We're just going to barrel through a bunch of news.

We should probably start with Ticketmaster, which we sort of left off with at an odd point, which is that Ticketmaster Live Nation had settled with the DOJ in its case about whether Ticketmaster Live Nation is a monopoly.

It's a fascinating, interesting case, but it looked like it might go away and then it didn't.

And it kept going because a bunch of state attorneys general decided to keep prosecuting this case.

And they won.

I like that you got attorneys general right on the first go.

I appreciate it.

Listen, I've been working with you a while.

This is what we do now.

Man, talk about people feeling helpless.

The Trump administration corruptly settling the most obvious antitrust lawsuit in the history of the world.

It's bad.

But yeah, it's true.

The state's kept it going.

And I think everyone knew what would happen.

Are you even really surprised they were found liable on two counts of being a monopoly?

Not a monopoly.

A legal monopoly, I should say.

There's still no remedies.

And the judge should still break them up.
