at does it for the cycle. "now" with alex wagner starts right now. greek leaders are trying to save their economy as the clock runs down on a deal. will bill cosby respond to newly revealed bomb shell testimony. and hillary clinton just sat down for her first national interview. but first chris christie may have to make a choice between the state house or the white house. it is tuesday, july 7th and this is now. >> i want to be the next president of the united states. ♪ >> chris christie of new jersey could be forced to resign because of his white house run. >> another example of how democrats his own state can make life held for chris christie. >> he east been out of the state too much this year. >> already in places like iowa new hampshire. >> i've been talking around new hampshire over the course of the last number of months. this is our 12th town hall since january that we've been doing here in new hampshire. >> it should come as no surprise

to people in new hampshire. >> all four of our children have now invaded new hampshire as well. >> glad to see that new jersey has come. >> i've been six times since january. >> in mississippi are just as ready for direct talk as people in iowa or new hampshire or new jersey or florida or california. >> we'll be flying everywhere. you will get a chance jill to see me covering the entire nation. >> it's no surprise people back home might not be all that happy. >> governor chris christie's campaign slogan is telling it like it is. now lawmakers in his state want him to go tell it somewhere else. fed up with his endless appearances out of state would soon introduce legislation that would force christie and any future new jersey governor to resign in order to run for president. governor christie has spent more than a third of his second term and half of this year outside of the garden state.

a new poll finds that more than three quarters of new jersey voters think he's more concerned with his political future than governing the state. 57% believe he should step down now that he's making a bid for the white house. and since you asked, 69% said chris christie would not make a good president. as for the governor's opinion, christie sounded utterly un unphlegmicsed about the dim view voters take of him in his own state. >> you also wind up deciding to run for president. and when you do that inside your own state, you see wit the scott walker and bobby jindal. the people go oh you're leaving us? you don't care about us as much? and the numbers are down. that is just the way it goes. it will cycle back up. >> a's to the governor tells the governor remains hands on. and the governor's deputy press

secretary said it is impossible to respond to every bit of silly nonsense that comes from this legislature. the governor himself was more direct when asked by the today show's matt lauer if he would resign to make it easier to raise money for the presidential race? >> will you consider leaving the governor's office here in new jersey to gain better access to funds to run for president. >> no. >> is that a case closed answer? will you ever reconsider that if funds start to get tight? >> can't imagine i would, no. >> so you will be the governor of new jersey at the end of this? >> that is my plan yeah. >> joining me now -- great to see all of you. senator weinberg i am especially keen to here your

thoughts. the governor seems very resolute and his aides do. and the democrats ss ss suggests the trolling him. >> if in fact we pass this legislature it would effect not only this governor but any future governor. and there are at least five other states that have a resign to run law on the books so it is not unusual. however, i have two major issues. first of all new jersey has major problems, where you are talking about our pension, deficit, depleted transportation trust fund women's access to health. we have a higher than national average unemployment rate. we need a chief executive officer, the governor of the state of new jersey here to be

negotiating answers to these problems, to be sitting across the table, face that-to-face with legislative leadership to come up with things that are important to the state of new jersey. having said that it is not only the time away and cost to new jersey taxpayers for paying for his executive protection unit traveling all over the country with him, but it is the appeal to the republican primary voter, much more conservative than the average resident of the state of new jersey. so there is a conflict in those things. and i when i see him vetoing bills that would be good for our residents because he's appealing to a republican primary voter in new hampshire, we're really at a cross-roads. and i think -- although he claims that i did smile when i said that little clip about oh no they really want me to stay. >> you don't think that's true?

>> no. >> it's not going cycle back up. >> i think the polling has shown that very clearly. that new jersey residents want a governor whose going to be the governor of new jersey. you know we have the strongest ceo position in the country under our constitution. there's very little as you well know that we can do without him. you can't govern new jersey by cell phone. >> and it's twofold, right? the governor says look it is the 21st century, i and skype in call in i'm always alert to the news. but there is also the ideological thing. the governor has taken very far right positions of late which most assume are a bid to curry favor with the republican base. >> hours before he announced last week the night before he made two moves of what were indicative of whether he might do going forward. vetoed money for family planning clinics like planned parenthood and as in the past he officially

said it was for budget reasons and then he went on fox news and said this was evidence of his pro life stance and second, he made two moves to limit gun regulations. made a commission to look at what new jersey's gun laws are actually constitutional. and this happens hours before he announced his candidacy. and right after he was talking about those moves in hnnew hampshire as evidence of his conservative bias. he could use this most powerful gubernatorial position in the country to show his conservative. >> he also took an abysmally bad settlement with exxon mobile lawsuit which was going to be maybe $8.9 billion and he took it for 225 million. the contention that it will cycle back up -- [ laughter ] >> the don't worry about it.

this is just what happens when you are a governor. and i think christie named bobby jindal and scott walker of wisconsin. i wonder if you think the national state ignores state feelings of their governor when electing a november nominee. >> if surprised for the most bo bodacious spin of the week that would be it. they want to fool the rest of the country to keep me as governor. like how can we miss you if you won't go away. so say that with a straight face, i think in this particular set right here really just shows he's untethered to reality. the star ledger when he ran did something you rarely see. they ran a piece saying this man lies. they used the word "lie." went through it step by step by step. and everything he said during

bridgegate. now demanding an apology from the media when there are still investigations under way in the port authority business and the pay to play stuff. and earlier you said he was in a bubble. he's not in a bubble. he's in bizarre-o planet. and the whole deal used to be he could work with democrats. and he was republican but practical. and has thrown that all out the window because he has nothing except trying to get the right on his side because the media is against him. >> senator, to the bridgegate thing. the christie camp contention is that bridgegate doesn't matter. really that is water under the bridge -- so to speak. the punning is unstoppable. but if there is something polled worse for him it's the hug he gave obama after hurricane sandy. >> bridgegate does matter. it matters to the people of new jersey and certainly should matter to the people of the united states who want to know what kind of person they are

voting for. the kind of person that set an environment. whether he was directly involved or at not we don't yet know. >> so you still think the jury sout. >> i know the jury is still out on that. the u.s. attorney has not finished with other investigations that he's doing. it is of interest to all the people who travel through new jersey and pay 15 dollars to drive over the george washington bridge. it is of interest to people who really care about the character of the person who they are electing. the character of a person that set an environment that his top aides thought that was appropriate behavior. >> right. and the governor has trade to thread the needle on the difference between being responsible and being accountable on bridgegate. and i want to play a little bit of sound as he tried to sort of explain his position. let's take a listen. >> well i'm accountable. it happened on my watch. so you are accountable. it is different than being responsible.

i think responsible is you did something. accountable is, listen i'm the governor. the buck stops with me. so i'm accountable. that is why i fired folks that i fired immediately. because you have to be accountable and then cooperating. >> so can you expect an apology from the media as governor christie does and also say i'm accountable? are those twin desires? do they intersect? >> they -- >> i don't think he's first of all going to get much of an apology from the media. he's trying to say yes, i appointed these people but i had nothing do with it. he did go to fort lee the day it came out and apologized to the mayor there behind closed doors. so he's saying he's putting it on his shoulders in that way. what he's say he is not responsible for all the shenanigans going on about the port authority. forget the lane closures. other things on increasing tolls. people on the board he appointed who had business with entities

involved with the port authority. he's saying he is not responsible for any of that stuff. but he's just technically accountable because he's the governor. >> he is where the buck stops. david just really quickly. you set bridgegate aside and there is still plenty to unpac in and around the governor's tenure. whether the nine credit downgrades. >> in 2012 a lot of republicans wanted to see him run for a variety of reasons. at this stage of the game i don't think there is any rationale for him running. he can't point to new jersey as the great garden state under his watch. the investigations are not over. the whole sit down shut up thing has become rather old. it's not charming any longer. >> was it ever charming -- i'm it kidding. >> and there are investigations that are yet to finish. so any billionaire who'd want to invest in him would be playing long odds. >> i'm going to stick with it will cycle back up. that is my favorite line of the

day. great to see you, thanks for your time. after the break t bomb shell deposition bill cosby's lawyers fought to keep sealed. it is now public. is there anyone left to defend the former king of comedy. and then donald trump has plenty of nasty things to say about mexican immigrants. so what do they have have to say about donald trump. and paula deen proves once again that you should never ever get involved when the vubt issubject is race. ya know, viagra helps guys with erectile dysfunction get and keep an erection. talk to your doctor about viagra. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing.

according to new court documents released yesterday to the associated press, ten years

ago bill cosby admitted under oath of obtaining drugs for the intent of using them with women he wanted to have sex with. cosby admitted to giving one woman quaaludes. and the case settled in 2006. in the trial cosby was asked when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with? >> cosby responded yes. nbc news has now confirmed a total of 36 alleged victims of mr. cosby. though he's never been charged and he and his attorneys have repeatedly denied allegations. joining me now is christina beltran beltran, joan walsh and e mel

buoy. what is interesting here. he says the stark across contrast between bill cosby the public moralist and the criminal conduct is a matter to which the ap and by extension the public has significant interest. it's that phrase the public moralist. that is the most searing when you read the whole statement. >> this is horrific no matter who did it but because he spent so many years now being a public figure. and that i think now the idea that he could sort of claim a certain claim to privacy is being questioned as something he can't really. once you have asserted yourself beyond entertainer into this public realm and moral language, now whorntether or not we buy that distinction is a different

issue. >> i think -- i mean there is no trial right now. this is just effectively the court of public opinion, joan. 36 alleged victims is a terrifyingly high number. >> right and i think we knew enough before we had this deposition for many of us to say we trust these women. when it was 34 you are not so sure and now 36 and okay he admitted to buying quaaludes, okay now we're going to buy it? so i think it's been clear for a long time he's been protected in the court of public opinion and had a lot of defenders. one by one they are leaving him. but there's enough evidence and a pattern of stories so similar that it's pretty clear he's been getting away with this. >> you go back to this standup routine that cosby had in 1969 which was a joke about basically drugging women to have one's way with them. i want to play the tape if people are not familiar with this. bill cosby in 1969.

>> even when i was 13 man, start talking about weird things. no really. standing on a corner. do you know anything about spanish fly? spanish fly. guy standing around talking about spanish fly. always some strange 13-year-old who says you know what you know anything about it? well there is this girl crazy mary. >> first that that joke got laughs tells you something about that time and the gender and sexuality. but the fact he was joking about putting something in women's drinks and having women go unconscious and the darkness the shadow that casts in light of this is pretty profound. >> right. one of the starletingtling things about the number of women that say they have been assaulted by cosby. i think the earliest case goes

back to the 70s. and people just don't start sexual assaulting people out of the blue. and it's totally reasonable to think that every woman who's come forthere areward, there are others who haven't. and what's so troubling about that bit is it kind of lends credence to the idea that there could be 100 women. there could be many more women than we even know who haven't come forward. who may have passed away some time ago. and that cosby's behavior cosby's assaulting could have easily started in the early 1960s. >> yes i think there is also the question about how we talk about these allegations. christina said that the headlines say repeatedly -- and even on this network on the show, cosby said he got drugs to give women for sex. which is a factual telling of the deposition. but the media still will not use

the words bill cosby and rape in a head line. and using rape to describe sexual assault of non consensual acts of domestic violence is a very important distinction. and rape is about power and using sex as the shorthand misrepresents potential crime. >> it is an act of violence. so it is really critical to make that kind of naming. so i think it's really important we talk about this in the context of sexual assault and not just trying to pick up women and i had some lewds. this is a different kind of story that's interesting is that clip you played is an example of what's kind of brilliant about cosby. is great kmooendcomedians, they delve into who they are, and how ironic that there is something about that darkness is somehow apparent in the standup that he was doing. it speaks to what he would go into in some ways. interesting.

>> also this whole thing around the media and what he says the way he describes it it really is there is a continuum of what you need to go to get a woman in the mood for sex. soft music, maybe a glass of wine spanish fly, quaaludes leading to sex, not rape. and that is why the way we talk about it is really important. there is this whole narrative of female desire that is hard to get her started and hard to get her to say yes. there are lots of things to consider to do get her to say that all important yes or i'm asleep or you know. >> and that was widely accepted enough that it could be fodder for jokes. it is hard to get her started so sometimes you need a little assistance. >> right right. and you know i wouldn't be shocked that if you had listened to, you know other cosby bits from beyond that period or before that period you find similar jokes peppered here and there. maybe not so much in the late 70s and 80s when he was kind of

this family comedian. but certainly in his early career. i want to add real quick too that i do think it is. we talked about earlier how the judge opened all of this up because of cosby's status as a public moral iezize moralizer. i guess it would be poetic justice in a sense. for people who have not read the quote pound cake speech from 2004 i recommend reading it. as the remarkable speas of scolding, of dismissiveness of almost contempt for working class african americans and that a judge would say because of this speech you gave in which you are condemning immoral behavior and here you are defending yourself from even worse accusations of behavior now he just would be we can't pretend like these things aren't relevant. so we're going to open up the records and let people decide for themselves. i think there is something really i mean ironic about it

michael pitts. this is the stack you can see it here of amendments going to be offered tomorrow. the house minority leader is calling it filibuster by amendment. the house does not have an actual filibuster process but the procedures they do have means that each could have to be debated at least 20 minutes. 25 minute amendments going to be offered tomorrow. these by an opponent of removing the confederate flag. this is being seen as an attempt to slow walk and potentially try to kill the bill. they said they were prepared for it and that is why they hosted this press conference this morning as the warning to the majority that they do not intend to allow this to work. they want that flag down alex. >> that's michael pitts, joy? >> michael pitts. right. he is an opponent of removing the confederate battle flag. represents a district in a town called lawrence. he's been an opponent of removing the flag for some time.

cruz. if fundraising totals are helping to separate the field, what about the democrats? bernie sanders rallied another monster crowd. and with $15 million he's also raised far more than most republicans but still just a third of hillary clinton's haul. is clinton worried? >> look, you know this is going to be competitive. it should be competitive. it is only the presidency of the united states we're talking about. >> is hillary feeling the burn? >> i don't think she's feeling burned yet. but i do think. >> i mean burn as in bernie sanders. just to be clear. >> she's not been burned yet to be clear. >> so much jokery. >> but i think what she has to worry about or be concerned about at least is the reason why bernie is doing good is not because of his naturally

charisma, great looks or former career as an athlete or whatever it might be. it is because of his issues. his issues are turning out these people. thousands of people. they are the elizabeth warren set of issues. the democratic wing of the democratic party. >> don't you think he'sshe's listening and baked some of that strategy? >> she's tried to absorb some of that but obviously not to the full satisfaction of other people within the party. so to the degree with which bernie is finding these large audience. >> gargantuan. >> gargantuan audiences, bigger than big. shows hillary still has work to do. at the end of the day it think it is very unlikely he'll get more democratic primary votes than she does. but she wants to win decisively and not be alienated from the heart o and soul of her party at the same time.

>> i guess some part of me the cynical political strategist which i only play on television says this is good for hillary. >> i think it is good for hillary and very good for the party. if she has no serious challenge at this point the democratic base would sleep right through the primary and i assume wake up for the election but there is a sense that you need the kresh crescendo. this is very good for her. he can turn a deaf ear to his issues, hasn't teamed sooemd to want -- >> quickly here i don't want to interrupt. >> but you do. >> but i just did. the excitement and passion, if he has more excitement and passion but he's not the winning candidate that ends up being kind of awkward for the party. >> i don't think it has to be necessarily. what happens that becomes problematic is when the party becomes, the leading nominee becomes hostile to that person. it would be very bad to turn on

bernie. >> i don't think she will. >> i don't think so either. and i gives progressives a way into the party. gets them excited. and could you imagine if this was just o'malley and web? like you would want to kill yourself. >> not literally. we just mean it might be kind of boring. >> it would be very very boring. and a way to get progressives from going designed to hillary to more than hillary. he raises issues that hillary had to kind of respond to and pushes the conversation. >> and bernie has been very assiduous in not attacking hillary. her policies or her in character. and he has said and i've spoke on the his people. they say this again and again and again. they won't even do comparison ads. i'm for this. hillary is for that. they are going to stay away interest that. bernie is going to be bernie and talk about the populous economic issues and see where the chips fall. >> and hill -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> speaking of letting people be

themselves donald trump has managed to offend vast numbers of people with his antiimmigrant fear mongering and today a report in the washington post adds another layer to his dubious profile. immigrants working on his hotel reveal that many have crossed the mexican board illegally. none of those interviewed were rapists or criminals. unsurprisingly christina. >> yes. >> counter to his points and rhetoric most people who are here undocumented are just trying to make a better life for themselves. >> turns out people are people and they actually have generally decent. one of the most interesting things about the article is they speak to the dignity and the intelligence of the immigrant workers they are interviewing. they are so much more thought. and intelligent than trump. and also if you want to talk about the complexity of immigration we have to listen to

the voices of immigrants themselves who have political opinions and views on this. the last thing is more than anyone else in the gop field donald trump has benefitted and made wealth off the bodies of immigrant workers. so he is economically dependent on migrate labor. >> as well as chinese labor and mexican labor in china and mexico. >> all over the world. >> yes. >> i actually think this is more of an issue. his rhetoric which speaks to a certain part of the base is more of an issue than the gop would like to acknowledge. >> tremendous issue. i think at the heart of the tea party you can put aside bailouts and government spending. this gets to a cultural identity issue for the tea party. energy and anger and passion. and the touching thing about the washington post, it ended with a physical low who had

fellow who came illegally. he's now legal. and he says you know what? i'm more american than donald trump. >> speaking of who is not american. it's not the segue but we have to talk about. this donald is not alone. two years after paula deen offered a tearful mea culpa. it turns out maybe not so much. just this morning she posted this i love lucy caption along with the caption lucy you got a lot of explaining to do. and her media manager was subsequently fired. >> did he pose for that picture? >> why in brown face? >> okay. the person posted it they're fired. who put the face on? who stood in the kitchen and smiled? and posed at lucy and how sick do they have to be that is the first thing they think of when

a chance of being in a sustainable situation. right now the negotiation is an argument about whether greece can have an extra 1 billion to make one interest payment. >> right. >> they are not anywhere nearly in the kind of orders of magnitude that would allow them to get through this. >> how concerned are you about the repercussions of that? larry summers says historians understand how world war i was allowed to start but still a century later are incredulous it happened. so too they may look at this week and wonder how europe's unraveling was permitted. do you think that a's alarmist? >> i think it's political. it's well written. i think the economists have been saying for some time they thought there were some structural problems in the euro zone that made it fundamentally

quite different from say, the fiscal yoonunion of all the states in the u.s. and if this you were going to try to hold together economies that were very different from one another you were going to need mechanisms to be able to do that to address when some of the countries start getting barraged by different forces than the others. and europe has really not developed that. and i i don't think that austerity is going to get greece growing again. and if greece doesn't grow again they will not be able to pay back this money. >> the austerity argument the clamps that were put on greece in the middle of an economic tail spin a lot of people say damned greece to a certain degree. i wonder if you think that undermines the argument here in the u.s. >> i think it does. we've seen in the last couple of years with obama's policy and european policies that austerity

doesn't really help you when you get in these holes, as austin just ably described, this is a very big hole. and greece cannot get out of this and pay back any of this debt let alone a proportion of it unless it gets economic momentum behind it. but if you clamp down you are basically turning off the engine and you are not going to be able to create the wealth needed. they need to stretch out the payments and allow greece to grow. and the interesting thing is beyond larry somers concern about the financial unraveling, what's happening politically in europe is fascinating. in that you have populist parts in the right and left. all getting together and saying we don't like the austerity. we don't like the international order. and it is feeding, you know, german's -- germany's hard line position here is feeding a lot of pop populistic resentment

throughout the continent. and that may be real problem. >> some say this will draw greece closer to russia and putin. >> yeah though, you know the russians don't have a whole bunch of money to be giving the greeks right now either. so i don't know that -- might draw them closer to russia. but why would you want to go to somebody who doesn't have any money to help you. i think david's raising the specter of these, let's call it radicalization of politics throughout europe is a pretty scary prospect and i they real prospect when you get into really major economic catastrophes or crises like this. i'm not trying to make it out that greece is completely without blame here. i mean in the run up to this period greece did have radically -- they were not collecting taxes. they spent more than they were

earning. >> beloworrowed like it was going out of style. >> yeah. they were living in a certain style that was quite different. when you hear people say, well isn't the u.s. greece? that's totally confused. the u.s. deficit exploded because we had the worst recession of our lifetimes. it was not a permanent choice in the way that the one in greece was at all. >> it is worth noting however that the greeks have felt the austerity measures and if you track the measures in spain and portugal and other troubled economies compared to greece the effects have been felt very pointedly in greece. where the unemployment rate is 25%. the youth unemployment rate is 50%. >> the austerity doesn't look. look at the u.s. examples compared to the european's example. >> thank you for your thoughts and time. coming up house democrats take aim at right-wing hero and outlaw deadbeat cliven bundy.

more on the that after the break.

i want to tell you one more thing i know about the negro. are they better off as slaves picking cotton and having family life and doing things? or are they better off under government subsidy? >> remember him. cliven bundy briefly became right wing. his freelanding days may now be numbered. this week they plan to introduce the cliven bundy amendment. to block the government to issuing any grazing permits to people with unpaid grazing fees. specifically targets people like bundy who owes the government more than a million dollars. he lost most of his support last summer after it came out he was an unapologetic racist.
