If phelps was a country by himself, he would have more gold medals than all about 32 of the 205 countries competing in these games. Michael, good morning. How are you doing . Good. Just kind of trying to let everything set in. It wont for a while. Its been pretty awesome the last couple days being able to spend time with boomer and the family and seeing everybody before they took off either this morning or yesterday. Its the best way to finish. You know that old expression, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, same on me. We sat in london and you said done, done, done. Youre going to get the same response here. Done, done, done. And this time i mean it. I think like we talked early in the year i wanted to come back and finish the career the way i wanted. This was the cherry on top of the cake. You told me when we got together that you fell in love with swimming again. So im wondering if now you wont miss it more. After london you werent in love with swimming. I thought i can understand why he would want to get out. What about now . For me now its just being able to i think the biggest thing between now and london is i was so much more emotional during these games. I think that showed at times on camera. I think thats the difference because i knew this was the last time. I knew this was the last race i ever had and last olympics that i ever had. Everything just really hit hard. And i guess some of it some people saw where as soon as i walked into warmdown pool that friday night the tears started filling my eyes. Bob and i shared some of those emotional moments together. My last warm up. Last warm down. Last time putting on a suit. Last cold tub. Is this the last time we get i have a feeling not. You always kind of give me the straight arm when i ask you about your olympic goals, which i understood. What about personal goals now . What do you want to do as a 31 year old leaving swimming behind with a long life ahead of you. This is a part of my life where i get to start this whole new chapter. Continuing to build a family with nicole and continue to travel and change the sport of swimming in some way that i can. I really want to try to not only in the u. S. But also change the drowning race that we have. Thats a goal of mine. Weve been able to teach thousands of kids. I want numbers higher. We have a full plate of schedule and things. I still have goals. Ryan lochte has had a rough 24 hours. Hes okay. Before the incident with the robbery he stopped by here. I want to show you what he said. I heard what he said. Can you look in the camera and say, michael, i will see you in tokyo. I guarantee hell be there. I think so. I really think so. So michael, ill see you in tokyo. He might be there. I wont be. Ill be there watching. Cheering everybody on. I will not be in the pool competing. Last thing people often wonder about the future of swimming without Michael Phelps. Would you look across there for a second and is the future in good hands with the young lady named Katie Ledecky. We are in great shape. Not only with katie but with the team that we have now. Katie is doing her thing and shes breaking records every time she gets in the pool. You know, its been an honor to be part of the team with her and some of the younger guys we have coming up in the sport that are going to take over. I told a bunch of them i wont be far away. If they ever need anything, to reach out. Its been a passion of mine and big sport for me and help the guys as much as i can. Thank you for giving us a front row seat to a great run. Congratulations. Hoda . Katie, while michael is still over there, how about if you look at michael and tell us what impact has he had on swimming. I mean, hes been your mentor throughout this. A huge impact on a lot of the young swimmers that are on the team this year. We all looked up to him when we were 6 years old and to be on a team i didnt mean it like that. Im sorry. Its just i started watching him when i was 6 years old first starting to get into the sport and to be on a team is an honor and to see his impact in the pool and outside of the pool. Thats why we came away with these medals. Matt asked you to write the headline. Your headline was Katie Ledecky had fun. Tell us, how much fun did you have when you were at the Olympic Games . I had a ton of fun. I had my goals in the water, but one of those goals was just to have fun. I couldnt have asked for a better time here with my teammates seeing them succeed and the fun we had outside of the water as well. It was the best. She looked like she was smiling in the pool sometimes when you were swimming. You had a smile. Were you feeling that good when you were racing . Its fun to swim fast, yeah. Im happy with how this whole week has gone. Talk about swimming fast in the 800 you crushed the competition and beat your own world record by two seconds. Afterwards you said Something Like i just thought i would go for it. Makes it sound like you can drop a world record at will. Is that the case these days . Its never easy to break a world record. It takes a lot of hard work and every day getting into the pool and giving it my all and it was my last race of the meet here and i wanted to remember it really well. A lot of hometown love. Youre from maryland. Capitals we nationals playing a game against the braves. They decided just to stop and watch you on the big screen. Were you able to see a clip of that . I saw a clip of that. What does that make you feel like knowing the hometown crowd is cheering like that. It means so much to me to have the support from maryland and the d. C. Area. Ive received so many messages from everybody back home. I cant wait to get back home and celebrate with them. Katie, michael over there, the usa is awfully proud. Congratulations on great Olympic Games. Michael, thank you, bud. All right. Lets go back to savannah in new york city. All right, guys. So fun to see those swimmers. Were rooting for them hard here for sure. Lets turn to the news now. Frightening moments for passengers and workers at new yorks jfk airport after reports that shots had been fired. Police evacuated terminal a at 9 30 last night. Flights were temporarily grounded. Multiple emergency agencies rushed to the scene and terminal one was also evacuated. This all started when a woman coming off a plane said she thought she had heard gunfire. It turns out cheering, clapping and loud celebrations from people watching, yes, the olympics may have been misinterpreted as a fight and gunshots. Both terminals were searched and cleared and things are back to normal there. Now to politics and major developments in the president ial race this morning. The conservative oped page of the wall street journal is calling on the Republican Party to essentially abandon donald trump if he doesnt change his ways on the campaign trail. Nbcs Hallie Jackson with the latest on all of it. Good morning. Good morning. Donald trump is making clear where he stands tweeting he will not change, that he is who he is, pushing back against any talk of a pivot as his Campaign Hits back now this morning against a new report linking his top adviser to russia. This morning new questions about trumps ties to russia. A New York Times report linking his top aide to russia. Paul manaforts name appears saying he was paid 13 million in Cash Payments over a fiveyear period. The report not verified by nbc news. Overnight the clinton camp pouncing saying in a statement, trump has a responsibility to disclose any advisers ties to russian or prokremlin entities. Paul manafort responding saying i never received a single off the books cash payment as falsely reported by the New York Times nor have i done work for the governments of ukraine or russia calling the suggestion he accepted Cash Payments unfounded, silly and nonsensical among a blistering ultimatum by the wall street journal saying if by labor day donald trump doesnt shape up, the gop should walk away. Trump needs to stop blaming everyone else and decide if he wants to behave like someone who wants to be president or turn the nomination to mike pence. Another round of trump versus the media. Im not running against crooked hillary clinton. Im running against the crooked media. The candidate in a tweet storm argues he would be winning by 20 points if it werent for what he considers unfair coverage. Hes appearing before 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, that shows you the Campaign Work contrary to what the media is saying. Trump will be out on the campaign trail focused on Foreign Policy today. In a security speech, a Senior Adviser telling nbc trump will paint the fight against isis as an ideological battle.
