[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, welcome to the show guys.
0:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to Humanity Unplug Podcasts.
0:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host, your name, a criminal, and we are glad to be here one more time and again.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we would like to thank all our supporters, everyone from countries, the countries, continents, cities, states, neighbors, social media platforms.
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys are doing a great job getting the word out there.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm very proud that I'm very selective and what we put out.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: to see the reaction to the material we put out and the information we put out, it touches my heart.
1:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I started this podcast a year ago, almost a year and a half ago, and I know I just wanted to change, make a change, or impact somebody, or just give out information that someone it can use and pass down to somebody else.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: to do the behold, 145 episodes later, maybe 150 now, episodes later, we all over the continent.
1:36
[SPEAKER_00]: you guys might not see it because most of you don't have the advantage that I have to look at who downloads this stuff, but people in different countries really really listen to us and a large support come from the United States, but overseas is where I sat, people are doubling our numbers overseas.
1:59
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of information that we give out, it's just that, it's information, it's just things that may keep your eye peeled and to know what's going on in the world, in the society.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And we all live in, we all just trying to be around.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: blend in with each other.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And when one country suffers, we all suffer.
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: When one life is lost, all lives are impacted.
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't think so, just look at the economy, look at your community, look at what goes on each and every day in your neighborhood, it's impacted.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they say voting is so important because the officials you elect to be your spokesperson will affect your community and your environment and how you live.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you put somebody that's not for the people in charge, then you look for a rough hard run with that person elected as an official for you.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very important that people pay attention to who's getting elected or being pushed by the machine or just in general, because that's where we're headed, normally when you see certain people being pushed, certain things change and shift, so you just need to pay attention.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to apologize to all my listeners.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry for all my supporters.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry that I took so long to come out with this episode, but I didn't want to give you low, low hanging fruit.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And still, I went and had to give you low hanging fruit.
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned this in the prior episode of 144, but I didn't go into deep expansion on this topic that I'm going to talk about today.

4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's Friday.
4:18

4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to try to give you stuff that.

4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes it works.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty good.
4:51

6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I talked about that prior about Venezuela having a earthquake and now this is the aftermath of the earthquake and the damage that is done and carnage of people left devastated lives lost impacting nations all over so we need to talk about it a little bit and deep deep into it, I'm not going hold you long.

6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And understand, you know, what it's about?
6:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know it was an earthquake in Venezuela.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
6:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to play this again as a short skit of the earthquake and how people was running around at the airport.
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a continuation.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe in 144 where I played this clip.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to play us some more clips.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this earthquake happened about six days ago, five days ago, but it really took shift about two days ago.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
7:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just things shaking, people going crazy running around at the airport, from people staying and still hiding in any of these things.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in English, it's up title at the bottom guys.
7:56
[SPEAKER_08]: Grab the situation that we're looking for.
7:59
[SPEAKER_08]: The remote, the act of magnitude.
8:01
[SPEAKER_08]: And what do I do?
8:03
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, Cherba, I'll grab it.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: All the baggage claim, everything, all the tile from the ceiling is full on the ground.
8:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not very debris, construction, like a construction place.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything is dust, everything is concrete.
8:18
[SPEAKER_08]: It's good that I'm in the authority to finish it.
8:19
[SPEAKER_08]: Really safe.
8:20
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm looking for a place after it.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Alligators are ringing all people may be stuck inside the elevated and at the airport certain people are coming out.
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to try to see that first because that was the first one.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to give y'all some more.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, you know, you got to get some more.
8:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to get into it a little bit.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: First, I'm going to give you this one here.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the one.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
9:14
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, Tantapiao Yabal, he knows very well.
9:17
[SPEAKER_12]: At 22-year-old brother was pulled out alive from the ruins by his own friend, but he succumbed to his injuries last night.
9:25
[SPEAKER_12]: And there's more.
9:26
[SPEAKER_12]: Tanzaparecia yonaparecia, mishorin, mi mi primo, mi tia.
9:33
[SPEAKER_12]: How are you?
9:33
[SPEAKER_12]: Tell me, a young family member is not missing.
9:36
[SPEAKER_12]: A missing.
9:36
[SPEAKER_12]: We confirmed that.
9:38
[SPEAKER_12]: The magnitude of loss has yet to be fully felt here in Venezuela, as families drift from hopeful to disbelief as a real sense or bewilderment, and now face the very painful task of having to track down their bodies.
9:54
[SPEAKER_12]: I make my way to see a forensic pathologist who has just returned from the makeshift mock in the heart hit area of La Guida.
10:02
[SPEAKER_12]: We meet in the car and protect our identity for fear of retaliation.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be on the YouTube page, but you should see these boxes of bodies just land all on the ground.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: This reminds me of COVID, but this and whole other whole number that mentioned of COVID, because seeing United States had some of the resources.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know Venezuela don't have the resources, so it's crazy out there.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Really bad.
10:41
[SPEAKER_12]: So I belong to take from a frontline worker seeing deaf up close.
10:47
[SPEAKER_12]: Isiswara Sienen, Kadakas, Venezuela.
10:50
[SPEAKER_07]: Or rescue crews are trying to save a man that stuck beneath the rubble of a shopping mall parking lot.
10:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Our specialists, from Portugal, they say that they've been in contact with the 44-year-old security guard.
11:01
[SPEAKER_07]: He's been trapped for more than a week now after those twin deadly quakes.
11:09
[SPEAKER_09]: What are you talking about?
11:12
[SPEAKER_09]: Iike.
11:14
[SPEAKER_09]: I was here, and I told them to stop me, and they said, I'm going to be late.
11:18
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to be late.
11:20
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to be late, and I'm going to be late.
11:27
[SPEAKER_07]: It is just a remarkable scene that's playing out right now where you can hear that voice still sounding resilient deep beneath all that pile of rubble with their using right now for responders and rescue crews they've established a line to at least Established contact and also be able to provide some sort of sustenance as he's been down there for eight day imagine being able to build an app with your name on.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry guys, I got a playlist.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me a second.
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It's unfortunate, but you know, they got to pay the bills.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
12:03
[SPEAKER_07]: Interactual crews, they are helping to make many other rescues as well.
12:07
[SPEAKER_07]: But this does come as a death toll.
12:09
[SPEAKER_07]: It's now risen to almost 2,300 people.
12:12
[SPEAKER_07]: About 2,000 US troops are also assisting local volunteers in the search for the missing there.
12:18
[SPEAKER_07]: And they said that they were fully focused on saving lives until they're told to leave.
12:23
[SPEAKER_07]: And the search continues for a group of Venezuelans who had just arrived back in their country after being deported from the United States the day that the quay said they were staying at a hotel in Le Guido, which collapsed in the disaster.
12:36
[SPEAKER_07]: Some did manage to escape, but others are still missing and their family members are waiting nearby for any updates saying they contribute used to fund a positive on reports.
12:47
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been a week since a double earthquake devastated Venezuela, but for Ninozco Gutierrez, the pain feels very fresh.
13:04
[SPEAKER_06]: She said she escaped miraculously with just minor injuries, scrapes and bruises, slipping from under the rubble and walking for two miles before fighting help.
13:15
[SPEAKER_06]: But these latest tragedy, part of an endless list of blows, she fled Venezuela's economic crisis in 2018 and had been leaving in Minnesota as an undocumented immigrant since 2024.
13:29
[SPEAKER_02]: This year, to U.S. citizens die for defendants, the U.S. administration really made a mess with the migrants.
13:39
[SPEAKER_06]: Scared by the unrest in Minneapolis, she moved to Miami, where after a incident with her daughter, she was arrested, charged with the misdemeanor and transfer to ICE custody.
13:58
[SPEAKER_06]: The porcelain June 24, she and other 145 migrants landed in Caracas, just hours before the tremors began.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: They took our handcuff off, thank God, because finally I was going to be free.
14:14
[SPEAKER_06]: Gutierrez and the others were in this hotel when the walls began to shake, the floor crumbling under her feet.
14:21
[SPEAKER_06]: And when you got out of there, what did you see?
14:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't believe it.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I was conscious or not.
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything was so fast and I asked God, what did you allow days?
14:46
[SPEAKER_06]: In a statement to CNN, I said that when an individual is no longer in ice custody, the agency is no longer responsible for them.
14:56
[SPEAKER_06]: At home, Gutierrez is somehow trying to rebuild her life.
15:00
[SPEAKER_06]: She reconnected with her daughter, Oriana.
15:03
[SPEAKER_06]: A daughter she had not seen in four years, and in signs that life goes on despite the tragedy, her niece has just even birthed 12th baby.
15:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Stefano puts her on CNN, Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
15:16
[SPEAKER_07]: And a few moments you'll hear from a member of one humanitarian group and she'll discuss what will be like eventually transitioning from rescue to the solemn task of recovery.
15:28
[SPEAKER_07]: But meanwhile, communication blackouts and Venezuela and a lack of information.
15:31
[SPEAKER_07]: They are making the anxiety just so much worse for family members that are stuck thousands of miles away.
15:38
[SPEAKER_07]: CNN's Carolina Paghetto spoke with a mother in Miami who's desperate to find her son who's likely
15:47
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't imagine what it's like not knowing, because I'll be honest with you.
15:52
[SPEAKER_04]: If at least I knew something has been so many days, not here, not there, not anywhere.
15:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Forgive me, I can't speak.
16:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Clenching to her rosary Mariana Gambedo says she will not lose hope or faith that her son, Levia Alfredo Carizzo Gambedo and his wife, Valentina Maria Angulo, are found.
16:11
[SPEAKER_04]: He's alive there in a hospital.
16:15
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going to lose faith.
16:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I have to be strong.
16:18
[SPEAKER_04]: He's my son and there are miracles.
16:21
[SPEAKER_04]: I ask God to help me to help all of us, all of the New Zealanders who are going through this.
16:27
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't deserve it.
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: The young couple had moved to the state of La Guida two years ago looking to build a new life and start a family.
16:34
[SPEAKER_03]: They bought an apartment in the Coral Bayia building located right on the coast.
16:39
[SPEAKER_03]: He left for love.
16:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Because she has a son, he was in Maguada, she's from Maguada, and he's from Valencia.
16:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Today, a week after the tragedy, only Rebel concrete slabs and twisted metal remain after the earthquakes on June 24th shook the nation.
16:56
[SPEAKER_04]: The last thing we knew is that they were at home.
16:59
[SPEAKER_04]: After that, I tried to contact him several times, but there was no response.
17:03
[SPEAKER_10]: The last time I spoke with her was Saturday, and I'll tell you something.
17:07
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't leave a message to answer later.
17:09
[SPEAKER_10]: The next time I wrote was, friend, are you okay?
17:12
[SPEAKER_10]: Friend, are you okay?
17:14
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm still waiting for her response.
17:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Mariana Blanco, a friend of Valentina, and the family have only been able to communicate through this chat for Miami.
17:23
[SPEAKER_03]: She is calling on the totals of Mexico to help find them.
17:26
[SPEAKER_10]: Because of the frequency of these tragedies, you are the most trained.
17:33
[SPEAKER_03]: According to Mariana, neighbors and relatives of the nearly 20 families who lived in the Coral Beta building have not received the machinery and equipment or necessary assistance, something that makes the search efforts and signs of life even more difficult to trace.
17:48
[SPEAKER_10]: We need shovels, cranes, gloves, masks, and we need... That's the thing, guys.
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You can rescue people if you got the resources.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: us a legit rescue team.
18:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just move this concrete and stuff with your hands.
18:14
[SPEAKER_10]: It those rescue teams.
18:16
[SPEAKER_03]: While Levy and Friddle's mother, who is here in the Lina Pagaro, CNN, Miami.
18:23
[SPEAKER_07]: Lois Pace is the regional director for the Americas at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cross in society as well as the former director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Global Affairs.
18:35
[SPEAKER_07]: Lois, thank you so much for taking the time out, Titus.
18:39
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, Paula, for having me.
18:41
[SPEAKER_07]: So you're there in Cadacas, Lois.
18:42
[SPEAKER_07]: So what do we can get started with and update on the IFRC's humanitarian mission there in Venezuela?
18:48
[SPEAKER_07]: We're just over a week now, since that awful tragedy.
18:55
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, the priorities your main just taking care of the people who are affected there are literally thousands who remain displaced, of course, the government and other organizations and institutions have set up shelters to serve those thousands we're providing food health.
19:13
[SPEAKER_11]: and other services alongside a number of organizations that have come to Caracas.
19:19
[SPEAKER_11]: But yeah, the Red Cross is just really focused on ensuring we get to people where they are, not just in the hardest hit areas, but in all of the areas over the days and weeks to come.
19:30
[SPEAKER_07]: We've heard almost a daily basis from people there.
19:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They have dispatched 17 metric tons of humanity supplies for Venezuela people, 17 metric tons, that's a lot of stuff guys, that's a lot.
19:49
[SPEAKER_07]: especially the Venezuelan people growing out rage with the government response.
19:53
[SPEAKER_07]: When it comes to groups from the outside they're coming in to step up to help.
19:57
[SPEAKER_07]: Just how crucial is it to have that help from organizations such as yours and and from other countries that have been flying in?
20:06
[SPEAKER_11]: It's been really important, and I think really a bomb to the community and to the government, frankly, we've been welcomed with open arms on all sides.
20:15
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it helps that the Red Cross is just such a well-recognized institution, including here in Venezuela.
20:22
[SPEAKER_11]: There's, in fact, a law that really dictates how the Venezuela Red Cross works alongside the government.
20:31
[SPEAKER_11]: as an independent neutral and partial institution and that helps us really have the confidence of communities here given our 130 one years of existence and all of the volunteers that come from the communities themselves.
20:46
[SPEAKER_07]: What are the challenges those voices you're out there working and trying to provide that relief?
20:54
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh goodness.
20:55
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, there have been some access challenges other those seem to have your next breakdown could cost now.
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry guys, you got to play it.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of seconds we'll be back to this guys for a program.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
21:12
[SPEAKER_11]: for people to process, we will start to recover, bodies, remains, we want to do so in a safe and dignified manner for everyone.
21:24
[SPEAKER_11]: And so I just need to pause and recognize the emotions around that, including for
21:29
[SPEAKER_11]: For frontline workers, I was able to have conversations with some of those search and rescue teams today, recognizing that there are still people under the rubble who perhaps can't be saved because of the status of some of those structures because of the time we have to save them before
21:52
[SPEAKER_11]: um they they've all victim to this tragedy um and so that's that's quite hard too and then they're all the other issues that come up is not just about shelter which is critically important it's the fact that people
22:05
[SPEAKER_11]: perhaps have lost their jobs.
22:07
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, the airport, the International Airport remains closed and a lot of people affected live close by work and places like the airport.
22:15
[SPEAKER_11]: Also a place that was affected is a major tourist area.
22:19
[SPEAKER_11]: Again, those hotels have gone away.
22:22
[SPEAKER_11]: And so what are people doing to sustain themselves?
22:24
[SPEAKER_11]: That's another challenge I think will face even the longer term.
22:29
[SPEAKER_07]: No, Luis, I'm glad you mentioned to the emotional impact on these first responders and on these crews that have been out there ready for days.
22:38
[SPEAKER_07]: It was just on Wednesday that we heard from the UN disaster assessment and coordination team, the told CNN that rescues past seven days have been documented in other disasters, but the reality is that those would be considered to use that official's word miraculous.
22:55
[SPEAKER_07]: Of course, we're all holding out for a miracle.
22:59
[SPEAKER_07]: If we could close perhaps with how people who are watching this around the world can help, if they wish to do so.
23:07
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, thank you for asking that, Polo.
23:09
[SPEAKER_11]: We have been really proud to have launched in appeal and emergency appeal for funding.
23:15
[SPEAKER_11]: Funding really does go a long way in these situations.
23:19
[SPEAKER_11]: Of course, we have the people who are qualified to come and do this work.
23:24
[SPEAKER_11]: And the Venezuela Red Cross, the other agencies and authorities involved are very clear about the goods and services they require.
23:32
[SPEAKER_11]: But we need the funding.
23:36
[SPEAKER_11]: 20% of the way there, maybe 30% of the way there in terms of pledges, but given the law road ahead, agencies like across, Venezuela, Red Cross, international Federation of Red Cross, Bill.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: People are out there in tents, guys, just in tents that have no water, no food, just in tents, man.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
24:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so sad.
24:04
[SPEAKER_11]: require those resources to do more for the people of Venezuela in the short and long term.
24:11
[SPEAKER_07]: Where we are following some updates out of Venezuela where rescue crews are trying to save a man that stuck beneath the rubble of a shopping mall parking lot.
24:20
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, just a short time ago, the crews gathered outside the access points to that site.
24:25
[SPEAKER_07]: see them there preparing the 44-year-old security guard.
24:28
[SPEAKER_07]: He has been trapped for more than a week now after last week's deadly earthquakes.
24:34
[SPEAKER_07]: And they've been able to make contact with them.
24:35
[SPEAKER_07]: Listen to this.
24:36
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you hear me?
24:39
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I hear you.
24:39
[SPEAKER_09]: I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you, I
24:53
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, one of us that is good afternoon says that 44 year old man, you can see still trapped beneath the rubble as they scramble to try to save them.
25:00
[SPEAKER_07]: The operation is really quite risky and it is taking help from teams from multiple countries in order to pull him out safely.
25:08
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, they've been not only watching the manner on the clock, but they've been giving him food as well as fluids and they've had to establish a line there to be able to provide him with that sustenance.
25:18
[SPEAKER_07]: Again, we are
25:19
[SPEAKER_07]: following this.
25:21
[SPEAKER_07]: And of course, as soon as there are any developments, hopefully positive developments in this, we'll certainly bring those to you here on CNN.
25:28
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, while the death toll in Venezuela, it is now risen to almost 2,300 people.
25:33
[SPEAKER_07]: Some families, though, you see, they are still holding on to hope that they can find their missing loved ones, even though they haven't
25:40
[SPEAKER_07]: been seen since the earthquakes hit over a week ago.
25:45
[SPEAKER_07]: But as unidentified bodies pile up and temporary moards, it is clear that not all of those reunions will happen as they hoped.
25:52
[SPEAKER_07]: See, then it's as far as reports from Calacas.
25:56
[SPEAKER_12]: Then as wealons are still looking desperately searching for their loved one.
26:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you guys to know that this was a good coverage.
26:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoyed this one.
26:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's sad that the people of Venezuela is going through that and recovery is very slow because the resources are terrible.
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: you can't bring in machinery and the structure that's needed because they don't have the resources to do it.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of the recoveries based on manpower and knowledge.
26:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, Blue Cross Blue Shield is in that I haven't seen FEMA at all.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know where it's FEMA at, but no FEMA signs.
26:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't heard nothing from FEMA to go over there and assist or bring some type of support, look like there's a lot of non-profit and stuff like that, donating money and giving to the cause.
27:03
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me know your thoughts, you know your prayers and how you feel about such event like Minnesota and the aftermath of the madness, two devastating earthquakes that hit.
27:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It shook up the world and people have been missing now seven days, six days, eight days,
27:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And some people are still alive buried underneath the rubble of concrete and metal.
27:43
[SPEAKER_00]: My thoughts can only go out to someone who hasn't seen a herd from a loved one.
27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my prayers.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
27:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I would do.
27:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I guess I can only say in conclusion is make sure you take the time to talk to your loved ones as much as you can, because you never know when they are reachable today, and you can't reach them tomorrow.
28:17
[SPEAKER_00]: those are my thoughts and we have to roll with the dice and it's given to us.
28:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host, Jemaine McCrimon, this is Hemanley on Plot Podcast.
28:28
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a hundred and forty-fifth episode, Venezuela after math.
28:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You decide, you know?
28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: If you'd like to donate and quite sure you can locate Blue Cross Blue Shield, you can locate probably Red Cross, you probably can FEMA or quite sure there's other private entities that you might can.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: donate to the cause to try to help people in need, such as the people in Venezuela, because they got a long recovery time coming.
29:02
[SPEAKER_00]: The structure is crazy.
29:04
[SPEAKER_00]: The houses, everything looked like they're about, they're going to take four, maybe three to four years to get back.
29:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace and God bless y'all, protect yourself at all times.
