joseph a bank really debt out of men's wearhouse? >> my sources say that joseph a bank probably would not have invited men's wearhouse back to the table if it were not entertaining a deal at $65 per share. at whichs the price the parties can come back together. of course that would mean that joseph a bank would have to walk away from its yield to i eddiebauer and pay a breakup fee which is also a source of scrutiny. it seems like a big mess at this point. >> where does this leave joseph a bank us current dance partner, if you will? >> the most competent a part of the deal after the two parties agree on price, it might be antitrust. joseph a bank could demand some high protections from men's ifrhouse to make it whole regulators do not approve of this deal and that in turn may make men's wearhouse walk away from this deal. it is very far from being done. whath a bank could amend is called a hell or high water provision is very unusual which would force men's wearhouse to close the deal with them even though regulators did not give it a

but when you hear joseph's argument, you don't buy snit >> no. i completely respect the fact that is his experience, but the problem with his argument is it has an evidence problem, which is that all the evidence, when you look at it in the aggregate, shows that there are obvious biases in the system. >> mark or sunny, joseph asked the question, where in this trial is there racism? >> it's at the root of the case. i sat in there every day. but for the fact that those boys were black, he would not have felt threatened. he made a leap. he saw them, heard loud music and felt threatened by this alleged inherent criminality of the black kid. and nip who doesn't see that is very naive. >> let me just kind of bridge this for you, joseph. >> the fact of the matter is, joseph dunn might be a bigot, but you cannot point to anything this this procedure -- >> you're talking about -- joseph, you're talking about the procedure, court procedure. it seems apples and oranges. you're talking about the procedure itself. mark and sunny, you're talking about the mind
