I’d love to vote on policies instead of people. Politicians have become political performance artists repeating what they see on Twitter. I can’t take them seriously.
I appreciate how Mr. Cuban is making the effort to redirect his wealth of knowledge to “repairing” the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of our national healthcare system for the benefit of the nation’s health. Gratitude.
Being that the entire structure of government is controlled by two parties: from local, to state, and federal. You would have to convince the two-party system to get rid of the two-party system.
If a publicly traded company opts to outsource overseas to reduce expenses, it should begin by outsourcing the CEO position. By saving millions in this manner, the company can maintain the employment of numerous American workers. These employees, in turn, will contribute to the local economy in various ways.
Why is she trying to find darkness in him? Why does she think he feels guilty about having it well compared to his parents? What's up with people projecting their white guilt, and darkness onto people? Would finding darkness in him make you feel better? Why is it frustrating her?
If something in life doesnt work fix it or get rid of it. I have said for many years, our political system has been broken for years. They need to go. Get it to work correctly by fixing it. Michael Peters
It's clear... like FDR said decades ago... ( paraphrased ) if anything big happens in politics you can bet it was planned that way. When will the rest of America wake up to the charade?
This interviewer is is annoying. "You said you wake up every day thinking of the competition. Why?" Cuban - I'm just competitive. "Why?" Cuban - "That's who I am. I've played sports my whole life. If I miss a shot, I get mad." "Why?" Cuban - I'm just competitive.
Totally agree. Ranked choice voting solves the 2 party system problem by allowing third party candidates to actually have a chance to Win. but if they don’t, your vote goes to your 2nd choice.
I really hope Mark does well with his Cost plus drugs..... it could change the industry the same way Amazon took ovber with books... at first publishers would not sell to Amaazon now Amazon controls the entitre industry. Health care costs in the US are insane.
@@insiderinside1905 Not sure about that. He has been very consistent with what he has done his whole life. Would love to see what changes he might be able to bring. But anyway.
Mark Cuban is at his best when he talks business only and stays neutral on politics. He has one of the greatest business minds ever. I recall as an analyst at Goldman Sachs when we priced his hedge of Yahoo! stock that locked him as a billionaire in Oct 1999, he knew more about the exotic structure than a Goldman senior partner with 20+ years of history. Key message: What makes Mark great is his ability to prepare. Matchless.
I've wanted ranked choice voting and eliminating the electoral college ever since I learned of it some years ago. Get rid of this corrupting duopoly that is making it harder to get candidates that we want--not the ones that the system favors. And reverse the SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United. Get the money out of politics as much as it's possible to do.
The solution is a THIRD AND INDEPENDENT candidate!!!! THATS IT! When both existing parties are on opposite extremes, the answer is always in the MIddle! ANd these celebrities should know better and invest their billions for the 3rd option.
Amazing that a company would just be happy making their 15% profit margin and just keep it at that. Companies just making a decent profit margin should be what a market is about not how much they can gouge out of the consumer.
She said "I am far from a hustler in every way imaginable, but want to understand what he think"..... You never really will, simply because you have no drive in business. He thinks different. Where you see problem, he sees opportunity. And act on it.
Closing statement very disrespectful, bad interviewer. Do athletes need a therapist because they are competitive and want to become the best at their game?
Yes, the market may be able to fix all the many huge problems in America ... but it never happens. So ... what is the roadblock? This guy's great. If he can explain this to America and do it - he should be President.
Mr. Cuban we need you to propose that the US business model have a fundamental shift against hyper consumerism and become more balanced. Not anti capitalism but balanced capitalism. We are on a path to destroy our planet and and country if we do not course correct. Money is a means to an end not an end in and of itself. Our children and grandchildren depend on us having this shift in values going forward.
I think what needs to be done, is that the office of President must be separated from the financial planning of the country. We can't keep going back and forth raising taxes, then cutting them, then raising taxes, and cutting them. We need to start thinking in 20 year plans. Long term, what are we doing? We can't really do this effectively now because each political party has vastly different ideologies on how the economy should work.
I'd respect what Cuban has to say but he has expressed his political affiliations so openly that he's more apart of the problem saying one party is better than the other. They are all the same!

Abolishing them is tempting to a lot of people. BUT From what I understand, there were no parties when the country started, but people disagreed (specifically Adams and Jefferson) about different aspects of policy that parties naturally formed. So if parties were done away with, they would form again anyway. The fix is to make them tell the truth.
I wake up 7 days a week thinking of my competition. Grind my hand a to literally bleed. I wish I was smarter, I have the work ethic, and desire. But I have sadly come to accept I’ll never be wealthy.
I don’t think anyone is necessarily anti tax it’s the fact that government wastes said tax dollars. Also the healthcare system is a failure of government.
One thing nobody talks about. (DEDUCTABLE) We all pay into our health care companies with every pay check. But, there is a deductible that has to be paid before they will do what we pay them to do. Mine is $6k. I can't pay that. I believe this deductible thing is a major scam. Can someone help me make silence of it???
Cuban: hire me to fix the health care in US with you. I am 62 years old, retired and moved to Italy recently, living the easy life. Life is great. But I am getting board. Tackling the healthcare problem in US would be an interesting challenge.
Great idea! I have been saying for years the major political parties put their party ahead of everything and any one that may have even a slightly different opinion or any diversity of ideas. 15:00
Greetings from Canada. Great podcast. Great interview. Great guest. How about you bring an NHL Team to the city of Quebec Mark! We would need your wisdom and business acumen to revive an NHL team in this great city! Think about it! Cuban takes over Canada with an NHL Team! You would be the King in Quebec and Canada
Great interview! Thanks for catching the current and important issues that Mr. Cuban is doing his part to help. Thanks Mr. Cuban for opening you mouth on the U.S. healthcare "industry" in a big way. You will be the first major force to make the PBM kabal CONSIDER starting to participate in U.S. equitably, honestly, and subject to law. - They are regulated public entities! Show us how to nail them. Stick them with personal pay/benefit ceilings or huge penalties at multiples of personal pay? Require full transparency of all trades made by or for the executive management, majority shareholders in public corporations? - less restrictive than complete ban or particular regulation of of timing of trades, but more social and U.S. economic justice for U.S. citizens. Let's push for elimination of funds from non-Citizen-Voters/Citizen-Jurors from federal elections. Let's push for this by establishing Public-Financing-ONLY of federal elections - this is essentially done in 1 step by requiring all federal candidate and partisan political party speech by restricted to Public Media (already owned and regulated by We The People). THIS ELIMINATES ANY CLAIM TO NEED FOR FUNDS BY POLITICAL PARTIES!!
This interview could have been so much better. I wish it had been a more incisive interviewer like a Kara Swisher-type personality who understands tech better and can discuss what he's doing at the next level.
Trying to provide competition in the pharmaceutical industry with the goal of significantly reducing prices to customers on a ‘cost plus 15%’ basis is extremely noble. Most of these medicines cost next to nothing to actually produce. The real cost in pharmaceutical industry is creating, R&D, testing and enduring the long term stringent FDA regulations. Pharmaceutical companies have to invest millions/billions to do this. Sure their prices are high. These prices off set the millions/billions ‘costs’ to bring that drug to the public. To instantly jump to the conclusion that it is just greed is not true. To find the actual truth would be very difficult to find out without these companies becoming 100% transparent and ‘not for profit’.
Mark is just the best, he is the billionaire that I actually like 😊❤. Companies and tech that he invest in are just awesome and he brought our Luka Dončić to Dallas 😂😂😂
Rather than trying to get rid of the parties, perhaps we'd be better served by sharing the knowledge that the parties are basically non-government publicity organizations that make recommendations. The situation with Harris's nomination has made this more obvious. And therefore we should all start to pay less attention to what the parties say. Ranked choice voting is reasonable too, though.
