Who are the hosts of the All In Podcast?
All right, everybody, welcome back to the All In Podcast, or... incredible comedian, celebrity guest, got sick at the last minute today and didn't make it. We won't say who it is, but my Lord, when he comes on this show, you are going to laugh your ass off because he's awesome. I like the comedians.
I think that their takes on society and culture are pretty interesting, I think. Do you think it will work in our format?
What's your prediction here?
We've never done it. I think the quality of the show is best when it's less just people doing takes and it's more the back and forth banter. So yeah.
That's what I'm always trying to do is get the ball to go around the horn and get some real dialogue going here. But, you know, sometimes people feel passionate. With me again this week on the All In podcast, David Freiberg and Chamath Palihapitiya. My name is Jason Calacanis. You can follow me on x.com slash Jason. He's at Chamath and he's at Freiberg.
Why can't I make fun of you in the replies on Twitter anymore?
Oh, because it's a very good question.
Did you block my ability to reply to you?
No, what I did was, my replies were so many maga lunatics and crypto scams that I had no choice but to like, I had to do something because I would have like 500 replies to every single one. And I put it on subscription. And I said, if you want to reply, it's $3 a month now. 1,500 lunatics signed up.
I did. I did. So I control it.
Just so you control me. And I thank you for the $3 every month. It's all going to charity.
Do you want an intro to the show or get some warm-up banter about Jeopardy?
Why was the Epstein files release underwhelming?
Or do you want to go right into Epstein? The letter from Pam to Cash is crazy. Dear Director Patel,
Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents. Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the FBI field office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein. Despite my repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files. When you and I spoke yesterday, you were just as surprised as I was to learn this new information. By 8 a.m. tomorrow, February 28th, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, regardless of how such information was obtained.
There will be no withholding or limitations to my or your access. My question to you guys is, do you think that this is much ado about nothing and that the FBI needs to have the discretion to be able to say no? Or do you think this is one of these things where you're not allowed to do what they're doing?
It's above my pay grade. I don't know the law of FBI investigations. And then what if they investigated a bunch of people, they were not guilty, and then they were in the files? Maybe they need to... look at them before they do a document dump. Maybe there's informants in there. I'm trying to think of what happened with the whistleblower papers from... This says something different.
This doesn't say, let's negotiate what we should release together so that we protect people. This says, we're just going to lie to you and tell you that here's this protection.
That's her side to the story. Maybe they have another side. Maybe the FBI has a different side. We'd have to hear from them, right?
is this just like people are intrigued by the gossip angle of it or is it because they want to prosecute people for hurting people or is it because they want to cancel people and this is a nice opportunity to cancel like what's what's what's the this i think this is an interesting question because this thing's been going on for 20 years i think this actually has more to do with conspiracy there is and now the deep state like is there a deep state cover-up is the question i think the question is if
the chain of command requests something, are you allowed to withhold it? Because you decide in your own judgment that The person above you doesn't deserve to know it. I think that's an important question.
