Ronald Reagan Made the ORIGINAL Project 2025 | LINA KHAN Interview | Luke Thomas Gets Political
Former FTC chair Lina Khan breaks down the REAGAN‑era antitrust shift, Project 2025‑style planning, Ticketmaster/Live Nation junk fees, and META’s child‑safety claims in this candid clip with Luke Thomas. In plain English, Khan explains why the deregulatory revolution of the 1980s proved so durable: a deep bench, clear legal strategies, and years of groundwork that reshaped courts and agencies alike. She also addresses modern flashpoints—whether federal action can rein in Ticketmaster’s pricing tactics and if Meta’s new AI parental controls are real safeguards or just PR.We get into how regulatory “red tape” was rewritten, why rebuilding institutional expertise matters, and how detailed day‑one legal authorities—not slogans—decide who actually sets the rules. On tech, Khan outlines the tension between the AI arms race and child safety, and why serial, platform‑wide behavior should be judged by outcomes, not press releases. For live events, we discuss the junk‑fees crackdown, bots that hoard tickets, and the DOJ’s Live Nation case—plus what any of this might mean for your wallet at checkout.If you like straight talk about power, policy, and how it really gets implemented, you’ll get a lot from this segment.
