front door. threw the whole family in the truck as fast as we could, packed bags. >> she called me, and she was begging me. she said, mama, the water is coming up on us. we need rescue. >> this morning i was handing out food boxes, and a lady just broke down crying. and i hugged her and prayed with her and just -- just consoled her. >> i'm devastated. i've cried all day. 100% of my things have been destroyed. >> things like bad dreams. he just gets to the point where you don't know what to say or think. >> this is nothing like i've ever seen. nothing. katrina, none of those storms can compare to this. >> all right. let's give our love on down to baton rouge. thank you all for coming out to the church. all these people behind me are all volunteering to help their community in need. when you hear the story of devastation and how many people boats and saving lives as this water

came in so fast, it's an incredible story of heroism, generosity, kindness, everything that makes america great. sir, what's your name? >> john broussard. >> when i got here, and we're going to show this later in the show tonight, i could not believe what i saw. it was house after house, block after block, street after street, devastation. water up as high as six feet in these houses. every home destroyed. and it may be as many as 100,000. >> in our neighborhood, i had two foot of water in our house. we had a little bit of time to get stuff out, which we -- >> an hour. >> about an hour. the river was rising about three inches every hour. when i woke up at kw7 05. one of my neighbors was moving to higher ground. and within an hour, we had water coming in our house.

>> look, this isn't just -- these homes, as we'll show later, i mean these homes were destroyed. i saw it anywhere from four feet, five feet, six feet. you had an hour to get out of the house? >> yeah, we had an hour to get out. >> what's your name by the way? >> theresa broussard. we never thought we would get water because the big flood of '83, hour house was high and dry, and my husband was talking to -- >> is this your husband? >> yes. >> you married way up. okay. >> my husband was talking to the neighbor, who parked his car on the road in the highest spot, and he still -- we couldn't wrap our minds around it. it wasn't coming. it's not coming. different circumstances. well, it came, and it came fast. as a home school mom, all i could worry about was getting my schoolbooks and everything up in the attic where it was safe. i said we can lose everything, but we can't lose the schoolbooks. >> see, if i was your student, i

would be upset by that. >> i know. >> i would have said let's drown the books. >> my son's not happy. >> it's amazing. i'm joking, but it's not a joke because you think of the american dream. i was just saying this before. the american dream is you get your house, and you get that house, and these people aren't going to be moving back into these homes maybe for a year or two. i mean it's sad. >> but there is a silver lining. i'm doing hashtag faith family and friends because that's what's getting us through. our faith, of course, is just -- i had a wonderful bible study this morning. last night, i picked up where i left off saturday morning, where i was casually drinking my coffee thinking, i'm not going to get water. >> this is almost like your own version of noah's ark? >> yes. so but faith, family and friends because we're staying with family, and friends are looking out for us, and they've helped pull nails. they've helped pull sheetrock

and all that. >> you know what the thing that really impressed me is i saw that every block, every street that we went on -- and we'll show some of this video -- it was like every house had already been gutted. no government agency got here. this is neighbor helping neighbor. >> this is our son. >> how are you doing? what's your name? >> andrew. >> are you helping your mom out big time now? are you stepping up? >> yeah. we had to pull out some walls. >> hey, darling. what's your name? oh, okay. don't worry. i'm not a liberal. i'm not hillary. i'm not obama. listen, please know you're in our thoughts and prayers. we're going to talk to some other folks here. are we going over here? okay. how are you do something what's your name? >> joshua. >> tell us what went on where you live. >> we live in prairieville actually so we didn't get flooded. >> you came to help. >> actually hanging out with the broussards. we gutted a house today and really sad to see all the dreams

of people. when kids are living there, you see all the scattered pieces of the games on the floor, and it's really hard to watch. >> but you came to help, as did everybody else in this room, which says a lot about you. thanks for what you are doing. give this guy a hand. [ applause ] what's your name, darling? >> ellie. >> you hit my hand. you can show everybody. hard. ow! tell us about what happened. that's your little boy over here? >> yeah, and i have a few more behind me. >> what a good-looking family. >> thank you. >> tell us what happened. >> so friday morning we woke up and realized that our house looked like it was about to flood. so we put all of our furniture on cinder blocks and called our friend to come and get us because we already couldn't get out of our neighborhood. >> from mike. >> mr. mike came to help you? do you like mr. mike? yeah? he's nice. do you beat him up too? no. okay. just me. i'm the punching bag.

so did you save your furniture? >> well -- >> no? >> no. so friday we went to my parents' house across town. their house is about five feet off the ground, and we got word friday night that our house didn't flood. but there was about three feet of water -- >> we thought it would flood. >> we thought it would flood. but my parents' house had about three feet of water around it, not in the house yet. so we couldn't leave. and then saturday, about 5:00 that afternoon, water started coming in their house. it ended up about knee-deep. we were stuck in two rooms with 11 people. so we had a renter next door who didn't leave, and they were on the ground level. so she came with us, and so it was my parents and my niece and nephew and the six of us and the renter, and four dogs. >> wow. >> upstairs for two or three days. i kind of lost track. >> yeah.

>> for three days. >> for three days. >> for three days? do you want to be on tv when you get older? you'd be really good at it. did you all hear? we're going to show this. but one of the more amazing things, it came down so fast, and the currents were pretty -- and everyone told the story about how everyone with a boat came, and the sheriff told me he could not believe in the one county we were in earlier, livingston, that only one person died in that county considering the rapids, the number of old people, elderly. you had a hospital. you had a nursing home, and they got everybody out because everybody -- not one federal government bit of aid here, but neighbor helping neighbor with their boats, right? all true? and so many lives were saved. well, we're going to come back, and we're going to show the country what i saw today, which

will shock your conscience. and that is home after home, street after street literally devastation, and this is going to take years to complete. we're in baton rouge, louisiana. it's "hannity" on the road. stay right there. we'll also meet that great sheriff who helped save a lot of lives this weekend straight ahead. >> the smell is just horrendous. every drawer, every bin, every pot you open still contains that toxic, you know, river water. and so the cleanup has been a real mess. it's more devastation than i've ever seen in my life. experience breathtaking lexus performance in street-legal form. get great offers at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. get up to $5,000 customer cash on select 2016 models. ends september 5th. see your lexus dealer. whether it's connecting one of or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. campuses.

the campus has led opposition to the law since it was signed by gregg abbott last year. that's look at news. i'm kelly wright. was a dispute over vandalism and not a robbery. back to "hannity." the water levels came up to right here, about four feet off

the ground. just about everything was ruined that the water touched. right here we have -- just trying to suck the water out of every drawer in the house because it's full of this water. >> this was our living room, dining room, and kitchen that was completely destroyed. different pieces of furniture that are irreplaceable that we have to buy. very expensive pieces of equipment. it's all lost. >> unbelievable devastation. welcome back to "hannity," and we're broadcasting tonight from greenwell spring baptist church in louisiana where earlier today, sheriff jason ard from the livingston perish sheriff's office showed me exactly what the floods had destroyed. this is understandi take a look. >> stop here for a second. take a look down there. look at all this. this is livingston parrish. describe where we are and exactly how bad this -- this looks like the aftermath of

katrina. >> yes, it does. we're actually south of hill springs, which is actually just west of -- east of baton rouge. and this area has never flooded. >> stop right here. look down here. >> the devastation that this flood has caused these residents here, it's just horrible. i actually was involved in katrina, and the only thing that i can think in my 25 years of experience to describe this is katrina. and the reason is i remember seeing the vehicles stalled on the road, flipped over in the ditches, the boats everywheres. just the mass destruction, and this is as close as i can -- >> if we can get a picture. stop for a second and look at that water line on the house. it's up two-thirds of the way on the house. >> you have water lines that are going to be above the roof line. i mean you have homes here that were completely destroyed. >> how many people are we talking about displaced? >> you know, we think over 80% of our population, which is

141,000, have been touched by this storm. we know there's some that lost everything. we know some had damage. >> let's look down this block. if you can shoot down that block and take a look. now, sheriff, you told me earlier -- and this stunned me. i mean look at this. it's unbelievable. look at how high the water goes up. >> not only of them are losing their homes, a lot of them lost their vehicles. if you've never flooded before, how do you know to get out? the water is moving down this direction. we started getting calls from here. we actually had to prioritize and tell people that are on the bottom floor that are moving to the second floor to tell us when you get in your attic because then you become priority. that's how many people are calling. >> and you lost only one person with no notice, and you were able to commandeer between what your offices were able to do, the national guard -- i assume they weighed in as well? >> right. >> and basically neighbor helping neighbor, commandeering any boat you had, and with no notice, you got everybody out and only one person died?

>> yes, sir. >> wow. >> it's truly amazing. >> that's a miracle. >> but, you know, we just know without a doubt god is watching over is and made this up for these citizens to get them out. there's a lot of good things that come out of this. when you got your head down, just know we're strong and things could have been a lot worse. >> as you're getting all these people out, how many hours did it take to get everyone from every neighborhood out? >> we didn't probably start feeling that we accomplished what we needed to accomplish until probably monday morning. >> this is it. this is the water line. >> right. >> and actually it's even worse down the block. >> a lot worse down the black. >> but, guys, if you can just get a picture, this house is done. it is gutted almost completely. this is a total rebuild. this is all electrical, all plumbing. >> and they also had to get chemicals in here to make sure they could get the mold. we know it's coming. so it's --

>> so these are thousands of people. i just spoke with the daughter. i mean they're asking their mom to move down to florida now. >> right. >> because obviously she's not getting back in her house in a long time. >> right. and that's the sad thing. a lot of people are not going to have anywhere to live. everything is basically destroyed -- not everything, but most things are destroyed. >> where are you putting the people now that are displaced? >> our parrish government is working on trying to get housing. we do have them in shelters, making sure they get fed and doing the best we can there. we also have a lot of our faith-based communities, churches and stuff that are actually housing people as well. >> i know franklin graham's group is down here, tony perkins' group, samaritans purse. >> we have people just down here cooking just to make sure everyone is fed. they're working with the red cross and other entities to make sure there's food and water here. everyone is working together and we're getting those important things done. i think the thing that people

are starting to focus on is my home, what am i going to do? >> we all watched katrina, and i was down after -- i saw the aftermath of katrina, and what i said on tv at the time is pictures never capture the devastation. >> right. >> i would argue we can't even have pictures capture the devastation here. in that case, though, you had a lot of crime and looting, et cetera. you said you've had some, but not too bad. >> we've been taking a very hard line toward that. we have a lot of agencies throughout the state that came due to the louisiana's sheriff's association to patrol the streets and keeping the looters out. we're taking a very hard line with that. we're not going to put up with that at all. and a lot of people think because hi to close my jail down, the inmates don't have anywhere to go, but that's not true. i have a temporary booking facility. >> you got a place for them to stay too? >> that's right. >> sheriff, i know you've been

real busy and very generous with your time. we really appreciate it. the nation needs to see this. we're going to put up different organizations like samaritan's purse and tony perkins' group and see if we can't help the great people down here out. >> and i want to just say thank you to all the people that have came and helped and that continue to come, continue to call, not only bringing food but bringing workers and helping with the reconstruction. >> with that too, i can't believe there's been nowhere near the national attention this deserves. you even said locally they're not following this yet. >> i think the locals followed it early on, but we're still having some other areas that are flooding, still in the southern part of the state. so i'm sure they're still working on that with limited resources. >> it's a miracle you got everybody out of here. it really is. thank you so much, sir. thanks for what you do. >> appreciate it. coming up, earlier today i also spoke with some louisiana

residents. they have lost everything. we're going to play you that coming up next. plus we'll also speak with some of these great volunteers right here at the greenwell springs baptist church. ouge, nd more as "hannity" louisiana, straight ahead. you totaled your brand new car. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

part of my life's in that truck. part of my life's on this table. >> yeah. >> and my son and daughter-in-law are still walking around. so, you know, that's good. >> what do you think? the country has not caught this and understood this. >> i hate to say this. >> no. say it. >> because i love america. i don't want to live anywhere else, and i know our crew does the best that they can do. >> right. >> but i don't think washington gives a hoot about anybody but their pockets. >> did you see the president playing golf during all of this? >> no, i didn't because i don't have a tv. >> i got that. but you know he was playing golf. >> oh, i'm sure he was. >> let me just show everybody, if you don't mind, i'm going to look at your garage. is that okay? >> go ahead. >> okay. if you look over here, so the water came up to here. and inside your house, the same thing? >> you can go through the house if you want to because it's --

the sheetrock is coming down. the cabinets are out. everything. >> and this is not a flood zone. you don't have flood insurance. >> no, i don't have flood insurance because they told me when that flood of '83 came through, and then when i bought this house, they told me that this house did not flood. >> you're also going to have to rebuild the whole inside of that house. your country needs to help you now, you know that. >> i know that, but you know. >> i have a pretty loud megaphone, and a big mouth. >> what we have in washington, i don't know. >> i agree with you. i'm so sorry. i am. thank you for sharing your time with us. >> you're welcome. >> i'm so glad you made it out okay. >> well, i am too so -- but thank you very much. i hope you can help us out. >> i'm looking at everything you own right behind you. i'm looking. i'm so sorry. this has got to be horrible. >> we got three houses that flooded. we got two rentals and our own home, and we're having to redo all of them. you know, no income.

>> so you're taking off work to do this? >> yeah, yeah. >> and i'm kim. >> by the way, kim said she dressed up for this. >> she was going, wait a minute. i got to get dressed. no. people need to see how hard you work, and you get to get all of this stuff out of your house. >> exactly. exactly. it's struggle, you know. every day we wake up, try to come out here, do a little bit. and i just pray that we stay healthy enough to be able to do it, you know, and just finding help is hard because everybody is in the same situation. >> eric, you came down to help your friend? >> i lost my home too. everything we own is gone. >> i know this is a dumb question. this is a non-flood zone. i just talked a lot of your neighbors. they don't have flood insurance. >> i mean at least we have flood insurance on two of them. >> not this one? >> no. >> this is a no flood zone. >> right. this house is 40 years old. it hasn't never flooded. >> never come close. >> you know, it's just -- >> what i can't believe, and the sheriff's been tallielling me

altogether day, this happened immediately. and there was no notice. >> no. >> walk us through as water is beginning to rise and all of a sudden it gets up to your door and comes in your house, what was that right? >> this house right here, the rental house and the lady was living here. there was no water in the back. then she had to get an air mattress and float out with her kid, it come up so quick. >> i heard the current was brutal. >> it was. we actually live on the river, me and him, and we had to be rescued because the current was so bad, we thought our house -- i thought the house would cave in. so somebody came and got us, and we've been staying with friends and family until, you know, we get it back. >> you got in your own boat. how many people do you think you got out? >> i don't know. a lot. >> a lot? >> yeah, breaking out windows, saving them out of their attics, off the roofs. >> there's a lot of elderly people in the community. >> yes, absolutely. >> i had one of my boats, the current was so strong, it had another boat push me up to the

doo door. and they had to come by helicopter to get them out of my boat. >> i didn't know how bad it was and then i started talking to people i know, and they said, no, new york yo, you have no id. now that i'm here, the country doesn't have an idea. >> we've heard cnn and all of them are just not posting. i mean not -- nothing. >> the sheriff told me nobody's been here. >> no. absolutely not. i mean we all need help out here. >> sir, what's your name? >> my name's bob. >> you're not from here, but one of your friends lost everything. >> yeah, a couple of doors down. >> you were giving me numbers just a second ago. the numbers of people impacted by this. >> i believe there's 137,000 people in asuncion parrish, and i heard that 100,000 of them are flooded. and that's -- that's a huge number. it's not that same percentage in other areas, but the devastation is asuncion parrish, east baton rouge. it's all around.

>> we're in liviin livingston n. every house on this block has everything they own on the front yard, and you said that's all people doing it on their own. >> that's right. they're been very little government assistance to this point. it's been family, friends, people doing their own. and what people need to understand, they're tearing their hearts out of these houses. this is not just stuff. >> no. this is their life. >> my friend has been there for 40 years. everything that he owns -- >> is on his front lawn. >> on the front lawn. coming up, when we come back, we'll speak with more victims of this flood as well as the men and women who are out there helping their neighbors during their time of need. that and more as we continue from baton rouge tonight on "hannity." ♪

the water was about two feet deep in the house when the fire

department came with a rescue boat and took my wife. she's a breast cancer patient, survivor. we got brought to a staging area, and rescued. i'm living inside the garage. i put an air conditioner in the window, and my wife is staying with her sister. and i'm staying there cleaning it up. i'm 71, and we'll start over and make it from here. >> that's just more of the devastation. welcome back to "hannity," and we are in louisiana, where over at least 60,000 homes have been damaged, many destroyed by the floods. joining us now, the mayor of the city of central louisiana, j.r. shelton right here with us. we have congressman garret graves. the lieutenant governor is with us. by the way, i do have one question for the audience. you all can clap and agree. were you glad that donald trump came here? [ applause ]

[ applause ] >> congressman, what really shocked me today and we just aired some of this is a lot of people impacted by this, they don't live in a flood zone. they didn't have flood insurance. what can be done on a national level to help? like i love what samaritans' purse is doing. i love what my buddy, tony perkins, is doing. but that's just to get people through the day and through the weeks and put food in their stomachs. but what can the government do to help them? this seems to be one of those moments they need to step up. >> we been through disasters here before. this storm caused 31 inches of rain in just a few days. 31 inches of rain is what the national annual average rain fall is, and we got it in two days. so this is a once in a lifetime, once in a thousand-year type storm. there needs to be a more robust federal recovery package that -- >> have you talked to the president? >> i haven't spoken to the president. >> was he too busy golfing? >> yeah. i had a chance to talk to some

other folks. >> sorry, i couldn't resist. i know. >> i certainly plan on talking to him about it tomorrow. >> lieutenant governor, good to see you. by the way, i was impressed. you have a democratic governor in the state. you're a republican lieutenant governor, and i was impressed that it seemed that both the governor and even mary landrieu doesn't particularly like me had some good things to say about those people bringing attention torible problem down here. >> absolutely. we've got to work together. with the fema rules, if you didn't have flood insurance, we need donations, we need people to step up as these neighbors have done. neighbor helping neighbor. we're not going to be waiting. we're gutting homes. we're going to go in and rebuild homes and take those citizens that didn't have flood insurance through private donations. >> 90% of this community. >> i know. but we can't wait. we've got to go to war. >> it's beyond that because i've been in these homes. you've got to not only gut it. i think the only thing you might be able to save is the shell. i used to be in construction. >> absolutely. >> so everything else is out.

>> absolutely. >> that means you're basically building a new home for everybody, and if there's no insurance, what are these people going to do? >> we've got to give them home. we've got to be able to work as a team and start working to rebuild these houses. and day after day, it's going to get better. it's a long haul. hopefully there will be some help from the federal government. but it's going to take private donations. i wrote my check the other day while my wife was here volunteering. donald trump left a check. >> i'm going to write a check. >> we could use one from the clinton foundation. if she's not going to come, we'll take her check. [ theefr checheers and applause] >> i just want to warn you, that money may have come in saudi arabia where they don't treat women, gays, lesbians jews too well. >> sean, i promise you central will come back bigger and stronger than ever. this community, while we've been devastated, we have not lost our
