00:00:15.700 Venezuela, what was happening over there with the earthquake?

00:00:18.480 7.4 earthquake and a 7.6 earthquake that hit yesterday.

00:00:23.760 Powerful earthquakes near Caracas.

00:00:25.480 This report here says at least 164 have died as rescue efforts underway.

00:00:34.180 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.

00:00:43.820 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.

00:00:54.400 Venezuela National Assembly President George Rodriguez said this afternoon those tolls are set to rise again.

00:01:00.360 The extensive damage across South American countries, aid pledges with frantic rescue efforts underway,

00:01:06.860 pledges of aid poured in from around the world.

00:01:10.300 Marco Rubio even commented on this.

00:01:12.880 The U.S. said it was immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance.

00:01:18.660 That's Marco Rubio.

00:01:20.060 U.S. response will be big.

00:01:21.780 It will be fast.

00:01:22.520 It will be effective.

00:01:23.600 and State of Emergency Acting President Delce Rodriguez

00:01:27.280 declared a State of Emergency announced.

00:01:29.300 Here's a couple videos for you to watch.

00:01:30.680 This is the airport.

00:01:31.540 This is what it looked like at the airport.

00:01:33.380 I've been through an earthquake before, the big one in Northridge.

00:01:36.080 Let me tell you, it is extremely scary when you're going through it.

00:01:40.540 This is the airport?

00:01:43.000 Wow.

00:01:45.400 You think it's the end of the world.

00:01:46.840 You literally think it's the end of the world.

00:01:48.500 And the dust you see, that's the concrete rubbing against each other in the roof.

00:01:53.600 and the pillars, that's what's going on there.

00:01:56.480 Jeez.

00:01:57.920 Oh, my goodness.

00:02:02.680 45 seconds.

00:02:03.440 This is one.

00:02:04.240 Do you have a couple other ones with properties shaking?

00:02:06.880 This is just the airport.

00:02:08.220 And, by the way, the airport's at least built on a decent structure

00:02:11.900 where you don't see it coming down.

00:02:13.200 There's some, like, watch this one here.

00:02:14.460 Look at that.

00:02:15.420 Oh.

00:02:16.700 Oh.

00:02:20.140 That's exactly what happened.

00:02:21.260 And the Northridge apartments right next to Cal State Northridge is the garage.

00:02:24.720 That's the guy with a cigarette.

00:02:25.620 Collapse.

00:02:26.140 Never drop.

00:02:26.700 That never drops a cigarette, though.

00:02:29.140 Like, shout out to whatever brand that is, cigarette.

00:02:32.200 Look at this.

00:02:34.080 Carico! Carico! Carico!

00:02:36.460 Okay. Oh, my goodness.

00:02:37.460 All right. So, let's pause there.

00:02:39.860 Devastating going through this.

00:02:40.980 Our guest today is Anda Padilla, a doctor there herself.

00:02:45.060 Anna, can you hear us?

00:02:47.540 Hi. Yes. Yes, I can hear you.

00:02:49.620 Thank you so much for having me today.

00:02:51.260 Thanks for joining us. And we appreciated that, you know, Tim Ryan made this happen, made the introduction.

00:02:56.400 So we're out here. All we see is clips. All we read is stories. We're not there.

00:03:01.740 What can you tell us of what's going on right now in Venezuela?

00:03:05.320 Well, right now, first of all, I just want to let everyone know that, you know, Venezuela is heartbroken at the moment.

00:03:11.660 The devastation and the laws is incomprehensible, first of all, and it's a big tragedy.

00:03:17.240 We've got people trapped under buildings. The rescue teams have not even reached them yet.

00:03:22.380 I mean, it's deeply personal, and I know everyone is seeing in the news, but they're not feeling how we feel.

00:03:29.940 And it's not just numbers on the screen for us.

00:03:32.920 We've had dear friends, personal friends from university that were trapped under their buildings waiting for rescue,

00:03:39.580 and they were holding on for their lives until they just couldn't anymore.

00:03:43.320 i'm sorry and um you know it's deeply personal for us uh the the truth is we were not prepared

00:03:51.320 for this the the country's not preferred for this type of stuff so that's why i'm deeply grateful

00:03:57.740 to be here today you know to spread awareness and to let everyone know and to let our american

00:04:03.420 brothers know that we do need help it's a fact we need help people are being crushed by buildings

00:04:09.300 they're waiting for everyone to come in and help and we need a lot of supplies i'm here at the

00:04:14.660 donation center at the moment i don't know if you can see around me we see it we're we're gathering

00:04:19.940 clothes we're gathering surgical materials we're gathering medicine and you know people have lost

00:04:26.820 everything people are losing everything at the moment they're living in the streets they're out

00:04:31.540 in the cold they have not eating for 24 hours and you know it's a big devastation i know it's

00:04:38.900 it's not what you see maybe in the news but here inside people are suffering and i just want to let

00:04:46.580 everyone know out there that if you can extend your hand to help us out it is deeply appreciated

00:04:52.580 we've got a bunch of friends a bunch of my friends are also setting up gofundmes there's

00:04:57.940 foundations that are trying to help and i know all of the countries are helping but the crucial

00:05:03.940 thing is it needs to be faster. You know, I had a couple of friends going down to La Guaira,

00:05:09.120 which was the most affected, the state most affected. And they said they could hear people

00:05:14.620 scream under the buildings, but there were no protection or rescue teams there yet. So it's

00:05:20.500 mostly civilians trying to do whatever they can to take out the pieces of the building and bring

00:05:26.100 people out. And, you know, we need all the resources we can. Our resources inside are

00:05:32.240 running out you know i work here uh with the hospitals and a bunch of my friends are also

00:05:38.060 in hospitals they're saying the resources are running out they're asking for donations and i

00:05:42.560 know it's not what we can see out there in the news but this is the reality and let me ask you

00:05:47.800 what did what did it feel like walk us through what happened you know when it happened both of

00:05:52.240 them what did what did it feel like how long did it last how how wide is the impact in the states

00:05:57.260 well where i lived it wasn't as intense as it was for other people i was at my house

00:06:04.260 and it felt like the longest seven or ten seconds of my life the building was shaking intensely

00:06:12.280 the lights were giving off my mom was also at the supermarket lights were giving off everything was

00:06:17.960 shaking and after everything happened where you get to calm down you start seeing the videos

00:06:23.380 videos of buildings going down building uh videos of people you know under the buildings and

00:06:31.040 nobody expected this our last earthquake was probably more than 50 years ago and and as you

00:06:40.460 may know and it is not a secret here we were not prepared for this and as soon as it came

00:06:47.420 everybody was in shock and then the devastation and the lost came after uh buildings were going

00:06:54.380 down and you started searching for your loved ones that was the worst part uh searching for

00:06:59.980 your co-workers for your friends for your family trying to reach them and it was we were all

00:07:06.200 desperate to hear of our loved ones they were okay and our friends so it was the longest seven

00:07:12.520 And seven to ten seconds, that's how long it lasted.

00:07:15.500 And that is how long it took for everything to crumble down, for people to start losing their lives, especially in La Guaira.

00:07:23.700 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.

00:07:33.880 I have friends there.

00:07:35.060 I have friends that thankfully were rescued under their building yesterday, and they're currently at the hospitals.

00:07:41.180 but some of them lost their lives

00:07:43.800 and they were very young.

00:07:44.940 Mostly it's young people losing their lives

00:07:46.800 that were in those buildings.

00:07:48.160 I had a friend yesterday that sadly passed away.

00:07:52.780 We were trying to get him a rescue team

00:07:56.100 but it was not possible

00:07:57.640 because everything is moving slow

00:08:00.200 and that's why I want to let everyone know

00:08:02.500 everything here moves slow.

00:08:04.320 The rescue teams are slow.

00:08:05.760 The capacities are surpassed

00:08:07.700 and that's why we need all the help we can get.

00:08:11.180 inside Venezuela because it's been very difficult for us and we're trying to manage as quickly as

00:08:17.380 we can. It's mostly civilians out there trying to make a difference. And by the way, what I'm

00:08:24.020 hearing, I'm so sorry you guys are going through it. It's tragic to hear stories like this. The

00:08:28.060 latest update, I just read a story that was 188. The latest update from a few minutes ago right now

00:08:32.920 is death toll officially hits 589. It's what the death toll is. 2980 injured and 55, 60,000 people

00:08:41.020 uh missing does that sound about right you are people every minute they're hearing new stories

00:08:46.420 of tragedy of losing friends and family yes uh well that is definitely not what you hear out

00:08:54.120 here pad especially because it is as simple as they have not reached the most affected areas

00:09:00.420 it is not possible to be known how many people have passed because they haven't even gotten to

00:09:06.300 them yet and that's what i'm saying they haven't gotten to any places that were the most affected

00:09:13.500 they're still they're still people and this is uh stories from people that have gone to the places

00:09:19.040 most affected civilians they hear people screaming under the buildings and i mean it's been around

00:09:26.320 almost 72 hours nobody can last inside a building like that under rumble that's very heavy and to

00:09:33.920 me it seems that you know if it is confirmed in the international news the number is most likely

00:09:40.040 to increase about a thousand people because it is is the devastation here and the loss is

00:09:46.320 incredibly big. Well Anna thank you so much for joining us here to give us an update and you know

00:09:53.160 we anytime things like this happen typically helps communities get closer together and especially

00:09:58.720 when you're relying on others to just help out and I see that happening with you and we're going

00:10:02.780 to do our part as well. Do any one of you guys have? Adam, you have a question? Yeah, I just

00:10:05.380 ask a quick question. Anna, major respect to you. We're here in South Florida. I'm from Miami. I

00:10:09.980 think Miami has the largest concentration of Venezuelans outside of Latin America. So I know 1.00

00:10:16.360 that the people of Miami are going to be helping and sending as much aid as we can. Here's my

00:10:20.940 question. We just had a discussion not to make this political whatsoever. I want to understand

00:10:25.560 the infrastructure because we just had a conversation here about the DSA and they're

00:10:30.400 taking over America. What has the socialist agenda done in Venezuela to basically not pay

00:10:37.040 attention to the economy, which leads to poor infrastructure, which leads to poorly maintained

00:10:41.080 buildings, which when something like this happens, the roads, the electric grids, the waters all

00:10:46.360 basically succumb to the issues. So what could you say about basically what socialism has done

00:10:52.320 to your country? Well, in that regards, what I can mostly say is that, you know, all of this

00:10:59.840 damage that this has done is basically being reflected in the maintenance of everything

00:11:04.800 and maintenance of buildings of this basic services water electricity that has all been affected

00:11:11.720 we actually i don't i can't say anything specific about why this has happened you know because

00:11:18.120 political implications and everything but i can assure you that inside venezuela there is a lack

00:11:24.480 of attention in the well-being of the population basically so and this is and Vincent sorry to

00:11:30.060 cut you off my thoughts and prayers go out to you your family everybody that's affected

00:11:33.420 what what what and right now as an American what what is the best way for someone to be able to

00:11:39.320 we're gonna do it we're gonna do it right now I'm gonna announce something right now while we're

00:11:42.160 doing this I've been working on something so we'll keep you posted Anna stay close to us because I'm

00:11:46.860 about to announce something here that the audience needs to hear we have this shirt that we just

00:11:51.240 produced right now that says pray for venezuela black and white and on the back it says future

00:11:56.800 looks bright you always need to be optimistic about the future a hundred percent of anything

00:12:01.340 we sell on merch today on our website we will be sending it to families that were directly impacted

00:12:07.020 by this financially anna please stay close to us we will be following up with you within later on

00:12:12.040 today if not tomorrow to make sure we get this money directly to families and depending on what

00:12:17.240 different gofundmes are or different things that we have in place we want to support these families

00:12:21.100 It's devastating that something like this is going on.

00:12:24.520 And I want to thank Tim Ryan that menacted us.

00:12:27.240 He's one of the biggest menactors out there.

00:12:29.840 And this is one of the ways that we're able to contribute and help other people out.

00:12:32.960 Anna, thank you so much for your time.

00:12:34.300 We appreciate you.

00:12:34.880 Our prayers are with you.

00:12:36.680 Thank you so much for this disability.

00:12:38.460 Thank you so much.

00:12:39.200 Thank you.

00:12:39.600 Take care.

00:12:40.140 Bye-bye.

00:12:40.400 Folks, every once in a while when stuff like this happens, you know, we're not directly impacted.

00:12:45.680 But if it's on your heart to want to help out these families,

00:12:50.180 Last time when the fires happened in L.A., Vinny, you were with me when we raised,

00:12:55.660 I don't know what it was, we raised $100,000.

00:12:57.660 Over $100,000.

00:12:58.440 Over $100,000.

00:12:59.400 We called 20-plus families, one by one by one, and we sent each of them $5,000,

00:13:05.500 and none of them would believe it when we would make these calls.

00:13:08.740 None of them.

00:13:09.120 They're like, this is not real.

00:13:12.360 I said, hey, can you call Johnny?

00:13:13.660 He told us about you.

00:13:15.360 They called Johnny.

00:13:16.080 No, this is real.

00:13:17.120 Wait, they're going to send me $5,000?

00:13:18.580 And they were all crying.

00:13:20.180 emotional so if you have family you if you have family yourself that's going through it depending

00:13:25.560 on how much money we raise here we're going to spend 100 percent of it we're going to send it

00:13:28.480 to the families in venezuela if you go to vtmerch.com if you want to support that sure pray

00:13:32.700 for venezuela this is not going to go away anytime soon whether you want to buy a white or a black

00:13:37.220 one yourself and at the same time anything else that we sell today on vtmerch.com 100 percent

00:13:44.620 of all sales today on vtmerch.com will go to venezuela 100 of whatever we sell on vtmerch.com

00:15:42.180 Devastating, to say the least.

00:15:43.420 Some of my favorite people I worked in, in our insurance company, 1.00

00:15:46.600 they were Venezuelans.

00:15:47.400 They remember when we would go have dinner together and the stories,

00:15:51.440 a lot of great stories.

00:15:53.560 Some of the best people come out of Venezuela, man.

00:15:55.380 I can't even describe it to you.

00:15:56.460 Now, when I went to the game, Venezuela, Honduras,

00:15:59.640 I don't know who was Dominican against Venezuela, the culture, the people,

00:16:03.420 how loud, how much fun, how much they love their country.

00:16:06.480 So if you want to support, again,
