luence. Yeah, no I don't think it's mental illness. Not in their case. I mean there's a lot of TDS but I don't think Soros has TDS. I doubt Reid Hoffman has TDS. There's something else going on.

What about Mark Cuban? He's a mystery too. Another billionaire mystery. So he's all in on DEI and diversity. But watching him debate this in public is getting kind of hilarious because his argument keeps getting smaller and smaller because he's trying to find a way to publicly support discrimination. He's trying to support racial discrimination against white people but make an argument for it.

So here here's where he retreated all the way to today. So he was posting, I guess who was arguing with the rabbit account. He said hypothetically, all right you have 30 white male employees and you want to improve, you think you can improve your profitability if instead of having 30 white male employees if you had at least a black woman, you might get more perspective. You get a diverse perspective and that could help your company. So he says are you okay with hiring the black woman or would you call that racial discrimination?

Let me ask you. You got 30 white male employees and maybe not because you discriminated. It just turned out that way. So let's just use that as our hypothetical example. And then you say to yourself, you know I think I could do better work if I had a black woman because she'd bring some diverse perspective. Is that racial discrimination? Of course it is. By definition that's exactly what it is.

But the question is should it be okay? Should that very narrowly specific thing where you don't have diverse perspectives but you know you could add it... why do you think you would get the useful diverse perspective from a black woman but not from one of the 30 guys who's already there? What, none of the 30 guys know any black people? They don't have any insight whatsoever into that world? They couldn't ask somebody? No, it's just discrimination. Would it work? Maybe. Is that ever a reason for racial discrimination? Nope.

So I think the argument is if it could make your company better and you weren't doing it for racial reasons, would it be okay? It could make you more profitable and you're not doing it because you're racist. You're doing it just to make yourself more profitable. No, it's not okay. That's just racism. Just racism. We don't do that.

So why would Mark Cuban be in favor of something that is so hard to defend? My guess is that he runs businesses that have a lot of diversity in them and that's the end of the story. If you were the leader of a bunch of companies that really, really valued diversity and you had a lot of diversity, then I would say yeah as the leader you probably want to take into account that the people you lead have this opinion and supporting them actually makes sense from a business perspective. From other perspectives you could be mad at it but it makes perfect sense that if you're a leader of a bunch of diverse people who like diversity you should be pro-diversity. I think I would be too. If you put me in the same situation I probably say what he says because there would be a lot of pressure to support the people that you work with.

But let me try Mark's example was very narrow. So let's say you had a basketball team that had only black players on it and you said to yourself if we added a white player we might get some white perspective. Because what if the basketball players are bringing a black perspective to the game and I'm blind to it because I'm white so you know I don't see it. But shouldn't I add a white basketball player who's maybe not as strong as the rest to get that extra perspective? I don't need to answer the question. I'm pretty sure a basketball team is just picking the best shooters and blockers anyway.

Putin's going to run again. Looks like he's running for re-election. So the Russia Election Commission has formally registered him for March election. You know what, I don't like to go out on a limb and make predictions about politics because you know a lot could happen. But Putin running for reelection in Russia, I'm gonna say I like his chances. I'm gonna say I like his chances. I don't know. I'm just going to put myself out there. Take a risk. Sometimes you got to take a risk. I like his chances.

Nancy Pelosi is suggesting that we should look into the pro-Palestinian protest because they have a connection to... can you guess? Anybody want to take a guess? Nancy Pelosi. The pro-Palestinian protesters, they might be influenced by somebody from the... who could it be? Could it be Putin? Yes, that is what she's suggesting. Is there evidence? No. But it's an election year so I'm sure we're going to blame Putin for everything.

All right. Here's some fake news about Trump. Surprise. So you've heard the story that even the GOP lawmakers are believing the story that Trump is telling people, even his Republican friends, that he doesn't want a border deal because he'd rather run on the issue. Does that sound true to you? Does it sound true that Trump doesn't want to solve the border issue with a bill? He doesn't want to solve it with the legislation that's being proposed but he wants to run on it instead.

All right. So here's what they told us. They said Trump doesn't want Biden to have a border bill victory. Does that sound true? Trump doesn't want Biden to have a border bill victory. Yeah, of course. Because Biden could run on it. Now I think that's true. Second part is does Trump want to run on the issue? Of course. Well who wouldn't? It's the biggest issue. Well are we surprised he wants to run on the biggest issue in the country? No.

But what's missing from it? Have you spotted it? Have you spotted the brainwashing propaganda? There's something missing from the story. So the parts they tell us, and this was in The Hill I think, that he doesn't want Biden to have a legislative victory on the border and that he wants to run on the issue. I think both of those sound true. But here's what's left out. Does Trump think the border bill is good? Isn't that the most important part of the story? Because if Trump thinks the border bill is good and he still wants to kill it so that he can win an election, well I wouldn't support that. Would you? Who would support that? I don't know any Republican who would support that.

But isn't the important part of the story is the legislation being considered making things better or worse? My understanding is it codifies an untenable situation. In other words it lets in so many people legally that we'd still have a huge problem. It wouldn't solve the problem. It would reduce it a little at best. Yeah. So if Trump is against a terrible legislation attempt and given that he wouldn't want that to be signed under any condition no matter who is president, is it fair to say that Trump doesn't want Biden to have a border bill victory and that Trump wants to run on the issue? Both true. But if you leave out that the border bill is garbage it looks like he's just being a jerk. If you know that the border bill makes things worse not better then you say, well of course he wants to run on the issue. Of course he doesn't want Biden to have success passing a bad bill. Like who exactly is fooled by this? How many of you were fooled by this story and you didn't realize the part left out is that Trump doesn't like th
