I'd like to understand how this case started off and how exactly we ended up with this ultimate ruling.

Because he's feeling what?

What is his interpretation of what they're saying to him?

And what happened with Billie Eilish specifically?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

But he didn't believe that.

It sounds like the Barclays CEO heard this and he connected it to that phone call he had had with Rapinoe that he had interpreted as a threat earlier.

Right, because they have the size to make these threats make good on them.

What is Live Nation arguing in its defense here?

Right.

They're arguing basically this is supply and demand, which sounds pretty reasonable, at least on the surface, right?

It does.

To me, those actions that you described, hiring Trump allies essentially, that indicates a company that's sort of nervous and trying to hedge its bets.

Is that the right way to read it?

Do we have any idea why the government settled at that moment?
