EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and David Friedberg, E36: New FTC Chair, breaking up big tech, government silent spying, Jon Stewart, wildfires & more explores All-In Podcast debates antitrust, surveillance, censorship, COVID, and climate risk This episode of the All-In Podcast centers on the confirmation of Lina Khan as FTC Chair and what her "hipster antitrust" approach could mean for breaking up Big Tech, platform monopolies, and startup innovation. The besties debate whether focusing beyond consumer prices to long‑term market structure and power concentration is wise or dangerously politicizing. They then examine secret DOJ subpoenas to Apple and gag orders as a civil-liberties threat, YouTube’s medical-misinformation enforcement versus emerging lab‑leak consensus, and the lingering psychological and policy hangover from COVID restrictions. The show closes with a deep dive on Western wildfire risk, climate, forest management economics, and how politics complicates rational responses.
