there is not the caitlin clark frenzy there was all season long.that, i really do not, but the wnba needs to figure that out. professional basketball resumes in england and scotland after a summer when its very future seemed in doubt. the league has been restructured with some frantic recruitment over the last few months. amongst the new arrivals is the american charles thompson. for inspiration, he can to look to his father, who twice boxed for the heavyweight title of the world. our sports correspondent joe wilson has the story. charles thompson, new basketball professional in leicester, nicknamed the bear. tony thompson from orphanage childhood to world title contender. he fought vladimir klitschko, twice known as the tiger. thompson and son. so he didn't really. start boxing until he was probably about 30. but i mean, he never let it get down. he never was like, oh, i started late. if i started early, i could have did this. if i start earlier, i could have did that. he never had the type of mindset and it's just always a push through mindset. s

>> norah: caitlin huey-burns,

>> caitlin, one of the forces that we have to battle is disinformation. that these smuggling organizations perpetrate. and this individual was misinformed deliberately with respect to how he could access relief from the persecution that he suffered in his home country. >> that's right. but did he have another option available to him? >> yes he did. >> what was it? >> well, we have a refugee system. and remember, and this is a subject of debate as well, an individual who is fleeing persecution, the goal is to reach a safe country. and some, and this is a debate that i have on an ongoing basis, the question is that once an individual reaches a safe country, should they be able to continue on their journey from safe country to save country to save country, to ultimately reach the safe country of their choice? when we are speaking with humanitarian relief, especially when it is acute and urgent, the goal of our system should be to provide an individual with a safe place. and then, the ultimate placement of that individual after the exigency has been addressed

then angel harassed and caitlin clark, they are standing like caitlyn clark. she had to say there and not what was it? she didn't get mvp she'd get something in there like all these cameras in her face and she's a young 20 something woman and she's like, it makes me want to be better. i want to be a better player. this is our the political leaders could learn more from these two women being able to say, oh, i think so. you know what i want to i want to one more layer to this discussion because caitlin clark does she burns my soul and i have to admit that whether the simple fact that yes martin luther king, and dawn staley and my household. >> but i will say this, caitlin clark has done an amazing job at handling the scrutiny in handling the press. and one of the layers that i will add on to this, in this a little bit different from the way we discuss race in american politics. is that the man who discussed the wnba, specifically shannon sharpe and stephen a smith, just don't know about women's basketball and when you have that layer of anti-intellectual debate

i guess the context here that the wnba players union is driving at is that caitlin clark is has there been a number of physical plays in which she has been hurt and there is a, you didn't say this and there was no suggestion that you were believing this but there are people out there who think that there is resentment towards caitlin clark for any number of reasons exactly. >> right and that has run rampant. on the internet. and shockingly, the internet that says pool that it is twitter there have been absolutely horrible things said about dijonai carrington obviously, a black woman. there have been terrible things said about caitlin clark, their terrible things said about me, terrible things said about you. but this helen, not about me. >> snow but this has been but no joking. >> yeah. you and i as white people, we have no idea what it's like to be. >> oh, no, of course. and deal with that on the internet. horrible. that's in my brain 24/7 years sports journalist. what is your reaction to the players union statement accusing you of being in decent insincere unprofessional. i mean, ho

we heard caitlin clark, though denouncing some of what was said. the race has comments by who she calls trolls instead of fans but her response has also shifted from the start of the season, which he said, quote, i can't control that what do you think is behind her evolution i do believe that especially with i've been able to talk to some of her coaches, her high school coach, her her her her college coach, and some of her friends and former teammates she grew up in iowa. >> they didn't have these issues. caitlin clark's number one priority has always been to play basketball. she is baller, a very fierce competitor. this was never an issue for her and so when you ask someone who is and let me just remind everyone, let's level set. these ladies are 21 and 22-years-old, 22-years-old. and you're still trying to find their way in terms of what they do in the wnba, they weren't necessarily kaitlan more specifically, wasn't ready to talk about race because it wasn't, wasn't in her realm of knowledge. it wasn't something she had to deal with. it wasn't ne

okay, so uh caitlin, in your opinion uh, what does uh this uh help that syrians are? offering mean in the bigger picture, well in the bigger picture, we have seen as you mentioned the breaking news, syria has offered it earlier today, kuwait and qatar has even offered assistance to lebanies, it's it's look, when syria first started off as your guest farah mentioned 10 years ago with daesh, lebanon was there to help, lebanon and syria have always been neighbors and our borders have always been... opened, no matter the war, no matter the difficulty, we have always been assisting each other, and i think that situation will continue. okay, we have some breaking news coming in, smoke is rising from the vicinity of kariot shamona settlement and the northern parts of the occupied territories, following some explosions, has be definitely proving that is quite capable of targeting areas deep inside the occupied territory. do you believe uh caitlyn that um the israelies expected this? well actually just this morning they were mentioning that it was a it was rather quiet night a

uh, but it left caitlin clark with a black eye.ck almost as good as she gets. and as she should. and so yesterday afternoon, dejohnette revealed that she'd received some really ugly, abusive email. and that's where this whole alyssa thomas thing came out after the game, when she was talking about what was going on, when the wnba then weighed in and said, you know, we're going to we've reported all of this to security, and if we need to, we'll get law enforcement involved. they're somewhat fortunate right now in that caitlin clark's season is over. um, so i would think some of that would be tempered. some of the hate, hate and vitriol and nastiness would be tempered a bit going forward. uh, people are accustomed to these teams. they know these players. um, you know, there isn't the caitlin clark frenzy that there was all season long. i don't know how you get a handle on that, i really don't. um, but the wnba needs to figure that out. cindy byron there from the washington post. and we'll stay with basketball because the professional

they put that same on caitlin clark.ut on caitlin clark that she must be there is. any sort of inkling that she is not is why they are panicking. what you make of that? >> you have to blame white women for that. in 2020, they went against their own interests in 2016 and voted for donald trump against hillary clinton. if to put the blame on those white women voters but it's funny because in taylor swift and lynn clark would have endorsed donald trump, maggot would be jumping for joy. they created fake ai images of taylor swift and endorsing donald trump which is what led her to step out there and say, no, let me clear the record really quick, especially after the vice president, for lack of a better term, wiped her -- with donald trump on the debate stage. >> it's very true, i mean the reality is, the cultural impact of women's basketball just ratcheted up in the last year or so, suddenly people are being attended to the wnba and culturally, angel reese is more of the culture as far as black culture is concerned. it is in

caitlin, who both firsthand and secondhand reports saying this stuff is happening. so they very clearly meaning the people on the ground dealing with this think that it is happening. and i think that it's important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this stuff for themselves. when you have a lot of people saying, my pets are being abducted or geese at the city pond are being abducted and slaughtered right in front of us, this is

>> caitlin?y fair point, but nobody's calling my office and saying that they saw bigfoot. what they're calling and saying is we're seeing migrants kidnap our dogs and cats and city officials aren't doing anything about it. now again, i have a responsibility as a united states senator. i think the media has a responsibility as an institution that cares about truth, to actually take people seriously when they say their lives have been ruined by this migrant crisis and again, if every single thing that the media says about this story is false, the verifiable facts are that this community has had their lives destroyed by 20,000 migrants coming in and uprooting life again, officials said no credible evidence of the claim, but senator j.d. vance, thank you for joining us with your debate reaction. jake, back to you thanks. >> so much. interesting comment. i'm looking at a new york times story from eight days ago about the immigration crisis in springfield and the problems created there, saying we have

and interestingly, jessica caitlin clark had not scored any points to that to that point in the game, which is really unusual. and she had zero points in that first half. but what she was doing was breaking a record as a rookie. that is the wnba record for single-season assists. this is not a rookie record. this is the record that has been lasting all these years. actually, it was last year that it was broken by a woman named alyssa thomas and caitlin clark comes into her first season and breaks it and she has two more games to continue. and yuan 317 assists was the mark. she's a three-to-one and counting. and by the way, she came back and scored 18 points in the second half and almost led indiana to a victory over the two time defending champion las vegas aces four point loss for this upstart indiana team that's playing so well. now, with caitlin clark at the helm as the point guard, but as a great score here, she is assisting, giving passes, two other teammates who score. and that is now, of course what she has the record for. >> it is incredible. the record. she continues to smash
