H-1B Shakeup, Kimmel Apology, Autism Causes, California Hate Speech Law

All right, everybody. Welcome back to the number one podcast in the world, the All-In Podcast. We're back, we're back. We got the original crew here. It's a tight foursome with me again. He's returned from, I believe, the UAE, uh, and MENA, the one, the only, your chairman, your dictator, Chamath Palihapitiya. He puts the dick in dictator. That's what they all say. How you doing?

Good. You?

Hmm. So you went and you got that... Wow, it's that beautiful airline that we all take to the region.

Emirates First Class? Yeah.

Oh, Emirates First Class Cabin.

It's- it's insane.

With the wine. Take everybody in 'cause I do business class for 14 dimes round trip.

Emirates is unbelievable. But the problem is, there's like literally a thousand movies. A thousand.

Yes.

So you have to like favorite out 30 or 40 of them. There was like 95 different menu choices. I had probably 8,000 calories.

Oh, really? And that was just the wine, I take it?

Yeah. By the way, the wine is incredible. The wine list, like 1996 Montrose. And I was like, "Are... Is this an air..." I had never seen an airline wine list. It was pretty strong. It was great.

Did you bring your sommelier, Josh? Was he in the cabin next to you (laughs) with his own-

I didn't need it. No, I didn't need it.

I like that, I like that. And of course, your sultan of science. We got a great docket for him. It's kind of like the Super Bowl for sultan fans this week-

Is it?

... because... Yeah.

I hope I deliver, bro. I mean, you're putting the pressure on now.

Well, Trump cured autism and you're gonna come. It's on us. This is a pretty big deal.

(laughs)

So I'm going all in.

It's a pretty big deal.

Let your winners ride. Rain Man, David Sachs. I'm going all in. And it's sad. We open source it to the fans and they've just gone crazy with it.

Love USH.

Queen of quinoa. I'm going all in.

And then of course, ah, the one, the only, he puts the bizarre in czar, David Sachs-

(laughs)

... calling in from his-

His sucker, his over czar.

You got that backwards. It's- it's you put the czar in bizarre, not the bizarre in czar.

(laughs)

Yeah, I kind of was... I'm playing with it. I'm work shopping it, so I've been trying both ways. Um, but yes, and, uh, you're calling in, you're echoing, which is great.

I'm on the road.

You're on the road between meetings? Well, what is it?

Yeah, basically. Exactly.

Are you in a, are you in a motorcade?

No, no.

Okay, listen. The topic of the week, H-1B visas are being overhauled. Trump administration announced a new $100,000 fee for all future H-1B applications. It's a one-time fee. There's been a little confusion about it, uh, in the details, but you know, that's how they, they do things in the 47th. Uh, just some excitement, a big announcement, and then we, we figure out the details. Lutnick originally said it would be 100,000 a year, but then the White House clarified it will be a one-time fee. This is a huge jump. The current fee is nothing. It's like two to five K that you pay to the government. You might pay a lawyer, you know, double that or triple that to, to do the work for you if you're a big corporation. Um, but, um, you know, this, this hits on a lot of the Trump campaign promises, tougher on immigration, looking out for US workers. We've talked before here about the abuse, uh, in the H-1B system. I'll give some of my personal, um, you know, insights in that after I- I, maybe I throw to you, Chamath. And before I do, they had an interesting polymarket. Will courts block Trump's 100K H-1B by September 30th? 3% chance of that happening. So it looks like everybody's kind of aligned with then, with this program. All right, Sachs. Uh, I know you're on the road, but your, your, your fans demand to hear your take on this. What, what's, what's your take?
