So you could only--let me just be clear about the way this works. You could only resell it through the Ticketmaster ecosystem. Is that right?

You are forcing everybody who just wants to get this ticket on the resale market... to become your customer.

This is because the Justice Department says that your company repeatedly conditioned and threatened to condition Live Nation's provision of live concerts on a venue's purchase of Ticketmaster's ticketing services.

So let me just ask you about the transferability question. Why is it good for consumers to limit transferability?

I just worry about the effect on consumers and prices.

What it sounds like is a data industrial complex.

Ticketmaster-Live Nation is a monopolist whose conduct needs to be supervised.

Do you have any plans to restrict the resalability of digital tickets through third-party entities like StubHub or others?

It is not normal, is it, for antitrust consent decrees to get extended like this after violations are identified.

last night, the Senate took the important step of unanimously, on a bipartisan basis, passing legislation to ban TikTok on all Government devices. Now, this has been a longtime coming. I first introduced this piece of legislation almost 3…

in reserving the right to object, I ask for permission to hold up this shirt.

this is Jared Schmitz, Lance Corporal Schmitz, from the State of Missouri, Wentzville, MO. His father made this T-shirt and gave it to me just a couple of weeks ago, when I last had the chance to visit with him. Lance Corporal Schmitz was…

reserving the right to object, it has now been 16 months since President Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan; 16 months since Lance Corporal Schmitz from Missouri and 12 other marines lost their lives at Abbey Gate; 16 months…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. The Senator from Rhode Island.

today I honor a superb leader, liaison, and soldier. After 3 years of Active-Duty service with the Army Office of the Chief, Legislative Liaison, MAJ Patrick ``Ryan'' Alban is deservedly moving on and transitioning to the Army Reserve. On…

had there been a recorded vote, I would have voted no on the confirmations of Executive calendar No. 1188, Chrissie C. Latimore, of South Carolina, to be United States Marshal for the District of South Carolina for the term of four years…

if I could, just a brief word of thanks and commemoration for my friend, the senior Senator from Missouri, Roy Blunt. It has been an incredible privilege to get to serve with Senator Blunt these last 3\1/2\ years. In a sense, I don't know…

I think that this election was the funeral for the Republican Party, as we know it. The Republican Party is, as we have known it, is dead. And voters have made that clear.

I thought that the Obama Administration had that authority.

I thought that the Obama Administration has done a good job attempting to clarify it.

I have to say I find that disturbing, and as the Attorney General (AG) of Missouri I was one of the States that sued the Obama Administration and then continued that suit into the Trump administration in order to get that rule repealed…

I would hope, if you are confirmed, that you would be a check on these, frankly, sometimes illegal and unconstitutional actions.

But when we are talking about family farms and family ranchers, the costs of complying with these draconian regulations, that frankly I think are unauthorized by law, or case law, statutory law or case law, is truly crushing.

I have to tell you that the effect, the real-world effect on farmers and ranchers in the State of Missouri is little short of catastrophic, which is why you saw so many groups of farmers and ranchers--and I might just add, particularly…
