00:00Yeah, anybody who's it doesn't matter your politics. First of all, thank you, Mr. President,
00:05because this has happened at lightning speed. I know you put I want to make sure Alina Haba
00:10Alina Haba gets her credit, too, because I know she worked very hard on this. But thank
00:13you for making this happen so quick. Anyone who's bought a concert ticket in the last
00:16decade, maybe 20 years, no matter what your politics are, knows that it's a conundrum.
00:21You buy a ticket for 100 bucks. By the time you check out, it's 170. You don't know what
00:25you're in charge for. But more importantly, these bots, you know, they come in to get
00:28all the good tickets to your favorite shows you want to go to. And then they're relisted
00:33immediately for sometimes four or five hundred percent markup. And the artists don't see
00:38any of that money. And, you know, ultimately, I think this is a great first step. I would
00:43love down the road if there be some legislation that we could actually put a cap on the resale
00:47of tickets. And I'm a capitalist and a deregulation guy, but they've tried this in some places
00:52in Europe. And it seems to be the only thing that's us as artists be able to get the tickets
00:56into the hands of the fans at the prices we set. I'll be the first one to say, and
01:01I know the president doesn't like when I say this, but I'm a little overpaid right now.
01:05It's kind of ridiculous. I would rather be, you know, a hero to working class people and
01:10have them be able to come attend my shows and give them a fair ticket price. I can't
01:13control that right now. So hopefully this is a step to really be able to make that happen.
01:17I know a lot of artists and a lot of fans who love love concerts and music are going
01:21to be very appreciative. And I think Bob is more interested in the fans and the people
01:26that are happy to pay crazy prices than he is the artist. Maybe the artist a little bit,
01:32but the fans a lot. I've spoken to him over the years about it. And it's been it bothers
01:38him. It bothers a lot of other artists. The artists and they go out with a hundred dollar
01:43ticket and it sells for two thousand dollars the following night.
