it was, and i have been a republican when it was bad. >> he didn't get a nomination, but he did get a volkswagen nomination. >> everybody wins. >> jeanne moos, cnn. >> i will hit the grounds running, come out swinging and end up winning. >> new york. >> ac 360 starts right now. good evening, everyone, we have a big night ahead. starting with breaking news, a 360 exclusive, the mayor of hoboken, new jersey already accused new jersey governor chris christie withholding super storm sandy relief money. she's already taken fire for saying what she has. she talked to federal investigators over the weekend. now only on this program, the mayor reveals documents that she says help back up her case. in a moment, can you see for yourself, decide for yourself, first, how we got here. >> it's an ultimatum of epic political proportions.

support our development project or lose critical hurricane relief funding. chris christie's lieutenant governor calls it false. >> being a sandy victim myself makes the mayors allegations particularly offensive to me. >> dawn zimmer described a scene to candy crowley right out of a movie. she was approached last may, threatened to withhold sandy money, unless the governor supported a plan in her town. >> she said this was a direct message from the governor. >> that is a direct tie to christie much more than any allegation in bridge gate. >> the governor's version of our conversation is not only false,

but it is illogical, and does not with stand scrutiny when all of the facts are examined. >> a christie spokesman said, it's very clear partisan politics are at play here, as democratic players with the political axe to grind come out of the woodwork and try to get their faces on television. hoboken's mayor had publicly supported her republican governor in the past. zimmer provided private journal entries to cnn telling a different story. she also gave the u.s. attorney investigating how sandy funds were used. zimmer wrote at the time of christie, i thought he was something different. this week i found out he's cut from the same corrupt cloth i had been fighting for the last four years. being something different is christie's political calling card. sources who attended this past weekend. the way he's handled scandals so far, should make them more

confident in him, not less. >> he said to those donors, if i ever put myself up for a national office, you and everyone have an absolute right to know how i deal with problems. lightning will strike. >> but he also privately announced he's putting any potential 2016 race for president on hold for a year. republican strategist anna navarro attended several florida events. >> talking to these billionaires, people who chris christie will need if he wants to run for president. what's your sense of how they feel about all this? >> i think chris christie has taken the initiative, putting 2016 on pause. i think this buys some time for other potential candidates who may be deciding what they do. and not be at risk of losing donors and activists that commit to christie. >> allegations along with the bridge scandal, reinforced the notion that political poison to chris christie, charge fair or not that he is a bully. in so far as the bridge story is

concerned, the facts are yet from complete. dawn zimmer joins us with what could be new evidence. i appreciate you buying with us, mayor. you sent a letter to governor christie on april 23rds that you provided us, we're showing it on the screen. asking for funding for pumps, to help the flooding problem in hoboken, i want to read part of what you said, you said to the governor, just as shore towns are not being asked for development in exchange for protecting from future storms, the solution cannot be dependent on future development. this was sent before your meeting with the lieutenant governor, does this mean you felt pressure already about future development? >> various meetings that i had with our administration, i did feel that there was a lot of discussion about development. in those meetings, it was not a direct connection made, but there was pressure, and so, i do

think that while -- i think what's interesting about what the lieutenant governor said today is, she says that my -- it's illogical what i said, and when you look at the documents, you look at the letters, that i've written, can you see that it wasn't illogical at all. it's actually a progression leading up to something where they wanted to send me, give me a very direct message, because they felt i wasn't getting the message clearly enough, so she was sent in. >> people close to the lieutenant governor, as you said, the lieutenant governor called the allegation complete. i want to read to you what a source close to the lieutenant governor said about your conversation. kim, meaning the lieutenant governor, she was talking about redevelopment and making investments in hoboken. she remembers zimmer pressing kim for more money. and she remembers pressure for

aid for sandy. are you saying this letter disproves that? >> that's the first time i'm hearing that. i didn't realize that she -- she didn't actually say that directly today, but i mean this letter makes it clear that i was the one on april 23rd, sent them a letter, and very clearly said, you can't connect the two, and it's not fair to connect the two. and that was part of the conversation that we had. i said, you know, are you saying after she said to me, you know, that you have to move ahead with the rockefeller project, i said, is any other town being asked to do development in exchange for help with the flooding? and her answer was, well, the shore brings in $38 billion. so she was the one connecting -- she very clearly was connecting the development with the sandy aide in our conversation, and i made it clear -- it's eironic she's coming around saying that, when i sent a letter on april

23rd saying these two things are not connected and that's not fair. >> you're saying, you point blank said to her, is any other town being asked to link development to sandy aids. you made that linkage clear that was your interpretation of what she was say something. >> she did not dispute it. she restated the fact that, i know it's not fair, these things shouldn't be connected but they are. that's in the journal entry that i gave to -- >> you're saying, these shouldn't be connected but they are? >> yes. >> were those her words? >> that's what i recall, that's what i wrote at the time, i wrote the journal entry a few days after the meeting with her. >> also for the first time now, we're seeing another letter you sent that you provided us on may 8th to the governor saying you were stunned you weren't getting the funding requests. that's two days before you had the meeting with lieutenant governor. what is that second letter. what do you believe it shows. what do you believe it proves?

>> back to her statement that it's all illogical, you look at all the events together, you can see it was a progression. it was a progression of pressure, and she was sent in to really make that final message to me on may 8th, there's a few important things that happened. on may 8th, there was a planning board decision, the planning board voted down the zoning that the rockefeller group wanted for their property. and on may 8th, we had severe flooding and the letter i sent to the governor showed pictures of the severe flooding we had again in hoboken. and i -- i -- on may 8th, i sent a letter saying, that these things cannot be -- that we really need the funding and that basically i had received my office had received notice that we were not going to believe receiving funding, i was writing saying, i hope this is not the final decision, we really need help. that happens on wednesday may 8th. the planning board meeting, the

letter to the governor saying, please, we really need help, i'm hearing we're not going to get hazard mitigation funding. i hope that's not the case. >> do you believe the may 10th -- >> two days later, their office calls friday afternoon and says, we want to do a sandy business ehaven't on monday? i feel like 10:00 in the morning the timing seemed strange. we had already gone the opening for at least a month before, but certainly wanted to welcome her. >> her reason for coming down was specifically in response to this letter of may 8? >> i do. i do believe it. i believe it was related. i think that she -- that event was created so that she could come and have the opportunity to make air very clear message to me. >> you've done two interviews i believe this weekend.

you hadn't mentioned these letters before, why now? >> these letters were provided. they were provided to msnbc, and i think steve may have brought them up in his show. >> conversation? >> yeah. there's a lot of information, there's a lot of documents, there's a lot of issues around the connection between the port authority and who funded the study, and the connection with david samson and wolf and samson, i know it's complicated for the public to understand, but you know, in -- really the bottom line is, that week, that week of may 8th, that day, there was some important things that happened. and right after that time frame, when i send this letter saying, i can't believe this is really true, we're not going to get hazard funding. when the planning board voted down the zoning that the rockefeller group wanted, well then in -- the governor's -- the lieutenant governor's office calls on monday, they come, and she delivers a very clear message, because i think they felt i wasn't getting the

message clearly enough. and they wanted to make it clear to me. >> i want to talk specifically about what she said to you. we have to take a quick break, we're going to have more with the mayor of hoboken. tweet us using #ac 360. the threat to turn the winter olympic games into a blood bath in order to prevent one.

"stubborn love" by the lumineers did you i did. email? so what did you think of the house? did you see the school ratings? oh, you're right. hey babe, i got to go. bye daddy! have a good day at school, ok? ...but what about when my parents visit? ok. i just love this one... and it's next to a park. i love it. i love it too. here's our new house... daddy! you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen.

welcome back, we heard the mayor of hoboken, new jersey. before the break we were talking about the days leading up to the lieutenant governor's statement. the governor's office did not issue a specific statement, but they questioned the timing of this, your conversation was may 10th, the first letter is dated

april 23rd, they question why this is coming out now, saying you gave interviews before, and this didn't come out. >> as far as these letters? >> yeah. >> i mean, these letters were provided to msnbc, and this is just further highlight iing the progression, the pressure that i felt, and sort of connecting the dots, so to speak. when she's saying that its illogical, these letters, they -- they're further demonstration of what was happening and how it was really connected. but the bottom line is, the reason she came, and she said this to me. you know, i stand by my word. i mean -- >> when she said it to you, what was your immediate initial response? and your immediate. what was going through your mind? >> i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe that she was saying what she was saying, i

mean, and she very clearly said these things shouldn't be connected but they are. it's not right. and if you tell anyone i will deny it. >> she said that? >> yes. >> this is not something you forget, when the lieutenant governor tells you in a parking lot, if you tell anyone, i'll deny it, i was very upset, i did a your honoral entry a few days later. >> she said this came directly from christie? >> she said, yes, the rockefeller project is very important to the governor, i was with him on friday night. i don't know all the details. i started to explain some challenges i'm facing on the ground. i want to move the process forward. that's the challenge, eye have found myself in meetings explaining to the christie administration, can we all get together, be careful here?

we can't have a conversation about what the plan is for the rockefeller group, because it hasn't been designated, it's my job as the mayor of hoboken to follow that redevelopment law. the mayor and the city council we are the ones responsible for implementing that law. >> so when you see the lieutenant governor in a press conference announcing point blank, your memory of the conversation is offensive, completely inaccurate. and as a victim of sandy, she's offended, you're saying she's lying? >> well, i -- yeah, i'm -- she said she would deny, and she's denying it, part of me is not surprised, and my reaction is, you're offended? how do you think i feel, and everyone in hoboken feels? we haven't been given that much funding. and we have been told there's a connection between the two when there's a push to get one particular project through. and development in hoboken, we

have to do it very carefully. we are only one square mile. there's only two small roads into the north end of hoboken, we're talking about a 30 acre area, there's a push to move ahead with a four acre area to give 2 million square feet to one property owner, the rockefeller group. i have a property owner that's been there for decades, they own nine acres, it's my job to be fair. that's all i'm saying. >> you have subsequently tweeted positive things about governor christie. why would you do that if you felt he was strong arming you? >> i felt torn about this? he has done very good things for hoboken, i mean, i think he's done terrific things for the state overall. i do think that he has been a great governor and i support him on the 2% cap, the arbitration,

these are things that really have helped the state, they need to continue to help the state. his administration was tremendous in helping us with the hospital. >> to not mention this sooner and now mention it, people say this smacks of politics. to you -- are you saying you didn't mention it because you thought he did some good things in general? were you concerned, were you afraid to mention it? >> i didn't think people would believe me. and also i didn't want -- they didn't make their final decisions on the funding until much later and so i wanted to -- you know, i wanted to keep some chances out there to try to get the funding for ohoboken. if i were to come out and make these accusations, i would hurt our chances in getting the funding. >> what is it like to make these accusations? >> it's a challenge.

i'm someone who got into politics because i care about my town. i was a stay at home mom before i got into politics. i wanted to bring a park to our neighborhood. which is something we're about to make happen. i need to keep my voice out there and have people know i'm doing this because i care about my town. >> is it scary? >> it's hard, because obviously there's very powerful people across the country all giving their opinions on me. it's ironic i have had experience dealing with the national media and international stories because of something the governor was part of making happen peter camrado getting arrested and going to jail. that's an investigation the governor started as u.s. attorney. he went to jail for something --

for really pushing, promising to expedite development projects. >> has anyone pushed you to come forward and talk about this? >> no, i don't have -- i've been considered, the democrats are frustrated with me, how could i support the republican governor for four years. i don't have these massive connections to the -- i don't know who's head of the -- i don't know, i'm a democrat. they haven't called me at all. >> no, they have not called me, i have no connection to them. i'm a democrat, i think president obama has been through some challenges, he's doing a great jobbed rebuild by design competition that started under secretary donovan is an excellent opportunity for hoboken. >> what do you think should happen to christie? >> support my rebuild by design competition, it's an excellent

opportunity i was dune in a meeting a month ago, i said to mark, they invited me down for a briefing, can you put some support for rebuild by design into the second tranche of funding? he said, you need to let me know how much development you're willing to do. that was the answer i got back. that pressure is there. and the writing's on the wall, that's part of my thinking for coming forward, that threat is there and we're not going to get more funding if i don't -- i'm really between a rock and a hard place. >> pressure from the lieutenant governor, that's not a one time thing? you're saying there's a pattern of this? right, well, it's not a one time thing. that pressure was continuing until i came forward. and that pressure was going to continue. >> since you've come forward, has anyone said anything to you? >> no, i haven't talked to them at all. they're saying that they had

someone in my office who was there for rebuild by design, which was great, but no one has directly said to me we think it's great the plan you have. it's a water management system that could protect the entire city. it will benefit new jersey transit. you see the pictures of water going through the elevator. it would add a level of protection for them. this is a win win for everyone so that's what i'm asking, governor, please support this, when i get an answer back saying, you know -- >> mark fazan. >> is head of the sandy recovery process for the governor. when i get an answer back saying you need to tell us the level of development you're ready to do? >> the head of the sandy redevelopment process was talking to you about development? >> he said that like a month ago. i didn't do exactly what they

want, so the pressure continues. >> dumb question, i assume i know the answer. i assume you're not going to governor christie's inauguration tomorrow? >> i don't think i'm invited. >> thanks for being on. i hope your voice gets better. >> thank you. >> if you want to see the letters we were talking about, you can read them on our website. rudy giuliani downplayed the investigations and called the bridge issue a witch hunt. here's what mr. giuliani recently had to say. >> i don't see anything in his background that suggests he takes advantage of people, he pushes them around, he's nasty to them. i've been with him and his family many, many times, i don't see anything different about him than most of the people i know. it's a stereotype. if something happens that

reinforces your stereotype, it becomes a big deal. >> true politics, dana basch is back, along with gloria borgier. >> what do you think about these allegations? >> they're serious. that's why they're being investigated. what we heard tonight is the big question, who used redevelopment as the bargaining trip? was it the mayor as the governor's office would charge or the governor as the mayor charges but this is very serious legal issue, it also ties in -- if the mayor is telling the truth, it ties it directly to chris christie, because we have a lieutenant governor saying, this is what the governor wants, and she was delivering the message, although she said apparently she would deny it and this, of course, sandy return relief is so much a part of chris christie's brand, who he

is. the sort of can do governor. what the mayor is saying is, there was more to it than that. >> if this conversation is accurate as the mayor says, it's like something out of a movie for the lieutenant governor saying, i'm going to deny this conversation ever took place. >> and, you know, in a parking lot. >> in new jersey. >> yeah -- >> if it's true -- >> did really is. that is another reason why this is potentially so devastating to christie. not only the biggest reason, this is much more than bridge gate ties the issue directly to the governor, but also because this is another thing that people can understand. people can understand what happened in sandy, people can understand -- because they've seen so many movies and lifetime series about this. >> people watching "house of cards" say isn't this how politics is done? aren't deals like this done all

the time? >> well, these are threats. these are threats that are not legal. if you're lbj and you say, i want your vote on the civil rights bill. and if you don't give it to me i'll close the bridge in your town. that's understandable. this is more illegal. >> it's more overt than what you think might happen or did happen in lbj's time. >> isn't this done on capitol hill all the time? it's sort of deal making. >> that's what a supporter of christie's who doesn't believe -- >> the allegations here are way beyond deal making, it is a threat. it's a threat of, if you want this project back in your state, you're going to support my initiative here, this is, we're not going to give the residents of your town, which you know, you were there. 80% of their water during sandy, we're not going to give them

help unless you support our development project because the governor supports it because he has friends in a law firm. it is almost -- >> it's not a museum named after a mayor. >> but something that people can understand. >> what i saw here with you is a mayor, who's concerned about the city of hoboken, she's saying chris christie is a great governor who's done great things for the state, but she clearly still wants this money, and i think she came out of frustration or felt that perhaps she would be believed this time around. >> it's not the only thing we've heard appreciate you both being with us. we're going to have much more on a special edition of ac 360 at 10:00 p.m. we're devoighti idevoting the e to it. police believe this woman may be a terrorist who could target will winter olympics. ♪

president obama and his family marked today's federal holiday by volunteering at a washington, d.c., kitchen that prepares meals for needy people. it was five years ago today that barack obama was sworn in as the 44th president to take the oath of office. mr. obama has often shied away from talking about race, but in a revealing interview, he acknowledges there are people who dislike him because he's

african-american. we'll talk more about it with the director of "12 years a slave." he spoke about race in a way he hasn't spoken many about. he said, there's some folks who dislike me because they don't like the idea of a black president. he said there's some people who like him because he's an african-american president. >> that's a formulation he's very careful to make. i don't know that the second part is as much in evidence any more as the first part, and the right wing. a lot of the twittersphere went berserk on it. really? this is such a mystery that there are some people in the united states that don't like barack obama because he's black? >> just the reaction to what the president said. >> points to why this president

hasn't spoken about race? >> clearly. this is one of those subject matters that this individual the president has had to dance around for several years now, going into the election the first time, as he was president, and i think it's a difficult subject matter on both sides. there are a lot of people of color who wish he had been more of the black president, and some have said that quite literally. he needs to be the black president. i have a problem with that. if someone had said, president bush needs to be the white president, people would freak out. >> one of the things that the president has said he's been accused of, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, booker t. washington. he didn't think it was fair. he's not letting the larger society off the hook. >> no he's perfectly aware that institutional racism exists in

our society. no one's discounting that. >> i was once interviewing obama, he was very, very careful. as we were leaving a room, he basically told me, look, there's just -- this subject, no matter what i say, it's parsed so carefully it's hand grenades that can go off. the most important thing that will happen to barack obama is his election and he knows that. >> also, people have commented on the fact that he can't be seen as being angry about the subject of race which is such a bizarre thing to have to operate under that mantle that you can't -- >> he lives a bizarre life. again, i've seen people of color wishing he would get more demonstrative about issues or harder pushback on certain things like the birther

movement. and there are others who say you scant do that, because you're going to come off as the angry black man. it's unfortunate when you're an individual that breaks barriers, sometimes you have to do it in a way that is different from someone else whose people have been in the room before. true with a person of color, with women. if a man acted like this he would get promoted. if a woman acts like this, she would be considered a you know what. >> you're talking about a longer game which is something you write about in the ashl as well? >> absolutely. people from the civil rights movement all the way back to slavery, having spent four years researching this individual and what he went through for the film "12 years a slave." and what i went through, and he had to believe in something that was not even seen. when i look back at individuals who could see something that did not exist in anyway shape or

form when i look at the president and see that he has a long range vision i'm very impressed by that. there are moments where i get very frustrated, come on, man. do this, do that. this is an individual who knows how to weave his way around some of the anger, the rancher, he certainly has an understanding of how he needs to present himself. >> thank you very much. up next tonight, deadly plant explosion in omaha, nebraska. a maryland mother stabbed two of her children to death and wounded another while attempting an excorcism. japan's secret dolphin hunt. 200 dolphins penned up in a cove. now awaiting slaughter. ♪
