It was a remarkable outcome. And the final push. Brazils big home turf victory. Brazil strike olympic gold team usa winning gold on the court. History on the track, too. What no american has done before. And the star of these games about to take a final bow. The finish line now so close. Hey, good morning, everybody. Paula is off taking some muchdeserved vacation this morning. Delighted to have cecilia vega on board. Lets get right to our top story. The olympic swimmer ryan lochte now apologizing for that boozy and now infamous night in rio. Hes admitted exaggerating his story. Hes now saying sorry to the people of rio, his teammates, and all of those athletes whose by this episode of latenight mischief. Matt gutman has been on the story from the very start. Matt, good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, cecilia and dan. Lochtes story has morphed from denying anything ever happened to be dirty harry, faces down thugs masquerading as police. Now admitting the swimmers negotiat he called what the swimmers did shenanigans and couldnt quite cop to lying. Im sorry. Reporter ryan lochte tell what he says is the truth. Offering a long list of apologies. Brazil doesnt deserve that. It was my fault. Reporter lochte saying hes taking full responsibility for the events that led to this confrontation in in now infamous gas station video, if which you can see him here pulling down that poster. Police immediately suspected the with locket ty lochte back the u. S. , the other swimmers involved were hauled in for questioning. Lochte says he wasnt entirely truthful. Hours after the incident last sunday morning, he told nbr he cocked it, put it to my forehead. Reporter admitting now he was still drunk in that interview. It was still hours after that incident happened. I was still intoxicated. I was still under that influence. I overexaggerated that part. The gun was drawn. But not at my forehead. It wasnt cocked at my forehead. It was toward my general direction. As you can see in the surveillance, thats when my hands wept up. Reporter after days of solidarity, teammates gunnar bentz and jack conger offered apologies, their versions contradicting lochtes tale. We foolishly relieved ourselves which apparently alerted the gas station employees. For the rapid escalation that night, bentz putting the blame squarely on lochte. Ryan stood up and began to yell at the guards. After jack and i both tugged at him in an attempt to get him to sit back down. In the video, you see this Good Samaritan using his limited english to translate and calm the tensions. When we caught upit saturday, he said the swimmers were offering cash to keep the guards from calling police. No police, no police, please, please, please. Reporter they were saying no police, please . Yes, yes, yes. Reporter they said it was bentz who offered them money, asking them to explain that they wanted to know the loss of value and to pay. Despite the eyewitness testimony, lochte seemed to hold on to his story that they were somehow extorted. Maybe thats also a bit of over exaggeration. Prosecuted here in rio, he acknowledged he could lose endorsements and still faces possible suspension by the international and u. S. Olympic committees. Dan . Matt, thank you. I want to pick up on the point about the consequences for him. Lets bring in julie foudy, also in rio. Julie, good morning to you. Do you think this Contrition Mission where hes apologizing and dyeing his hair from blond back to brown, is this going to stop the bleeding for lochte . Can he salvage those dan, it is dumbfounding, really. He just needs to stop talking, put his head down and be silent. When you think about it, who is going to endorse someone who lied to his mom, to the u. S. Olympic committee . Who then went on National Television and told a lie. Who then continues to lie and try to cover it up, who is totally tone deaf and leaves his teammates when theyre back here in rio struggling. I mean, the list you keep going on with. Stupidity of it is just amazing. I dont think hell be able to get endorsement deals. I hope he cant get any. Its just dumbfounding. The list goes on and on. Lets talk 2020. What is the likelihood he ends up in the pool in japan . He could. Hes talked about wanting to be back in tokyo. The suspension from usa swimming, theyre not going to suspend him for four years and knock out tokyo. If they suspended him for six or a year and took out worlds, he could still be back in the pool. Hell be 36 in tokyo. I think without the branding and of course the money that comes with all of those endorsement deals. Thank you, julie. Thank you to all of our team on the ground there. Excellent job. We want to turn to the extreme weather, tearing through parts of the country overnight. Ohio and michigan slammed by tornadoes. A big cleanup there. Parts of texas, heavy rains came fast and furious. Hey, rob. Hey, cecilia. Now that were getting into late august, stronger cold fronts. Northern part spawning severe weather. The southern part bringing down the rain yesterday evening. In austin. Sliding south into san antonio. They had flash flooding overnight. Overnight, flash flooding in san antonio, texas. Torrential downpours dumping nearly nine inches of rain in just four hours. Part of the same system that spawned several tornadoes in the midwest. Tornado on the ground reported twisters across the region. Thats getting big, too. Reporter in the storms wake, this trail of destruction in michigan. Where trucks were flipped over like toys. Roof tops ripped right off structures. Trees uprooted and snapped like twigs. Tornado sirens warning people in ohio to take shelter quick. I saw the clouds and debris and wood and paper flying around, im like, this aint good. States working round the clock clearing up debris. Miraculously no deaths or injuries reported. But some returned home to find nothing left. I got a phone call. I was been told how much damage there was. I was kind of prepared for it. So when i got home, still, nothing prepares you for this. Theres a slight Severe Threat across the northeast. As the northern part of this fron the southern part just dragging on. There will be more in the way of rain over the same areas, especially san antonio later on this afternoon. This is a 12hour rainfall forecast. We could see another three, four, five inches or more. In the areas that are already flooding right now. Among the high water rescues, that may the ongoing through time. Some of this rain along the i10 corridor into the flood zone of baton rouge. On jous obviously are the waters are still very high there. A slow and painful recovery with that. Exactly what they do not need. Rob, thank you. To the race for the white house. And Donald Trumps latest attempts to reach out to minority voters. He has a new panel of hispanic advisers. What hes now saying about the Republican Partys historical lack of outreach to after americans. Lets start with mary bruce. Reporter throughout this campaign, trump has raised plenty of eyebrows for his comments about minorities. This morning, he seems to be refining the message. As he makes a new appeal for ei i want a totally inclusive country. And i want an inclusive party. Reporter this morning, donald trump has a new pitch to minority voters and a new admission. The outreach to the Africanamerican Community is in an area where the Republican Party must do better. And it will do better. Reporter just days into the latest trump reset. Meeting with his new hispanic advisory board. And outrage over this stark plea. Why do you have to lose . Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. The vast majority, more than 75 of us are not living in poverty. We are employed. We are working hard americans. Reporter in virginia, some Trump Supporters not ready to embrace his approach. Offensive to Say Something like that. He may have a tough pill to swallow. Were among those that are listening and want to try something new. Hillary clinton is just going to take us further down the road to despair. Its time to wake up. Africanamericans, wake up. Lets give the man a chance. Reporter and this morning the latest fundraising numbers are in. Trump has picked up the pace, raising more than 36 million in july. Clinton is still way ahead, pulling in 52 million last month. Dan and cecilia . Thank you, mary. Abc news chief anchor, george stephanopoulos. You only promised george. It could have been could have been george costanza. Lets get serious for a moment. Given that trumps Approval Rating amongst africanamericans, last we checked, are 2 , what are the odds that this Outreach Campaign on which hes now embarked is going to work . I dont think thats what this is about. Some polls have him at 2 . Some at 0 . With the africanamerican vote. He wont maka area. This is designed to tell the Republican Party and others that hes not biased against africanamericans. Not biassed against minorities. Our recent poll shows that he hes more than 60 of the public believes hes biased other minorities. This is designed to show hes not the donald trump they think he is. Even if it doesnt get him many vote. In recent days, a bit of a tone shift for donald trump. Among the political experts with whom you have chats, is there a sense that this is durable . Can he really change . Thats the question were going to ask his new campaign manager, kellyanne conway. He said this week he regretted certain things in the campaign. Didnt say what they were. In previous instances, he said he didnt regret what he said about the khan family, john mccain, the New York Times reporter. Of a real shift for donald trump . Is he ready to reach out and attract a bigger base . Not just the hardcore voter that supported him in the primaries. Youre talking to the other side, too, this morning. I look at the front page of the washington post. A Comfortable Lead for clinton. She starts refining an agenda. Theyre already looking ahead, not necessarily measuring the drapes in the white house ahead, but theyre feeling confident. Whats the danger in that . The big danger is complacency. You cant measure the drapes in the white house before youre elected. There are more than 80 days given how horrible Donald Trumps summer was, Hillary Clinton could be doing better than shes doing right now. Some polls still show its a three to fivepoint race. They cant take anything for granted. But i think what that article was talking about is, Hillary Clinton trying to create some kind of mandate if, indeed, she does win, by putting out her plans on immigration, student loan forgiveness, infrastructure and jobs. So that people are not voting for never trump but rather voting for a Hillary Clinton agenda. George stephanopoulos. Not to be confused with any other george. Hes going to go one on one with Donald Trumps new campaign manager, kellyanne conway. And Clinton Campaign manager robby mook. George wants to know what questions you might have. You can tweet george gstephanopoulos. If you can spell stephanopoulos. If you can spell stephanopoulos. Exactly. Stories. Good morning, everyone.
