She's just like— she was just so— I like— I keep saying iconic, but, uh, really and truly, and could do it all— acting, Singing. She started an amusement park in, uh, where she grew up, or, uh, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. She's like a Hall of Fame, like every— like everything, you name it. Grammys, uh, uh, what's called the Country Music Hall of Fame, or like when I was in Nashville and I did all the tours. She's just everywhere. She's just— she's it. She's the thing. So, you know what's cool? She did live long enough. Beyoncé paid homage to her. Beyoncé did a country record a couple years ago and had Dolly on it, and she kind of got her flowers from like the younger— youngest generation. And that was kind of— that was kind of cool to see. Anyway, RIP Dolly. You know what else they're saying in the chat? They're saying, am I going to address the Live Nation settlement. Yeah, all right, I'll address it. I'm a shareholder, so I am pro Live Nation settling its issue with the government. Seems to happen every 3 or 4 years, somebody decides to sue them, and they always come out of it unscathed because in the end they are the best operator of concert venues in the world, and people really like the combination of the ticketing being connected to the venue. And sure, I love it. Oh, what's— what's— what's the alternative?
Josh Brown — The Compound and Friends · Bubble bursts in 2027, Nvidia earnings preview, Materials sector set-up, AirBnB takes flight · 2026-08-25I'm just excited we've got another chance for disruption here. I mean, we could create a startup that is just gonna put an AI on your board and there are no conflicts of interest and, you know, here we go, let's do it. Uh, no, you're right. I mean, like, it, it's weird for a number of reasons and it was, you know, when I first saw the headline, I, I would, it certainly piqued my interest cuz I wanted to know what it was that they were looking at, especially given, and we should back up just a real quick second. You know, Bloomberg reported that this has been going on for nearly a year. So this started under the Trump administration. The, you know, people who run Andreessen Horowitz are very friendly with the Trump administration, involved in the Trump administration in some ways, uh, sitting on some councils and things like that. And so, you know, for as much rhetoric as the Trump administration was sort of putting out there when it was still incoming, uh, to the second administration about being antitrust forward and, you know, sort of fighting against the big forces of consolidation or whatever, that really hasn't borne out. I mean, they settled with Live Nation. They didn't break up Ticketmaster. We could spend all day talking about how like that really was not— it was a pretty hollow promise. And so it's, it's weird in some sense. I mean, listen, the Justice Department should not be, you know, sort of a tool for the president to just direct at enemies or friends or whoever. Uh, but it's just interesting that this is, uh, a bridge they were willing to cross knowing how close they are with, uh, with this administration. And, you know, I've reported on some things that Andrews and Horowitz have done that, you know, made me wonder if that was going to be part of this. Like, you know, they're— 2 years ago I published a story about how, uh, you know Ben Horowitz was sort of like personally making connections between the startups that Andreessen Horowitz backs and like local police department in Las Vegas.
Sean O'Kane — Equity · The DOJ is investigating a16z. What does this mean for venture capital? · 2026-08-21I mean, I think that's a good question. Like, if this is really something that is such a concern, within the Antitrust Division of the DOJ, then, you know, maybe this is a way for them to sort of, uh, how do I best put it, like set the example that then those smaller firms would follow if that's what, you know, the goal is, right? Like instead of having to try to go after, you know, if you perceive this as a sort of antitrust violation, going after all these other smaller firms for doing something like this, you go after Andreessen Horowitz and you set the example, and then, you know, maybe that puts these other people, you know, at— in more of a wary, you know, cautious position. And so I could see that being the case. I think the other thing to think about here too is like this administration and the agencies that sort of, you know, work for it and next to it have really backed off on public company prosecution in very explicit ways. The SEC and the DOJ have both kind of said that, like, that sort of public company investigations and things like that are just not a priority. They would rather go after individuals. Obviously, we're talking about Andreessen Horowitz as a company here, um, but they, you know, it just makes me wonder if this is in some ways some sort of side effect of how the priorities have shifted, where if you're not going after corporate prosecutions, like, you know, you're backing off on guilty pleas that Boeing has entered. And again, like settling with Live Nation and really backing off some of those kind of Fortune 500 type companies, maybe one of the side effects is, is you wind up paying a bit more attention to stuff like this, uh, you know, in the meantime.
Sean O'Kane — Equity · The DOJ is investigating a16z. What does this mean for venture capital? · 2026-08-21Yeah, well, the foreign regulators that that Paramount likes to talk about are looking at this case from the perspective of their, their countries, their region. They're looking under at different laws in a different market, in a different geographic region. None of them have looked at the impact on the American economy, which is what we're looking at. Of course, the US DOJ presumably looked at this case, but we all have seen the, the stories about the career antitrust US Division attorneys who wanted to actually recommend that a case be brought here but were overridden by the Trump White House. And so, and we've seen how the Trump White House has gotten involved improperly, in my humble opinion, with respect to Ticketmaster, Live Nation, with a very weak settlement there. We continued to win on the trial and got a jury verdict. And NextStar, taking the case, they wanted that merger to go through. We've already blocked that merger. So we are the ones who've looked at this from a straight-up law and facts perspective in the American economy under American law, under Clayton Act Section 7, which applies here at antitrust law. It's been on the books for over a century, and it's just a straight-up meat and potatoes, black and white, bread and butter.
Rob Bonta — Squawk on the Street · 10AM Hour: Walmart CFO on Earnings, California AG on Paramount-Warner Brothers Discovery Deal & Meta Child Safety Trial 7/20/26 · 2026-08-20Yeah, you know, we do antitrust enforcement all the time. We do it when people are looking sometimes, most of the time when they're not looking. We had a Ticketmaster Live Nation case. We have NextStar, our tech member, bringing a case against Amazon. We've done this in the meatpacking and the concrete industry where no one's looking and no one cares. We protect the economy all the time. The fact that some people are focused on this is honestly, it's just random. Some people like it, some people don't like it. I don't care what people think. I care about the law.
