that car that just rides behind it, draft him, and he is trying to surpass him.
00:10:16.260So it would be like Trump coming to Richard Spencer and being like, let me be a part of that, of your movement, the alt-right.
00:12:51.240Now, in terms of candidates, I would go back to what I've actually been saying for quite some time.
00:12:59.800I wrote an article about this, I believe it was in 2018.
00:13:02.540It's been a long time I have been saying this.
00:13:06.500An educational candidate could be cool.
00:13:11.080So what I mean by that is like Ron Paul 2008.
00:13:14.720There's no chance you're going to win.
00:13:16.580But you actually will blow some minds, teach people things, be bold and aggressive and even wild in a good way, not a bad way, and basically bring your message to the public square.
00:13:34.840Ron Paul brought the anti-war libertarian message to the public square in a way that no one else had.
00:13:44.400And that was ultimately successful for the movement.
00:13:49.480Now, and the other kind of candidate, there's the educational candidate.
00:13:54.440The other kind of candidate is just the realistic candidate.
00:13:57.160You just want to win or you want to maintain the system, Mitt Romney, Joe Biden, et cetera.
00:14:02.840Now, it seems like Fishback is this worst of all conceivable worlds in the sense that he's not teaching anyone anything.
