Savannah having holiday time this weekend. Were joined by hauta. That guy with the helium balloons, that was a 10 lawn chair. What was he thinking . I know hes trying to promote his cleaning products, but hello. More on that story in a little while. We want to start on a Tuesday Morning with breaking news out of washington state.

It is tedious work. The rescue emergency officials also have to make sure that theyre savefe as well. Matt and hoda. And now to explosive new revelation tied to the bill cosby sex scandal in newly released Court Documents from a 2005 deposition, the comedian admits obtaining sedatives to use on women he wanted to have sex with. National correspondent kate snow is here with more. Good morning. Cosbys lawyers have fought to keep these from being seeing saying they would embarrass him and they were sealed for about a decade. After a request from the Associated Press, a judge from philadelphia said because cosby so often got on a, quote, soap box about moral issues, he no longer has the right to keep all these records private. Bill cosby in his own words admitting he obtained seven prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s and gave them to other people. In documents from a 2000 fave case, cosby was sued from a woman who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her. Before it was settled out of court and dismissed, cosby sat through a woday deposition. Was it in your mind you were going to use the quaaludes for young women you wanted to have sex with . The plaintiffs lawyer asked, cosby replied, yes. He avoided questions about who he gave the drugs to and when or whether he ever coerced or forced women to take drugs. Did you ever give any of those young women the quaaludes without their knowledge, he was asked . Cosbys attorney jumped in, do not answer that question. Cosby described one encounter in las vegas. She meets me backstage, i give her quaaludes, we then have sex. I wouldnt necessarily call this the proverbial smoking gun, but it is kwauberation for the fact that he used drugs when attempting to have sex with women. So it does in a sense take the moral high ground from his position. For barb bowman, who was one of 13 jane does in the case, its vindication. It was a big breath, big sigh of relief, of hope. And looking forward to this next part of this journey because i think this is really just the beginning. In the documents frk the accusers attorney is complaining to a judge that cosbys lawyer was turning the deposition into a carnival, a claim the judge later rejected. The plaintiffs attorney also at one point said to cosby, i think youre making light of a very serious situation. Cosby replied, that very well may be. We reached out to attorneys and representatives of cosby and did not hear back. He has never been charged with a crime with sexual and drug allegations. A couple other things to come out in the Court Documents. Cosby offered to pay for the education of the 2005 accuser if she got a 3. 0 gpa or better, and also confirmation of something we reported last fall, that cosby agreed to give an exclusive interview to the National Enquirer years ago if they agreed not to print a story about one of his other accusers. Revelations in the case. Thank you very much. Lets turn to melber, cohost of the cycle. Good morning to you. Sealed for ten years, this document, this deposition. Now released and revealed. Why now . Basically, revealed because the Associated Press sued for it. Typically, if you have something sealed in this kind of settle settlement or suit, it is gone. We dont see it. The judge finding because he was a public person making sort of a morality crusade, this was fair game. Lets talk about the key exchange. When asked by the plaintiffs attorney, when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with. Cosby replies, yes. So all the allegations that have come forward by women against bill cosby over the last many years now one day, one word, yes, how does it change things legally for them . Legally, this what they call an admission against interest. Here is bill cosby saying that part of the fact pattern that has been in dispute and alleged is in fact true. He did acquire these kind of drugs for this kind of reason. Thats an ingredient in some of the crimes alleged against him. The other exchange, when asked by the same lawyer, did you ever give any of those young women the quaaludes without nar knowledge, and cosbys lawyer jumps in with, do not answer that question. Would that have been an admission of rape . It could be because it would go to the idea he was incapac incapacitateing people to have intercourse. Depending on the state, that alone can constitute raim. If youre a prosecutor in a jurisdiction where a woman has brought an accusation against cosby, based on what you heard this morning and read this morning, do you have cause to bring criminal charges against cosby . Most of the criminal prosecutors who looked at this, including in pennsylvania, said they didnt feel they have the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Pennsylvania and new jersey still have a shot clock ticking, the time has not run out to continue to look at the criminal charges. The criminal side in terms of civil suits against bill cosby, does this open the door to more of those . Absolutely. The civil standard which we all know is lower and this kind of document asian coming from his own mouth and cosbys lawyers arent disputing the accuracy, opens up, i think, a much stronger civil case. Ari, great to have you here. Now moving to politics and donald trump doubling down on his controversial comments about immigration as the republican president ial candidates empire takes another blow. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander has the later on this. Good morning. Good morning to you. Donald trump is now dismissing the latest company that cut ties with him. Thats espn, after espn announced its going to move an upcoming celebrity golf event away from one of trumps courses. Not a big deal, thats what trump said, as he spoke out again on this issue. Now driving a wedge into the Republican Party. At a Charity Golf Event monday night, donald trump teed off again on illegal immigration. Were talking about crime. You saw what happened the other day with the young lady in San Francisco. A disgrace. Trump has seized on the random shooting death of 32yearold kate steinle. Killed while walking along the embark adaro with her father last week. The alleged attacker, a districted felon who federal officials said had been deported to mexico five times. In a jailhouse interview, Francisco Sanchez said he didnt remember what happened but didnt dispute police say he did it. Trump insists it was merely one of thousands of similar incidents throughout the United States. Later he added, Infectious Disease is pouring across the border. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, i assume, are good people. In that statement, trump argued his controversial comments about undocumented immigrants are being deliberately distorted. Trump has quickly divided the Republican Party desperate to win back latino voters. Just 27 supported mitt romneys campaign, down from 40 for george bush in 2004. Im willing to debate here in New Hampshire any time on the issue of immigration. Late monday, trump also insists someone else besides him retweeted a message about rival jeb bush that said bush has to like the mexican illegals because of his wife. Bushs wife is mexicanamerican. Thank you, donald. Thank you. The billionaires whose comments have catapulted him to second place in republican polls says he isnt backing down. The polls are a testament. Now they say im going higher. I think the country is fed up. Still defiant this morning, the Washington Post reports many of the workers building trumps Newest Luxury Hotel right here under crux in washington, d. C. By a contractor, say theyre undocumented workers who crossed the u. S. Mexico border illegally in search of a new life. Trumps spokeswoman told the paper trumps companies and its contractors follow all applicable law. Wow, this story keeps unfolding. Peter alexander, thanks so much. In the meantime, another highprofile gop candidate, governor Chris Christie of new jersey, could be forced to resign because of his white house run. According to reports, democratic lawmakers in new jersey are planning to introduce legislation that would require christie to step down. They say hes been out of the state too much this year. The bill, by the way, would also apply to any future governors. Now to the raging debate over the confederate flag. Lawmakers in South Carolina are one step closer to removing it from state capital grounds. Today, the state senate is expected to give final approval of the bill after a 373 vote in favor of removing the flag. It would then move to the house and could be on governor nikki haleys desk by the end of the week. She has led the charge to remove the flag in the wake of last months shooting at an Historic Black Church in charleston. Lets turn to natalie with the latest on a closely watched meeting involving the United States. The Iran Nuclear Talks and once again, the talks are breaking through their second deadline in a week. Andrea mitchell is in vienna with the latest. Andrea, good morning. Good morning, natalie. The iran tacklks have now been extended for a third time, now until friday. A u. S. Official says they want to focus on the quality of the deal, not the challenges. It is a giant game with iran. The u. S. Does not want to look too eager for a deal. And iran has been upping the ante. They have renewed their call to lift a u. N. Embaurgo on conventional nonnuclear weapons that are preventing iran from buying or selling weapons including ballistic missiles. The u. S. Thinks this would further inflame the wars in syria and iraq, and russia and china who could make money, want to lift the embargo. While this is going on, the republicans back home are having a field day attacking the talks. Republican president ial candidate ted cruz now calling on Hillary Clinton who started the talks in the first place, and on john kerry, to cancel the talks. Saying he wants kerry to return home and stop negotiating with what cruz is calling that vicious enemy, iran. Back to you.

Daniel using the 10 chair and 101 helium balloons. He said he was trying to draw attention to his cleaning product company. Probably got a lot of attention he did not want. He said he intended to parachute himself into the calgary stampede, the citys famous rodeo. What would go wrong there . The weather did not cooperate for him.
