>> reporter: the u.s. embassy could be opening in cuba as early as april 10th. thanks for watching. in just nine hours the people of israel will led to the polls. right now the race for israeli prime minister is razor close. benjamin netanyahu warned supporters on sunday he may lose in tuesday's election. never before have we seen an election play out in america as this has. he made international headlines after slamming the iranian nuclear deal in an address to congress. it was supposed to work. the prime minister was hoping the speech would give him a big jump in the polls. well, that didn't happen. republicans in congress have a similar situation on their hands, criticism over their open letter to iran has been anything but muted. senator tom cotton of arkansas said on sunday he's concerned about iran's influence in the region region. >> the congress stands ready to impose much more severe sanctions, moreover we have to stand up to iran's attempts to

drive for regional dominance. they already control tehran increasedly control dao mass cuss, beirut baghdad and now sanaa as well. >> he is a scholar. senator cotton needs a geography lesson. tehran is the capital city of iran. if we can't trust cotton on basic geography or history, how can we trust him on foreign policy? what is he doing on that committee? secretary of state john kerry had some harsh words for cotton. >> i'm not going to apologize for the -- for an unconstitutional unthought out by somebody who's been in the cincinnati for 60-some days. that's just inappropriate. secretary kerry certainly very clear on this issue. he said congress is not change the executive agreement if finalized. >> it specifically inserts itself directly to the leader of

another country, saying don't negotiate with these guys because we're going to change which, which by the way is not only contrary to the constitution with respect to the executive's right to negotiate, but it is incredible, because they cannot change an executive agreement. >> so once again republicans are spreading lies playing games with high-stakes nuclear negotiations. they could care less about the consequences, it appears. republicans just want to undermine this president again. earlier today secretary kerry met with iranian officials in switzerland to work on the nuclear deal. iran's nuclear chief said quote, he was very optimistic heading into today's talks. officials said they are working towards an end of march deadline. at that point they want a framework that addresses elements of a comprehensive deal. tom cotton's letter was brought up today. officials would not comment on what was said about the letter.

this el did call the letter a distraction. this is truly a classic example of a tea partier who was supported by outside money in a big way to go to washington and to cause problems for this president. cotton doesn't know his rear end from third back but he is the chosen one from the republican party to make a fool of himself, and he got away with it to a certain extent. what secretary kerry said was long overdue and on the mark. get your cell phones out -- do republicans respect bet mention netanyahu more than barack obama? text your answers, and of course you can go ahead my video podcast at. let me bring in dean object dalea rabbi from values network, and the president of plowshares fund.

looking at these negotiations and paying attention to what secretary kerry said about congress's ability, that they can't change it what can congress do, to be very clear on this? what was the overall purpose of this her? i think as much to quite people as anything else. >> this was a very ill-considered and illiterate letter getting many of the constitutional facts wrong. the executive, the president, makes scores of such agreements. ronald reagan made 1500 executive agreements. richard nixon made hundreds of executive agreements including the diplomatic recognition of china, perhaps one of the most significant foreign policy decisions of the last 60 years, and the end of the vietnam war. executive agreements. congress never voted. will congress get to vote on this iran deal? yes, but not the way they're asking for it not an up or down vote. most of the sanctions placed on iran are congressionally

mandated, so only congress can lift them. congress has the ultimate authority here. after there's a deal we this weigh in and decide whether to lift them or not. if they're smart, they'll listen to the president and secretary kerry who say let the sanctions stay in place for two years. let's waive them temporarily. if iran complies then you can vote on whether you want to lift them. >> joe, based on the letter and based on what is being reported for today's negotiations it appears threat not a real impact to this letter. what's your read on it? >> i believe the iranians are trying to use this for leverage. the republican letter aided the hard-liners in iran. they're going to demand a higher price. they want more sanctions relief faster, and they're using this as an argument for why they should get it. dean obdela are they -- -- is

this something they regret? >> tom cotton thinks it's the greatest deal ever. when you hear the words of people like rand paul who said the other day, this letter wasn't really directed to the iranians, but the obama administration, guess what? it's not, rand. he's backing off. john mccontained said a snowstorm was coming so we just did this quickly. they're backing off. i don't think they ever expected the back lash. social media lit up for two days. plus, if you look at polls of republicans, barely 52%d -- barely 50% agree with the letter. >> rabbi, what if benjamin netanyahu does not retain his seat as the israeli prime

minister? what does that say? what does it do to all of this? >> it says israel is a democracy democracy. one thing they are united about is the op sips to this iran deal. we can dump on senator cotton's her all we want. clearly it had some impact even if it's condemnation. i know it's tehran, because my father-in-law is from tehran. >> just to be clear, we're talking about it today, because the negotiations didn't blow up in the wake of this effort by the republicans in the 47 senators that did sign it. i mean their name is on the line here. they have been trying to circumvent these goes for some time. this apparently has backfired. a lot of people have made the contention between netanyahu and this her, and the perception is this has hurt netanyahu.

you say it's not a big deal. it is a big deal of course especially for a nation like israel that does face existential threats. i'm saying there is it means that israel is democrat sick. whoever is in that chair as prime minister has said they will oppose this deal with iran. maybe herzog will have a better relationship with president obama, but it will go south very quickly if he also speaks out against the deal. in the final analysis i'm not sure the congressional republicans wanted to circumvent the deal. i think they wanted to participate. the problem with the deal is secretary kerry says stop criticizing it you don't know what's in it. wait until what? under it's finished? the secrecy behind it is what is so telling. everyone is just kind of speaking around the deal they want more sanctions, less sanctions. what is the deal? why can't we get a straightforward answer about what is the deal? >> what is the deal? >> the deal is still being

negotiated. i have to disagree with the other guests. i think many people in the israeli and -- are final with negotiating a deal. concern? yes, if we don't get it by the 30th or 3169 that's when it probably collapses. when you deal is announced, i think people will be pleasantly surprised at how restrictive and how much iran has to roll back. >> there's a lot of regrets going on around here.

i think the problems have to do more with just talking about iran. there was a big report from israel about the comptroller about housing issues. i think there's -- really focused on. >> rabbi, what do you want the units to do if a deal doesn't get reached? what's next? >> there's no question there has to be very severe sanctions that are increased because that's the only reason that the mullahs are talking to us. they don't need any peaceful nuclear program. they have it only to get a bomb. not to see that is to evade reality in the worst possible way. >> do you agree with that joe? >> the official national intelligence 12i789 is the irani leadership has not yet decided whether to build a bomb and they gave up a formal program in to 03.

are they looking for a hedge? the technology to build a bomb? yes, our job is to convince them that there are more cost toss pursuing a bomb than any possible benefits. >> are you seriously suggesting that an oil superpower that is an exporter of energy needs this knew nuclear energy especially when they pay for it with international sanctions across the world? why are they doing this if not to get a bomb? >> i agree they are hedging their bets here. do they need nuclear? no they don't, but need does emirates neither does saudi arabia. >> it's all because of tehran. it's now a nuclear race. that's the problem. >> our job is to stop the iran program and roll back the efforts in these other countries. that's a decades-long ever. congress can be involved in all of this all the way out.

>> why is is there a sunset clause in ten years? if you're saying our job is to stop them from getting it how could the possibly support a deal that allows them to do whatever the heck they want after a decade. >> no it doesn't. there will still by stringent inspections in there. the nuclear weapons ban is forever. they can't do whatever they want. ten years is a long time. >> so there's no sunset clause. >> there would be various limits on various parts of the deal but we'll see is in about a week or so. >> here we go again, signing on to a deal we don't know about. >> i think we need to talk about verification. i think a lot of people would have angst around the globe if we did not have measurement of verification verification. dean, how open do you think iranians will be on this? it certainty seems to be something that secretary kerry doesn't seem it's too big a hurdle. iran has to know if they're not going to allow verifiable look

to make sure that the breakout limits preventing nim from building a bomb within a year limited to one year before they could get a bomb if they can't do that then none of this means anything. now we're just having conversations and going nowhere. >> i think dean is exactly right. >> thank you all, i appreciate the conversation very much. certainly a lot to unpack on this very crucial issue. thanks a lot. remember to answer tonight's question there. share your thoughts with us on twitter and on facebook. coming up robert durst faces a judge day, his attorney joins me next. plus dry summer it is. california is almost out of drinking water. a nasa scientist is here to explain what's going on. keep it here.

>> reporter: the series reexamines three crimes the disappearance of his wife a 2000 murder in texas for which he was acquitted after standing trial, and the must have had he was arrested for late saturday. the show's finale aired sunday night, just hours after news of durst's arrest became public. in it durst is confronted with a potential damning piece of evidence that could tie his handwriting to a note sent by the presume killer. definitely wrote this but i definitely did not write that. he goes into a bathroom with his microphone still on. that's it. you're caught. >> reporter: and begins talking to himself. >> killed them all, of course. firms former prosecutor who investigated durst back in 2020 during the time of berman's

murder. >> susan berman was killed because she knew too much about kathleen durst, the case i was investigating, and he knew shah she knew. i believe that he murdered her to prevent her from talking to us. >> kathleen durst's friends feel one step closer to justice. >> if he's convicted for the murder of susan, i'll take what i can get. if there's more forensic evidence there, why not? you can only put him away once. >> durst's estranged brother expressioned his family's thanks -- we are relieved and also grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of robert durst. we hope he will finally be held accountable for all he has done. >> we're joined tonight by famous defense attorney thomas mesereau. good to have you with us tonight. this is a real unbelievable case to say the least. the audiotape of a man talking to himself in the bathroom. how do you view this this

bathroom tape? will this be admissible in court? >> it will be admissible if the prosecutors want to admit it. if the defense trying to admit it, which i don't think they will, it would be called hearsay and it will be excluded but the prosecutors have to be careful if they try to introduce it. if they do that they may own the door for the defense to bring in the rest of the interview, called the doctrine of completeness. when i defended michael jackson, the prosecution was screaming and yelling he had incriminated himself with an interview with martin bashir. they brought in that piece. because of that i was able to bring in other parties, some of which were excluded, which exonerates himself repeatedly. we didn't have to put him on the stand, but he had already testified. i was robert blake's lead lawyer for a long period of time in his case. the prosecution did the same thing. they took a small piece of an interview and introduced it as

an admission, and doing that let the defense bring in the whole interview, and he didn't have to testify and be cross-examined. sometimes be careful what you wish for. i don't think this assist particularly as damning as other people. >> you think it's a high bar for the prosecution? >> i think they need to be very careful. i'm smelling hubris all over this. he has an excellent defense lawyer, and i think the prosecution better be real careful how they behave. >> what role will the producers of this -- "the jinx" play in this trial? >> well again, i don't know all the evidence but they're likely to be subpoenaed as witnesses and be cross-examined on the tactics, on the editing policy. i'm told their timeline has a lot of problems in that documentary. i suspect the last thing they said to do is be witnesses in a

murder trial involving mr. durst. >> why were the producers of a television show able to do what law enforcement couldn't do? >> there were many strange aspects. apparently they had this tape for years. it just was under wraps, wasn't turned over. why was that happening? apparently they have other portions of a documentary they did not include in it which are likely to be fair game for the defense. i suspect that a lot of unexpected developments will happen in this case. don't limb your view of mr. durst to this one quote. it may backfire. >> mr. mesereau what about the letter, this these a hell of a coincidence, the lettering and the way "beverly" was not spelled correctly, and adadmailings that goes lookic that. did someone obtained that envelope from him under suspicious circumstances? again, there are a lot of details we don't know.

you can't just jump to conclusions with what you see on the surface at this point in time. >> why would durst agree toe even participate in a series? how will this hurt him moving forward? this is as strange as it gets. >> notice it is strange. someone under suspicion for three homicides, one of course he was acquitted of, should not be giving interviews but people can't help themselves. robert blake gave an interview, i thought it was a bad idea it turned out a great idea. michael jackson gave an interview, and it turned out to be great for us. people seem to have a compulsion to explain themselves. sometimes that gets them in deeper trouble. >> mr. mesereau i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you. we reached out to durst's attorney who told us that robert durst is eager to prove his innocence. we'll continue to follow story

welcome back to "the ed show." the man accused of shooting two ferguson police officers arrived in court today. 20-year-old jeffrey williams was charged with two counts of assault in the first degree and one count the firing a weapon from a vehicle. the motive behind the shooting is still unclear. >> he has acknowledged his participation. at this point it's possible he was firing at someone other than the police but struck the officers. he may have had a dispute with other individuals or felt some dispute. i'm not sure we completely buy that part of it. >> police say witnesses saw protesting before the shooting. some activists dispute the assertion.

the gun was recovered saturday night, and it matches shell casings from the scene. he didn't have an attorney present at the briefing today. he could face life in prison if convicted of the charges. joining me is tri -- trymaine national reporter. >> when i asked kind of working with these communities, talking to folks, interviewing the activists, i have a good sense of who these folks are and what they're about. almost to a person they said they don't know anything about williams. one bishop derek robinson said he had seen him at church with a youth group, but had no seen him on the street at all. so the next the family is currently trying to raise funds to get a private attorney. if not, the expectation is he'll

get a public defender. >> the activists are disputing -- are activists disputing any of the police allegations in any of this? >> most of them don't know what happened, at least those i spoke with. but there is this contention of is he is a protester? has he been a part of this? since august these protests have been kind of community events but as time has gone on you've had kind of a small committee group that will ranges in the dozens or so so folks are saying to make it seem like he's a protester, he's one of the many that can riddle off the demands at once. i asked chief belmer on friday there's a lot space between the line of officers and where the muzzle flash came from. is it possible at all that this shooter might have been aiming at someone else and just missed?

he said it's clearly possible and so that's kind of where we are. folks are not necessarily disputing whether he aimed at the officer or not, but that he's not one of us. >> not one of es meaning there's not a lot of people in the community that can identify him as a regular protesters. am i hearing that correctly? >> that's correct. trymaine lee, i appreciate your time tonight. in our discussion last week i suggested that police officers in ferguson probably should go without some firearms because we're talking about changing a community. of course, i was played up on fox news as the fool of the week. well i know that fox and facts don't seem to go together very well in the news world, so i thought i should point out, because i nigh i had read this and i did "the washington post," february 18th, check it out there's an article by a journalist named nowack says there's five countries where

police officers walk the beat unarmed. that's great britain, ireland, norway iceland and in zealand. in fact 82% of the police officers in great britain would rather not carry a firearm. there are 12 of 16 pacific island nations where their police officers walk the beat without firearms. i knew what i was talking about, and once again the people on fox didn't have a clue. stick around we'll be right back. i'm hampton pearson with your cnbc market wrap. stocks begin the week with a rally. the nasdaq adds 27 and the s&p climbs at 57. one stock not participating in today's rally, netflix, which was downgraded to a sell by ever core. shares finished down more than $16 or nearly 4% and blackstone group is buying chicago's willis

welcome back to the "the ed show." i'm coming to you live from miami, where we're working on a climbed change series. here in the state of florida, there's too much water. such is not the case in california. in fact california's multiyear drought is reaching a critical point, one of nasa's top scientists says the state has only about a year's worth of water left in the reservoirs. the state would need 11 trillion gallons of water to recover from this drought, with less precipitation and depleting

resources, california is running low on options. >> california is ground zero for drought. >> empty lakes and riverbeds, free throw orchards left to wither and dry. >> the worst drought in over 1200 years. >> there's no state that is worse off. >> more than 58% of california is in exceptional drought. >> california is so water squeezed right now that voluntary conservation is not enough. >> we will see increaseses demand for irrigation at a time we're going to see increasing temperatures increasing evaporation. >> less than one fifth the snowfall that you would expect. much of that snow pack produces the irrigation for the central valley. >> without the snow melt without the water running into the san joaquin river, it's returning drive. >> emergency reserves from which we are borrowing is now reaching

the critical stage. >> landowners will have to put very heavily on the groundwater. this is a state that's feeling very much the effects of climate change. >> it's a crisis with ripple effects across the entire nation. >> you can't put your head in the sand and say it's going to go away. you have to plan for it. >> joining me tonight, professor jay eddie, he was from the university of california and senior water scientist at nasa's jet propulsion lab. professor great to have you with us tonight. >> the story tells a very desire situation. what has to happen here, professor? >> you're right. i think your setup was excellent and really painted the complete pictures of what's happening in california with the reservoirs at the very low levels and the groundwater being depleted.

my personal pin is we need to look at the situation holistically, and plan for the future. that probably means mandatory rationing. and if we can't -- we have this landmark groundwater legislation that was recently passed. that will help in the long run, but i think in the short run we're going to have some issues with managing our groundwater not fex knew decades. >> what kind of restrictions would work in your opinion? have you researched that? >> yeah we talk and think about these sorts of restrictions all the time. again this is my personal opinion. the -- first and foremost are conservation and efficiency work well. unfortunately the voluntary

nature of that hasn't been working so well so perhaps we have to move to mandatory restrictions. >> well professor, if you've only got one year of drinking water remaining, i mean that is -- in the world's eighth largest economy, that's hard to comprehend. >> i agree. you're right. it's really difficult to wrap your brain around but that's a year of water in our reservoirs but we still have groundwater. the problem is if we move to 100% reliance on groundwater, we will be depleted a limited and finite supply as an extremely unprecedented rapid clip. that would leave under the circumstances vulnerable to future doubt, which i think we can expect. >> what role does nasa play in this? >> beyond the research we are

working towards more applications, and getting this information into the hands of water managers into the hands of farmers and the u.s. drought monitor, and the flood prediction agencies so that's more on the application side. we're working very hard these days on trying to target what we can do for agriculture. that's where we use all the water. >> here is a what senator cruz had to say about nasa during a budget hearing last week. >> i would suggest that almost any american would agree is the core mission of nasa is to explore space. i am concerned that nasa in the current environment has lost its full focus on that core mission. >> professor, i just believe that deserves a response. your thoughts on that? >> well of course you're asking

a nasa earth scientist and a person who's staked hi entire career on nasa earth science satellites. i respect the senator's opinion. i think i watched the youtube clip, saw administrator's boldin's thought. my personal opinion is the state lines have revolutionized our understanding of how our complex earth works, and have really paved the way for great advances in understanding and monitoring and predicting flooding and drought, sea level rise ice sheets melting, groundwater depletionings which is the area i work on. without these satellites the human security the water security, the food security and

the energy security of all americans would be at tremendous list to borrow a line from my own op-ed -- we would be up a creek. >> if i could edit it down to one sentence we would be a heck of a different world without nasa. i appreciate your time professor. >> thank you. and the state of california? a dire situation. we'll follow the story. at this hour diplomatic talks hit a critical in aing in havana cuba. stay with us. we're right back on "the ed show." i felt trapped in that i was investing in a health care industry that i didn't believe in. for years i really struggled with this idea that people were making money off my illness and i wanted to do something different and so i finally made that change.

in change. >> and finally tonight, the united states and cuba have entered into the third round of talks working to restore diplomatic relations. assistant secretary of state roberta jacobson is in havana to meet with her cuban counterpart. president obama says he hopes the united states will open up an embassy in cuba before a western hemisphere summit in panama next month. reaction to president obama's policiship on cuba has been widespread. many republicans have been outspoken about their opposition. >> it's par for the course with an administration that is constantly giving away unilateral concessions whether it's iran, or in this case cuba in exchange for nothing. >> the united states has made it official, we're going to use taxpayer dollars to prop up another communist dictatorship in our hemisphere. 90 miles away. >> before agreeing to restoring ties cuba wants to be removed from the state department's list of state sponsors of terrorism.

the country also wants to find a bank womenilling to handle transactions for its diplomatic posts in the united states. joining me tonight on the subject, annette, vice chair of the florida democratic party. senator byron dorgan with us. also mitch, dnc executive board member. great to have you with us. senator, you first. what are the hurdles here? are we going to make progress? when you've got the chatter in the background like rubio and a few others who are so negative on this whole thing. >> oh i know. i mean it's very easy to oppose these things. i'm encouraged by what the president has done. it's long past the time for this to be done and, you know normalization with cuba is the right policy. this long-term embargo that we've had that has been a failure in my judgment is nothing -- it hurts the poor people in cuba. it has not moved cuba toward greater human rights. so you know i'm encouraged by what the president has done and i think these normalization

talks will proceed and finally, finally we will have a better policy with respect to cuba. >> i would imagine after 50 years there's going to be a few snags along the way. nothing is going to be perfect. one of the big issues here annette, is human rights. of course, there's still protests here in florida dealing with this after time that there are negotiations. how do we -- how do we settle this? >> well first of all, human rights should always be our number one thing that we should be going for, and i believe that president obama and the administration, that's what they're doing. and we can't confuse diplomatic relations with actually, you know opening an embassy and having talks with real opening of relationships with cuba. they're two totally different thing. our goal our ultimate goal is freedom in cuba freedom of expression freedom of all those political prisoners and the fact cuba will be just like america. that's a long way away. this is the beginning of the

conversations with a regime where we haven't had conversations in 55 years almost? >> mitch, we had 170,000 authorized u.s. travelers went to cuba in 2014. more than twice that number of visitors in 2011. what would unrestricted travel for u.s. citizens do for cuba? as you see it? i mean, i've been down to cuba. i went down there on an agricultural mission back in 2003. the people were very very warm and receptive. what would it be like if things were normal? >> well, ed, as you know, it's allowed currently, if it's a religious, educational, or charitable organization which is pretty wide, but i think people are showing more and more interest in cuba. it's really not about cuban cigars anymore. i think there's some mystique about it kind of like you know, where they used to talk about years ago china the forbidden city. it's a place people haven't seen for a long time, it's a throwback. i think the people of cuba are

just dying for the socialization, and for the right to be able to do person to person. that's what president obama talked about. person-to-person contact. let them see who americans are, and i think the driving force for that cultural exchange will be the young people. currently, you can't break away from the way it's set up. if they can go out there and meet people, i think that would go a long way in having the populous be the catalyst for pushing their government to accelerate this type of exposure. >> senator, what's the dynamic here? some u.s. officials have said that sanctions against venezuela should not effect the cuba talks. your talks on that. how delicate is that? >> well i think cuba is a separate and very unusual situation. you know, the history with cuba going way back to the cuban missile crisis bay of pigs and just a lot of history here. but it's clear to me that we should deal with cuba on its own. the president i think has made

the right choice. this is about trying to find ways to lead toward greater human rights in cuba but the embargo has not worked. the embargo has been a failure for nearly a half a century. when you keep doing something that doesn't work, it makes a lot of sense to decide to do something else. that's exactly what will be the case and think it's going to benefit the people of cuba and move them toward better human rights in my judgment. >> a lot in the cuban community here in florida are against this. what's going to change your mind? >> you know something? there was celebration in the streets of havana when this was announced. >> no doubt about it. here in america was different. annette, not about that. >> not necessarily, i'll be honest with you. i think there's been a shift with cuban-americans. even here in miami. and i believe that obviously the older generation are against it but we have a tremendous amount of people, i would say the majority of people in miami, and in florida, and cuban-americans are in favor of trying something new. after all, it hasn't worked. like the senator just said.

55 years trying one thing. we need to try something different. >> mitch, is this a tightrope that -- a political tightrope that rubio and some others are walking here on this to be against it? >> well it is but it shouldn't be. bush and rubio are totally locked into the cuban community in south florida. the other presidential candidates really don't need to be because they're never going to get the support of the cuban folks who are in miami. that belongs to rubio and to jeb bush. we had predicted when this first came out, i had said that rand paul was going to separate himself as he did a couple of days later. i think you might see someone like i predict scott walker start talking about bringing in u.s. products and being able to do that, he breaks away from the traditional view. that base is locked down. they have nowhere to go but perhaps with history. >> all right. great to have all of you with us tonight. annette taddeo senator byron

dorgan and mitch on "the ed show." thanks so much. that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz. "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton begins right now. good evening rev. good evening, ed. thanks to you for tuning in. we've got a busy show tonight including developments out of ferguson where the suspected police shooter was in court today. and the big break in the robert durs durst case. arrested on first-degree murder charges. will audio from a tv documentary where he says he quote, killed them all, will it be admissible in court? that's all ahead. but we start with tonight's "lead." republicans holding loretta ly flrks nch's attorney confirmation up so they can push abortion. lynch has waited longer for a floor
