- The Department of Justice stopped Jetblue and Spirit from merging. Now they're coming for Apple, Google, and Ticketmaster.
The man behind it is Jonathan Kanter - head of the DOJ's Antitrust Division.
He's Wall Street's worst nightmare.

If corporate America hates him he must be doing something right.
Exactly my thinking as well. Anything that upsets corporate America is good for actual Americans, full stop.
What an elegant litmus test
Time to take them to the wall
Trump and the GOP hate that too. They want more for corporate America and less for the working man with the excuse that the other is socialism
@kdavidsmith1 I agree. Still, why is a man Biden hired against corporations?
Anyone that Jim Cramer dislkes is automatically a good person.
I find him annoying.
Absolutely.
Good people are too often the ones we choose to dislike in the west.. This one will have many hurdles to jump and attempts to discredit or get rid of him.
@@campbellpaul it’s adorable that you think this is a western problem
@@campbellpaul Cramer is an idot, its been documented that if follow his advice you will lose money. All he does is buy a stock then tells everyone else to buy that stock, stock price goes up from demand, he sells. Everyone who bought at the top is left holding the bag.
how to be a CEO: fleece your workforce, dodge your tax burden, and go attack democracy
And surprisingly, tho I'm sure it's coincidence the chairman's nephew is the only person who can do this so very hard job of CEO😊
I'm a CEO 😂.
I literally have my own theme music.guess what track plays when I walk into the be room.
@@Gfish17 highway to hell?
And then claim your business is a good corporate citizen.
There's actually an answer to all of this. We can decide on regulations, tariffs and unions together, not through the apparatus of the Republic, but through the apparatus of an alliance of consumers, which, plainly, I call a Consumer's Alliance.
We can operate as a collective boycott in this nation to keep wages high, prices low, regulations decent, and a union for every worker. We create a currency that we will refuse to exchange for others like the dollar, we have a direct democratic vote on who gets what, we can house the homeless and help the poor through slight inflation for a minimum income, all while punishing people who can work but refuse to. Top workers should make millions to, not just businessmen.
The myth is competition existing. Many industries are now "cartelized" and serve only to see prices increase not decrease.
Exactly. It's just a show for the masses, their priority is to maximize profits for one another and laugh all the way to the bank while people engage in yet more tribal or partisan behavior on their behalf. They basically can't lose.
Whether it does or doesn't, what they're doing isn't right.
And that’s why unions need to exist: they kind of “course correct” towards competition re-entering the market. It’s not “real” competition, but it functions similarly, as the workers tell the company that they ain’t workin unless they can feed their family tonight.
Even if it’s only in the job market, the products themselves are still fine if they’re still being bought, and so it wouldn’t matter. Jobs are good, nation is good. Otherwise, you’re just ASKING for major wealth inequality.
I think if anything, free market capitalism and unionization rights CAN and SHOULD go hand-in-hand. Unions are the natural cap/speed bump to any monopoly, allowing room for the little guy, and allowing the workers to live like human beings.
@@ClarkamadorianYes, and that is why corporations are working so hard to replace workers with robots.
@@peacefulpossum2438 yup. That’s why we should also have some kind of automation tax: if it’s not as profitable to have robots, the company may reconsider. There are moral implications, like “does a person own what a robot makes,” but I’m more concerned with the economic impacts personally. It’d allow more people jobs instead of robot jobs.
Unions also help, but if automation tax is implemented, going through the process of making a union for less robots taking jobs wouldn’t be as necessary, it’d help the workers.
Companies making their workers sign no compete agreements??!! That's outrageous!! Not only they won't give you a raise, but you also can't leave either to get a better paying job to use your skills in because of a document your employer made you sign!! More and more companies are treating their workers like commodities to exploit in their never-ending quest to maximize profits!!
Corporations are fast tracking a society where we own nothing while they own everything. Regulations need to stop all of this IMMEDIATELY
Because that's all employees actually are to most of them. They didn't used to have that kind of power, but this is what blanket deregulation gets you. People suddenly become commodities, and there's always someone out there willing to settle for less.
There should be a minimum salary threshold (at least $200k) for that to be enforceable and it also should include a payout of salary equal to the amount of time the noncompete is in effect or a charge a fee to buy out of it if another company tries to poach or hire that employee.
Where are all the "right to work" conservative assholes?
The only good thing I can say about Oklahoma is that those types of non-compete agreements are illegal here. The only kind that are enforceable are those that prevent back soliciting. i.e. I worked for your company to get it's client list then go to a competitor to offer the same goods to you customers, using what i learned working for you to my advantage.
What does this man need. Let’s get this man what he needs so that our needs will be met. Hopefully in my damn lifetime.
Republicans always cry about competition, but conglomerates do the opposite along with mergers (oh & the Rich). Support small businesses & workers
But Dems don't do anything about that either and LOVE a good merger that screws the middle class while upping their portfolio values. Corporations will say, "If we're bigger we can supply more & create lower prices" when in actuality it allows them to charge whatever they want because they have no competition - witness the price gouging going on at grocery stores right now and then look at how few owners of those stores there truly are. And our corrupt AF politicians on BOTH sides are investing in them due to inside information. They are literally insider trading with no repercussions!!! The only check they have is if WE pay attention and vote their asses out.
They're marketers, they never let facts or the truth get in the way of a persuasive narrative.
@@MMuraseofSandvich Even if that narrative is based, in whole or part, on lies.
They cry about a lot of things with one hand, and then feed the rich with the other behind their backs. There crying keeps there base voting against there own intrests.
Republicans are built to whine, they don't fix issues, they whine. They're literally blocking THEIR immigration bill because they don't wanna increase Biden's poll numbers.
These are the unelected bureaucrats the GOP complains about. The big government guys who watch out for the little guy. The unsung heroes of a true democracy.
Yep which is why the same US neocons worked 'for free' to drive a wedge between the UK and Europe.Deregulate.Divide.Devour.
When we fight for freedom,we should be clearer that it means freedom to live safe from the T-Rex not freedom for T-Rexs ;-)
They need to complain about their unelected orange king bossing them around.
They punish businesses for the crime of being successful. "Being for the little guy" is not justification for violating rights
@@maximemeis2867 So competition is bad? Inflation stemming from price gouging from monopolies is good?
@@PerryWagle competition is a result of freedom. That s it. If you don t think there s enough competition in a sector, feel free to enter it, compete and lower prices. But you have no right to demand competition and lower prices at gun point.
As a software engineer, these algorithms that predict the maximum cost companies can squeeze out of people make me sick. I understand making programs to help maximize profits but you'd have to make these algorithms with knowing what they do. Some heartless people out there.
Oh no, people wanting to get as much value for the value they provide in return. How terrible
@@maximemeis2867When you charge two different people two different prices for the exact same good simply because you CAN, then yes, it is horrible.
Here's the thing: we have no say. There's nothing the people can do within our current legal system to combat this. Water now costs $50 a gallon, what are you gonna do? Die of thirst? (Hypothetical example, good lord i hope nobodys dumb enough to think im saying water literally costs 50 bucks)
I will never understand empty suits believe that automating predatory tactics makes them compelling to the rest of us.
Most people don't have a choice but to tangentially support them. They own most things must Americans use, need, or eat. You have to be an extremely conscientious and informed consumer to avoid all of them, and for everyone one of those they lose they'll pick up 3 more just from being the only real option.
It's terrible, but that's just how enmeshed many of these conglomerates actually are.
And yet here we are on Google's CZcams.
@@RevShifty We have a word for that, it's called a monopoly.
They ain't appealing to us as consumers and peasants. They just need to make it compelling for "investors".
Because they couldn’t get the hot girl in high school so they spend the rest of their lives operating with an inferiority complex.
These are the same guys whos wifey is cheating on them because no amount of money will make up for their deep insecurity and psychosis
Greed is the one thing that is already ruining this world more than anything else
First time I've heard a public official call it "chokepoint capitalism". Very encouraging to here the brilliant economic analysis of Cory Doctorow's book "Chokepoint Capitalism" making it into the mainstream.
This is an eye opener! Why doesn’t the “news” present this!!??
Oh you know why
Democrats are the ones doing this bs behind the scenes n he’s the only one who’s clearly tired of wasting money like the rest of us…why would the rest wanna do that when they’re trying to go against a businessman like trump??
The same people that buy out politicians also buy the news.
Because the "news" is part of the problem.
The news media pretend to be on the side of the "oppressed," but we now know better. Social media, despite the pros & cons, are a threat to the one-sided "mainstream" media, controlled by the plutocrats.
Greed destroys everything but being a good person is very cost effective.
It’s overdue to call this overdue.
Bravo!
Holy crap it's LONG overdue. If you want another big pro-consumer court case, look up Robert "Skeeter" Salim and his BlueCross health insurance lawsuit.
This man fits into one of four categories of people I have discovered in my quest to understand Western Civilization better. He is one of the wary, the one who looks after the welfare of others before himself.
In my quest, I have discovered also the dangerous people who stand to discredit (or eliminate) him, which is why we should follow him and his work very closely.
Ralph Nader, Daniel Ellsberg, and very few others would fit into his category.
Just curious, what are the other three categories?
@@EbonySaints I call the first category simply "the dangerous ones"; they are predatory sociopaths who wish to take advantage of others for their utilities, designs or their money, and they will discard or eliminate them afterwards.
The second category are the ones directly targeted with lies and false promises, those who fall for the pitch and the false sincerity.
The third make up those who are uncategorized and unaware of what is going on, or have no art or money to give up as of yet, i.e. children.
It could be stated also that these four categories fit into every culture, but I'm not that worldly to state that is the case.
Gotta send this man a gift basket. Doing gods work.
Doing THE PEOPLE’S WORK!
Lets leave god out of it!
"They've never seen anything like this." That's only because the current corporate tycoons are too young to remember pre-Reaganomics, when these regulations used to be enforced!
Good to see we have watchdogs out there
No if only the alleged journalistic "watchdogs" weren't just docile lapdogs on a tight corporate leash!
Bring back innovation and competition! Break up the monopolies.
One sliver of good news in an ocean of misery.
Corporations are a blight on our society, health, and well being
Yes, under the current corporate laws. But the concept of corporations has actually been a benefit to western society. Creating business entities whose futures are not tied to any one individual, makes for continuity of serve.
The issue is greed. Most humans suffer from a bit of that inclination. For a time, religion did have some modulating effect on it, but as institutionalized religions allowed themselves to become greedy, that modulation evaporated.
We're almost at the point where we don't need lawmakers, as it is theoretically possible for direct citizen participation in the enactment of laws, if the public were politically educated. That "if" is the major stumbling block, as so many people don't want to be bothered to have to think about the big picture, thus "representative" government continues to exist. And it largely "represents" the corporate interests, not local constituents, in large part, due to gerrymandering.
If so, stop dealing with them. Nobody forces you to deal with them. Make the choice of only dealing with coops and tell us how much your life improves (it won't).
@@maximemeis2867 very bad faith moment. "You hate that this shirt is made by pieces of shit?! Then go shirtless muahahha"

This is fabulous coverage. Thank you for keeping us informed. I've been so mad at the DOJ for all they have been letting domestic terrorists get away with. Nice to know some departments are doing their job properly!
I've also often wondered how commodity trading is even legal. A few people have given themselves the power to buy vast quantities of materials we all need and use, using money they don't have , holding it hostage for a while and then re-selling it to us at a huge profit. Why the hell do we allow this?
Yeah, it seems like it shouldn't be legal
A middleman that controls prices? That doesn't sound like a free market at all. Why is their existence even being tolerated?
Like how subsidies, tarifs and bail out are tolerated in a free market? Because free market don't work and is propaganda for ultra poor nations to make them sell ressources at a super low price to corporations.
For the same reason congressmen can hold stocks. Because the rule of greed is to powerful.
Why are monopolies also tolerated? Maybe those mega dollar campaign contributions to politicians have something to do with it?
Because we're maintaining grassroots communities and buying directly from locals or producing things ourselves whenever possible.
@@avfeland Tell us that you work for Amazon without telling us you work for Amazon.

3:56 it’s not just that, it’s everyone who follows to increase their prices by keeping pace and not even reinvesting anything into the property. Not everyone who owns residential real estate is a business genius- mostly they seem to use Zillow or Craigslist to see what any other random property is renting for. Not all studios, 1/2/3 bedrooms are created equal- location, neighbors, amenities and every nitpicking surcharge built into 1 year leases that increase annually. Shelter should not be a capitalist opportunity, it’s a human right for survival and health. That’s how housing subsidies don’t help.
Google needs to be broken up!

Maybe hold off on the tattoo. You don't wanna do something you regreat later on down the line. It may seem like a good Idea, but then, a few months later, when you've forgotten you tattooed your back, you'll look in the mirror and see Retnak Nahtanoj and think to yourself "Which Star Wars character was this again?" lol
It's not the man exactly but what he stands for that is impressive, not everyone has the integrity or daring to do what he does. But it does take someone brave with vision. Take the things that make him great or perhaps his message.
But what can we do to help? Are there any movements we can volunteer for or join to support?
Call your local representatives. Tell them to speak out against monopolies
Vote for politicians that appoint and approve these types of people.
I voted for Porter and Adam Shit won. Money rules. We need to keep fighting and not give up.
Vote Democratic on all levels (judges is an important one)
Vote for Biden. Cuz you know Trump will install someone in this guy's job who's gonna undo all this progress.
Corps are worried someone might actually enforce the law?
Didn't we pay you to not let that happen?
I first realized the AI algorithm was silently haggling me on price when I shopped on Amazon. The longer I would scroll through products, it would eventually show me the same item at a lower cost, and longer, a lower cost, and longer, a lower cost, until it was one I'd pay.
Interesting, I'll have to try this. My only experience with changing prices is the occasional "flash deal" (or something like that) where the item goes on sale for about fifteen minutes with a countdown timer to try to pressure me into buying.
Yep. I've noticed it's the same exact item (descriptions are word for word) but a different & very weird company name.
Yeah, on eBay too. The big corporations like home Depot, office Depot, Walmart, target, etc the same thing. Don't share your location!
Same here. Gotta be SEO fuckery at work here!
The intermediaries are sucking, too much money out of the industry, especially healthcare, especially healthcare, especially healthcare.
For sure healthcare is a massive money sucking profit making scheme, with admin/overhead like 4x more than actual cost of care

You should cover the federal reserve and all their bank bailouts, BTFP, and how they are not enforcing adequate bank regulations like they are supposed to.

The rest of the world needs to know about this strategies because they are coming for us too
The airline industry has essentially done this for decades, directly and through more tech-savy third-party sellers that can increase prices drastically based on a measure of perceived urgency and other behavior related to making a purchase.
Beyond price, search engines and social media platforms arguably do this with their own biases and user history, controlling the flow of information to an extent, especially in segments that believe the first headline they read.
So long as data can give companies a competitive edge, good luck trying to curtail their use, especially if the data is publicly available or legally obtained. The first related battle was for consumer privacy and these unfair pricing practices are the casualty of having lost it.
If they hate our laws so much why don't these buisnesses leave?
What about power lusters like you stop violating their rights? What about if you hate businesses, you stop dealing with them.
@@maximemeis2867 sorry people have rights, show me where in the constitution a buisness has rights
@@crazy9932 businesses are people. The fact that people decide to put together resources and effort into a productive activity (a business) does not deprive them of their rights. Besides there s no such thing as the right to violate the property rights or the freedom of association of others.
@@maximemeis2867 nope no where in the constitution did it say a buisness has a right. Also owning a buisness isnt a right its a privlage
@@maximemeis2867 Businesses aren't people. They are hierarchical structures which require people to function and which are owned by a small group of people (who usually were born rich and thus can start big businesses) who get lots of money without doing an equivalent amount of work through taking that money from workers.
In this sense, capitalist system creates a middle age style division into rich nobles and poor peasants.
And, in the end, we see these rich people, modern age nobles, most born into high status and living by making high status hard to reach for others, actively use their influence and wealth to harm rights of poor people to preserve their status and keep getting richer faster.
Not a usa-only problem at all, mind you.
Usa just has some of the most shameless exercises of authoritarian power granted by money with lobbying being done to bleed people of their hard-earned money.
Why does usa still have this weird "we know how much money you have to pay in taxes, but you gotta count it yourself"? Because companies which profit off this lobby hard to prevent this from changing, harming the common person and violating democracy. Preventing a fix to the system, as it will be very unprofitable for them
So...theres this thing called price gouging, and its ILLEGAL. Surge pricing and the like should be illegal.
How have I never heard about this man and what his department has been up to?!
Because state run propaganda is rampant here in the US!! Media outlets are corporations and they need advertisers (also corporations) to keep their networks running - as opposed to independent media who relies on their viewers to buy memberships or subscribe and therefore report actual facts. The advertisers (again, corporations) like certain narratives and make sure media presents those narratives. In fact, the news actors get millions per year to lie to us. If those actors don't do as they are told they end up getting fired - like Cenk who now runs TYT but came from MSNBC or Mehdi Hasan who is starting his own thing after Israel had a fit over his reporting of the genocide in Gaza and he quit before getting fired from the same network. There are TONS of good independent media out there but lots of right wing funded ones too so be careful. Farron Balanced, The Damage Report, The Majority Report, The Ring of Fire (ROF), Thom Hartmann, Brian Tyler Cohen, Meidas Touch, etc. are all free on CZcams with paid memberships if you like and want to support them or super chats and donations either through their websites or Patreon.
Propaganda in the Media. Propaganda in Education. Anti-trust is a pivotal role in healthy capitalism, like unions...

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful man and his dedication to Americans, something that was once a given for civil service and government employees, trashed and robbed by corporate America. I love Jonathan Kanter; a true patriot almost impossible to find in the hidden haystack of a free market without competition. If that survives, we're done.
Great interview. Enlightening to know such people exist, working for the betterment of our nation as a whole.

Excellent work.
this absolutely awesome to see
I learned in my Microeconomics class what it's called when you can extract the most money possible out of every customer: a perfect monopoly.
you can thank Amazon for this approach being mainstream. Amazon didn't invent the idea, but they pioneered how to do it efficiently. Lots of companies followed Amazon and now we see this approach being applied every where. Dynamic pricing, surge pricing and lots of other cute business names for "how do we ream customers?"
Finally, the DOJ doing its job and helping the American people. He is actually preventing the stock market from crashing...hey rich people do you want a depression, you will if you have monopolies. We need competition it is econ 101.
I love this channel.
As much as I'd like to believe in this guy, he's basically fighting an uphill battle with the Martians from _War of the Worlds_ naked with an empty flintlock pistol and a rusty spoon.

Corporations love competition when it is workers competing for jobs or consumers competing for scarce goods. But, as Adam Smith noted in "Wealth of Nations", when two businessmen meet, they conspire to fix prices,
When corporate America merges, the consumer always looses. Competition keeps prices low. Look at medication prices as a prime example
You are not entitled to lower prices. Lower prices for consumers is not a valid justification for violating the rights of producers. Businesses have every right to merge. If you think their prices and profits are too high, feel free to enter their market and compete.

Unless the algorithms are going to be used to charge people on a sliding scale based on their individual ability to pay, the algorithms should be illegal.
The media are not independent. Our small city newspaper ran a story that the Chamber of Commerce felt was to well balanced (ha!) and most of them pulled advertising for three months. Rand Corp publishes a study stating that the massive productivity gains that were occurring between 1970 and 2017 and should have 'trickled down' to the employees actually 'trickled up' to the top ten % and to a tune of 47 trillion dollars. Media coverage, well we are waiting. If you research and do the math you find the cost of shipping goods or food by truck from San Diego to New York is (for fuel) less than 10 cents per pound(you check my math). And these high paid educated investigative reporters are not daring to mention it. And all those nice honest politicians working for you, not a mention but keep a distracting circus on the go.And economists say 'they raise the prices because they can and only for that reason" but they do not get 'air time'. Who mention it? Search for "James O'Brien meets Bernie Sanders" and also "Mark Blyth & Sven Steinmo: Austerity, Democracy, and Dictators" and see if you agree.
Really? Why was Luxottica allowed to consolidate so much power? Why is the military industrial complex allowed to rip off taxpayers? No audits. Food companies, lenders, Google, etc… less competition today. The housing market. Big pharma. Free market? Rigged market.
I am surprised they are working on this, but not seeing any lack of excess consolidation of corporations. Work more, its a mess.
