to fraying at the seams. this is "way too early." good morning everybody. it's thursday june 11. welcome to "way too early." i'm amy holmes. we begin in upstate new york with new developments in the man hunt for those two escaped killers on the run. in the past 90 minutes a perimeter was set up around a location three miles from the manhole cover, spot where the two escaped. it comes after a fresh tip triggered flurry of police activity overnight near the prison. residents were also told to turn on exterior lights to assist.

other information shows sweat and matt may have headed for vermont. >> we've deployed vermont state police marine assets on the lake. we have information to suggest they thought new york was going to be hot, vermont would be cooler in terms of law enforcement, and that a camp in vermont might be a better place to be than new york. >> those developments come as a spotlight continues to shine on joyce mitchell a prison employee and so called person of interest in the investigation wednesday. here's miguel with more. >> in a show of force and fire power, the search for david sweat and richard matt going door to door. this is joyce mitchell civilian employee who worked at the prison tailor shop.

police say there's no metal detectors here. even duffle bags are allowed in and out unchecked. inmates are at times left unattended. >> law enforcement staff notified me they had access for a month to the inner workings of the prison. >> they used power tools to escape and navigated cat walks and pipes. >> there's no way they could find their way to exit in one night with a maize of tunnels that lead in every different direction underneath the prison. >> 50 billboards in four states are up. the intense search growing, neighborhoods not far from the prison swept by s.w.a.t. teams. an hour south? willsboro, more tactical squads. >> the search is me thodthodicalmethodical.

>> they want to make sure people are safe not held hostage. >> this man is armed. 300 miles away police question sweat's mother. his sister tells us he stopped writing home two months ago. those that know matt say they live in fear. we spoke to matt's former accomplice, a convicted murderer that testified against matt in court. he wants identity concealed because he fears retaliation. >> there's no telling what kind of revenge he may want on people. this is a very psychotic individual. it's somebody that has no regard for human life. >> chilling stuff. our thanks to miguel for that report. in january, jeb bush launched the exploratory committee when it seemed he dominated the field. "the washington post" explores why that has not come to past. that led to this week's campaign

shake up and super pac falling short of predictions. some say efforts will hit the $1 million mark after all. the failed strategy kept people out. one says quote, the bushes have always underestimated the bases and they take it personally. tom coburn gave this prediction. >> his last name kills 47% of votes for him potential votes in this country. that's a big deal to get over. why would you run against that when you have tough rhetoric

against george w who i think was a great president who's still churning on the left side of the political perspective. why would you run against a candidate with 40%? >> in an interview at the clinton global initiative conference conference, bill addressed sponsors backing away from the clinton foundation and talked about whether he'd continue to take money for speeches. >> you can't be involved in american politics without someone attacking you. >> a tribute to my wife it a happened now. 90% of what anybody complained about now was known about when she ran before. no one went after the

foundation, at least not to this extent. one of my republican supporter who is has not yet been subject to public criticism called me the other day and said here's the message i get from this coverage. if i put my money in a tax shelter in the cayman islands and don't pay taxes, i'm a great man. if i give money to black box committees where you never have to reveal the contributor, i'll never get grief. if i publicly give money to you to help poor people there's something really wrong with me. >> would you still give paid speeches? >> would i still what? >> give paid speeches if your wife was in the white house. >> i don't think so. once you get to be president you're making a daily story. i will still give speeches though on the subjects i'm interested in. i enjoy those things. if anybody told me in 2001

people still want know come talk a, a , i would have been stunned. 450 additional troops prepare to head to iraq as part of the fight against isis. president obama approved the plan we told you about where military advisors help iraqi forces try to capture ramadi. they'll be sent to a new base. military advisors will speed up delivery of body armor, guns and other equipment to sunni fighters. ashton carter says this does not represent a change in mission since u.s. troops will not take part in combat on the ground. it will bring the total number to 3,500, far cry from peak level of 66,000 in '07. the chairman and house committee are are raising doubts as are other well known republicans. our training mission alone has

not been enough to slow down the spread of isil. more needs to be happening on the ground. we or our allies need to be playing the stronger role. but again, that's another tactical step. what's the overarching strategy that united states and our allies are going to employ to go out and stop the spread of this horrible disease. >> pulling our troops out leaving no one behind probably the worst decision so far of the 21st century. >> want to know why isil exists? he told you why. he doesn't have strategy for iraq. the the strategy should have been to leave behind substantial number of american soldiers who would have picked up a sis, isil, islamic nation whatever you want to call it at an early stage. and we would have been able to wipe them out at an early stage instead of letting the monster grow its head while the

president didn't have policy for iraq. this is like john kennedy saying i don't have a policy for soviet union. give me three years. the amtrak last month killed eight and injured 200. the engineer is cooperating with investigators although he suffered a concussion from the accident and doesn't recall events leading up to the crash. bostian immediately gave the pass code to his phone so investigators could search the records. there's no evidence of calls or texts. they're looking into apps that may have been active at the time of the crash. that a could take weeks or months to determine. the ntsb ruled out signal dysfunction, drug and alcohol intoxication and now calling and texting as potential causes for derailment. they're turning attention to

operator fatigue, vandalism and other sources of the crash. we're hearing an apology from the lawyer of eric casebolt the lawyer who has been criticized for actions breaking up a pool party. his attorney says when he arrived at party, he was under stress. he just responded to two suicide attempts. >> with all that happened that day, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. eric regrets his conduct portrayed him in his department in a negative light. he never intended to mistreat anyone but was only reacting to a situation and the challenges it presented. he apologizes to all who were offended. >> the lawyer goes on to say that casebolt has been receiving death threats and now in an undisclosed location.
