>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. i'm matt lauer. >> i'm savannah guthrie along side al roker and natalie morales. i'm excited about this underwater lab. they call it aquarius. what was kerry sanders doing there? >> he was preparing. >> oh, yeah. >> his mask. he is not the guy that's going to try to set a record. he's going to be the guy that shows us. >> regulator. >> he's very regular right now. >> sometimes irregular. >> anyway, we'll check in with kerry a little later in the show. but we want to get right to our top story. >> it's the latest details on the troubled life of the man responsible for the mass killing at the navy yard on monday. officials don't yet know the motive here. they're getting a clearer picture of the events leading up

to it. nbc justice colonel correspondent pete williams has the update. good morning. >> good morning. they're finding evidence that aaron alexis was very recently losing his grip on reality. just last month he told police he feared for his safety because people were following him. >> reporter: police in newport, rhode island say they were so concerned about an account with aaron alexis last month they contacted authorities at a nearby naval station and gave them a copy of the report. it details how aaron alexis was hearing voices and tried changing hotels twice, but that did not help. people were following him using a microwave machine sending vibrations preventing him from sleeping. he worried the individuals were going to harm him. a short time later he sought treatment at a nearby va hospital while working as a military contractor. now members of congress are asking how alexis could have

gotten or kept the security clearance that allows him access to the navy yard given what is emerging about his mental health issues and brushes with the law. >> it's time to start at the bottom and revamp our background system, especially in our military, national intelligence, and military facilities. >> reporter: the navy says he was given a low level secret clearance in 2008, good for ten years. even though just four years earlier he was arrested in seattle for shooting the tiers tires of a car that was parked near his house. but nothing in his background prevented him from going to this virginia gun store last saturday and legally buying a police style shotgun like this that officials say he used in the shooting rampage. friends and former roommates in texas say they saw no indication of mental problems or signs he could turn so violent. >> i don't have the answers that people are looking for.

i can't explain it. >> reporter: the defense secretary has now ordersed a review of security and access at military facilities and president obama ordered an even broader look at security standards for all government contractors. thank you so much. don is the chief operating officer and former assistant special agent in charge of the new york fbi joint terrorism task force. good to see you. welcome back. >> thank you. >> you're hearing what we're hearing. about this guy's past, emotionally, in the law, in the military, what jumps out at you? >> first thing, i would want to start with his pre-employment background check. people in security know the best way to prevent work place violence is to try to weed people out like this before they even get hired. i would want to go back to when he got hired to see, what was done? was there a thorough background check done by the employer? this is before we start looking at the security clearance issues. >> were the right questions asked or were there privacy concerns? were some questions off limits?

>> that's the thing. in many states, in most states, an arrest record isn't even something you can get into until it's a conviction. the fast he was fact he was arrested and he used a weapon and shot into a neighbor's house or shot into the car that might not have come up. >> charges of insubordination, disorderly conduct, they considered him for dishonorable discharge but didn't give it to him. he had trouble with the law. the incidents where he discharged his firearm in anger at least once and he called police to say he was being followed by men using microwave machines to send vibrations through a wall. he then went to a va hospital and said i'm hearing voices. how does a guy like that get clearance or not lose his clearance. >> this was a guy always right on the verge. kind of operating in the margins. sick but not enough to get him kicked out of the system. >> is it possible that each

individual incident wasn't -- didn't rise to the level but no one took the time to read the sum of the parts? >> that's a possibility. i'm sure there's going to be a lot of people looking into what happened. i'd also want to say look at his background check. he was obviously given a security clearance and what was the scope of that clearance? was it just looking at open source data bases or did the company that conducted the clearance did they talk to people and family and former employers to say is there a history with this guy. tell us about him. what kind of person is he. >> here's a number that jumps out, 4.9 million people, contractors, military personnel, government employees have that kind of clearance. >> huge. >> that seems like a big number to me. should we be worried about it. >> it's a big number. it's a big industry. i know people involved that do these background checks. it's a very high volume kind of low margin operation. they want to do these things quickly and efficiently as

possible. but the goal is to get these potential employees online working as soon as possible. so are all the quality controls in place? you know, i guess this is what's going to be looking at -- what we'll be looking at as we review the situation here. >> don, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we'll take a turn now and go to natalie. you have the top stories of the morning. >> good morning, everyone. there's growing concern this morning in one parish in louisiana after a rare but deadly amoeba was found in the water supply. despite assurances the water is safe, some residences are not sure. nbc's katy tur is in chalmette, louisiana. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. the water is enough to make people nervous where the amoeba was found. some officials say the water is safe. jake was playing in a backyard

water slide when the water contaminated with the brain-eating amoeba went up his nose. days later, he was dead. it was the third death since 2011. the cdc says not to panic. >> this is a unique event. most people are never going to have to worry about this. >> reporter: erring on the side of caution, schools in st. bernard parish closed pools and water fountains. >> we don't want to hear it is safe or not safe. >> reporter: there have been 132 documented cases of the infection in the past 50 years in the u.s. the rare parasite enters the brain through the nose and destroys brain tissue. so far, there have only been two survivors. one of them is this 12-year-old of arkansas. there is no need to put down the water glass.

>> the blow-up pool in the yard, don't put your head over. the slip-and-slide, don't put your nose under. it is not about drinking the water. >> reporter: to be extra cautious, the parish is flushing out the water supply with extra chlorine. they will continue to do so for the next few weeks. natalie. >> thank you, katy. the effects of super storm sandy are being felt in new jersey. on tuesday, the investigators blamed the boardwalk fire on electrical wiring damaged by sandy last october. they warn similar dangers may be underneath other boardwalks, homes and businesses that were damaged by flood waters. wall street is moving the markets. jackie deangelis has the latest. >> the market is a bit tentative on the economic policy and briefing from the federal reserve. inve

investors are expecting the fed to reduce the stimulus program. that would be an indication that the economy is improving and doesn't need as much support. also key is commentary on interest rates which has been low and if the fed might consider raising rates anytime soon. >> jackie, thank you. a close call for a commuter in australia who narrowly escaped as he walked in front of a moving train after ignoring the warning bells and arms. he was fined more than $2,000. another close call for a man who slept all night long. didn't know that this guy was under his bed in zimbabwe. the eight-foot crocodile was inches away from his feet. it was caught and released in the wild far away. he may want to sleep with one eye open from now on. how not to slide into second base.

jonathan vallas tried to stretch a single into a double against the reds. he went cheek-to-cheek. >> how many angle does we have? >> so many. right into the back side of brandon phillips. it was more uncomfortable. the butt of all jokes. did you say they were cheek-to-cheek? >> cheek-to-cheek. >> was he safe? what was the call? >> he doesn't want to be. >> he is safe, but he can never go home. >> oh, imagine that. >> thank you, natalie. >> i don't know how al can get through the weather forecast. i have to tell you, l len berman has a new opening. we have been talking about the flooding in colorado, but also mexico has really been dealing with this high water.

viewer that. i don't know if i'd go far but my wife would push me away. there's something primal about this thing. urge and need to protect our kids. when they're in jeopardy and the police are saying calm down and let us do our job. it goes beyond reason. >> it gave me a different perspective to so many of the stories we covered of missing children because you play it out with all the emotions in front of everyone. >> everyone sees like the press conference the parents does and they're often encouraged to do that. i did a lot of research into it. i spoke to couples and it is literally maddening for many of them and even when they find their kids. no one sleeps. everyone is in this state of desperation and it changes people forever. >> but you're obviously getting really meaty roles right now. you want to stay acting for a long time. you wouldn't want to leave your end of the business to do anything else right now?

i like these as well. we is jennifer briggs. she is here to pitch her invention. have at it. >> whoa. >> go ahead. this prevents clogs in the bathtub or shower drain. this is a world problem right matt, right al? >> not so much. >> all you do is thread the drain wig through the top cover of any standing shower drain or bathtub. leave it in one to three months and you put it right out and throw it in the trash where it belongs. it gives you piece of mind knowing your drains are protected. >> you have your mouth hanging open. >> these are one of the things you're embarrassed to buy for yourself but if you ship it in a plain brown wrapper that's great. it's an incredible product. >> it looks to me that you never

have to touch any drain hair. >> you don't. >> i'm sold. love that. >> and the whole thing goes in the garbage. >> the whole thing is disposable. >> that's fantastic. okay. jennifer, thank you very much. >> next we have a team of inventors. stephanie and heidi. their product is called links. ladies. >> it's this gorgeous necklace, great fashion accessory but when you're in a dark restaurant and need to read the menu, you open them and take a look at your menu or close it up and still look great. or at the department store you can't be fumbling around in your purse and carrying bags. it's always right there. do it one handed. super easy it goes right back together and it's fashionable. it doesn't mess with your outfit. it's not a head band on your hair. it's not tucked into your dress. >> fantastic. >> think opera glasses.

>> you're looking sheik, beautiful, young. >> from the fashion side of things. >> i think it's nice. i like kind of the tooling of everything. how long did that take to develop. >> we have been working on this for well over six years and you're right, that was the most important part, getting it right. so the weight so it's not too heavy. >> delicate. >> is it different designs or just the circle design? >> no, we have different designs, a tear drop design and circle design and more in the future. >> and different settings? >> powers. >> yeah, powers. >> hey, i'm mr. peanut. >> they look good. >> really good. >> we are working on a men's version al but it won't be that. >> a men's version. >> more rhinestones. >> more rhinestones. >> and we made it long enough so you don't have to worry about

we are back account 8:47. judge judy scheindlin needs no introduction. the next season of her popular show is in it's 18th season. take a look. >> is that correct. don't give me a but. you don't have a counter claim and so far you're not losing so why don't you keep your mouth

shut. >> and she is out with a book called what would judy say. a grown up guide to living together with benefits. this sounds interesting. >> 18 seasons. can you believe it. >> who believes that? >> has it just flown by? >> it has just flown by and when you can memorialize 18 years and i look at the bad hair day and the good hair day and -- you look back at 18 years and you say to yourself, that's a lifetime. our crew, who, you know, usually leaves shows after a year or two, things come and go and they ebb and flow. i have seen babies grown. kids getting married and retiring and getting social security. it's amazing. >> the full circle of life. i was curious, 18 years ago were the litigants that came into your courtroom different or the same? how have things changed? >> i don't know if behavior has changed.

the look has changed. the dress has changed. the piercings have changed. the tattoos have changed. what draws people in has changed. i don't think 20 years ago you would come to court with jeans with holes in them or shorts and flip flops. i think that society sort of softened up over the last 18 years but the problems remain the same. >> you know, they celebrated your 18 years with a flash mob. i think we can show some video. this is your crew and some people you work with all dressed in judge judy regalia. >> i looked closely and i didn't see you. care to explain? >> they didn't invite me. >> well, there they are. their trademark judge judy robes. have you tried to he solve the show? or is it why mess with what isn't broken? >> everyone year somebody says to me what's going to change this year and i listen to every other program, try to add something fresh and to keep it

alive. there's nothing else i can do. and why would you? you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. it seems to be doing fine and we just keep doing what we're doing. >> you have a long running show and longer running marriage. what's your secret to couples? >> i don't have a secret, actually. i think if you're lucky enough to have that thing that you can't quite put your finger on, i like to call it a mojo. if you have that good feeling, you can tolerate all the bad stuff. you know, you realize that you're better off as a couple than you are as a single. >> you have a lot of kids and 12 gra grandkids and you officiated your grandchild's wedding? >> yes, first grandson got married two weeks ago at our home in connecticut. and asked us to officiate at the wedding. so it was a real kick. they married all of our children, officiated the wedding for all of our children and this

was the first grandchild. you talk about 18 years, i remember the moment when he was born. i remember the moment that he was wheeled in front of us at the hospital, looking at him and saying to ourselves, how could you be a grandmother. >> well, it's amazing and he didn't wear any cutoff jeans and tattoos, right? >> he didn't and he doesn't. has scruff occasionally. >> it's the style. >> it's the style. >> congratulations on season 18. >> thanks. lovely to see you this morning. >> thank you. coming up, actress paula patton is back in our 9:00 hour. but first, this is "today" on nbc. ready?

the house is a terry cloth robe, the matching slippers he wore all the time. a private collector bought them from gandolfini in 2012. >> are you into that stuff. >> not me. but my husband did buy the david beckham soccer jersey and wears it around everywhere and i'm like you should probably put that in a shadow box or protect it. i don't want to wash the shirt. >> big bucks did he pay for that? >> it was at an auction. it was like $500. it wasn't much comparatively speaking. >> i've bid for things at auctions but i'm not a big memorabilia collector. i don't have anywhere to put it. >> i haven't bid on stuff but i got to interview my hero charles shults twice. once for the 50th anniversary of peanuts and again right before he passed. he signed a couple of original strips and did a couple of original drawings and signed them to my kids.

door. >> we saved the best for last. >> this is amazing. this is al's favorite piece of video. >> if you're listening -- come into your room, you have to watch this. >> it's painful, though. >> no it's not. >> it's painful. >> last year in the nfl we had the butt fumble from the new york jets. this morning from major league baseball we have the butt slide. this is last night's game. astros and cincinnati, bottom of the first -- >> oh. hello. >> the red's second baseman brandon phillips takes the throw and jonathan villar directly into the left cheek. >> he's out, right? >> he's in. >> oh. no. >> talk about getting a little behind in your work. >> are you sure we have shown that enough times? >> we need another angle. >> the angles of it. if they had only put that go pro in one other place. >> insult to injury as he was called out too.

her ex-boyfriends and sees if maybe there was something there. maybe she was too picky. so you see this 30-day travel of her trying to find ayman. >> you tap into something real, though that is when a older sister sees her younger sister moving through life before she does there's a little panic there. >> especially my family. my mom, marriage is everything. you're not a lady until you're married. you're not a real woman until you have children. very old fashioned but the great thing is is that through this journey montana breaks the mold and learns to love herself. >> well, speaking of marriage, let's talk about that little vma performance. >> did something go on there. >> a little miley cyrus, robin thicke action. was that planned. >> of course. >> it was going to go that way? >> they rehearsed for three days. robin told me in advance. i only looked at him. >> you didn't notice the big finger. >> i did but i don't know what
