The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

And I got to say, it wasn't the best.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

I mean, I was flying JetBlue.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

But one thing that's happened, for example, is JetBlue provides free internet.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

So it used to be, and still is on some of the airlines, that they make you pay for the internet.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

And now it seems that more and more airliners are going to move toward the free model.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

Competition and more competition in this area leads to better results.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

Well, JetBlue was trying to buy Spirit.

The Ben Shapiro Show

They were trying to merge with Spirit.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

That was blocked by Democrats because Democrats have a theory.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

And that theory is if business gets bigger, that is inherently bad.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

So there are two theories of antitrust.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

Antitrust is the idea that you can't have a monopoly dominating a market because then it can set prices wherever it wants.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

So if you had a grocery store monopoly in your neighborhood, theoretically, they could set the price twice what it normally would be because you don't have any other choices.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

Now, true monopoly is incredibly rare in the market because if the prices tend to skyrocket, somebody else wants to get in on that action.

The Ben Shapiro Show

They open up a grocery store across the street.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

Typically, true monopoly requires government intervention on behalf of the monopoly.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

But there's a second theory of antitrust that is not about the consumer at all.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

The first theory of antitrust says you should only police people

The Ben Shapiro Show

for monopoly when the consumer is harmed.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2418 - BREAKING: Daily Wire Uncovers MASSIVE Fraud Scandal In Ohio!

And then there's a second theory of antitrust, the Democrat theory, which is if something is big, it is bad.
