MARK CUBAN HAS OFFERED TRUMP $10 MILLION TO SIT DOWN AND
DOING INTERVIEW, MANO A MANO, BILLIONAIRE VS.
I THINK
BILLIONAIRE.
THIS IS THE TWEET FROM MARK CUBAN --
THE GROUND RULES ARE THIS,
YOU CAN'T MENTION THE CLINTONS
OR DISCUSS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DETAILS OR FACTS OF YOUR
PLANS, AND NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM TO HELP.
AND THEN THIS
GRAPHIC --
THAT IS A NICE BURN BY MARK CUBAN.
THAT'S THE GUY DONALD TRUMP PRETENDS TO BE.
THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
HE KNOWS REAL BUSINESS, I THINK.
I WATCH SHARK TANK.
I WOULDN'T WANT A GUY LIKE MARK CUBAN TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
EITHER AND BE ABOUT TO WIN, BUT I WOULDN'T BE AFRAID.
I WOULD
KNOW MARK CUBAN -- I MEAN THIS LEGITIMATELY I THINK AS OPPOSED
TO A THING PEOPLE SAY ALL THE TIME -- MARK CUBAN WOULD
ACTUALLY SURROUND HIMSELF WITH SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN
THE WORLD.
HE GO GET THEM.
CARL ICAHN.
HE'S THE RIGHT KIND OF MILLIONAIRE EGO TEST.
I HAVE A
TEAM AND A TV SHOW AND I AM GOOD.
AND HE'S KIND OF ANNOYING
ON THE SIDELINES WITH THE MAVS, HE WEARS AFFLICTION T-SHIRTS AND
IT'S KIND OF ANNOYING, BUT HE'S A SWEET SEEMING GUY.
IT'S JUST
KIND OF ANNOYING.
I THOUGHT HE SAID SWEET SEMEN.
THAT WILL RUIN THIS VIDEO.
A SWEET SEMEN GUY.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW ABOUT MARK CUMIN FROM THE PUBLIC
RECORD, AND THE SMIDGE THAT I KNOW ABOUT HAVING MET HIM TWO
TIMES BARELY.
PUBLICLY -- LOOK, WE ALL KIND OF LIKE HIM BECAUSE
HE'S THE KIND OF GUY WE THINK WE WOULD BE, WE WOULD BUY A
BASKETBALL TEAM.
WE WOULD STILL WEAR T-SHIRTS, WE WOULD YELL AT THE REFS.
AND HE HAS A YACHT WITH A BASKETBALL COURT ON IT, AND ONE
OF THE JOBS THAT'S REALLY DESIRABLE FOR INTERNS IS TO
CHASE BASKETBALLS THAT FALL IN THE OCEAN.
I'M NOT KIDDING.
BECAUSE THEY GET TO MEET ALL THESE PEOPLE AND THEY MAKE
CONNECTIONS -- I KNOW IT SOUNDS UNBEARABLE.
BUT IF YOU'VE GOT $6
BILLION, MAYBE YOU SPEND IT THAT WAY.
I'D BE WILLING TO DO THAT NOW.
JIMMY, CAN YOU DO THE SHOW ON FRIDAY?
NO, I'M SORRY, THERE IS
A BASKETBALL LOOSE IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.
IT'S GOT MY NAME ON IT.
DO THEY TIE A ROPE AROUND YOU, YOU DIVE OFF THE SIDE?
THE LAST THING YOU SEE FROM JIMMY IS, WILSON, I'M SORRY!
ANYWAY, I BELIEVE, THIS IS ALL FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD, HE'S A
LITTLE BIT MORE LIBERTARIAN.
SO HE'S MORE CONSERVATIVE ON
ECONOMIC ISSUES, AS A BILLIONAIRE YOU WON'T BE
SURPRISED BY THAT, HE'S MUCH MORE SOCIALLY LIBERAL.
SO THAT'S
A STRATEGY THAT COULD WIN IN AMERICA, BUT PROBABLY IF YOU GOT
INTO THE NITTY-GRITTY WE WOULD DISAGREE WITH HIM ON SOME
ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES, I WANT TO KEEP IT REAL.
WHAT I DO KNOW
TINY BIT FROM KNOWING HIM IS THAT TRUMP USED TO CALL CUBAN
FAIRLY REGULARLY, SO THIS IS KIND OF INTERESTING THAT THEY
HAD -- IN THE BEGINNING, FROM WHAT I SAW ON TV, IT WAS KIND OF
LIKE IT'S AN INTERESTING CURIOSITY.
AND THEN IT WENT TO
LIKE, NO, WAIT, THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE.
YOU MEAN CUBAN ABOUT TRUMP?
RIGHT.
IN THE BEGINNING HE WAS NOT OVERLY CRITICAL, AND IN
FACT PRAISED SOME THINGS.
IF YOU ARE A BILLIONAIRE, THERE ARE ONLY LIKE SEVEN OTHER
PEOPLE WHO CAN IDENTIFY WITH YOUR PROBLEMS.
APPARENTLY TRUMP WOULD CALL HIM.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING
HAPPENED BETWEEN THE SCENES WITH THEM -- MORE LIKELY, CUBAN WAS
LIKE, THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD?
NO, I HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SPEAK OUT AND SAY DON'T GO
THERE, DON'T GO THERE.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I MIGHT WANT TAX CUTS, DON'T DO THAT.
BECAUSE RICH GUYS, REALLY RICH PEOPLE, AND MANY OF THEM ARE
REALLY RICH BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN CREATIVE AND THROUGH SORT
OF BOLD MOMENTS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP MADE THEIR
MONEY.
WHICH IS THE AMERICAN WAY.
BUT WHAT THE SMART ONES SEE
IN THE ECONOMY IS OBSTACLES TO GROWTH, AND OBSTACLES TO GETTING
THINGS DONE.
WE HIRE PEOPLE, THESE ARE GOOD JOBS, AND THEY
WILL ROLL THEIR EYES AND BE LIKE EVERYBODY JUST WANTS TO GET IN
THE WAY OF IT, ALL THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND DO-GOODERS
AND TREE HUGGERS ARE KEEPING US FROM PROGRESS, AND I DON'T WANT
TO DO ANYTHING BAD, I JUST WANT TO BUILD A BUILDING AND GIVE
PEOPLE JOBS.
THAT'S WHERE I THINK MARK CUBAN IS.
WHAT I
IMAGINE WHEN THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE SAYS WHEN YOU CUT
TAXES THIS MUCH IT WILL NEARLY BANKRUPT US, HE WOULD RECOGNIZE
THAT AS A FLAW AND REASSESS.
THE RESTAURANT DOESN'T CARE, KNOWS
BETTER.
I THINK THAT IS WHY CUBAN IS CALLING HIM OUT NOW, AND THAT
LITTLE "IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT THAT'S OKAY" IS A SLAP ACROSS
THE FACE.
BECAUSE CUBAN IS A SELF-MADE MAN, WE KNOW AS
LIBERALS NO ONE IS COMPLETELY SELF-MADE, A LOT OF PEOPLE
HELPED HIM, I HOPE HE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, VERY LIKELY HE
WOULD, BUT IT'S REAL IS A POST ABOUT TRUMP WHO GOT IT FROM HIS
DADDY AND HAS BEEN BUNDLING IT EVER SINCE.
I'VE BEEN FORCED TO
READ TRUMP'S ENTIRE HISTORY NOW, AND I KNOW THE COUNTLESS TIMES
HE GO BACK TO DADDY AND SAY I SCREWED UP ANOTHER BUILDING AND
HIS DAD WOULD HAVE TO GIVE HIM A 3.5 MILLION DOLLAR LOAN, OR IN
ONE CASE HE JUST WENT TO ATLANTIC CITY AND BOUGHT $3
MILLION WORTH OF CHIPS AND NEVER PLAYED SO TRUMP COULD KEEP IT,
WHICH IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL BY THE WAY, HE NEEDED $3 MILLION SO HIS
DAD SENT HIS LAWYER TO TAKE $3 MILLION OF CHIPS OUT OF ONE OF
TRUMP'S CASINOS AND PUT IT IN HIS BRIEFCASE AND DRIVE HOME.
SO
THAT'S THREE MAIN DOLLARS WHICH TRUMP GETS, WHICH YOU CAN'T DO.
WHY DOESN'T HE JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY?
I'D EVENTUALLY HAVE
LOST IT.
19?
HIT ME.
THE BANKRUPTCIES ARE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
OTHER
BILLIONAIRES KNOW HE'S NO BILLIONAIRE, NO BILLIONAIRE RUNS
A SCAM LIKE TRUMP UNIVERSITY, MARK CUBAN HAS BILLIONS, WHY
WOULD HE DO THAT TO PEOPLE?
THEY LOOK AT HIM AND THEY ARE LIKE,
WE THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING FUN, YOU GUYS ARE TAKING HIM
SERIOUSLY.
ARE YOU INSANE?
DON'T GO IN THAT DIRECTION, HE DOESN'T
KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING, HE'S TOTALLY INCOMPETENT.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD SKETCH IF SOMEONE WENT ON SHARK TANK
PITCHING TRUMP UNIVERSITY TO MARK CUBAN.
HE'S LIKE, YOU'RE
GOING TO DO WHAT?
THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS MODEL?
I'M NOT BUYING IT.
YOU WILL HAVE A CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF YOURSELF --
WILL YOU MEET THESE PEOPLE?
NO.
