kyrie irving's teammates are vaccinated. but kyrie irving has chosen not to get vaccinated. is he not playing this season at all? >> as of right now he's not. john, i'm told that kyrie irving has no plans to get vaccinated. so if that's the case there are only three routes for him this upcoming year. he's going to get half of his game checks this season, which amounts to $16 million, but he's leaving another $16 million on the table as well as potential $185 million extension. so he stands to lose about $200 million by taking this stance by not deciding to take the covid-19 vaccine, which, again, is a new york city policy and requirement for athletes to play in indoor gyms, public gyms. the nets got good news last week when the league ruled that their practice facility is a private office building, but obviously barclay center in brooklyn is not exempt from that. and so kyrie irving will either -- if he decides not to get vaccinated will sit the entire season ultimately wait for the mandate to get lifted which city hall officials have told me there is no expectation of that,

i don't want to misrepresent our relationship but i know kyrie irving a little bit. i don't know that he's going to back down off of this. i'm sure the nets have tried a lot of things, probably things that we don't even know about. i've sure they have tried to get him to talk to medical personnel. around the league itself looking at his peers, his team is vaccinated so whatever information he needed to change his mind is already there, so i think he's just chosen to make this stance, and it seems like at this point he'll willing to see this all the way through even if it means him losing a great deal of money and potentially his nba career. >> appreciate your time as always. thanks so much for your perspective. >>> pour fuel on the fire. the police in michigan slamming former president trump for calling on supporters to protest the 2020 election results in the state capitol today. yet republican leaders continue to stand by trump as he launches new attacks on democracy >>> plus, it could give investigators new and crucial information on the killing of gabby petito. o

like kyrie irving, you played your sport, football, at the highest level. irving has said vaccine status should remain private. what do you say in response? >> well, thank you for having me, wolf. i think that vaccine mandates in professional sports is something that's good. i really do. i think there's been enough evidence, enough stats, enough peer reviewed articles from comparable sort of demographics to professional athletes like in the nba that show the side effects of getting the vaccine are minimal and pale in comparison to the deleterious health consequences one would face with high impact collisions like the sport where played on sundays or the wear and tear professional athletes like kyrie irving have to face. i know he has questions and concerns and we should take those things seriously, but i firmly believe athletes like kyrie irving who are intelligent enough to make good decisions on a day to day basis, should be given the experts to speak at his level so he makes the best decision for himself and his team because he is a part of the team, and

kyrie irving was not falling in line with that plan. so the team made their move. now the move is up to irving. >> all right, coy wire for us. thank you. >> wow, i feel like $17 million would be an inducement, but you know, that's me. >>> let's get more on the texas governor, greg abbott's ban on vaccine mandates. let's bring in steve adler, the mayor of austin. thank you so much for being here. as we know, governor abbott has now issued this order banning vaccine mandates, even for private businesses throughout texas. how much confusion is this causing since it's in direct contradiction to president biden's plan? >> it's causing, alisyn, a lot of confusion. and it also seems to be inconsistent not only with the federal orders coming from the president but this is texas. i mean, this is a pro-business state, and for us to be telling businesses in their own businesses what they can or can't do in order to be able to protect their employees and their customers, just doesn't seem to be keeping with the freedoms and liberties that we talk about here in texas. i think i

we're looking at a situation now with kyrie irving and the nba where he wants to step up in the past and be a voice. you're using it in the wrong position now. we need this vaccine, we all lived through this for the past year and a half going on two years now. follow the science. all of these terms like free thinking or i need to do more research, what exactly does that mean? what can google do in your 20 minute search that is going to make you smarter than scientists and doctors who have done this for years? so you can be that voice, getting people to get their shots, but, no, you have this flawed stance that you feel like your rights are being taken away when getting shots to go to school, to go to work, to go to college and universities, and something we have been doing for decades. and in terms for dave chappelle, yes, you know, people do agree with him and feel like he should be able to say what he wants to because, you know, that's what comedy has always been. but just because comedy has always been that, that doesn't mean it has to continue to be that. we all have to grow and

similar with kyrie irving in brooklyn. that's to me the strangest thing about this. it's one thing to say we're all about the team but say, yeah, that's okay, just don't play the home games and bail out on your teams. i don't want to overstate it too much. there are 95% of nba players are vaccinated. i would feel very fortunate and happy to walk around the world and know 95% of the people around me are vaccinated because i don't know that. >> it's a very important point. we're going to dig into that in a second. christina, let's talk about lebron for a moment. he's been so outspoken, his voice so powerful, so respected. is he trying to have it both ways by saying i'll be a leader on some issues but not on this one because it's so personal? >> i think so. we know lebron james spends over $2 million a year on his body, your nutritionist and trainers and things. this is a brotherhood. i think he's cautious about stepping on other people's toes. however, if you talk to any medical professional, they will tell you that 99% of the people in the hospital right now intubated

somewhat kyrie irving out of new york. some think he is crazy for this decision. he stands for what he believes in. brent: i wonder what his doctor -- it has -- it is hard to imagine his doctor has told him it is a good decision to stay unvaccinated. what about other professional leagues around the world? >> we can talk about england's premier league. it attracts millions and millions. a lot of those players are refusing to be vaccinated. some teams, the local government and the premier league themselves had this promotion to encourage more players to be vaccinated. some believe their bodies are strong enough. others oppose and support the vaccination. a liverpool player said 99% of his team is vaccinated. he can't understand why people are not. the clock is taking for kyrie irving. brent: that is exactly right. thank you. the u.s. gymnastics olympic committee is defending its handling of the sex abuse cases surrounding former team dr. larry nasser. several top gymnasts who suffered sexual abuse are calling for the u.s. committee to be dissolved. simone biles amon

no real proof that kyrie irving's health is in jeopardy if he does not take the vaccine. the guy is 29 years old, in great physical condition, his chances of being damaged by covid are merely -- it is the, same as being struck bybe lightning, it's just not going to happen to him, but he is being forced, and he is being forced to bow out and being forced to end willing to be a voice for all these other americans and force a conversation that needs to happen because no one else is standing up for these people, and dave chappelle has, hold on, as a black man, and as someone with traditional male values, i don't know if dave is a christian or muslim or whatever, but he hasn't male energy. he is being forced into the closet aboutwh his beliefs. again, thosent of us with traditional male energy, male values, christian values, we are having to conceal who we are in this modern american culture, and it is good to see dave chappelle pushed back, and so i think we are starting to see in a lot of entertaining -- we saw with nicki minaj, hey, with the vaccine, hey, this isn't fair, b

>> when it comes to kyrie irving, it is always about kyrie irving. this is the third team he's been on that he basically blown up. he's doing with the celtics again. it is the same kind of selfishness i've seen in his career before hand. if he was out there and wanted to be useful, he would encourage people to get vaccinated. instead, he's making it all about himself as usual. it is hard to use him as a sort of model in this conversation. there is a lot of different groups out there not getting vaccinated for a lot of different reasons. we hear about the political reasons because they are trump supporters. you mention pregnant mothers or people who have given birth are worried about the effects. mentioning not everyone has doctors to go to to give them the right information. what's also happening and we have to acknowledge this. there is an entire news network and infrastructure pushing out the message that these vaccines are dangerous. telling his viewers every single night don't get vaccinated. he works for a company that mandates these vaccines. t

one player in the nba, kyrie irving, has gotten a lot of attention. he decided he witness not play -- the nets decided he will not play. he addressed why. >> i don't believe that i'm retiring. don't believe i'm going to give up this game for a vaccine mandate. this is not a political thing here. this is not about the nba. it's not about any organization. it's about my life and what i'm choosing to do. >> cool, right? you make a decision. there are repercussions for said decision. unfortunately, everything is political in this day and age. what's your sense? 95% of players are vaccinated. kyrie irving is the front page of every story for two weeks. where does that leave us? >> there's a power in the sports world. also in the cultural world and political world to speaking out and saying, i'm going to resist a government mandate or company mandate, even if it seems like kyrie and other people are essentially putting their own personal interests above community interests. there's this idea that you can stand out and say, i'm going to fight back and be the

kyrie irving is not the modern-day muhammad ali. he's a famous person using his famous person platform to put others at risk of a deadly airborne disease that has wreaked havoc on the human race and disproportionately on people who look like kyrie irving. muhammad ali, on the other hand, took a political stance as a conscientious objector to the vietnam war, saying he refused to go to war and shoot my brother or some darker people or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful america. ali risked going to prison because of his stance. prison. here's the other thing. muhammad ali supported vaccines. even doing a psa encouraging them for new yorkers in 1978. >> the law says if your kids don't have their shots for dangerous diseases like mumps, measles and polio they aren't getting in the school. the law also says they must go to school. so you have no choice. get your kids their shots. >> so no, kyrie irving is the literal opposite of muhammad ali. he is a person who once said the world is flat. and who is now being used as a

kyrie irving could lose millions depending on how many games he's forced to sit out. kyrie says he is standing his ground against his own team. >> what would you do? if you felt uncomfortable going into the season when you were promised he would have exemptions or would not be forced to get the vaccine? i'm staying grounded in what i believe in. it's as simple as that. it's not about being anti-vaccine, or being on one side or the other. it's just about being true to what feels good for me. i chose to be on vaccinated, and that was my choice. i ask you to respect that choice. >> katie: he's also making an argument that the goalpost moved on him, so the season started and they changed the rules, now there is a mandate. >> greg: he made his decision with the best intentions. every step is dictated by lawyers who are operating with the ominous threat of everything. the media has turned this into a left-right thing, and suddenly he becomes a sacrificial lamb. you got to go back to how disconnected our actions are from risk. it does not matter that an unvaccinated child ha

kyrie irving no longer playing or practicing. he now actually has the time to do his own research, though we have no idea what that even looks like. what has the reaction been to the nets making this decision? >> i think the fans are outraged at kyrie irving that he's not going to play. the nets are one of the best teams in the league and have a real good shot at the championship and a better shot with him. on another level, more important than basketball, there's a lot of concern about the message that this sends to particularly minority communities. basketball players are of course huge role models. there was a big push early on in in the vaccination process to get nba players vaccinated and they are now up to 95% with irving and a few others the notable exceptions. and there have been people like michael jordan, lebron james, kareem abdul-jabbar who have said they are 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 vaccinatio
