is talking to authorities about his prison escape and the getaway plan that in the end failed. miguel almaguer has more on this. miguel good morning. >> reporter: as david sweat's condition improves from critical to serious, he's speaking to investigators. the governor says he's answering some lingering questions after more than three weeks on the run. shot twice and rushed to the hospital by those hunting him down cop killer david sweat says after his prison break with richard matt the dangerous duo planned to go to mexico. that according to the governor who says the convicts wanted to kill lyle mitchell his wife joyce mitchell was to be their alleged getaway driver. >> the plan was to head to mexico on the theory that mitchell was in love with one or both of them and they would go live happily ever after. >> reporter: after mitchell never showed matt and sweat started moving toward the canadian border on the run 23 days the pair had broken into

at least three cabins including this one 30 miles from the prison. last friday matt had been hiding out in this trailer before he was gunned down. two days later, sweat was shot just three miles from the border. the governor says he had a bag with maps tools, bug repellent and pop-starts. cuomo says the pair split last week. >> sweat felt matt was slowing him down. >> reporter: with joyce mitchell accused of smuggling tools in to aid in the escape gene palmer was back in court after pleading not guilty to charges. the d.a. says sweat is only implicated joyce mitchell. >> he told investigators that it was mitchell he and matt. >> he still wants her to come home at some point in time.

>> reporter: david sweat is expected to spend several more days here at the hospital. during that time investigators say they'll have more questions and for now he is talking. >> miguel thank you so much. lisa bloom is "today's" legal analyst. good morning to you. david sweat is spilling the beans. this isn't one of those situations where you talk to investigators and hope to get a reduced sentence. he's going to jail forever. how can he help himself by talking to authorities and cooperating? >> he's already serving a life sentence. so even with these additional charges, he's still going to be serving a life sentence. it's all about privileges. gone are the television the hot plate, working in the tailer shop. if he wants to get any privileges back and wants to get out of administrative segregation, he has a little to work with. >> how long can they keep a prisoner in solitary confinement. >> they want to keep him there five years. we keep them there for long

periods of time here. >> what kind of information do you hope to get out of him? >> the most important thing is what other prison authorities, if any, are implicated in this plot. was it just joyce mitchell and one other person who says he was unaware he was helping or were there more? that's the most important question. >> you mentioned privileges and honor block and he had a sweet deal inside that prison before this happened. is there a chance he could see the inside of that kind of thing again, an honor block? you're a prior escapee. could that happen? >> it seems unlikely. maybe a decade or two decades from now because prison authorities have to have something to work with. they have to incentivize people to have good behavior. what else can authorities use to get people to behave behind bars. >> always good to have you. matt over to you. to the financial crisis in greece and its impact on your bottom line. the images out of athens are reminiscent of the great

depression in this country. long lines at banks, strict limits on withdraws now in place. the country headed toward default on a massive debt payment due today. on monday it added up to the worst day of the year for u.s. stocks. jim cramer is host of cnbc's "mad money." good morning to you. the greeks are deeply in debt. they owe $1.5 billion payment due today. they can't make that payment. what's the immediate impact? >> we saw that yesterday. we saw european markets down. ours down 2%. unknown will drive markets lower. >> can you explain in layman's terms why the dow drops 350 points because of the problems in greece? seems like a world away. what is the connection? >> 27 out of 30 stocks in the dow jones average have business in europe. europe will slow down because of this. makes sense they went down. >> do you expect it to go down further because there's a huge vote coming up in greece whether

they accept bailout conditions of these three central banks or say we're out of the eurozone and we're going on our own. >> if they can't pay the money, this he don't belong in that union. what i care about is that the market go down a bit so we can buy. wait for pull back. when you get the pull back you don't say i'm scared. >> you make a real point of this. you say when you see a drop like the one we saw yesterday, view it as an opportunity for the average investor. >> if it were here and if the problem were pennsylvania new jersey new mexico texas, we would be saying whoa. it's greece. >> let's come closer to home. governor of puerto rico said on sunday that island commonwealth cannot afford to pay some $72 billion in debt. how's that going to play out? >> now that's a problem. that's a problem because a lot of your mutual funds are getting hit. i would be careful there.

i think the puerto rico will have to cut debt dramatically. if you owe those bonds, you're in for a world of hurt for years. >> has the stock market taken that into consideration or is that still to come? >> i hope for a 1.5% pull back. i'm in cash. that doesn't do anything. >> jim, as always thanks very much. you can catch him on cnbc's "mad money" at 6:00 eastern on cnbc. we'll move to politics. chris christie formally launching his presidential campaign later this morning. he will enter the race as an underdog. kelly o'donnell is in livingston new jersey, for the big announcement. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. one of the most well known republican governors in the country but with a much more narrow path to victory in the gop nomination but today the chris christie logo is up here in livingston high school gym. they're setting up the round

stage he'll use. no teleprompter. no prepared remarks. he'll be talking to longtime friends and supporters here in the high school gym where he was a student back in 1980. this will be a campaign about chris christie his personality, his modest background and it won't be so much about ideology. it will be the force of chris christie. like him or don't like him. and advisers do acknowledge it's been harder to raise money. he has suffered poll ratings that have tumbled in the wake of the bridge lane closure scandal. they think he can be a more interesting and compelling candidate in this race. more interesting than some other republicans in the field. he will go right from here to new jersey to new hampshire where they say his ability to take voters' questions and weather the national media spotlight will serve him well in new hampshire, a place where that will count. so despite his diminished standing they think his formidable personal skills will make it work for chris christie

and make him part of the race or a force in the race at least to start out. savannah? >> kelly o'donnell, like so many candidates he hopes to get on that debate stage and could change his fortunes. you're headed to livingston new jersey today. >> i'll go after the show and spend time with governor christie before he takes the stage and after his announcement i'll sit down with him for his post-announcement interview. you can see that tonight on "nbc nightly news with lester holt." a military plane crashed in a residential area in indonesia today killing at least 37 people. now part of the wreckage slammed into a hotel. this happened in the country's third largest city. the c-130 transport plane crashed just two minutes after it took off from an air force base. an indonesian air force officer said the pilot radioed he was returning to land because of

gambling client two sources told "outside the lines" that client is mickelson. mickelson has not been charged with a crime and is not under investigation. >> under federal law it is only the operators of gambling businesses that can be charged. they focus on those who operate the gambling business and not those who are customers and for that reason mickelson escapes any charges on what we know so far. >> mickelson has long been a fan favorite on the course and family man above all else even suspending his play schedule after his wife amy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. according to "forbes," mickelson has made more than $77 million on the pga tour and raked in more than 40$40 million a year in endorsements. a representative for mickelson declined comment. it's not the first allegation in

7:39 with a new series call "under covered" where you tell us about stories you feel are not being covered. a tragic mass shooting in charleston has renewed questions about gun control and gun culture in this country so we sent msnbc ronan farrow out to meet the new face of gun ownership. interested to hear about this. good morning. >> good to be here. it's interesting, matt. here's the thing. the past few weeks have reminded us again and again of the devastating toll of gun violence for so many under this country. it's not entirely surprising that for this first installment of "under covered" a lot of you had questions about guns. gun owners are predominantly white, male and over the age of 55. what about the next generation of gun owners coming up? well i went and talked to them.

houston, texas, on a friday night. what brought you guys here tonight? >> a date night. >> come here and you meet people and you talk and it's better than going out and having a drink on a friday night. >> exit 755 just off the i-10. the athena gun club mistaken initially for an apple store. all kinds of young people line up to shoot. obliterating targets in video game simulators and blowing holes in stereotypes about what a gun owner looks like. >> from my cold dead hands. >> what's your message to the person who is out there who thinks it's just old white guys. >> it's not. look at me. it's not. >> some call it guns 2.0. a new generation young, diverse and flourishing on facebook and youtube.

>> it's everything millennials claim they want. >> kristen joy weiss, hundreds of thousands of views. >> got it. >> according to one survey gun ownership is on decline among the young. >> i can say specifically for my channel, my range of ages my demographics is between 18 and 35. that's my main group. >> either data is skewed or or we're moving to metropolitan areas where it's less practical to own a weapon but the desire is still there. >> i met up with a group of young owners at the best of the west. a popular shooting range outside austin where the sound of gunfire rarely lets up. >> the older generation are introduced out of necessity but

for us it's something we found out on our own watching a youtube video or playing a video game. >> i love video games and i love shooter games but what really interested me wasn't necessarily hitting a target. it was figuring out how they work. >> when you hit a target it's almost like a video game response. you see something happen. i think that's exciting. >> it's a generation shaped by headlines about mass shooting but not in the ways you might expect. >> it really underscored in my mind that shooting is actually a martial art and with any martial art it can be an art form teach focus and discipline but on the other side it can be used for evil in the wrong hands. >> what do you say to people who say karate can't wipe out of a whole school of children? >> karate may not save a school full of children but a responsible person with a gun could save the school. >> not everyone agrees but

before you judge, get to know them. >> we're passionate. we're connected. we're welcoming. and you're welcome to come to the range with us and just shoot. let's try it. >> these young people acknowledge the dangers of gun violence but they are passionate about their beliefs and their generation is overlooked a lot. >> when you talk about passionate about beliefs, are they looking at it from the constitutional side or coolness side? >> what makes it interesting is many don't think of this in political terms to the extent you would expect but the thing is with the amount of gun violence in this country, it's inevitabley political. >> we said the idea behind this series is to let people tell us what stories they want to see covered more often. what do we have next? >> the power of the crowd. viewers gave us a ton of suggestions. we narrowed it down to three favorites. rooftopers is one you suggested.

disease every day. they turned to the alzheimer's association for help and shared their stories with us. >> i was on my way to the doctor's office. a route i had taken many times before. i got lost. i panicked. i moved to the side of the road. i called my wife. she calmed me down and gave me information to put into my gps. i was only a half mile away from my doctor's office. after going through the tests, i was diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. i was devastated. i thought of what i would miss. grandchildren. walking my daughter down the aisle. missing my son's graduation. missing the years to come with my wife. my pity party didn't last long. i knew i would do whatever i could for as long as i could to stay healthy in mind and body and today i advocate for greater awareness of the disease. i still have my pity parties every now and then but i don't allow them to last long. instead, i just repeat to

myself, i have alzheimer's but it doesn't have me. >> i was 52 years old when i was diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. two years prior i had suffered a number of seizures during a weekend ski trip and over the next month i noticed a gradual decline in my ability to remember every-day things. when i was finally diagnosed i was scared and unsure of what life would look like in the future. i often forget names of longtime friends and have trouble finding things around the house and i had to retire as a physical therapist. i want to tell my stories to let others know suffering from the disease they are not alone. >> those are just a couple of stories from estimated 5.3 million americans who are battling alzheimer's disease. a number expected to reach nearly 14 million by the year 2050.

>> here with important warning signs and tips to keep your brain healthy is dr. natalie. as we saw in brian and nancy's story, so often we think of it as an older persons interest. i lost my mother-in-law. she was diagnosed at 53 years old. we lost her after a 17-year battle with alzheimer's. this can happen to younger people, too. >> the majority of people diagnosed are over the age of 65. the 5% can affect younger people in 40s and 50s. the changes in the brain can start happening 20 years before the earliest symptoms. it's a disease that does and can afflict younger people. >> can we look to some of the warning signs? these come from alzheimer's association starting with memory loss that disrupts your daily life. >> memory loss is one of the most common and frequent early symptoms. this is not something really important to remember it's

recent memory. so what characteristically people will say is they can remember very vivid details from their childhood but it's that recent memory. that short-term memory they have difficult with. they'll be repeating themselves often asking for help and relying on devices to remember things they normally wouldn't have divvyfficultvvyfficultdifficulty with. >> he got lost going home. >> doing things that you're used to. driving to a place you have gone to many years, and you get lost. a classic symptom. >> if we look at things we can do to prevent. talk about loving your brain. what are some of those? >> i think two words to think about are be strategic and give your brain something challenging. we're talking about jigsaw puzzles and doing art. keeping yourself engaged with

other people. doing things to stimulate the brain constantly. there's this idea that people with higher education perhaps have a lower instance of dementia and i think this is important to get out to middle-aged people. go back to school. it doesn't correlate with how far you got when you were in your early 20s. try to be engaging and learning and rewiring your brain. your brain is an active muscle. if you don't use it, you can lose it. i should say this. these are all things that can help to to allay the symptoms but we don't have evidence it would slow down or prevent the disease. >> great information. we have more information on our website. head to today.com. alzheimer's association is great resource as well. easton corbin performs his we live in a pick and choose world. choose choose choose. but at bedtime? ...why settle for this? enter sleep number... don't miss the

hoda, you were so dear to come by. they adopted nabjot and they are just precious, precious people. they -- she has always worked with special needs children. he travels quite a bit and they have taken care of another child for 19 years and lost that child and then they -- these are the people the unsung heroes in the world. and she's the happiest isn't she? >> by the way, they are the most joyful couple. you know all the things we complain and moan about this? this couple is so happy you want to be them. >> she doesn't even -- she didn't say a word because she's not capable of it but the joy in her demeanor and her eyes. >> she understands everything going on. >> and boy does she like cheesecake. >> yes, she does. >> and last night you went -- >> joel and i went to see a concert in central park. and if you ever come to new york and you can see an outdoor special, go. >> it's special. >> ingrid michaelson who is a fantastic singer was singing at the summer stage last night.

she sings this song. any bay anyway, 5,000 plus people the night was gorgeous the moon was out, the people were singing. i took a video, let's see how it turned out. not great, i'm sure. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> somebody had a vip seat. >> i was on the side! but you mow what was so great too? she gave a shoutout to her dad who was sitting on the side. she goes "dad doesn't even know the words to any of these songs." i took a photo with him. he's such a sweet man. it was such a family affair. >> she recently lost her mom. >> she's raising money for the staten island museum. so hats off to her. it was a fun, fun, night. >> oh good good. the annual "forbes" celebrity 100 list is out and we're not on

it. guess no is on the cover. the number-one earner last year. katy perry. poor baby, she only made $135 million. >> oh, my gosh, that's so sad. if you wondered who was number one and number, two both boxers. floyd mayweather earned $3 million and manny pacquiao. and one direction has to divi up $130 million. >> they have to split i but only three not four. >> tied for eight was taylor swift and robert downey, jr., both made $80 million. >> and taeylor next year will be on top because she's on tour again. we always wait for this moment. especially on tuesday because what's better than bachelorette in a nutnutshell. amanda? what happened? >> the doozy last night. so i'm calling it the show was all about wining and crying.

there was no fun, nothing right. >> not our kind of wining. like whining. >> right. so there's nine guys left but the show is about these two guy, nick and sean, a love triangle. so let's talk about nick first. nick cried. >> why? >> he's the one that got intimate with kaitlin. he's worried kaitlin regrets that night and she keeps saying "don't tell the guys about it don't tell the guys about it." there was a breakdown. >> wait a minute, he's really -- do you see tears? are you sure? >> i rewound. there was tears. >> they're friends. >> but when you love someone and they're crying, you get emotional. >> how can they love someone? >> i'm saying she doesn't -- he wiped it. >> and look at her. dead pan. >> so anyway, there's also sean. sean's been the front runner from the beginning. >> i like sean. >> i like sean. he looks like ryan gosling, the fans like him. he's having difficulties because

it seems last week kaitlin pulled him aside and said he was the one. he believes it. there's nine guys left. he's having some difficulty believing he's the one when she's making out with everybody. >> i wonder why. >> he confronted herb last eded her last night. take a look at the confrontation. >> i'm worried that sean knows what's happened with nick and i don't know what's going to happen but i'm just mentally preparing myself for anything. i feel awful right now. >> when you looked me in the eyes and you say "i think you're the one" it's tough. what's wrong? you all right? you need a hug? >> part of me is so relieved

when i realized that sean's not here to talk about nick that he's here to talk about us and what happened between us in san antonio. but i really made a mess of things. >> yes, dear you did. >> so he doesn't even know she slept with him. and when he does -- >> please talk about one more bit of crying. very important. >> at the end of the show she let go of this guy chris a.k.a. cupcake is what they call him, don't ask why. >> i can tell why. >> she ditched him on a hill in ireland. it did not go well. take a look. >> it was a cliff. >> yeah, a cliff. >> it's okay. [ sobbing ] i didn't think i was going to cry. [ laughter ] >> that's the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with. >> i told you a lot of crying. poor chris. i think chris is a sincere guy but she's already getting

intimate with other people. like -- >> wait, what just happened on that clip? that was horrifying. >> he might as well just jump. there's obviously no life he can possibly have that would be as meaningful as a relationship with her. [ laughter ] >> amanda -- >> i love you and i love that you like believe this stuff. i love that about younchts it's real. 100% real. >> we are a doomed civilization if it's real. >> oh, my god the apology is already rolling. >> don't apologize for me. take that down. no, no. >> run it run it. >> it's not a sincere one. >> exactly. >> this is fascinating. >> there's a controversy in a magazine. this was title "i made a huge sacrifice to buy any dream home." it doesn't sound controversial until you hear what she means. >> she's a mother of two.

he said she sacrificed having her third child so she and her family could buy their fully loaded luxury dream home. the article starts with this "we built a luxury dream home but can only afford to have two children. most people don't once this statement." in order to have a third child, she'd have to return to work and they'd have to give up their timeshare but she said her uterus aches for a third child so she's basically saying that financially they would not be able to live -- they could probably afford it, they just couldn't live the life they're currently living. it upset readers. one reader wrote "you and your husband made conscious choice to put material well-being first. but don't act like it was an incredible sacrifice." another wrote "it's a poor little me story that smacks of utter selfishness, spare the thought for the women who can't have children." >> i think those are separate issues. i think what -- first of all, they have choice, the right to

make whatever choices they want. and if she's going to write an article like this that does touch sender places in people she's going to get this reaction. but a poor choice of words, sacrifice. they had -- they're blessed is what they are. the one good thing about it hoda, that i would say is that a lot of people don't realize before they have children how expensive they are and if you can't afford and you're in a position to choose or not choose to have children i think it's smart to make your priorities in all of that. it does come off like "we have all of this but it's not enough." and not knowing the people

you're not in school, you're not doing anything. >> it has to be a legitimate

one? >> it has to be one that has not expired. >> that wasn't my question. >> comedian and actress rachel harris just got married. >> and remember we want to give it away so go online. we'll catch up with rachel in just a moment. brandon thinks hellmann's is heaven in a jar. come to think of it, brandon, there is a little slice of heaven in every jar. that's because our ingredients come from places like... pleasantville, iowa! and farmers committed to responsibly sourced oils... blended with ingredients like cage-free eggs. we're talkin' real ingredients.

tell us why you got involved with this. >> the reason i got involved is because -- and i want other people to know about it. it was because of my work with water keeper alliance. and what that means is -- water keeper alliance makes sure our waterways are clean so we can do fun things like this july 4, go surfing, swimming, have drinkable, fishable water, right? and so that topic can get heavy sometime, right? oh, oh, and you're like -- cell phone. >> keep it down, everybody. >> so it can get heavy. >> but does it have to do with everything happening in l.a. with the terrible drought and all that? >> yeah. we want to bring awareness about all of that which is that if we don't clean water we have nothing. so water keeper alliance does that for us. so you know, like i said it can get heavy so we wanted to have people come in that were friends of mine. we had great producers from kids at play that produced all the

segments for us and we wanted people to laugh and think. because i turn on the fuse at night and i get very -- >> depressed. >> it's hard to watch. so i thought why not make people laugh and understand that we want to have clean water. there's tarren and bobby rapping. >> that's unfortunate.
