Break up all the huge monopolies including big Tech
Particularly big Tech.
Agreed
I'm fine with breaking them up but not because they attempted to tell there payed for politicians what to do when the GOP made it clear that this was OK in court corporations are people too according to the GOP's past opinions.
@@jasont340 Mitt Romney said that. He is an idiot.
Have we all forgotten that it was 100% American taxpayer money that developed the internet in the first place. These companies were to 'manage' it. Maybe we should take it back.
This should be applied across the board to all pro sports and MSM and big tech
I AGREE!
And organized religion. The legion of pedophiles around the world is bad enough. But then you have the Osteen, Sharpton, Bakers and the likes. Scam artists, grifters, snake oil salesmen and activists.
Only baseball had the anti trust exemption.
Exactly my thoughts! I wasn't aware of such a privilege especially when they're placating to the CCP and the conflict of interest to intentionally manipulate to harm our country through self interests.
The anti-trust exemption is not available to all the other sports; only baseball has had it. That is the point. Baseball has always had a sweetheart deal. This exemption has been challenged in the past. There are good reasons to take it away, over and above the Georgia law.
Now you need to take away section 230 protections from big tech media.
Yep....tho I believe it WHEN that happens , again they run around the reel problem.....the tech
With MLB it's the start.. next change Big Tech
@OlSarge Paps You don't know what the hell you're talking about! Fox is now owned by Disney democrats.
@OlSarge Paps that's how uninformed you are. You been sucked into the other lying media. Hey guess what, all media is opinion talk shows pushing as facts. It's about ratings and money. And you aren't part of it we're economical slaves. So quite shilling for the elite and stand with the people. Cause both parties are corrupt.
If you remove section 230, the few companies that still allow comments on content will remove it. All the rest will start to have heavy censorship.
Whether we win or not...we should never stop fighting for what’s right!!! We are humans and not animals or poppets to be manipulated as such!!
Animals and poppets matter!
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND UA-cam also need to be removed from antitrust law. People should be allowed to sue them.
No it needs to be enforced!
None of them are immune from anti trust. Facts
Amen, Sister! Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of nationalizing misbehaving corporations. The government could step in, similarly to how they step in when banks, due usually to some questionable shenanigans, become undercapitalized. One morning you visit your bank only to find that it's closed but will re-open in a period of time after the problem has been rooted out, appropriate legal action has been taken, including criminal prosecution where there has been illegal activity, as certainly appears to be the case with Twitter, Facebook, Google, and UA-cam. They are each obviously shutting down certain viewpoints while allowing others. Perhaps, Messers Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Pichai, and Ms. Wojicki need to be shorn of their multi-million dollar salaries and lose the assets they've squirreled away, work on the 'Assembly Line' with the regular folks, for a while, just to remember how it feels to be discriminated against.
@@unclefweddy only problem there is that it would have to pass the house and Senate to change their protective status. TRUMP tried and their were too many Rhino's in the Senate and the NAZI DEMOCRACTS held the House. Best chance to make that happen would not be until 2022 if we take back both. And that will only happen if every state passes a voter reform bill to override the corrupt elitists law they passed to allow voter harvesting and MAIL-IN ballots.
They should be broken up.
Finally! Thank you to those who hear the people and speak for us! THANK YOU ALL!
Agreed! Why did this take so long? Now go after all the non profits funds and trusts that are funding politicians.
Might I add all forms of Religion hiding behind money and taxes. You collect money and donations like a business you pay all taxes on money earned
@@JR-lb4ng maybe you need to start watching Crowd Source the Truth and Jason and Charlie have been investigating this for a months so far.
You expect Politicians to remove money from themselves? Good luck with that
😂That was a good one 😂
I'm sure that's what slimy o'l Cruz is up to next. Cutting his loans 😂
Joe Biden's cancer research fund that gave no money to cancer research. Lined the pockets of his cronies.
"DO IT TO (EVERY & ALL) BIG CORPORATIONS THEN"....!!!!
Only the ones who play politics.
I agree. The government isn't a daycare. These multi-billion-dollar sports leagues and corporations need to be pulling their own weight.
This is a good thing for you to do. Its time to remove the status they now have.
Time to show all of them, We the people.
Show them what? You don't support the free market?
No, WE the People.
The bad news is since liberals rule all three branches, this legislation will go nowhere.
@G Bogart Do you include yourself in the ignorant group? If not, why put everyone besides yourself in that group?
This is the kind of stuff we need to be doing all the time. Time to go on the offense.
Power offense. Consistently. Right on
Yes, purge the fascists
Yup
@@bobbafett1849 And what makes Communism any better???
Amen!
Next should be term limits for Congress. One way to drain the swamp
I agree 100% drain the swamp. It's been too long dealing with these bums doing whatever they think people want and it's just the opposite
Love the way Cruz puts that he's not all about fairness right you let the people suffer freeze to death while he's out on an island with his family having a good time he's a despicable human being and you can't believe nothing he says.
@@timfeeser5598 obviously I'm from Bulgaria I know this problem is much before him in power
Term limits on congress should be their number one agenda .
Good idea but good luck 😏
Finally... Push back! God bless.
After MLB did this I stopped being a fan. I hope they loose billions.
@s that's sad, but what does that have to do with what I wrote?
About time. Others like them need to be held accountable, also.
Held accountable for voicing their opinion? Isnt this what conservatives been "fighting" against for years? But its ok if they do it?
accountable for what? what happened to all the right wing libertarians that loved the free market?
@@hater9008 Corporations are not people. They do not have political views, only the people working in them do.
A Corporation doesn't have a voice outside of the lobbyists hired to, lobby for the business.
Corporations do not have rights that a citizen has, since they are not living entities.
Yes, black ball them, sue them and bury these leftist corps !!
@@hater9008 They did more than voice their opinion. They didn't like what the Georgia governor decided so they picked up their marbles and went back to their sandbox.

@@pvs58 Corporations fund the Democrats too
AWESOME! Behind you all the way!!!
You need to break up fb, Twitter and Google too. They are doing the same thing and nobody is doing anything about it. It's hurting the American people.
Yes i agree and I'm shocked at some people and organizations that are Trump supporters and Republican that are still on. FB n Twitter we canceled last Sept and haven't missed it at all
You forgot Amazon!!!
Don't forget about youtube.
How exactly do you "break up" Facebook? Will some of my friends be moved to another app? Same with Google. If you break up Google into 5 different companies, most ppl will still use Google and then the other companies will die. I really don't think classical anti monopoly tactics will work with these tec companies. The only solution I see is to have freedom of speech laws applied on these type of companies.
Big Tech is operating on borrowed time.
How about term limits? How about holding those in office account for their actions???
Roger Dean. The Democrat's are scared to death of those 2 words called "Term Limits." As long as we don't have "Term Limits." The Democrats stay in complete Control and total Power.
McCarty Cruz Hawley are the worst men In the world
@@mattieallen712 , keep telling yourself that, in your little brainwashed CNN world you live in....
Anyone that fights for the truth, is hated by the left, time to wake up !!!
Roger Dean. I personally don't think we will ever see the day they will be held accountable but, If it does happen it would be really nice.
Because then you remove good politicians, too.
Let the Trust busting begin! ✔️

Second that!
SCREW YOU. THEY ARE GETTING BACK FOR REVENGE CAUSE THEY ARE WEAK. TYPICAL BIGOTRY
Oh yeah, like you’re ready to dismantle the whole republican party. Haha hahahaha haha. Thanks
So right. I want to know who else is getting our /my tax dollars
Politicians and Big Corporations should also play by the same rules as everyone else, why are they exempt from the law? 🤔 😠
@R S To piss off Athiests. Quit being a prick.
@R S Instead of paying the government tax money they can and do provide way more charity and services than they would pay in taxes.
@@md8354 if they were forced to open their books, then you might have a point, but they are not, so claims they do more charity or more pocketing are equally possible and not verifiable.
Exactly. They just said "only Democrats will get elected"if the vote bill passed. Only Republicans have been elected, broken rules (remember ACB), and gotten huge tax breaks from DJT. If others want equal treatment, oh my goodness, this is wrong! CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
@R S I think because the people have paid tax on that money and then the people donate to their churches to help the needy and build churches for the people to gather in
We need to stop ALL corporate subsidies period full stop!
Business must e as stand on their own no government monthly checks let them all die
Now it's just at MLB probly didn't pay them enough money under-the-table like all the other big corporations
Certain industries are in our best interest to keep running such as certain manufacturing like auto industry and farming. The former for defense and the latter for food security.
@@roots4x That's right Mike, and Baseball isn't in that league.
No! We need to end CORPORATISM! It is COMMUNISM disguised as CAPITALISM! Until we STOP using "Federal" Reserve Confetti, we will be slaves to the Private Rothschild Banking Cartel that ILLEGALLY took over our Treasury Department in 1913! A few months later World War One was started using the good credit and power of our DOLLAR! Ninety-Five percent of the value of that dollar has been stolen and taken to Europe through that Cartel. We have been robbed by English Bankers using a six pointed star! Wake up before they get the last Five percent!
Amen! Break up the power and influence of BIG Corporations that harm American small business.
Perfect my friend. Home Depot ! Wegmans all of it destroyed small business owners
DIRECT CLEAR TRUTH‼️
Then quit bailing out these companies at the cost of us WE THE PEOPLE !!!!!
We have to replace these old politicians of the swamp ASAP !!!!
The problem is people are voting in dummies who think its capitalism that's the problem.
@trollolol Haha okay
We tried and they just rigged the election. If we could physically stop paying them. Just knock em off the tit and don't let em back on it.
Start with the ReTrumplicans

@Young Goodman Brown I think you don’t clearly. When your party actively spreads disinformation and conspiracy theories do you expect not to face consequences from it? When corporations and even Sports leagues are calling you out on your bs you want to suddenly boycott them? It’s amazing how Republicans are dedicated to embarrassing themselves. You want to cancel the NBA, MLB, NFL, Nascar, Coke, Nike for speaking their minds yet Republicans claim they are being suppressed when they are the ones suppressing. Gtfoh.
I remember back in 60's they broke up Bell Telephone Corporation!!! anyone remember that and that was not 100 yrs ago

Action and growing a pair. Excellent to see these Senators put their minds together, and get businesses out of politics. Or if business wants to be woke/political , then they can go broke. So proud of you.
Republicans voted for business to be able to give unlimited campaign donations. Citizen's United, ever heard of it? And guess which party got the most corporate donations by far? Republicans again. So sure Republicans want their money, just don't want to be criticized for lying about voter fraud. There is no significant voter fraud!
Pvs58 just might be a Russian troll. I would bet they are paid by some communist Outreach.
The Trump effect.. bout time the Republicans flex a little
@@pvs58 and you seem to have missed the point. Political contibutions are not the same thing as the Delta CEO voicing his woke opinion on laws passed by a state, when it has nothing to do with his business. Or MLB moving the All Stars to Denver. MLB and Delta Airlines dont vote for politicians, the people do. And why speak out about it after it has passed. His woke input may have been more effective when it was still in bill form.
Don't get your hopes up. Mikie lee is garbage.

Very good and well awaited speech. Bottom line take from this, history repeats itself, know your history, and let history be your teacher. The same thing that happened to all these now broken monopolies, probably the most recent, Ma Bell, needs to also happen to these big corporate companies who are using their status in an unfair and in unethical ways that are degrading to fair and open competition. Not to mention they are protected so much as if law in order doesn't apply to them as it would a smaller company or individuals.
Yes history repeats itself, time for revolution to repeat!
One thing they obliviously not learning from history is to repeat itself and lose
if they really cared about monopolies they'd make sure you could choose your power company and not just have to take whoever owns EVERYTHING IN YOUR AREA. think on that. not everyone goes to ball games power company monopolies affect EVERYONE yet people like ted cruz continue to prop that sort of thing up.
@@onceuponadime978 That's why public utilities have their own set of laws. These are not monopolies because of a different set of regulations applied, such as mandatory public input (voting, in some cases) when raising rates or making other changes.

Thank you FORBES for letting my post go through and letting me post the truth . The people in America all need to know .
Good point!

Maybe the decision has to do with politicians thinking that they can decide who pays taxes and who don't and who can take big money and who can't maybe it's because you haven't done your job do your job protect the American people serve us not yourself.

They're in the pockets of the Oligarchs.
@@billlawrence4047 You are fully correct Bill.
Well, FINALLY....DOING something. Let’s make this the norm, and keep going!
Problem is it's A Dollar late and a day short and these companies know it. Actions have had almost no effect across sports links. Cotting all that mess is done nothing are so strong now and profitable. There's probably not a better investment in the country than owning a sports franchise
@@arthurfonzarelli9828It's never to late for action, but it is possible to give up to soon😉
@@michaelhuegel4146 I hear you but I wish there was something else we could do I'm not even sure what that is anymore. I do know if they were allowing full stadiums they would see the drop off. Problem is the TV ratings are so profitable for them as the NBA is about ready to sign another record deal and the NFL just did as well.
VERY NICE to see the beginning of fighting. the other side is ruthless, vindictive, greedy and ignorant. VERY DANGEROUS and its last call to fight. Thank you Cruz, Lee, and Hawley. Others will follow.
Trump lost, Cruz and Hawley tried to overthrow a duly- elected President with pure BS.
@@pvs58 lolol. I'm laughing AT you
This is a great way to prevent dealing with the real problems the Republican party is suffering from
It makes me wonder if the Democrats are paying them to do this
@@pvs58 YOU ARE A CLOWN!
@Caroline C OH so crafty with words. Intelligence about 400 levels higher than rhyming.
Make them pay for disrespecting half of the country!
Yep, I hate baseball anyway! Get woke go broke! They fked the people of Georgia based off of lies they read or watched in the fake news without reading the bill themselves. This was something they shouldn’t have stuck their two cents into any damn way that’s the state and the people of Georgia’s business. I hope they lose their asses!
“Half” lmao. 30% tops.
75% of the country
@@KH-lw5ze so you think 70% of America believes the MLB should be able to influence the election and cripple 1000s of business in the process, many of those being black owned?
@@freddavis5788 Georiga f cked us all.Allowing the election there to be a fraud, a lie, a cheat.
Get Woke Go Broke. Shareholders hold your CEO's accountable. Take away their golden paracutes (sp).
About time.....especially since they now are a political entity
This little child, thinks that a business is not allowed to voice their opinions. Yet he also voted in the very people in the supreme court that said corporations count as people and gave them the right to pour any amount of money into our elections. Your stupidity is truly sad child,.
@@buddduhh6291 you considering this a voice of opinion is the sad part
@@texaskippen Really you boys just cant stand freedom.. thats why your trying to take away the right to vote, thats why you let a president get away with more lies and crimes than the mafia, thats why you sad little boys are hyprocites ON LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING YOU STAND OR DONT STAND FOR.. You are a shame of America
@@buddduhh6291 go away little child..no one cares to hear your gibberish
@@grannylisa4208 No one cares, what you care to hear. CHild
Brilliant move! Glad to see there are still people in political positions whom have a backbone and work in the interest of the people. Respect!!
Real GOP who had to fight for their lives.
"Back bone" and "GOP" do not fit well in one sentence. Especialy if ted cruz is also involved.
A think Ted Cruz should run again for the presidency he speaks the truth with integrity!
@@craigmelrose6287 sarcasm out.
3:15 #SenTedCruz - #ForbesBreakingNews 💯✔🥂🍾#SenTedCruz say it as it is Halleluyah
Thank you for standing up for the people. And doing your job.
Thank you gentleman for hitting back next. Let’s go get big tech and big pharma !!!
Big corporate money had funded Republicans for years. These senators are running scared. Trump lost Georgia, period.
I’m done with the MLB. I’ve been done for awhile. Won’t spend another dime on stadiums, concessions, apparel. I will be going to college and triple games from now on.
Doesn't matter, no proof of voter fraud anywhere in the country. Apparently your source for truth is DJT. Too bad, you've bought into the mountain of lies about voter fraud.
I agreed with you
Your done because they had an opinion? Wow cancel culture at its peak in the Republican party!!!!! They have a right to move their all star game to another US STATE IF THEY DONT LIKE GEORGIA POLITICS. Georgia isn't innocent. They have a history of voter suppression.
@@__-mo3yo you’re warped
This is long overdue and should be applied to all organizations and their tax exempt status. How much do these companies, disguised as non profits, actually make? Billions and much of that is untaxed
I totally agree.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a good idea, but it is much more important to reign in the social media monopolies that are censoring opinions and information that they don't like. End their special 230 protection.
Hey that's Capitalism ...social media doesnt have to post anything THEY ARE PRIVATE COMPANIES ..its like you guys are a bunch of imbeciles
Has anyone noticed that the “reporters” questions have nothing to do with what they are there to discuss. They keep trying to pull them off topic so that they can draw out an answer they can publish other than the MLB wokeness they are trying to highlight.
Like when Cruz takes digs at other groups in the video? Using buzzwords to appease his own supporters that have nothing to do with anti trust laws?
The game is played on both sides.
@@jamesc7894 Details please?
Always!!!!
@Michael Brickner What they are passing has nothing to do with taxpayer money going to the MLB. They are proposing overruling a court decision that prevents the MLB from being considered a monopoly.
Of course, its the media, what are expecting. Media isnt 'news' anymore, it is story manipulation for attention. The more outlandish or non-factual to create unrest the better. I have removed all main street media apps from my devices and will not watch on TV or ant devices.
Great! Please make it happen!!
Stop the Reset....We need more of this now !!!!!!
*If you look at the very worst of our laws, most of them came from the Supreme Court exceeding their Constitutional Authorities, by legislating from the bench.*
how right you are like the Qualified immunity law! it needs to go
The Supreme Court failed and disrepected the founding fathers and all United States citizens past and presenta for not allowing time to re count the votes! Voter Fraud has ti be eliminated!
It will be a long tine that I watch baseball !
@@Adam-rv1ue You mean the fraud that state officials (both republican and democrat) across the country have flat-out said didn't happen? The only people claiming that there was fraud are Trump and his sycophants. Proof. Put up or shut up.
This is just a start, but we need to see more of this against other large corporations who decide they are the policy makers or who try to enforce these ridiculous narratives.
Exactly what meeds to be done.
This action amuses me. Stay Woke, go Broke!! These corporate entities need to be held accountable. Eye for an eye?
Republicans are the ones who receive the most corporate funding... it's sooo easy to gaslight people. Trump lost, stop pretending there was voter-fraud.
It’s sad because our kids won’t have the immense pleasure of attending a game with dad, rooting for his baseball hero, and digging in to the mustard-ketchup soaked hotdog with hot French fries. Today’s kids are on the losing end of an old tradition. Personally, I would not trade my happy-go-lucky childhood from the past for anything today. I am happier, clear-minded, and loving.
@@pvs58 Aww someone is butthurt
what happend?
More legislation to protect ppl from each other, grow up idiots lol
Congress has a lot of power indeed, the question is how they use it and what they defend is yet to be worked out, it is not matching what the people at large expects so badly, far from it. The swamp is as thick and deep as it can ever be. What is Important is not talked about, here we have another example, protecting the democratic process they say, really?
I am a Georgia native. I'm awful proud of these guys for this.
I am so sorry to see your state hit unfairly but I feel in time you will be able to build back stronger and better. Most of the country and world stands with you and has your back!
Me Too, I was born in Atlanta but raised in Cherokee County and the corruption in our state is beyond frustrating but I'm proud these fella's are taking the necessary steps to stop the fraud, lies and deceit
- That's ur own opinion my Brother . let take politics away from the whole thing . if u truthfully look at it Objectively there was a lot of Minority leaders and all the people in our community that sacrifices their lives in order that you me and your relatives can be able to exercise their God giving rights to VOTES which denied for 400 hundreds yrs .
I don't believe anyone in our community will have an iota of support to anyone , who's planning to take it away in any disguise .
Anyone who contribute a helping hands of support to defeat those republican governor and legislators in Georgia , deserved admirations .
How is voting like getting your ticket from will call
Thank you Georgia !!! You are fighting a great battle and those of us who love this country are grateful !
Am all for this action going forward. It's time !!!
Thank You,,MLB Is Also Regarded As A Corporation, 100% Agree,,,🙏🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You go guys! Speak for us the small people. We lost baseball now
Thank you for representing the American people!!! God Bless you all!!
Seamless common sense at work here. We need more of it. Thanks to these Senators for standing up for the average people who were ultimately hurt by the moving of the MLB All-Star game from Georgia to Colorado.
Why are the average people hurt? Can't they watch the game online?
They lost jobs and millions of dollars when mlb moved allstar game they can watch the game sure but cant work the game
Have TISSUES will TRAVEL
How were you hurt? And why do you blame the MLB and not the legislature that triggered this based on a completely verifiable lie about voter fraud?
Wonderful news. God Bless these Senators! It's about time but what about all the others, big tech, etc?
Cancun Cruz!
Now we will see the fall of big woke colorations
Baseball MLB just dug it’s own grave
It's About Time This Should have been Changed Years Ago.. These Players are No Better than everybody Else .
I think the players are all paid by Big corporations based on how well their performance can disract the ppl from the corruption going on in the nation from becomeing woke and rising up. It's like flouride & un-healthy food, keep the ppl dumbed down and docile.
This is just Repubs trying to get even about MLB moving the All Star game. With Cruz and Hawley involved it is nothing but being mean spirited.
It's not about the players, guys, it's about the cabal RUNNING the show, who collude behind closed doors to control players, umps, scheduling, playoffs & yes, OUTCOMES. The fact that the CCP wants a piece of the humongous $pie tells you all you need to know.
They are not going after players, they are going after the organization.
@@lesmowhomever174 exactly but they will not admit this. MLB has deep pockets.
Remove it from news media as well.
Thank you Senators !!!! You are finally gaining momentum !! Full speed ahead !!!
Unfortunately the GOP is in the minority in both House and Senate, so this will go nowhere. We need to take back the House and/or Senate in 2022.
This needs to be done more to big companies
