FULL Mark Cuban vs Rav Arora FIERY DEBATE
This week Mark Cuban is in the centre of political news as he’s partnered with President Trump to try and lower drug prices. I know, this is an alliance I never saw coming given Cuban’s support for Kamala Harris in 2024. Coincidentally, this marks around a year since I debated Mark on my podcast and my team and I were preparing for a re-release this week. I released the podcast in two segments since the debate was on both DEI & Covid mandates.
It’s my most contentious & high-profile podcast to date so I wanted to re-release it in its full version together as one seamless episode.
In case you missed it last year or want to listen to it again in full, here you go:
