durst. polls just closed. it is tuesday, march 17th and this is "now." >> benjamin netanyahu is fighting for his political life today. >> it's a real nail-biter at this point. >> netanyahu has been promising to reverse policy and to not recognize the palestinian's faith. >> there was another hail mary today. >> in the animal kingdom there's nothing more dangerous than a panicked politician. we have breaking news this hour. polls have just closed in israel's parliamentary elects where weeks after a partisan address in front of congress,

benjamin netanyahu is in the political battle of his life. hours ago he delivered a national address denouncing foreign funds funneled to quote, leftist groups opposing his reelection. an american billionaire has poured much of his fortune on netanyahu's behalf. he made a last-ditch appeal to his conservative base posting this video on facebook. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> arab israelis are citizens of the country and are eligible to vote in its elections. it could have significant rep

repercussions here in the united states. president obama has pushed for a two-state solution to the israeli-palestinian conflict. those are two issues where he is at odds are prime minister netanyahu. there would be no palestinian state as long as he is prime minister telling the israeli news site nrg, there is a real threat here that a left-wing government will join the international community and follow its orders. joining me now from tel aviv is ben burnbalm and jeremy. ben, let me start with you over in tel aviv. what can you tell us about turnout? there was a lot of speculation that there would be increased turnout, specifically among arab-israelis. >> that's correct, alex. we're still getting indications of how high turnout is going to

be. it is going to be least five percentage points from the last election. the question is who is that going to help? we're not quite sure yet. >> jeremy, in terms of just how endangered prime minister netanyahu is tell me your thoughts on this. where do you land on that? >> i have to see the exact numbers. the system is unbelievably complex. there are probably anywhere from 8 to 10 to 11 parties that will end up with seats. nobody is going to come out of this with enough support to form a government on their own and the process of putting it all together is going to take weeks. if herzog beats net nanyahunetanyahu,

he'll get the first crack at forming the coalition and he should be able to piece it together. >> ben, has netanyahu's last-ditch pulling out all the stopped appealed to the conservative base alienated certain parts of the electorate? >> yeah. it's too early to say. basically what you have seen in the final days is netanyahu and herzog, they've been trying to cannibalize other parties on the right or the left. netanyahu was sort of waving the flag if the gap that had opened up in the polls between labor didn't close, that you were going to get a left-wing government that was backed by the arabs, that was backed by

international funds, that was going to do all sorts of terrible things. the early indications i'm seeing is this is hurting inging bennett, the more right-wing candidate. >> there's a lot of speculation in the united states about netanyahu's powercontinuing power means for the united states. in terms of the palestinian state comments how much of that do you think is a surprise to this white house, for example? >> well you know they went through years now of dealing with prime minister netanyahu saying that he supports a two-state solution but then having a government that was doing everything possible to undermine it expanding settlements and its behavior towards the palestinian and its broader actions on the west bank and gaza.

i don't think it is a huge surprise to hear him say that outloud. it is a good thing to get that clarified and have it out there rather than saying out of one side of his mouth i want a two-state solution and then he doesn't. >> the republican party platform specifically outlined edd support for a two-state solution. one would think netanyahu's statements yesterday complicates his support from republicans here at home. >> netanyahu is real a rock star before republicans, so i think they would support him no matter what. but here domestically it is somewhat of a surprise. netanyahu really was making some more pragmatic moves, especially

in the last negotiations, at least as far as his history was concerned. to hear him abandon everything he said in the last five years, a lot of people would say that is b.b. >> in terms of political survival, what happens with iran in terms of the nuclear deal? netanyahu has not be shy in ex expressing his distaste for the deal? >> if he continues to stay in power, they know they're in for a fight and they're going to have their hands full with the republicans in congress and jewish organizations that will be fired up by netanyahu to take their opposition to the democratic party on the hill as well. if herzog comes to power, there

won't be a substantive gap on the iran issue. a fair amount of opposition to the deal within herzog's own security advisers the style and the way in which they would pursue that would be far more diplomatic. it won't cause a rift between the u.s. and israel the way netanyahu's behavior has threatened to do over the past couple of weeks. >> we have some breaking information exit polls tonight. again, the smaller parties here are going to make all the difference. right now an arab party is coming in third. after the break, gop

was it the haters the decorators or the lavish events funded by taxpayers? six weeks after revelations

congressman aaron schock decorated his office in "downton abbey" style, he has resigned. i do this with a very heavy heart, but the constant questions have proven a great distraction which has made it difficult for me to serve the people of the eighth district with the high standards they deserve. for weeks of -- buzzfeed released a report that schock spent money on a mock lecturn.

turns out the pheasant feathers were just the beginning. joining me now my guests. the wall paint, the wall paper, that launched a thousands inquiries. did you have any idea that you would would be opening a door to aaron schock's red room of pain? >> no, i had no idea. i thought it was crazy. >> the staff's reaction was the first signal of where there's smoke there's fire. >> for me i didn't know this is what the fire would be. i thought there might be something that he was going to be embarrassed by what the place looked like and maybe the people back home wouldn't have loved the design but i never thought it was going to open up a whole

series of ethics scandals. >> we joke about the red room and the "downton abbey" decor, but certainly the allegations continue to mount. the latest a very shady property deal to the tune of 600,000 that may have been enabled by schock donors is straight up corruption. that is a very serious allegation. >> first, congratulations to ben for getting this story going and getting other reporters on. that's really an important job for any reporter in washington to do, so kudos to you, ben. i can't keep track. i made a cheat sheet of all the scandals that have come up in the last few weeks. it is not just this property deal but took out a mortgage from donors for 600,000. he sold his private home for

200,000 to 300,000 more than its value to a donor before the political campaign. he put it on his forms that he drove his car 170,000 miles so he could get reimbursed for those miles. you get 50 cents or more per mile. when it was given back to the donor, it had only 80,000 miles on it. he may have bilked others out of $50,000 on that. he is more into plunder than captain jack sparrow. >> the further inquiries came as a result of all the photos that aaron schock was posting to his website. this is someone who celebrated his travels, his luxurious lifestyle, and his various

interests. i wonder how much that contributed to his downfall. >> i was taking pictures in his office and they didn't want me to share them. they struck me as an office that wanted to share his cool exploited. i didn't want to write the story about the office. >> they invited you. they solicited you to show you the decor, right? >> no. i was going to have a informational coffee with their press person because i thought he would be someone interesting to profile at one point. i had heard about the office from somebody who had seen it but it wasn't enough to get me interested. >> but they suggested you come to the office. >> i suggested let's go to cafeteria and we could get a coffee. that's why i was there. >> there you go. beyond the various levels of on

fis -- i refuse to accept the idea that the role of government is to spend taxpayer dollars in the name of creating jobs. perhaps he thinks it shoibuld be in the name of decorating offices. >> he is not coming across as the swiftest person on any of these scandals. the best quote -- maybe the best quote of the year so far is when the reporter asked him if he had broken any laws and he said i certainly hope not. he now has lawyered up. i think these are very serious charges that could lead to possibly a criminal challenge that he would face and that leaves us to the question you

thanks for joining me. >> thanks for having me. >> this is ongoing developing story, but what do we know about this guy? an air force veteran fighting to join isis. >> look it's not that unusual. you remember cases like nadal hasan hasan. unfortunately, this individual is a bit odd. he had been abroad for many years. supposedly his radicalization took place over a good period of time in the late 1990s when al qaeda was in its naycency.

if you look at his facebook profile, certainly there's evidence of a lot of support for the armed wing of hamas, but that's not isis. there's also mention of anwar al awlaki. there's a lot of stuff on isis on his facebook profile, but the question is what was he going to do and why was he going there. >> and he's not pleading guilty to this. how difficult is to convict somebody on charges like this? >> the u.s. government doesn't file charnlges like this unless they are exceedingly confident

they have a case. now whether or not there's evidence that could be presented in court and whether or not there could be a conviction, that's another question. the truth is the conviction rate in cases like this is exceedingly high. >> this comes weeks after the three brooklyn men were accused of trying to aid isis. how much does this represent an uptick -- are american authorities changing their initial assessment that isis would not gain a foothold in recruiting americans to fight overseas? >> when you say the u.s. government, who is in the u.s. government? nobody at the fbi or the department of homeland security believed that isis was a jv team or have difficulty in recruiting americans. nobody believed that. i have worked with the fbi and

doj and the department of homeland security for two and a half years. nobody here took this as a small problem. everybody was deathly afraid of this. the fact that this has only been acknowledged recently, that's only certain branchs of the government. isis is clearly is more able -- is better able to recruit english speaking westerners and al qaeda and any of these groups have in the past. >> we'll be looking for the footholds they have established for those english speaking westerners. always good to see you. >> thank you very much. just ahead, can a no foam extra hot latte solve america's race problem? that's next on "now." w are you? aleve, proven better on pain.

>> it might be harder to hit romney than you think. he was able to flip-flop on issues so quickly. >> i see how you did that. romney back and forth. should it be illegal for a charlotte man to parade naked in front of his neighbors while speak technically standing on his own property. >> they're >> it should be against the law. although he's in his house, he's buck naked. >> he's physically in his home. it's a private residence. >> if he were to walk outside and stand in his driveway -- >> it is an area that's readily accessible to the public. >> this guy is confident.

i used to be a lawyer. the spirit of the law is to protect people from seeing nudity. children could see you naked. your neighbors could see you naked. it is worse than the gym. >> alex, if you're david beckham, it's okay. >> that's not fair. where do you land on this? to dean's point, assuming this guy just likes to talk nude on the cell phone and it is not a sexual perversion of any kind is there a civil liberties issue here? >> it must be a perversion of some kind to have your door open and be exposing yourself in that way. there's this weird loophole of public place and he's not technically in a public place,

but he is flashing. his intent is to flash. who stands at their front door naked like that? >> people vacuum naked. >> outside the door? >> he is a menace with a penis and that is a problem with his neighbors. >> we know it is time to wrap up the segment. thank you guys all for your time. coming up what goes on inside robert durst's head? it is a question my next guest has been asking for more than ten years. that's just ahead on "now." no matter who you are, if you have type 2 diabetes, you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine ... what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar?

problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.

after being officially charged last night with first-degree murder by the los angeles da robert durst appeared in court again today in new orleans where he will remain until a bail hearing next monday on local felon, firearm, and drug possession charges. this afternoon we learned durst will be transferred to a correctional facility outside of new orleans for medical reasons, though it is unclear what medical condition he is suffering from.

for a second day today, durst's lawyers insisted on their client's innocence. >> bob durst did not kill susan berman. he doesn't know who did. that having been said my concern is that the warrant that was issued in california was issued because of a television show and not because of facts. we want to get to california as quickly as we can so we can get into the court of law. >> the television show they're referring to is hbo's "the jinx," which aired robert durst saying to a hot mic in the bathroom, quote, he killed all. durst is also linked to the murder of his neighbor in texas, a murder he was acquitted of even after admitting to dismembering the body. he is linked to the 1982 disappearance of his wife cathy, who has since been declared

legally dead. >> the revelation was like something we've been waiting for for 33 years. i believe bob will somehow have an epiphany of conscious. enough is enough. this is what cathy would want. >> joining me now is robert draper. good to see you. >> my pleasure alex. >> in terms of the contention that robert durst may have a sort of mea culpa moment, that there is a confession coming up does that sound feasible to you? his brother has called him incapable of telling the truth, a true psychopath beyond any emotions. >> i'm no scientist, but my

sense is he is a sociopath. he's unable to express empathy. unable to have a pang of conscious. i understand the need for cathy durst's brother to feel that way. he's remained hopeful that there will be closure, but i don't think it will be provided by robert durst. has he wanted to get caught? is that what this is about? >> let's talk about that. at one point, the bathroom confessional he says i want this. there's the question of why he approached two documentary filmmakers to tell his side of the story knowing that it would just open up past and potentially settled history and then there's the weird things he's been doing for years. the public urination, the various spectacles he has made of himself. is that a cry for attention in

some way? >> it may be a cry for attention. i would hesitate to say it is an effort to get caught and to bring all of this to an end. i think for whatever reason durst likes dancing on a razor's edge. at times, he was dressed like a woman and kept to himself. but at other times he would be out at drag clubs and be on the sea wall purchasing drugs. finally after he gets a new lease on life, when his attorney got him off while nonetheless admitting he killed his neighbor instead of regarding that as a new lease on life and just keeping low, he materializes on the lawn of his

brother and then he decides, for reasons of his own, to tell his own story to a documentary filmmaker. precisely why he would put himself out like is another bizarre turn. >> i want to talk about the neurological issues that his lawyers say he is having. to go back to your investigative piece from the turn of the millennium on robert durst, you talk a little bit about his dancing on the edge the fringes, specifically as it concerns drag queens and the transgender community, at one time robert durst was trying to score hormone therapy drugs. a dis-- do you think there's something more there? >> i think there might be something more there. my source on that was a companion of his who had been

seen frequently by other people with durst. the story checks out at a certain point. this individual transgender person who hung with durst at a time when durst was posing a woman, roberta klein, has explained his motive to me for wanting to get these hormone drugs, that he did want to complete a transgender and wanted to undergo a sex change. it's unclear if that's really what he wanted to do for its sake or if he wanted to do it to completely melt into galveston, texas, society as an individual that is not robert durst. when he read that portion of my story, he told his attorney that was all baa -- baloney.

>> when you were researching your story and as you found out things that are pertinent to the investigation of let's say susan berman's death, do you think they did anything questionable in holding onto some evidence or information until the story was finished? >> i'll be candid. i'm queasy about this. i certainly am. i'm not in their position. when i was doing my story, no one was presenting to me evidence that durst had committed murder. if they had done so i would have been in a spot. i would have had to wrestle with the ethics of the situation. that's clearly what these guys did. i hate to pass judgment on them but the timing is discomforting. >> thanks as always. coming up three men in burma have just been sentenced to three years in prison and

hard labor for something they posted on facebook. that's next.
