00:00:15 Venezuela, what was happening over there with the earthquake?
00:00:18 7.4 earthquake and a 7.6 earthquake that hit yesterday.
00:00:23 Powerful earthquakes near Caracas.
00:00:25 This report here says at least 164 have died as rescue efforts underway.
00:00:34 But the reports I'm getting from people on the streets is there's 55, nearly 60,000 people missing and no one really knows what's going on.
00:00:43 So when you look at the story here, twin earthquakes, back to back, rocked Venezuela last night, killing nearly 200 and injuring at least 1520.
00:00:54 Venezuela National Assembly President George Rodriguez said this afternoon those tolls are set to rise again.
00:01:00 The extensive damage across South American countries, aid pledges with frantic rescue efforts underway,
00:01:06 pledges of aid poured in from around the world.
00:01:10 Marco Rubio even commented on this.
00:01:12 The U.S. said it was immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance.
00:01:18 That's Marco Rubio.
00:01:20 U.S. response will be big.
00:01:21 It will be fast.
00:01:22 It will be effective.
00:01:23 and State of Emergency Acting President Delce Rodriguez
00:01:27 declared a State of Emergency announced.
00:01:29 Here's a couple videos for you to watch.
00:01:30 This is the airport.
00:01:31 This is what it looked like at the airport.
00:01:33 I've been through an earthquake before, the big one in Northridge.
00:01:36 Let me tell you, it is extremely scary when you're going through it.
00:01:40 This is the airport?
00:01:43 Wow.
00:01:45 You think it's the end of the world.
00:01:46 You literally think it's the end of the world.
00:01:48 And the dust you see, that's the concrete rubbing against each other in the roof.
00:01:53 and the pillars, that's what's going on there.
00:01:56 Jeez.
00:01:57 Oh, my goodness.
00:02:02 45 seconds.
00:02:03 This is one.
00:02:04 Do you have a couple other ones with properties shaking?
00:02:06 This is just the airport.
00:02:08 And, by the way, the airport's at least built on a decent structure
00:02:11 where you don't see it coming down.
00:02:13 There's some, like, watch this one here.
00:02:14 Look at that.
00:02:15 Oh.
00:02:16 Oh.
00:02:20 That's exactly what happened.
00:02:21 And the Northridge apartments right next to Cal State Northridge is the garage.
00:02:24 That's the guy with a cigarette.
00:02:25 Collapse.
00:02:26 Never drop.
00:02:26 That never drops a cigarette, though.
00:02:29 Like, shout out to whatever brand that is, cigarette.
00:02:32 Look at this.
00:02:34 Carico! Carico! Carico!
00:02:36 Okay. Oh, my goodness.
00:02:37 All right. So, let's pause there.
00:02:39 Devastating going through this.
00:02:40 Our guest today is Anda Padilla, a doctor there herself.
00:02:45 Anna, can you hear us?
00:02:47 Hi. Yes. Yes, I can hear you.
00:02:49 Thank you so much for having me today.
00:02:51 Thanks for joining us. And we appreciated that, you know, Tim Ryan made this happen, made the introduction.
00:02:56 So we're out here. All we see is clips. All we read is stories. We're not there.
00:03:01 What can you tell us of what's going on right now in Venezuela?
00:03:05 Well, right now, first of all, I just want to let everyone know that, you know, Venezuela is heartbroken at the moment.
00:03:11 The devastation and the laws is incomprehensible, first of all, and it's a big tragedy.
00:03:17 We've got people trapped under buildings. The rescue teams have not even reached them yet.
00:03:22 I mean, it's deeply personal, and I know everyone is seeing in the news, but they're not feeling how we feel.
00:03:29 And it's not just numbers on the screen for us.
00:03:32 We've had dear friends, personal friends from university that were trapped under their buildings waiting for rescue,
00:03:39 and they were holding on for their lives until they just couldn't anymore.
00:03:43 i'm sorry and um you know it's deeply personal for us uh the the truth is we were not prepared
00:03:51 for this the the country's not preferred for this type of stuff so that's why i'm deeply grateful
00:03:57 to be here today you know to spread awareness and to let everyone know and to let our american
00:04:03 brothers know that we do need help it's a fact we need help people are being crushed by buildings
00:04:09 they're waiting for everyone to come in and help and we need a lot of supplies i'm here at the
00:04:14 donation center at the moment i don't know if you can see around me we see it we're we're gathering
00:04:19 clothes we're gathering surgical materials we're gathering medicine and you know people have lost
00:04:26 everything people are losing everything at the moment they're living in the streets they're out
00:04:31 in the cold they have not eating for 24 hours and you know it's a big devastation i know it's
00:04:38 it's not what you see maybe in the news but here inside people are suffering and i just want to let
00:04:46 everyone know out there that if you can extend your hand to help us out it is deeply appreciated
00:04:52 we've got a bunch of friends a bunch of my friends are also setting up gofundmes there's
00:04:57 foundations that are trying to help and i know all of the countries are helping but the crucial
00:05:03 thing is it needs to be faster. You know, I had a couple of friends going down to La Guaira,
00:05:09 which was the most affected, the state most affected. And they said they could hear people
00:05:14 scream under the buildings, but there were no protection or rescue teams there yet. So it's
00:05:20 mostly civilians trying to do whatever they can to take out the pieces of the building and bring
00:05:26 people out. And, you know, we need all the resources we can. Our resources inside are
00:05:32 running out you know i work here uh with the hospitals and a bunch of my friends are also
00:05:38 in hospitals they're saying the resources are running out they're asking for donations and i
00:05:42 know it's not what we can see out there in the news but this is the reality and let me ask you
00:05:47 what did what did it feel like walk us through what happened you know when it happened both of
00:05:52 them what did what did it feel like how long did it last how how wide is the impact in the states
00:05:57 well where i lived it wasn't as intense as it was for other people i was at my house
00:06:04 and it felt like the longest seven or ten seconds of my life the building was shaking intensely
00:06:12 the lights were giving off my mom was also at the supermarket lights were giving off everything was
00:06:17 shaking and after everything happened where you get to calm down you start seeing the videos
00:06:23 videos of buildings going down building uh videos of people you know under the buildings and
00:06:31 nobody expected this our last earthquake was probably more than 50 years ago and and as you
00:06:40 may know and it is not a secret here we were not prepared for this and as soon as it came
00:06:47 everybody was in shock and then the devastation and the lost came after uh buildings were going
00:06:54 down and you started searching for your loved ones that was the worst part uh searching for
00:06:59 your co-workers for your friends for your family trying to reach them and it was we were all
00:07:06 desperate to hear of our loved ones they were okay and our friends so it was the longest seven
00:07:12 And seven to ten seconds, that's how long it lasted.
00:07:15 And that is how long it took for everything to crumble down, for people to start losing their lives, especially in La Guaira.
00:07:23 I want to bring awareness to La Guaira because it was a state where almost, I think even more than what has been said, around, you know, a hundred buildings came down.
00:07:33 I have friends there.
00:07:35 I have friends that thankfully were rescued under their building yesterday, and they're currently at the hospitals.
00:07:41 but some of them lost their lives
00:07:43 and they were very young.
00:07:44 Mostly it's young people losing their lives
00:07:46 that were in those buildings.
00:07:48 I had a friend yesterday that sadly passed away.
00:07:52 We were trying to get him a rescue team
00:07:56 but it was not possible
00:07:57 because everything is moving slow
00:08:00 and that's why I want to let everyone know
00:08:02 everything here moves slow.
00:08:04 The rescue teams are slow.
00:08:05 The capacities are surpassed
00:08:07 and that's why we need all the help we can get.
00:08:11 inside Venezuela because it's been very difficult for us and we're trying to manage as quickly as
00:08:17 we can. It's mostly civilians out there trying to make a difference. And by the way, what I'm
00:08:24 hearing, I'm so sorry you guys are going through it. It's tragic to hear stories like this. The
00:08:28 latest update, I just read a story that was 188. The latest update from a few minutes ago right now
00:08:32 is death toll officially hits 589. It's what the death toll is. 2980 injured and 55, 60,000 people
00:08:41 uh missing does that sound about right you are people every minute they're hearing new stories
00:08:46 of tragedy of losing friends and family yes uh well that is definitely not what you hear out
00:08:54 here pad especially because it is as simple as they have not reached the most affected areas
00:09:00 it is not possible to be known how many people have passed because they haven't even gotten to
00:09:06 them yet and that's what i'm saying they haven't gotten to any places that were the most affected
00:09:13 they're still they're still people and this is uh stories from people that have gone to the places
00:09:19 most affected civilians they hear people screaming under the buildings and i mean it's been around
00:09:26 almost 72 hours nobody can last inside a building like that under rumble that's very heavy and to
00:09:33 me it seems that you know if it is confirmed in the international news the number is most likely
00:09:40 to increase about a thousand people because it is is the devastation here and the loss is
00:09:46 incredibly big. Well Anna thank you so much for joining us here to give us an update and you know
00:09:53 we anytime things like this happen typically helps communities get closer together and especially
00:09:58 when you're relying on others to just help out and I see that happening with you and we're going
00:10:02 to do our part as well. Do any one of you guys have? Adam, you have a question? Yeah, I just
00:10:05 ask a quick question. Anna, major respect to you. We're here in South Florida. I'm from Miami. I
00:10:09 think Miami has the largest concentration of Venezuelans outside of Latin America. So I know 1.00
00:10:16 that the people of Miami are going to be helping and sending as much aid as we can. Here's my
00:10:20 question. We just had a discussion not to make this political whatsoever. I want to understand
00:10:25 the infrastructure because we just had a conversation here about the DSA and they're
00:10:30 taking over America. What has the socialist agenda done in Venezuela to basically not pay
00:10:37 attention to the economy, which leads to poor infrastructure, which leads to poorly maintained
00:10:41 buildings, which when something like this happens, the roads, the electric grids, the waters all
00:10:46 basically succumb to the issues. So what could you say about basically what socialism has done
00:10:52 to your country? Well, in that regards, what I can mostly say is that, you know, all of this
00:10:59 damage that this has done is basically being reflected in the maintenance of everything
00:11:04 and maintenance of buildings of this basic services water electricity that has all been affected
00:11:11 we actually i don't i can't say anything specific about why this has happened you know because
00:11:18 political implications and everything but i can assure you that inside venezuela there is a lack
00:11:24 of attention in the well-being of the population basically so and this is and Vincent sorry to
00:11:30 cut you off my thoughts and prayers go out to you your family everybody that's affected
00:11:33 what what what and right now as an American what what is the best way for someone to be able to
00:11:39 we're gonna do it we're gonna do it right now I'm gonna announce something right now while we're
00:11:42 doing this I've been working on something so we'll keep you posted Anna stay close to us because I'm
00:11:46 about to announce something here that the audience needs to hear we have this shirt that we just
00:11:51 produced right now that says pray for venezuela black and white and on the back it says future
00:11:56 looks bright you always need to be optimistic about the future a hundred percent of anything
00:12:01 we sell on merch today on our website we will be sending it to families that were directly impacted
00:12:07 by this financially anna please stay close to us we will be following up with you within later on
00:12:12 today if not tomorrow to make sure we get this money directly to families and depending on what
00:12:17 different gofundmes are or different things that we have in place we want to support these families
00:12:21 It's devastating that something like this is going on.
00:12:24 And I want to thank Tim Ryan that menacted us.
00:12:27 He's one of the biggest menactors out there.
00:12:29 And this is one of the ways that we're able to contribute and help other people out.
00:12:32 Anna, thank you so much for your time.
00:12:34 We appreciate you.
00:12:34 Our prayers are with you.
00:12:36 Thank you so much for this disability.
00:12:38 Thank you so much.
00:12:39 Thank you.
00:12:39 Take care.
00:12:40 Bye-bye.
00:12:40 Folks, every once in a while when stuff like this happens, you know, we're not directly impacted.
00:12:45 But if it's on your heart to want to help out these families,
00:12:50 Last time when the fires happened in L.A., Vinny, you were with me when we raised,
00:12:55 I don't know what it was, we raised $100,000.
00:12:57 Over $100,000.
00:12:58 Over $100,000.
00:12:59 We called 20-plus families, one by one by one, and we sent each of them $5,000,
00:13:05 and none of them would believe it when we would make these calls.
00:13:08 None of them.
00:13:09 They're like, this is not real.
00:13:12 I said, hey, can you call Johnny?
00:13:13 He told us about you.
00:13:15 They called Johnny.
00:13:16 No, this is real.
00:13:17 Wait, they're going to send me $5,000?
00:13:18 And they were all crying.
00:13:20 emotional so if you have family you if you have family yourself that's going through it depending
00:13:25 on how much money we raise here we're going to spend 100 percent of it we're going to send it
00:13:28 to the families in venezuela if you go to vtmerch.com if you want to support that sure pray
00:13:32 for venezuela this is not going to go away anytime soon whether you want to buy a white or a black
00:13:37 one yourself and at the same time anything else that we sell today on vtmerch.com 100 percent
00:13:44 of all sales today on vtmerch.com will go to venezuela 100 of whatever we sell on vtmerch.com

00:13:57 the profit that's going to go it's the hundred dollars that's going to go to families in
00:14:01 venezuela collectively this is our opportunity to positive positively impact some of these families

00:15:42 Devastating, to say the least.
00:15:43 Some of my favorite people I worked in, in our insurance company, 1.00
00:15:46 they were Venezuelans.
00:15:47 They remember when we would go have dinner together and the stories,
00:15:51 a lot of great stories.
00:15:53 Some of the best people come out of Venezuela, man.
00:15:55 I can't even describe it to you.
00:15:56 Now, when I went to the game, Venezuela, Honduras,
00:15:59 I don't know who was Dominican against Venezuela, the culture, the people,
00:16:03 how loud, how much fun, how much they love their country.
