and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. good monday morning.

more than 20,000 people rescued of being trapped inside their cars. entire homes have been destroyed. >> i have about 4 feet of water inside my house. everything is ruined. >> we are live in the flood zone. also protests turn violent overnight in milwaukee. >> if you do not disburse immediately you will be arrested. >> police officer injured after a black man was shot and killed by police. officials are standing by the officer after a weekend of unrest. we have got to latest. >> plus chaos at the airport, reports of shots fired. >> everybody started running in this direction. >> passengers running onto the tarmac. here is the question, what on

earth caused this scare? we want to begin this morning with the historic flooding in the state of louisiana. the latest word is 10,000 have had to move into shelters and 20,000 have been rescued. this is one of the most dramatic rescuers. he is trying to help a woman. he is trapped as the car is actually sinking. eventually they managed to pull her out through the roof. she comes out and then a minute later she still under water. he managed to save her dog. all three are going to be ak. it speaks to how serious to how things are. what is the situation now? >> hi. good morning. as you mentioned, it was a weekend filled with dramatic water rescues. we were seeing many of them in baton rouge and also just to our

east, places that were very hard hit. we can show you some live pictures to show you the activity here in this area. many of the rivers in louisiana have crested. not all of them have, however but they are expected to do so over the next couple of days. this was completely dry yesterday morning. we saw it rise yesterday. thankfully now this river has crested so water levels are starts to recede. good samaritans are bringing in boats so see if there is anyone still trapped inside their homes that didn't get out. places like watson got more than 31 inches of rain over the period. it is inaccessible by car. you to get there by boat. the governor has said now that

there are five confirmed fatalities. more than 20,000 people have been rescued so far and some 10,000 people spent part of the weekend in emergency shelters. an unfielding saser here in louisiana. they are expecting another 1 to 3isms. a piece of this will be bringing in new flooding states like missouri and illinois. here in louisiana it is a state of emergency. president obama declaring several parishes disaster areas. >> thank you for that. we'll have more updates on the state of emergency throughout the hour. now i have to take you to the other big headlines in

milwaukee. they are wake up after a straight night of shootings. businesses and police cars were set on fire again overyou nigh. the sun has been up for two hours. chas the guy? >> it is quiet last night was a little bit calmer. police say thousanding gapd and others. one hit the offer's windshield. police had to use an armored vehicle. this all stems from saturday's fatal police shooting. the police chief says he was

armed with a handgun and fleeing and body camera video shows he was turning towards the officer with the gun. both smith and the officer are african american t. policeman's name has not been released yet because of threats and concerns for his safety. that officer has been moved out of town. >> as you said, the police have sho told us about what the body cam shows. >> they say they would like to see the footage a leased without interfering with the investigation. he tried to describe it. he says he believes there was a credible threat against the officer. the mayor has only seen a still from that video but they would like to get that out as soon as possible. >> the state is investigating

this police shooting. okay. we have to move on because a terrifying scene in one of the busiest airports in new york. they reported two terminals after gunfire. panicked crowds were all over the place. they are seen running out of the airport. that i are on the tarmac. what happened last night? >> reporter: one passenger described it as the most insane thing. people hit the ground. people were laying on the ground. some people started running out of the airport. you could see people running on the tarmac from a plane. police started evacuated

everybody. you could see people leaving with their hands up in the air. the faa diverted all inbound planes. about 45 minutes after the initial call shots had been fire department there was a second call that shots were fired in a different terminal. there was no shots fire department. they say it may have been something as simple as passengers watching the olympics and screaming and clapping for it. >> it speaks to how tense things are right now. we have to move onto politics. donald trump in the battleground state of ohio today laying out his plan to fight terror but his campaign is also firing back at a new york times report. according to the ties trump's campaign manager received

millions of dollars in crash from you crepe's pro russian party. what is mr. trump saying today? >> i can tell you that this morning the campaign tells nbc the following. let's pull it up right now from paul manafort insisting that any of this was not true, saying the new york times is chosen to ignore facts and professional journalism rather than present an honest report going after the immediate you but continuing to say i never received an off the books cash payment for have i ever done calling the exception that he unfounded, silly and nonsensical. this was raising a lot between the ties between the trump campaign and russian entities

and the clinton campaign is pouncing overnight releasing a statement that donald trump has the responsibility to disclose any ties between advisers and russia essentially. you know what's interesting, this is not just a political flash point. this is a question of importance in the campaign but it also is another reflection of how the trump campaign is going after the press. paul manafort going after the times yet again for a report that the trump campaign does not like. this is another round of donald trump versus the media after his statements over the weekend, discussing turmoil within his campaign. this is about the struggle that he has been under since making the turn from the primaries to the general election. here is another example of that,

the conservative pages giving trump an ultimatum. the g.o.p. should focus on you writing as for mr. trump, he needs to decide if he wants to behave like sol omeone that wan to be president. >> donald trump tweeted this weekend he is not going to change. donald trump said i am who i am. at this point republicans have got to start believing him essentially. this is jifrply not going to happen in the words. >> i am who i am. we'll see if it works for mr. trump. >> all right. thank you. all right. coming up, the historic flooding, we go back to the flood zones and one of the rescuers who happens to be a u.s. congressman. are they getting the resources

they need? and robbed at gunpoint in rio. we'll hear from him exclusively. g a jet engine. well, ge is digital and industrial. like peanut butter and jelly. yeah. ham and cheese. cops and robbers. yeah. nachos and karate. ahh. not that one so much. the rest were really good. socks and shoes. ok, ricky... one day a rider made a decision. the decision to ride on and save money. he decided to save money by switching his motorcycle insurance to geico. there's no shame in saving money. ride on, ride proud.

the cab gets pulled aside. here is what he said happened. >> who were you with? who pulled you over? >> you know, i was with a couple -- i was with a couple of swimmers. we were coming book and we got pulled over in our taxi and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge. no lights, no nothing. they pulled us over, pulled out their guns and told the others to get down on the ground. i refused. i didn't do anything wrong. i'm not getting down on the ground and the guy pulled out his gun and he packed it and put it to my forehead and said get down. i put my hands up and i was like whatever. he took my money, my wallet.

what it takes takes to recover. joining me on the phone is lieutenant generous russell honore. thank you for joining me this morning. help us put this into perspective. how does this stack up to katrina in terms of rescues and the destruction. earlier we spoke to republican congressman, garrett graves, who said in that specific region, it's worse than it was in katrina. >> well, not worse. it's equal too. we'll come close to match in terms of the scope of the flooding. and as you know, flooding is our biggest threat in the world. to homes. in this particular case, the way this flood occurred from the constant flow of the rain coming. louisiana is a state of rivers and bayous that generally stay inside their banks. but in this particular case,

we've got -- what's happened over time is that through good intentions, we've gone and occupied some of that space that used to be a flood zone. and unfortunately, a lot of our communities are under water. they include our industry. i mean, our east-west industry, interstate 12 and 10, which is key to the economic prosperity of the nation, and the connectivity and what they all -- key ports between houston and new orleans, all the way into jacksonville, that entire trench system is disrupted. so on top of all of our citizens losing their home and inside those citizens are our first responders. we have lost numerous fire. our salvation army, the biggest -- one of the biggest ones in the south is under

water. so it's having an effect on the community, because the flooding is so widespread, all the way from right outside of new orleans to the texas border, we've got people under water along interstate 10. >> since flooding is to be expected in the state, does the government need to be doing more preventive measures? >> well, i think we're going to have to go back and take a look at that. because it's a little too early. we are a state of bayous and rivers. and along the way, we disrupted that by our own occupancy. things like the interstate system itself disrupted the flood plain. so when it floods down here, unless the interstate is raised, that water has to have a place to go. so we're going to need to reengineer it from an engineer who are in charge of waterways inside the united states to see how we minimize this. this isn't going to be a major burden for the people and for
