🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya, Yen Carry Trade, Recession odds grow, Buffett cash pile, Google ruled monopoly, Kamala picks Walz explores Yen Shock, Hidden Leverage, Buffett’s Pivot, Google Hit, Kamala Surges The episode opens with banter, then dives into how Japan’s tiny rate hike blew up the $20T yen carry trade, exposing extreme leverage and fragility in global markets. The besties argue that beneath headline data, the U.S. is already in or near a “low‑key” recession, masked by massive government spending and looming rate cuts. They dissect Buffett’s huge Apple sell‑down and record cash pile, tying it to China risk, regulation, and the broader question of debt, demographics, and constrained policy options. A landmark antitrust ruling against Google in search, plus deep political sparring on bias, and Kamala Harris’s VP pick Tim Walz round out a conversation about power—of central banks, big tech, media, and party machines.
