we're all working together on the great american pilgrimage hold on i'm from new york. we're on the great american pilgrimage you know and destined to will cash is one of our sponsors but really friends because they share the same heart we do which is wanting to be in the business of impacting or connecting with folks so that's why we're here today. so when it first started is rolling through corpus christi and send in tony over and over here would so bad yet you know we're still trying to get through the kind of headed zone in between shifts not certain if we're going to be working and i had gone back up to the shop that day and as i was coming back the by you down the road i guess it's about two miles back to the east started coming over the highway and we decided that we don't try to hunker down and we know the water was coming but we could see more rain. than usual settling here where
9:34 pm
it's never flooded in that area before so we were just kind of like oh it'll get maybe to the porch but it's probably not going to get in the house we're going to be ok it wasn't till like one in the morning the water had risen up to the floor of the house. they were coming by on airboats marking people's houses with red x. saying you know you gotta get out there opening up the dams you think the water is higher now it's going to get worse there were helicopters flying overhead we didn't have any sewer we didn't have any water you were having to use garbage bags and then dispose of it i was i was panicking and you know it was like oh my lungs and a secure place you have your family became a house of horrors. and i think we were in disbelief when we heard the back porch to catch and flying off into the back there was a current going and we were like we better get your head free enough yet and now we can't have that many ties and you were part of the water. here get thirty
9:35 pm
up to your chest it was a tear cross three and a half feet piece of music here we didn't panic and leave did because the new electric city was going to be in a job in the water and we'd go rubber insulators for. a number a moment and i waited till we should all. so we got in the boat and. try to make every decision you can. as our heroes get a firsthand look at the destruction that was caused. stephen is trying to piece together this whole just. he's always been the most observant baldwin brother in the world you know very close which trowbridge. this is one of the next rooms those of us who get to. really show you're. interested in or. you know
9:36 pm
about thirty grand we've put into it the last three years and this was kind of the beast room and it will have to do how high did the water come up in here i can't. see the list the some of this is. you just see that i mean there's mold there were no i mean no in the house obviously i misunderstood i thought there was some stuff that was a little salvageable you're out of here yes we're leaving this house the reason is we put a lot of money into leveling the house and for us to start all over again and invest in a home that is already unlevel has old material in it it's just not worth it i just tough man steven amy take a closer look at the sentimental details that have been affected by the. girls see . when you did your personal touches this is all the crap my grandpa's house passed away. then got this old
9:37 pm
french presidential dress theory and made it into the night. and it seriously were coming over the toilet and that into the house. not always. this is healthier now there's healthy. place and chili. and i thought it. was so. this issue. and to look at it it's like oh you know. maybe you can drive it don't look so bad. that. we painted a while. old resisted but battering paint in sheet rock and slaves and all
9:38 pm
like that and you. can't get that. we're going to try to salvage what we can out of the house to receive it was like that we just bought. exterior to light maybe cleaners and stuff that you have to use because even though it's in there yeah. it is cool you want to be close the front door doesn't even close all the way to cave and lock our stuff up and now that we have left so we keep doing it the fans go and we just leave everything up. in the neighbors even our own house we're. right here kind of funny this is all really wet and my husband did covert to pick something up and because the law was there when he bent over and his father left the impression in the well because it was like molding clay just to suit your contribution to your check to do that he's
9:39 pm
a school yet you've gone through every school teacher stephen has always had an eye for beauty art this is art that and he wanted to get it these are not. yet found like kind of like a tree and they really go wires. you know four rows the current was flowing things have shifted moved around this entire backyard and here's a big crack house being level and moving. there's so much shift in here. and that's not just sheet rock that's the shift absolutely. after a tour of the home stephen heads outside but gets a little distracted you behave i want to learn about. lightspeed. me. so that big mound of dirt outside to do without digging out of my pun and at the same time building up a pad so it will go on as least twelve inches. both with the floodwaters came to
9:40 pm
but i'm thinking about putting a pier home on top of that as well we don't know what's going to be comin to us they said this never happens here in the last two years it's happened twice not even ten miles from us. we're just trying to be ready for the next. well i want to see quite a back porch. mystery. we got both i think that was easy for me i thought i got a bad back. now i think i remember somebody mentioning the back porch float away this is where that with us right here was a four by force a snap no i never actually had an anchor to the house it's an old office you were and you're doing the remop right absolutely so. if i'm correct there's an object to see off your beautiful backyard this is that these you know it's a very decker you're referring to yes or. you
9:41 pm
stand on it. couldn't everybody appear. to my friend danny with das digital cash i want to let these folks know the other reason we're here think we have a little bit of money we can help you with and that you at least try to help you get back on your feet do you have a smartphone and you go to the app store and look for the dash wallet i can only check my e-mail like twice a week these guys invented their own currency stephen checks his e-mail twice a week but he only reads them never. get these magic numbers and over here three thousand three thousand that's nine it's only nine and so it is dash me dash is a digital currency so it's the simple i pushed. the right received the money. it's also. does it by building it by yes actually you could use that for gift cards
9:42 pm
for home depots of what i see the numbers changing what does that mean that it just means that the prices fluctuating at the moment and it will tend to go up and down like if you held onto it for a couple of days you may have several hundred more dollars. trying to stop trying to get them or you know i don't know ok i would say by the end of the years from we're going to go up by bit more fantastic lead on this porch a new beginning. just remember max gets paid. to speak on t.v. it is handy when i say. many things to them something that stuck up jake afraid to make if you send me static thank you so don't pack up with us and when you took me to do here's your dinner another huge i love it ever occurred after bringing some relief to amy and jake of our hero stevie immediate impact that can be made with the help of cryptocurrency but with more work to be done they hit the road to bring that same helping hand to
9:43 pm
another family. is a civilization just a tiny bit more advanced than we are that they can already pick up jerry springer or any other sitcoms interview shows the nightly news they see what we're doing to our planet you know it isn't really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic message is this we used to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial but there's also some rationality on the world. level was telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle for food still. the new socks for the tell you that will be
9:44 pm
gossip the tabloids myself most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we and all that are worth watching. you know when you don't see what do you do i. did a quick. to walk to the mall true only ten steps. left alone kelly said. cement turned into you know job it is messy that. you speak french. while the same you see them send them all to new facilities to visit.
9:45 pm
the cody biodome this guy knows if you're all that but it's yours and we live here in our three kids brooklyn lane. my sister and her husband and their family a mess at their own houses though they live ten minutes up the road or so so we started being asked to show everybody kind of what we're going through on a day to day basis trying to get our lives back together and everything and your are you living here no where in our camper right now but they entered our camper now also because they've got water damage and so we're not living here but we're fixing to be moving back in this weekend when they come and take our camper trailer there and they said that's ok yeah i mean we're going to have to make it ok we there's hotels but there's hours away and we work and the kids are in school so we're trying to get back to a little bit of normal life so that there's nothing no regulation or anything no situations in the government so you can't say no sorry they've actually allowed it right now due to the situation and how high was the water here i think at the half
9:46 pm
in our house they got about three foot world with all the sand yes that was a futile attempt to keep the water oh yes you know where i was shovel in a bowl and we had the sandbags up we were just trying to throw it on the other side of a splash back and it was in the face that really wasn't open much but we tried we even tried chop back and inside the house when it came in june sure from here yeah. yeah ever seen anything like this. no not here in the desert they're saying this is the worst ever and nobody thought it would get as much water as it did nobody thought it neighbors everybody else nobody thought the amount of water we had here so did you make use of the boat that so we had to be rescued out of here and that boat called behind us with some with our dog and some of our belongings we were on one boat all of us family and then the other boat road behind us with some of our stuff and our dog and the can on it so that we would leave now. thank goodness for that yeah oh book came in handy always once a user's boat actually came in handy this time you also houses right now and you're
9:47 pm
in the same situation you know we got water damage and you guys are just yes i rather than it was their home totally destroyed so were there living without us and were missing sheet rock we don't have a picture and we. sure they're praying for you guys it's a real and so all the folks out there in t.v. land to hear your story what's your name. no it's not i didn't get it really early spill. you know my daughter's name has really. like we sit the most observant baldwin brother so we go inside to look. what's going on in here now and even. just cleaning everything you think ready to put that you. are littering the kitchen. counter. whatever he looks like you know and now this is four feet this is the sheet rock
9:48 pm
the insulation it's all got to go but the wood so care that's when it was ok he just needs to drown and that's why we had to get all of us all here we turn on ac leave it circulate get all the humidity and everything out and we've treated it with the mold of a great deal the staff said that she doesn't stay where they continue to grow. so we can agree with mold and mildew everywhere is green black and white and so we get all the ways that foul and let it dry and start fresh and now hopefully it'll be ok not to mention what was in the water it is more dangerous even than the old flesh eating bacteria is everything else that had been reported you heard some about that yeah i heard this on the news and you guys probably heard it as well is that there's been multiple reports in the houston area of people getting affected with flesh eating bacteria is immersive and all these all these other different diseases that are floating in the water because you know especially in these rural areas a lot of a lot of these homes probably have septic tanks so you know everything that's in the septic tank is coming up and you know barrels and stuff with chemicals and
9:49 pm
everything floating in it you know float down the street so you know who knows what's in the water how long is it taken since the water till now how long ago was that i had a month. after having the days after the water subsided where you live again this was almost a week at the water's fifty stags. slow to work yes. you know here's our. children's room this is our son's room and it's just pretty much the same thing. down to the frame down to the studs which are girls very narrow point for this and that is in their. lives in the fact that i'm intruding on a president that's never happened well after that capturing and this cement was here it yeah we had a car there was a blessing yes yes and i was in some way some some. driving that's not.
9:50 pm
susa real you know it's your house and yours was third what's been your response from like red cross we were there all the armored vehicles we actually file for being that i think the day after it happened and we're waiting we've got a paper where we actually had a female stay. action on the fifteenth says there are not two weeks now we have really heard anything other than they needed some more documentation from us so verify that we don't actually have flood insurance so just like everything else of that paper you know you have to go through the motions and say we're still waiting and hoping for the best i've met with people in full cities that already know what i've heard a lot of people say and as we all know they only gave me like twelve hundred dollars their house was destroyed they've got twelve hundred dollars to work with. you at this point i would even be happy with two hundred dollars you know mad as that is i mean it's anything better than nothing and feel like it when we're trying
9:51 pm
to bring our three kids back in here and live to think about even that would be something it would be a start you know would be back insulation around sheet rock or something to be able to make it livable and safe for the kids and funding why use your stance to plan any where at the point now we're trying to let everything dry out still which is a big deal because we can't just go and slap new stuff off and stuff it still always starts going to start to hold and build again or have a little way to get a little bit of a waiting game and he wants to plan the plan as a term for things back together very little by little i guess the old saying to prepare for it if we got a roof over your head the removal or thirty your house is trying to. put into both . well guys. obviously have some work to do. and. along with that you've got your hands full with little ones. i mean it's going to be like you know trying to a little on swinging a hammer. definitely circus act that's for sure it's this sort of or well you know
9:52 pm
what you know when you when you think it's going to be fun no matter what whenever some bad happens. there's always going to be a little spark a light somewhere yeah so danny scared a little something special to share with you so i'm here with dash and i have some money to give you it's a little bit different money not something you're going to be used to but it's going to work just as well if not better better in my opinion anyway so if you have a smartphone all the book you write up with the money and show you how to turn it into dollars or you can spend it on amazon with a hard time. as we pass mark are you familiar with the cryptocurrency or imagine this new furtive big coil on the news i'm sure that bitcoin is a virtual currency and dash is a fork a because. it's it's good coin with customer service as i like to say as a thirty year app store. and the for the dash wallet. it's not
9:53 pm
that if they you know if that's the one tell much ok yes because she said only twelve hundred dollars but i don't really want to know so now we don't have to give them the whole amount we were talking about you know this and there's this you know and yeah one that. we swear that dash is more cutting edge than that reference so now we have this and i went to. his and he does use his device to capture that you capture this oh no i have your public address and i'm just. ready to receive it and so they are here. and if you want to turn it into something else but cashell. rose this a big. deal gladly take it off your hands this is two thousand nine hundred sixty seven dollars and thirty nine cents
9:54 pm
a minute. listen insulation and some sheet rock oh yeah. we want to come true we're excited that deschutes heart is you know of this very spirit you know to want to just like say to people and make a difference make that opportunity become reality directly with folks i've been feeding homeless people every month for over a year and with dash they they give me a certain allowance each month that's how this kind of came about as we turned the thing the homeless into helping hurricane victims and when we announced it like hey we got a few thousand bucks here is going to go down there and help a few people and suddenly people from all over the place started sending us deshon because and then the next i got to sixty thousand dollars so no burden to have to help a bunch more people. what it awful just to get very hands actually like that have all been knocked over. so it's really a great blessing and we really do appreciate it more and there's people that lost
9:55 pm
more than what we did but it's still it's still hard to talk on. a lot for other. people the dash for what you guys are doing i'm grateful a desk to have this position. god bless you really appreciate it and to see you. texas is in the books in our heroes have been humbled by the resiliency they've seen from these everyday americans and with the help of danny and dash they've been able to bring some much needed relief to the spin. if you'd like to donate to the families featured in the separate sewed skin either of these q.r. codes here using your dash while on the next stop of the pilgrimage stephen finds me. and our heroes get acquainted with a monumental piece of history that's. what is this i love it i mean her decided we're going to try to travel the road insult enough figured why not restore this old bus now that's postponed because it'll end up in this grab
9:56 pm
your for a worry about that before i also read it so if i were to check for two grand now for the bus that sound interesting to you always yeah you know very i mean really really deal absolutely all right now this is. a really serious. russian athletes taking. olympics remains controversial what awaits the olympians in sales korea and more important what awaits them after they get. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there is just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided
9:57 pm
to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. and this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution her someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. not . only.
9:58 pm
that. i like. the week's top stories from all the u.s. is left. to the un as the vast majority of nations voted. to recognize. israel's capital i mean the almost daily clashes in the region. the situation here is extremely volatile so. far as johnson visits moscow for the first time as british foreign secretary and
