Description

After the Trump Justice Department slinked away from a trial with an eleventh-hour settlement, a coalition of 39 state attorneys general scored a major victory in their antitrust case against Live Nation and TicketMaster. A federal jury found against the companies on every question of the 11-page verdict form. California Attorney General Rob Bonta called the result a "thrashing and a complete loss" for Ticketmaster and Live Nation, and he joins as a guest to describe what happens next.

Great news! Very important victory, especially at times like this, when Trump administration plan to dismantle Consumer Protection Bureau and...everything else. Congratulations, and THANK YOU to the coalition of 39 state attorneys general!

Only a dinosaur like myself remembers the days before Ticketmaster, when you could see multiple top acts for less than you pay today for a bottle of water.

Thank you, Mr. Klasfeld for the interview with AG Bonta. Thank you, AG Bonta and for the 39 state attorneys general victory in their antitrust case against Live Nation and TicketMaster. It's way past time for them to be held accountable.

Bless you, AG Banta, and all the other cooperating State Attorneys General. Bad on you, DOJ, for claiming credit where credit wasn't due.
