they're getting the get out of jail free card today. >> livenation, yes. >> look at livenation.ro, not that good. >> no. the names that i'm watching up also, back to the original conversation we had about potential consolidation, are a lot of the alternative asset managers, although i would say private equity is a small parking lot of so many of their businesses now. there will be more exits, perhaps, more deals for sure, but private credit is so important, and i don't know, jim, with rates moving higher, that's not necessarily the best thing. >> no, that's -- >> but apollo shares are up 10%. kkr is up 8%. blackstone, up a little less than 4%. but you do have big moves amongst the many of the alternative asset managers. >> need i remind you -- >> apollo beat yesterday on the earnings so maybe a little follow-through as well there. >> you did say there comes a time when private credit will be as -- so loved as time to switch into something else. i get the sense that you're debating that. >> it's -- listen, it's going to be with us forever. it's going to continue to grow in a sign

and this one trade, which is livenation.just this past may, the justice department brought an anti-trust suit against them alleging monopoly practices. live nation shares up 6.5% right now on possibly some of those types of things emerging there. so a big focus there, the anti-anti-trust trade. back over to you. >> dom, thank you. our next guest says there's another sector that could see deal making under the new administration. broadcast media. here with the names primed for a deal is steven. we've been hearing a lot of chatter about this one. before we dive into where you think this could happen, are we so sure this administration, with vance instead of pence, will be a green light for deal making to happen? >> the best that we have seen a trump administration for the fcc and broadcast regulation before from 2016 to 2020, and over that period, there was a bunch of deals that happened for the tv broadcasters. so based on that and republican control of the fcc, we're expecting another round of potential consolidation. >> our

final hours of the campaign that folks are really resisting this portal back to nara where we are liveninge? >> absolutely and again recognizing that the harris- walz ticket, we are the underdogs and we know that and that is why we are doing everything to earn the trust and confidence in the votes of as many people as possible in what i am experiencing on the ground is that for those people who are latebreaking in their decision, they are breaking to kamala harris and tim walz given the stakes that we just enumerated here, people do not want to go backwards. one of the stops we had during the congressional black caucus institute bus tour was in greensboro north carolina where we went to the civil rights museum there and we were very honored to touch the lunch counter that launched us into an incredible movement of the segregated lunch counters throughout the country thanks to these four brave young black men and it is such a reminder that we are on the precipice of going back again to jim crow and then some. and i do see, feel and hear on the ground that people understand that and they do

companies like ticketmaster, which is owned by livenation, control the market.ivenation manages more than 400 artists, controls about 60% of promotions at major concert venues across america. controls more than 265 concert venues in north america alone. and through ticket master, live nation controls about 80% or more of major concert venues' primary ticketing for concerts. that's not competitive. it's not a competitive market, mr. speaker. what are they doing with that pow her well, they're driving up prices with things like junk feese. they're making activities like concert, going to a game, out of reach for too many families. these are important events. games. competitions. my goodness, i'm from western pennsylvania. steelers game or pence game or a pirates game is a big deal for people. we love our teams. i'm not alone in that in this chamber. and fans are all paying for this. when these powerful companies cut exclusive deals that hurt venue, restrict other venue, that rip off performers, it hurts other people, it hurts the fans. this behavior seems to be mo

i can only maintain friendships with people who liven ality. i still have trump supporti friends and relatives that we must agree on that one fact. melvin is in richmond, virginia and is supporting vice president harris. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i am a person who generally does not deal with the opposition. i do not really have any family members who are not supportive of kamala harris. maybe one or two but we do not talk to that person. just because we feel it's just ridiculous. and in my environment, in my little circle of life, like social media friends. they know that i'm get a post what i like and if they challenge it i will just take them up my friends list. and of course my friends are mostly supporters of kamala harris and mr. walls. so you have to be staunch sometimes because we are living in a dangerous time if trump gets elected. you cannot have anybody poisoning your thoughts because it's too dangerous. host: i wonder do you think after the election you'll be able to restore some of those friendships and t

trump's even been trying to trot out old guest stars to liven things up, like werewolf and vampire enthusiasty who showed off a fake badge at a senate debate a few years ago. he introduced trump at a rally in georgia. and all he had to do at this rally really was tell people to vote for donald trump. >> you stop on tuesday when we get to the polls and we vote for my friend and your friend donald trump jr., donald trump, jonald j. trump. [ laughter ] >> seth: i mean, just for safey, i feel like walker should still wear his old helmet, even during speeches. [ laughter ] you can't get a concussion from talking. buh, don't underestimate him. but don't worry. it's not like trump is going to put walker in charge of, you know, anything important. >> we will build a missile defense shield. all made in the usa. wrapped around our country to defend ourselves and our country. it's all going to be made in the united states. a lot of it in your great state. we'll put herschel walker in charge of that little sucker, okay? >> seth: and when he heard that, walker said it would be an honor, jonald, i mean ron
