Louis, in for Ayman Mohyeldin and Louis Burgdorf in studio. A nationwide search continues for a man who posted the crime on facebook. 37yearold Steve Stephens has so far eluded state and federal authorities. He walked up to 74yearold Robert Godwin sunday and killed him. The mother of two much godwins children say he was out collecting cans when he was can killed. Can collecting was a hobby he picked up after retiring. So, thats what he was doing. He grabbed a bag from my moms house and he was going to get. I said, okay, well, i i see you when you get he back. He didnt come back. Nbc news correspondent ron allen has been following the story for us from cleveland. Whats the latest in the search for Steve Stephens . Reporter police told us they would contact us if they had something significant to report and we havent heard from them. They dont know where this individual is and its been well over 24 hours hes been on the run. There have been no sightings of a car he may have tried to ditch. They still think hes in that same light colored ford fusion. They say he could be near cleveland or far away. There was a possible sighting called into police in philadelphia but that turned out to be nothing. There was a possible sighting or pinging of his phone in erie, pennsylvania, and that turned out to be nothing. Authorities are relying heavily on the community. Theyre hoping someone will come forward, a relative, a coworker, someone who knows him because he does have significant ties to the community. But so far they have not gotten any clues they say would lead directly to him. They have upped the reward to 50,000. Theyre focusing narrowly on everything they can every stone they can overturn. At this point there seems to be no rationale as to where he went. He vanished and still considered to be armed and extremely dangerous. Ron allen, thank you. Day 89 of the Trump Administration and new poll numbers show a drop in confidence in the president. While the gallup poll finds his Approval Rating 40 during this poll, it was practically the same from february, key characteristics showed him siccing. 45 of americans think trump kooeps keeps his promises, down 17 points in two months. 5 say hes a strong and decisive leader, a drop of seven there. 46 say he can bring about the changes the country needs. Thats down seven points. Just 36 say hes honest and trustworthy. Thats down six points. 42 say he cares aut people like you, down four. 41 believe he can manage the government effectively. At the same time, a Pew Research Poll finds the president s job Approval Rating marginally the same since february, around 39 . Trump is well below the predecessors. Since Ronald Reagan in 1981, only bill clinton had an approval below majority at 49 . Joining us from capitol hill, National Political reporter for axius, jonathan swann. Good morning to you. The president s numbers, thats what they are. How does he think hes doing . Well, he thinks hes going terrifically well. But we shouldnt confuse the fact he no longer talks about polls so much with him not being focused on them. My reporting from talking to people inside the white house is that hes very focused on polls and it was interesting to see yesterday, he went back to an old favorite. During the campaign when things were really dark, when things were going badly for donald trump, staff become adept at printing out rasmussen polls. They are traditionally tilted quite strongly towards republicans and they always looked good for trump. So staff would become accustomed to putting them on his desk. Sure enough yesterday, Donald Trump Tweets out a rasmussen poll that had his approval rate agent 50 . I think its striking hes celebrating a 50 Approval Rating. Also when you look at Jonathan Richard is how this will translate to georgia. Big test on national to local numbers. Yeah. Look, regardless of what the reality is in georgia, if the democrat wins particularly with more than 50 and avoids a rinne runoff, this is going to be a really bad outcome for the administration because that will be the media narrative. It will weaken him with congress. Trump needs his reality to wield with his knife over rekals trant house numbers to get his aagain da through, particularly health care. If georgia is a huge defeat, trump will be seen as a Weak National leader and he wont be able to apply the same pressure. Thats something well be watching today. Jonathan swan, thank you so much. Thank you. The conditions for conflict in north korea continue to fester. On monday the dictatorship deputy ambassador to the United Nations point to recent u. S. Missile strike in syria. He also point to a u. S. Aircraft group near korea as evidence the United States is creating the conditions for nuclear war. The United States is disturbing the global peace and stability and insisting on the gangsterlike logic. It has been created dangerous situation in which Nuclear War May break out in any moment on the peninsula. If the United States dare opt for military actions, crying out for preemptive attack, the dpr can k is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the american. Russian state media echoed those remarks from the ambassador. The prominent mouthpiece for the putin government saying, President Trump is, quote, warimpulsive and imprulss ive more than kim jongun. The u. S. State Department Said it believes china is sending a lot of positive signals about applying economic pressure against north korea but the u. S. Assistant secretary of state remains wary. She said if the chinese decide theyre not going to work with us or not cooperate with us, then were going to have to change tack and try something maybe on our own. At the white house annual easter egg roll, President Trump had a message. I hopthes going to be peace but theyve been talking about this gentleman for a long ti up. Read clintons book and he says we made such a great peace deal. It was a joke. Everything with president obama, hes been outplayed. A ent want to telegraph what im thinking or doing. Im not like other administrations say were going to do this in four weeks. It doesnt work that way. Well, it seems the u. S. Has split with the rest of the western world in terms of the referendum that gave turkeys president sweeping new powers. President trump called president erdogan yesterday to congratulate him on the victory but International Observers say it was neither fair or free. They claim, quote, lack of equal opportunities, onesided media conch and limitations on fundamental freedoms created an unlevel playing group. The wash dog cites erdogans crackdown after the coup attempt. Hundred have taken to turkey, but erdogan remains defiant saying we neither see, hear or acknowledge the political reports youll air. We continue on our political path. Talk to the hand. This country has carried out the most democratic elections not seen anywhere in the west. Turkey applied for eu membership 1987 and some european leaders are calling an official end to talks that have essentially been stalled since 2007. So, today is the day, april 18th, just a few hours left to file taxes. For President Trump, it looks like hell again buck president ial precedent and not release his 2016 return. Yesterday press Secretary Sean Spicer attempted to explain why the president continues to waiver on his commitment to transparency. The president is under audit. Its routine, it continues. I think the American Public know clearly where he stands. This is something he made clear during the election cycle. Excuse me. Hold on. So and the one time it was done, i think the people understand how successfulhe president has been and how much hes paid in taxes. Were under the same audit that existed. So nothing has changed. President trump will be under audit for this years returns, yes, under an obscure irs rule. Tax returns of both the Vice President and president are automatically audited every year. Theres no exception to that. But the process for those audits is usually fast tracked. Last year despite the audit rule, president obama and Vice President biden released their 2016 returns. Spicer was pressed on whether hell release his return. You always talk about the president is under audit. Is it time once and for all to say the president will never release hease returns. Well have to get become to on you that. I mean, really. Really. So, he may . No, i said ill have to get back to you. Hes still under audit. The statement still stands. Just this weekend President Trump weighed in on the continued insistence by many that he release his tax returns, suggesting that it is a fake issue. On sunday he tweeted, i did what was an almost impossible thing to do for a republican, easily won the electoral college. Now tax returns are brought up again . But for some republican lawmakers theyre getting an earful from constituents in their home districts over the president s continued refusal to release those returns, including senator tom cotton in arkansas yesterday. My question is you in congress and the senate have the power to subpoena these tax returns. The president the president said during the campaign that he would not release the tax returns while he was under audit. Now he says the election has happened and he doesnt need to release his tax returns. Im wondering if youll take the initiative to have him release those returns so we can see what kind of connections he has with Different Countries around the world and what [ applause ] and what tax proposals would personally benefit him . [ applause ] as far as im aware, the president still says hes under audit. [ crowd booing ] President Trump seeking to hold true to his America First campaign promise. Today he will sign a twofold executive order that will clamp down on guest worker visas. It will also require agencies to buy more goods and services from u. S. Companies and workers. The president will sign the aptly name buy american, hire american to the snapon Manufacturing Company in wisconsin. That Company Makes commonly used tools and mechanics for contractors. The industry that has been hit the hardest by the hire american portion of the eo, u. S. Tech companies. They often utilize h1b visas. Presidt sriticized it from taken jobs.
