Announcer live in times square and rio de janeiro, this is Good Morning America. Good morning, lebron, good morning, america. What a night again for team usa again. The womens track team making history with that sweep in the 100meter hurdles. Such an amazing moment but the real star stealing the show the ultimate photo finish. Can i just say i need to up my game around here. You look stunning. King james is coming around. So thats what it is. And you, as well, david. First, we want to get to that other big headline out of rio that weve been talking about. A stunning turn of events. Two u. S. Swimmers pulled from a plane and detained facing questions after ryan lochte and his teammates said they were robbed at gunpoint. Abcs matt gutman is in rio and has the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, robin. Those swimmers looking stunned as they left the airport. Police station overnight. Were told theyll be questioned again by police about what happened the night they were partying with ryan lochte and the stakes here only getting higher. Brazilian police saying that they are keeping the door open to prosecuting all four men for providing false testimony. This morning, the two olympians who were with ryan lochte when they say they were robbed at gunpoint were supposed to be bound for the u. S. Instead, the swimmers having to here at rios airport. Were you guys robbed . Were you robbed . Was there a robbery . Reporter thats the question Brazilian Police are investigating. Suspicion growing that the 12time olympic medalist ryan lochte and a fourth swimmer jimmy feigen lied to authorities about the night they were allegedly mugged by men dressed as Police Officers. And the guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it, and put it to my forward and said get down and i was like, i put my hands up, whatever. Reporter the swimmers yanked you have the flight overnight. Jack conger and gunnar bentz had already cleared customs and bentz even posting this snapchat video of conger as they made their way to the plane questioned by brazilian authorities before being released. Their new brazilian attorney saying they was confusion and issued to search their rooms at the Olympic Village ordering the passports of lochte and james feigen confiscated on suspicion of providing false sworn statements to police. But abc news has learned lochte is already back on u. S. Soil, believed to have returned to his charlotte, north carolina, home while feigen remains here in brazil. Abc news has learned he is cooperating with police. The u. S. State Department Addressing the issue. We encourage all parties to work with brazilian Law Enforcement in their investigation of the incident. Would you want ryan lochtto go back to rio . Ultimately thats all for an american citizen we would never obviously require any american citizen to comply with those kinds of requests. Reporter according to the ruling, the judge also questioning the time line given by the supposed victims. And the demeanor of the men when they returned to the olympic dailymail. Com. The men appearing unfazed after what was supposed to be a harrowing armed robbery. Now, Brazilian Police telling us the men were so drunk when they gave their initial testimony they couldnt provide an accurate description of their assailants or even how many there were and ryan lochte overnight raising suspicion again by changing his story, at first telling olympic officials it didnt happen then coming up with a gun being cocked at his head then, now say it was being waved in their general direction. Well bring in dan abrams to help weigh in on what matt was saying. What do you make of judges orders about the athletes staying there and pulling two off the plane . Lets be clear. This is a politica investigation, right . If this were just some ordinary person who made a Police Report and they werent sure if it is true they wouldnt be pulling potential witnesses off a plane so this is a very important case in brazil, it was a huge embarrassment to them. Basically saying its a crime in brazil to file a fal Police Report, we want to investigate that. The question for me, though, is it seems as if its lochte and feigen who spoke to the police but the other two who were just pulled off the plane, i think, they want to question them so, here in the united states, you couldnt literally pull someone off of a plane, take their passports to away to be a potential witness in a case if the crime youre talking about is the possibility of filing a false Police Report. With lochte now back here in the u. S. , from a legal an brazilian authorities could say we want him to come back. I dont think theres any way that the u. S. Would extradite him over this sort of potential crime. I think according to his lawyer hes going to continue to help and assist in the investigation and he says hes going to be willing to continue to answer questions. Do you think any of the other swimmers could face charges . Well, look, feigen is the one i think is the biggest concern because it appears he spoke to the authorities. He is still in brazil and theyre really upset about this, back and make sure that this did or didnt happen. Thats the first question. Lets not presume that theyre not telling the truth. And that i think is going to be the most important question and theyre going to be a lot of diplomatic discussions about this in addition to legal ones. Yeah, still needs a lot of answers to this. All right, dan, thank you. Robin, we turn to that fastmoving wildfire raging out of control in california scorching more than 25,000 acres and destroying homes as more than a thousand firefighters now battle the blaze, the speed of this just been stunning. Meteorologist rob marciano has the latest from the front lines in San Bernardino county. Rob, good morning. Good morning, david. Its been an explosive fire. Quadrupling in size in less than 24 hours and this morning, it dcontinues to burn aggressively. The hillside burning. Specially equipped helicopters trying to beat back the flames so more homes arent burned. Overnight, raging infernos causing havoc across california. Devouring everything in their path. Shelter behind this building. Reporter look at this incredible timelapsed video showing the San Bernardino blue cut fire. Only 4 contained, burning just 60 miles from downtown los angeles. In my 40 years of fighting fire ive never seen a fire behavior so extreme. Reporter numerous homes incinerated. And this morning, more than 34,000 still in jeopardy. In san diego, this chopper landing on a highway taking firefighters to places inaccessible by foot contained. Hundreds of firefighters on the defensive as tripledigit temperatures and smoky winds take a toll on those battling the blaze. This fire just crawling up that hill throwing off incredible amounts of heat. Over 82,000 people forced to evacuate. Some main roads leading evacuees to safety engulfed in flames. This is nuts. We are standing on i15. The northbound lanes have been reopened after being shut down but if these flames get any closer they may rethink that situation. Red flag warnings are up today for low levels of humidity and gusty winds. Firefighters yesterday telling me that it was extremely difficult if you were out ahead of the fire there was almost nothing you could do. Its going to be another difficult day today. David. All right, rob, thanks so much. Of course, all eyes now on the weather and those conditions, right over to ginger. You were saying the heat, the winds will fuel this another day. That low humidity that rob mentioned, as low as 2 in parts of the valley. Incredible as far as how dry it is. Why we have that fire danger up. The heat is on actually from Northern California through parts of seattle. Were watching that. You cant turn more 180 than this. But look at louisiana still dealing with major issues. Thats sorrento that we saw first that flooded already and then theres an area, st. Johns because the flooding hasnt ended. Just because the big wash of water is over we still have the flood warnings back to lake charles along some rivers and i know you know this, robin, the rivers keep rising even though the rain isnt falling as heavily. So were still watching this. I know you are, ginger. Weve been watching the folks there and especially in lafayette how they have been coming out. The ragin cajun football team, came out and saw people in need and this is what you do down south, neighbor helping neighbor, but as you said, its far from over and people just have to keep those people in mind. We salute everyone who is out there helping out. All the volunteers. I am from southeast. That was hard for me. That was our rival, the ragin cajuns. A rare moment when robin cheers on the rival. Back to reality tomorrow. Now to that fire on the water. Hundreds of passengers told to abandon a Passenger Ship rescued off the coast of puerto rico after a blaze broke out on board. Officials investigating this latest. Reporter this morning, the incredible survival of more than 500 passengers and crew aboard the caribbean fantasy. Watch as rescuers order the passengers to abandon ship down emergency slides and into rescue rafts. The u. S. Coast guard right there. The ship smoldering for a full day after the fire started right before reaching the san juan shore wednesday morning. The ship makes daily ferry trips between the Dominican Republic and puerto rico. The fire said to have started in the engine room, a hose carrying fuel burst open starting the blaze. Here you can see crews battling the fire from boats, witnesses watching it all happen. The smoke has definitely gotten worse. Weve seen more vessels responding. Reporter the ships captain walking on the pier but refusing to answer questions from reporters. More than 100 passengers treated for smoke inhalation, dehydration and shock. This woman collapsing and carried on to a stretcher moments before helping a scared two dozen others hospitalized injured during that evacuation but even with the drama, no deaths. A passenger telling reporters, thank you, god. And these image, a paramedic with a newborn. Children Holding Hands as they get to a safe spot. And here live in puerto rico, just look, that ship smoldering, the fire not out just yet, and the ntsb is investigating but we can tell you only three people remain in the hospital. That incredible headline, david, everyone survived. Yeah, getting 500 people off that boat is no small feat. Gee gio, thanks so much. We turn to the race for the white house. Donald trump facing new questions about his new Campaign Team this morning. And whether the shakeup has to do with plunging poll numbers. The campaign saying what polls . Abcs tom llamas. Reporter this morning, donald trump hitting the campaign trail for the first time with his new leadership sources tell abc news the shakeup happening because trump didnt want to change his unconventional style to fit into a traditional campaign. I am who i am. Its me. I dont want to change reporter but the Campaign Still needs infrastructure. Trumps new Campaign Manager, Kellyanne Conway telling me shes working on improving the ground game and data operation. What advice would you give donald trump . Well, i keep most of that private but the advice i would give him is to be authentic because thats what americans reporter new campaign ceo Stephen Bannon comes from the ultra conservative news site breitbart. An early trump supporter bannon encouraged him to stick with hard right policies when trump appeared on his radio show in may. Because when they hear paul ryan talking unity, what they feel is going to be a collapse of what you ran on and a collapse of what they backed you on. I mean, i won in landslides based on what i was saying and based on my ideas. Reporter the trump team tanking in the polls. You say its not a shakeup but you guys are down and it says who . Polls. Most of them. All of them . Says who . Polls. I just told you. I answered your question. Okay. Which polls . All of them. Okay. Reporter and Hillary Clinton seeming to relish trumps struggling campaign. He can hire and fire anybody he wants from his campaign. There is no new donald trump. This is it. Reporter and just yesterday, trump received his first intelligence briefing here in new york before it, he said he didnt trust the people gathering intelligence too much because of what he says has happened over the last ten years calling it, quote, catastrophic. All right, tom llamas, always great to have you. Lets get right to chief White House Correspondent when asked about those polls being down the response you heard, says who . Give us a reality check, some of the key battleground, what does he face right now against Hillary Clinton. Donald trump is down virtually everywhere. Take a look at the three most recent battleground state polls from quinnipiac university. First, colorado, a state that helped elect barack obama, shes up ten points. Iowa, the state of the battleground states thats been the strongest for donald trump, shes up within the margin of error three points, and then, virginia, this is the real troubling one for donald trump, down 12 points in a place that had been consistently republican until obama. As a matter of fact you cannot find a single battleground state poll, david, that shows that hes at a consistent lead. And jon, you heard the new Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway saying the trump team they have to improve the ground game. In a few states this number, the last president ial election nearly a third of the ballots were cast early. Is their ground game ready . Reporter if donald trump finds a way to win it will not because of his ground game. Big early votes state as an example, florida, hes now announcing new offices. Right now he only has one Hillary Clinton has 14 statewide offices. One to 14 there in florida. Jon, thanks so much. Now to a thrilling night in rio for team usa.

Her teammate, Brittney Reese took silver, she was the defending olympic champion, and in the 200meter, a bronze for american tori bowie, the team usa men didnt go home emptyhanded. Evan jager got silver in the steeplechase. Meanwhile, the great usain bolt struck again in the 200meter semifinals. Jamaican punched his ticket to the final making it look like a walk in the park. Look at these two. Its almost like a training run. Reporter the superstar and his canadian rival exchanged pleasantries during the home stretch. Bolt clearly is having a blast sprinter Justin Gatlin did not make the final. Geoge all the way reporter after a couple of close games the u. S.

He reveals all. Nice tease. But well begin this half hour with new developments in that Amusement Park investigation. Two women riding the worlds tallest slide when a young boy was killed. Well, those women, were now hearing from them, and abcs linsey davis has the latest. Reporter good morning, there were issues with this ride since it first opened two years ago, in fact, the opening was delayed twice for safety reasons and in the weeks leading up to calebs death reports of safety harnesses not working and rafts going airborne. This morning, were learning more details about the women in the raft with caleb as they and the little boys family plead for answers. More questions this morning about just what caused the death he rode down the verrukt, the worlds tallest water slide at this kansas city water park. For the first time the two women in the raft with him are speaking out this morning. Hanna and metrocka are sisters who suffered facial injuries and released a statement saying being mothers ourselves we can only hope that calebs family can find some comfort in knowing we are doing everything we know how to do to stop something so tragic from occurring again to any other family. The verruckt, which translates to insane in german, features multiperson rafts which make the 168foot drop at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. Each raft is supposed to weigh carry between 400 and 550 pounds. Police initially reported one weighed 140, another 170 and unclear weight for caleb who would have had to weigh 90 pounds to make the limit. But police also said weights taken at the hospital after the accident show one person weighed the combined weight at 545 pounds. Calebs father steve schwab, a state representative, release this statement, saying we find hope with the current investigation into the incident to provide answers and assurances such a tragedy would not strike again and, of course, answers are a small condolence. Yes. Just every time i hear or do the story its heartbreaking. Especially as a mother. Having a li thank you, linsey. Were going to turn to a murder trial making headlines this morning. A woman accused of killing her boyfriend, a miami Police Officer, shes facing charges, her attorneys say it was selfdefense but prosecutors say this is really a case of lies and deceit. Abcs Steve Osunsami is live with us this morning. Steve . Reporter good morning to you, david. Tiniko thompson has already selfdefense to get this dismissed and it didnt work. After the shooting her boyfriend was still alive and she said she left him to die. In this courtroom lawyers fighting for her freedom say Tiniko Thompson is a victim claiming that her Police Officer boyfriend was physically abusive showing what she says were injuries from the beatings and saying that she shot him accidentally as they struggled over his gun. Dna swabs come back positive for Tiniko Thompsons dna up under his fingernails. Reporter even before Police Charged her, she told wtvy her boyfriend put a gun in her face the night he died in may of 2014. He scared me. I feared for my life and i held on, and we struggled because i wasnt going to let go. Reporter its the same account she tearfully told investigators with cameras rolling. I didnt do i didnt kill carl. I love carl with all my heart. Reporter but prosecutors say pregnant with his child even sending texts and photos to friends and the fight broke out, they say, when he learned the truth. The state says officer patrick could have survived the gunshot wound but says thompson never called for help and instead came and went from the home at least five times while his body was inside. At one point police say she is seen here on a Security Camera getting things from a storage space. The body was found in wrapped in a comforter between the walk and the vent. Reporter police say she left a note saying it was an accident and she could get life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors say she pretended she was pregnant so she could convince her boyfriend to live together. They also say that they had already named the baby, a girl, that was supposed to be named victoria. David. All right, Steve Osunsami with us this morning. Steve, thanks as always. Lets get right to abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams. We heard what steve said, the evidence prosecutors will point to she never called for help, came and went five times. Talk about where she targeted, where the gunshot was. Two key points here for prosecutors will be what did she do after the fact and the medical evidence. Prosecutors are going to say he was shot in the back and theyre going to say if hes shot in the back, how is that possibly selfdefense . And also what she did after the fact. Meaning, lets assume that this was selfdefense. Lets assume shes trying to get away and shoots him. Then why wouldnt she try and get help for him afterwards . Now, what her claim is going to be she wasnt thinking rationally, that she freaked out in essence and left, et cetera, so, just what she did after the fact, i dont think is going to be enough for a conviction. Theyre going to need that medical evidence, i think, to be clear that he was shot in the back. If thats the case, this is going to be a stronger case for the prosecutors. Dan, you told us before when you talk about selfdefense, that the prosecutors really have to make a case beyond reasonable doubt. Thats right. Prove its not selfdefense, and, look, shes got some real claims here about selfdefense. Shes going to argue there were injuries, they are going to say there werent injuries. Thats going to be one of the issues in the case and then prosecutors are going to effectively have to say thats not true. Th can be very hard in certain selfdefense case. Youll be here along the way. Dan, thanks so much. Right over to robin at the big board. Coming up on the big board, an urgent warning by the irs about a new backtoschool scam the plug on one of its happy meal toys.

Good morning, larry, great to have you. Lets start with the urgent warning from the irs about a backtoschool scam. Asking people to be on high alert for impersonators who are targeting College Students and their parents across the country. Abc news consumer reporter becky worley with us this morning. As if parents of College Students dont have enough to worry about with tuition and everything, now what should they be warned of . Yeah, david, imagine getting this call. You owe back taxes to the irs because you didnt pay your federal student tax. What . Federal student tax . No such thing. Thats one of the ploys scammers are using to go after students and their parents extracting personal information and in some cases getting victims to wire money to them. The irs tells us since 2013, 45 million has been scammed through these types of calls. This student twist is new. Its all based on social engineering, right . So scammers scaring people, the it clouds our judgment. Ths how people fall victim. Its understandable how this happens but dont let it happen to you. No, no, no. 45 million. How can we avoid this, becky . Listen, i wrote a book on Computer Security and internet scams but even i get emails and calls that sometimes give me a jolt that make me go, yikes, really. Heres the trick, say thank you, hang up, go get your tax returns or go to the irs. Gov go in through the front door with a known safe number where you initiate the call, robin. Never ve money or Bank Information to anybody who contacts you first. And i mean think about it, the irs only likes to scare the crud out of you through the u. S. Postal service. Their weapon of choice, the envelope, not a phone call or email. You know when you receive a letter from them even though you didnt do anything wrong you start shaking when you get that. Real quick, the name of the fake tax here for people who were listening. No such thing on your old ithaca degree there, david. Thanks, becky. Thank you, becky. But now to that happy meal toy backlash. Mcdonalds in a move armed at rebranding the company as more health conscious, swapping its traditional toy for a fitness tracker, but now they are pulling the device from restaurants after some customers reportedly linked it to skin irritation. Rebecca jarvis is going to weigh in on this. We even had a mother i think in arkansas who said her 4yearold broke out in a rash because of this. This is whats key. Robin, she posted the picture on facebook. Has now received over 120,000 shares. Now mcdonalds is shutting it down. Mcdonalds is voluntarily pulling these. Theyre the stepit. Pulling these, you have them on set as well. Pulling them after that picture made the rounds and the mom is saying she too has heard from other parents who have witnessed similar problems in their children. Have a pr nightmare like this. She said i said rash. She said burn. It actually burned her child. Yep. We have a statement from mcdonalds, saying nothing is more important than the safe of our customers and fully investigating this. Youd have to say they did act pretty quickly. This was quick, david. And heres the thing, i think in this new world where you have social media, where people can share these things and they go viral so quickly, companies have to make these decisions. Its going to be a cost. Mcdonald had planned massive advertising around this. A lot of kids were excited to get one at mcdonalds. They had to shut it down in order to protect themselves. By the way, this isnt the first time weve seen kids toys pulled from the menu from places like mcdonalds. Its happened at a lot of other fast food restaurants too. What were you calling them . I was saying it wasnt a bad idea, probably a lot of parents who with an ordinary toy would say, no happy meal but the idea they could wear this and get fit, they might have said, yeah, ill do it. Good intentions. Good for the kids. They say i want one of those handy wristbands. And clean up my room. Learn a few things here. You can dream. Thanks, larry. Well keep you on this. Clerks director kevin smith taking on a cyberbully who attacked his 17yearold daughter on instagram calling her ugly and talentless. Larry, kevin went after them but he used positive energy too to try to teach a lesson here. He did. First took off and said what are you doing taking off after a 17yearold kid but make something positive. Go create something and do worthwhile for other people. This is a tricky one. I mean, im the father of a 17yearold girl. I can understand the idea of a dad saying, hey, get off her back. On the other hand, part of me says, maybe everyone should stop talking online and stop doing these kinds of things. Its very, very tricky. You cannot chide him for defending his daughter but shes a celebrity. Shes in his movies. You know is going to happen again. We can almost do this story every day. Somebody that is being cyberbullied. Well, the conventional wisdom is dont engage. Dont do something. He chose a different opportunity and a different route to go do this. But i think the idea, you know, at a certain point this person, whoever this troll is probably home smiling that he got attention from what he did. See, thats just it. Thats just it. It takes to smile and you got bigger questions. Exactly. Larry, great to have you. Lets do it again. Coming up here in two minutes on gma, hes called the fastest man alive.

Back now with the olympics and an inside look at the fastest man alive jamaicas usain bolt. Hes blowing away the competition and were breaking down the Science Behind his speed. Who better to ask that than our man in rio, t. J. Up there. Hey, good morning once again, guys. Usain bolt would actually get a ticket if he ran through some neighborhoods in the u. S. For going over the speed limir, right . The guy is absolutely amazing. Hes supposed to be too tall to be a sprinter but that works to his advantage. But it turns out he doesnt just have a physical but also a genetic advantage. Jamaican superstar usain bolt dominated the 200meter semifinals overnight. And bolt is in front. Reporter cruising to an effortless time of 19. 78 seconds. Bolt says, ah, no, i still got it. Reporter on sunday the worlds fastest man crushed the 100meter dash in 9. 81 seconds making him the only person to win gold in the event three times. Here he is still invincible. Usain bolt. Reporter so just how fast is bolt going . About 23 miles per hour. Keeping that same pace it would milers by more than five football fields but we may never know because bolt says hes never actually run a whole mile. One reason hes so fast, his height. At 65 bolt is above average for a sprinter so with his long legs it takes him only 40 or 41 strides over 100 meters when other sprinters need 43 or 44. He takes very long strides. And the speed of each stride is equal to what his shorter competitors do and that just lets him chew up the track and make it look like theyre reporter one other key to his success. In jamaica people are active their whole lives and sporting culture does start young. Sprinters are not only the superstars in jamaica theyre the superduper stars and have been for a long while time. Okay, robin, david, listen to this. They say, now, theres been some research about whats called an actn3 gene. It has to do with muscle explosiveness and they say jamaicans have a that in their country. More of them have this than anywhere in the world. Thats part of the reason why we see so many of these good sprinters coming out of jamaica. Interesting stuff, i dont know if its true. The actn3 gene. Who is they . They said, they. We just said it.

Good morning. Lets talk about the risks and benefits. Lets start on the positives. Good. In general, when you talk about having a baby at or around age 50, you know, there are financially stable. She can be more socially secure. She can know her body better. Flip side, yes, there could be the need for more in vitro fertilization, could be more social anxiety. We heard a lot about that in the piece and obviously there can be some financial costs that come along with that. How about physically. Look, physically, this is the good news, data has shown that pregnancies for older women, they tend to go pretty well. They can have an increased risk of hospitalization, the babies can have lower birth weight but in general women are tough. Okay, when you bounce them the heavier ball youll have to bounce it harder than the lighter ball to get the same height, so it can take more effort but, remember, age is only a number.

You cant talk about having a pregnancy without having those this side. I dont want to be the older mom at kindergarten or the oldest at graduation but the flip side being with children, that keeps us young at heart and young in spirit. Think of this water.

Of course a threetime nba champ, fourtime mvp, on a mission to help thousands of children and their parents with the lebron james foundation. But first, our good friend espns rachel nichols, you covered him for years and spent time recently back with him in absolutely. One of the most powerful sports moments of the summer was when lebron james and a bunch of the other nba stars spoke at the espys about social responsibility but theres a lot that led up to that moment. Ive been going to akron for years to watch lebron conduct events with the kids hes been helping there and we wanted to bring you guys along to see it up close. Lebron james family foundation, we are family reunion, let me hear you make some noise, come on. Its time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, what are we doing to create change and, most importantly, go back to our communities and invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better. Thank you. Reporter the speech lebron summer was very public. The reason behind it, that was very personal. I definitely could have been a statistic. You know, i had days where i felt it was like just me and my mom and no one cared and, you know, theres no way that we going to be able to make it out of this. I had a dream about, you know, that if i ever become successful, you know, it wasnt just going to be about me. When i became a professional i was like, i got to figure out a something happen in my community where these kids can, you know, also be successful. Reporter for years lebron and his foundation tried various outreach projects but in 2011, they hit on this. What if a group of third graders were closely supported in school. Month after month, year after year, all the way up through High School Graduation . The children start coming in in third grade and that is the key time when we start to see children fall through the cracks achievement gap broadening and we can grab and save these kids. Reporter last summer lebron raised that expectation even higher, announcing a partnership with the university of akron that will provide College Scholarships for kids in his program who graduate high school. Its amazing. It gives you that sudden sense of le for your own kid because we didnt have it. So to know that shes going to have that is great. We have a lot of parents here that didnt graduate high school so not only are we tracking our kids here to make them become better but were lending a helping hand to a lot of the parents did didnt graduate high school and put them in programs where they can get their high school diploma. And always kind of haunted me like go back to school, go back to school and stuff so when i got the letter in the mail for the orientation for the g. E. D. Class i was jumping up and down about this is the generational change that is happening here. I mean, look, youre talking about a community and lebron has said this himself, its below the National Average when it comes to high school graduates, below the National Average when it comes to College Graduates so you help them earn those degrees you not only change their lives, you change the future of their kids and suddenly the future of an entire city, and i got to tell on you a little bit, lebron. Because the teachers in the program told me that when the kids dont do their homework, they say, im im going to tell him youre not working and the teachers said that homework, its there the next day. I notice sometimes you give them a little call to let them know oh, by the way, lebron james, ladies and gentlemen. Where are my manners . But what was so great and im glad you got to spend time, rachel, with him in akron, i told you this, my mother grew up there. Spent many summers in akron. But the way that you identified not just the children but the parents and how much it means to them to be a part of the educational process. Very important and like you said, the kids are it starts with the kids. We understand that but, you know, if the parents dont have the knowledge d education as well it will be hard for them to help their kids so to be able to do both means a lot. Thank you, rachel.

Lebron james and the cleveland cavalier cavaliers ended the citys championship drought bringing home the nba trophy and lebron is back with us in the middle of an amazing summer not just scoring on the court also makg james family foundation. First of all, let me just say, being from akron, so many cousins who live in akron, my grandmother used to watch the cavaliers all the time. How did that feel for you to bring home that championship . I havent had that feeling in a long time, if ever and to be able to end our drought, to be able to uplift so many people thats followed cleveland sports years and to be able to come through and deliver on something that i set out to do, it was the ultimate. As is your foundation and working with these children. Youve been doing this for years now. I remember going back with you to akron when it was first starting and seeing you hands on with the kids. Its as important now in 2016 as when you began this. Absolutely. And just a few days ago we had our family reunion, bringing in a new crop of third graders and know, what my foundation has been able to do has been unbelievable to hit home in our inner city and make sure our kids understand how important they are to us long term because they are our future and its unbelievable what weve been able to do so far. What will it mean to you to see them graduate and to go on to college . Its it will mean everything to me. And thats why we have so many people looking after them from kids looking after our kids. We have the university of akron looking after our kids and if theyre able to graduate and reach all their criteria we also have a College Degree i mean a College Education waiting for them to go off to college so its very exciting. You said this at the espys, you and the others there on the stage, that was a dramatic open to the espys like that but you talked about in your local communities that we all want to save the world but youve got to absolutely. I dont have all the answers. I know that but what i do know is going back into our communities, it starts there, so many of our kids look up to us where we grew up in because they relate to that. Theyre like, oh, wow, he grew up here and walked these same streets. How did he do it and for me to go back into my community and be hands on starting kid by kid, block by block and build that up, that make s s to make a cha same neighborhood.

Doctors told us that calebs Life Expectancy was about 35 years of age. Ms of cystic fibrosis, but targeted the disease. The only problem was is that it wasnt approved to be used in the united states. But Michael Bennet changed that. Working with republicans, Michael Bennet wrote a law to get medicine and treatments approved quicker. Caleb just celebrated 5 years being hospitalfree. He doesnt have to think about his disease every day. As a mom, Michael Bennet gave me a future with my son. Im able to see him in the future getting married, graduating from college. Those were dreams that we hoped for, but now i see them as a reality. I feel very fortunate to have somebody representing us that cares so much.
