Florida is bracing for Hurricane Ian. Joe Biden speaks to the dead and will tell you why ice cream truc cream trucks are evil. Plus, their their, their, theed, icks and he's one of the stars of Shark Tank. Mark Cuban is joining us on the show everyone. It's going to be a ton of fun, so let's do this. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay. Before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Starting with Lizzo, who made history last night at a concert in Washington, D.C., when she played a 200-year-old crystal flute that once belonged to President James Madison. Yeah, that's a really cool way to bring attention to American history. Because now students will know that James Madison was that guy who did a collab with Lizzo. You know? In Education News, an Indiana teenager just learned that he was the only student in the world

this year to get a perfect score on the AP Calculus exam. Yeah, very impressive. What's even crazier is that the kid sitting next to him had the second best score in the world. What are the chances? Think about it though, the only person in the world with a perfect score. Do you have any idea what the odds of that are? I don't, the kid does. I don't, that's how smart he is. I don't know. Oh, and from the world of fine dining, McDonald's, has launched a limited edition series of happy meals for

adults. Yeah. And look, I know there are adults who are nostalgic for happy meals, but it's not the cheap plastic toys you cherish. It's that memory of your dad picking you up from school and then surprising you with a trip to Mickey D's getting that happy meal in the colorful box, you know, explaining to you that it's not your fault and both he and your mother still love you, even though they need to be apart now. Man, those to toyes were so cool. I remember those days. All right, but let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting with the monster hurricane that's shutting Florida down. Breaking news, Hurricane Ian has now officially made landfall as a category four storm, one of, if not the most powerful storm ever to

make landfall on the western coast of Florida. Truly an historic and potentially catastrophic day for much of this state. Ian's impact here as it moves inland will be a catastrophic surge of up to 18 feet, destructive wind gusts. They're going way over 100 miles an hour and flooding rain, which could be up to 2 feet because of the slow movement of the storm. This thing's the real deal It is it is a major major storm. Yeah people as we speak hurricane in is slamming into Florida And I honestly hope that everyone in the sunshine state is staying safe, you know, and I mean like like rest of America safe Yeah, you know, not like Florida safe, you know, where someone wears like a long-sleeve shirt to wrestle a gator.

I'm being safe! No, not that. Just be safe, safe. Because I mean, I know you guys are brave, but this hurricane, I mean, you heard Governor DeSanctus, he said, this thing is the real deal. Not like the usual stuff I tell you to be scared of, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, like, drag, like, like, like, like, like, like Because you understand, you understand, this storm is way worse than usual, right? 155 mile an hour winds, violent waves, and a storm surge of up to 18 feet high. 18 feet, you understand most pools aren't even 18 feet deep, right? There's like 8 feet of water and then maybe like another 2 to 4 of piss. That's it.

But Hurricane Ian, this shit is wild. And by the way, why are we still naming natural disasters? Like, why do we do this? It's a weird thing we do. Hurricane Iron, Fiona, like, we don't do that with personal disasters, you know? There's no doctor who's ever been like, I have some bad news. Jeremy has spread to your brain. Just a cute little name I came up with so you would remember it.

All right, but let's move on to some political news. After a shaky start to his presidency, Joe Biden has recently gotten some of his groove back. He's signing legislation, his reestablishing America's status in Europe, and he's the new brand ambassador for aviators. In fact, many people are actually saying that Biden might have a really good shot at winning a second term in office. All he needs to do, though, is avoid doing stuff like this.

An awkward moment for President Biden today at a White House conference. While calling out people in the audience, he accidentally included Indiana Congresswoman Jackie Wollorski, who was killed in a car crash over the summer. I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials like Representative Governor Brown, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, you here? Where's Jackie? I don't think she was going to be here. To help make this a reality. No! No, Joe, what are you doing? Ah, that's so awkward. Oh man, and his explanation didn't help. You know, he was like, of course I knew Jackie was dying. I was looking for Jackie Kennedy. Where's Jackie? Where are you Jackie? Where's Jackie? Where are you Where's Jackie? Look, I mean, I guess on the upside, at least,

he noticed that she wasn't there. This is a good thing. Yeah, it could have been much worth if he was like, where's Jackie? Oh, there's Jackie. He's like, there's no Jack. She's not. example of Biden's brain being foggy but I think if anything this makes Biden a better president. Yeah, think of how hard he must be working right now

to keep Americans safe knowing that Osama bin Laden is still out there somewhere. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? And finally, let's talk about air travel. The number of people flying is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels and if you're one of those people about to take a flight for the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first their their their their their their to th. Yeah? to to to to to to to to thi thi thi? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. travel. The number of people flying is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels. And if you're one of those people about to take a flight for the first time in a few years, here's a reminder that you might experience some weird shit up in the air. A new video is showing the moment that left passengers on board in American Airlines flight very confused. They were on their way to Dallas from LAX when strange noises started coming from the plane's public announcement system. Take a listen. The video has since gone viral and has gotten the attention of American airlines. Some people have floated around the idea that the PA system was hacked.

The company says the cause was a lot less sinister, blaming it on a malfunctioning system. Ah, uh, uh, uh, uh, hell no. Hell no. What the hell was that? You hear that on the name? I don't even know how to describe those sounds. It sounds like Chubaca getting a hand job or something. What was that?

And how is this guy so calm? He's just like, yeah, you hear those sounds. Yo, if I'm on a plane that starts making sounds like that, I'm getting a parachute. And a few extra pretzels, and I'm opening the emergency exit. Now, a lot of people were speculating that the PA system was hacked by a prankster, but the official explanation from American Airlines is that the sounds were caused by, quote, a mechanical issue with the PA amplifier which raises the volume of the PA system when

the engines are running. Which somehow is less comforting? Like a hacker, I understand, oh, I get it a hacker. But you're telling me that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th thea thea tea ta ta ta ta ta ta ta.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.. But you're telling me that the plane is always making sounds? Like Frankenstein is getting a prostate exam, but we're only hearing it now because of a mechanical issue? That's not reassuring information. Ah! Ah!

To me, the best case scenario is if the pilot accidentally left the PA system on in the cockpit and all the sounds that sucked everybody. I gotta get my spirits back up. You know what I'm gonna watch that new video from the try guys? Let's see, ah, ah, that sucked. Oh, boy, what, wait, what is this giant rat doing in here? What are the, ah, ah, ah, mah, mah, mah, mah, mah, mah, mah, mah, no one can know. That would have been better. All right, that's it for the headlines.

But before we go to a break, let's catch up on the traffic with our very own. Roywood Jr. everybody. Yes. Yeah. That's going on, man. Look, man, a lot of traffic, you know, people evacuating over there in Florida. We hope that they stay safe, get the supplies you need. It could be a long time in the car, you know, but the thing I always wonder about evacuations,

where, where, where are they going? The one car, it's always just one person going to the danger. Because it's really only two the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the money thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. It's thiole. It's thoomome. th. thathea. It's tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. People's, tho. People's, tho. People's, tho. People, tho. People, th. People, th. People, th. People, th. People. People. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's their, their, their, their, their, their, they. It's they. It's they. It's they. People's thea. People's thea. People's the. Because it's really only two reasons to go into a storm. That is money and sex. Those are the only two reasons. Wait what? What you have the two reasons? Wait, you never have a disaster sex in a disaster? You ain't ever had something, what you'll be doing in South Africa? You always... Bro, I've had sex in a tornado, I've had sex in a wildfire, and an earthquake. Wait, wait, wait, you have sex in an earthquake? We were having sex in an earthquake happen.

It's not like the earthquake, it's not like, quick, come on, baby, we gotta do it. Like, that's not... But the cool thing, the cool thing about having a earthquake. But the cool part about being an earthquake. This thing in Florida is getting really bad. I heard that the Waffle House is shutting down, and Waffle House is apparently notorious for staying open. It shows you how bad this situation is.

That's one metric, but I don't think the whole Waffle House of a Waffer House open the call. I don't think that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most thoom's is thoom's the the the thoom's is thoom's is thoom is thoom is the the waffl the waffle the waffle the waffle the waffle the the the the the the the the the the thoom is is is is is is is is the the thoom is is the thoom is thoom is the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thooooooofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofa.. thoofoofoofoofa is shutting thoo ask yourself one question. Can I get cocaine right now? The last person to evacuate in a storm is the drug dealers. You don't understand. The drug dealer has too much inventory at risk. They've got to be there and make sure all the money stays safe. You make sure all the dope stay safe. You can't get your cocaine wet and turn in the stucco. That's terrible. all the dope say, today, you can't get your cocaine wet and turn in the speckle, that's terrible. You can't... The drug dealer is what we look out for. I'm telling you, if a storm is hit it your way and you can't get cocaine, it's too late. Okay.

Okay, Roy, thank you. So what's happening in the, uh, the, uh, the thing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, thing, thing, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. ta. t. to. to. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. to.? I get what McDonald's is trying to do. People are stress, you know, you want people to smile. So you try and give them a little, a little, little, a little bit of happiness. But adults need more than food. See, the food and the toy, that's for kids. Kids are stupid. But if you're grown people. make adults happy, this is what McDonald's needs to do. First thing, they gotta get a liquor license, they gotta get the games, a ball pit, ski ball, pizza, get somebody like in a mouse, like one of them rat suits get them

to stand out front and play with everybody. That's what you get. That's what you get. That's what I'm talking about. to something different. Like you get all of that stuff and then also McDonald's could add card games, live entertainment, a smoking section, gambling, maybe some dice, no windows. You want people to focus on the happiness that's going on right there with the money and the food.

So, you're pitching a casino? No, I'm not pitching a casino. You know what, man, you was a f-hater and you always have there. Every time I froze an idea, all you thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. You thi. thi. thi. thi. You thi, you a f-h-hater and you always have that. Every time I froze an idea all you do was give me pushback bro instead of supporting me I thought you were black man I'm a black man you're supposed to be helping brothers uplift like like like the time I pitched you the box that heat the food up real fast you start talking about oh but there's a microwave so what it's not a microwave. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha toy. Like toy. Like toy. Like. Like. I'm the the toy. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toy. toy. toy. I's toy. I's toy. I's. I was. toy. toy. toy. toy. I's. to. a microwave. It's different. The food go in through the top, not the front. That's a totally different device.

And I would think that you, my friend, who I've been rocking with on this show for seven years will go, Roy, that's a good idea. Here's half a million dollar. I want to lose half a million dollars. You're not going to lose, this me, baby. You're not going to lose the money, dog. I'm telling you, man, this is going to be a good place. And stop saying casino, because that's not what it is.

It's a different type of spot to them. I'm talking about for to make the adults to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make the adults to make to make to make to make to make the adults to make to make to make the adults to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make the the the the their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the too., Ia... tooosoosoosomea. Ia.a.a. Ia. Ia.a. Ia. Ia. Ia. I, can I buy like chips with my money? That's a good idea. You in? No, that's a casino, Roy. That's not a casino is different. You know what, Roy, just give us the traffic. I don't f-feek with you. You want you to try, go, pull up the Google map with something on your phone. I'm straight, man.

It's for a casino. What would June, everybody? All right, when we come back, we're going to talk about the conspiracy theories that they do want you to know about. Don't go away. It's still a casino. Welcome back to there are conspiracy theories about everything. The CIA killed Tupac. Paul Rod is immortal.

The Moonlanding faked us. But those are just the obvious ones, which is why we have a special segment that reveals the conspiracies you never even knew existed. Conspiracies. They're everywhere, or are they nowhere? Or is that exactly what they want you to think? So that's where my wallet is. Well, for every they, there's a me. I'm Kevin Matthew Kelp. Follow me as I pull back the curtain to find the truth behind the curtain.

This is Project Conspiracy. Everywhere we go, vehicles are spying on us. Cop cars, unmarked vans, roller coasters. But what if I were to tell you there was another kind of vehicle monitoring Americans right underneath our noses? Or should I say our mouths. I'm talking about ice cream trucks. The classic All-American ice cream truck. Seems like just an innocent way to get a tasty treat until you do some digging.

Meet Harry Burt, inventor of the ice cream truck. In 1923, he patented his creation with, you guessed it, the US government, aka the people monitoring us so closely they even know my social security number. So why did Burt team up with Big Brother? I'll tell you why. Because of the massive amount of Intel, these spy, cream trucks can gather in plain sight, foot traffic patterns,

snacking habits. A third thing I'll figure out later. All they needed was the perfect cover. The ice cream. Brain freeze. Oh! Oh! Oh! It's time to figure out what exactly these trucks are up to. One chocolate at a Claire bar. Or did you already know that? Uh, no. Actually make it too. I'm really hungry and I'm getting ready to a steak out. Wait, not for you though. $10. $10.

$10. Okay, I hope you got what you were looking for, Mr. Ice Cream, man. This is $30. Don't, don't. My interaction with the ice cream Gestapo seemed normal. All too normal. So I kept watching for hours, fighting the temptation to get more ice cream Gestapo seemed normal. All too normal. So I kept watching for hours, fighting the temptation to get more ice cream

and only succumbing all of the time. Why couldn't I resist this truck? That's when I realized their most dangerous weapon. D-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. The song. The song. The song. The song. The song. the song. Hey. You spying on kids, you pervert? No, I mean, kind of, but...

But... Hey! It was never just the ice cream. The truck siren song was its secret weapon the whole time. And I'm going'm gonna prove it. Hey, where's the ice cream? Oh I don't have any. I was just proving a theory and it worked, so thank you. Give us the f-earned icezee. Run, run, do it! Go!

Oh! Oh! Wow! Music has long been a psychological tool for deep state forces like the CIA, the radical left, and chilies, convincing ordinary citizens to confess, to vote, and to eat against their own self-interest. Oh, these kids, man. These kids are tough.

But if I'm ever going to get the real scoop on this musical conspiracy, I need to go inside the belly of the beast. Let's go! So this is where everything happens, and this is the ice cream truck. Okay ma'am, I'm ready for the job interview, so. You know we don't make you dress like that anymore, right? So where do you turn on the mind control song? Excuse me, the ice cream totally normal, the jingle?

So you're some sort of undercover conspiracy reporter? How do you know that? Who do you work for? You put it on your your your your the on your th on your th th on your th th th on your th th on your th th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi? How do you know that? Who do you work for? You put it on your resume. That's a typo. The whole job description? Yeah. I've been made.

Abort. Abort. Abort. Oh, God. Come on. So, do you not want the job? Clearly, whatever deep state agency is behind these trucks will stop at nothing to stop me from stopping them.

But don't worry, resistance is possible. Thanks to these noise-cancelling headphones, the only thing I'll be hooked on is the sweet tuned because when we come back. Mark Cuban will be joining me right here on the Daily Show. My guest is an entrepreneur who owns the Dallas Mavericks and recently started Cost Plus Drug Company, which makes low-cost versions of generic prescription drugs. He's here to talk about the new season of his Emmy-winning hit series, Shark Tank, which airs Friday nights on ABC. Please welcome, Mark Cuban.

I'd love to know what you think makes it so successful. Why do we all love watching people come on and then try and pitch you an idea that you either trash or invest in or completely try and try and take over?

Mark Cuban seems to me like one of the only super fans who took over a team. Because some people buy team changed because of you. Many people have credited you in the NBA of being part of changing the culture of trying to make it so that even the people who work behind the scenes are happy and are enjoying themselves. Like why did you decide that you could have just gone in for a team but you're out of the team? No, I love basketball. I'll get out there and I'll shoot with the guys. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just.

I get to jump on them too, and I don't, I don't get arrested, right? Anybody else? You all run there? I'll arrest your ass.

I run out there. I'll have fun. The NBA has been, you know, in an interesting, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's. I. I's. I'm, I'm, I'm, their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm t. I'm. I'm t. I'm. I'm the the the the today. I'm the the mean it was everything NBA and NFL and then you know the NBA was seen as this place where you know players were speaking their mind it was a really aware organization Adam Silver gets a lot of credit for instance many of the owners do as well. Recently though there's been a scandal that has rocked the Phoenix Sons and you know everyone's been talking about how to deal with an owner where he's been accused of everything, from racism to inappropriate messages at work. And I think the fine came down at $10 million in a year. Some have said it isn't enough, some have said it's just enough. What do you make of that?

And more than the fine, because I mean, that's not your job. But what do you think, the position, the position of an owner in a team needs to be in terms of how it's outwards, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, and how, how, and how, and how, and how, and how, how, and how, how, how, and how, how, how, how, and th thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, what thi, what thi, what thi, what thi, what, what, what, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi............. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin. thin. thin. thin. thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to to to, to, to, to, to to to, certain way as the owner? You know, rather than talking about that situation specifically, I can tell you what I think, right? I may be responsible for writing the checks for the Dallas Mavericks, but all of North Texas really owns the Dallas Mavericks. It's the only business where I get emails from people saying, son has cancer, you know, can you bring some players out? Can we, will you visit? You know, my son just died or my daughter just died, can we bury him in a lucidantious jersey? You know, there's no other industry. You know, and when you win, when Google has a great quarter,

nobody in their city, you know, mountain, wherever it is, celebrates. Right. When your team wins a championship, the whole city goes not. The whole city is the whole city goes in us. The whole city is on fire, right? It's just such a different industry and with that comes a responsibility. You have to have, you have to, you know, lead, you have to be able to set examples for diversity and inclusion and show people that, you know, this is the real world and we can change it and we can be part of it and make them better. And you know I think that's the responsibility that comes with only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the that's their that's their their their that's that's their that's their, you're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have th, you have th. th. th. thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're the. the. the. the. the. thean. thean. the. thean. their their their their their their their the responsibility that comes with only in a sports teams. That's probably why you've been so successful. It really is. You also, you know, you're also behind, I remember reading this and, you know, we live in a world where billionaires tweet all kinds of crazy things all the time. I won't mention names.

But billionaires will twea. And they'll say, oh, I'll thihean, the world, I'll do this. I remember seeing a tweet of yours where you were basically talking about up-ending the drug industry and lowering prescription drug prices. And I was like, ah, here we go again, hopes up and nothing's going to happen. But you actually didn't. We're doing it. We're the real deal. Yeah, we started a company called Cost Plus Drugs. of it and what we do that's different. Every other drug manufacturer, I mean no one trust the drug industry at all, right? And so what we said was, you know, sunlight is the best

disinfected. So if you go and you put in the drug and if we carry it, it'll show you not only what we sell it for, it'll show you our cost. And we'll actual cost. But we really pay for it. We mark it up 15 percent. That's it. We have a $3. the the the actual. the actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual actual. the actual. the actual. the actual. their. their, our, our, our actual, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our actual, our actual, our actual, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the, the, the, the, their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the, the, the. the, the, a $3 pharmacy fee and $5 for shipping. That's it. And so you know exactly what we paid. And so you can trust it. And that's the first time in the pharmacy industry where when you're buying a medication, you can trust that you're paying a fair price. So you're making money?

Not yet. But you will think the business. Yeah, but you will th. The business. The business. The business. The business. The business. The business. The business. The business. The business.

Why? Why? Because what's happened is all, when someone like me, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the their, to, th. th. th. to, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. to th. to to th. to to to to to to thi buys them out and puts them away. Bies the company. Bies that company. So that takes them off the market. I can't be bought, right? I don't need, you can't, I don't, my next dollar is not going to change my life, but if I get a chance to faull. their trun. If I thea, the drug, I the drug, I the drug, I th. t. B. B. B. B. B. B. B.

I. B. B. Btwo days ago a guy that I knew in college Landon Turner is taking this drug Derek I don't even know what I was pronounced And he's like mark it cost me $3,000 a month. I can't afford it can you help and it was literally

It's a generic so I had our guys go into a nut five minutes ago while I was waiting in the green room. He came back than was paying $3 a month, it's now going to cost him $63 a month. Wait, wait, I was wrong. Wait, wait, no, I was wrong. $63 for three months. Three months. So, okay. That's how crazy this industry is.

Yeah, but I, so I people like Martin Screlli, started to cut you over, but people like Martin Screlly became famous for coming in, buying a drug that people need to survive, and then hiking it up by I don't know how many thousand percent of whatever it was. But it feels like you't going to happen. So the way it works now, there's three big companies that are insurance companies that own these

things called pharmacy benefit managers who are responsible for really distorting the prices. And then they also own the big retail pharmacies, all the big names you've heard of. And so they're able to control all the pricing elements. We work outside of that. So right now we're mail order, so if you go to Cost Plus Drugs.com, like Landon will be able to buy his drug for all that less money, and then we'll ship it to them, we'll mail it to them. Soon we'll be able to do it at local independent pharmacies,

but because we work outside of the problem. They're really not. It's these big three companies that are distorting their prices. And the manufacturers don't have any other way to sell it. So now we can sell it for them. And so we're not there on some of the big brand names, but we're close. And so we literally, true, we to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, they...... they. they. thi, thi, throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, th... And so, you know, we literally, literally, Trevor, I mean, five years from now we can look

back and say, you f-. You f'em up. And that would be like a dream of... That's my goal. You know, I think one of the reasons you're so popular and their story, you know, I think the reason you sold your first company, you made a lot of money, but you also made many of your employees, millionaires. And they also like stockhold, didn't have options.

You just said, all right, everybody, I made money, we all make money. And then you did it again with your next company. That was like a big sale, and you did it again. You've had this attitude that seems counter to what many Americans think these days where they say, if I get rich, I get rich, screw all of you. And everyone who's been in your path, everyone who's gone along with you can go, oh yeah, I worked with Mark Cuban and you can see that we made money. In this instance, let's say you are successful. This company could go on to become very rich. It could make a lot of money. How do we know, and I'm assuming you're that kind of person, but how do we know that then at some point you

won't raise those drug prices when everyone is on cost plus? Like, can you make a promise to the people? Can you say, this is what we're going to stick it up? I'm a problem. Seriously, that's the whole goal. That's a mission. I'm, I. I. I's, I's not. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's, I'm thathe. that's that, that. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I that. I that. I that. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm tha. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm thr. I'm the. I'm the. I'm th. I'm not because I get to ask that all the time. Yeah. He's just you know low prices now. Yes, jack him up later. If anything, we've been lowering prices. If you follow us at cost plus drugs on Twitter, I take pride in every couple weeks. We're cutting prices. We're not we're not increasing prices. I mean in this day and age, and you talk about this all the time. It's just insane that somebody has to choose between rent, food, and to to to to to to to to the to the to th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. their their their their their thi. thi. thi. their their their the cost the cost th. thi. the cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost cost, th. th. th. the cost cost, th. the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, their their thi. their thi. So thi. So to to to to cost, to to cost, to to to cost, to to cost, to their to their their their their rent, food, and medication. Right. And, you know, people think capitalism is just about how much money can I make. It's not. Capitalism is me being able to start a business and choose the outcomes that I want.

No one else can tell me what my goal is. No one else can tell me what's important to me. I get to make that choice. For some people, look, if I'm 25 years old, it's making as much money as I can. But now, like I've been saying, if you get a chance to turn around an industry where people now don't have to make those choices, that's the best reward of all time. That's the best reward of all time. I wish you the best.

I'll tak I I'm going to hold you to your word. I know where to find you. I know exactly where you are in Dallas. Mark Cuban everybody, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Thank you again, for real. I love it, man. For the today.
