We want to bring in clint van. Good morning to you. Take us inside a suearch like this. A guy wants attention and has nothing to lose. The turned off his cell phone. He has tear car. How do you find someone like this . One of the things you said is the key. Temporary tags. Those could be torn off. So police are going to be looking for stolen license tags, stolen vehicles. Today there were so many technological ways, any way from faci tracing credit cards to automobiles to cell phones, and this technology is being brought to bear at strong as they can with the fbi, a the tf, marshal service, local police. There are hundreds of officers looking for this man and rightfully so. He did a coldblooded killing. Hes capable of doing this again. Me presents a threat to any Police Officers that might stop him. Youre. Youre a former profiler. Lets talk about his personality. He walks up to a total stranger and way, even telling that person what hes about to do. So he is narcissistic. Hes sadistic. How does that change the hunt for him . Part of it is he didnt just snap. We hear people saying you just snapped. It doesnt work like that. Theres been a buildup with him. We know that he has a history, even as a child, were told, that he tortured animals. Were told that hes been evicted from two different apartments, that he has significant gambling losses, that his girlfriend broke up with him. All of these add a little bit of weight to this. He could have chosen to act out any other way, but as far as Law Enforcement is concerned, they saw the video. They know the guy is a danger. What they have to do right now is put this iron circle, unfortunately, around a three or four state area and start drawing that in. One more time just like every case like this you covers, its going to take the publics help.

Well talk to Elizabeth Warren about that. First Kristen Welker is at the white house. Reporter today President Trump heads to wisconsin where he finds an executive order in cracking down on abuses in guest worker programs. The president is taking heat for calling the controversial leader of turkey overnight and for his refusing to release his taxes now under a new microscope since tax day this morning critics blasting President Trump for calling the president of turkey after a vote greatly expanded his powers. The move taking a different tone than the state department which urged turkey in the fight against isis to respect the rights of his citizens. Meanwhile the president also under fire once again for refusing to release his taxes. The white house suggesting he may never. You always talk about under audit, the president is under audit. Is it times to say once and for all the president is never going to release his tax returns . Well, i have to get back to you on that. I think that hes still under audit. The statement still stands. Reporter but the president s decision facing backlash with protests across the country over the weekend and monday some of President Trumps people forced to defend him, including tim cotton. Now he says the election has has happened and he doesnt need to as far as i know, the president says hes still under audit. Reporter just one of the controversial decisions that has republicans worried there could be a ripple effect. Today all eyes are on the special election in georgia. In a crowded field of 18 candidates, 30yearold Democrat John is leading the pack. The documentary film maker and former congressional aide potentially the best chance to win a seat long held by republicans. The eyes of the nation are on us. Reporter President Trump recording this robo call. Liberal democrats from outside of georgia are spending millions and millions of dollars trying to take your republican congressional seat away from you. Dont let them do it. Reporter hes raked in money much of it from out of state donations. E ausoff. Whats at stake here . This is an opportunity for this community to take a statement about what we believe in. Reporter and republicans are feeling the heat. The gop candidate telling us. They pinned their hopes and dreams on one candidate. Is that how it feels here . I think so. Theyre going to be disappointed, i think. Reporter republicans have dominated in the district for decades. In fact, candidate trump won against Hillary Clinton there. Underscoring the urgency, President Trump tweeted about this race moments ago. He said Democrat John ossoff would be weak on crime and illegal immigration, bad for jobs and wants higher taxes. Say no. In order to win outright, ossoff needs 50 of the vote. All right. Kristen welker, thank you. Elizabeth she has positioned herself as a leading voice of the trump opposition. Shes written a new book called the this fight is our fight. Why dont we start with the race in georgia. The seat has long been held by republicans. If john ossoff can manage to win there, do you see it as democrats having a path back from a very battered state . I think that the real energy right now is on the democratic side. And the independent side. Its people who say i want to make my voice heard. I wrote this book about the long arc, about how america once invested in the middle class, built and strengthened a middle class, and then how trickle down economics came along and took the legs out. The bookends on the note of how we get engaged. I think thats whats going on in georgia. People are getting democracy is no longer something that happens once every four years or even once every two years if you pay close attention. Democracy is whats happening out there all the time now. Lets talk about tax day. The president not releasing his tax returns. His logic is straightforward. This was an issue in the campaign. I won the campaign. Issue over. The issue is not over. He promised during the campaign that he would reveal his taxes. In fact, how many clips have you got here . He would reveal them after this, after that, then put it off. Do you think he ever will . I dont know. I think people are going to keep demanding and keep demanding it and making their voices heard on this. Look, why is it the case that people at the very top should get a bunch of tax breaks, should be able to hide their business dealings when everybody else pays . Everybody else gets out there and makes our roads and bridges work, makes our lets see what donald trump is up to. This book is all about taking the fight to donald trump, but in recent days hes done a 180 on a host of issues. I could name them. On putin, on chinas currency policy, the exim bank. Do you look at it as a sign of improvement . Are you willing to give him credit for that . Let me frame this slightly differently. The real question here is who does government work for . Does government once worked for hardworking families. It once worked for the middle class. Whats happened since about the 1980s forward is the hand full of billionaires and bankers and folks, ceos of giant corporations, seized our government and have made it inch by inch work better and better for those at the top and less and less for everyone else. Throughout your career. Youve been reaching out to the little guy, the middle class, the person who doesnt seem to catch a break. And donald trump beat you at your own game in the last election. Donald trump figured out people are angry. And theyre right to be angry. Theyre angry because their kids cant get an education without getting crushed by student loan debt. Theyre angry because their kids dont graduate into good jobs in this economy. Theyre angry because people cant retire with dignity. The difference is that what donald trump did is said its their fault, its somebody else. He has hacked other groups, and what hes now done is put a bunch of billionaires and bankers in charge who are making every part of that worse. In the past youve said all of this about donald trump, and theres more. You described him as dangerous, dishonest, said he embraced bigotry hook line and sinker. Find common ground, count me in. Im ready to put it aside if hell pass things that are helpful. 89 days in, which Elizabeth Warren is sitting in front of me, the one who thinks all those other things about donald trump or the one who wants to work with him . The its both. This is about the people of america. Ly fight for them. Donald trump said during the campaign that he was willing to break up the big banks. Separate Investment Banking from ordinary Checking Account savings account banking. Make the system safer. He said he was. I already have a bill on that. A bill with maria cantwell, john mccain and another. I say come on, donald trump, you want to do this, lets do the bill. Your economic adviser said the its a good idea. Im there to do it. Because donald trump, in many ways, is not the core issue. The core issue is how we get this government to work for the american people. Getting people in that fight and making our voices heard. And senator, a lot of people are saying what this book is about is launching the president ial campaign of Elizabeth Warren. Now, its tradition to be coy about that in washington. But where is your mind about that . Are you 50 50 . Where do you stand . Are you likely to run . No. This is not what im doing. This is my 11th book. My lifes work is about whats happening to working families across this country. Okay, but did you say no, not likely to run . I am running in 2018 for senator from massachusetts. I am deeply blessed that the deep of the commonwealth sent me to washington to fight for them, and thats what ill keep on doing. A lot of people are printing up bumper stickers for 2020 youre not biting. I get it. Let the transcript reflect silence. Good to be here. We move now to growing tensions over north korea. Mike pence arrived in japan today to begin talks with the japanese Prime Minister shinzo a abe. Pence said the u. S.

And we will stand strongly with japan and strongly with our allies for peace and security of this region.

Supreme court rejected the state of arkansass request to execute a death row inmate scheduled to die before midnight.
