majority in congress who oppose him. the thing is is it a super majority? can it undermine the ability for the u.s. to implement the deal? president obama's challenge, as it has been for the last year on iran, is to delay democratic opposition. go to democrats who want to be against the deal and say, give me time to at least start the implementation to see how it goes. i think that's been a successful political game plan so far, and it's probably the one the white house will pursue. >> is part of this happening on the part of the president, as a desire to leave a lasting legacy in terms of foreign policy if he enters the homestretch of his last term? >> it could be a legacy when you look at iran. i can tell you what the president views, candidate obama wanted conversations with rogue nations. he can say, i've opened a dialogue with iran with cubea,

myanmar or burma. i think the president deals this somewhat as a legacy issue, but whether it's successful you know we're not going to know for a decade whether this is a good legacy or a bad legacy. >> chuck, i have one quick question before we go. you're a sports fan. wisconsin or duke? >> well -- >> quick. >> i'm sluggish this morning. i stayed up too late watching the game. i'm pulling for wisconsin. >> go badgers! >> it's paved the way for another coach k. victory. ryan he deserves his first title. >> thanks. that was quick, by the way. >> sorry. you know me. i'm going to eat up your time. >> you are. have a great time. >> taking up melvin's time. >> we'll catch more of chuck this morning on "meet the press." israeli prime minister benjamin

let's set the stage for you on this next one. you've dropped off in the middle of nowhere. you've got four days to make it 100 miles to safety. you game? >> for three friends, that has been a new reality for the past year in some of the world's most remote and most dangerous locations. >> you ready. >> i'm going to jump across this. . >> reporter: meet matt danny and blake. >> i'm up for things that no one has seen before.

>> reporter: they've gone off the beaten path for their new series on the animal planet "100 miles from nowhere." the three guys who are also best friends seek out the most extreme and remote placed on the planet. the catch -- in every episode they only have 100 days hun00 days to travel to their next destination. >> we're up 10,000 feet right now. >> your mom would not like this. >> reporter: racing against the clock and mother nature they face dehydration, fatigue and hypothermia. the three in their mid 30s have a totesle of lele of 11 children between them to. they understand the risks with be they just hope to inspire others along the way. >> matt and his buddies, danny and blake are here with us this morning. wow! >> yeah. >> wow. so here's the thing. you scale mountains. you ski in dangerous locations.

you're in canyons. but you guys all have day jobs too, as i understand it. correct? had. >> that's right. yeah i'm a teacher. >> i do software development. >> i'm a general contractor. >> how do you find time to do all this? >> we do. we have a lot of kids at home and wives that are waiting for us but we try to make any time we can to get out even for an hour or two each day. we try to get it. >> you mention your kids and two of your wives are in the studio. other one isn't here because another baby is on the way. but almost 11 kids between all of you. is it ever tough to say honey, i'm going to head out for four days on this super risky venture. see you when i get back. >> it is about to get a lot tougher for me. the newborn is going to be hard to make an excuse. but i think all of our wives kind of knew what they were marrying. so it kind of -- they've given us an allowance to go out and do this. but there is a delicate balance because you don't want to upset your wife. you have to play it by ear. >> the biggest way this series

seems different from others like it is that you guys shoot all of the video yourselves. goprocameras as i understand it. and little hand-held cameras as well? >> yeah. that's the best part about it. we all shoot at ourselves and it's -- it's fun because it just lets us be real and it is just us three. we can say or do whatever we want. there's no story set up. if we see a snake, we film it. we get tired, we sit down we eat lunch and no one's telling us to do this or that but we try to run 100 miles every single time. >> 100 miles. so as i understand it you have to get through a quarter of that every day to get your food. is that right? >> yeah. we start off the morning. we have basically a plan we're 18 to 25pending on whatever depending on the terrain. we have our box that we have to get through. we're starving. we run up to 10,000 calories a day. when we get there, we're

starving. whoever dropped off the box, whether by snow cat, helicopter or both we're able to get to this good food. sometimes there's pizza in there, hamburgers. we're not really trying to survive. it is not a survival show. it is like let's do as many miles as we can, see as much beautiful country as we can and then get to that box and eat as much food as we can. >> you said you hope this series inspires people to be adventurous in their 40s. >> that's exactly it. we just want people to get out and have a good time. there's so many bad things out in the world. let's celebrate something that's good and fun and guys hanging out and just get people out on the adventure. >> a lot of people don't flow -- like as they get older, they think i'm done that's all in the past. the 38-year-old person doesn't do this stuff. you kind of want to say, hey, you know what? you can still get out. >> thanks matt danny, and blake.
