Word to use theyd stayed with the swimmers. Theyd stayed with the swimmers. And this driver, when he heard the news, he called in the information that he heard from his taxi, and he brought this to the attention of the police unit. And that began to tell us that the athletes or at least one of them had a motive, perhaps, to tell a story that was different from the real one. This had not been disseminated previously. Now we can reveal this. Several measures were taken. We looked for images, we collected images from closed circuit cameras at the gas station and other places and their arrival at the olympic village, and we began to investigate. The unit for serving citizens is a special unit to liaison with the citizens, and we sought people who had the real version of what happened and that this, perhaps, was not a real robbery, but they entered in contact with the Police Chiefs headquarters, and these individuals, these citizens who said they had knowledge of the true happenings had a were reluctant to enter in contact with the police because they were afraid of retaliation because these were international athletes, and there might be retaliation. It took us a while to communicate with these individuals. They understood the importance these were the security guards who have already been interviewed by the police. And based on their testimony, we began to build the real story of what happened. Based on those, the testimony of those security guards we started interviewing other witnesses. One of those witnesses just arrived at the unit now and is being interviewed. As i said, this is currently in action. Were still interviewing people. The driver who drove the athletes also has been interviewed. He appeared at the unit. He was, he was interviewed, and he confirmed the version that the police thought was probable. The Police Detectives were put into action and began to do their work at the gas station and apparently were able to determine that acts of vandalism had been perpetrated by one or more of the athletes. Perhaps dr. Braga can give more details. Those are the details we have, but ill try, ill try to diminish the number of questions you have. [speaking in native tongue] translator and try to give as much information as we have. No questions for the moment, please. At this exact moment, what the police can confirm is there was no robbery in the way that it was reported by the athletes. They were not the victims of the criminal facts that they described. The police can already confirm this. Since there are still investigations in, ongoing investigations, as a matter of fact, with interviews with two of the athletes, we dont have the complete picture, so we cant answer all of your questions. What will they what crimes will they have to answer for, we cant answer that. Why . Because we are still trying to conclude our investigation. We have to finish hearing everybody. We need to see what the conduct of each athlete to see if they have any responsibility for those acts. What is the most likely story, the real story . And, again, we are still hearing witness testimony, and the story can change. So its already premature to talk about any repercussions. The athletes left their, where they were coming from. They went to the gas station, they went to the bathroom, and on purpose one or more than one of them were still investigating began to commit acts of vandalism in the bathroom at the gas station. Breaking mirrors and other equipment. This led to a certain confusion at the gas station. Employees of the gas station tried to control this situation. The images also show the athletes going back to the cab and trying to leave liz and there you have it, there were no victims, there was no robbery. We have rio police now saying that they have multiple witnesses and videotape from all kinds of surveillance cameras that indicate the story that u. S. Swimmers ryan lochte, james fighten and gunner benz told that they were robbed at gunpoint in rio and had their possessions taken was simply not true. This is a video that you see in some cases, and depending on exactly what has been revealed to the press and to the public, they showed up at a gas station and, according to reports, they broke down a door, they were apparently intoxicated, threw stones, tore down a sign, urinated in the street. Drivers have been interviewed, lots of witnesses. And as you heard it, no robbery, they were not victims. The big question is, if this is a crime in rio or in brazil, will they be hauled back . Will they be requested to come and face charges . Were watching all of that and more, and weve got a whole bunch of other news that is breaking at this moment. We have to tell you that we are watching the situation in louisiana as well. At any minute now, secretary of Homeland Security jeh johnson is expected to join local officials in baton rouge, louisiana. Why does that matter . Folks, you may think its in louisiana and not your state, this will affect fema, this will affect residents, thousands and thousands of residents, and it is a danger. We have bodies that are floating up, corpses in cars that are being found. Were going to get you that as soon as jeh johnson gets in front of the microphonings. On wall street the dow is seeking direction, and there is this unanswered question did dow component cisco try to soften the blow of megaca job cuts by leaking an uglier picture before the real revelation that wasnt as bad . Right now cisco down 1 . Were looking into that. We have spoken to the company, you need to hear what they say about that accusation. And we have jail stocks at this hour, prison stocks getting punished after a report that the Justice Department is going to stop using private prisons. Boy, when you get the federal business taken away, you can imagine that corrections Companies Like corrections corp. Would be hit. They are. You dont often see this kind of fall for a stock, but weve got geo down 38 , corrections corp. Down 36 . Twitter cannot catch a break today. Just days after getting a bump from reports apple tv would be adding a twitter app, a quick to the solar plexus. Shares of the social media site falling 5. 5 , increased competition from rival snapchat, thats why it was downgradd. Theres one bright piece of news here, hormel. Yep, eating a successful quarter up. The maker of spam beating profit estimates in fiscal q3, up about 1. 75 at the moment. The breaking news in louisiana at this hour, as you see, we are waiting for u. S. Secretary of Homeland Security jeh johnson in baton rouge. He is expected to hold a News Conference with local authorities to give us the latest on the situation there. Were going to britain that to you bring that to you when it happens. Why is this so serious . Look at this, horrific images from the flooding. This on your screen is a coffin from a graveyard a that was unearthed after a constant rain. People have had to tie them to trees to make sure they dont float away. Here are the latest numbers, 37 killed 13 killed, 30,000 people rescued. The water is flowing so quickly that you can see on your screen, people cant even stand up straight in it. 1,400 bridges need to be inspected prior to being reopened, so this is affecting transit right and left. The Economic Impact expected, well, right now its only 1. 5 billion. That numbers going to rise much, much higher, we can guarantee you that. While floodravaged communities and businesses struggle with the aftermath, officials now worry tens of thousands of homes or were not protected by flood insurance. Lets get to republican senator bill calferty, u. S. Senator who during Hurricane Katrina mobilized volunteers and, sir, you set up a Health Care Operation back during katrina in an abandoned kmart. Thank you for joining us live. Youre no stranger to dealing with these kinds of natural disasters, but we are hearing that a womans corpse was found trapped in a car. How many more of these do you expect . So they are actively surveying the homes and the abandoned vehicle i nt think therell be that much more of a body count, principally because of what we call the cajun navy. Folks getting in their bass boats, going out and finding people who needed to be rescued and bringing them back. So the cajun navy really bailed us out to, if you will. Maybe 20,000 rescues. Liz more rain is coming today, in fact, it may have already started. What is not being done that you need to have done right now, senator . Right now its how do you distribute. So people are pouring in resources, were so thankful. But, for example, how do you distribute those resources, number one . Number two, there are businesses that have gone down because their servers got flooded out, businesses that never expected to flood didnt have a backup, and so, for example, the city of [inaudible] and now their workers are not getting paid. One guy showed me he had a 5 overdraft and was given a 50 overcharge fee, but his automatic deposit hadnt occurred because the business had interrupted payment. Were asking banks if they will waive those Overdraft Fees just until the businesses begin to pay again. Liz well, of course. They absolutely should. We hope some bankers are listening. Please waive the Overdraft Fees. People need to get back on their feet, and they cant even begin to run their businesses or their households. You know, were talking about this estimated impact, 1. 5 billion. I would imagine thats got to climb, senator. I would have to think that climbs because, again, you spoke about those bridges. Sometimes that roadway damage is not apparent upon initial inspection, only later that you find that the roadbed washed out or was destabilized. So there will be some lingering effects. So therell be the 1. 5 billion, therell be an addition upon that and then therell be a tail. Im sorry to say that, thats just the way it causes damage. Liz well, we hope you get everything that you need. Please call upon us if theres another message you need to send to our viewers. Senator bill cassidy of louisiana, we do appreciate it. We have an important programming note for you. Fema administrator craig fugate9 will be on cavuto coast to coast tomorrow, 1 p. M. Eastern. Be sure to tune in. And remember, jeh johnson, Homeland Security secretary, we are expecting him in just moments. We will bring it to you as soon as it happens. In the meantime, we will be right back.

Liz breaking news, that News Conference in baton rouge with the secretary of Homeland Security jay john john and local officials, has begun. Interestingly, just as senator cassidy told us, please, youve got to give Small Businesses a break, they are underwater, they have Just Announced the postflood Small Business office has opened today in louisiana. Lets listen in some of this News Conference. The trend is downward, and that is a good thing. Thus far more than 30,000 people have been rescued and over 1400 pets. Im very sorry to report that the number of confirmed fatalities that are caused related to this storm is now at 13. But with well over 40,000 homes impacted so far, i want to tell you that our local First Responders aided by their state partners, state police, wildlife and fisheries, the Fire Marshals Office and the National Guard have done a tremendous job of safeguarding lives and preserving property. With the 40,000 homes that have been impacted so far that parishes have reported to state and federal assessment teams as th bin going out into the affected parishes. So in the louisiana were on our taking care of each other is a way of life, and were on our way from response to recovery. And id just ask everyone to continue to be patient, to continue to work liz 30,000 people have been rescued, and they are striking a more positive tone at this hour, and you can hear officials pretty much saying theyre working now for recovery and trying to get back on their feet in louisiana. This is an epic storm that has just passed through, in in factt is the worst since hurricane superstorm sandy. Just an absolutely epic, terrible, terrible storm. Any more news out of that, well let you know. Now, at this time yesterday we were leading the show with reports that massive leis agencies owe layoffs at Cisco Systems were about to be announced. Crn cited multiple sources close to cisco that 14,000 layoffs were coming. Then after the bell, wonder of wonders, the tech bellwether announced not the much worse 14,000, but a rather scaleddown 5500 jobs would be axed. Now you have to ask this question, because investigators are looking into this did sis owe leak worse numbers to cisco leak worse numbers to make the layoffs not look so bad . We said, look, lets call cisco, find out. What did they tell you . Reporter im going to read you their statement, liz. They said, quote we have no comment on crns reporting. We reported our Restructuring Plan in our filings, but we dont have any further comment. So it would appear that theres a discrepancy between what crn had been reporting, the 14,000 or 20 of ciscos 70,000 global work force and then what we saw aftethe earnings, what was it, 5500 people or positio would be eliminated. Liz yeah. I know, its just a very, very big question here. I need to get to walmart too. Its much better news over at at walmart. Second quarter in a row, they did extraordinarily well. And this after a january 20th announcement that they were going to pay their workers more. Everybody would get a minimum of 10 versus 9, and you had a lot of experts saying thats going to kill walmarts sales. It apparently has not, adam. What are you seeing there . Reporter you see it in the numbers. Samestore sales were up 1. 6 . Heres what they said in the earnings report, operating expenses increased 8. 3 due primarily to the announced associate wage increase and investments in technology. And then when they were on the conference call, they just pointed out that the stores are cleaner, the Customer Service is better, the whole experience is better, so perhaps the correlation of more pleasant employees who are happier with their Wage Structure is paying off with happier customers. Liz well, i think that that is something to be looking at, because there were quite a few naysayers who said walmart would get hammered on paying their employees more. Doesnt appear to be the case, but maybe theyre also looking at engineering and making sure costs dont go up too much. Adam, thank you very much. By the way, at the so much the hour, after the bell, well bring you earnings from the gap. Stay tuned for that. Dow jones industrials up about six points right now. With 38 minutes before the closing bell, the green party championing not just the environment as one of its top issues for 2016, but look, we are talking about natural disasters plaguing thousands of americans and of our economy across the beautiful country. What is the green partys response to protecting our future . And what about those floods in louisiana . Green Party President ial nominee jill stein is here live. Shes talking floods, hiking the estate tax, were going to talk about that, and whether you might be nothing more than a spoiler. But for whom . Trump . Clinton . Dr. Jill stein is next, stay tuned. Liz thirteen dead. Secretary of Homeland Security jeh johnson just wrapped up his comments on the deadly floods and Recovery Efforts underway in the southern part of louisiana. As i mentioned, the death toll has risen. Yesterday it was 11, now 13. Tens of thousands of residents displaced, running for their lives, trying to swim to safety. Look, the candidates overall have stayed silent about the devastation. Well, what about the green party nominee, dr. Jill stein . Dr. Stein joins me now not only to discuss the silence from these candidates and the situation, but also her stance on taxes, jobs, free college. Let me start with louisiana. You among them have not gone. You have not weighed in. I need to know from you, what are your plans to help these people in the immediate term . I know you believe Climate Change probably caused this. We could argue til the cows come home about that, but what are your plans for immediately mobilizing to help hundreds of thousands of people get back on their feet . Yes. So not only do we need the fema and the insurance support and the financial relief, but people need physical relief right now. Its really awful that tens of thousands of people have really been stranded, have been waiting for rescues, you know . We needed to have had a much quicker and robust rescue effort. And unfortunately, whats happening in louisiana is exactly what is predicted. This is like echoes of katrina, like echoes of superstorm sandy. Unfortunately, these big, unprecedented, historic storms are exactly what we expect. And remember, its not just the storms in louisiana, its 100,000 people now on the west coast who are fleeing the fires because of the drought and the prolonged and extreme heat. This is exactly what we expect as every month now is setting a new climate for a new record for heat. Liz well, you have said that Climate Change is the cause of many of these problems. There are people who totally disagree with you, others who agree with you. However, what is your plan to mitigate if you do believe that these issues that we are starting to see, and where would you get the money to do that . So as a scientist, i will say that nearly all scientists agree the. The ones who dont agree tend to be the ones who are
