i have to agree with you. audra buchanan thank you for joining me. david sweat is fighting for his life at the albany medical center in new york. his condition listed as critical. doctors are doing everything they can to keep him alive this morning. i m told he s talking a bit. obviously he s in the care of medical professionals, and their priority is to save his life. we hope he continues to talk. our investigators are keenly interested in what he might have to say. not only as it pertains to his escape and the department of corrections, of course would follow up on that. from my perspective, how he managed to elude capture for the last 23 days. now that fellow inmate richard matt is dead sweat is being guarded as even more critical to the investigation. let s bring in lawrence gone lynn ski. i m joined by matthew pham.
