Welcome to another split edition of our show on a thursday morning. Day 13 of the Olympic Games. Savannah is back in new york. I have hoda on the beach. Good day for usa yesterday and we wake up on this thursday morning and people still talking about this swimming situation. A few days left in competition and that seems to be topic one. At least this morning. Overnight that drama at the rio gunnar bentz released afford being taken off their flight home. They were on the plane and were taken off. Officials investigating their claims of being robbed. Ryan lochte already back home. We talked to him. Well tell you what he had to say. How about that showing to team usa in the 100 Meter Hurdles. Amazing. American trio completing an historic medal sweep. Gold, well celebrate with them and also with Kerri Walsh Jennings and april ross who took bronze in last nights Beach Volleyball. Very hard fought match there. A great comeback. They dominated the competition. They met zac efron. What is left for the final five . Well find out as they join us live on copacabana beach. Let us go back to new york. A lot going on in rio. Whats happening there, raging wildfire in california that has grown even larger overnight that threatens even more homes now. How are crews going to get it under control . Well take you there live when we give you the news in a couple minutes. Back to you in rio. Savannah, thank you very much. Let us begin this morning with that alleged Armed Robbery targeting ryan lochte and three teammates. Brazilian authorities investigate diskrepensy in their story. Reporter ryan lochte at home watching events unfold. Two teammates pulled from the plane interrogated for hours. Another teammate, jimmy feigen is in rio at an unknown location. Overnight two american swimmers station now at the center of an embarrassing International Incident surrounded by cameras refusing to answer questions. Ryan lochte is sticking to his story. Are you doing the same thing . Reporter hours earlier jack conger and gunnar bentz were removed from their flight. They are cooperating to the full extent theyve been able to. Are they protesting about the way their athletes are being all three were with ryan lochte when he said they were robbed at gunpoint early sunday. Lochte arriving back in North Carolina on what was a prescheduled flight wednesday hours before a brazilian judge ordered him to say. Lochte telling matt on the phone hes sticking by his story but some details have changed saying the taxi he was in was not forced off the road. They stopped at a gas station to the intense focus on this security footage showing men hours after the alleged crime. The brazilian judge says it looks like the swimmers are joking around. Lochte now telling matt they were in shock. And he says the gun was pointed at him and not held to his head as he first told todays billy bush. The guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it. Put it to my forehead. He said get down. I put my hands up. What detectives want the swimmers to explain discrepancies in their earlier stories. That snapchat video was posted at 2 25 p. M. Nearly five hours later the swimmers arrived here at the Olympic Village. The question is what happened in that time . The security footage is time stamped 6 56 a. M. Lochte and feigen told police they took a taxi from the party later. Is it really justified to pull olympic gold medal winning u. S. Athletes from a plane . There was a court order. Court orders have to be followed. And i asked the detective how long will this process take. He told me last night that is up to the court suggesting more will emerge in time saying, matt and hoda, we have got access to evidence and we are collecting thanks. Its a tricky legal situation. For more on that lets go to savannah in new york. I want to bring in nbcs chief legal correspondent. Some questions here. First of all, is lochte in the clear just by virtue of not being in brazil anymore . Is there anything that could bring him back to brazil to face these questions . For the investigation hes probably in the clear unless this actually got so much farther along that there were some kind of charges and then you could have International Proceedings around that. Gets thicker, it wont be liquid. Its hard to follow exactly why the story has changed so much which doesnt mean theyre lying. In investigations you have discrepancies but there are a lot here. Major inconsistencies thats a red flag to the brazilian authorities. What about the two athletes yanked off the plane . Whats the authority for brazilians to be able to do that and what are they facing now . Theyre subject to the laws of brazil just the United States would be subject to our laws and they do have a strong investigative format here not unlike what we consider in the United States with subpoenas where you can pull people. The decision to do it within the context of the olympics and no Greater Public evidence that were aware of does seem to be aggressive. Having said that, theyre subject to questioning and potential charges if there are false or misleading statements to authorities that could carry up to six months in brazil. Constitution they have a right to remain silent. They could actually with good lawyering stay out of most of this. That would raise potentially more questions if you were the victim of the crime, why would you need to be silent by explaining exactly what happened to you. As you said legally the soup is getting thicker. Thank you so much. Well send it back to you in rio. Savannah, thanks very much. As much as i respect ari, i dont think the story has changed all that much. There are have changed. The basics of the story have remained the same. You talked to him first. One thing were hearing thats different is that he told me that the car was sideswiped and pulled over to gas station. It was not sideswiped. Car was standing still when people came up with guns and he embellished when he told the guy, look, im not getting down on the ground. If you got a gun, you can use it. He told me that. He never had that dirty harry moment. What was his demeanor when he explained it all . He was tired and shocked that it happened. He talked about the surveillance tape of the athletes returning at 7 00. The judge said they were joking and casual. We werent joking. We were in there are skeptics who think this story was concocted to hide some kind of other embarrassing behavior. Something you didnt want people to know about. Were you with someone you shouldnt be with . He was adamant about that. He said, no, that didnt happen. We wouldnt make this story up. We were victims and were lucky and happy to be safe. Its interesting to me. I spoke to ryan lochte four hours after he got into olympic long. Hes not the kind that can weave a brilliant tale when he hasnt been out all night long. The fact he told this story makes me think he could not have invented the whole thing. Its not over. Definitely isnt. Billy, thanks. Lets move on now to the competitive action here in rio. Day 12 was another big one for team usa including history making performances on the track. Natalie is here with all of the details. What a great u. S. Women winning first gold medals in track.

When my name came up, i immediately dropped down because i was, like, yes, i did it. Im happy we were able to come out and make history. It seems like forever before your name came up. Your name came up in second place right off the bat. You must have loved your race. Im always in a position where im the one waiting did i its also close for me.

We had 24 hours to come to grips with what just happened and to fight for a chance at but emotionally to gather yourselves. Mentally. And to have to fight in that bronze medal match. You either get a medal or go home empty handed. A lot of people predicted that would be the gold medal match right there. Those two teams. You also not only had to gather yourself before the match, you had to gather yourselves during the match. You got down a comeback. Im so proud of us. We always stick together. We got our butts kicked in the first game. I knew they werent comfortable and a matter of time and april went on a digging spree. Her defense last night was insanity. It got me going around and then once we joined forces it was magic. The most decorated Beach Volleyball player in history by the way. How does that feel . It makes me very proud. Ive done it alongside people and admire and they make me better and theres no shame in a bronze medal. Im ashamed of thinking that. Interesting to hear you say that. You thought there was shame in the bronze. Thats my ego talking and ignorance to me. Its a terrible way to frame things. Because its like, we won this. We didnt lose. We won this. We lost our chance to win a gold but in tokyo ill be 80 years old. Can you see this Team Back Together in tokyo . Ill ask you . Ill look this way. I can totally see us together in tokyo.

Announcer from nbc news, this is a special edition of todays take with al roker, Natalie Morales and billy bush live from the Olympic Games in rio de janeiro, brazil. . . You know that song. Welcome to today on thursday, august 18th, 2016. Im billy bush with al and nat live in rio. You are listening to is that the back street boys . Billy said im secretly wanted to always be a back street boy. You wanted to be in a boy band . The first shoot i ever did for the today show was with a great producer named robert. We went to nsync so lou perlman had a new one down in orlando called natural. Guys, billy, its your moment. Come on, billy. I spoke too soon. Do you have a song . Al, come on. Go, billy go, billy you have to sing, billy. . . . . How about this move . New kids on the bloco. Al, that felt so good. Hes going back for more. I think al wanted to be i think hes los i think youre losing your mind. Were bringing thats back to new york. This is the jam. Oh my god where has this been my whole life . We need a station. Im just getting an iv. Keep drinking, al. You didnt even touch yours yet. We lead off with a serious rio even though hes gone. Not because of his medals. Officials are questioning his story that he and three other olympic swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early sunday morning. As a reminder heres what ryan told me about the incident. Most jarring part. We got pulled over in our taxi and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge. And then the guy pulled out his gun. He cocked it. I put my hands up. Whatever. So matt lauer spoke to ryan. He softened some of the elements of the story there. He also off camera told me the car was sideswiped by guys with badges. They pushed them toward the gas station where they pulled them over. So the sideswiping never happened. I think he told matt there was no cock and gun loaded to the forehead. Moment. He also told me he said if you got a gun, go ahead and use it. The other guys are lying on the ground. That dirty harry moment never happened. After talking to matt last night, he Still Believes the essence clearly something happened. That he feels, you know, there is something that happened. Somewhere in between. And matt did ask him is there something that youre embarrassed about that you dont want to come out . Thats the rumor here in rio is perhaps theres something that ey or maybe drank so much that they you said cameras are everywhere. I was here a couple years ago. I talked to the mayor. He brought me into the control room. They showed me there are cameras on every block. They can zero into every square meter of this city. There are 10,000 cameras throughout all of this area that were in right here. So we will know and most likely the reason they pulled these two swimmers off of the plane, they an International Incident. The fact is, this story embarrassed the host country of the olympics and so they are going to make sure that people know that maybe this is not exactly not that version of events. You said that gunnar bentz and jack conger, the two swimmers pulled off the plane and jimmy feigen r brazil and will speak today. He is said to be cooperating with law enforcement. That will be interesting. Their version of events is changing. Whether it was one guy that held the gun to two guys. Theres a lot of they reported Different Things about what actually happened that night. That sort of adding to what is already a very murky the good news is nobody got hurt. Theyre all safe. Move on. And hopefully well get to the bottom of it. Well move on but its been story, its embarrassing for our swimmers. My feeling is most of the story is true. I told matt this. When i spoke to lochte, he came in at 7 00 in the morning. I spoke to him. Its a long way to travel from Olympic Village to get to ipanema where i met him. Maximum two hours sleep if any sleep. Lochte even when hes lucid has the ability to details. Im impressed you were able to dig down and bring that word up. Thank you. Its a lovely word. Heres the question, when you talk to him, it was four or five hours after he returned to the Olympic Village. You guys were shopping. Not even. It was less. He might have been there to report what was happening at did he seem like he had been drinking . They were out. Clearly. Theyre celebrating. My thing is when youre a foreigner traveling in any country, you have to be careful and you cant put yourself in that situation where weve been warned about things that could happen here. If youre out doing the things that how about happier news. For example, americans brianna rollins, nia ali and Kristi Castlin making history as the rs sweep, one, two, three in track and field at the womens 100 Meter Hurdles last night. Also marking the first u. S. Gold medal in track at the olympics. They take this amazing photo after the race with the american flags. We had them recreate that. We recreated that today on today. The flags are perfectly lined up. Gorgeous. Whats remarkable about them said the sweetest thing is that we are genuinely friends. They celebrated together. I was watching a british announcer who was doing the race. He said could it possibly be it never happened before. A sweep for america. It is it is the women jump up together and into each others arms. It wasnt go gold, silver and bronze. And then who comes out onto the track but he was here on our show earlier. Hes just the cutest little kid. Hes absolutely delicious. Big Boomer Phelps is upset about this. Hes not into his personality yet. This young lad at 15 months very impressive. He probably wont remember this but some day look back at the pictures and know what the moment meant to us. Lets get a check of the weather, roker. Well show you what we have. Unfortunately. That crazy fire going on right now just outside of los angeles. You can see we have red flag warnings and fire weather watches from california all of the way up into the Pacific Northwest. Blue cut fire over 25,000 acres. Its about 4 contained. And bad problem is weve got winds. Winds from the northwest at 40mileperhour gusts. 30mileperhour gusts in Southern California and the heat is a big problem. Temperatures 5 to 15 degrees above average. Low humidity. And the heat look at the Pacific Northwest. Were talking record setting heat as we get into this weekend with temperatures into the upper 80s and low to mid 90s and in fact as you get into the heart of it, look at these temperatures. Eugene, oregon, 100 on saturday. 105 in medford. Portland will see a high of 101 degrees. Thats pointing to a more humid day a thunderstorm later this afternoon. In between we should get breaks of sunshine, tomorrow, but still the chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm. In fact the tenday forecast shows that risk into the weekend. Steamy saturday, but then finally relief next week. Monday through thursday with sunshine and low humidity, nighttime lows in the 60s. And thats your latest weather.

Matt and his dad share the same name and went to the same college and now theyre twotime olympians. Dad, matthew, one of the fastest runners during the 1970s and early 80s.

We have a story about an unlikely olympian. I love this story. Twotime allamerican wrestler at the university of iowa but two years ago decided to take a mental and physical break from the sport. He buys a pickup for 500 bucks and travels out west living out of the truck for five months before he m i years climbing rocks and doing soul searching and he couldnt stop thinking about the sport he loved wrestling. So last year daniel decides to make a comeback. Starts training again with his wrestling club. Tries out for the u. S. Olympic wrestling team and wins.
