we'll go live to wisconsin. also, election day in georgia. >> it all comes down to turnout, the work you are doing right now, is the most important work that's been done so far in this campaign. >> democrat john ossof trying to ride the seat of trumpism, can he go the distance? manhunt over. >> there was a short pursuit in which the vehicle was stopped as the officers approached the vehicle steve stephens took his own life. >> the search for the suspect is now over. what the police have learned about his motive and the unusual story of how they found him is still ahead. but we begin right now with our top story, we are barreling towards that first major mile marker in donald trump's presidency, the first 100 days. president trump is opening up his remarks this afternoon saying no administration accomplished more in the first 90 days than his and using majority of his remark to explain what he is going to do as president more than what he has done. and making america's workers first again. still on the docket, trump saying it's all in the works right now. >> we're about to take bold new steps to follow through on my pledge to buy american and hire american. with this action, we are sending a powerful signal to the world, we're going to defend our workers, protect our jobs and finally, put america first. >> joining meo i ron allen, live in kenosha, wisconsin, the president signed a new executive order today. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: katy, the essence of the executive order was again this notion of buy american, hire american first. there's some specifics about it but the broad message was as he said in his remarks that the united states plans to use every tool in its arsenal to protect and promote the american dream. the details of course are to come. what's also striking about his remarks as you sort of echoed or signaled is that he seems to be a president mindful he's coming up to the 100 day marker and how all of that will be perceived. i thought it interesting he talked about health care going back to that and said there had been progress made and we have to get it taken care of and he almost predicted there would be something new on that front. a maj are defeat for the president and republicans a few weeks ago and mentioned tax reform, something he'll move on to quickly and said that's in very good shape. of course, all of these -- this is of course how he felt very well how he talks in generalities but not a lot of details. most of this was a speech in red, white and blue, mindful of 100 day marker and rallying the base. this is wisconsin, the state he won, first republican since the 1980s to win the state. a real hometown crowd and an event that felt like a campaign rally as much as anything else. >> and president very mindful of his image. he also toured that factory. give us the response of workers there. were they accepting of this president? after all, wisconsin was narrow but helped put donald trump into the oval office? >> this is snap on tools, a name that's known across america. there are ten different factories in ten different states that makes tools and other products for automobile industry, aerospace industry, it's a very -- tries to portray itself as a very american company. world headquarters are in fact here. the president toured this place and gave them a big pat on the back saying this company represents of what he's trying to see ever everywhere in ameri. they made a point of bringing in students from vocational school nearby who have a connection to this company, showing how they are trying to bring the next generation along. something that the president also said was very important to try and hire up and do better for american workers and the president's world, president's view, american labor has been bite beaten down and his mission as he put it or his objective as he would put it is to basically level the playing field, to put america first and to again dare i say make america great again but that's what this was about. it was a president who was really trying to layout this in a very broadway how he feels the american worker has been beaten down and how he intends to bring the american worker back up. >> ron allen live in kenosha, thanks very much. for more on this. let's bring in our panel, senior adviser and national spokesperson for moveon.org and ashley parker for the "washington post." ashley, donald trump is clearly aware of his image and this 100 day marker. what do you make of this tour of this wisconsin factory and this signing of an executive order that is intended to protect american jobs in such a public way? >> i mean, i think exactly what you said is correct. he is very aware of his image and he's privately very upset that he doesn't have a ton of legislative achievement to show heading into this marker. he did of course help muscle through neil gorsuch and the importance of that can't be overstated. but in going to wisconsin, these executive orders do do something. president obama used executive orders very succefully but they are sort of -- they have a little less teeth and it's more of a way of trump reminding people of the campaign promises he made even if he hasn't made good on them legislatively, which is the real way to enshrine something. as you know from covering him, he loves the adulation of crowds and he loves returning to the places where he won in doing these rallies that buoy him emotionally. >> promises made, promises kept. if he's going out and signing executive orders and says jobs, jobs, jobs over and over again, ashley, in your estimation that enough to keep his base of support happy? >> well, yes and no. i think it's certainly good rhetoric. it's what they want to hear but at a certain point he'll have to produce results. one thing that's interesting about for instance the hire american part of this executive order is that a bit of that actually applies to h1b visas, high skilled visas that the tech community cares about, making sure those aren't necessarily doing an overview and not necessarily filled by workers with green cards and filled by american workers. that's a valuable thing but that is not going to apply to these workers at the factory he just toured in wisconsin. at a certain point you're right, he has to keep promises to these specific people. >> how many is he battling hypocrisy since his clothing is still made overseas and mar-a-lago is em employing overseas worker and ivanka, not technically a part of her business, is still making most of her clothes overseas. >> that's certainly an issue for him. again, it sort of remains to be seen if and when voters will care about that. we both remember from the campaign trail when that would come up, then candidate trump would say, well, you know, what am i supposed to do. i need a good deal and you get good deals overseas. i think the goal of this is to ensure the good deals are here. but i do think you're right at a certain point if there is a disconnect between his rhetoric and actions, especially in a way that voters feel in their pocketbook, they are going to start caring more and morehypoc >> how frustrating is it when political gravity or rules don't apply to donald trump and say he wants to create jobs and american manufacturers will be punished unless they keep jobs here and at the same time still make his clothing overseas. is it frustrating and if it is, i assume it is, how do you combat that? >> well, i think it's starting to affect donald trump i would argue. we've seen rhetoric and h hypocrisy and first 100 days have been pretty unsuccessful. under fbi investigation, as we were talking about he has no legislative accomplishments really and both of the muslim bans have been stopped by the courts and trump care couldn't get through. this is why he's out in wisconsin. there's nothing that he hasn't been able to govern. now what we're seeing in these two special elections we see kind of the energy of the resistance manifesting into the ballot box. these are deep red states that democrats are actually competing in, which is bizarre. and weird. but this says a lot about the referendum on donald trump that we see and especially in georgia and we have the potential for democrat in this election in georgia 6 to get the most votes tonight. >> let's talk about georgia 6, the other big political story of the day and voters are at the poll right now in a district north of atlanta for a special electi election. john ossoff is the front-runner, unless he hits 50%, this will go to runoff. and the georgia 6 is a long held republican district, his college educated white suburban voters aren't so friendly to trump style politics. kasie, we've been asking what will happen if he doesn't hit the marker and what the runoff will look like. there are five or six republicans polling at about 1% in the district. if this does go to a runoff, how likely is it that there will be -- that voters will coalesce around one republican candidate, especially since they haven't done so now? >> well, right now they are facing a ballot that has 11 names on it with republican after their name. and there are some in the field that are better known than others, karen handel has been leading in what polling has been done in the race is somebody who has run for public office before she was secretary of state of georgia. she ran for senate. there's name i.d. there that might be helping her out. there's a handful of other candidates, judd son hill, dan moody, who are also people that i think national republicans in washington will look at and say we can get behind you and invest in you and come in i think probably all in for any one of those candidates, at this point it's unlikely that somebody else comes out as the potential challenger to john ossoff. and then as you mentioned, the question will be, how does that dynamic continue to play out? do people feel -- do democrats in particular or lo propennsylvaniapropens tn city voters, somebody who represents donald trump and maybe turned off voters in the district because they are tied to donald trump or if they continue to see them like they obviously with tom price, sent him back to the house, back in november, with more than 20% point advantage over the next challenger and trump only coming away with 1%. i was trying to find this out at the polls earlier today. how many voters like this are there? people who voted republican but who just are so turned off by donald trump that they've decided they are going to vote for democrats for the foreseeable future. look at what the voters had to say. >> who are you voting for? >> are you a democrat or republican? >> not really either. i'm not real happy with the way things are going in washington. >> we're voting for the republicans, thank god for trump. >> i know you don't want to hear that. >> no, i do. >> we need a balance. and i think that's what we've got now. we've got strong democrats we've got strong republicans and they can you s cuss at each other. >> a few interesting characters at the polls, but it was very mixed across the board. there were -- it seemed quite a few enthusiastic voters for ossoff and easier to find his voters than it was to find republicans. it may have been just been the precinct where we happened to be set up but that was kind of what i experienced and frankly the republican voters were very split among all of these candidates that we have been talking about. but as you know, at the end of the day these house races usually come down basically to party identification. so i do think whoever comes out, if we're looking at the runoff situation, it's still probably favors the republican in june when that runoff would happen over john ossoff. >> i love that guy, strong republicans and strong democrats who yell at each -- >> and curse at each other specifically. >> any idea when we get results on this race? >> at this point our political unit tell us that these counties here, that make up or a part of this sixth district counted very slowly in 2016 so we didn't have results until the early in the morning apparently. so we are preparing for something along those lines. hopefully because it's a special election, it's much smaller situation, we will know results a little bitter earlier. we'll get an indication whether it is possible for john ossoff to hit 50% early in the night. we'll get a sense there. if the independents really break for him, it could be a nail biter. >> i don't think they know you need to maximize your town down there and eat good food. atlanta has some of the best food in the country. i'm sorry for that, my friend. have a good night. let's go back to our guests. ashley, let's start with what president trump is trying to do to ensure a ossoff loss, been tweeting and robo calls? is this a double edge sword, he's in a bad place because people will blame him in he if he wins and if he does get in, he faces the prospect of mobilizing democrats and liberals and anybody who might be dissatisfied with the president so far? >> i think that's possible but if you look at the outside money pouring in to help john ossoff, they are already quite mobilized. i don't know they needed a tweet from the president or robo call to convince them this could be a compelling referendum on his presidency. in general he wants to back a winner or at least help get to a runoff to ultimately have a republican winner emerge. >> there are a ton ever candidates in the race. i believe it's 11 republicans and bob costa is calling the "washington post," fascinating article today about what's going on down there, including this paragraph. purdue has backed moody and gingrich sports hill and marco rubio former trump campaign adviser liewandowski but the conservative group for growth is boosting gray. there's a lot of different candidates, no one in the republican field is polling that well. given that, shouldn't the democrats have an easy time getting ossoff over 50%. if they don't, zntd that say more about ossoff that democrats are willing to admit? >> absolutely not. i think the mere fact this case is even competitive is i believe is a win. this early on, in donald trump's administration, it's less than 100 days, it's supposed to be pretty easy for him. supposed to be when he has his biggest wins and supposed to be a honeymoon periods and what he's dealing with is a special election that democrats should not be competitive in. we should not be getting potentially the most votes out of this election tonight and even if you look at kansas that is pretty remarkable to watch as well. the democrats lost by only 7 points where donald trump won the district by 27 points. i think there's a lot there. we see where the momentum and movement is and it's with the democrats and we're about a year away from the mid-term elections, this is a single that both sides need to pay attention to, especially republicans. >> one last topic, it's tax day. is the white house prepared to lose on tax reform because the democrats are going to stone wall the president because he has not released his own taxes? >> that is the key question. if you would ask me is the white house prepared or going to release donald trump's taxes i would say it's pretty clear absolutely not, no way. but i will say this message from the democrats, that they can't do tax reform. they can't even try to help because the president hasn't released his taxes and therefore we don't know what conflicts of interest he might have and carve-outs he might be getting. it's the most compelling and unified and politically savory, since trump came to office. that could prove tricky for the white house. >> this isn't just blocking him for the sake of blocking him, blocking him with a specific purpose and one only donald trump bears a responsibility for. not releasing taxes. ashley parker, wonderful to see your face. thank you guys. coming up, an end to the nationwide manhunt for the suspect accused of killing an elderly man and posting it on facebook. >> this is not the ideal outcome, we're pleased that no one from the community was harmed, including members of law enforcement. >> how a tip from a group of fast food workers helped police track down steve stephens before he ultimately took his own life. facebook founder's mark zuckerberg spoke publicly for first time, what he's saying about the killer's video and why it stayed up for two hours before it was removed. think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, 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. but we've got the get tdigital tools to help. now with xfinity's my account, you can figure things out easily, so you won't even have to call us. change your wifi password to something you can actually remember, instantly. add that premium channel, and watch the show everyone's talking about, tonight. and the bill you need to pay?

>> they don't have a lot of legal obligations in the sense it's not a crime for them to be a platform -- >> host the video of a crime -- >> not really no, this is such a gray area. a lot we're talking about is what they should do, not what they have to do. in the long term there's tremendous pressure to deal with this. what we're talking about in the criminalology, a performance crime. it's the spectacle of recording and sharing uploading crime to new media audiences. what was sort of a tense part of today's presentation is that mark zuckerberg described how they want to do more but went on in this presentation to press what they are calling this august meanted reality, more camera, more live, more video, which we know is a big part of the internet. here he was talking about that today as well. >> so today, we're going to start building this platform together. and we're going to make the camera the first mainstream august meanted reality platform. >> what augmented reality mean or doesn't mean is jargon, everyone understands it is a huge part of the social media platforms and it can be very interesting and very entertaining but also gives a tremendous amount of power to anyone who happens to be using the site and that includes criminals, traditional criminals don't want to be found. so they are not obviously pitting out evidence to catch them but there are disturbed individuals who seem incentivized by this. >> in past incidents, they have been applauded for allowing live video to be posted to their site because it raises awareness for crimes that might go under the radar or for instances that might go under the radar. certainly what happened where that man was shot by an officer after a traffic stop and his girlfriend filmed the whole thing and posted it live too facebook, that got a ton of attention that may not have gotten otherwise had it not been done live. so what sort of conundrum does facebook face, allowing things that might help the community and help raise awareness and also things that clearly are horrible and horrific and certainly problematic. >> i think it's a great question. conundrum is facebook wants to say it is a neutral platform, publisher or like a pipe. as they play a central role in the issued and culture and politics and law and order and safety, there are vast disagreements what is neutral. while one person may say it's very positive for citizens to be able to basically have their own surveillance or when you surveil the government and show what police or government officials are doing that's positive. the people the police community feel they are under a microsoft. they are caught in the middle. not easily solved and no agreement on what's neutral. the last point i would make, this isn't going away. if you look at the most common cyber crimes here the consumer and financial ones are the most common, 98,000. identity theft, 21,000 according to the fbi. but the crimes that have a social media component, crime plus social media, 19,000 and we fear as we look at the incidents, potentially growing. >> ari, save users just logging off of facebook and that would be hard to get so many people to do that, does congress have any obligation to impose a regulation on facebook? is that a possibility? >> it's certainly a possibility particularly for that thing i mentioned. are they a utility? do we see them as something more than a publisher? congress steers clear of telling tv and newspapers what to do. there's the first amendment congress should make no law. if it isn't journalism or media, if this is a utility, it may be easier to regulate constitutionally and raises the question at what point is it a public safety issue. maybe children shouldn't have that or fell ones with a history, maybe there ought to be software to determine when something might involve violence and they do a lot of stuff to make money, maybe they can find an algorithm that seems signs of violence is flagged or taken down. as we see in this instance, that may be used for criminal purpose that's no one wants to condone. >> we have standards to put in place before things get put on the air waves. i appreciate your time. thank you very much. president trump is drawing new criticism over a phone call he made to the turkish president. we'll talk about what he said and why it has become so controversial next. that had built his house out of straw. one day a big bad wolf huffed and he puffed and blew the house down. luckily the geico y had helpedhe pig with homeowners insurance. he had replacement cost coverage, so his house was rebuilt, good as new. the big bad wolf now has a job on a wind farm. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. whoa,i just had to push one button to join. it's like i'm in the office with you, even though i'm here. it's almost like the virtual reality of business communications. no, it's reality. intuitive one touch video conferencing is a reality. and now it's included at no additional cost with vonage business. call now and see why 3,000 companies a month are switching to vonage. business grade. people friendly. hei don't want one that's haded a big wreck just say, show me cars with no accidents reported find the cars you want, avoid the ones you don't plus you get a free carfax® report with every listing i like it start your used car search at carfax.com >> time for a check at the headlines, president trump is visiting wisconsin today to push his buy american hire american policy. he toured a tool factory in kenosha where he signed an executive order to promote buying of u.s. products and hiring of american workers. defense secretary james mattis is in saudi arabia. the first stop on a week-long tour of the middle east. mattis says the u.s. is focusing on trying to find a diplomatic solution in the war in yemen. in a surprise move, british prime minister theresa may called for a snap election in june, moving up the vote scheduled for 2020 may call for the vote to quiet political opponents trying to undermine talks about brexit, ncaa announced the first two rounds of basketball tournament will be back in north carolina. the college athletic's governing body moved this year's games out of the state because of the controversial bathroom bi. that legislation requiring transgender people to use bathrooms based on their birth certificate was repeeled earlier this month. former president barack obama was among those attending funeral services today for pittsburgh steelers owner and chairman dan rooney. current and former steelers players were also in attendance, rooney who served as u.s. ambassador to ireland during obama's first term died last thursday at the age of 84. back to politics now, new comments from the white house today on president trump's congratulations call to turkey. president won a controversial referendum there, it is being called into question by international watchdogs, that's not all they are saying. it dramatically expands his power in turkey inching him closer to authoritarian rule. trump never intended to encourage undemocratic activities and trump called his turkish counterpart to discuss working together on pressing issues facing the middle east. i want to bring in michael crowley. what do you make of the white house having to backtrack a little from the call today? >> well, i think they realize that they made a mistake here and there was a lot of blow back. you know, trump was really in the western world kind of out on a limb. i mean it's useful to contrast the read out of his call with erdogan with the statement from angela merkel in germany, a very qualified mixed statement that focused on how close the vote was and said erdogan has a responsibility to try to unite his country. he seemed to show no concern for the way the vote happened and what it represented more broadly. the white house is feeling heat on that. i would say at the end of the day, donald tmp has a long track record of rlly seeming almost to admire authoritarian tactics in other countries. i don't see trump himself changing even though the white house is back peddling a little bit right now. >> how complicated is this for the united states? obviously turkey is a country that a u.s. ally, helping nations fight isis but at the same time this election is currently pretty questionable. what sort of precarious ground does donald trump put him on if he were to go out and softly criticize this election? >> right, this is a problem that presidents have faced -- american presidents have facted tore decades, we would have allies against sof yen union with terrible human rights records. how much do you back a bad guy in a foreign country if they are on your side in a larger struggle? >> and donald trump is showing he's much more interested in showing whether another leader is on our side in the fight against isis, al qaeda, islamic radicalism, this is very much the post tour he has with the egyptian president sisi overseeing a breath taking crack down in egypt of historic proportions. rolled out the red carpet for him at the white house and said nothing publicly about human rights and democracy. the concern in the white house is if you try to make a fuss over democracy, i jeopardize the alliance that these people are offering us against terrorists. and different presidents find the balance their own way, barack obama really agonized over this. i'm not seeing donald trump wringing his hands about this choice. it's clear he chooses the -- >> what's the deal with the affinity towards strong men. he compliments putin and saddam hussein on his ability to fight terrorists and compliment eed k jong-un during the election. isn't doing it now. what's his deal with the affinity towards strong men, michael? >> katy, i think this is just part of who donald trump is. you came up with great examples and another one i like to remind people of, he said this a long time in an interview with "playboy", spoke of the chinese crackdown in tiananmen square in 1989. he over and over has talked about these authoritarian iron fisted tactics and admiring terms, he sort of admires the zee sisive tough exercise of power and thinks it's a kind of virtue in and of itself. many cases it horrifies a lot of other people. >> and positive the point there, donald trump isn't going to change. it's the white house that will try to clean the controversies up. michael crowley, we appreciate your time. >> after the failed missile launch this weekend in north korea, is the u.s. considering shooting down any future tests? according to a new report it's one of the options that has been presented to congress. i'll discuss it about the reporter who broke the story and why some experts ar warning against it. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. ♪ energy lives here. dobecause you've got ams lot of cheering to do! get fast sinus relief...with vicks sinex. and get your head back in the game. sinex. the congestion, pressure, pain to clear your head, medicine. remember when you said n are surioryeah... yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check?

i want to bring in spencer ackerman at the guardian. you broke the story. talk about what that would look like. >> sure thing. one thing my sources indicate is that the u.s. military is not considering using the powerful thad missile defense system, that would be too provoke tif to china worried about the radar being used as surveillance on them. instead it would look like ship based missile defense, using either u.s. or japanese ships to shoot down a missile. >> does that mean they would be living off the north korea coast? >> they don't necessarily have to live off the coast but they would be in potentially the sea of japan. they would be in particularly if it's japanese ships against the missile test, it would have to be the missile transiting over japanese waters. >> is donald trump more willing to say yes than predecessors. >> if seems if it's being briefed to congress it's in a fairly advanced stage where evious administrations have thought it wod bee isahlah tri. flush that out. >> the u.s. military and trump administration are looking for ways to punish the north koreans to indicate that they shouldn't take another step further whether it's anticipated nuclear test or long range missile tests. the trouble is, of course, if you take military action against north korea, they have the potential, capability, they have the intent to vaporize seoul, to viperize south korea. they have the world's largest concentration of artillery about 30 miles outside of seoul. and as well the consequences on japan are serious and nontrivial. previous administrations have sort of looked with frustration at being deterred by north korea itself. now the military is looking for ways that potentially could not start a war that could signature fi a stronger military stance but it's a gamble. >> what is the appetite for congress to do something like this? >> not pretty great. -- >> would they stop the president from doing it? >> probably not stop it. it depends how the scenario plays out. probably if you had a test shot down, congress would learn about that after the fact. it's a question whether it would then become a much larger con flagation, we might have problems like potentially thousands being wiped off the earth. >> spencer, bearer of bad news, appreciate your time and nice work reporting. still ahead, president trump touted the new buy american, hire american order. we'll take a closer look why he may need to start with his own family's brands. ♪ ♪ take on the mainstream. introducing nissan's new midnight edition. ♪ nosy neighbor with a glad bag, full of trash. what happens next?
