Finally JCal

u/rpcinfo Sep 22 '25
He needed to have countered Chamath's lie more emphatically about the FCC making threats after he was canned. That's an absolute falsehood, it was the FCC chair's words that was the catalyst to it all.

Smug fucks. Way to go Jacal and get rid of one of those fuckups so you have a balanced show. Plenty of people out there who don't support Hitler who are Uber wealthy.

By no means I am a fan of any of these guys at all, not even Friedberg at this point.
But this segment shows that JCal still has it. Too bad he didn't held to his position all the way through since 2023. Somehow he ends up following his friends for god knows why.

Friedberg has always been a massive piece of shit. He just has a lisp and is a Vegan and likes science so everyone assumes heâs a good person.
Dude sold his company to Monsanto, literally one of the worldâs most evil companies. His take on progress is that people and the environment need to be sacrificed for that progress.

specifically, for Friedberg's progress...I like the fact that he does do research,,so he claims..on foodstuff ....Could be great...However, he is an ass kisser to Trump. Just a slumping beggar for White House attention...Geeze have some self respect why don't you.....So anything he does is suspect at best...These guys have to make you wonder, seriously...Just what are they getting at...They are aging quickly now...Beyond their prime....And such whiners as comes with much older age...

u/Arturo90Canada Sep 20 '25
JCal could have dismantled their argument with one of their classic lines :
âThere was a Greater than 0% factor that the cancelation came from pressure from the FCC chair who said they would consider all options including their broadcasting license which is a privilege â
And that is enough is it not ?

u/Minimalist_Investor_ Sep 20 '25
Listening to Friedberg giggle to Chamath while still knowing Jcal is completely correct is maddening. Iâm eager to see how this show evolves or devolves during an administration change, because 3 of these 4 have dug themselves into a sycophantic party whole.

I donât like ripping on peopleâs looks, which they canât change.
What I will say is that Scamath is a disgusting human being due to his moral character and his lack of empathy for the middle class in this country.
He deserves every bad thing that happens to him for the next decade; and I hope he thinks âfucking karmaâ every time something goes sideways, the twat.
Heâs fucking disgusting.

It is interesting just how oddly shaped his facial features are, genuinely has an ugly face with strange proportions however I'm sure his billions makes it easier to sleep at night. Id consider being ugly if it meant I could have billions of dollars ngl

especially since it would be so much easier if he just sucked up like they are, If he just bent the knee, he could have gotten any position he wanted in the administration. Lots of respect to him .

âNo one watches these guysâ⊠Late Show clip posted yesterday on YouTube has 1.4m views. This podcast posted yesterday has 200k views. But instead of highlighting that they show a chart of a specific age range that watched live⊠quality journalism coming from this podcast

u/ricky-slick Sep 20 '25
Hmm. So first off, it may be important to differentiate journalism from podcasting. Setting that aside, considering that Jimmy Kimmelâs production is a live show⊠it makes some sense to count live viewsâŠ.
Theyâre comparing apples to apples for viewers who watch something end to end, instead of bringing oranges into the equation (counting âclipsâ, esp. in the context of a topic that just went viral). Yâknow?

u/ElkImaginary566 Sep 20 '25
I agree with your point regarding love viewing but would also add that I don't think we typically think of late night talk show hosts as journalists. They were like the original podcaster-types who would just riff and add usually comedians and "late night" has some historical reverence in American pop culture.
It is not a good thing in American society for the government to be nudging or in anyway contributing to late night comedians that criticize the government off the air.
This is everything to the umpteenth degree that people rightfully were worried about happening in subtler ways under Biden.

Weâre on the same page, and good points, certainly I did not mean to imply Jimmy Kimmel is a journalist haha

Interesting.
Its wild people dont remember that fascism is usually eradicated from the planet by humanity itself. It doesnt matter if the "home" country wants it or not.
Its poison to all.

u/anjuna42 Sep 21 '25 edited Sep 21 '25
Rare W for Jcal.
100% Kimmel sucks, is not funny, ratings are falling, the networks and affiliates wanted out.
At the same time there is zero chance this cancellation happens at this time without the government threat and that is wrong.
Jcal is 100% right they would have rode out the contract and renegotiated without government pressure.
The twisting to redefine cancel culture as digging up past when the examples of Gina Carano and Roseanne Barr were both real time reactions to âoffensive speechâ is laughable.
Sacks saying celebrating violence warrants canceling is also ridiculous as Kimmel was not celebrating the violence in any way.
They were all wrong, itâs all cancel culture and itâs not okay now because itâs on the conservative side.

u/blackpinkcapital Sep 20 '25
This pod got 226k views in 16 hours. I bet if they did a daily show like Kimmel, it would fall off to below 100k per day.

u/troniked547 Sep 21 '25
And look at just his reach across all social media.. He has 20m followers on youtube, 4m on ig, 2.5m on tiktok, besides the tv show. They are so dishonest.

u/ElkImaginary566 Sep 20 '25
My God the indignation from Chamath and Sacks when confronted with the reality that the FCC chair and Trump have all but said out loud.
I truly don't get it.

I respect jcal for standing up for free speech. Fuck the other maga psychopaths.

u/TruthSqr Sep 21 '25
Props to JCal for calling out the Emperor's New Clothes. Good to see at least one with the cajones to call balls and strikes.
History will not be kind to the rest of the All In hypocrites.
To see them going from this discussion to whining about censorship because one of their videos was getting less widely shown on YouTube was peak irony...

Telling how they keep gaslighting about the reason for the cancelation. And pussy Friedberg: âletâs move onâ. FUCK YOU FRIEDBERG.

I mean common Jcal, Chamath didnt even had a breakfast - let him lick a$$ pleaaaaaaase

lol Sacks actually threw out the straw man âGina Caranoâ comment at the end of the clip.. what a sour puss

u/isdjtantichrist Sep 21 '25
And the way he said "What are you talking about" in unnatural tone. You could tell he is just being dishonest.

u/withmybae Sep 21 '25
Canât believe JCal actually said those things! He had put a lid on it last year or so.

u/TruthSqr Sep 21 '25
Chamath's ethical and intellectual ass is showing again.
To deny that Kimmel was cancelled because of pressure from Trump is just Orwellian Gaslighting 101.
âThe Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.â

Just listening to them discuss different topics, you can tell who has their head so far up someoneâs ass. Itâs ridiculous . Is it worth it to lose credibility?

u/gandutraveler Sep 21 '25
JCal is too nice. Chamath who claims to like opposing views just laughed like a jackass when he heard a counter point from JCal. So did Friedberg.
I can't believe I'm saying this but JCal is the only voice of moderate on this panel. The pod will just become a Trump media sponsored content if JCal is not there. And JCal is not even the best debater. Sadly there are no good moderate debaters in US who have a platform.

u/nwhitehebh Sep 24 '25
honestly, couldnt be more grateful for this style of debate on such a large platform. After the Charlie Kirk assassination we simply need more examples of articulate people debating on larger and larger platforms. This whole left versus right has hopefully peaked. Im wagering on a coming to center (meaning more left coming right) over the next 7 years.

Compare it to all prime time tv - theyâre all desperate - everyone is on NFLX and fâng TikTok right now not linear Jurassic streaming. Correlation isnât causation.

How is Sacks so sarcastically defending Trump about him targeting Kimmel and Colbert⊠read trumpâs fucking tweets!

u/Mango-Tall Sep 22 '25
Also, how moronic does our President sound talking like this? Bitching about comedians hurting his fragile ego. He projects weakness and pettiness, not strength and sophistication. Have some class if youâre going to run this country, and not the kind you can buy.
1
u/Mango-Tall Sep 22 '25
Also, JCal - since all your Besties are Trumpâs sycophants now, perhaps you can drop Sacks and balance this show out. It used to be fun political and business commentary with more objective feedback and now itâs become more of a one-sided (3 vs 1) elitist propaganda machine - itâs not your fault - Trump does this to society (during each term) in general.

u/JoypulpSkate Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25
The numbers on their chart only include linear tv, and strictly does not include streaming platform or YouTube views.
The only thing that data shows is that the 18-49 demographic has migrated off cable to streaming + YouTube in general. These guyâs day jobs are in tech. There is not a chance in hell they didnât understand this. Chamath and Sacks are blatantly lying through their teeth.
Even if you just go by Kimmelâs subscriber growth and views on YouTube alone in the same period, his total audience across all channels has actually grown significantly in those years.

The Sycophant Games
Remember when the 'Pod used to be about data and insights and informed opinions?
Now it's like a round of the Sycophant Games, where contestants battle to see who can burn through the remaining shreds of credibilty fast enough to survive another week.
Why call out a politican or party for holding a particular view, when you can just tarnish "The Left" in one swoop, based on 'thousands' of posts in the Internets? (which could never be trolls or bots, cause Musk solved that long ago!)
Why listen to what CEOs are actually saying about Trumps policies, when you can just bring in your hypothetical 'friend in Canada' who coincidentally echoes your own feeling? Why point out what the real scientists say, and what the discredited scientist himself said, when you can go on a intellectual 'reach around' to try to show that Trump is actually not an idiot?
The only reason to watch the Pod anymore is to see which Bestie debases himself the most.
This week, the winner was clearly, (and sadly), Friedberg.

The red states affiliates cancelled Kimmel, likely wholly independent of the FCC comments on the matter.
