energy lives here. thanks for joining us, everybody. >> "aehq" starts now. good afternoon. and we start out with a fox news alert. donald trump about to board a plane in baton rouge, louisiana, on his way to michigan, this after shaking up his campaign staff yet again as well as his schedule. hello, everyone, i'm heather nauert. the trump team taking a detour to flood-soaked spots of louisiana instead of a campaign stop to new york city. then they'll move on to michigan. they'll do so with new leadership taking the reign. the former head of breitbart news, steve ban bannon, now at the top of the campaign, while

paul manafort steps down. carl, how does this all unfold? >> reporter: it's been in the works several weeks now. donald trump has been shaking up his team periodically throughout the entirety of his campaign. paul manafort was his second campaign boss. as you said, steve bannon becomes the third. in addition to mr. bannon, there's also the pollster who is now the technical campaign manager, kellyanne conway. and she's been on tv a lot, speaking for the campaign, and has actually thrown a couple of criticisms at mr. trump as well as the media in just the last few days. evolution was complete with the resignation this morning of paul manafort which donald trump suggested. eric trump, donald's son, suggested what was going on was mr. trump was essentially trying to send the distraction that was some of the problems circling around mr. manafort's role as campaign chairman. there have been a series of of reports and increasing criticism

from democrats about paul man manafo manafort's work for the pro-russian political party in ukraine and his work with the then-president between 2007 and 2012, victoriktor yanukovych. these connections and some of the business that mr. manafort had done may not have been adequately disclosed in the u.s., whether he was a foreign agent for a foreign country or not. he insists he was not, but there were an onslaught of reports in "the new york times" and elsewhere that were raising this. >> some republicans certainly concerned about that work that he did on behalf of that pro-russian political party in the ukraine. i want to mention to our viewers, we just saw a picture of donald trump and also mike pence boarding that plane to head up to massachusetts, wrapping up their trip down in st. louis.

carl, they'll catch up with you in just a little bit. thank you so much, carl cameron. doesn't taki donald trump admitting he may have made some mistakes on the campaign trail. listen to this. >> sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. i have done that. and believe it or not, i regret it. >> wow. "i regret it." his new campaign manager, kellyanne conway, says there may be more apologies on the way, including one to the gold star khan family. >> he may. i certainly hope they heard him last night and i certainly hope america heard him last night. because of all the people who have been saying, hey, let's get trump to pivot and be more

presidential, that is presidential. >> let's talk to a former breitbart spokesperson. are they now on track with their campaign? >> i think at the end of the day, one speech, one day on message doesn't make an entire campaign and doesn't erase an entire year's body of work where trump has been off discipline, off prompter, liable to say anything that comes to his mind. there is a real question as to whether or not this is a temporary situation or if this is a real long term pattern of behavior. only time will tell if this holds up. the question is will this disciplined trump really hold up. >> he got a lot of kudos for last night's apologizing in a sense, but with the news coming out this morning about paul manafort's resignation, it seems like he sort of stepped on his message a little bit. i could have had the opportunity to have let that breathe and let it be the headline that he said he regretted things, and instead, we're focusing on what happened with paul manafort.

>> again, another example of the trump team not having their act together. you would think there would have been an opportunity to have the paul situation dismissed when they announced the coming of bannon and conway. instead they stepped on their own news, allowing a campaign story becoming the headline. it tells you a little bit that this campaign isn't really operating on full cylinder. >> you could argue that paul manafort had been a real distraction, the news about accepting the millions of dollars from that pro-russian party in the ukraine. you might see how the trump campaign would just kind of want that off to the side. >> well, it's very clear that was only getting worth. every day there are new stories about what the involvement was, new questions about his involvement, the clinton campaign has been effectively driving that. any time a member of the staff becomes a real distraction to

the campaign and the message of the day, you have to take a look at side lining him. it's something everyone saw coming when ban on anon and kele were brought on board. i was just surprised they didn't announce it sooner. >> you used to work at breitbart, steve bannon was your boss, i note parting wasn't completely amicable. what can you tell us in a fair fashion what it was like working for him and what we might expect from his leadership of the trump campaign? >> steve governs by fear. he's a bit of a dictator of a character, known for making midnight, profanity-laced tirades of phone calls. he's a hardworking guy, he works nonstop, 24/7, you need that in the campaign atmosphere. but i think it will remain to be seen how he involves and interacts with the actual campaign team, and if how he

acted and conducted himself at breitbart is any indication, it will make working with easy in . >> three campaign managers during the term of the campaign so far, they're certainly going through them. if last night is any indication, that speech, he's getting kudos for that for sure. kurt, thank you so much, always great to see you. american swimmer ryan lochte apologizing this morning for his behavior when three and his teammates and he trashed a gas station when drunk and lied to police about it. the two others, gunnar bentz and jack conger, arrived home last night after being pulled off their flight by brazilian police to answer questions. it hasn't been a distraction to other team members of team usa. >> actually i don't know. i've got the updates from "usa today" about what's going on.

but i'm sure there's multiple sides to the story. i'm anxious to see what's going to happen, actually. >> we all are anxious to see what happens. steve harrigan joins us live from rio, hi there, steve. >> reporter: heather, the story still not over yet. as of now, three of the four u.s. swimmers accused of making a false report of being robbed at gunpoint are back in the u.s. two of them arrived in miami this morning, one day after being taken off a flight here in rio by federal police and interrogated at a police station here. the fourth swimmer still in brazil, jimmy feigen, has to pay a fine of $11,000 to charity, for making a false police report. after that, it's expected they will let him go home, give him back his passport. as far as apologies go, the u.s. olympic committee has apologized to brazil for all the distractions its athletes caused. as you mentioned, ryan lochte apologized on social media. he said he was sorry for taking attention away from the olymp n

olympians. he also pointed out that he and the other swimmers did have a gun pointed at them and had to hand over money before being allowed to leave, so a half apology. crowds in brazil are chanting, "liar, liar." the mayor says he has pity and contempt for lochte after his apology. let's not forget about the games. the medal count favors the u.s. at this point. the u.s. has 100 medal overall, almost double of its nearest competitors, china and great britain. >> steve harrigan live in rio, thank you. back at home, fire crews in southern california now gaining ground on the massive blue cut wildfire. it's burned 60 square miles since it broke out tuesday morning, racing through the bone-dry terrain in the san bernardino mountains, that's an east of los angeles. officials now say it's about 26% contained.

while some evacuated residents are allowed to return home, other communities are still under threat. mario ramirez joins us live from our position affiliate in west cajon valley in southern california. hour are things looking now? >> reporter: heather, a lot of progress made in just the last 12 hours. and today, thousands of residents are being allowed brac into their homes. unfortunately many of them returning to devastation and destruction like this. this area about 60 miles east of los angeles, and just one residential area completely torched by the blue cut fire. 2600 crews from the region have been assisting. we know half of the evacuations have been lifted east of the 15 freeway, a major connection from southern california to las vegas that just reopened.

but unfortunately some of those areas are still under evacuation orders and have attracted looters, people attempting to take advantage of empty homes here. the first day of this fire crews had zero containment, so this is a huge update, 26% contained as firefighters continue to tackle the blue cut fire. that's the latest from here in southern california, i'm mario ramirez, back to you in the studio. >> thank you very much, mario. those fires can be so frightening, they change directions as the wind most around. stay safe, mario. the white house is differentiating between leverage and ransom involving the $400 million payment to iran. libertarian and presidential candidate gary johnson weighs in, next.

and is this a prison weapon or a government-sanctioned tool to use armor to protect our troops? the frightening and surprising answer coming up, stick around. tim and heather were wide awake... worrying about their bills. then they refinanced their mortgage and began saving hundreds per month. hello sweet dreams. buy in. quicken loans. home buy. refi. power.

at safelite, we know how busy life can be. these kids were headed to their first dance recital... ...when their windshield got cracked... ...but they couldn't miss the show. so dad went to the new safelite-dot-com. and in just a few clicks, he scheduled a replacement... ...before the girls even took the stage. safelite-dot-com is the fast, easy way to schedule service anywhere in america! so you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! that's another safelite advantage. (girls sing) safelite repair, safelite replace.

welcome back. quarter past the hour. the u.s. state department admitting a $400 million cash payment that was made to iran was in fact contingent upon the release of those american prisoners. but officials there still won't call it a ransom payment. instead, they're saying, listen to this, it's a bargain. listen. >> we felt it was in the taxpayers' interests to go ahead and use those open channels of negotiation to close out this particular issue, this issue of the $400 million, and the interest that had been accruing

since 1979. and we were able to negotiate a much better payment schedule for the interest at $1.3 billion, much better than had we let it fester and wait and just pursue. >> all right. so it's a good deal for us. are we supposed to believe that? governor gary johnson, libertarian presidential candidate and former governor of new mexico. governor, welcome. what do you make of that statement from the state department? >> well, it should have happened when this initially happened. i do agree with the verbal gymnastics. but, you know, the iran deal, originally my concern was, was that, you know, they're the largest funder of terrorism in the world. the deal has been signed. it really hasn't been made public in any way whatsoever. but my understanding is we can and will be able to monitor this going forward. so as president of the united

states, you know, i'm going to honor all treaties and obligations, and in this case be optimistic that we can actually not see any nuclear weapons from iran. but that said -- >> if you had been president, would you have agreed to this iran nuclear deal? would you have presented it in this way and signed off on it? >> perhaps not. but what is done is done. and part of that deal, from my understanding, that we owe them $160 billion, now, that's the high number, i realize there are variances of those numbers. so when they come out today and they say -- or yesterday, they come out and clarify it, why didn't they just say that at the very get-go? >> the problem is they're still not saying it. it's very clear that it was a ransom payment. and what has so many americans upset, and perhaps people interested in your campaign, is that we have some in the democratic party calling white

black and black white. americans look at this and say it doesn't make any sense, it's ransom, heck, call it ransom, don't call it something else. >> i wouldn't call it ransom. but i do think that they've got a real communication error here in not stating it. look, we owe them whatever it is we owe them as part of this deal. and we've got hostages. the fact that those get linked up, i wouldn't call it ransom. i mean, this was the way the administration dealt with it. i think they could have chosen their words a lot better. if they would have just started out by explaining it that way, you know, that's the whole advantage of communication and transparency, something i think was really lacking here. >> if the roles had been reversed, they would never give us that money, and in fact we have americans still over there, such as bob levinson, a former fbi agent. we have a lot of news to cover. the clinton foundation

announcing it will stop accepting foreign donations and corporate cash, only if hillary clinton is elected president. some critics are saying they should have stopped this a long time ago. governor, what do you think about that? should the clinton foundation stop accepting corporate donations and money from countries overseas? >> well, heather, you hit it on the head. look, they should have been doing this a long time ago. hillary clinton as secretary of state? i mean, it's just pay to play. plain and simple. and they gets elected president and they're going to stop this, you know, this activity? well, she was secretary of state. and this activity went on, and i think there was a lot of quid pro quo involved in that. >> governor, you're polling at about 10% nationwide right now. that's going pretty well for you. you have to make 15% or closer than that to qualify for the debates. what do you think is going to

happen? >> heather, i think we're going to qualify. i think all of our analytics are doubling about every three weeks, so right now we're reaching about 27 million people on social media, given the amount of money that we're now raising, i think there's a real opportunity to inform 70% of the population about who we are. myself, bill weld, my running mate, two former republican governors that got reelected in heavily democrat states being fiscally conservative and socially inclusive, i think there's a lot to be said, when our records come under the scrutiny that they are now coming under, that there's a real attraction there. there is something there. we were successful in our states as governors. >> all right, governor gary johnson from new mexico. sir, thank you so much for joining us, presidential candidate from the libertarian party. i'll come knock on your door and

say hi in new mexico. >> do, invitation. deaths in the united states from opioid overdoses climbing to record high in recent years. so how do the two presidential nominees from the major parties plan to tackle that growing crisis? plus flood damage in louisiana drawing comparisons to super storm sandy, with tens of thousands of people losing everything, including their homes. why it may be proving difficult to get these communities back up and running. that's coming up next. at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like grandkids equals free tech support. oh, look at you, so great to see you! none of this works. come on in. ...cleasee ya!ake off. when you're living with diabetes. steady is exciting. oh this is living baby! only glucerna has carbsteady,

this is a disturbing trend that so many families are affected by right now.

the cdc reporting that nearly 30,000 americans are dying each year from opioid overdoses. that includes heroin and prescription painkillers. those numbers are expected to get worse. the issue has been a hot topic on the campaign trail. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live with the story. >> reporter: overdoses have surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death in the united states, killing someone every 19 minutes according to government statistics. the crisis forcing presidential candidates to weigh in. >> this is a major epidemic. >> our kids are being poisoned, they're being addicted. >> reporter: both hillary clinton and donald trump acknowledge the gravity of the opioid crisis in the united states. but how they would attack the problem is vastly different. >> i will cut off the source. build a wall. >> i have laid out a five-point plan about what we can do

together. i would like the federal government to offer $10 billion over ten years. >> reporter: clinton's proposal would work with states on prevention, treatment, and recovery, provide training for prescribers and first responders, along with ending incarceration for low level and nonviolent offenders, a proposal that addiction experts agree with. >> we need access to these services for people. right now we're only treating at best maybe 15% of the people who need it. >> i'm going to create borders. no drugs are coming in. >> reporter: on his website, trump's proposal is less detailed and only includes building a wall along the border to keep drugs out and providing help for addicts. >> we haven't seen a plan from him. we are urged him and looking forward to seeing how he would like to address this issue. >> reporter: the candidates are particularly focused on the issue in states like west virginia, where on monday more than two dozen heroin overdoses

were reported in one city in just four hours. and also in new hampshire, where state officials have confirmed more than 160 deaths from opioid overdoses just this year, heather. >> such a national tragedy that tears so many families apart, drug addictions, and that kind of outcome. jonathan, thank you so much. the candidates have a lot more to answer for. does this look like a possible prison weapon or is it a government-sanctioned tool used to make critical armor to protect our troops? the answer is coming up next, and it's a little bit frightening. donald trump is visiting louisiana while president obama goes golfing? does trump's appearance magnify the president's absence? >> we knew you would be here for us! real cheese people,

another bus just as the morning rush hour was getting under way. at least seven of the injured were listed in critical condition. if you saw the bus, one kind of t-boned the other and one went straight over on its side. witnesses say one of the buses was trying to beat a red light when that crash occurred. at least 13 people have died in louisiana following that disastrous flooding that took place in parts of that state. the high-rising waters also displacing homeowners by the thousan thousands. many of them are now having a hard time finding someplace to go. casey stegall is live for us in downtown baton rouge, louisiana, with an update. so many people have lost their homes and also their lives, casey. >> reporter: heather, hard to really wrap your mind around, when you talk about 40,000 plus homes that have been damaged or destroyed with this historic flooding. people trickling in and out of the baton rouge river center

back here behind me. it is the largest emergency shelter that has been set up. there are 28 total shelters open across the region. the american red cross tells us that there are 1,000 people at this single spot, 3,000 victims spread out in other locations, many with only the clothes on their back. fema is working on plans for temporary housing to be brought in among other necessities. while out in the flood-ravaged neighborhoods, canine units with louisiana's task force 1 working alongside the fire marshal's office, conducting secondary sweeps of homes and businesses. the dogs specially trained to debt human remains, additional victims who may not have made it out alive. all of this as many rescue workers are victims themselves. >> as they try to cope with their own personal losses, many

of those first responders are here with us, sitting in this command center today, out in the field today, trying to assist others in the community. but that's our job. that's why we're in public safety. and that's part of the mission. >> reporter: can you imagine working, even though your own family is displaced? nearly 90,000 residents have already registered for federal disaster assistance. everyone here in it for the long haul. this will no doubt be a lengthy and very difficult road to recovery, heather. >> casey, they are such heroes, being able to be so selfless and take care of so many people and their own families are struggling at home. thank you so much. please let them now our prayers are with them. donald trump and his running mate governor mike pence touring flood ravaged parts of louisiana. many residents who lost their homes have expressed frustration that president obama has not come down there to visit and see

the devastation for himself. the republican nominee's presence is considered welcomed. listen. >> we lost everything but we knew you would come. this makes it all worthwhile. >> we love you! >> what's your message to louisiana? >> we want to help out. >> a little hard to hear there but you heard him say he's going to help out. earlier today his son eric trump had this to say about the president's vacation. >> it's disgusting that the president is in martha's vineyard playing golf while people's lives are ruined, people are dead, you have caskets floating down the street, and the president, elected by the people, can't stop a round of golf to check in on the victims of this tragedy. >> leslie rutledge is a trump

surrogate. all the presidential candidates should be there, including the president, what do you think? >> absolutely. i agree with eric trump that it is absolutely appalling that our president is in martha's vineyard golfing while we have such devastation in america, in louisiana. i just got off the phone earlier today with the attorney general of louisiana, jeff landry, talking to him about the sort of devastation, the 40,000, 50,000 individuals who have been impacted by this. and i feel good knowing that the individual i'm supporting for president, donald trump, is down there meeting with people, letting them know that help is on the way, that we will be there in louisiana to help them, to get them through this recovery period. >> leslie, on the other hand, the governor of that state of louisiana, governor jon edwards, a democrat, by the way, said, quote, we welcome him to louisiana, meaning trump, but not for a photo op. instead we hope we'll consider

volunteering or making a sizable donation to the flood relief fund to help victims of the storm. fair point? >> certainly that's the governor's prerogative, if he wants to turn away someone who may be the next president. i would like to see the current president be supportive of the people in louisiana who are going through this tragedy. they've lost their homes, they've lost their lives and we must rally around them and send them the support that they need. having mr. trump on the ground sends the signal that the top office in the land, if he is elected in november, will be there for them each and every time there is a disaster. we have california on fire right now. we have louisiana in floods. where is barack obama? he's on the gulf course, exactly where he should not be. with hillary clinton, it would be the same old same old. >> secretary of homeland security said basically the president can't be everywhere, which is certainly a fair point, i mean, he literally can't be everywhere. i believe we have a clip from him. okay. we don't have a clip from him.

but, you know, a fair point, that the president can't be everywhere? >> certainly he can't be everywhere, but where he should not be is on the golf course when we have such devastation in louisiana, when we have fires raging in california. he should be exactly where donald trump is, that's wrapping his arms around the people of louisiana, great americans down there, fighting for their lives, putting their homes and their lives back together, wondering whether or not they will have a next meal, would they even have a refrigerator to have that meal out of. that's where candidates should be. >> hillary clinton is taking a break today, taking a rest today off the campaign trail, and tomorrow as well, and then she has an event in massachusetts i believe with cher on sunday. so some would argue she should be there as well. many of our viewers will recall that president obama spoke about the beheading the james foley, the american reporter by jihadi john in syria, then the president quickly went to play golf after that, then went on to say he regrets that. i think a lot of americans would

like to see our president and our leaders there. leslie rutledge, have a great weekend, we're hoping for the best for everybody in louisiana. fallout from swimmer ryan lochte's allegations of being robbed at gunpoint in rio. meantime one olympic fan had this to say after two of lochte's teammates arrived back in miami. >> you know, don't let this get you down. i don't think real sports fans are going to worry about this. you know, you're young, and this will pass. i told them to take tonight off, tomorrow start training for tokyo. ♪

i'll ask him about the big changes we're seeing with the republican nominee. and there is zika in south beach, miami. the breaking health news on this friday. see you at the top of the hour on "shepard smith reporting." new concerns about the safety of our u.s. military after a watchdog group discovered that thousands of combat helmets made by federal prison inmates were defective. doug mckelway is live in washington with the story. doug, first of all, folks will be surprised to hear that prison inmates w some of our military hall melelmets. but how did this happen that they're defective and are in the field right now? >> reporter: no longer, heather. a company called armor source was awarded a $30 million contract to make this advanced combat helmets. these are the helmets that replaced the old heavy steel world war ii era helmets with

layer upon layer of kevlar fabric, which is supposed to stop bullets and shrapnel. inmates made the kevlar combat helmets. they did a lousy job. inmates took defective helmets, of which there were many, then repressed them, filling the depressed area with kevlar scrap or dust, which w. the staff falsely certified the helmets were in conforms with specifications, altered serial numbers on the hall melelmetheld improvised tools to fix the weapons. the cost to taxpayers totaled more than $19 million when the helmets were recalled.

the beaumont, texas plant where the helmets were manufactured was closed down. the helmets have been recalled and replaced now. the u.s. army said as a result of the recall, armor source helmets were returned and disposed of. sufficient helmets were procured from other contracts to compensate for the recalls. inmates should stick to making license plates or at least be better supervised. >> or bed mattresses, they work on those as well. we want to keep all our troops safe. thank you. the olympic swimmer, we've been telling you a lot about this one, ryan lochte now posting an apology on instagram after the alleged robbery, now not a robbery incident at a gas station in brazil, lochte saying, quote, i want to apology

for my behavior for not being more careful and candid in how i described the events of that early morning and my role taking the focus away from athletes participating in the olympics. meantime two of lochte's fellow swimmers arriving back in the united states. >> reporter: the brazilian government says they may charge you guys for false report and vandalism. do you have any response? they say they think you were lying. >> no comments from jack conger and gunnar bentz at the miami airport after returning from brazil, after testifying that lochte is the one who lied about the robbery. joining us now, brian claypool, a criminal defense attorney, and a reporter from "the wall street journal." ryan lochte apologized, he said he should have been more careful and candid. now what happens? >> well, we'll see what happens

for ryan lochte going forward. there's still a chance he could see some discipline action from the usoc. they could suspend him. i think the apology is important. i think the usoc was very angry with him, and now, you know, there was some report he might get a lifetime ban from swimming, and he does want to swim at the olympics in tokyo. we'll see what happens going forward. >> on the one hand he's represented the united states on a huge platform, and it's an honor to represent our country. should he have done or said more? >> heather, the apology by ryan lochte is well short of the consequences that he should face as a result of lying to law enforcement. this is much bigger than ryan lochte. i'm a single father of a 10-year-old girl. she's watched the olympics with me. she's aware of what happened. she's asking me, hey, daddy, what happens when you lie, don't you tell me there are

consequences? the bigger message here is, what are we saying to the youth of the united states and internationally? we're saying it's okay, as a public figure, to go out and party all night, go vandalize property, and then lie knowingly about what happened to law enforcement, and then face zero consequences. what does that tell the youth, heather? that's the bigger issue here. >> a lot of americans could relate to this, you're in a country that's dangerous, that has a certain amount of corruption, that's known for its crime. a stranger points a gun at your head and starts demanding money of some sort, we know that that took place. can you blame them for being concerned and saying that something might have happened, especially when they had been out drinking and admit that? >> heather, it's one thing to be concerned about the vandalism and then a security guard pulls out a gun and says, we've got to take care of this. by the way, they've committed a crime, so in my opinion the security guard did have a right to pull out a weapon.

but that's not the biggest issue. it's what happened after the vandalism. maybe ryan gets a hall pass if he does the vandalism but comes clean. but to go out then, canvass international tv and make up a story almost like a sociopath about what happened to come off like a hero, that's where i draw the line in the sand. he should face legal consequences. >> jeff, another swimmer, jimmy feigen, has to pay $10,800 to some sort of charity because a judge said so. is that a shakedown? >> i think he could theoretically get criminal charges for, you know, giving a false statement to the brazilian police. we knew all along it was going to be a fine and this is it. i think at this point he just wants to get out of the country, and $11,000 or whatever it is, that will get him out of the country. so i think -- i don't really know if it's a shake down per se. i think it's sort of standard in terms of like he would have been

find in some capacity. >> all right. jeff, thank you so much, from "the wall street journal," sports editor there, and brian claypool, a criminal attorney. , drag racers -- they still have these things -- they're getting rubbed up. jeff flock is a lucky guy. >> first ever street legal drag racing outside. we'll give you a ride in a dodge hellcat. stay tuned.
