Going through customs just moments ago. One swimmer, though, still in brazil. Jimmy feigen meeting with police overnight negotiating a deal after new Surveillance Footage from that gas station incident surfaces. Abcs matt gutman is on the scene there for us in rio and has the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, robin. What happened at this gas station has become an international incident. Now, those two u. S. Swimmers are back in the u. S. And jimmy feigen, the man you mentioned, the only swimmer still here, he agreed to pay 11,000 to a charity to get his passport back but despite all of that, brazil still leaving the door open to charging all four of them. Abc news was on that plane with them overnight talking to olympic swimmers gunnar bentz and jack conger, the two men seen in this exclusive video traveling without an entourage keeping to themselves after their night of partying sunday with teammates ryan lochte and james feigen turned into an international incident. We have just landed here at miami airport on the flight from rio to miami. Gunnar and jack are still in the back of the plane and i spoke to gunnar in the middle of the flight and he said theyre really looking forward to being back here in the United States. Reporter the last of the four swimmers stuck in rio, feigen spending hours overnight at a Police Station. His attorney saying hed have to pay about 11,000 to a charity to get his passport back. This as new videos are coloring in some details of what happened that night. Lochte had said robbers had held him and his teammates up at saying the men werent victims they were vandals destroying this gas station bathroom. After leaving club france at 5 47 a. M. Cameras capture them Walking Around that gas station around 6 00 a. M. Watch as one pulls a sign off the wall. Lochte seen here stumbles out of the bathroom. Police say the swimmers kicked down the door and vandalized the bathroom inside then those four continued on here back towards their taxi and at this point, they allegedly ripped a poster off the wall before being confronted by those Security Guards. After the men get into their taxi, one of the men police say was a Security Guard confronts them. They get out of the car. The tape then cuts out for a threeminute chunk. You next see the four swimmers sitting on a curb with their hands up. Lochte here in the middle standing to get something out of his pocket. Police say a Security Officer detained them at gunpoint until they paid about 50 for damages. But sources who spoke to all four swimmers overnight tell abc to hand over 400. Overnight lochtes attorney telling abc news, no matter what happened at the gas station, the swimmers were robbed. Police questioned the story from the start especially after seeing this video, the men returning to the Olympic Village from the gas station with watches, wallets and phones. Overnight the u. S. Olympic committee calling the athletes behavior unacceptable saying we apologize to our hosts in rio and the people of brazil. Robin, i want you to take a look at that surveillance camera up there. It captured those four swimmers sitting right down there, a man standing over them with the gun. Now, whats amazing here is that both sides, the lawyers for the swimmers and the police say the video proves their point. So the big question is were these four swimmers being extorted for 400 or were they simply being asked to pay for the damage that they allegedly caused . Trying to get to the beam of that. Thank you. We bring in dan abrams. Youve seen the hea liar, liar, speedo on fire, real police call lochte liar. Not victim. Theres no question in my mind that he lied, right. When he initially said publicly we were pulled over in this taxi and then a gun put to my head by these people pretending that they were police officers, thats not what happened, right . Furthermore, we didnt know about this vandalism and this incident at the gas station. With all that said, he also may have been robbed. Meaning he may have been wrong to do what he did at the gas station, he may have been wrong to publicly embellish the story and it also may be robbery to say to someone with a gun, yeah, you may want to pay us 50 bucks, were going to take 400. What happens no you. For ryan lochte, nothing. Meaning, hes now in the United States and wont get extradited as a result of this. Feigen is the one who really needs to be concerned because hes there. Hes the one trying to negotiate a deal right now because if he were to get indicted for either li for vandalism, et cetera, its the last thing hed want, right . Regardless of what the sentence would be up to six months potentially for filing a false police claim, additional for vandalism as a practical matter, what the brazilians want is their reputation back. Sure, they do. Its not they dont need feigen behind bars. They want to be able to say to the world, we did what we promised. We kept rio safe and if they can be able to say that in good faith, i think that this will all be worked out in some way or another. And the american authorities weighing in saying this is unacceptable behavior. Thats helpful in resolving this because, again, it says to the brazilian authorities we get it. We get it. This isnt what it initially seemed to the world. There was a firestorm on social media, theyre referring to them as kids. These are grown men. Ryan lochte is 32 years old. The saga continues. Dan, thank you. We turn to the race for the white house here this morning of a new tone overnight expressing regret in his words over some of his comments and announcing that hes heading to louisiana to meet with communities affected by the devastating floods this morning. Abcs tom llamas is on the trail in new orleans and joins us live. Hey, tom. Reporter david, donald trump and governor michael phelke pend to tour that devastated flood area around baton rouge. Now, this trip was put together very quickly. It was never on the official schedule. But it comes at a time that trump is now trying to show a softer side. Overnight, a first for donald trump. Admitting at times hes gone too far in his personal attacks and now expressing remorse. Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you dont choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And believe it or not, i regret it. Reporter this trump, a stark difference from the man who has attacked a gold star family. She was standing there, she had nothing to say. She probably maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say. Reporter and hurled vicious insults at other foes. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. Now the poor guy, i dont know what i said, ah. I dont remember. Id like to punch him in the face, ill tell ya. Reporter but now this. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Reporter this never before seen side of trump now extending even to the victims in louisiana. We are one nation. Hurt. Reporter the Clinton Campaign calling it all an act. In a statement saying, donald trump literally started his campaign by insulting people. But trump sees it a different way accusing clinton of lying to voters. While sometimes i can be too honest, Hillary Clinton is the exact opposite. She never tells the truth. Reporter and this morning, donald trump out with his First Television ad of the general election. In Hillary Clintons america the system stays rigged against americans. Syrian refugees flood in. Illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay collecting Social Security benefits, skipping the line. Our border open, its more of the same but worse. Reporter now, trump does have some catching up to do. In the last two months alone the hillary Clinton Campaign has spent more than 60 million tv ads. This right now is a 5 million ad buy for the trump campaign. Its going to run in five battleground states. Tom, thanks. Joining us kellyanne conway, the newly tapped Campaign Manager for donald trump. Welcome back to the program . Thank you for having me. Congrats on the new role. Thank you. He said sometimes along the way in the heat of the moment you say the wrong thing. But he went further. Donald trump saying i do regret it particularly where it may have caused personal pain. What was he talking about . He was talking about anyone would feels offended by anything he said and thats all him. You know, he took extra time yesterday going over that speech with a pen so that was a decision he made. Those are his words. And i hope that everybody who has criticized him at some point, david, for being insensitive or for mocking someone at least shows some recognition and some forgiveness. But you mentioned anyone whos been personally offended by what he said. You know, john mccain early on when he said, you know, hes a war hero because he was captured. I like those who arent captured. Will he reach out to the khan family personal. He may. I hope they heard him and i hope america heard him because of all the people, david, who have been saying, hey, lets get trump to pivot, lets get him to be more president ial. That is president ial. Its also president ial today to have him and governor pence going to louisiana in a decidedly nonpolitical event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need. You mentioned a moment ago these were his words, he worked on this speech personally but youre a couple of days in as the new Campaign Manager. What he said about the khans was weeks ago. Why the regret now . Some people might say was that you . It was not me. Thats all donald trump. Hes the candidate. Why the regret now. Its an expression of regret. Perhaps he felt it before but he expressed it now and i think if you look at the fullman of the man, this is somebody who those of us who know him personally see day by day. He just promoted a woman to mentioning to you my gender, which i think is quite remarkable. Im insulted routinely by liberal men everywhere yet a conservative man promoted me to Campaign Manager. Thats symptomatic of who he is, all the women hes promoted and compensated at the trump organization. Thats important to voters as well. You need to look at the full measure of the man. As we move forward weve heard this line of attack about Hillary Clintons health saying that she doesnt have the mental and physical stamina to take on isis and our many adversaries. Hillary clinton is 68 and donald trump is 70 and suggesting she has stamina issues. How do you hi this will sit with some . You heard the new pew numbers down significantly almost 20 points down to Hillary Clinton with women. Well fight for everybodys vote and we recognize that all issues are womens issues. I have not in the 28 years of doing this ever heard the term mens issues. Its just believed men can ham all issues and we cannly talk we can ham all im pretty sure as women. On her stamina, do you think theres a real question about her stamina. Donald trump is difficult to keep up with him and hard to remember hes 70 on a daily basis. More energetic than most of us on the trail. Hillary clinton insults donald trump eve time shes asked about a policy position of her own she takes an opportunity to insult donald trump. Shell insult donald trump and well talk directly to the voters and i hope, i absolutely hope this campaign pivots to substance because we want to challenge her on the issues. We want ask her to own obamacare. Ate father pulling out of 30 states and 11 of the 15 states saying they suffered 1. 5 billion in combined lots just because of obamacare, the Affordable Care act. Thats right. People feel less prosperous and less safe. I would rather lose an election that was based on style and a contentfree cacophony if it doesnt mean we can win on substance. The trip to louisiana, safe trip. Kellyanne, thanks so much for being. Thank you. We turn to louisiana where those deadly devastating floods have killed at least 13 people. Thousands are still in shelters there this morning and president obama is under fire for not cutting short his vacation and visiting the state. Abcs jon karl joins us now and, jon, what are critics saying and how is the white house responding . Reporter the president s facing some tough criticism from those in louisiana who dont like the images of him playing golf in Marthas Vineyard while their state deals with the deadly impact of those floods. The advocate newspaper says he should back his bags and get to the state. Its time for president obama to visit the most anguished state in the union. Last week it brought misery and the president continued his very indication at Marthas Vineyard, a playground for the posh and well connected. No president really goes on vacation. The white house points out hes been getting on this. Hes dispatched his Homeland Security secretary and the fema director to the state and offered any assistance the administration can offer. I know the locals there are very happy with the fema response, but they are questioning about president obama. All right. Thank you so much. And the president not the only one under fire. We, the National Media also being criticized. This is the worst storm since sandy and they feel there should be more coverage on what those people in louisiana are going through right now. Which is why weve been trying to put it on the map every night but we are thinking about those families. In the meantime, well turn to last night at the olympics and a lightning fast evening, you could say, superstar athletes stealing the show on the track.

Time now for our big board. Team of insiders standing by live for more on the top stories including dr. Jennifer ashton here at the table. Your topic in a minute, jen. First that major announcement from uber about selfdriving cars. The ride hailing giant is set to month. First time the technology has been offered to the general public. Okay, becky worley, youre going to weigh in on this. So has the time arrived . This seems like weve been talking about this for awhile. Its going to happen . Well, the technology for autonomous drive something ready, robin. Im not sure the passengers are. Uber partnering with volvo to roll out this Pilot Program in pittsburgh. You will a notice they chose volvo not tesla or bmw. What do we appreciate solve very with, safety. Autopilot aspects, theyll phase them in during this test and others gradually. For one we need laws for Autonomous Vehicles and more importantly, people need to see incremental steps. They need to get slowly comfortable with this idea. So in this uber test, real people in the drivers seat to take over as needed. Short jaunts with autonomous driving in a volvo known for safety, everybody, check. I thought discount with uberx, not go driverless. You have firsthand experience with this. I got one of the first rides in googles driverless car back in 010. It was jerky, it was conceptually wild. Flash forward to now. I got a ride in bmws driverless car, it parks itself. I sat in the back with no one else. Weird to see the Steering Wheel moving all by itself, yeah. But in this day and age, we adapt to innovation so fast, by the time i got back home, in my minivan i was ticked off, it couldnt drive itself. Experts say, though, 10 to 60 years for full autonomy, with my life School Pickups rushing to soccer practice, grocery store, driverless cars, i cant wait. Only becky really rocks the minivan, i love it. I love it. Well turn next to the next headline about social media and your health. Fascinating new study try to determine if the filter you use on your instagram, indicates how happy you are. I thought i was just being artistic. Dr. Janet taylor will tell us probably something else. If we use a filter a lot what does that indicate . Its just not using the filter a lot. What this harvard study showed individuals prior to having a diagnosis may pick filters that were darker, grayer, bluer and you can pull up the filters for an example that may indicate their mood and so what they did was use visual social media, the pictures that they took, how many people are in the picture, what the words they said, that as a predictive factor that may, again, its a screening tool diagnostic marker, i mean a screening tool, not diagnostic that may indicate someones mood may be more depressed. On the left there is a filter thats happier and on the right darker. All right, you are a professional. Is this going to lead to amateur instagram psychology here . Well, its not diagnostic but certainly as individuals we should Pay Attention to how we feel and if you find that maybe you are using a filter thats your mood you could talk to someone. Your health care provider, your parents or friends about how you feel. So its not diagnostic but certainly may indicate how you feel. The goal is to feel happy but knowing that our emotions change every 20 seconds so they it fluctuates. If you have a sustained feeling of sadness, if youre not eating and sleeping, talk to someone. Get some help. Okay, thats something to think about. Thank you so much. Speaking of sleep, now to what could be the secret to finally Getting Better sleep. A New York Times out with the headline this week about a therapy that harnesses the power of positive thinking to help those suffering from insomnia. Okay, jen, so whats behind all of it. Theyre talking about something called cbt or cognitive behavioral therapy, mainstay in psychotherapy. Think of it as goal oriented problem solving practical. This is like the antithesis of freudian psychoanalysis when youre on the couch and forever. This gets the job done and used to study a lot of different therapies for different disorders. Now the thinking should it be first line therapy for insomnia. The American College of physicians a few months ago said, yes, we should be recommending this first. Now this article is all about could you do this online . Now, studies the verdict is still out. Some has shown its no better or worse than in person cbt, the therapist, the experts dr. Dr. Taylor will say, look, this is not cookie cutter. You need one Samuel Honrubia one and make sure theres not something worse going on. Everyone is nodding. What if you dont have access to that or medication, are there other things can you do on your own . I actually did a study, a sleep test a few years ago, you might remember. I found for me it was my environment. So i changed my bed. I got a bigger bed, darker blinds, that can be important. Excluding medical causes and then, you know, you really have to take it to a good therapy. Meds are not the longterm people feel thats the case. Shortterm, okay. With the twins when is the last time you got a good nights sleep . Whew, i think that was in the 90s. Yeah, i love my bed. I love my bed. I love my bed. Anything you do, dr. Taylor to ensure a good nights rest . Well, you know what i try to do, obviously want to avoid alcohol because that can stop you and then just try to relax yourself. I start from head to toe and think relaxing thoughts with every breath. Sleep is my favorite word that starts with an s.

Good morning, cecilia. Good morning to you both. The big story this morning, two u. S. Olympians returned to the states leaving behind an International Scandal in brazil. Gunnar bentz and jack conger arrived in miami just after sunrise leaving rio after police announced that the story of their robbery at gunpoint was a lie. Teammate james feigen remains in rio where he met with police overnight. Abcs matt gutman is right there with the latest. Matt. Reporter and good morning, cecilia. Thats right. It was a marathon session at that Police Station and after four hours inside at 5 00 in the morn the lawyer for jim my feigen, the only swimmer still here in rio, coming out and saying his client had agreed to pay 11,000 in order to get his passport back but police here in rio have not closed the door. They say on charging all four swimmers. They say that they were not victims of a robbery as they said, but vandals destroying the bathroom at this gas station and they say they have the video to prove it. Those cameras all over this gas station. Now, the major question is, were these swimmers held up . Were they extorted for 400 as they say or were they, in fact, told to just pay for the damages. But one thing that may have helped to smooth things over, the u. S. Olympic committee saying it condemned their action and apologized to the brazilians. A lot of questions, matt gutman, thank you.

Abcs juju chang has a closer look at the trend and how you can help your children get on their own two feet. Reporter marisa sleeps in the same bed she did when she was 10. Except now shes 24. An adult still living at home. And shes not alone. Living with parents is now the most common arrangement for millennials aging 18 to 34. Her parents vicki and bob who work three jobs between them are allowing marisa to say rentfree while she pays off her Student Loan Debt. I dont make her give me money for every little thing like i should do. Reporter personal financial expert peter dunn says having a plan to fly the coop is key. The bottom line your financial problems should become anyone elses financial problem. Kind of makes me mad when i look at all my loans. Reporter marisa graduated over a year ago from a big university. She has about 57,000 in loans and pays down 700 a month. She has a full time job making 2,000 a month. You have someone with a ton of Student Loan Debt that when they took it on didnt think about the implications of whats going to happen when i graduate. How much do you think you could save right now which would then prepare you to live on your own . Right, im sure i could save well over 100. 100 . You can do more than 100. I probably could. Reporter first things first budget, figure out where youre spending your money. Bob and vicki realized theyre spending an extra 300 to 400 a month on marisa. The difference of putting that money away now until the day you retire, 176,000 difference. Wow. In other words, each year that marisa lives at home will cost her if she stays for five years thats well over 80 grand. Youll work deep into your 70s. I dont want to have to work till im 70 or 80 and just fall down dead. Reporter marisa learns she makes enough money to live on her own if she spends wisely. The plan, pete gives marisa two option, save 800 a month for three months to prove to herself she can live on her own or start paying rent. So that will get you out sooner rather than later and it ultimately gives their retirement back. Great advice. You know a lot of adult kids bond with their parents.

We cannot wait to hear her but first benhur, one of the most epic tales ever told and now its getting a major reboot. I had a chance to sit down yesterday with two of the films executive producers mark burnett and roma downey to find out how theyre taking on the classic and, boy, you should see that famous chariot race scene. Weve got a peek. Take a look. Go, go. Are we having fun now, brother . Yes. Oh everybody here in the studio, mark and roma, thank you very much. Big night tonight. People are going to see it. Ive had a chance to see it. It is beautiful. It is powerful. I know, mark, a lot of people think about charlton heston, his epic tale in 1959. Yes. That also inspired you for the remake. Yes, almost 60 years ago and what we learned quickly, robin, is that there is a benhur generation and a benwho generation . Millions of people never saw the 1959 its such an important story. Heres a chance for a whole new generation to get to know benhur. Ive seen both of them and what i really appreciate in your version forgiveness. Absolutely and that was very important to us. We feel that we live in a dark, scary, dangerous world and if we can find places to illuminate entertainment that we see, this film is not just a story about revenge, it shows these brothers, they end up ultimately because of jesus in a story of redemption and forgiveness and reconciliation. We get to know jesus in the film, dont we . Yes, for anybody that did see the 59, if you remember, you never actually got to see jesus face. You never heard him speak but here in this benhur you get to have a relationship with jesus. You get to hear him, see him, see how he impacts others. Also, morgan freeman. Yes. His character, the sheik, that was just morgan freeman, you just cant go wrong. The whole movie opens with looking setting the stage in Morgan Freemans voice and when you hear that voice, you just know youve arrived at something important. Its amazing. What about those dreadlocks. I know. Doesnt he look he looks fantastic too. He does. I know you are working on a nasc to capture that same kind of adrenaline and thrill. Absolutely. Our director studied nascar and formula 1 to find out where he could put the cameras to really make it exciting. There were cameras in the wheels of the chariots and in between the ears of the horses and its all cut together in a way that just feels tangible. Oh, gosh, it jumps off the big screen. You all have worked so well together. Youve been married. You have children. The whole bit. Is there anything that surprises you about yourselves when youre working together on projects like this . Mark . We often say the real miracle is were still speaking to each other. Yeah. We do, we get on so well, you know, we love each other. Were best friends. What is your hope when people look up and see this on the big screen . What is your hope . You have to be very entertaining for a big summer blockbuster, and this movie is entertaining but woven in through this is this reconciliation and forgiveness and maybe this movie adds some value to people who leave the theaters and think about reconciliation, forgiveness and love. And congratulations on your star placed right next to your hubbys star right there. I know. I hope it works out between us or well be in there with a drill. Dedicated to your hometown. I did. I dedicated it to my hometown in derry in ireland and to anyone whoever had a dream and walked on hollywood boulevard because i was here to say, i was a girl with a dream once and i was here to say the dreams do come true. Such a lovely, talented couple, thoroughly enjoyed. Great message. I cant wait to see the movie now. It made me want it more. You can see it today because benhur hits theaters today. And, david, where is he . Hes inside with another big star. I have come back inside for that big star. Here with us now two time nominee jonah hill. Jonah, great to have you here. Hes taking on the dark comedy war dogs with miles teller and play a couple of small fish in the big pond of International Arms dealers and in this scene youre about to see they meet up with, well, you could say a real shark. Take a look. Youre looking at the exclusive agent for the whole thing. Why dont you bid on the contract yourself. Im on a watch list. Terrorist watch list . Uhhuh. Got it. Wait, what . Okay, how many for the ak ammo. Ten cents a sgloupdz youre on a terrorist watch list. Do it for Homeland Security. You should probably talk to some of them. We will but we are very interested. Incredible cast in this movie. You were just in l. A. For the premiere. We saw some hugging and some beard tugging going on there on the red carpet. What are you talking about . Is this the new look. Called a beard. Sometimes it grows on your face. Sometimes its longer than others. You should try it, man. I do. This is my beard. No, they actually make m going. Its almost like yours, im working on that all morning long. Grab my surfboard and get on that thing. You should and make sure you roll on that because theyll use it for pop news on monday. Let me ask you about the story behind this. You were after this for some time. Rolling stone article. You and the director both wanted to do this. War dogs is an unbelievable insane true story about these two schmucks from miami who basically, you know, theyre in their mid20s and they figure out through a loophole in the American Government at that time how to become International Arms dealers and make over 300 million selling guns to the u. S. Government and it stars myself and miles teller and Bradley Cooper and its directedly Todd Phillips and its its kind of like a gangster movie like a crime movie but its really darkly funny also. Its funny because todd read this, the original article. He wanted the rights to it but you wanted the rights to it, i was like, wow, i would love to play this character but todd already bought the rights to the movie. You had worked with todd before. No, i never worked with todd before. You just wanted to convince him he tried to convince me. He had no idea you had a similar interest.
