As Fox News reported, Mark Cuban told “The Ingraham Angle” that he would “welcome an invitation” to join the White House task force that will focus on the reopening of the U.S. economy.
“Any way I can serve my country, I’m all in,” Cuban told guest host Brian Kilmeade. “If they ask me to … I would be happy to.”
Kilmeade said that President Trump may just take him up on the offer, to which Cuban responded, “I hope so.”
“I think he needs more information. I think you can’t just use the death rate and the number of people who are ill or sick or anything. You’ve got to go out and start talking to businesses about what they see on the other side,” Cuban said.
“I would send the same type of survey to employees and [ask], ‘Do you anticipate going back to the job you left? … or do you anticipate going to a completely different job? Or do you anticipate not going after a job at all [and] don’t want to work?'”
“We need more information to try to give us give some indication of what things are going to be like after this reset.”
During the interview, the billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner was asked what kind of measures will be taken to prevent the spread of the virus during sporting events.
“I do think we will play games without fans initially,” he said, “and then, as we feel more confident going back to work and going into crowds, then we will start to explore whether to bring fans into arenas and stadiums.”
