🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya, E18: Inauguration talk, breaking down the $1.9T stimulus, the case for recalling Gavin Newsom & more explores Post-Inauguration Politics, Big Tech Power, China, Stimulus, and Newsom Recall The hosts react to Biden’s inauguration as a national ‘sigh of relief’ while debating whether impeachment and expanded surveillance laws promote reconciliation or revenge. They examine Big Tech’s growing role as a speech gatekeeper, critiquing Facebook’s Oversight Board, de‑platforming decisions, and proposals to regulate platforms like common carriers. The conversation then shifts to China, espionage, TikTok, and reshoring manufacturing, before unpacking Biden’s $1.9T stimulus and its implications for inflation, inequality, and future infrastructure. They close by making the case for recalling California Governor Gavin Newsom over COVID mismanagement, taxes, and business climate, and joking about running for governor themselves.
