here is what we know. 30-year-old kareem atkins died. he's survived by his wife and 2-month-old.an was injured and darrell garrett was shot in the back. he's been a deputy there since 2018. his fiance telling cnn that the three men were very good friends. take a listen. >> they're really close. everybody called them the three amigos. they are -- they call each other brothers. they're best friends. the love that they have for each other, would you think that they grew up from kids even though they just met when they all got on the force. but they love each other so much. it hurts me to see that now their friendship has to be broken and that they have lost a friend. >> the precinct constable tells me that they've set up gofundme pages for all three deputies. now authorities believe that the suspect in this case is a man in his 20s and victor and alisyn, this search is still ongoing. no arrests have been made. >> thank you. >>> okay. now to washington and the ongoing impasse over president biden's infrastructure and social safety net agenda. so this battle between senators bernie sa

and his name was kareem mushad sultan khan. he was an american. he was born in new jersey. he was 14 years old at the time of 9/11. he served his country and he gave his life. now, we have got to stop polarizing ourselves in this way. >> congresswoman, this really spoke to me, because it showed how the general really rose above in so many different situations, spoke out when others were unwilling to do so. >> yes. he did. duty, honor, country, is not adequate to describe this man, although those three words were just emblazoned on his soul. i think you have to add humility and you also have to add he was mindful of the example he was setting. let's understand, he finally came out as a republican and yet he endorsed obama for president in 2008. and he understood the value of a guy, a son of immigrants, who because he was in rotc and enlisted in the military, became the role model for blacks who wanted to be soldiers or, as he used to say, youngsters who want to be soldiers. he understood the significance of that his whole life. i just can't help thinking that if he had said

their opposition to the shot but for some, that policy doesn't go far enough including nba legend kareemccines. this is what he told my colleague chuck todd, thursday. >> we need to take all the precautions we can in order to not be vulnerable to the virus. anyone who has not made the effort to educate themselves on this issue is irresponsible and should not be allowed to play. >> a story this week in "rolling stone" really shed light on how deep the divisions are. the headline reads, quote, antivaxxers are trying to push around the league, and it's working. joining me now matt sullivan sports reporter who wrote the story and also the author of "can't knock the hustle." not jay-z's song. this is a book. inside the season of protest, pandemic, and progress with the brooklyn nets superstars of tomorrow. thanks for your time, buddy. that last part of your headline is really interesting. explain how the antivax players are pushing around the league and why it seems to be working. >> so the nba told me thursday night it has now passed a conservative nfl with 90% of players vaccinated but my r

so, let's just say he's not exactly kareem abdul-jabbar. [ laughter ] that's the line, i have to do "re research." that means "i need to read up on my facebook memes." robin lopez of the orlando magic, robin's twin brother brook is in the league, played on the milwaukee bucks, they won the championship last year. he had a little fun with this, slyly poking the anti-vaxers on magic media day. >> i'm still not sure milwaukee actually won the championship. i didn't watch. i wasn't there, i didn't watch the game myself. so -- i guess i'll go off the basis of -- there's got to be some kind of proof. i'm going to do my own research and figure out if they won it. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, that was a lay-up, a reverse, and a slam dunk. honestly, we're in so much danger because of these nitwits doing their own research. not just from covid. according to a new study, if we don't work to fight climate change people under 40 will experience an "unprecedented life" of climate change disasters, twice as many wildfires, seven times as many heat waves. and three times as ma

. >> as we're kareeming once again through debt ceiling drama, which always, always in the past for me, always contained the lack of suspension about what the final outcome was because of course, the congress was going to move the debt ceiling or suspend the debt ceiling ordeal with it in a way that would avoid default but when you have one party in the senate that -- as far as i can tell accepts the label crazy and seems to think that's the way to profit politically with trump voters is to appear to be crazy and reckless and dangerous like donald trump is just a little tricky to try to figure out what happens next. >> yeah, it sure is and, you know, i was there in the senate in 2011. ten years ago when he had our last major debt ceiling crisis where we came within a few days of defaulting and we reached a deal at the last minute but, you know, what's different about now versus then is that we were engaged in, you know, active, you know, open negotiations in 2011, you know, in the weeks leading up to the default. right now, there is nothing going on. mitch mcconnell is not making any d

and there have been people like michael jordan, lebron james, kareem abdul-jabbar who have said they vaccinated. in the case of abdul-jabbar saying it's irresponsible for athletes not to do this because so many people in minority communities where the vaccination rates are disproportionately low look up to these people as role models. there's that. kyrie also has not really explained in detail in a coherent way why he's doing this. he says it's a private matter. we know that he's been active in other social justice matters over the years, so there's that. but he hasn't sat down and answered questions and really explained this. he may never will, but he might at some point. so there's that and this also fits into something of a pattern. there's a context for this. you'll remember last year, kyrie irving missed a number of games and practices for, quote, unquote, personal reasons, and he was seen on social media doing things, gatherings on masks and so forth. he's seen as something of a bit of a loose cannon, but a principal person. there's not a lot of outage at the nets because they
