All right, everybody, welcome back to the number one podcast in the world. It's the All-In podcast. The original quartet is here, Bazaar, David Sacks. How are you doing, brother?
**David Sacks** (0:10)
I'm good.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:11)
You had a busy week, a lot of long posts from you on X. We'll get into it.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:16)
Great, a lot of what?
**Jason Calacanis** (0:18)
Long posting, a lot of long posts.
**David Sacks** (0:20)
I had like one long post.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:22)
Yeah, how's the carpal tunnel going over there?
**David Sacks** (0:24)
I had two long posts.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:25)
Yeah, that carpal tunnel flaring up.
**David Sacks** (0:27)
I got a third one teed up.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:30)
You got one in the chamber?
**David Sacks** (0:31)
I got one in the chamber but I was going to save it for the pod. It's a good one.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:34)
Oh, coming in hot.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (0:36)
I wonder who's going to get this bullet.
**Jason Calacanis** (0:57)
A cackling, of course, that's the dick in dictator.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:03)
It's my best teacher, mom.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:05)
Palihapitiya, how are you doing, brother? Getting ready for summer? Summer gilets have been laid on the bed. You're ready to pack it up?
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:13)
Opposite, I got a lot of travel, grinding.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:16)
Oh, I forgot, you're doing founder-led sales. So the summer of relaxation is over. Now he's in the CEO slot.
Got to get out there and do those enterprise sales. And of course, coming off a pretty hot week, comments section was on fire.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:34)
Very pro-Friedberg, very, very, very Friedberg.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:38)
Perhaps his greatest performance, also the first performance when he said more than three sentences. What's going on, Friedberg? You went off last episode and then I think you also with the long posts.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (1:50)
You know what's so funny? As the valuation of Ohalo ticks up, he gets more and more based. I love it. He is getting, welcome to the club.
Welcome to the club.
**Jason Calacanis** (1:59)
He's got trace, commas, based.
**David Friedberg** (2:02)
Unleash the beast.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:03)
When you're just a mere singleton, you just keep it to yourself and then all of a sudden, it starts to pick up and then you're like-
**Jason Calacanis** (2:08)
Nine-figure Friedberg. He's like, I got something to lose.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:12)
Wait for 10-figure Friedberg.
**Jason Calacanis** (2:13)
10-figure Friedberg is like, YOLO.
You also with the long posts. You and Nancy Pelosi making sweet-sweet-
**David Friedberg** (2:22)
Here's what's happening. Here's what's happening. Here's what's happening.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (2:25)
Let him go.
**David Friedberg** (2:28)
What is being formed in the United States right now is the Great American Politburo. Okay? The Great American Politburo has formed. The new oligarchs are taking their seats. Let them go. Go ahead. The Great American Politburo is being formed.
The new oligarchs are taking their seats. They're arranging the chairs. They're determining who will be chairman of the Politburo. Who will assign what work force to do what efforts for them.
Which $600 million stock trades their families will make to benefit and enrich themselves as they fly around in their private jets on the taxpayers money. We are watching it all before our very eyes as individual liberties are eroded. I am fired up about it. I see it happening.
**Jason Calacanis** (3:12)
You know, Sacks is on the show this week. You can't just take strays like that.
**Chamath Palihapitiya** (3:15)
Friedberg, expand on who the Politburo is.
**David Friedberg** (3:19)
So basically the Politburo is the leaders who elect themselves to dictate the flow of the economy, the allocation of capital, what work individuals are allowed to do and what activities they're allowed to do in an unfree society which is what they're creating. They are the true oligarchs and this is Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna.
This is the group that is trying to coalesce power and create for themselves a system whereby they have greater influence, greater control over aspects of the economy. They want to seize the means of production. They want to control education. They want to control media and any time there's an effort by an individual enterprise or an individual themselves to go out and build a business and succeed and do something that's outside of their scope and their span of control, they lose their minds over it. And that's what we're seeing. So I react to their tweeting and their bullsh** where they're basically trying to contort things about inequality and fairness and justice when the truth is they are the rising empire, the evil empire in Star Wars. They are the folks who want to take from all of us what we were endowed with when this nation was started and what many people came to this country for, which is individual freedom and liberty, the ability to build a business in peace, the ability to make decisions, to do what you want with your own assets and to have functionally private property. And they're taking it all away and they're trying to take it all away. They're watching piece by piece, step by step. So they are forming a Pollock borough where they can effectively control the economy, control education, control the media and tell us all what we can and can't do and say. And it's frustrating to me to watch it because it's masqueraded as bullshit virtue, as justice, as equity. It's a bunch of nonsense words that they use to try and make themselves seem virtuous when in the end of the day, they are fundamentally evil and I hate watching it. So that's why I react so aggressively to it.
