10:00 am
to be litigated in that lawsuit against the university and against dr. fenton. joey jackson, it's troubling, thank you. appreciate the insight. thank you for watching. my colleague wolf blitzer takes it from here. >> hello, i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 in washington 6:00 p.m. in london 7:00 p.m. in rome 8:00 p.m. in moscow. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. 12 days on the run, 16 square miles, more than 10,000 acres searched 1400 leads followed up but still two escaped murderers here in the united states have managed to elude authorities. at a news conference just a little while ago, police announced they are expanding their search for these two convicted killers. >> today the search for escaped inmates richard matt and david sweat will expand and shift to
10:01 am
other areas surrounding dannemora. personnel are being redeployed to other areas based on information gathered during the investigation. people in the region should expect to see law enfoorsment in their community as the search expands. >> meanwhile, new york state police have now released artist renditions. this is what richard matt and david sweat may look like after 12 days on the run. take a close look. cnn's polo sandoval is on the scene in plattsburgh new york that's upstate new york. polo, do police think these two killers have left the area where you are? >> wolf, that's a key question here. a few moments ago we heard from investigators who said at this point there is no evidence that indicates that i did leave the region. we're talking possibly a carjack, a burglary maybe surveillance video. investigators have not seen any evidence like that that suggests that they're still here. so as a result much of the focus of this investigation shifts to the areas around the small town
10:02 am
of dannemora, which is where that correctional facility is. we also know that investigators are now pretty much renewing their plea to the public here. at this point so much hope hangs on the eyes and ears investigators have that are the people in these tiny towns. you mentioned the images put out by authorities here these images seem to show what these two individuals, david sweat and richard matt may look like after ten days or on the run. artists here have added parable hair to make it look like again, what they may look like. so investigators want people to take a good hard look at these two images. at this point, police feel very strongly about this help from the public they've already received. at least 1300 leads. they want people to keep calling because eventually if they're able to track these individuals down, which they're confident they will it will happen with the public's help but, again, as that search intensifies and really focuses on this area in
10:03 am
upstate new york it doesn't mean investigators aren't looking into neighboring vermont, north of the border in canada or as we've discussed before wolf even south of the border in mexico. >> they could be almost anywhere by now given the time that has elapsed. what do authorities say, polo about this one suspect, this woman who worked in the prison joyce mitchell, who's now been arrested? >> she remains behind bars right now, that's what officials are saying she has -- because of the attention on this case she really did become to a certain extent a distraction here so she was relocated to another prison near albany. she will be transferred back and forth to clinton county as her court appearances progress. we're learning more information about her husband. we know authorities are still in touch with him, no arrests have been made no charges have been filed but investigators seem to believe according to information from sources that if she did have any knowledge of this -- if he did have any knowledge of this, that's because he could have been warned by his wife
10:04 am
joyce that these two very dangerous individuals could to potentially go after him. again, this is information that's being confirmed by investigators that there was this active plot to potentially go after lyle mitchell. the main question at this hour though wolf why that was. >> polo sandoval on the scene, we'll stay in close touch. thank you. the district attorney also spoke more about the scope of this huge investigation and why they haven't moved on from the immediate area around the prison. listen to this. >> there is no hard evidence that they are outside the area. that being said i cannot rule that out. but we're going under the -- what i think is the logical belief that they can be anywhere. we won't rule this area out until we have identified a location that they're at and verified that. >> reporter: so no hunch as to where they are? >> i don't operate based on
10:05 am
hunches. we operate based on evidence. and that's what we're looking for. i can tell you this. there is no technique or law enforcement tool that is not being used by the state police or by our federal agencies. any avenue that needs to be pursued will be pursued. we're doing it in a joint -- in coordinated fashion and everyday. we're reviewing every piece of evidence that we possibly can. >> the district attorney updated us on what's going on. we're about to speak with the sheriff leading the investigation on the scene as well. we'll take a quick break and speak with sheriff favro when we come back. ready to leave sticky sunscreens behind? new neutrogena cooldry sport. micromesh technology lets sweat pass through and evaporate so skin stays comfortable, while clinically proven protection stays on. new cooldry sport. neutrogena.
10:09 am
let's continue the breaking news right now. the massive manhunt under way in the northeastern part of the united states for two killers on the run. joining us to talk about this search is clinton county sheriff david favro. sheriff, thanks very much for joining us. i know your teams have covered at least 10,000 acres in the area where you are right now. what do you think? did these two escaped inmates, do you think they are still in the vicinity where this prison is or do you think they have moved on elsewhere? >> well everybody's going to have their own opinion on, that wolf but i think it's important to realize that until we can come up with some concrete information, some physical evidence some dna to be able to substantiate they're elsewhere or their whereabouts period we need to continue to go from the hot spot where the escape first started and work our way out from there making sure the community is safe and making sure that we leave no stone
10:10 am
unturned to find them. >> i know you found food wrappers matted grass. do you believe that was part of these two killers? do you think that was related? >> we're certainly hoping that it was. we had a little relief we thought we were going to get something. it's still being analyzed but where there was no immediate proof that came from those wrappers or if tra bedding or chicago that would give us concrete reason to believe that they're here or elsewhere but we're hoping for that lucky break. >> i know it's possible they could still be on foot. it's also possible they're in some sort of vehicle. what's your suspicion right now? i take it there have been no reports of stolen vehicles or hijacked vehicles or anything along that nature right? >> there haven't. we haven't had any reports of any criminal activity that would link us to a trail for them. that makes it difficult. they're evidently being cautious and patient which just means law
10:11 am
enforcement and the community has to be patient as well. there's state police resources, there's sheriff's department resources throughout the state and country that are being vigilant and that are also imploring upon their public to keep their eyes open to help us out. most of these cases are broken with good leads from the public that saw something that we can't see from where we are. >> is it based on the questioning that you've done to joyce mitchell, the woman who worked in these prison and knew these two men, she's now been arrested is it your conclusion these two guys may have had other outside assistance that could have helped them escape? >> i can't answer that directly because you're asking for a conclusion and there's still interviews being done and a lot of work behind the scenes that i'm not hands-on privy to so i couldn't tell you what the conclusion would be. there's a lot of theories and
10:12 am
opinions and we've heard the response on what opinions could be. unfortunately, after things are over people will be able to monday morning quarterback these situations but when it's going on with the intensity, organization on-ground efforts, there's an immeasurable amount of work going on here from law inforce. other people including the community, bringing food and shelter to the members working on the street it's a huge effort. >> just one quick question sheriff, i know you have to run. and if you can answer this question. has she suggested other people knew about this at least in the conversations she's had with law enforcement authorities in recent days? >> she has not had any conversations to me or that i'm aware of indicating that so i couldn't tell you if she'd spoken with someone else indicating that. i'm not aware of anything of that nature. >> sheriff good luck to you. sheriff david favro, clinton county in upstate new york. if any viewer has any reason to
10:13 am
believe that there's some evidence out there, there's been a sight, what should that viewer do? >> they need to call their local law enforcement agency they can call 911 or the kip line but it's important they report these tips as quickly as they possibly can and let law enforcement do the investigation and make the determination if it's real or not real. >> and they shouldn't get close to these two guys because they're both convicted killers. >> absolutely not. these two men are definitely considered dangerous because of the heinous crimes they committed and even plotting this escape to get away from their sentence to society tells you what type of people we're dealing with. >> good luck sheriff favro, thanks very much. >> thank you for your help to you and all the viewers, wolf. up next, we're going live to capitol hill here in washington. military leaders have just wrapped up testimony on the obama administration's anti-isis
10:14 am
strategy. i'll speak with -- speak about that with a -- an iraq war veteran. we'll talk about the president's plans, a member of congress stand by. plus donald trump's next stop new hampshire. after all the zingers he dropped yesterday, what will the new presidential candidate say and do next? we're live with a preview. all that and more coming up.
10:17 am
10:18 am
and syria. here are some of the highlights. >> we simply haven't received enough recruits. of the 24,000 iraqi security forces reoriginally envisioned training at our four sites by this fall we've only received enough recruits to receive about 7, zblourks 7,000. >> are we in a quagmire? are we winning? what's going on. >> i get it. the personal pro noun "we," this has to be them. if you're asking the united states, is it winning, that's not the question. >> that's the question i'm winning. we've got soldiers there, we're flying strikes there, are we, the united states free world, western allies are we winning or losing? >> we are on path to deliver that which we've committed to delivering which is security forces not just the isf but also the peshmerga and now the sunni tribes. we are on path to deliver to them the capability to confront isil inside of their sovereign
10:19 am
territory. >> how have the isf performed? the honest truth is it's mixed. some units like their counterterrorism forces have fought admirably and relentlessly almost to the point of exhaustion over the past months. overs have dissolved and collapsed. >> i would not recommend that we put u.s. forces in harm's way simply to stiffen the spine of local forces. if their spine is not stiffened by isil and their way of life nothing we do will stiffen their spine. >> secretary carter also emphasized that u.s. troops are on the ground already as part of the training mission as he described in the iraq. let's go to capitol hill. joining us arizona republican congresswoman martha mcsally, a member of the house arms services committee. the congresswoman was there at today's hearing on isis. she's a former u.s. air force colonel fighter pilot who commanded missions over iraq.
10:20 am
did you get satisfactory answers today, congresswoman? >> no wolf i do not. it really just confirmed deep concerns that i and many of my colleagues have across the aisle, the lack of a coherent strategy not just for iraq using all elements of our national power but really for the larger middle east. we're negotiating with iran, the elephant in the room about their nuclear capability yet they're increasing their influence in the iraqi government and we're hoping that we can make the iraqi government be more inclusive and as secretary carter said hope is not a strategy. in addition insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. so i am more concerned about the larger incoherence in the regional strategy and also specifically in iraq the military strategy still has tremendous shortfalls. i raised questions related to them and the political strategy seems to be do more of the same
10:21 am
with a little bit more hope so this i think just highlighted the concerns, the legitimate concerns, that we have. >> what's your level of confidence in the iraqi government? the partner of the united states in this effort? >> it's not very high. they're shown themselves to be very shi'a focused, the sectarian divides are very real. the iranian influence is very strong. and i'm deeply concerned that they're not going to be able to move forward on the political front. we have vital national interests in destroying and defeating isis that are overlapping but not lined up directly with maybe iraq's interest we have our own national interests in the leader of the free world and the west that we destroy and defeat isis. we are not use thing all of our elements of national power and
10:22 am
military power to destroy and defeat them and isis has the momentum right now which adds to the psychology for the foreign fighter recruitment that they're taking on america and winning. so we need to take a step back. we need to look at using our military in a more robust way, using air power for the way it was designed to be used for our military objectives, not just in support of a counterinsurgency operation and hoping that the locals step up because we have vital national interests at stake. >> so do you want a lot more u.s. troops -- about 3500 are about to be there in the next few weeks. do you want a lot more 10,000, 20,000? what do you want? what would you recommend to the president? >> what i would recommend is that we do a comprehensive military strategy to defeat and destroy isis using our military capabilities specifically our air power in a way that we could actually hit their leadership hit their command and control, take out their logistics
10:23 am
capability and not be stuck with if we have one civilian casualty then we're not going to drop a bomb while we allow isis to continue to murder civilians because we're not achieving our military objective. so we need to use our air power in a more robust way. we need to bring our search-and-rescue forces closer into iraq. we should consider embedded joint terminal attack controllers so we can identified more targets. there's usually two things related to targeting, one is positive identification, what i was calling pid in the hearing and the other is collateral damage estimation, which is cde. so if we embedded special forces jtacs and others we could increase the number of targets we could hit to destroy isis and their capability and provide the space for a political solution. if we also changed our no civilian casualties mind-set we could be having our aircraft hit the targets that are going to put them on their heels instead of the other way around while we
10:24 am
continue to work a political solution. so this is about a boots on the ground argument it's about yearsing our military power, getting outof the counterinsurgency argument that we've been stuck in for 14 years because we have vital national interests at stake. >> congresswoman, thanks very much for joining us. >> absolutely. thanks wolf. >> >> martha mcsally, a member of the house arms services committee. in syria kurdish fighters have scored an important victory over isis forces. that i say they've taken full control of a border town there, a key stop on the supply route to raqqa. the battle over the up to forced thousands of citizens to flee across the border into turkey. still ahead, we'll get to american politics trump on the trail. the billionaire businessman, the newest candidate for president of the united states speaks bluntly and moves towards new hampshire. but will voters there and else where take him seriously? we'll go there live for a preview.

quote today,call liberty mutual insurance at see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. time to talk politics. politics here in the united states. right now, the democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton is making a swing through the early voting state of south carolina. she's got her eye on a key voting block there, millennials. the issue of youth unemployment. she's set to roll out a new proposal for a federal apprenticeship program during a speech later today.
10:29 am
it would give businesses a $1500 tax credit for every apprentice that business were to hire. on the republican side, the newly declared presidential candidate jeb bush is visiting a state where he's trailed in the polls, at least so far. we're talking about iowa. bush started his day by appearing at a backyard meet-and-greet. he'll follow up with a town hall in pella, iowa, later today. last month a quinnipiac university poll found only 5% of iowa gop caucus goers said they plan to vote for bush. that will put him seventh in the field of declared or potential 2016 candidates in iowa. even with bush and clinton on the trail today, the biggest buzz seems to be around donnell trump, the billionaire businessman turned reality show star is heading to new hampshire after a brash no-filter announcement speech that was anything but politically correct. listen to this. >> i will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created
10:30 am
i would repeal and replace the big lie, obamacare. nobody would be tougher on isis than donald trump. i will stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. i will build a great, great wall on our southern border and i will have mexico pay for that wall mark my words. >> let's bring in our senior washington correspondent joe johns. he's joining us live in manchester new hampshire, where donald trump will deliver another speech later this afternoon. joe, what kind of voter is trump hoping to attract in a state that takes its first in the nation primary very seriously? >> that's for sure. the campaign thinks that they'll be able to attract conservatives who were angry. they think they'll be able to attract people who are blue-collar and who are very worried about the american trade policies wolf. they do think they have a
10:31 am
chance at least, at attracting those voters in this country who simply don't care that much about politics don't understand it but think there needs to be change. whether that's going to happen is anybody's guess but we'll see donald trump here tonight in new hampshire, wolf. >> he made a point yesterday, as you know of playing up his wealth. listen to this joe. >> we have politicians controlled by all the wrong people -- including special interests. and i'm running for president as a businessman that doesn't need money, i don't need campaign contributions, i don't need money to fly in i fly in very nicely. [ laughter ] you'd all be impressed, actually. [ laughter ] even i'm impressed. i would have never thought this was going to happen. >> so in this age of super pacs
10:32 am
billionaires out there is he planning on self-financing his entire campaign? modest? maybe not so modest? >> well he did make a plane statement at new york city at trump tower that he does not plan to use donors. that seems like a statement that yes, he's going to self-finance is whatever campaign he has here. he also pointed out just how much money he says he has, $8.7 billion of net worth. now, "forbes" magazine of course has already questioned that. they say his net worth is closer to $4.1 billion. either way, he's a billionaire and would be able to self-finance for quite a while no matter what the case is wolf. >> even $4.1 billion. that's a nice piece of change you have to admit. there's a lot of buzz that maybe he's not 100% committed to running for president as a republican that maybe he could witch and run as a third party
10:33 am
independent candidate along the lines of ross proerot 20 years ago. what are you hearing? >> well as you know all the way back in 2000 he was on the ballot in some states for the reform party, eventually got out of that. he flirted with it again around 2011 talked about running as a third-party candidate. right now the campaign says, of course, he is running as a republican but we all know this is one volatile billionaire and he does whatever he wants to do. our advice on donald trump and covering him has always been never say never, wolf. >> we all remember ross perot. he wound up doing well. he stumbled in the end but at one point he looked very very impressive. we'll see what happens this time around. joe, thank you. programming note for our viewers, donald trump will be jake tapper's guest later this week sunday on state of the union 9:00 a.m. eastern. new poll numbers show the
10:34 am
florida senator marco rubio running best among republicans in a hypothetical matchup against hillary clinton. the quinnipiac university pole looks at three crucial states. ohio florida and his home state. he has 42% to clinton's 45% in ohio 44% to clinton's 43% in pennsylvania. let's bring in dana bash and nia malika henderson. what do you make of the numbers? >> when you're looking at florida, it's bad news for jeb bush. it's marco rubio, his protege, who comes the closest to hillary clinton, to be fair it's only a two-point difference and it's within the margin of error in this poll. but bush does score off the charts on the issue that he's been pushing since monday his leadership ability. 62% which is much higher than anybody else. the bad news for him and
10:35 am
something that surprises me i don't know about you nia, all the voters say the number one characteristic they care most about is honesty and trustworthiness. more than leadership more than they care about issues that i care about. and on that hillary clinton is doing poorly. >> we have numbers of that nia. in florida 51% say hillary clinton is not honest and trustworthy. in ohio another key battleground state 53% and in pennsylvania 54% don't view her as honest and trustworthy. you look at those numbers and you have to worry if you're a supporter of hillary clinton. >> red flags there. the irony here is even if you look at that florida poll she's got high numbers for folks thinking that she's not trustworthy but she's still in the lead. so there's an irony there. i talked to folks in the clinton campaign. they say one of the reasons you see the numbers the way they are is that the campaign hasn't started in earnest yet. they'd be much more worried if it was 2016 the summer of 2016 rather than the summer of 2015.
10:36 am
if you look at those numbers you also see people on that question saying they don't know yet in terms of trustworthiness. so once this campaign gets going and there's real sort of research going on against rubio, against bush against some of these other folks then you'll see evening. >> the problem for her is that unlike these other candidates is she's a known quantity. they know her and don't trust her. of course it is june of 2015 not june of 2016. we can't rule that out. but it does show i think why in places like new hampshire, let's talk about the democratic side bernie sanders who has been your guest many times, is doing quite well considering the fact that he came out of nowhere and he was not a big national figure the last poll showed him doing 31% which is pretty remarkable. >> he's doing very very well. he's from vermont, the neighboring state. a lot of people think he's got a
10:37 am
base there, at least, and he's resonating there and i think he's resonated with huge crowds in iowa as well. i think hillary clinton, they have to worry about that bernie sanders effect. jeb bush you just travelled with him in europe. he was on jimmy fallon last night on the "tonight show." i want to show how he was involved in slow jamming the news a little bit. >> we face an important election in 2016 whoever we choose will be tasked with changing the course of our country and whipping america into shape. >> you hear that america? jeb bush said he wants to whip you "fifty shades of gray" style. >> jimmy, i think i speak for all americans when i say "eww." >> jimmy just got bush whacked! >> i feel like saying "oh, yeah." >> this is good. obama has done this before. i think we've seen this long
10:38 am
tradition of folks trying to engage with pop culture. richard nixon going on "laugh in" and saying "sock it to me." i think he played the piano on jack parr's show. but we've seen from bush this idea he's a little stiff so this helps him out a bit. >> there were some cringe-worthy moments but jimmy fallon made very clear that he wanted them to do that because he has a young audience. this is the kind of thing he does. he gets people to do things that are weigh outside their comfort zone. but wolf you've had not some slow jamming experiences but you've got some -- you want to do a bit? >> you've got some moves so i hear. >> he slow jams the news. >> i've been on the bet soul train awards. can you teach me how to dougie? >> i can't dougie. >> i'll teach you how to dougie. >> you teach me. >> i want to slow jam the news with jimmy fallon. guys thanks very much. i'll speak with another republican presidential candidate later today in the situation room. senator slind graham will be my

10:43 am
from the first days of his papacy, the pope has preached about the importance of the environment. in one speech he issued this warning -- "safeguard creation because if we destroy creation creation will destroy us." now pope francis is expected to call for action to halt climate change when he sets out the catholic church's position on global warming. his views will be revealed in an encyclical or public letter to be released on thursday. he gave a preview at his weekly audience earlier today. >> translator: our home is being ruined and damaged and it's affecting all of us especially the poor. so mine is an appeal to responsibility on the basis of the task that god has entrusted to men in creation to cultivate
10:44 am
to guard the what god has placed to man." >> as delia gallagher explains, the pope's statement hasn't been published yet but it's already attracting lots of criticism out there. listen to this. >> it's called "praised be on the care of our common home" pope francis's encyclical on the moral aspects of climate change and protecting the environment. church leaders say this is the first time the release of a papal encyclical has been so anticipated. a brazilian climate change group even created an epic theatrical trailer for the pope's words. >> if we destroy creation creation will destroy us. it's time to take out the trash. >> a pontiff fighting for god's
10:45 am
creation. >> reporter: but what is an encyclical? it's the most authoritative teaching document a pope can issue and signify asahi priority issue for the pope. it's usually written for catholic clergy and lay people although pope francis has said his encyclical is addressed to everyone religious or not. encyclicals aren't infallible but they're not just the pope's opinion, either. and catholics are called to take them seriously. pope francis is not the first pope to express concern about the environment. pope paul vi back in 1971 talked about the exploitation and degradation of nature by man. john paul ii and pope benedict have also added their voices to the topic. but francis is the first pope ever to dedicate an entire encyclical to ecological concerns. >> i don't get economic policy from my bishops or my cardinals or from my pope.
10:46 am
