american express' timeless safety and security are now available on apple pay. the next evolution of membership is here. so this is the week when democrats started displaying a little public anxiety about hillary clinton already having locked up the democratic nomination to succeed barack obama as president of the united states. this was anxiety week. with a little political wobble from the "new york times" revelations about her use of a private e-mail account when she was secretary of state with the media collectively losing its mind about that story. with the clinton camp having perceived a little slowly raggedly to those allegations and to the unrelenting media interest. it generated democrats started

to freak out. maybe it should be duvall patrick. maybe it should be ron widen. let's try again. elizabeth warren to run, even though she obviously doesn't want to. how about mike bloomburg, even though he is not even a democrat. it was like somebody call michael bennett. mark warner. mike beebe. that's the guy. he's a democrat, right? jeanne shaheen will save us. none of those people are running for president. there's no sign that any of them will run for president. as the beltway lost their minds this week, this was the democratic fallout from that

media frenzy. it was novel and interesting. we haven't seen that freakout on the left about hillary clinton's prospects and there being no plan b if she doesn't work out. but when it finally happened this week, it was not the mostly coherency, it was mostly noise. while there was all that hubbub this week in the press, quietly without any sound at all, this week the republican field for president seems to have shrunk by one very high profile contender. and i'm not sure the beltway press has even noticed it yet. there was this one politico story about chris christie trying to reassure power players and republican politics that governor christie is still running. there was that one story. their stated concern, what has been written up thus far in the

beltway press is the real worry for the christie campaign was money. his whole big picture strategy had to be rethought. it is late already to be rethinking something that important with a run to the presidency. so the fact that basically jeb bush stole all of chris christie's dough norse, it does have to be seen as strike one against governor christie. that much the press has figured out. strike two and three have already happened to chris christie. one of the two strikes is this guy. chris christie was never going to win iowa or even do well in iowa.

it is just too conservative there for guys like chris christie. he would have to make his big stand in new hampshire. so he hatched a brilliant plan. he has a young genius political staffer in new jersey. this is matt mauers. he agreed to leave right after christie was reelected in 2013. they left team christie and moved to new hampshire. so ace in the hole, right? christie sent his own guy to new hampshire to become the executive director of the new hampshire republican party. just in time to start wiring the state for chris christie for 2016. and chris christie needs new hampshire. if he is going to make a run. otherwise, he's going to get clobbered. a genius move, right? until the bridge thing screwed

it up. it turns out the boy genius that chris christie dispatched is also the genius he sent to ft. lee, new jersey. the town that was gridlocked on purpose for nearly a week. as some sort of political retaliation orchestrated by at least one of his top aides. all right, remember time for some traffic problems in ft. lee and they shut down lanes of traffic on the george washington bridge. that matter of course is still the subject of a pending from investigation by the federal prosecutor in new jersey. that scandal is still looming. exactly what happened in that scandal, why it is still mostly unexplained -- the only working political theory for why they might have purposely shut down those bridge lanes is fear of retaliation for ft. lee's mayor.

ft. lee's mayor re refused this overture when they asked him to endorse governor christie for reelection. the governor said no. the person that made those overtures to ft. lee's mayor was this guy. it was the guy who chris christie then sent to new hampshire to take over the state republican party there and set him up to win the presidential nomination in 2016, starting with winning new hampshire. once he was tapped, matt mauers was subpoenaed in new jersey. he had to testify for hours about the bridge scheme because he was right in the center of that unresolved scandal. he played the role of asking for the endorsement. right now the working political theory is that endorsement, and the guy saying no to the request for that endorsement is what kicked the whole thing off. because that scandal is

unresolved, obviously that guy at the center of the scandal cannot be the face of chris christie. he can't be the face of the christie campaign in new hampshire. turns out he is. apparently there was no plan b. chris christie just hired the bridgegate subpoena guy. the guy at the center of the alleged bridgegate plot. he just hired that guy to return his new hampshire operation. apparently there was no plan b. there was no other idea. that might have been fine if bridgegate were case closed, but the case is open at the attorney's office in new jersey and it looms over his political prospects. so yeah, there is the money thing with jeb bush getting all of his donors, there is the bridge problem. it is now front and center for

him in new hampshire, and there is strike three that looks like this. this is "the daily show with jon stewart" last night talking about him for the strange and unexplained exxon deal still being made public in new jersey. here is chris christie in new jersey on thursday. at his town hall getting grilled by local residents about this strange and unexplained exxon deal. here is governor christie in florida giving a keynote address, all the way down the coast in florida and what does he get asked about? he gets asked about the strange

exxon deal just made public in new jersey. here, today, local residents today holding an event to make public complaints and ask public questions about the new and still unexplained and strange exxon deal that people are starting to learn about in new jersey. it is the deal where the state of new jersey was suing exxon is for more than a decade for $9 billion. billion with a b. two huge refinery sites, they dumped and leaked tons and tons and tons of toxic chemicals into 1,500 acres of new jersey wetlands. part of the reason it has become a national joke is called the garden state is because when you drive from new york city to new jersey, you drive past it and it stinks. people roll up their windows and hit recirc.

it smells like sulfur. that is most people's welcome to new jersey. the refinery site is a toxic dump. exxon admitted it decades ago. they are already in the process of starting to clean it up. the lawsuit of the state asking for $9 billion was not about the cleanup itself it was about compensating the state for the damages that exxon had done. the state asked for $9 billion. they were in the trial all last year. it's been in the courts for 11 years. the judge was due to rule, the state for 11 years asked for $9 billion. at the last minute, the christie administration asked the judge to please not rule because they were negotiating a settlement with ex upon, out of court settlement.

i should just say settlement. they twice asked the judge to hold off on his expected ruling. and then the "new york times" published a report about this that landed like a bomb shell. the state was asking for $9 billion, and they settled for $250 million. a quarter of a billion. at first the times report it'd would be $250 million. then it was reported that governor christie's counsel was directly involved in the settlement talks. the governor's office. not just the attorney general and the state. then they announced the settlement amount publicly, turns out it wasn't even, it was $225 million. then the "times" did the math on the attorneys fees on the case and they found that new jersey would not even get $225 million, it would be more like $180 million. around this time people in new jersey started saying hey, where is my $9 billion from exxon? and chris christie has been

getting asked about it. so far his answer has been he says this is a great deal so far. people should be excited about it. people tkphot people do not seem to be excited about it. there is unexplained questions about why didn't they let the judge rule. what should the state have expected to get if they had not settled for this unexpectedly small amount of money. why did their office intervene in what was being worked on by the attorney general's office. after 11 years they get the encroachment from the governor's office and then there is a settlement? what is up with that? there is simple, easy to understand, open questions about this exxon deal, and questions that go unanswered are questions that keep getting asked. particularly when someone is trying to run for president. and we now know what became clear this week, what became clear today, specifically, is this thing is not going away any time soon. this will go on for awhile.

>> the legal argument is that it is arbitrary and capricious. the procedure is there will be a public comment period on april 9 when it is published, the actual settlement is published in the new jersey record. and that will give us standing to appeal a decision that is ultimately made. i made two requests. the first one is due today. what are the chances of them giving me anything today? if i have to go -- i don't expect anything but we'll go to court to make sure we get all of those documents. >> so here we go, public records requests. why did you arrive at that

settlement? why did you intervene in this court case? public comment period? what are you, the new jersey public, think about this settlement. people participate so they can get standing, so they can sue at the end of the public comment period when the judge decides whether or not this exxon deal is bogus. if he okays it, they file lawsuits against chris christie and this exxon deal to force them to explain what happened. what happened to new jersey's $9 billion. what did they do to get this 97% off deal when it comes to the stinking hell gate. it welcomes travelers to the garden state. bridgegate is still not over and chris christie just put it front and center in his effort as he is running for president and he needs to do well. the exxon thing is getting bigger, not smaller, it is guaranteed to stretch on for months unless someone comes up with answers to these big, obvious questions that chris

christie is being asked about in new jersey and around the country. and look at his numbers. this just came out this week. they were asked if they could see themselves supporting each of these potential candidates for president. sort of a no pressure poll right. you had to say whether you could potentially see yourself supporting a a particular candidate some time in the future. could you see yourself supporting this person? 57% of voters nationwide said at no time in the future could they imagine themselves ever supporting chris christie for president. 57%. all of these other potential candidates scored higher than him. the only candidate they dislike more than chris christie is

donald trump. seriously. that is the territory that chris christie is in. the beltway press is, i think, sometimes slow to adjust on these things because of what their conversation is about. donors, money, and -- even beyond that. those poll numbers are shockingly low still sometimes considered a tier one candidate. as a potential front-runner. and yeah, things charge. caucuses are still months away, but this week voters freaked out about hillary clinton and the republican field very quietly rid itself of chris christie has a national contender. everyone expects a little baggage, but he looks sunk. he's done.

(everyone) cheers! glad you made it buddy. thanks for inviting me. thanks again my friends. for everything for all your help. through all life's milestones our trusted advisors are with you every step of the way. congratulations!

thanks for helping me plan for my retirement. you should come celebrate with us. i'd be honored. plan for your goals with advisors you know and trust. so you can celebrate today and feel confident about tomorrow. chase. so you can. i'm embarrassed for them. for them to address a letter to who they claim is our mortal enemy, and their argument is don't deal with our president because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement. that is close to unprecedented. >> president obama in an interview with vice news. he says he is embarrassed for the senators that wrote a letter to iran this week.

i don't know if the signers of that letter are embarrassed themselves, but they have expressed regret or come with up regretful sounding excuses for why they did what they did. john mccain says maybe that wasn't the best way to do that. and republican staffers say the whole thing was supposed to be a joke. the administration has no sense of humor. they meant it to be a light hearted thing. let's write a light-hearted letter to the ayatollah. we thought it would be cheeky. two different republicans given reporters that word, cheeky. then senator mccain said it happened because it was snowing. it was kind of a very rapid process, everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm. no one could concentrate because of the snow so he signed whatever it was and got out of

town. snow. makes it hard to think. that is how 47 republican senators sent a letter to the ayatollah. and senator john says it was addressed wrong. that darn zip code. as they try to claw this thing back. the nation's editorial page have been fairly exploding over this issue. from the "new york times" today republican idiocy on iran. they say gop senators dumb distractive letter. they say it is a shameful stunt. senator tom cotton's home state of arkansas is the senator that wrote the letter. they say if this letter is an example of cotton's leadership

he has a lot to learn. there are dozens and dozens of these in papers large and small, editorials across the country ripping what the senators did. what happens next? what is the impact here of this debacle, this debacle of an egg they laid this week. what happens to them. what happens to american foreign policy politics that everybody believes these guys just screwed this stunt up so badly. meanwhile the other radical thing they did was invite israel's prim minister to come speak on the subject subject of iran. while he is trying to re-elected back in israel, republicans thought that his speech to congress would be really helpful to their cause. it does not seem to have changed

the dynamic here, but his chances of reelection in israel seem to have dropped considerably since that address. their elections are on tuesday. the latest poll out today shows he may not be reelected. he is down by four points. joining me now is steve clemmons. thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> this alert this week from 47 republican senators, we're still talking about it at the end of the week, which means it doesn't feel like another dumb thing that happened in congress. it feels like a big deal. was this enough of a big deal to potentially reorient things in washington at all? >> even though many people are backtracking on the letter, it is highly consequential because tom cannoten has demonstrated something we have seen ted cruz and other colleagues do to diminish from shutting down the government, not funding dhs,

whatever it may be, and they brought it into the sacred area of national security where bipartisanship has been the norm. not always but mostly the norm. the one senator can disrupt matters is very high in the senate. i feel like they have opened a pandora's box. >> how does the reaction to the letter affect that? it is not just in democratic circles, but mainstream circles. i mean on the republican side, did they not see this as a disaster even as everybody else does? >> some see it in the g.o.p. and they're going to run into different corners.

the real master of the senate signed that today shocking. that's why you had so many gop followers like mitch mcconnell. he gave people not any space to sign think about this and just sign up. tom cotton did something provocative. john mccain regretted signing that letter. people like bob corcoran that looks like the richard lugar of the day, who respected the white house in the process, you have different camps in the gop that will go to war against here other. this is going to open up problems in the republican party and probably do damage to the nation as a whole. >> steve, on the issue of benjamin netanyahu in the wake of his controversial visit here, controversial in israel and here, leading up to his reelection effort, his poll numbers -- obviously polls aren't everything.

do you think that this visit here ended up harming him at home? and if he ends up losing as prime minister, how does that change things for them and for us? >> i think that many of the things netanyahu did here and also in the charlie hebdo, after the attacks in paris, made him look desperate in what he brought to the game which he thought was effective running for the campaign. today at least it looks like it may have backfired. the problem with the israeli elections is if he party comes in number two, another one comes in number one and cannot form a government, you may see netanyahu back in the game. you should not overthink this until you see the election results. if he loses and he is not in, i think it chastens the republicans a bit and the white house restores that they're the defining edge of what is going

on in foreign policy and it knocks back some of this irresponsibility that we have seen from the house and senate recently. >> steve clemmons, great to see you. >> thank you. >> still ahead tonight, a big development in a story we have been tracking on the show for a very long time. a serious story. it's most specific to texas, but it has national implications. and that story is right here. ress for travel and entertainment worldwide. just show them this - the american express card. don't leave home without it! and someday, i may even use it on the moon. it's a marvelous thing! oh! haha! so you can replace plane tickets, traveler's cheques, a lost card. really? that worked? american express' timeless safety and security are now available on apple pay. the next evolution of membership is here. something entirely new is being built into bounty. dawn. new bounty with dawn. just rinse and wring so you can blast

>> this is a story you have not heard. state of texas executed another prisoner this week, lethal injection. texas executions have been going more smoothly. they have been going as planned. but the texas death penalty system is still in trouble. they're running out of the drugs they use to kill their prisoners.

they only have enough drugs on hand to kill one more guy. and they have a lot of guys they're planning to kill soon. how will they do it if they don't have the drugs? it is happening now in texas, but it is also happening in a bunch of states right now. there is no drug manufactured for the purpose of being used in a lethal injection. the prisons take drugs manufactured for other purposes and purposely misuse those drugs in a way that is intended to cause a person's death. but those drugs are not made for that. they are made, tested, and approved for sale for totally different purposes. and now increasingly, the companies that make those drugs being used in lethal injections are refusing to sell them to prisons. the drug companies are objecting and they're increasingly refusing to go along with this process and it is making things very complicated.

texas has just one dose left of what they like to use to kill people. they have half a dozen executions scheduled with times, dates, and everything but only enough drugs to kill one more person. texas has this problem. south carolina has it worse. they just ran out of their stockpile of execution drugs. georgia has had trouble getting them. at one point arizona was buying their drugs from a black market supplier that was operating from a driving school in london. when that story came out that source dried up too. it was controversial enough before states, who wanted to carry out executions had to find special compounding pharmacy toss make them home made versions of these drugs that nobody will legally sell them. even the work arounds are getting harder now. so states are now turning to the

back up plans for their back up plans. meet yellow mama from the alabama state execution chair. the alabama state house voted to bring back the disused electric chair. if the state finds they can no longer get the drugs to carry out their lethal injections any more. in tennessee, they call their chair old sparky. in utah this week, they decided prisoners should be killed by firing squad. they say it worked okay. the last time they did it it worked find if you didn't mind a little moving around when you have your employees shoot him. >> there is a strap across his forehead, but i could see him moving his eyes. >> it was cleaner than i expected and it was fast. but he moved. he moved a little bit.

>> some of us i think weren't sure if he had passed away because we could see movement. he had his fist clenched, his elbow and his fingers rubbing against each other. >> just a little wiggle the elbow, maybe the fingers. that was last time utah used a firing squad to kill a prisoner. now they have decided to reinstate the firing squad option if they can't get the drugs they want. gary herber has not decided whether or not to sign the firing squad bill. he says he finds it a little bit gruesome. in texas, the back up plan prison officials have come up with now that they're down to their last dose, they say if they can't get the preferred drug, they may switch drugs.

the state of texas thought ahead last summer. they got 40 viles last summer of a different drug. and they will not say if they plan to use it for executions. texas officials told us they're exploring all of their options, we guess with killing people midazalam. that particular drug that sedative was used in a batch of botched excuses. one time it took nearly two hours for the prisoner to die. and if they really do want to switch, they have a new problem to contend with, too. in january, a drug company called akorn, they told the newspaper in alabama that they, too, were taking steps to stop prisons from using their drug to

kill people. they announced this new policy "to prevent the use of our products in capital punishment, akorn will not sell any product to any prison or correctional institution and we will restrict the sale of lethal injection protocols to use their best efforts to keep them out of correctional institutions." that was surprising for us. we asked akorn last year and they didn't have a policy. and they didn't have is any plans to make one. now they do have a policy, and it's a really aggressive one. no sales of our drugs for executions, period. and get this, this is the news here. they are also now asking for their drugs back. look at this, we have obtained this letter that the company akorn sent out to every state in

the country that still does executions. it tells all of those states to please return whatever supply they still have. please return our products for a full refund. this is a big shift for the company and potentially a problem for a state like texas where the office covered with execution drugs is still bare, but they still have that other drug. we don't know if their supply came from akorn, but if it is, then hey, state of texas, right now you're looking at a request from the company that they want it back. and so is alabama. they, too, have stockpiled that same drug. over the past few days, we have been asking every company that makes midazolam about their policies on this.

of the nine we have found and talked to, six of them told us they will not sell it for executions or allow it to be sold for executions. three others have not responded but we think they will. the drug in question is now the subject of a u.s. supreme court challenge because of the spate of recent gruesome executions. they're expected to hear that case in the next few weeks. there is that to watch out for as well. in the meantime, the next execution is scheduled for wednesday. if that happens, that will use up the last dose of the drug they have been using in that state to kill their prisoners one by one. when that drug is gone on wednesday, if texas wants to switch, nobody knows what will happen. legally, arguably morally, and now logistically it is chaos. but when i started having back pain
