♪ ♪ ♪ >> tamron: welcome to the "tamron hall show" from my home. there is so much happening in the world of sports, the olympics have been postponed and we have al would have been obsessing over our march madness brackets, that has been canceled, too. the dallas mavericks owner, billionaire entrepreneur and a host of abc's hit show "shark

tank" mark cuban has become one of the leading voices speaking out on covid-19 and the impact it's having on small businesses. i spoke with him earlier from out of cyber hall. we are doing the show from my home so the wife i was a little bit spotty however, mark shared some important points and i think he had some really thoughtful things to say so i wanted you to hear, we will play that interview. >> tamron: i remember one of our last days on air, there were so many questions about the nba and why or how players were able to get tested it seemed before the general public. now we are a few days out from it, how do you process what happened in the early days regarding testing and what seemed like some of them are elite getting tested? >> i really don't have the answers for you, i know the people in our organization, the management and everything, we haven't taken tests, at least not as an organization and i don't have any details to give

you on why or how they got tested, i really don't know. >> tamron: do you think that will be one of the things we unpack when we look back at all of this? one of the things i love about you is that despite your huge success of being this billionaire, you do, including looking out for people who work for your organization, look out for what we call in our society the little guy. the economic impact of the testing, how it was handled in the early stages, do you think that's all a part of what we need to review? >> yeah, absolutely. as horrific as all this is, it gives us a chance to do a little bit of a reset. i recognize i'm not successful, you're not successful if not for all the people who work around us and put us in this position. maybe we did things right, maybe we were lucky but the reality is we have to be considerate of all those around us. i'm the luckiest guy in the world, i can help -- another dollar is not going to change my life but it will change somebody

else's life and that's important to me. >> tamron: you own american airlines arena, so many other things, you talk about another dollar won't help you and by the way, 99000% of us don't understand that but that's the reality and you're using it to help people, including those at the arena who will get hit hard by this. >> look, i've been on both sides. i know what it's like to be broken to be fired and not know where you're going to eat. when the first thing that came to mind for me after my family was all these people who work by the hour that don't know how many hours they're going to get in a weekend now may not know they'll get paid at all. my first instinct is let's take care of them. what we did is with say, we are going to pay you as if the game did happen. we are paying all those servers,

all of the bar backs, all the bartenders as if people were still coming in and eating even though we're closed. i am able to help and it's just the right thing to do and i've seen other nba teams, other sports owners and a lot of others do the same thing and it's a good thing. >> tamron: that's the thing, again, going back to your perspective on being on both ends of the loss of life and the struggle it takes to get there. at when it started i was watching the show and everyone took up panic-buying and what a way to live in the bubble, the average american doesn't have $400 for an emergency and we are talking about panic-buying when you got to have the money to buy in a panic and most people don don't. >> no question. i mean, look for a $400, $100, bouncing checks, now they are wondering what they are overdraft fees are going to be. they know they have to hit that rent, they don't know what the

produce they have to give their kids to feed them healthily is going to cost. hopefully the government now with this $1200 check into the $500 per kid, hopefully now that that's passed still be able to figure out how to get it into people's hands. quicker because i think that's a good thing, it gives people a little bit of a sense of control over their lives, a little bit of empowerment, $1200 is a lot of money and it may not pay everybody's rent but it may put food on the table and at least get you until we have a better sense of what's going on. >> tamron: mark, you are always very vocal, calling out the things you think should be paid one of the things you talked about is companies not manufacturing essentials, price gouging early on. >> and we get on the other side were going to have to be very specific about emergency ppe in particular for health care providers, because the idea that we have manufacturers protecting

equipment for the first-line health care responders, and we don't have any certainty about where their production is going, whether it's going to people here in this country, it's just craziness. we have to have a system in place that says we need to know where all the production is happening, know who they are being shipped too, need to be able to know how they are being allocated if there are shortages and have that information available and transparent not only to the government but to the public as well. in emergency times, that lack of transparency is adding to the fear which is making hospitals and others hoard more, even if they don't need them, saving for shortages where they do need them. companies like 3m had just come out and said you know what, we know this industry, the respirator masks better than anybody, explain to you what was going on and why there are shortages and how we are allocating what we have, we may not like it but at least we

understand it. they are effectively ghosting the american people and not saying anything and that's creating a lot of fear, that's creating the hoarding and causing the price of masks potentially to go up significantly, that's wrong and we need to make sure that doesn't happen again. >> tamron: i was walking down the street in my own neighborhood, everything is closed in new york and i thought, how many of them will return? i thought about how many were just on the brink of success, the popularity and now they may not return, how will small businesses reset? >> it's hard to say but i will say this, it's a great question, talking about government support, with the law that was just past, something the fda put outcome of the payroll protection program. what it is, for small businesses with 500 and fewer employees, you can go to your bank, you don't even have to go to the small business
