turning now to the obama administration's controversial nuclear deal with iran. chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press" and joins us this morning. good morning. those comments are going to make hardliners in iran very happy. congress probably not so much. what's the reaction and how will this play out on capitol hill once lawmakers return from recess? >> a comment like that is also -- allows for an "i told you so" from the netanyahuen's of the world and congress that doing any deal with iran is a mistake. in threatening that it means, hey, they always wanted to pursue a bomb and all they'll do now is delay that pursuit. that's part of the conversation this morning i'll have with the israeli prime minister on this front. i think president obama's main goal he'll have a majority that opposes him in congress.

the question is -- is it such a majority it can actually undermine the ability of the u.s. to do the deal. president obama's challenge as it has been for the last year on iran is to delay democratic opposition say, hey, give me time to at least start the implementation to see how it goes. and i think that's then a successful political game plan so far and it is probably the one the white house will pursue. >> is part of that force to get the agreement done with iran is part of that a desire by the president to leave a lasting legacy in foreign policy as he enters the homestretch of his last term? >> it could be a legacy when it comes to iran. candidate obama said he wanted to have open dialogues with rogue nations. well now, he can say i've opened the dialogue with iran. i've opened the dialogue with cuba. i've opened a dialogue with myanmar or burma.

and so yes, i think the president does view this somewhat as a legacy issue. but, whether it's successful we're not going to know for a decade whether this is a good legacy or bad legacy. >> chuck, i have one quick question for you before we go. i know you are a big sports fan. wisconsin or duke? >> well look. >> no chuck. quick! >> i stayed up too late watching that game. i'm pulling for wisconsin. >> go badgers! >> to pave the way for another coach k victory. by bo but bo ryan that guy deserves his first title. >> way to go, chuck. that was really slick by the way. >> i'm just going to eat up time. >> we he will catch more of chuck this morning on "meet the press." israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be his guest. >> historically chuck does much better in his picks.

understand his motivation. but that might not be forthcoming and he is under no obligation to come forward. >> reporter: defense lawyers have claimed it was his older brother who took the major steps in preparing for the bombings. an fbi analyst revealed that when all the fragments of the two marathon bombs were inspected, 500 pieces in all, the only fingerprints ever found were tamerlan's. for now it is virtually certain the jury will find dzhokhar tsarnaev guilty. after a brief break, a second trial begins on the punishment. for today, pete williams nbc news boston. finally, video just released of britain's prince harry shows the royal getting into a legendary aircraft. he is a trained helicopter pilot. he went up in a world war ii era spitfire. the plane goes into a loop-loop. some people just love that thrill. >> yeah they do. if they can keep it down.

(vo) if you have type 2 diabetes you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise helps lower blood sugar.

januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. using januvia and a sulfonylurea or insulin together may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may perform blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed.

side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia today.

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.
