complex. hit me quickly that a lot of the people have been stuck in their homes for the belter part of the last three days. they have seen some images of the flooding, across the city. but they haven t really witnessed on a grand scale, or a big picture. what has the been going on around them. when we got in the truck. through the floodwaters. there was a gasp inside the truck. people, one woman, we were standing, oh, my god, this its so crazy. hi hit me. haven t seen what is unfolding in their own city today. so that was, rather, a breathtaking moment with the people, as they were being moved to a shelter. you know, ed, we sought stunning video of you and producer jason morris, your cameraman, joel del rosa helping an elderly couple escape from their home. tell us about that.
taking shelter from a hurricane is it going to be a repeat of katrina. a repeat of the super dome situation. and the chaos that took place there. i can tell you, my team and i went in here, not long age talked to a lot of people. it its not that situation, don. it is very come posed. orderly. it is very organized. there are a lot of people in here who are stressed. devastated. and exhausted. but they are, just, you know they re really acting in a very, graceful manner. and there are a lot of police officers and volunteers helping to shepherd people in the right direction. give them meals so. far, what we have seen. pretty impressive, don. talk to me, brian, about some of the rescues you witnessed earlier today. just incredible scenes. we went out to an area in the northeastern section hufston. lakewood. a poor section of town, a lot of single family homes, these houses had water up to past the window levels. and when we were there with a
was mentally something. i said nothing about the president having a mental issue. i did not say that. go back and look at the tape. i saw some of the quotes. they were really. i said he was i know you re upset with the election results. that s your assumption. i think this man is really trying for the country. by the way, i was one of the first people in news that said he had a possibility of winning. did you know that? that he could possibly win that. the results are the results. that s a big assumption. i have to ask you, let me ask you, i want to ask the president this. there are lots of people on this network and others who don t look like me who are harder on this president and who say disparaging things about this president. but he doesn t get as upset with them as he does with me. why is that? i think he s upset with a lot of other media. and his people. i think generally he thinks cnn should be more the gold standard. he s not running cnn. he s supposed
fair-minded. you said it. i think the president is disappointed. he is expecting a higher standard from some one look you. others expect a higher standard from some one like him. who is in the highest office in the land. and who should conduct himself. so we chatted today, early this morning, i chatted with the president. he had a lot of things to say about you. i won t repeat any of them because i don t want to repeat your night. do you think that would upset my night? he said it about me publicly. let me finish this and i promise i ll let you finish. the thing is, is that the president will say to you and to other people things about me behind my back. i will say it to the camera in front of everyone. here s the thing, he won t come on, he won t come on this network or he won t do an interview with me because. i m not sure if he will get a fair shake. the president can t handle himself with a cable news anchor. last week you were saying he
ask them if they wanted to leave. so many people gave us the thumb thousands up. and, as we continued to go around the houses, some of the people would then, stop us, because they would notice the water was still rising. and for all of the listeners out there. i know a lot don t have electricty. it is, or tv s, but, it s, if they see somebody coming to, you know, rescue them, please, please, take advantage of it. get out of the, the water. yeah. and what about at night? tell also but, what happens at night there? well we started last night. you know, a little after midnight. and you know, the people, at night, are, are much more panicked and terrified. that we can see, i mean they were, they were opening up. they would be on the second story, screaming out loud at us. we could hear them over the loud motors of the air boats. and trying to get to these people. you know, you could just, seat panic. in their eyes. and going to, going to today, you
