n have it all but maybe not all at the exact same time. that phrase is unrealistic to achieve. for more about having it all, op-ed just went live. join me tonight in philly. i'm going to be having a conversation about my new book at the find free library with fox personality mike jaric. check us out in philly continue. i'm gretchen carlson. here is jon scott in for shep. >> vladimir putin isn't going to like this the pentagon sending hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles to countries right next to russia. joyce mitchell is accused of helping two prisoners escape prison. now, for first time her husband is talking. what he said his wife admitted. new revelations about a massive hack attack and word that it may have hit tens of millions of americans. not just people applying for government jobs but also their friends and family members. it's all ahead in this hour of

"shepard smith reporting." i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. the united states is putting russia's president putin on notice says a top u.s. commander who compares russia's recent moves to nazi germany. the defense secretary ash carter says the u.s. will send hundreds of tanks and other equipment to several of our nato allies including former soviet states in eastern europe. it's a show of military might meant to match russia's war games. the defense secretary says the u.s. will also help equip nato's so-called rapid response force. that's a team to defend our allies from any russian threat. this comes after economic punishments failed to force russian troops out of eastern ukraine, or as president putin once called it the new russia. putin's already taken over the crimeian peninsula. he denies sending russian troops into ukraine but he also says he wants to protect russian speakers in ukraine.

sound familiar from your history class? that's the same reason the nazis gave when they moved into czechoslovakia and took over the german-speaking regions there. the eerie similarities are not lost on our military leaders. the lieutenant general who oversees america's nuclear stockpile points out the last time we saw a nation make moves like putin's, it eventually led to an all-out world war. jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. jennifer how seriously is the pentagon taking the putin threat? >> well john lieutenant general steven wilson, america's top u.s. nuclear commander, says he has never seen so much power concentrated in one man's hands in russia. quote, some of the actions by russia recently we haven't seen since the 1930s when whole countries were annexed and borders were changed by decree. defense secretary ash carter visited the "uss san antonio" in estonia today to calm the nerves of the baltic members. he announced the u.s. will send

a brigade's party of artillery and fighting vehicles to eastern europe. >> you lost your independence once before. with nato you will never lose it again. that's because the united states and the rest of the nato alliance are absolutely committed to defending the territorial integrity of estonia, latvia and lithuania. >> his visit comes days after russian fighter jets buzzed the "uss san antonio" during nato-led military exercises in the baltic sea as putin announced plans to add 40 intercontinental ballistic missile to his arsenal john. >> what's the pentagon doing to protect the u.s. against the russian missile threat? >> well the pentagon is increasingly worried about russia's advanced cruise missiles which can evade traditional radar and are launched from the sea. >> in order to stop these things the reaction time is very short, and it's as much a problem of detecting them as it is launching some kind of

interceptor to go get them. and so right now we don't just have all that much capability to even see these things coming let alone kill them. >> in fact the pentagon has requested urgent funding for a cruise missile defense shield to protect u.s. cities using national guardf-16 fighter jets to spot and shoot down these low-flying radar-evadeing missiles. something congress may not want to budget for at this point in time john. >> jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thanks jennifer. let's bring in the former u.s. ambassador to nato and former national security council staff member. he is now president of the chicago council on global affairs. ambassador this comparison to what happened before world war ii with germany's invasion of poland, how apt is that comparison with what the russians are doing now? >> well the aptness is in what the report said which is the idea that russia should have the

right to protect any russian-speaking people no matter where they are. that is the kind of language we heard in the 1930s. at the same time the kind of actions we've seen so far while deeply worrying and in some ways deeply threatening aren't at the par of what we saw in 1938 or '39 nor do we see the kind of militarization of the entire russian society like we saw with the nazi germany in the '30s. >> does that mean you think putin is bluffing? >> no i think he's trying to establish himself as the big guy on the block. he will push as far as he can. he will continue to try to destabilize ukraine and, if possible other states that used to be part of the soviet union like moldova and georgia, but i think the counter moves you're seeing from the united states and from nato give me confidence that he won't push all the way into nato territory. that really is a red line not

just for us but we're clearly communicating to him that it is a red line for him. >> so he is pushing, we're pushing back nato and the united states with that brigade's worth of heavy weaponry that jennifer griffin described. does that ratchet up the tensions or does it ensure that there will not be a hot war in that part of the world? >> well i think the message here is that the united states and the nato allies are prepared to do what is necessary to defend their allies the nato allies in eastern europe and vladimir putin better take notice of this. in that sense it attempts to ratchet the pressure down. what i'm more worried about is not the kind of deployment we're seeing by u.s. forces. what i'm worried about is this buzzing of ships and the wing tip to wing tip flying of russian aircraft with our aircraft. the military flying all over the place with their transponders off so civilian radar can't see them and i'm worried about the

possibility of an accident which then can escalate in ways that nobody wants but still will happen. >> because tensions are so high and because there is so much military equipment concentrated in that part of the world right now? >> yeah. you know for the first time really in 25 years you have seen the remilitarization of relations when the west and russia where the language we're talking about is all about -- it's about tanks, it's about troops about snap maneuvering, it's about flying airplanes all over the place, and it's about nuclear weapons. we haven't seen that kind of rhetoric for a long time and we're ratcheting up in that sense on both sides. i think in our case justifiably so in order to protect our allies but it is creating a situation where if the only language we're using is that of military force, the possibility exists that an accident occurs and things escalate. so it's a deeply worrying trend

in the relationship. >> does the hotline to the kremlin still exist? >> it does. so we're able to talk to the kremlin through the hotline but we don't really have a dialogue. we certainly don't have a dialogue on the military type which i would be in favor of. we had it in the cold war. military to military talks. we had a whole series of agreements to avoid accidental maneuvering. to stabilize the confrontation, not to end it or certainly not to give in but to find a way to deal with each other on the military level to avoid the possibility of a war that no one wants. >> evo daalder, thank you. >> my pleasure. a u.s. air strike has killed an islamic state fighter who was a leading suspect on the attack on the consulate in benghazi. officials say they killed the militant last week with an air strike on mosul. also last week the white house confirmed a u.s. bomb killed al qaeda's number two leader. the head of its affiliate in

yemen. pentagon officials also announced they likely killed a top militant commander with an air strike in libya but reps for al qaeda have denied he is dead. the islamic state's terror campaign has forced more than 3 million iraqis from their homes. that's according to the united nations. it reports most of the people who were displaced are from anbar province which has seen heavy fighting. iraqi forces and militia fighters say they fought off an isis attack there just yesterday. meantime across the border in syria, activists and officials say kurdish fighters and their allies have seized a syrian military base from isis. that base less than 30 miles from raqqa. taking down the confederate flag. hundreds of demonstrators gathering in south carolina to call for the flag's removal. and just within the last hour word that some major retailers are pulling the flag from shelves and online listings. are we looking at the end of an

era or is this fight just getting started? that's next. moderate to severe crohn's disease is tough but i've managed. except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about

humira. with humira, remission is possible.

yesterday south carolina's republican governor nikki haley said lawmakers should remove the flag in response to the charleston church massacre. a website shows the suspect posing for photos with it. the last time south carolina lawmakers took up the issue was 15 years ago. that ended in a compromise. they agreed to move the flag from the capitol dome to a memorial on capitol grounds. other states and some major american companies are showing their opposition to the confederate flag. john roberts is live in our southeast newsroom with that. >> good afternoon to you. it's not known at this point whether there's the super majority needed in the south carolina legislature to move the flag but certainly the pressure on lawmakers is mounting. you mentioned that rally. it went on for nearly two hours today in front of the state house. religious leaders, politicians ordinary folks all coming together to say while many people see the confederate flag as a symbol of their heritage and an integral part of south carolina history, many people

have turned it into a symbol of intolerance and outright evil that can no longer fly on the state house grounds. >> there are hate groups that have taken this battle flag as an emblem of their hatred. it is widely perceived by many because of taking that flag and making it as an emblem of their hatred to be a symbol of hatred, and i understand that it causes a lot of pain to many people in south carolina for that reason. >> the charleston post and currier newspaper has polling lawmakers to find out where they stand. so far it would seem the yeses far out weigh the nos. >> and the issue is spreading beyond south carolina's borders. >> it is. almost spreading like wildfire. in mississippi today the republican speaker of the house said that the confederate flag symbol on the mississippi flag is offensive and should be taken off of that flag. this issue came up some 14 years

ago, but mississippians voted 2 to 1 back then to leave it as it is. in virginia governor terry mcauliffe banished the confederate flag from specialty license plates. amazon, ebay, walmart, and sears said they will stop carrying confederate flag merchandise. the valley forge flag company is going to stop making the flag. in tennessee some lawmakers want to get rid of a bust of nathan bedford forest. in texas a congressman is jumping on board a call from students at the university of texas in austin to take down a number of confederate statues including one of jefferson davis, and when asked today by fox news what should happen to a statue of everysoonjefferson davis at the kentucky capitol, mitch mcconnell said maybe it's better off at a museum. this could be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all

this confederate heritage across the country. >> john roberts, thank you. cops say they bought the church shooting suspect a meal at burger king shortly after they arrested him in north carolina. that's according to "the charlotte observer." he said he was hungry. investigators say that was one day after he slaughtered those nine people at the emanuel ame church. the manhunt for the convicted murderers heats up as investigators confirm they found the inmates' dna inside a deserted cabin in the woods. plus the jailed prison worker's husband speaking out describing a moment his wife told him the killers wanted him dead. that's ahead on the fox news deck.

[alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. ...rick. it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh! should americans back away from the confederate flag? all kinds of emotion

the husband of the prison work he accused of helping two inmates escape says he's 100% certain they would have killed him and his wife. during an interview with nbc news lyle mitchell revealed the moment his wife confessed to helping the murderers, even telling her husband they wanted him dead. >> he started to threaten her inside the facilities was going to do something to me to harm me or kill me or somebody outside the jail if she didn't stay with this. she would have never went through with it. that's what she told me. she really loved me and she was in too deep. >> lyle mitchell said he hasn't decided whether he will testify against his wife joyce saying how could she do this? how could she do this to our kids? massive manhunt has been under way for more than two weeks after the criminals sawed their way out of a maximum security prison in upstate new york. "the new york post" reports joyce mitchell smuggled their tools into the jail by hizingding

them in chunks of frozen hamburger meat. traces of their dna was found in a remote cabin miles away from the cabin. the cabin belongs to a group of corrections officers and the funl tiff fugitives left behind boxer shorts boots, and bloody socks. rick leventhal is live in new york. rick what's going on now? >> reporter: we're just about three miles from owls head where there was a reported sighting of the fugitives last night. it proved to be unfounded but police are still here in big numbers. we just had a caravan of officers race by with their lights on but no sirens. officers continuing to investigate the woods, searching cabins and homes and structures and other areas out here and across franklin county hunting for those two fugitives from justice because after more than 2,000 leads and tips only one of them that we know of has proved legit. that was on saturday when a guy went to check on his cabin, saw a jar of peanut butter and a jug

of water and when he yelled out for whoever to come out to come out, someone bolted out the back door. that's where police reportedly found the items you mentioned along with toiletries and fingerprints and we have confirmed with law enforcement sources that there was a positive dna match at that cabin to the escaped killers david sweat and richard matt on the run for the 18th day. the franklin county sheriff who knows this area very well spoke a short time ago. >> it's hard to perceive them going into a thick wooded area. it just seems they would want to go where it was easier travel. it's easy to get lost in those areas and i think the biggest challenge right now is just the size of the area that we're trying to contain. >> reporter: they may not be traveling at all. they may have just found another place to hide but authorities remain confident at least publicly john that they will catch them. >> what about this report on how the escaped cons got those tools to bust out with? >> reporter: well according to "the new york post," the civilian prison worker joyce

mitchell smuggled some of the tools into these men in frozen chunks of hamburger meat. that may have included a hacksaw and a screwdriver. her husband says that she denied helping the men escape by giving them tools to him, but the d.a. says that she admitted to investigators that she provided the men with the contraband and she is of course behind bars charged with helping to facilitate the escape. one corrections officer has also been put on administrative leave for his possible role in the men's escape. the investigation continues and, again, the search out here continues as well. >> rick leventhal in chasm falls. thank you. let's bring in bill daley a former fbi investigator currently the managing director of control risks, that's a security consulting firm. you couldn't write a novel changer than this one. when lyle mitchell says that his wife was afraid that these guys were going to off her husband, i thought, well now you know she's lying because she has to

let them out to kill her husband, but i forgot he works in the prison too, and sometimes bad things happen in prisons. >> john and as you said the scripps to this may have been rejected by some hollywood directors if you pitched it to them. so many twists and turns. in this situation you just don't know what came first. we know she's had relations with both of these men -- >> she denied that to her husband. >> it's been reported though she has. so there was some connection with her now snuggling the tools into the prison with hamburger meat. maybe when she got cold feet and said no i really don't want that to happen they said if you don't cooperate we're going to do him in. so there's all kinds of twists and turns to this. it's a microcosm. when people work in these environments they work in very small, close areas. the connections between the two the subtleties of the two, in this case three of them are really outstanding. so i really at this point couldn't tell you which one. i would just suggest it's one or

the other that at some point they threatened to kill him either because it was going to help her and travel with them or it was going to help them get out of prison. >> or maybe she thought she was in love with them and this threat about the husband never happened and maybe she made it up after she got caught in all of this. it's just bizarre. >> it is john and it goes further into this the fact that now they've escaped and they're on the run and where do they go? to a cabin owned by some prison guards. we believe at this point it's been suggested it's the people who are in the same prison that they've escaped from. >> yeah. and apparently that's just accidental. you understand that the prison is probably the big employer there in that town. people have cabins. so it's just as likely they're going to stumble into a prison guard's cabin as maybe anybody else's. >> 18 or 20 miles away you just don't know did they hear people talking in the prison. they've been there a long time. do people talk about where they go hunting. you don't know what kinds of conversations took place that gave them the idea that this may

be a place to go to. >> what about the fact that lyle mitchell says he spent 95% of his free time with his wife. they both worked in the prison commuted there together drove home together. he said he had no idea that his wife was involved with this pair. >> and i thought that was stunning. when i saw the interview and i saw him kind of say he looked in his wife's eyes when this first broke and he was convinced it was a total surprise to her when he first asked her did she know anything about it and she said she had no idea and this is someone who has been married 21 years. i was taken aback by the fact she was involved and she later on admitted to him that she was. so that whole kind of relationship there is certainly one that you say, how deep was that that he would really be able to look in each other's eyes and know whether or not they were telling the truth. >> we hope the circle is closing in on these guys. bill daly thank you. the house getting ready to release the results of a massive review of its hostage policy. ahead, how the administratio

reportedly plans to allow families to offer ransoms to terrorists. plus we're now learning the data breach of the federal government records was a lot bigger than what the white house originally told us. the director of the agency that the hackers targeted fielding questions from lawmakers today. that's coming up.

thanks for calling angie's list. how may i help you? i heard i could call angie's list if i needed work done around my house at a fair price. you heard right, just tell us what you need done and we'll find a top rated provider to take care of it. so i could get a faulty light switch fixed? yup! or have a guy refinish my floors? absolutely! or send someone out to groom my pookie? pookie's what you call your? my dog. yes, we can do that. real help from real people. come see what the new angie's list can do for you. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers.

it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. fox report now, more headlines from the fox news desk. the maryland governor larry hogan says he needs to be an underdog and a fighter again. after doctors diagnosed him with cancer. he says he first detected a tumor while shaving last month. the republican governor says he will miss work during treatment. voters elected him last year in what analysts huge upset. the soldier who says he killed six fighters inside the afghan parliament building is get a promotion and a new apartment that's according to the afghan president who tweeted this photo.

the tal began to win the freedom of bowe bergdahl last year sending five detainees from guantanamo bay in exchange. dan o'shea is a former navy s.e.a.l. he had a role in responding to every major hostage incident in iraq from 2004 to 2006. he's currently associate editor at the defense standard magazine. if in fact this is the change in policy and we expect we'll have that confirmed tomorrow what do you make of it? >> well it's really due in large part to a tremendous amount of criticism about how the hostage cases were handled last year. you had government officials telling the families you're not allowed to negotiate a ransom and/or efforts to release your son. we're going it charge with you a crime because you're negotiating with terrorists. yet our own government was doing the very same thing with the haqqani network. so the hypocrisy is pretty

compelling and that's what forced the review. the word that's coming up they're making positive substantive changes in the right direction but this is a long time in coming because they learned all these lessons a long time ago in iraq. it seems the lessons were misplaced in the next generation of this al qaeda, now isis style kidnappings for hostage ransom. dwroo >> there are other nations where paying ransom is quite common european countries, saudi arabia. is the u.s. alone in banning their citizens from paying ransom? >> no we had a very strong partnership in that policy of no concessions to terrorism. the british, the australians, and the canadiens were lock step with that u.s. policy which in large part protected americans. the fact that the perception was that the u.s. the uk brits and australians don't pay ransoms, it actually protected their citizens. the countries that did pay ransoms, france germany, italy, many mainland european powers all it did was drive up the

price and put a target on anyone traveling with those passports. this change in policy sadly will actually put a bigger target on americans traveling abroad. >> that's what i wondered. now if all of a sudden hostages can be ransomed american hostages doesn't it make the kidnapping of other americans more likely? >> of course it does. it will drive the business. it will drive the industry and that's, you know -- the sad part of this business is it's a commodity. when every -- when the word came out the french released a hostage for $1 million, they grabbed another frenchman weeks later and the price was $3 million and then it went up to $5 million. we worked over 400 kidnapping cases over my two years in iraq and i can give case study after case study that the countriescquiesce and they pay the ransoms, all it did was drive the business. same thing off the coast of africa somalia and the horn. when the kidnappings started and the companies started paying the

multimillion dollar ransoms, all it did was drive the business until we took an aggressive policy arming the ships, the cargo ships, and they protected the cargo and that's what ultimately defeated them. you have to go on the offensive with this type of terrorism because if you acquiesce to it all you're doing is inviting more of the same. >> dan o'shea former navy s.e.a.l. thank you, dan. >> thank you. the massive cyber attack into the federal government is expected to be at least four times larger than what the white house originally admitted. that from multiple national security and intelligence sources to fox news. senate lawmakers today grilling the head of the office of personnel management the agency the hackers targeted. it is essentially the human resources department of the entire federal government. she tells lawmakers the agency is still trying to figure out just how much people this breach hit. earlier this month the white house announced that suspected chinese hackers stole info from at least 4 million federal

workers. now we're told that number could be as high as 30 million, and it may even include folks who only applied for a government job and the people included on their reference list. chief intelligence correspondent katherine harage is live in washington. >> john, based on the classified briefings to congress, fox news is cold the number could guy as high as 30 million. this application known as the sf-86 was targeted and these forms are more than 100 pages long requiring military and police records, drug and alcohol use, as well as sensitive and deeply personal information on relatives. and today witnesses testified the attackers were so good encryption would not have made a difference in this case. >> in this particular case it would not have prevented it. >> my question wasn't whether it would have prevented the breach it was whether it would have prevented the accessibility and use of personally identifying

information once the system was breached. >> no it would not have in this case. >> not clear whether the 18 months of free credit monitoring for government employees will also be extended to their relatives whose personal information was affected john. >> wow. what else came out of that hearing today, catherine? >> witnesses testified today that the opm breach could extent to every government agency and the white house surprisingly enough is not off limits. >> were you among those individuals who was notified their data may have been promised as part of either of the breaches? >> i was. >> you were? can you give us a sense of how many people in this office were -- this executive office right now working for the president of the united states. >> i don't know how many people at the white house were affected. >> one of the key takeaways today is that the harvesting of this data goes well beyond opm and the number of cyber attacks on medical records has gone up nearly ten fold in the last year and experts believe the

chinese are basically aggregating this information to build a composite of individuals to use that information for blackmail or to impersonate authorized users for future cyber breaches, john. >> scary stuff. catherine herherridge thank you. >> you'r're welcome. >> some of the water bottles you may find in grocery stores could be contaminated with human or animal waste. that according to a california bottling company. you can see some of those brands in our wall. the company claims it found evidence of e. coli contamination at one of its water sources. a spokesman reportedly said the company was acting out of an abundance of caution and most of the water has not made it to stores. the company also claims it has not received any reports of illness or injury. the company behind the biggest car safety recall in u.s. history may have put profits ahead of public safety. that is the accusation from

senate democrats. the company disputes the report. investigators say exploding takata air bags have caused eight deaths and more than 100 injuries. officials say metal shrapnel can go flying into the faces of drivers and passengers. last month the company agreed to double the number of air bag inflaters it is recalling to more than 33 million. joining us now, the fox business network's gerri willis with more. what happened at the hearing today? >> takata took the heat. they were talking about the ak saying that is they were trading safety for profits. so this is what was said in this report. i just want you to get the exact kind of information about this because it was fascinating. internal e-mails obtained by the committee suggested takata may have prioritized profit over safety by halting global safety audits for financial reasons, and takata now responding to that saying this the report contains a number of

inaccuracies based largely on old media articles that takata has previously refuted and e-mails that are taken out of context and characterized in ways to create a false impress. i have to tell you i listened to a lot of this hearing this morning. there was a lot of defending, a lot of dancing about these air bags. >> i see you around fox from time to time but i don't usually see you walking around with auto parts. you have one of those air bags. >> i have one of these air bags. let me just show you, if it was in your car, this is what would be facing you, john and this is the way it would be deployed. that's what you've seen. well here are the guts the innards of this thing. i want to show you exactly what's going on. these are the wires that tell the air bag to deploy and what happens is there's ammonium nitrate in this. feel how heavy this is. >> wow. >> and it expands but in this case it exploded and so this metal casing broke apart inside these cars. this is how eight people have

died now, and injured people. in fact cops on the scene who saw this said what it looked like to them was a homicide. that's what they expected when they came up on these cars, but come to find out it was the explosion of these air bags. >> shrapnel really that's the kind of stuff you would put in a bomb. >> that's absolutely right. we have hundreds of people who have been injuried with this eight people dead and we see congress pushing trying to get this thing fix approximated. >> gerri willis fox business network. thank you. >> thank you. president obama's trade bill faced another test today after a big setback thanks to members of his own party. we'll get you a live report there capitol hill. plus forecasters are warning of more storms and possible tornadoes after severe weather swept through the midwest. that's coming up from the fox news desk.

across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza.

authority over trade agreements. that means congress can reject or ratify those deals but not change them. the president is at odds with lots of members of his own party over this. unions also oppose it. they claim free trade deals cost the u.s. jobs. but president obama and most gop leaders say american products immediate need to reach more markets. today's vote was pretty close, huh? >> john, absolutely. there was a 60-vote threshold and the throatvote was 60 to 37. ben cardin and ted cruz were no votes. they had voted yes the last time. in the end senate majority leader mitch mcconnell called this probably the biggest bipartisan accomplishment during the obama years. >> not only does it have important commercial implications trade agreement and process that covers about 40% of the commercial it

also has very important defense and foreign policy implications. >> he's talking like it's over because final passage will only require a simple majority, so there should be plenty of votes for that tomorrow john. >> what's been the argument against trade today? >> reporter: well democrats and some unions are basically saying that they feel like trade deals may be bad for american workers. elizabeth warren the massachusetts democrat was on talking about it earlier saying essentially she thinks the rules of the trade deals will be ep forced for multinational corporations but not for hard-working american families. an ohio democrat expressed his own concerns. >> we're just going to forget, at least temporarily, about helping those workers that lose jobs because of decisions we make? how immoral is that? how shameful is that? what a betrayal of those workers. what a betrayal we are inflicting on those workers if

we make this decision today. >> on that concern both the white house and the republican leader mitch mcconnell want to pass a trade assistance package by the end of the week. john? >> mike emanuel, thank you. breaking news in the search for those two escaped killers in upstate new york. back with that in a moment. before earning enough cash back from bank of america to buy a new gym bag. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time and 2% back at the grocery store. even before he got 3% back on gas. kenny used his bankamericard cash rewards credit card to join the wednesday night league. because he loves to play hoops. not jump through them. that's the excitement of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you.

breaking news and word that something has police in upstate new york swarming to a new search scene. this as they continue to try to hunt down those killers who tunnelled out of prison. our crew on the scene tells us the manhunt appears to be really heating up. rick leventhal is here from mountain view new york. what is going on there, rick? >> reporter: we saw a series of

police cars come flying by us after the live shot. we found where they were going. it was the town of mountain view a few miles from here where we have a few helicopters hovering over an area where there are dozens if not hundreds of officers who have now gathered for a search of a relatively flat area in this part of flank lynn county. we saw state troopers with their shotguns drawn lining the streets. there was a road block set up and we managed to get up to the point where they were gathering. we are watching the investigation into these woods. at least apparently i'm guessing they have found the convicts of david sweat and richard matt. there's been heavy equipment

brought in. we saw one of the s.w.a.t. type vehicles and still have police from various agencies rolling down the road toward that scene as helicopters continue to hover overhead. >> no indication though exactly what has triggered this big swarm of police activity rick? >> reporter: well, according to one officer i spoke with it was based on some sort of sighting. but they know that these men were in this area as recently as saturday when a man went to check on his hunting cabin and found things amiss there and he yelled out to someone bolting out the back door. when police responded, they found evidence that they directly traced through dna to the two escaped convicts. that cabin was within a couple miles from where we are standing so police have been warned they could still be in the area because they have been watching so closely to see where they might move next. and now what we have -- we may

have the area of the two escaped convicts. >> we are told helicopters are hovering right over wolf pond road. a popular gathering spot there not far from where you are. folks who may be watching this think of new york as the city of new york and a very urban metropolis. this is northern new york state. this is very rugged. very full of trees. >> reporter: and swamp. wolf pond road leads to the cabin located where these men were hiding out. so this would be very close to where they were just last spotted just over two days ago. this is very rugged terrain, very mountainous and very challenging for anyone to move about. if you're not on a trail, if you're not on a road or railroad track, it's going to be really tough to hide anywhere.

and cops are watching the roads and railroad tracks so going through the woods, they will have a very tough time here. there are dozens if not hundreds of officers converging on a site in mountain view searching based on a tip or a sighting for these two convicts. >> this is the photo that a viewer just sent us here on the news desk. if you look into that area right there, you can see a helicopter hovering near wolf pond road where authorities have something that alerted them to the possible presentation of these two escaped convicts. very dangerous men that have been on the run for more than two weeks. we should point out authorities thought they had them surrounded one time before and that didn't pan out. but this time there could be a better indication this is for real because of the dna evidence collected over the weekend. >> reporter: there have been some 2,000 tips and leads that have been called in in the 18

days since the men escaped. as far as we know only one of them panned out. and now this one that came in on saturday where the -- we are told they found toiletries and fingerprints and other dna evidence that is linked to the escaped convicts. again, that puts these men in this exact vicinity. so as far as we know there's no indication they were able to get out of here. they are still here and they may be pinned in as the officers search that area of mountain view. and we are about aile from the heart of the search. >> richard matt and david sweat still on the run here. mountain view is 20 miles to the west of dannemora of where the state prison is located. authorities believe the two escapees had plans to jump in a car with an accomplice who helped them escape. but she reportedly got cold feet

and did not make that car trip. checked herself into the hospital instead, so that it appears they may have made it 20 or so miles probably all on foot. authorities have had a couple sightings and some of those sightings have been 40 miles away or more from the prison. they have investigated them all, but this one appears to be real, appears to be authentic. and the fact that there's dna evidence located in a hunting camp a small rustic cabin very deep in the woods near mountain view would indicate they may be on to something here. there are the pictures david sweat, i'm sorry, david sweat and richard matt who escaped from the clinton correctional facility on june 6th. again, the authorities are swarming onto an area. perhaps we can put the picture up again because it just came into us from one of our viewers who is basically inside the

search perimeter. says he or she is hiding inside the search perimeter, took this shot and sent it to us here on the news deck. here you see one of the search helicopters that is in the air, dozens perhaps scores or hundreds of police officers from multiple agencies are moving in on that area. rick leventhal is heading there as well. but you can imagine security is tight as a drum. they are not letting reporters get anywhere close to this scene. authorities are saying that dozens of police cars and road blocks are up. it is a densely forested area. and it all started just about 30 minutes ago according to our friends at the press republican up there, one of the newspapers. it's the second sighting of the day. and this one appears to have some real promise to it. it would be nice to report to you that matt and sweat haveare in

custody. we hope to say that to you in the next couple of hours. i'm john scott in for shepard smith.
