as sued for sexual assault. >> so now, cosby admits he gave at least one woman quaaludes. this is the closest thing to an admission cosby ever made since more than two dozen women came forward accusing him of sexual assault. let's begin with sara. what do we know this morning? >> this is a fascinating thing. so many women accused him, but said they believe they were drugged first. many of the women coming forward saying they believe they remember cosby fixing them a drink and handing it to them before they became incapacitated. cosby is careful with his words. he is silent and denied it. this is the first time we are hearing him admit to anything. a bombshell in the ongoing cosby sexual assault controversy,
3:01 am
shockingly revealed in his own words. the comedian testifying under oath that in 2005 he obtained seven prescriptions of quaaludes, a hypnotic sedative to drug young women he wanted to have sex with. his confession testimony from a lawsuit from a former temple university employee that was settled in 2006. in the deposition obtained and made public by the associated press, the plaintiff's attorney now questioning the 77-year-old cosby. when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind to use them on young women you wanted to have sex with? he said yes. you gave them to other people? yes. did you ever give them quaaludes without their knowledge, cosby's lawyer objects, telling him not
3:02 am
to answer the question. the woman in that case accusing cosby of drugging and molesting her, giving her three, blue bills. the documents include cosby's recollection of a 1970s encounter with a woman in las vegas. she meets me backstage, he says. i give her quaaludes, we then have sex. according to the documents, cosby's lawyers insisting two accusers were aware they were taking quaaludes from the comedian. over the past 40 years, 25 women publicly alleged cosby raped or assaulted them. >> it was very powerful. it came on very quickly. the room started to spin. at that point, i knew he had drugged me. >> reporter: cosby, who starred as the lovable cliff huxtable denied it and has never been criminally charged. barbara bowman an accuser,
3:03 am
paved the way for others to come forward and calls it a game changer. >> i think we are going to be heard now. i think this is just the beginning. >> reporter: now, cosby fought the release of the documents saying the revolutions would be embarrassing to him. his attorney could not be reached for comment. throughout the documents, in the chunks of deposition that were released they hint to the fact that quaaludes were a popular party drug in the 1970s. they talk about that seeming to give his side of the story a little more. >> thanks so much for all of that. could bill cosby be prosecutored now that they came to life? great to have you this morning. the reason this is a bombshell is it's the closest he's ever come to actually correspond ob
3:04 am
rating what they said. he never admitted to anything until now. this document has been reveals that yes, he got seven prescriptions for quaaludes to give them to women to have sex. >> yes, i don't think there's any doubt what he's done is co-ob rate their story. what was the key element? the sex was not consensual and they were drugged. now, you have this motion that is citing depositions where he's actually admitting it. that is the bombshell. i'm not sure it's a legal bombshell. >> the pushback from his camp is no he's admitting to a drug culture, to practices that were common then not that this was ppredatory. how do you make that case? >> as someone who defends drug cases, people today have no awareness of quaaludes. they are a drug of the past. in the '70s and before that
3:05 am
they were a party drug. so the revelation that bill cosby may have been using quaaludes reckreationrecreationally. >> that is different than giving them to women. >> if i'm playing the bill -- wearing my bill cosby defense hat, that is going to be their position. that's the only thing he admitted to. i had quaaludes and used them recreationally. that is a bit of a crime, but in this case it's far better than admitting to what we are saying this transcript really means. >> you are saying he can't be prosecutored? >> not unless you have -- >> somebody that falls within the statute. tell people the law. there's something tricky with the crimes that goes through refreshment of recollection and
3:06 am
triggers a memory. >> you could have somebody who has been sitting back who actually was a victim and now sees this revelation and sees this coming forward and you have a triggering event. in some states if this were to happen and you have a psychologist certified that their revelation is new, substantiated clinically and based on new information that's come out like oh my gosh, he said three blue pills, that's what happened to me. now you may be able to bring a claim. there could be somebody could be somebody i'm not saying there is that was attacked more recently within the statute of limitations. we have the case that happened allegedly at the playboy mansion. you might have police take another look at it. for me this is not likely to result in a criminal prosecution. it's not likely to result in a civil litigation. what could happen is you have
3:07 am
these defamation claims. you have women that are suing cosby and what are they suing for? they are saying you called me a liar in the press. you came out and said that what i said was not true. i am suing you for the damages that that caused to my personal reputation. let's talk about how this plays out. >> hold on do these revelations help their case that he called them liar and they say he's lying? >> the defamation case is based on the idea when cosby's attorney came out and said these women are not telling the truth, he somehow harmed them. that is a bit of a stretch. it's a difficult case to make out. >> why? >> why? because if you read the transcript, if you read what the attorney actually said he's saying they are not telling the truth. the liability against cosby is premise. basically you are responsible for what i think it is.
3:08 am
i thought it was something like that. it's based on the idea what your employee said you are liable for. >> what they say you are responsible for, they come at you. it's a bit of a stretch. >> does the fact that this sentence in this deposition cited in the motion the fact cosby admitted he bought quaaludes and gave them to women before sex, does that mean they are going to win? >> not necessarily. if i'm cosby's attorney i'm saying oh my god, i do not want him deposed. what's going to happen is when you sit down in a civil deposition and you have your attorney next to you, there's a wide scope. if i'm now representing these women and i have that statement, i am going to cross examine bill cosby for days. what do you mean? did you give it to my client? you called her a liar. are you lying then or now. what do you mean you don't
3:09 am
recall? >> can he avoid a deposition? >> probably not. mel is right, if he ends up in a deposition red flags. here's why. the scope of a deposition is so much broader than what you can ask somebody on the witness stand at trial. his attorneys are going to have a difficult time limiting the area of questionable material at a deposition. most civilians don't have experience with depositions. they can be in a way scarier than a trial because the sky is the limit, essentially in a deposition. there's no judge. they are the wild west of civil litigation tools. that as mel said gives cosby attorneys pause. >> it will be interesting to see what happens with that legal case now that this has been revealed. >> and how they spin it going forward. this is about the court of public opinion. this is what people believe about bill cosby. >> the case is closed there.
3:10 am
thank you so much for all that background. this morning, we will speak with three of cosby's accusers. in the 8:00 hour we speak with barbara and beverly about the bombshell revelations they call game changers this morning. court of public opinion matters for bill cosby. what do you think? tweet us or post on facebook.com/newday. the man who con felszed to gunning down a 32-year-old woman on a san francisco pier is expected in court today. prosecutors are charging sanchez with murder. big questions are being raised about san francisco's sanctuary status. does it provide too much cover to undocumented criminals to hide from the law? we are live in san francisco with the latest. dan? >> reporter: michaela, the mayor trying to quell this growing national debate says all agencies need to review the
3:11 am
decision that is were made. he says san francisco's sanctuary policy is not meant to protect serious violent and repeat felons. charged with murder 45-year-old undocumented immigrant sanchez awaits his arraignment later today in san francisco. >> we entrust our sister kathy, to mercy. >> reporter: they mourn the loss of kate steinle. sanchez, a seven-time convicted felon shot her on the pier nearly a week ago. >> kate was an amazing soul. everyone that met kate knew she was special. >> reporter: sanchez had been deported five times to mexico a fact that flamed a simmering debate over immigration reform. >> i believe ice needs to catch up. >> reporter: the sheriff's department notified customs and immigration because san francisco is a so-called
3:12 am
sanctuary city. they won't hand them over without a court order. >> we need a court order or a warrant and ice has been told this many many times. they have yet to produce that document. >> reporter: the california attorney general saying it should not be informed about theout rage of one man's conduct. >> they forced him back into the u.s. because they didn't want him in mexico. the suspect, francisco sanchez chose san francisco because he knew it was a sanctuary city. steinle's family is staying clear of the debate wanting to focus on kate and who she was as a person. >> as they should. thank you very much. we have news coming out of the iran negotiation. today is the deadline for that deal. will it get done? iran is demanding an arms
3:13 am
embargo be lifted at the u.n. the question is will the u.s. walk away if it can't deliver on that? cnn correspondent nic robertson live in vienna where this is going on. nic? >> reporter: john at the moment the fight plus one, which is secretary kerry meeting with the foreign ministers of france, germany, britain, russia and china. they are in their second meeting of the day. they went into the late hours this morning meeting with the iranians. this meeting and series of meetings we are seeing the most high level for a long time in the talks. it gives you a sense of urgency at the pace of the talks. what we don't have a sense of at the moment is what's being discussed behind those closed doors. we understand the iranians have a new red line lifting at the
3:14 am
u.n. security resolution that lifts the arms embargo placed on iran. they won't sign a deal unless that issue is addressed and the arms embargo lifted. nuclear technology site inspections across iran and the importance to get a deal done by thursday to get it in front of congress. any delay on that means congress would have 60 rather than 30 days to look at this and the chance of increasing problems perhaps being raised with whatever deal is being negotiated or agreed. at the moment we certainly seem to be going into extra time on this. alisyn? >> thanks so much for that update. beating isis will take a long time. that's the message from president obama during a visit to the pentagon. he says u.s. troops trained -- u.s. trained troops are making gains in iraq and syria. at the same time he was
3:15 am
speaking, the terrorists managed to retake a key syrian town. barbara starr is live with the latest developments. good morning. >> good morning, alisyn. the battlefield is fluid as they continue to change hands. dozens of air strikes the last few days. interestingly on july 4th alone, 18 air strikes over the isis capitol, if you will. a very heavy round of strikes, somewhat unusual for the u.s. to engage in all of this striking bridges, targets. possibly the u.s. looking at the fact it may have been able to kill some isis leaders. that is not confirmed. president obama, after his briefing here at the pentagon came out and made an interesting statement about the situation in syria. it caught our attention. have a listen. >> we are intensifying our efforts against isil in syria. we continue to target the oil
3:16 am
and gas facility that is fund so much of their operation. >> reporter: intensifying efforts over syria. officials are telling us this means to look for more air strikes. syrian kurdish fighters are 50 miles north of rutga. that is putting pressure on the city and isis. if isis starts to move his troops and equipment and weapons around the u.s. hopes it will be able to spot them from the air and conduct more air strikes. chris? >> thank you very much. we have breaking news out of afghanistan. the taliban claiming responsibility for a suicide car bombing in the capitol of kabul targeting a nato convoy. it happened a few hours ago. it is not clear, this is a new event. there are reports emerging of a second attack. the more we learn, the more we'll tell you. >> stateside, breaking overnight, one person killed and four seriously injured after an ice cave collapsed at a popular
3:17 am
hiking destination in washington state. rescuers are scrambling to recover the victims' bodies. >> the operation changed from a rescue to recovery. >> an outing in this national forest in washington state turning deadly monday evening. part of the big four ice caves in northwest washington came down. one person killed. the ice cave collapse similar to the partial collapse similar to the big four caught on camera sunday. while authorities say it's not illegal to enter into the caves, they warn with the hot weather, the ice can be severely weakened. the sheriff's office says three people were air transported with lacerations. >> leg fractures shoulder pain lacerations to her leg, head.
3:18 am
the fracture part is what we are sorting out now. >> reporter: one person killed. crews were close enough to identify the body. >> teams and other search and rescue volunteers are looking at the ice and how safe it is before they go in. >> scary. another story, florida state quarterback, deandre johnson dismissed from the team after seeing disturbing surveillance of him punching a woman during an altercation. he was charged with misdemeanor battery. they say he is extremely embarrassed and apologized for his actions. >> when you have the video, hard to make it. >> it is. >> it possible to make the case. being embarrassed is irrelevant. you punched somebody in the face. the sports schools, leagues, they have to determine who they
3:19 am
want playing, who they don't, what they are going to ai accept. what do you think? tweet us. here is the question this morning when it comes to the iran deal. will the u.s. walk away from the table if a deal doesn't happen? is it possible? what would happen if the u.s. did walk away? we have experts in the field that will give us the answers, ahead. this allergy season, will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. americans. we're living longer than ever. as we age, certain nutrients... ...become especially important. from the makers of one a day fifty-plus. new one a day proactive sixty-five plus. with high potency vitamin b12...
3:20 am
3:22 am
3:23 am
today is the deadline for a nuclear deal with iran. false urgency you say? maybe so. it's hours away. there are issue that is remain including a demand from iran that the arms embargo from the u.n. be lifted. what happens if the u.s. says no. hillary, co-author of "going to tehran" negotiated with iran and mr. peter, an associate professor at the city university of new york. hillary, good to see you. obvious, but complex. can the u.s. walk away and say enough is enough we are done? >> a decision by the united states to quote, unquote, walk away cut aur talks with iran would be just as damaging to the
3:24 am
united states than the decision to invade iraq. it would have enormously devastating consequences on the united states. it would have repercussions for us globally in economic terms and military terms. >> hillary, i know you worked for multiple presidential organizations, but marco rubio disagrees. he is running for president, not that he would say something provocative because of that. the president, if he were serious about negotiating a deal in advance, he would walk away from the table and pose new sanctions until they are ready to negotiate seriously. very compelling. peter? >> the problem is even if the u.s. were to impose new sanctions, it's likely our partners whose sanctions matter
3:25 am
more than ours would start to erode their sanctions. >> why? why does that happen? >> they do more trade with iran than we do. they have jobs at stake in france. the chinese want oil from iran. they have agreed to limit their oil purchase as part of pressure for a deal. if they see no deal on the horizon and believe america walked away they are not going to injure their economies forever. rubio is imagining we can walk away and increase the pressure on iran. i think the pressure would go down. >> not practical, is that your point? >> right. he's expedient to say get them to capitulate. they are not all powerful. >> the strong hillary, the message we are hearing from many in the presidential field. the administration is weak. iran smells it. that's why there is no deal. is that true or huff and puff? >> you know we have tried their investigation of invading iraq
3:26 am
invading libya, occupying afghanistan for more than a decade training and funding jihad jihad jihadi. the real strength would be like nixon and kissinger went do china and accepted that. we need to go to tehran and make our peace with iran. it will help us. it will resurrect our position in the middle east and around the world. if we don't, we will see ourselves flail across the middle east and the world. >> you are a quitter. that's what people will say. these are bad people in iran. they don't like us. they are messing around in yemen. they are messing around in iraq. they are messing around in syria. they are coming at us on the different war fronts. the u.s. people say, no you can't be nice to them. >> recognize that
3:27 am
overwhelmingly the people brutalized by this regime the people who want to support this deal. they know an opening to the west is the worst thing that could happen to this regime. the thing that would empower them the most. they use this cold war to justify the brutal crackdown on people. i think this deal of course we need to be as tough as we can. if you listen to the voices out ofdeal. >> they are taking a page from the castro playbook is what you are saying? >> i think some of that. the castro cold war didn't work either. to make a deal is not to say we like this regime. it's to say what they benefit from the most is a cold war. what they can't sustain is a real engagement. >> don't throw french at me. let me ask you something, hillary. give me the last word on this. i'm laying it out to you. what is playing in the united states is these are bad people.
3:28 am
you have to treat bad people in a bad way. tighten the screws. they will come back begging for a deal. >> we don't say that about saudi arabia today. if we said that about stalin in world war ii we might be speaking german today. that rhetoric is a proven loser. i disagree with peter who i otherwise greatly respect. it's a fantasy to think iran is going to change. they are here to say like the people's republic of china. we need to recognize rising iran like rising china is a strong independent power. we need to work with them not bring them down and align with other countries like saudi arabia to get us into disaster. >> harness the discontent. it will create pressure on both sides of the ball. thank you.

francisco sanchez charged in the murder of kate steinle walking along the san francisco waterfront. the case fueled a debate over immigration policy and whether san francisco's sanctuary policy is to blame. the discuss this we have anna marie solazar. ben ferguson is here host of the ben ferguson show. i sense a debate is likely here. i appreciate you both bringing your passion to the subject. ben, i want to talk about what we heard from kgo. they had an opportunity to talk to the suspect. they asked if he came back to san francisco because he knew they wouldn't actively look for
3:34 am
him. he replied yes. is it time to review the policy? or as harris says it shouldn't out rage was because of one man's conduct. >> if you have a family member it affects your life and we should respect these people affected by the illegal immigrants. many of them do in fact go to sanctuary cities because they have a safe haven. this is a man who had been convicted in u.s. courts seven times, been deported five times. if you feel that comfortable to come back into a city and to stay in a city because you know ultimately no one is going to force you, really to leave and if they did, you can come back. you don't have to worry or look over your shoulder that nobody is going to deport you.
3:35 am
this is what happens when you allow a safe haven for illegal activity. they should be ashamed of themselves for trying to act like this is someone else's problem. this is their problem. someone should fix it. >> annaanna-maria? your response? >> we have to remember why safe haven cities were created. they were created because there was racial profiling not only of illegal aliens but mexican-americans, hispanic-looking type of people walking down the street. just because they look hispanic or they look quote unquote illegal, they were being stopped. these safe havens were created to protect people both illegal and both american citizens. i think there should be a debate about safe havens. the debate should be around when you are talking about individuals who may have
3:36 am
committed a felony crime. >> well let me bring in the -- let me bring in a statement from the mayor of san francisco. ed lee said, quote, let me be clear the policy protects residents regardless of immigration status not intended to protect repeat and serious violent felons. aren't they allowing felons of this type to slip through the cracks? >> they would slip through the cracks i would say almost in any other city. when you have -- when you have these types of individuals, i say this very carefully because this case is being used to define what the immigration or people looking, like donald trump, to try to define what should be u.s. immigration policy regarding 11 million undocumented people who live in the united states right now. i'm just talking the mexican population. the problem is with these cases, clearly a mistake was made.
3:37 am
this was a mistake, not the norm. i, you know when you look around and look at the numbers, we have been talking, let me just finish. when you look at the numbers, clearly the undocumented population in the united states is much less likely to commit a crime. that's the data. >> you said something -- you just said something to me that is political correctness out of control. you said sanctuary cities were set up to protect illegals. why in the world do you want to protect people who are breaking the law in this country who are here illegally? that is exactly the reason why these sanctuary cities are so helpful and effective to people just like this individual that committed multiple felonies and been convicted of them. let me say, this is very important. you don't set up a city to help people that are involved in a
3:38 am
legal activity. that is exactly what they have done with sanctuary cities. you are saying if you are illegal, and committing crimes, the safest place for you because we are not going to enforce the law of the land. by the way, when you kill somebody we will blame the federal government not our policies. >> you mentioned donald trump making the claims for illegal immigrants and the crime. crime rates among first generation immigrants are significantly lower than overall crime rate. that's an important piece of conversation to bring in here. i'm going to leave it at that. ben, anna-maria i feel like this is a conversation we are going to pick up daily. thank you for joining us with your strong opinions. we'll continue talking ability this. another story lives on here. it's the truth that we have the bad guys one is dead one back

3:45 am
it. i can understand the desire to get out if you are in prison. that part of the story is such a mystery to me. >> one thing is sure he has a huge bucket of stuff coming his way. i find it hard to believe that they would have gone out of their way to kill a man for this woman. i find it hard to believe that they really had a plan she was part of in terms of continuing down the road. >> i'm with you. >> she might have gotten out of the way, but that's the only part of the plan. meanwhile, severe storms moving east. tornado clouds over missouri and reports of tornadoes touching down. several inches of rain causing flooding and traffic on a kansas city highway. the storms postponing the kansas city royals including royal's dugout. wow. that's a water fall in the
3:46 am
dugout. chad myers with more. what are you seeing chad? >> i'm backing you up. 6:00 yesterday afternoon from chicago back to kansas city. that's the line of weather you are flying through if you are on an airplane and slowed you down as the pilots had to move around the storms. i push you ahead as the storm gos to the southeast toward st. louis. a lot of rain coming down. paducah, four inches of rain with flash flood warnings going on. more rain this afternoon as well. there's the flash flood watches and warnings from st. louis to the south. if you are going get four to six inches of rainfall it will be more severe. from buffalo to cleveland, paducah and down to memphis, that's the area today. it was here yesterday, it's here today. only wind. not so much tornadoes or hail but a wind event and lightning event. if you are outside, thousands of

strikes per hour. have the kids inside when the lightning rolls around. we have the band back together. >> yeah. >> cuomo, welcome back. >> good to see you my friend. we are going to take a quick break. bernie sanders, when we got into the race a lot of people said what is he going to do? he's doing great, especially in iowa. raises the question is hillary feeling the burn? bernie sanders. we have experts weighing in on why he's doing so well and what it means going forward. stay with us.

3:51 am
3:52 am
>> thank you. >> the polls are telling a different story. should we discuss? >> we should. we want to bring in editor and chief of the daily beast. great to have you with us. >> good morning. >> let me pull up an interesting poll the latest poll. it shows the difference in the numbers from two months ago, may 7th to today. look at what's happened. these are iowa caucus voters. hillary clinton has gone down from 60% to 52%. bernie sanders doubled support from 15% to 33%. john are iowa caucus voters representative of anything other than iowa caucus? >> look you know iowa caucus voters speak to a certain grass roots element of the democratic
3:53 am
party in the gop. they are the die hards. they are the grass roots. doubled significance. there's a 20-point gap in terms of reality check. when she lost iowa came in third, it was a major shot leading ultimately to obama winning the nomination. the dynamics are fundamentally different. she should be concerned but i think if she can go all the way to the left overreacting in a way that can damage. >> the lesson of history. john edwards was on everybody's lips out of iowa. >> so creepy. >> amazing how things can change. you had a knowing smile on your face as john was talking. what do you see in these numbers? >> the real problem for the clinton campaign when you talk on a telephone poll it's five minutes on the phone. the caucus you have to go out and stand for your candidate in
3:54 am
