i'm toure, and as we come on the road we're learning about jeffrey williams who they say admitted to having fired the shots but investigators are looking into the possibility the cops are not the target. >> he may have had a dispute with some other individuals or felt he had some other dispute. we're not sure we completely buy that target. we're not sure he wasn't targeting police but he may have been shooting at someone other than police. it is possible there was a dispute and it is possible he was targeting the police officers. we have to wait for the investigation to develop more fully. >> but the charges are the same. two counts of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. and sarah is live in ferguson. sarah, where does the investigation stand? >> reporter: good afternoon, toure. the arraignment was brief.

the judge continued the case until the end of the month. the status of the investigation is that it's ongoing. both with police and in the court of public opinion. one of the big debates was williams in fact a demonstrator. those who have been out night after night since the shooting of michael brown say they don't recognize him. but at a press conference on sunday prosecutors say he was a demonstrator prior to allegedly firing the shots last week and that he had appeared at previous demonstrations. they are crediting the public with helping to provide tips that led to the identification of williams. eric holder released a statement about the arrest which reads in part, quote, this arrest sends a clear message that acts of violence against law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated. we'll continue to partner with authorities in the st. louis county to secure justice for all those affected by this heinous and cowardly crime. end quote. strong words for just fris eric holder. toure, back to you.

>> nbc's sarah doll for us in ferguson. eric holder has been involved in the situation since august but the woman nominated to take over the justice department when he leaves is facing the longest wait for confirmation ever to lead the d.o.j. it has been 128 days. senate majority leader mcconnell is threatening to delay a senate vote on her confirmation until after the chamber passes a bill on human trafficking. >> i had hoped to turn to her next week. but if we can't finish the trafficking bill she will be put off again. they need to come to grips with this this was a noncontroversial bill and it cams out of the judiciary bill unanimously and now the language they find professive was in there from the beginning. they voted for the same language for a bill in december. >> the bill had bipartisan support but democrats found an anti-abortion provision tucked inside and they say republicans should have told them there and

the gop said democrats should have read the legislation and they have a point. and let's bring in josh barrow when he is not hosting three cents on shift, josh what is going on with the loretta lynch confirmation brouhaha? >> well i think this is another pretex for delaying that. for republicans, ultimately loretta lynch will be confirmed but opposing this is a political no brainer for republicans who want to make good with the conservative base in case of future primary battles. and this issue over the abortion provision for the human trafficking bill this has been in the legislation for months. this is a 64-page bill and not that crazy long as pieces of legislation go and i gather the abortion provision was on pages four and five of the law. so it is something that should have been noticed before right now. this is also a long-standing dispute in congress over whether the federal government should pay for abortions but policies

come down to the side that the federal government will not pay for abortions. this long-standing lie called the hyde amendment and polls show that americans have a mixed position on abortion and they don't want it fully legal and a majority feel that the federal government should not pay for abortions. >> and if i can clarify, and the reason this is controversial, the hyde amendment would apply. the reason this is controversial is because we are not talking about federal funds, but funds collected from perpetrators involved in human trafficking. so it is not specifically forward government funds but it is seen as an an expansion of funds, josh. >> that is why democrats oppose it and democrats oppose the hyde amendment and would like to see fewer restrictions on government funds for abortion. so it is the same old fight as before. it got through the judiciary

amendment -- and it is getting tied up with the a.g. commission which is totally unrelated. >> republicans see this with a political advantage. some things they are at a disadvantage like around rape. but this is a stance popular with the majority and why not pick a fight with democrats and not pick a fight with what you like and pick a fight. >> and ted cruz is saying let's not put up a fight unless the white house rolls back immigration and the white house is said no we are not doing that. but what i find what is interesting, is senator mccain four months ago said loretta lynch was an outstanding young woman and imagining she would make it through the senate. but friday night he said i'm actually not going to support her. so what has happened in the paflt four months for -- the past four months for someone like john mccain.

is there something, beyond the politics to change his support. >> i'm not sure it is anything beyond the politics. they want her confirmed if this issue is off the table. it is not like whatever other attorney general nomination would be more congenial. but there is no reason for you to be one of the republican senators to vote for her. john mccain had a fairly spirited primary challenge the last time he ran and john mccain has issues on which he's broken with the conservative base including immigration, and viewed skeptically in arizona. >> he knows she can get through without his vote and so he can do it safely. >> yep. >> and speaking of the conservative base it is not just st. patrick's day, it is debt limit day. >> green day, or red. is there a parade for that too? >> we could start one. >> do we have a question?

>> yes. >> so the question was, we know the republicans in the past we had a shutdown not too long ago and there was reports that the republicans might do this again because there was damage to their reputation. but whatever damage they incurred with the public because it was temporary because they had a good mid-term election and add to the mix you have gop in-fighting and on the one side the team that wasn'ts the sequestration spending cuts and the other side with mccain and others who want defense spending. given all of that stuff in the mix, how do you see the republican party playing this. >> i think this will play out the last way the fights have played out with the republicans folding at the end. >> at the last minute. >> i think the key is not the october government shut down. but when the president made clear he would not give out successions for a debt limit increase and then the

republicans did blink. unlike a government shutdown we can have a shutdown but it is not a complete disaster for the economy. republicans if you get them privately, it could have severe negative effects on the financial system and the economy. but we won't hit the debt limit until october and november, and while republicans will fold they won't say in advance they will fold. they want to try to get little concessions out of it and make clear to conservatives they fought the good fight and tried to get something in exchange for the debt lime ity-- limit. as with the homeland security fight, they want this to get close to the wire but it will be the same thing. >> we didn't have to do this and be here with the terps of the loretta lynch, the democrats could have pushed this forward when they were in charge of the senate why didn't they do this

then? >> i find that strange. they had a imagine ort and they could move things through easily and they chose not to. one of the reasons play be they thought it was clear that loretta lynch would ultimately get through and i think it is true that she will get through and get confirmed. it is just a question of when. and so if the republicans hold this up for a few months and she's delayed, that is a few extra months that eric holder is attorney general. i don't know there is a loss so maybe that is why they chose to prioritize stuff. they did push things through the lame duck session so they had to decide whether to take up loretta lunch or other things that got lost in the discussion. >> good to have you on the show. and things got more complicated today with iran. and jurors look at a key piece of evidence in the boston bombing trial. and what happens when you marry up. the truth about the fairy tale endings.

developing now, world leaders scrambling to finalize a deal over iran's nuclear program. the pressure is mounting to do so with the deadline two weeks away. major obstacles still remain. details over inspections and when sanctions would be lifted

and how many years that would last still need to be resolved. and there are words with politico democrats would go against this complicating the issue. with pressure overseas and here at tomorrow can a deal get home. let's ask our persian gulf military analyst from brookings. this is the first time the both sides have met since the tom cotton "deer ayatollah" letter. will that affect the talks today? >> i think it could. both sides have been quick todown play it and the administration trying to dismiss it and saying this is an unruly congress getting out of hand and iran saying we don't think it is meaningful and that congress doesn't understand the u.s. constitution. but the fact of the matter is both sides have legislatures and hard-liners who oppose this

deal. and one of the biggest issues is on the iranian side. they are fearful that the sanctions will not remain lifted after president obama leaves office. and remember the president has not guaranteed what they would. he said we'll sign the agreement. can i issue waivers and i have that full authority from the congress and the agreement will remain binding on the next president. but the ayatollahs in iran have been very concerned that that won't be the case and the president's successor won't do so. i think the letter may reinforce the worry on their part. >> so when the dear ayatollah letter landed in iran what did the arab street say and what was their response? >> honestly toure, it was utter bee fuddlement. they don't understand our system of government. we do things that don't make a whole lot of sense to them. and their view -- the arab streets view has been that they are afratd the united states is

trying -- they are afraid the united states is trying to sell them out to the iranians. they think the united states is looking to cut a deal with the iranians in which -- by which the united states would basically be able to kind of turn things over to the iranians and let the iranians run the middle east the way we did under the shaw back before the iranian revolution. so when the u.s. congress comes out and issues this letter basically saying we don't support the president, they are not quite sure what to make of it. is this a sign there is a part of the u.s. government trying to fight back against this conspiracy deal or they don't know what to make of it. >> i don't think this country doesn't know what to make of it either. and you hit on this. the president's problem with congress is not just with republicans or this letter but with the number of democrats that have real concerns over the deal. heidi hide camp is one of the people and spoke with politico

and said the letter is inappropriate but does not diminish my support for the legislation. and moving forward, do you feel they have a strong argument there, they should have a role at the table? >> i do. i served a number of years in the white house, and i understand the executives' perspective and i believe the executives should be in power to conduct foreign policy but i also believe, look we live in a democracy. and when the united states of america commits to what would be a major policy change i think it is really important to have the american people through the vehicle of their representatives in congress on board. it is why i'm also a big fan of congressional declarations of war. i know it is old-fashioned, but when i think we do something very big in foreign policy we want to have the legislature on board. that is not to say i'm opposed or in favor of the deal. i want to see the deal first. but i agree the congress ought

to have a say in it. >> and on the heels of sect kerry's five-hour summit "the new york times" has a senior official saying the following, and i quote, we still hope to be able to get there but quite frankly we still don't know if we'll be able to. the official said on condition of on on imity, we don't know yet whether those pieces are just too hard. when you look at these final pieces kenneth what is the biggest hold up here. >> this is a big issue because the way the press and the administration were talking about it they are making these things out to be last little things that have to be tied up at the end. these are huge. these are the core elements of the deal. and it is obviously very hard to know exactly what the issue is going to be. i actually think that the biggest issues are on the iranian side. i think the iranians are still uncomfortable with what they see in front of them. and if i had to bet, my bet would be -- it is hard to know

what the iranians are thinking but the bet is the biggest issue is the duration of the deal. the president said we want ten years for the main provisions of the deal and immediately iranian foreign minister zarif said no way we can't accept it. so that is the hold-up. >> thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having us. and robert durst in court today after cotton a hot mic saying this. >> what did i do? killed them all, of course. >> wow! did he really kill them all? the latest twist is ahead. oh yea, that's coming down let's get some rocks, man. health can change in a minute. so cvs health is changing

he didn't kill susan burman and ready to go back to california. and he's upset because the local authorities are considering on filing charges on him here and holding him on. >> and with andrew blankstein in our l.a. bureau what do you got? >> obviously from this extradition hearing today, the defense is ready, authorities want him out in los angeles and then the question is are new orleans authorities going to try to keep him on local charges. when he does get out here to be charged with first-degree murder and then get arraigned, do they go to a grand jury which is standard here. one of the prosecutors on the case specializes in these very complicated circumstanceal alal -- circumstantial cases. this documentary on hbo gives

him circumstances and that is the question as this sets up. whether this will play out remains to be seen. >> and i watched that durst show last night and then i flipped through the channels and i say jay-z and beyonce and i thought how do they keep their love fresh and strong and deal with coming from different backgrounds. and jay-z grew up in the hood and beyonce. and that is important. and the class you're born into sticks with you and shapes even when you marry into more money and a far more financial secure life. and professor jessica moore. and tell us how class affects

us. >> even if we leave our class behind and the differences are the class of your past and how much money, power and predictability was in your past. so if you have a lot of money and power and predict ability in your past you want to manage things. because if you maca plan it can come -- maka plan you can make it come through. and if you don't make a plan it doesn't stick with you. and even after you go to college and mary someone -- marry someone from a different class. >> and why are we attracted to people from a different background or a different class. because maybe there is a part of their upbringing we missed out on and want a part of that on our own life or is it the theory that opposites attract? >> both. opposites attract, and because we like something in an else's background we didn't have in ours. so it is opposites attract because of our class differences. >> and jesse tell us about one

of the cross-class couples that you spoke with. what sort of tensions did they have as a result of coming from different back grounds. >> it is about how much you want to manage things versus going with the flow. couples had a different with money differences. do you want a budget or spend as you go along and feel that you can feel free from constraint of a budget. same kind of with children. do you want to raise them with a plan in mind or organize their daily life and structure their time, or do you want to let them kind of make their own schedule and let them make their own goals to some extent. >> when you talk about tensions in a marriage. one of the things that can come up i've been told is kids and so let's talk about the children in these types of marriages and relationships. what is the effect on the children of the mixed class marriages. do they tend to identify with one group more than the other? do they tend to be more proud of one group than the other? >> yeah. it is hard to know for sure.

in the boston marathon bombing. evidence the general public wasn't able to see only through court sketches but this was different. a chilly earling morning trip for jurors taken to see the boat in watertown where dzokhar tsarnaev was holed up for days. and a heroing account of what went down late that friday. ron mott is covering the trial for us outside of the courthouse in droupt boston. pretty extraordinary day. >> reporter: we are getting word that court has concluded testimony for today and the last witness we believe was the owner of the boat. no he was not there. i take that back. so the owner of the boat was not testifying today. we understood that he might be called at some point maybe tomorrow. but earlier this morning when we got here at 9:00 and realized the jury wasn't lear, we -- here we were told they were off-site looking at the boat.

there was discussions about whether they would be taken off site or certain portions of the boat would be cut and we knew there were gunshots in the boat itself because dzokhar tsarnaev when he was found that friday night was suffering from gunshot wounds but little did we know there were more than 100 shots, according to the media representative who was embedded with the court this morning, more than 100 bullet holes in the boat. how he managed to walk out with his life is remarkable. an the jury did get a chance to see the pencilled note on the boat where he he talked about being jealous of his brother who died in the shootout with police and dzokhar tsarnaev ran over his brother in that entire shootout on his way to that boat. much of the testimony today focused on the shootout in watertown where his brother was killed and there was a witness who lived on that block who testified earlier this afternoon about just how scary the scene was. he saw it from the second floor

window of his apartment and saw the brothers throwing bombs at the police officers. so it was quite the scene. and obviously people here in the city were on edge because even though tamerlan was killed that night, dzokhar tsarnaev went missing for the rest of that evening, all day that friday and then finally captured in that boat friday night. back to you. switching gears, turning to a new documentary lighting up the south by southwest festival down in austin and called rolling papers and following the first media covering the crazy world and the real world implications. take a look. >> we have a new culture of cannabis cannabis website called the cana bi siv t. the post is going out on a limb and trying this.

>> mitch dickman is the director and the media reporter join us join us from south by southwest. welcome and talk about the documentary. i looked at the kick starter when you were trying to get funding for the product and i noticed an interesting quote. this is not only a story about the legit hiation of a new business and it is also the story of how journalism finds new tools to stay relevant. it sounds like there was two story lines. did one take more priority than the others? >> no. i think we tried to walk the line between the two. we felt to give the depth to the film, we needed a strong story. journalists that are framing this story and to set it at a newspaper and having ricardo be the one framing this it was key to us. >> and it is fun and informing and ricardo, i love the way you come off and i love rye but what

they show is you are doing what journalism does, which is protecting consumers and informing people about their options in the world. and i love the story of how a certain edibles making is putting 100th of the thc is claiming he is. and you are not getting high and you find out he is putting barely any thc in the edibles and you are protecting consumers and that is what we should do. >> and you are right, when the manufacturer was putting out the bad products it was one1-5 hundredth, and.200 milligrams of thc and i take that seriously. and the actual ingestion is per flexing to people as well. and so we've done a number of zwroirs that -- a number of

stories that walk people through the process because this is now legal. it is as legal in colorado as alcohol. >> you said there was an educational component to this. but mitch there is also an emotional component. something that stood out to me was a young boy with leukemia and he's on chemotherapy and his mom decided to take him off of that and give him cannabis instead and there is still a stigma around patients deciding to give their kids cannabis when in reality that is far less powerful than what they were taking previously. talk to us about the story and that. >> that was a great find in the fitm and for brittany driver who does the pot and parenting to find the way cannabis touches everything, and touching parenting and these people are uprooting their lives and coming to colorado because they are trying to save their kid. so they will try anything and i think that cannabis is working for some a lot of times the movie -- they are somewhat

critical in the way it doesn't work in a miracle cure-all and for this one boy it did help and that is a compelling story. >> and one of the things you are taking a look at is the experience in uruguay, who also fully legalized cannabis consumption. talk to us about what their experience has been? >> it has been fascinating to follow that story because they've had legal weed since the '70s but what the previous president jose mojica did was take the onus on him and regulate it in hopes of cutting off the illegal drug trade and introducing a better medicine and recreational drug to the market so they federally regulated the sales of it. it is taking them longer to do than the states in colorado -- or in the u.s. even though uraguay is a tiny country of 3 million people. they are taking their time but being extremely cautious and i

don't think there is anything wrong with that. >> ricardo, you have a team of marijuana critics underneath you who are telling people this is what you'll get out of this this crush or what have you and i was doing criticism for a long time writing about music and you just sit and listen to the music and figure out what you want to say about it. marijuana, so i'm told sort of attacks your consciousness where you can't pay attention, so i'm curious, how are you a marijuana critic and understanding how to write about your experience when the marijuana itself is making it hard to pay attention? >> you know thankfully i am not a marijuana critic because i don't smoke pot, i only eat it. but i was fortunate to hire critics that are experts in this field and it is fun because they are portrayed in mitch's film the entire process. so you are there with jake as he's taking the first hit. you are there with rye as he's taking the first dry hit and then taking notes and the

documentary documentaries like if he likes to write his reviews when he's high. he doesn't. he takes the notes and feels it out and then when he is straight he writes the review. >> it is interesting that ricardo said he's not into marijuana, because when you are chosen to be the editor if memory serves your boss said well he doesn't know that much about marijuana because he's into the music scene so he knows about weed and i'm like what does that mean. is that insight or a stereo type. i don't know how to take that. >> ricardo, it is fun to watch the state of colorado because that was han a test state for how this will go and especially about the economics. talk about the impact this has had when it comes to money? >> it has been substantial. the sales and taxes raised from the sale especially of recreational weed in colorado in 2014 it didn't meet the expectations that the state had said but the governor was operating in a vacuum when his team did set those statistic

expectations. but what ended up happening, more than 700$700 million of pot was sold and that is recreational and medical and more than $70 million went to -- raised by taxes from rec and med. so substantial must bes, but at the same time if you speak with state legislators they are the first to say that is kind of a drop in the bucket compared to a state with $26 billion to $28 billion. >> and that is serious business. and i know when you took this job there were a lot of laughs and became a celebrity. what is the most surprising thing you learned over the last year covering marijuana? >> i think probably one of the most surprising stories we had all year and it took me by surprise was just edibles themselves. everything about them from the labelling, to the ingestion, to the accidental over-ingestion. we were talking about the

educational component earlier and we ran a story early on saying, if you are totally unfamiliar with edible marijuana, here are eight steps to properly dose yourself and it was a conservative and cautious way, but we just felt it was necessary because we were having people coming to colorado including new york times columnist marijuanaine ine-- maureen dodd who ruined their trip. >> if you give me a nice chocolate brownie, i would like that. >> where are you saying that to me? >> the pot expert blake. >> ricardo probably knows more. and thank you both very much. thank you. next it is march madness as you know and abby's got game. that is next. building aircraft,

like toure? or be like me and listen to an actual expert. we have one at the table with us now, friend of the show jordan schultz who also happens to be a post columnist and co-host of cup and schultz. with us now, jordan. i'm so excited this is about to start. i love this time of the year. i filled out my bracket this morning. but my cinderella story, i'm running for theutes. >> kentucky is hoping to go 40-0. we haven't had it since bobby knights crew. i don't think it is the right pick. i don't think i'm the only person in america not picking the cats. >> who are you picking? >> i like the dukies. >> how could you not pick kentucky? they are taller in all but one nba team and unlike every other team they are two starting five. so when your guys are getting tired, your new guys are coming

in to beat their first five. >> toure is right. they have -- >> what what what? >> toure is half right. they are nine mcdonald's all americans. and that has never happened. and what they do is they have two wave of guys. when their five guys or four guys, they say we'll row rate in. and john calipari. >> that is an amazing cohesion in the second unit. >> and i agree with you. but there is something to be said about the pressure that mounts every single game having not lost. i talked to anthony davis. >> the pressure because they haven't lost. the reason they are going to lose is because they haven't lost. what is this logic? >> in 2012 kentucky lost it. when they lost to vanderbilt in the s.e.c. final which kentucky didn't do, they helped them refocus and rededicate themselves. >> can't stay on top forever. >> so i like the dukies? >> what? duke. >> fifth title. >> jordan i have been miscast as the unknowledgeable

sportscast. so i'm playing ari. so let's go public service, for the people out there in an office pool and not experts in college basketball. what is your advice for them when they are filling out for the pool because you can look at the number ones is that a safe way to go and you have upsets. >> that is a lame way to go. >> what is the way to go in an office pool? >> my general rule and i've done well, my final four i like to be over 8 1/2. in terms of the seeds. so if you have a one -- two 1's and a 2 and a 3 -- >> so a combine number you want over 8 1/2. >> and the key with picking up a bracket, you can make mistakes early, but what you don't want is your lead eight or your sweet 1, don't lose those guys early. so make sure it is a team you like. if you are going to pick them -- >> how did you do last you're? >> once we got to the final

four i had connecticut. i won two out of the three brackets. one was a disaster admittedly so. >> you just >> if you go down the store and buy a lottery tickets, you have a better chance. >> you have to pick at least two 12-5 upsets. you have to have that. it happens every year. >> 12-5 like wyoming -- >> well i tell you how i do it. >> which is to go with my gut, and my gut tells me -- i graduated from the university of virginia, so i may as well pick them. >> i like gutsy. virginia is one of the best defenses in the country. the issue with them their best player just had an appendectomy. he's been playing, but is not healthy. >> kentucky is going to win, but let's put aside the tease. somebody, a couple guys step up and become a household name

show the nation they are the man, this el can perform under pressure. who will be one or two guys who we'll be talking summer. >> i have to start out with jalil oak fore. >> i'm picking duke because i think o-- okafor shoots 60% from the floor. he's a fantastic player. a kid out of chicago, he will be the number one pick in the draft. one more guy. >> >>. >> the senior is back this year if the badgers make a deep run and win their first national title, it was be because of kaminsky. >> i always love the cinderella stories. that's why it's so fun for people to watch. first of all, what are utah's chances? and second of all, who are the teams that surprise you that made it into the brackets?

>> utah they had a really nice year and -- >> making it easy. >> the past decade is rough. you have to give the head coach. he's done a great job. they are getting back to being a national powerhouse but i think they have a tough matchup. >> i don't think they win a game in the tournament. i was watching "i hate christian laettner" and why many americans hate duke. do you have any idea of why we hate duke? is it an intellectual pick? or do you like duke? >> i was tailing to tourre i actually care about duke losing than i do -- >> i'm getting that one second. teams -- i didn't think ucla or indiana should have gotten in but they're in. i do like byu. >> i'm a utah fan always way,

always been. >> i think with duke, there is a thought of spoil, there's always been that they have won four national titles they're always a dominant program, but with duke, you figure that guys have been villainous figures, and people love to hate champions. coach k, for being one of the best coaches of all time very villainous. >> do you actually root for duke? do you like them? >> i tell you this -- >> this is getting unbiased. >> i really respect coach k, and they won by 30 beat notre dame who just beat them again. that to me seeing them live their size i really was impressed. >> that's not what i'm talking about. do you like duke university and all that these stand for? that whole thing? >> i respect them. >> you do. >> i have come around on dukies. >> it make come down to duke and kentucky, and that will be very

intense. >> you talk about coach chasm k, and in college basketball i thought the coach really matters. >> i think a guy like coach k, talk about maximizing being prepared, they only have eight scholarship players. for the first time ever they dismissed one of their guys. they're not deep so i think he will have his guys very prepared. calipari, everybody criticizes him, but krzyzewski maximizing talent in a one-and-done format every single game i know -- i like arizona, charlie, don't worry. >> charlie is one of our great producers. stay with us because you and i have our own basketball adventure with a star player in the tourney. that's next, unfortunately for myself. hmm... fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that parker. well...

did you know auctioneers make bad grocery store clerks? that'll be $23.50. now .75, 23.75, hold 'em. hey now do i hear 23.75? 24! hey 24 dollar, 24 and a quarter, quarter now half, 24 and a half and .75! 25! now a quarter, hey 26 and a quarter, do you wanna pay now, you wanna do it, 25 and a quarter- -sold to the man in the khaki jacket! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. hey, you forgot the milk! that's lactaid®. right. 100% real milk just without the lactose. so you can drink all you want... ...with no discomfort? exactly. here, try some... mmm, it is real milk. see? delicious. hoof bump! oh. right here girl, boom! lactaid®. 100% real milk. no discomfort. and for a tasty snack that's 100% real dairy try lactaid® cottage cheese.

ideas come into this world ugly and messy. they are the natural born enemy of the way things are. yes, ideas are scary and messy and fragile. but under the proper care, they become something beautiful.

march madness is upon us but jordan and i hit the court for a new abby's adventure with jamal brown, he gave me some pointers. take a listen. >> i shoot like this. >> a little bit. ♪ . >> that's it. ♪

all right. you can catch the full escapade on the website. trust me it's one you do nonwant to miss. i was terrible at that but you were so embarrassed for me i felt sorry for you. >> actually i was a little embarrassed. it was like this is not going well. >> how bad was it? >> i don't think even the knicks -- >> even the knicks? >> or the liberty will be calling you. >> there's a lot of room for growth. >> that's huge. a huge up side. >> and made me appreciate what basketball players do. it is a tough job. jordan thank you. that's it it for "the cycle."
