Amy Klobuchar

To me, like if you cannot go to anyone else, what are you going to do?

Do you think that Live Nation's concert promotion business, the fact that they are combined, has made it harder for you to compete for primary ticketing with Ticketmaster?

If you have tied up 80 percent of major concert venues with multiyear contracts, where is there room for one of your competitors to get in the door?

Senator Klobuchar's proposed Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act is a leading example.

This is clearly a bipartisan endeavor.

Over 30% of Americans said the number one reason they voted Democratic, including a whole bunch of Independents and moderate Republicans, was democracy.

They are a publisher. And let's just start facing the facts and stop pretending they're some little company in a garage. Maybe one day, they were. But now, they are mega companies.

Yes, because then in order to continue, they have to put safety measures in place.

It's only going to change if the people of this country say, 'This is enough. This is corrupt. You've got to do something. Put some rules in place when it comes to social media.'

So powerful that you literally can have a bill that got through the Judiciary Committee with strong bipartisan support, you can get promises from leaders that it's going to be a major end-of-year bill and then within 24 hours, it's gone…

As you know, Senator Blunt and I changed the law, so it was easier to make the call.

I want to thank Ranking Member Blunt for this productive final hearing and for all the work that he has done.

It includes joining with me to reform the outdated process of reporting and handling sexual harassment claims on Capitol Hill.

One of the things we also talked about in that last meeting that Senator Blunt and I attended was about the prosecution of these cases.

I am also grateful to you, Chief for your leadership, and the progress that you have made, and the openness that you have to take our ideas and listen to Members and work things out.

I think it is not--the question to ask is not, could anyone ever find it out, because obviously some sophisticated people could figure out where you live.

One of the things I mentioned earlier on that we are trying to work on is this bipartisan proposal, hopefully by the end of the year, to allow for the removal of Members' personal information from public websites.

I have gotten to see firsthand Chairman Blunt, former Chairman, now Ranking Member Blunt's deep respect for our Constitution, for the Senate, and our democracy.

Above all else, Senator Blunt's career here has been defined by service.

It is a part, I know, of Senator Blunt's job that he has always liked.

He has also been a great partner to me on many other issues, including we co-chaired the Travel and Tourism Caucus and passed Brand USA several times.

I know you know in that one of those goals is to confront the dramatic rise in threats targeting Members of Congress.

It was my privilege to see the officers and their families presented with the Congressional Gold Medal earlier this month.

Senator Blunt and I led the bill, and we are very excited that we have had the honor of the Congressional Gold Medal being bestowed upon the police.

It seems to me that our job here is to enforce the laws that we have, make sure that we are plugging holes where they exist.
