uncle sam. bob evans is offering 30% off with a coupon. bruger's bagels is giving you a deal, also. >> we're saving you money. >> bill: good morning. the search for that cleveland killer is still underway at this hour. there is a manhunt that has gone nationwide. steve stephens, age 37 on the run considered dangerous. moments from now, police will provide us with the latest details and we'll watch and listen for that statement together. good morning. it's tuesday. i'm bill hemmer, welcome to "america's newsroom." >> shannon: i'm shannon bream in for martha maccallum. local and federal agencies expanding their search this morning. a $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his capture. >> bill: facebook says it will review its video posting policies after the murder was posted and left on the site for several hours online. >> shannon: we are learning

that steve stephens was facing serious financial trouble. he had a gambling problem and recently evicted from his apartment. the victim was 74-year-old robert godwin, father of 10, grandfather to 14. his family has this message for the killer. >> i just want him to know that god loves him. we love him, yes, we're hurt but we have to forgive him because if we don't forgive him the bible says your heavenly father won't forgive you. >> i said i'm not happy with what you did but i forgive you. >> if he didn't do anything else. if he did nothing, he gave us god, which means we have eternal life and we'll see him again. >> bill: powerful words there. peter doocy leads our coverage live in cleveland. police will brief in 30 minutes. have they had any luck finding him or the vehicle? >> no, bill. they've been pouring over video

from throughout this area, this cleveland area, it makes it hard to figure out which direction the fugitive at the wheel is heading. >> it's very hard. it is difficult. i mean, again, you know, it's a white 2016 vehicle four-door and there are thousands that travel throughout northeast ohio. >> even though there are now billboards as far away as california bearing this fugitive's face and picture of his car the cleveland police chief says right now his department doesn't have any reason to believe steve stephens has left ohio. the murder scene on easter sunday, the social worker who snapped, allegedly executed a 74-year-old man picking up aluminum cans off the sidewalk. there is a $50,000 reward for information to help catch steve stephens. investigators are following up

on every lead but he could be everywhere and he has taken one victim at random. >> bill: they put on a plea for the public yesterday to come forward and encourage him to turn himself in. clearly it hasn't happened. has the alleged murderer spoken to anyone, do we know that, peter? >> he actually spoke to a detective from the cleveland police department who got word that the facebook account was showing a helpless senior citizen being murdered on the sidewalk and the detective called stevens. urged him to turn himself in and didn't have any luck. that's the only law enforcement contact that he has had since allegedly murdering this innocent stranger. the police department has been in touch with others that stephens has reached out to on the run, nobody has been able to help find his hiding spot. investigators don't have clues to back up the claim he killed more than a dozen people. he is only linked to one murder now. police have recovered some

evidence relevant to their manhunt including some weapons. the belief, though, is that he still has the pistol that is seen in this video that was uploaded to facebook for his friends to see on the social networking site for more than two hours that sparked this manhunt that started here in cleveland but has spread to the rest of the continental united states. >> bill: 26 minutes we'll hear from police. peter doocy on scene in cleveland, ohio. >> shannon: meanwhile tensions with north korea continue to rise as vice president pence meets with leaders in japan today. vice president doubling down on his warning to the rogue regime urging peace through strength. >> under president trump the united states will continue to work with japan and allies in the region. let me be clear, our commitment

is unwavering and our resolve could not be stronger. >> shannon: the north korean regime saying it's ready to react to any mode of war by the u.s. john roberts is standing by with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. as you saw from vice president mike pence more tough talk on north korea today visiting in tokyo with the japanese prime minister. the vice president making the point the u.s. has spent decades cutting deals with successive north korean leaders only to watch them cheat and make demands for new deals. pence insisting the obama policy of strategic patience at it was called. wait and watch, is over. down playing the imnens of any kind of military action. successive white houses haven't found a military option that wouldn't -- neither the vice president nor the press secretary yesterday were taking military action off the table. listen here. >> all options are on the table.

there they will remain. president trump and i and our administration believes the most productive pathway forward is dialogue among the family of nations that can isolate and pressure north korea. >> does this president believe there are viable military options for dealing with north korea? >> again, i think taking anything on or off the table is in itself limiting your options to some degree so i'm not going to even discuss it. >> bringing economic and diplomatic pressure against north korea is nothing new. president trump hopes china will help reign them in. china was part of six-party talks that reached an agreement with north korea and north korea breached the deal and cheated again. >> shannon: all right, now domestically today the president is going to wisconsin to sign an executive order on

hire american by american. >> he goes to kenosha wisconsin to visit the snap-on tool factory. i could never afford them as a kid. the president will do more to try to level the playing field y american.es to hiring one of the things he will order a review of the h1b visa program. the president believes that visa program is being abused to bring in lower-wage workers as opposed to highly skilled workers. the executive order will call for a review of buy american policies at federal agencies to maximize the use of federal goods and materials in federal contracts and also review trade agreements to make sure if the playing field is not fair in terms of benefits to american industries and workers, that the trade deals can be renegotiated. >> shannon: john roberts live at the white house on a beautiful day.

>> bill: want to bring in byron york. how are you, sir, good day to you? donald trump back on home turf with a message that sounded like this during the campaign? >> we believe in two simple rules, buy american and hire american. buy american and hire american. buy american and hire american. >> bill: that's in a state that has not gone republican since the 1980s. the message today is pretty obvious. >> before donald trump, wisconsin last voted for a republican for president in 1984, the reagan landslide. ever since then until donald trump this visit today, this event at snap-on tools and executive orders shows trump remembering why he was elected, to bring more jobs at higher wages to american workers. it is a message that always works for the president.

>> bill: now on the message back in washington, d.c. whether it's healthcare or tax reform, steve mnuchin gave an interview. meaning the pre-disposed deadline for tax reform would come in august and that won't happen. what do you see on the calendar, byron? >> not realistic is a nice way to say it. first of all obamacare hasn't been done, tax reform hasn't been done. as i look at the house calendar there are 47 days in session left between now and the august recess. that's not a lot of time in capitol hill terms and the trump administration always had a very unrealistic calendar about how quickly it could do some of this stuff. it was like this week we'll do obamacare, next week tax reform. way, way too quick. very unrealistic and there still doesn't seem to be an

agreement about whether they have to do obamacare repeal and reform before tax reform or not. that was the original plan. then when obamacare blew up the president said we're going ahead to tax reform. now people are talking about trying obamacare ahead of time. the bottom line is unlikely to see either one by that august recess. >> bill: 47 days before august, huh? that's like part-time work, byron. thank you very much. byron york live in washington, d.c. thanks. back here in new york now if you had healthcare you could see how tax reform could be on the fast track but once that vote was thrown off everything starts to back up. >> shannon: they're on recess as we've discussed. there is a lot to get done in a very short amount of time. it's compressed. sometimes that's motivating, right? president trump taking a hard line on north korea and newt gingrich says it's for good reason. >> if you're the president of the united states and being told by your military leaders

this is so dangerous you could at some point lose a city, i think you have to take very serious steps to stop that from happening. >> shannon: his critics say the president is hurting america on the world stage with what they call his credibility gap, really? >> bill: the fight is on in georgia. democrats pouring millions into that special election. a congressional seat that has been republican for decades. the man you just heard from once held that seat. newt gingrich is here to talk about that. then there is this. >> shannon: tax day is here and critics are once again pushing the president to make his tax returns completely public. do they have a point? or is it time to put this issue to rest? >> the president is never going to release his tax returns? >> we'll have to get back to you on that. >> he may? >> i said i would have to get

back to you on that. per roll

more "doing chores for dad" per roll more "earning something you love" per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand. so you get more "life" per roll. bounty, the quicker picker upper >> shannon: ruled out a military strike? >> i don't want to telegraph what i'm doing or thinking. i'm not like other administrations saying we'll do this in four weeks. it doesn't work that way. we'll see what happens. >> did we sabotage the north korea strike? >> i don't want to comment. >> what happens if new york --

>> former speaker of the house newt gingrich with me now. good to have you back here on "america's newsroom." two really big topics. one overseas and one at home. let's start overseas. north korea said earlier today it will launch a missile every week or every month for however long it happens. charles krauthammer is making that case at some point a year or two from now we'll shoot a missile from the sky. i don't know if that's the case or not. it appears to me that this has reached a stalemate. what is your view of that now with north korea? >> first of all i thought that the president was exactly right in the interview that he gave ainsley and is doing it the right way and made the point about china. we have moved the chinese, their visit in mar-a-lago moved the chinese dramatically. they've cut down on the amount of coal they're buying from north korea replaced with

american coal. the biggest single source of northern exchange north korea has. the chinese moved 125,000 troops to the border and i think that the north koreans have to feel increasingly isolated. my view is when you deal with a country that may have nuclear weapons in a serious way, you have to be careful. you want to increase the pressure, you want to be prepared to fight if you have to, but i wouldn't do anything present sip advertise at this point. i would keep squeezing him harder and harder. as long as the chinese are willing to continue to squeeze him he will get weaker. at some point things will break. but ideally we would have some kind of military coup or replacement of the regime. you don't want to do it militarily. they have a lot of rockets near seoul. it would be dangerous. >> bill: whose move is next? >> both sides. the chinese have to prove to trump they're increasing the

pressure on north korea. i think we'll probably start moving anti-missile defenses into korea in a very big way. the japanese will build up their anti-missile defenses and take steps to squeeze north korea and make it less and less relevant. apparently. the president wisely didn't comment, apparently we have a cyberattack underway we may have blown up their last missile. if they want to launch one missile a week that we blow up you don't have to shoot it out with rounds the way charles krauthammer said. you might take it out with cyber devices that talk to the missile and tell it to do something different like blow up, fall into the ground or whatever. they can have failed tests forever if they want to waste their money doing that as long as we can keep making them fail. >> bill: let's come back home in a strict you know well. you once held a seat there. tom price had it and vacated it to take a position at hhs.

from the white house this morning trump tweeted the policy. very weak on crime and illegal immigration. wants higher taxes, say no. another one, republicans must get out today and vote in georgia 6, forced runoff, easy win. dem ossoff will raise your taxes and bad on crime. donald trump carried this district by less than two points. why is this apparently so close? >> i think -- i think it is close. i think it's likely the democrats will get somewhere between 44 and 48%. it is unlikely he will get 50 and likely we'll beat him in june when we get to the second round but look, liberals across america saw this as their great hope. i think he has raised over $12 million for a congressional race. more than anybody except speakers of the house have ever raised and far more being spent

in one district was spent anywhere in america. i think there are 13 republican candidates all fighting each other because they want to get to a number, too. i think the key here is if he doesn't get over 50, you go to a runoff. if you go to a runoff, all the republicans come together, the president probably ends up campaigning down there and he loses at which point the media will have to once again be disappointed. but kansas was the same way. we won and nobody wrote any articles about kansas anymore. we'll talk tomorrow what the results are. my hunch is he won't make it. >> bill: i only have 20 seconds left. there is a little burp here in the satellite here. now you have a race that democrats think they can win. what does it suggest to you about the power or the energy

perhaps on the left today against this white house? >> it's very mobilized because they are terrified that donald trump means the end of their world. they are legitimately mobilized because donald trump means the end of their world. you'll see great intensity riots on college campuses or marches or protests or special elections, the left is deeply mobilized and very frightened. >> bill: thank you, sir, for your time today. newt gingrich with us today. we'll watch it later, thanks. 21 past the hour now. >> shannon: potentially deadly cocktail in the making. reports that isis and al qaeda may team up to join forces. adam kinzinger with more on that and what that kind of alliance could mean in the war on terror. >> bill: will susan rice testify before congress? we'll ask the house intel committee member whether or not that happens next.

>> susan rice said she didn't do it for political reasons. >> nobody believed that. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around the house. oh, of course! tom, i am really sorry. i've gotta go. look, call right at home. get the right care. right at home.

for years, centurylink has been promising fast internet to small businesses. but for many businesses, it's out of reach. why promise something you can't deliver? comcast business is different. ♪ ♪

we deliver super-fast internet with speeds of 250 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than centurylink. we do business where you do business. ♪ ♪ >> president trump: when you look at susan rice and what's going on and so many people are coming up to me and apologizing now saying you know, you were right when you said that.'t kno i was because nobody knew the extent of it. >> shannon: that's president trump speaking the maria bartiromo on his believe that susan rice broke the law. for requesting the names of his aides mentioned in surveillance transcripts. rice insists she did nothing wrong. parties agree with rice. whether she will testify under

oath. we'll bring in a congressman. is the it intention to get her to testify before the house committee? members on the senate intel say that's their plan on their side. what about yours? >> well, the list of witnesses that we plan to bring forward hasn't been released. i think susan rice is someone of interest that i would like to talk to. i think people need to understand what took place here or at least try to find out what took place here. you know, are we unmasking people arbitrarily, unmasking names of u.s. citizens that you went after specifically? was there a foreign intelligence entity to this that was of importance? these are things supposed to take place and we're supposed to be collecting foreign intelligence and u.s. citizens are supposed to be protected. we have some questions about

the system and we want to get to the bottom of what actually took place. >> shannon: for those who say listen, she was the national security advisor and have access to this information and be able to request the unmasking. if that's all that she did, is that a problem? are you worried about what happened next or do you think the unmasking itself could potentially have implications? >> there should be a reason for unmasking. let's go through the process a little bit. you gather foreign intelligence. a u.s. citizen is either mentioned or part of the conversation. they are to be protected. the reports are supposed to say u.s. citizen. if there is no foreign intelligence matter involved you get rid of it all together. if there is something of importance for foreign intelligence you may keep it. but you still protect the u.s. citizen unless there is a specific reason you need to find out who that citizen is. one question i have is well, were you actually looking for a u.s. citizen in intelligence reports by name or were you

looking at intelligence reports and then wanting to know who the u.s. citizen was? >> shannon: are you confident that your investigation will lead you back to the paper trail to those answers? >> i think it can. we have to have an open process. this is about the privacy of u.s. citizens and the rules we have in place. and let's hope that we don't find things that were knee ferrous in nature. i think it's questionable why the national security advisor was digging into this, a white house staffer, and certainly there should be reasons as to why. i hope we hear from anybody involved with this and tell us what took place and make sure we have a process in place that makes sense, that does allow us to gather foreign intelligence and protects u.s. citizens. >> shannon: we're out of time but i want to ask you because the chairman nunes has stepped down from the russian investigation.

is that proceeding? how would you describe it under different leadership? >> he has stepped aside. it is still going forward. nunes is stepping aside until he gets the ethics charges cleared up which i think he will in a quick fashion. >> shannon: congressman, thank you for being with us today. >> bill: more to come on that. meantime senator tom cotton facing the heat on president trump's tax returns. >> as far as i'm aware the president says he is still under audit. >> bill: it is april 18th but that makes it tax day officially because of the calendar this year. the white house says president trump is still under audit. should the issue be over and done with? we'll debate that fair and balanced minutes away. >> shannon: we're awaiting the start of a news conference in cleveland. the latest update on the national manhunt for a killer.

>> bill: are you with a patient now? >> i heard a gunshot. >> he is dead. what the road demands, the gs delivers. experience high performance through high technology, in the lexus gs 350 and gs turbo. experience amazing.

>> police in cleveland, ohio on the cleveland killer. the manhunt for that man has gone nationwide accused of killing a grandfather at random and posting that crime on facebook. so this is the status as we go live in cleveland. >> a tragedy involving steve stephens on easter sunday. and i want to start off by really thanking the godwin fam low and those of you who have watched them as they've gone through this tragedy how they've handled themselves, the message that they've been giving. they are to be commended and

thanked for their leadership in this because they have demonstrated even in this tragedy, this personal tragedy to their family, that they have forgiven and that they have come together in a way that they've asked us as a community to forgive and to begin to heal because what happened on easter sunday was traumatic. traumatic to the godwin family but traumatic to cleveland in particular but with social media this has gone all over the country and people are having the same kind of response and reaction to this of how the loss of innocence has affected them. so i want to say to the godwin family that we're proud of them and really thank them for showing us the way in this situation. the chief and our federal

partners will begin to talk about some of the things that we are doing. a lot of -- there may not be a lot of new stuff but what we want to do is keep you informed so that the facts will be the facts, not anything else, okay? chief. >> good morning. just a couple of things. we have not located steve. we're still asking the public's help in that regard. just a couple of technical things for the community to understand. this is currently a nationwide search and we are getting calls from all over the country. as far away as texas. if there is a perceived sighting of steve or this vehicle, we want you to dial 911 right away. if you think you see steve out there or if you think you have

spotted that vehicle, we want you to call 911 right away. if you think you have information that may lead to steve or that vehicle, then that's what that f.b.i. tip line is all about. we're getting people as far away as texas that are saying i just saw him in a wal-mart and calling the tip line and we relay that information and have to get back to that jurisdiction to have boots on the ground right then and there go and check that out. so if you think you spot him or that vehicle, call 911, your local jurisdiction so they can get officers there right away. if you think you may have information that leads us to him and the vehicle call the tip line. there are a couple of things floating around out there as far as us tracking this vehicle through some kind of gps or vehicle locating system. that vehicle is not equipped with any of those systems.

of course, that's the first thing we looked at from the dealership aspect and also from ford motor company itself. the vehicle is not equipped for that type of tracking. but again we're still asking the public's help in locating steve. we have received to date almost 400 tips nationwide on this so we encourage people to keep sending in those tips. with that i'm going to quickly turn it over to steve anthony from the f.b.i. >> thank you, chief. a quick follow-up. can't overemphasize that point enough. someone out there with 100 years plus experience in the u.s. marshal, and state, local, federal agencies, if someone out there has a key piece of information that could help us resolve this matter they just might not know it. when it doubt, they have to make the call as the chief just

said, 911, 1-800, call f.b.i. we don't care. call someone and have law enforcement follow up. we have a $50,000 reward announced yesterday by the mayor. that is still out there. we do have -- we have issued an unlawful flight to avoid prosecution warrant based upon the underlying murder warrant filed by the city of cleveland. all that does is again lets everyone know very clearly every federal and local agent, state agent that there is a federal warrant issued. and again any individual across the united states could act on that warrant, execute that warrant to resolve this matter and to take steve into custody. also as you know, we have billboards up throughout the country. again in the effort to make sure that steve's face, his vehicle is out there for the public to see. we can't thank you enough for making sure it's out there. we believe it will be critical

in resolving this matter and again as i know the marshal would agree and stand up here in a second is what we're trying to do again is close the aperture and narrow the space. we wish we could provide more information and more narrowly focus the search. obviously if we had that information you would know about that. again, we hope we get to that point so we can share that with you. and again try to elicit the public support to resolve this matter. 911, 1-800-call f.b.i. see something, say something, when in doubt, call it. marshal. >> we're very fortunate here in cleveland with our partners because i really believe our strength here is in our partnerships together. we have our task forces nationwide on this investigation across the country not only within the marshal service but within the

f.b.i. i made the comment the other day i think we are going to get this individual one way or the other. we've seen a lot of cases through here through northern ohio over the last 10 plus years, some may have run for a couple of days and some have run for a couple years. some have killed themselves after they ran. so at the end of the day we'll use all our resources, put everything together, not only locally but nationally, and follow up on every single lead no matter where it takes us within this country or other countries. so i'm very proud of all our partners here on both sides and again, very optimistic that we are going to bring closure to this. thank you. >> if i may add one more thing. over the last few days we've been talking to a lot of the clergy in regards to this and

they asked us to communicate to steve stephens that they are available to him if he needs their help. in particular one of the people, pastors that he had been talking to, pastor vernon. he had been talking to him early on even before the incident occurred and so the clergy wanted me to mention that they are available for him if he, in fact, needs their counseling or feels they could be of assistance to him in turning himself in. >> williams, has the investigation stalled? given so much exposure -- >> bill: that's a critical question, has it stalled? >> i don't think it's stalled. like the marshal says, these things can take two days, two weeks, two years. it depends on the individual that's out there. it depends on their mindset and what they plan on doing.

like i stated yesterday, depends on if they're getting assistance or not. when people go on the run like this, at some point in time they need help and we're telling people, you know, the only assistance in this case is to call us and let us know where this person is so we can resolve this. >> when was the last time anybody had any communication with him? >> bill: we were looking for new information and we're not getting a lot of it, shannon. a little more so here and there. one of the big challenges here, two of them, in fact, last seen in a white vehicle. you think about the sniper case in washington, d.c. 10 years ago looking for a white van. you see a white van on every street. this is the challenge for police. the other challenge we were talking to investigators yesterday. when social media gets a tip, that could be anywhere. and as they were mentioning the state of texas. we don't know. the last ping was picked up

late sunday night in erie, pennsylvania, 100 miles east of cleveland. this is a big mystery right now and a big question is whether or not this killer is getting help or in hiding. >> shannon: that's what investigators are saying. at this point being on the run situation, he is going to have to get help from someone else. that person will be in big trouble as well. >> bill: the cleveland killer still on the loose. updates out of ohio when we get it and more. >> shannon: coming up. it's isis joining up with al qaeda. will they go into a merger and a bigger terror network? what would it mean for the region and the rest of the world? adam kinzinger is live next. can also detect early signs of corrosion at high-tech military cameras that see through walls, can inspect our pipelines to prevent leaks. remote-controlled aircraft, can help us identify potential problems and stop them in their tracks.

at bp, safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.

>> you always talk about the president is under audit. is it time to say once and for all the president is never going to release his tax returns? >> we'll have to get back to you on that.

>> really -- >> really. >> shannon: white house getting grilled again on the president's taxes. they say he can't release them because he is still under audit. tax protests across the country calling on the president to make that information public. rich lowry a fox news contributor. rich, why not release them? just put this thing to bed. do you think he will be open to the argument? >> he should have released them long ago and move beyond this. i doubt he will ever release them. the audit thing feels like an excuse for his personal preference not to release them but politically the polls show by wide margins people want him to release them. by the end of the day is anyone

really going to vote for or against donald trump based on whether he is releasing his taxes? i highly doubt it. >> shannon: mo, it seems a lot of people on the left are suggesting there is something there that they would have voted or not. what is the point in getting them released in these endless protests and demonstrations? is there anything in there that would get him unelected? >> i think there are two political issues here. one, we don't know what's in there and the question that we're asking the president is don't the american people have the right to know what is in there and whether or not you have any foreign business or other business entanglements that we should know about. that's point number one. point number two is a bigger issue. we're beginning to see a tapestry of these issues coming together that can paint a picture of the president as the least transparent president in american history. a president who said he wanted to drain the swamp and be more responsive to the american

people. but when you put together the failure to release the tax returns, the failure to release the white house visitor logs, the appointing people to his cabinet that he railed against during his campaign and then giving them waivers to avoid ethics rules, you start to connect these dots and it paints a picture that i think could be very damaging to the president politically with the swing voters that voted for him, were a little unsure, but wanted to have faith that he would mix things up. he doesn't seem to be. >> shannon: let's get rich back in there. they're going back the pre-president obama policy on visitor logs. no secret having worked in washington for years a lot of people went to meet with folks in the white house they met at caribou coffee. they weren't all on the visitor logs either. does the decision give fuel to the fire.

>> no one cares about the log or taxes discretely. you could have a larger narrative that could hurt president trump. he hasn't drained the swamp. he has been co-opted by the swamp. we aren't there yet. there is danger. the idea there is some smoking gun in the tax returns is fans full. the idea that democrats won't go along with tax reform until they see the tax reform, they wouldn't have gone along with tax reform anyway. it's a political issue. want to make as much political hay as they can out of it. there is not huge public interest, though, in seeing them, i believe. >> shannon: some of the folks would say the rallies this weekend prove otherwise. we have to leave it there mo and rich. great to see you both. >> bill: his job is to keep america safe. homeland security secretary john kelly about to deliver his first major address. what will he say about the fight against illegal drugs and

protecting our borders? that is next after this. hi, juice universe? one large rutabaga, with eggplant... done! that's not fair. glad i had a v8. the original way to fuel your day.

>> bill: the question is morning is isis and al qaeda about to merge? reports out of iraq are raising eyebrows about that possibility today. this is iraqi forces close in on isis fighters in mosul in northern iraq. illinois congressman adam kiz inc.er. >> when your enemies are fighting each other that's a good thing. they've been competing for the last number of years for supremacy in the radical islamist movement. they both claim they're the leader.

the good news in this is that it shows the united states under president trump is winning the war and al qaeda realizes now they aren't safe anywhere after the raids in yemen. after the attacks in other places that we're taking al qaeda and isis being rolled back from iraq and knowing their time is limited in raqqa and afghanistan. and so you see all this and i think now in desperation these two sides are coming together saying we can't compete with each other or we'll lose. let's try unite our forces. >> bill: they're both sunni. 16 years after 9/11. you spent a lot of time overseas and a lot of these high intelligence briefings. can you say and confirm that we're still actively pursuing both leaders of these organizations at this hour? >> sure. i think these are top targets and who we want to get. a lot of folks need to understand it is not easy for

the military when we look for saddam hussein for a long time it took a ground presence. finding somebody and killing them is not the easiest thing. unwrapping the network. that's where president trump and what you see different than what president obama did is he is actually doing these special forces raids, gathering information, using that information to hit. when i was in iraq that's what we would do. we would find top targets and unravel their networks and that's what we need to do and how to win the war. >> bill: intriguing development if it's true. thank you for your time today. ottawa, illinois. adam kinzinger, the republican there. >> shannon: much more ahead in the show. disturbing new information on north korea's latest missile launch showing signs of new capabilities coming out of pyongyang. lawmakers from both parties facing tough questions at rowdy town halls across the country. >> let's be respectful now. i would love to stay here as long as you want to stay here

>> shannon: disturbing new details on north korea's nuclear military build-up as they test a new missile used to target ships like the u.s.s. carl vinson now heading for the korean peninsula. a lot on deck this hour. >> bill: good morning. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. a potential carrier killer raising the stakes if north korea can get the new missile to work. the first two tests were failures. remember, they learn every time they test. meanwhile the vice president mike pence is in tokyo assuring the prime minister that america stands 100% with tokyo as the trump team confronts north korea and its dictator. >> all options are on the table. nevertheless, president trump and i have great confidence

that together with japan and our allies in the region we will protect the peace and security of this part of the world and achieve our shared goal of a nuclear-free korean peninsula. >> you won't see the president drawing red lines in the sand. the action he took in syria shows that when appropriate this president will take decisive action. >> president trump: i hope there is going to be peace. they've been talking with this gentleman for a long time. >> bill: ambassador john bolton on the breakdown. we start with jennifer griffin from the pentagon. what's the reaction from the secretary of defense traveling overseas, jennifer? >> this is the first time we've heard on camera from the secretary since the test. mattis arrived in saudi arabia. on the flight over he was asked about north korea's failed missile test. said.

>> the leader in north korea again recklessly tried to provoke something by launching a missile. it was not an intercontinental ballistic missile. it failed on launch. >> fox news learned more details on the missile that failed to launch over the weekend following a large-scale parade in pyongyang. it exploded four seconds after launch. a new designation for a scud missile designed to target ships. no images exist of the new missile. i'm told it's a single stage liquid fueled multi-not the solid fueled missile north korea successfully tested in february after it traveled 300 miles. >> bill: we hear about a navy aircraft carrier heading to the waters off the korean peninsula. is that new or what's the status?

>> there has been a lot of inaccurate reporting on the u.s.s. carl vinson's location. the vinson aircraft carrier hasn't been off the coast of the korean peninsula. over the week ago the head of u.s. pacific command cancelled a visit in australia and escort ships. it led many to believe vinson would immediately head north to the korean peninsula. we've learned the strike group has continued a training exercise with its australian counterparts near australia and will begin steaming north in another day or so arriving later this month. vice president mike pence is in japan today part of a 10-day asia trip to shore up alliances. >> all options are on the table and there they will remain. but president trump and i and our administration believes the most productive pathway forward is dialogue among the family of nations that can isolate and

pressure north korea. >> the crisis is far from over. looming on the horizon is another key date for the north koreans, april 25th marks the anniversary of the founding of the country's military, another date that kim jong-un likes to mark with dramatic tests. the good news is the carl vinson will be near the peninsula by then. >> bill: from the pentagon there, thanks. >> shannon: john bolton is a former u.n. ambassador and welcome. let's play something we heard from the deputy korean ambassador to the u.n. here is what he said and we'll get your reaction. >> if the united states dare to opt for military actions the crying out for preemptive and removal of the headquarters, we are ready to react to any mode of war desired by the americans.

>> shannon: he said that essentially we're acting like gangsters and we're the ones provoking all the tension in the peninsula. ambassador. >> they've got a whole lexicon of phrases and attacks they use. next we'll hear the threat to unleash a sea of fire across the korean peninsula. that's usually good at about this point in a crisis. the fact is for 25 years now republican and democratic administrations alike have tried either to persuade north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program through diplomacy or tried to coulders them to give up the nuclear weapons program. it has all failed and failed for a reason. that is the north korean regime is never going to give up its nuclear weapons program or ballistic missile program voluntarily. when we say to them give up your nukes what they hear is give up your lives.

it's their ace in the hole synonymous with the regime itself. >> shannon: who helps supply them and helping them get to this point? >> over the years i think it's clear russia and china have helped them in different aspects. they've been able to get russian and chinese ballistic missile scientists and technicians, nuclear technicians and undoubtedly over the last 20 years there has been an extraordinary level of cooperation with iran. we know that in great detail on the ballistic missile program. they both use the same soviet scud missile technology as the foundation for their missile programs. their objective is the same. they aren't looking to launch weather communication satellites these are to deliver nuclear warheads and every reason to believe there is close cooperation on the nuclear front, too. when the north koreans were building a clone of their reactor in syria until israel

destroyed it in september of 2007 i think the funding source had to come from somewhere, probably wasn't syria, probably was iran. big chunks of the iranian nuclear weapons program could be under mountains in north korea, a lot of outside help there, no doubt about it. i think it's continuing to this day. >> shannon: clearly we're at odds in russia and iran in hot spots. how do you think china being helpful to them getting to this point, how well do you think the pressure is going to be applied by them as that conversation continues between our president and theirs? >> i think they have to decide what their policy really is. for 25 years they've spoken out of both sides of their mouth. the one hand they say they don't want north korea with nuclear weapons because it threatens instability in east asia and that bothers them. on the other hand they haven't done anything materially to put pressure on north korea i think because they fear if they did

the regime would collapse. there is a deal we can reach. i think it's in china's best interest to have the two koreas merged and reunited done in a peaceful way that minimizes the humanitarian consequences but takes the north koreaian regime out. we're not asking the chinese to do it out of altruism for us. north korea is an ugly piece of baggage. if the chinese are serious they don't want north korea to have nuclear weapons, they can make that happen. >> shannon: there are ways to motivate everyone involved. you know them well. thank you very much, sir. good to see you. >> bill: washington the white house trying to revive healthcare negotiations. for some lawmakers it might be a tough sell back home. another round of town hall events turn hostile democratic senator feinstein and denim faced a group back home in california.

[shouting and chanting] >> i've expressed to leadership i'm a no until it's responsive to my community on the healthcare vote. >> bill: mike emmanuel picks up coverage from there. quiet day in d.c. what's happening on this front with regard to healthcare and what folks are hearing back home? >> the white house and republican all aisles in the house would love to put points on the board by passing a repeal and replacement plan for obamacare. it would keep a campaign promise republicans have made since the 2010 campaign cycle. getting there isn't easy when you have republican lawmakers representing districts that hillary clinton won in the election and you have conservatives like mark meadows who leads the freedom caucus. his group would like to strip out some of the aspects driving up cost. if you remove protection for pre-existing conditions you risk losing moderate support. a senator told his constituents

he is trying to be helpful in getting a deal. >> i've also got real credibility with leadership in congress and with the administration and so the role i'm trying to play is bring people together and focus on where do we have common ground on repealing obamacare, where are we on the same page? >> vice president mike pence has been heavily involved on capitol hill. conversations continue between top white house officials and key lawmakers trying to get to 216 votes to pass a bill in the house. speaker paul ryan took a lot of heat for the first plan that they called obamacare-like. an aid said ryan and his team are evaluating every new proposal to make sure it fits senate rules and doesn't lose moderate support. when lawmakers return next week a different issue funding the government will quickly become a priority. they must address that by the end of the month. >> bill: going to be a busy

next two weeks. mike emanuel in washington thank you, sir. >> shannon: you heard it over and over again during his campaign. >> president trump: we will have two simple rules when it comes to rebuilding this country, buy american and hire american. >> shannon: today the president heads to wisconsin to make good on that promise. >> bill: also there is a special election in georgia with the outcome holding big implications for both parties. will today's vote send shock waves into washington, d.c.? karl rove will analyze. he is live in a moment on that next. >> shannon: the search continues for the cleveland killer, the latest on the manhunt for that murderer next. >> what happened on easter sunday was traumatic. it was traumatic to the godwin family but to cleveland in particular but social media this has gone all over the country.

time's up, insufficient we're on prenatal care.es. and administrative paperwork... your days of drowning people are numbered. same goes for you, budget overruns. and rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. we're coming for you, too. for those who won't rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done.

>> bill: fox news alert. this is major news out of london. british p.m. theresa may called for an early election. might give opponents another chance to stop brexit or may not. she is betting it will give her more support. this is what she said hours ago. >> you have criticized the government's vision for brexit and challenged our objective and threatened to block the legislation we put before

parliament. this is your moment to show you mean it. to show you are not opposing the government for the sake of it, to show that you do not treat politics as a game. >> bill: at the moment polls show the conservative party with a lead over the opposition labor party and trying to strengthen that hand. early election june 8th on the calendar. >> liberals across america saw this as a great hope. i think he has raised over $12 million for a congressional race. more than anybody speakers of the house have ever raised and far more being spent in one distinct than ever was spent in america. >> shannon: the entire world watching a tiny strict outside of atlanta. democrats push hard to claim a congressional seat that has

been republican for 30 years. good morning, karl rove. let's talk down in georgia 70 paid staffers down there on this one congressional campaign on the democratic side. 8.3 million raised by the guy in three months. democrats have the intensity and have turnout. how concerned are you that he makes it past 50% today. if he does, there is no runoff. >> i am concerned. you showed the first republican to hold that district, newt gingrich won the district in 1978 and in republican hands. it's a tough hill to climb. there is a chance. i think there is a chance that the democrat could win 50% and avoid the runoff. if he doesn't get 50% then the question gets to be where in the 40s is he. the closer to 40 he is, the more likely he loses in the runoff. the second question is how good are the republicans in the days between now and the june runoff.

the june election in which there will be only two candidates on the ballot. how good are the republicans getting their act together and unifying? if he is at 48 or 49% and the republicans are fracous he has a chance to win it in the run off. if he is closer to 40 and the republicans bring themselves together they should win it. it is -- nobody likes special elections. can i show you a reason why people don't like them? >> shannon: i hope it involves a white board. >> it does. here is kansas. this was the district held by mike pompeo named the director of the central intelligence agency. 275,000 people voted there last fall. 120,000 turned out in the special election. 38% of the republicans who voted for pompeo. he got 167,000 votes. 63,000 turned out and voted for the republican in this runoff. of the democrats they got

81,000 votes last fall, 55,000 special election. two out of every three democrats who voted last fall turned out and voted in the special election but just over 1 out of 3 republicans who voted in the fall turned out and voted in special election. there could be real problems. tom price got 201,000 votes. let's look tonight to see how many people turn out to vote and what the aggregate republican and democrat vote is. >> shannon: the president tweeting out on this. it's a big potentially bellwether what people think how he is doing in office. he tweeted out john ossoff would be a disaster in congress. weak on crime and illegal immigration. bad an jobs and higher taxes say no. republicans must get out today and vote in georgia 6. dem ossoff will raise taxes, very bad on crime and second amendment. the president won that district by less than 2%. how much will his voice have an

impact? a plus or minus for republicans in that district? >> is thing that's driving democrat turnout. you would rather have the republican endorse the republican turnout. he barely won the district. hillary clinton got just under 47%. tom price got 62%. this is the kind of republican territory where donald trump has trouble. it is well educated, affluent, suburban. he does better in lower middle class, rural areas and these college educated suburban districts he doesn't do as well. at the end of the day whether republicans see it as a republican election or trump election. if it's a republican election and they go into the runoff and unite. if it is in their minds, republicans, a referendum on trump they probably largely turn out but there may be enough in a turnout -- in a

drop-off in the turnout in june that they could be at risk. look, tonight my gut tells me he gets in the mid 40s. there is a lot of work to be done between now and june unifying behind the republican winner and republicans take it in june. not a certain deal given it's a special election. >> shannon: given that your white board is partially filled out tonight we'll have the rest of the numbers. come back and we'll figure out what it all means. >> bill: 21 past the hour now. what we are learning about the nationwide manhunt for the accused cleveland killer. that's next as the victim's family speaks out now for the first time. >> call my father. he was a sacrifice. maybe the world will wake up. maybe the world will want to know god because you need him. >> bill: a moment hear what police must do to track him down today. >> shannon: the u.s. drops the mother of all bombs in

afghanistan, but how do we finally wrap up the war there? some military experts say you have to send in troops. a whole lot more. general jack keane will weigh in on whether he thinks that's the right move next. per roll more "doing chores for dad" per roll more "earning something you love" per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand.

10 kids. 14 grandkids. former police commissioner in boston, good morning to you. i see two significant challenges in hearing from police. they're looking for a white car. good luck with that. i know it's a ford fusion. when you say look for a white vehicle, that can throw all kinds of challenges your way. the other issue i'll get your view on this, social media can help or hurt because if you're getting tips as far away as texas maybe they're legitimate or not. people on the lookout for certain things and maybe to their eye they see something that might be suspicious but then it turns out to be a dead end. how do you then conduct this investigation with both of those challenges in front of you? >> good morning, bill. i found myself in these situations in chasing the craig's list killer and a number of other cases. this is a needle in the hay stack. a white car is not very noticeable.

in blends in. there are studies done about that. the detectives are running down leads right now. they're looking at any stolen license plates that may be reported from the area. they're looking at his friends and acquaintances and places he free quents. he will not disappear to a place he has never been and go to a place he will feel comfortable. they're chasing cell phones and quite frankly social media can be your best benefit in a case like this. >> bill: how so? >> the notoriety of this case has everybody paying attention to it. if this man shows up somewhere in the united states, somebody will spot him. there is no doubt in my mind that because of the widespread conversation about this on social media and on public airwaves people are looking for this car right now. police officers are looking for it all over the country. the 600,000 police officers, the f.b.i. has offices in each

one of the states that they can send people out to run the leads down. there is a very comprehensive network here and, you know, he is already on the top ten of the f.b.i. that also raises the stakes in the information around this. i have no doubt that they'll run this guy down. if he hasn't already committed suicide. >> bill: that's a possibility, too. last hour when police briefed there was very little new information they gave out. i don't know what it means but i'll get you to comment on that. the last ping on the cell phone happened at 7:00 p.m. east coast time on sunday night. >> he probably headed directly out of town after this incident and disposed of the cell phone when he realized it could be a liability to him. the other thing is he could have handed the phone off to someone and put people going in the wrong direction. you have to consider all of the possibilities here.

you have to focus your attention on the best leads that you have and run them down. but the fact that he hasn't turned up in the last day or two when there is so much notoriety indicates to me he either had an accomplice that's hiding him or he has gone into a wooded area and committed suicide. >> bill: for the sake of his family let's catch him soon. the family of the victim here who has left so many people behind and been so courageous in the past 24 hours. ed davis, thank you for your time. live in boston today, thank you, sir. >> shannon: north korea putting its missile program into overdrive. >> my view is when you deal with a country that may have nuclear weapons in a serious way, you have to be careful. you want to increase the pressure and prepared to fight if you have to. >> shannon: can the u.s. contain north korea's nuclear

threat? >> bill: police over seas stopping what they call an imminent terror attack today. those details in a moment when we continue.

>> bill: president trump talking tough on north korea and winning cooperation from china in the effort to tame the rogue nation. former house speaker newt gingrich talked about the new white house strategy and said this about it today. >> you want to increase the pressure, you want to be prepared to fight if you have to, but i wouldn't do anything precipitous at this point. i would keep squeezing him harder and harder. as long as the chinese are willing to continue to squeeze him, he is going to get weaker and at some point things i think will break. >> bill: jack keane is here. general, welcome back here. the story is ongoing. north korea suggested they'll fire a missile every week or month if it wants to or needs to or has to. that answer from the speaker

came from a question from me when i suggested to him that we have reached a stalemate. do you believe that's the case? if so, who makes the next move? >> i don't believe that's the case at all. the problem we have with the previous administration, despite the rhetoric of strategic patience, the north koreans and chinese and south korea's japanese knew the military option was not on the table. we never pushed back. the most significant acceleration of nuclear development occurred under the obama administration despite two previous presidents dealing with the same thing. here we are today. president trump has put the military option back on the table. he is certainly pressuring north korea. they actually believe i'm convinced that it's a real option and possibility. enter the chinese for the first time 20 plus years the chinese are willing to do something

about north korea's nuclearization program. this is the first effort they have ever made to try to coerce them to stand down. we'll see if it produces results. it's a major diplomatic breakthrough that i believe occurred for one reason only. new president, new policy and he put a military option on the table. >> bill: very interesting. based on what you're hearing in washington and overseas do you think this administration has the stomach to sit down with talks with the north koreans, four party or six party talks. is this in the trump team's dna? that's what we saw for 20 years, general. >> i don't think they'll buy into any of that. they know it's foolishness to talk to the north koreans in a bilateral way. they want concessions. that's their objections and nothing has ever come of it. just a robust nuclear arsenal and missile program. i don't think we'll ever fall

prey to that under this administration. they're doing the right thing. leverage china. we'll see if china truly does produce the results that they are indicating. it will take some time. you're talking about economic sanctions here. >> bill: let's shift to afghanistan. there is a report we talked about last hour isis and al qaeda merging. i don't know how true that is or not but we'll keep an eye on it. headline from the "wall street journal" today. the mother of all bombs from a week ago. daily caller has the story. after more than a decade and and a half u.s. needs more troops to win in afghanistan. this according to experts in the report that's written up there. i don't know where you are on how you win this war, general. but if you drop this 21,000 ton bomb and you gauge the results to be hum, not moving the meter much, what do you do?

do you put more troops in there or how do you figure a way to win 16 years down the road when the taliban appears to be gaining strength now? >> first of all this is a very winnable war. the fact is we aren't winning the war. we have no strategy to win. we don't have the right resources and capabilities in afghanistan. we pulled it all out. and number three relacked the political will to be win. it remains to be seen. 15 to 16 years in a war we should have wrapped up a long time ago. it is largely driven by president obama's policy decisions to never give the generals the troops they needed to win. that was petraeus and mccrystal and obama gave them 25% less troops and pulled them out in 15 months. at that point this war was doomed to be a protracted war and where we sit today.

the trump administration has sent mcmaster in charge of the national security council and his advisor to that country. the reason he is there is to make an assessment. what will we go about afghanistan? if we stay on the current path we'll protract this war. does afghanistan matter to this administration? do we want to win and bring it to an end? we'll have to have policy changes to reflect that. you would know. 21,000 pounds, not tons. thank you so much for your evaluation. two major hot pots as they continue today. jack keane live in washington thank you. >> shannon: fox news alert the state of arkansas says it will keep pushing to execute a half dozen men this month after the supreme court blocked the first round. that break came hours before that prisoner was set to die. two other executions are scheduled for thursday. casey siegel is live near the prison in arkansas. explain this expedited timeline, the rush here.

>> that's because the state is up against this deadline of april 30th. that is when a key drug needed to carry out these executions expires. the department of correction has the drug in its possession but it expires on april 30th. it is a sedative used by some states for lethal injections but widely used in the medical field for procedures. states have had a difficult time getting new supplies of this drug because many critics say it should not be used to kill people. so there was a flurry of last-minute court activity leading up to yesterday's scheduled executions. bruce ward and don davis were spared by the state supreme court and even the united states supreme court agreed to stay davis's execution at the last minute. he was served his last and final meal. both men were convicted of capital murder in the early 90s and on death row ever since

here in arkansas. and that is where they will stay for now as these legal battles continue to play out in various levels of the courts. shannon. >> shannon: there are so many tracks going on now. what is the state's plan moving forward? >> well, five death row inmates are still scheduled for execution. two of them are supposed to be carried out on thursday and then three others next week. it is anticipated that we will see a similar situation like we saw yesterday with lots of last-minute legal challenges. the state of arkansas has come under fire for putting eight executions on the calendar over an 11-day period. something that has never been done before by any other state. so critics of the death penalty have been protesting outside the governor's mansion and at the capitol building. the republican governor and attorney general say that they are trying to see justice out

for the victims of the family members who have been murdered by these eight men. so again it is confusing. lots of moving parts to this, shannon. and we're on top of it here from arkansas for you. >> shannon: keep us updated as it plays out. >> bill: appealed to the supreme court yesterday and refused the take it at the time for now or for good? >> shannon: they're putting the executions on hold and temporary until they can make a decision down the road. it wasn't on the merits of the case. >> bill: could it go back to the supreme court? >> shannon: it could. there is a similar case they will hear next week involving the death penalty. >> bill: president trump is cracking down on criminal illegal immigrants. >> president trump: it is a serious problem and we never did anything about it and now we're doing something about it. >> bill: homeland security john kelly about to make his first speech. what is his message today? that's next.

>> shannon: plus nasa honors an american hero, one of their own. a special tribute that will blast off to the stars later today. >> bill: exploration of the spacecraft when it begins to prepare to deploy. i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.

>> bill: getting this from the pentagon. sources now confirming with us that a pair of russian nuclear capable bombers flew near alaska monday night and came within 100 miles of land. the u.s. air force scrambled a pair of f-22 stealth fighters escorting the russians back to international airspace. it comes days after both president trump and the secretary of state rex tillerson said u.s. relations were moscow were at their worst level since the cold war. more on that when we get it here. stand by. >> shannon: homeland security secretary john kelly set to deliver his first major policy address on the threats facing the u.s. including terrorism and the rise of cyberattacks. it all comes ahead of a planned visit to our southern border

this week. president trump praising kelly's efforts to crack down on criminal illegal immigrants. >> president trump: we've gotten illegal immigrants that caused tremendous crime that murdered and raped people. horrible things have happened. they're getting the hell out or they're going the prison. so many towns and cities are thanking me because we have gotten rid of a burden that you would not believe. >> shannon: leslie marshall is a syndicated radio host. good to see you both. leslie, the president says cities and towns are thanking him. >> oh, i don't always believe what the president says with all due respect, shannon. living here with the largest undocumented population, living here with the largest legal immigrant population in the state of california i don't see people thanking him in our state quite frankly.

we have to look at the reality and the numbers aren't there. the majority of crime that is committed is by american born and raised people. terrorism attacks, mass shootings, none of which came over the southern border. president obama was called deporter in chief because he deported so many illegal immigrants. the criminal faction. >> shannon: the way the deportations were defined essentially changed. the vast majority of his deportations were people who were caught 100 miles of the border and turned around. it wasn't like he was going through communities and rounding up people here illegally and telling them to go home. the opposite was true. rachel, we shouldn't be surprised that california is not on the president trump band wagon. >> not on this issue or anything else. i'm from the state of arizona. plenty of people i know of the border, mexican americans who are happy that donald trump has taken this step in deporting

the bad, criminals and getting them out of our country. we see border crossings are down 70% in the last month. he is making good on his promise to secure the border. to get rid of the criminal felons, those are the first steps the american people wanted before they deal with immigration reform and what we do with the 11 million plus people that are here that aren't committing crimes other than that they crossed the border. many of them have children who are born in the united states and americans want to deal compassionately with them but not until the border is secured and the criminal felons are kicked out of the country. we'll have donald trump not the democrats who talked a big game but don't do anything. donald trump is poised to be the one to deliver on immigration reform and what's so interesting about this, shannon. not just republicans get the credit for it. when you take immigration off the table, hispanics look a lot like republicans. for lower taxes, lower regulations, they're for

religious liberty and pro-life and pro family. that's what strikes the fear in the hearts of democrats. >> shannon: when president obama was first elected for two years democrats held the house and senate as well. it wasn't a priority or didn't get done then. what do you make of rachel's prediction it's possible under president trump there could be bipartisan support to come together on these issues? >> there was bipartisan support during the obama administration. they wouldn't put forth a vote, both left and right haven't had the votes because they believe in reform but not the way to reform. for example the polls show the americans don't want a wall, they don't want to break up families or mass deportation. both democrats and republicans agree we want violent criminals deported. people with dui with children here isn't something. ice is doing it under this president. americans want. they also want -- >> shannon: did you say dui?

>> yes. >> shannon: people are killed and injured in those. i would assume that's something we would agree would be a criminal infraction. would you both say that is something that should get somebody deported if they're here illegally. >> i would have to look at the circumstance. >> shannon: very good. we'll leave it there on that bit of agreement/disagreement. good to see you both. >> thank you. >> bill: we're watching florida now, five rockets set to launch a few moments from now. this is a special day. nasa pays tribute to a legendary astronaut in a matter of moments just ahead. you always pay
