What happened in Venezuela after the twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes?

Dave Anthony 0:03
A disaster in Venezuela. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. Two powerful earthquakes a minute apart flattened homes and buildings, killing at least 164 people. Almost 1,000 are injured. More are buried in the rubble, and the U.S. is helping.
Marco Rubio 0:17
We're already deploying search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, Virginia, and Los Angeles. Secretary of State Marco Rubio a short time ago. There'll be some others we'll add. That's their most immediate need right now is search and rescue efforts. They have a bunch of collapsed buildings, and so they'll need a lot of help in terms of digging through that.
Jonathan Savage 0:33
And the U.S. will send other assistance. The twin quakes had magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, the strongest to hit Venezuela in more than a century. Damage has been reported in several states. In the capital, Caracas, which was badly hit, power is out for many, and the city's metro system and airport have been closed.
Dave Anthony 0:52
Talks is Jonathan Savage.

How is the U.S. government responding with search and rescue and international aid for Venezuela?

Dave Anthony 0:53
Back to Secretary Rubio. He spoke in Bahrain after meeting with leaders of Gulf countries talking about Iran.
Marco Rubio 0:58
One thing that came across very clear... is there is zero support, zero support among the Gulf countries for any sort of toll or fees or anything that charges for the use of international waters.
Dave Anthony 1:08
This has more oil and other shipping moves through the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. and Iran signed a deal and continue nuclear talks. And Rubio's hopeful Israel and Lebanon can work out peace versus Hezbollah.
Marco Rubio 1:18
You're not going to have peace and stability in this region as long as there are non-state actors operating within the boundaries and borders of sovereign countries and being funded by Iran.
Dave Anthony 1:26
Well, Hezbollah and Iran are demanding Israel withdraw from Lebanon. A reversal at the Senate, rejecting a war power's resolution to limit U.S. actions in Iran the day after approving it. Though President Trump calls the resolution meaningless, two Republicans have switched their votes, including Bill Cassidy, after he and the president shouted at each other during a lunch meeting.
Unknown 1:44
And if someone tries to bully me to say, wait a second, because I am whatever I am, I'm going to bully you, I ain't going to put up with that.
Dave Anthony 1:50
The president is also demanding senators approve a voter ID bill that also restricts mail-in balloting as a federal judge blocks a Trump executive order on new voting rules.

Well, ahead of the America 250 celebration, President Trump held a rally last night on the National Mall in Washington to kick off the Great American State Fair, saying we're in a golden age.
Donald Trump 2:27
We have reclaimed our sovereignty, regained our liberty, restored our prosperity, and we have saved our country.
Dave Anthony 2:34
There's a new Fox News poll on what Americans think of our country now.
Grinnell Scott 2:38
Right now, 53% of registered voters say they're proud of the country. A year ago, that number was 58%. When asked to describe what it means to be an American in a word or phrase, 36% chose freedom and liberty, while 15% chose patriotism and national pride. A majority, 54%, say they believe the nation's best days are ahead, an improvement from just 43% who believed that three years ago. But signs of pessimism still exist, with 60% saying democracy today is not working very well, if at all. Gernal Scott, Fox News.
Dave Anthony 3:17
Almost a year after a flooding disaster, a summer camp in Texas is filed for bankruptcy.
Jessica Rosenthal 3:22
Documents filed in bankruptcy court in Houston reveal Camp Mystic is $10 million in debt with assets up to only $500,000. Last fall, families of the 25 campers and two counselors killed in the July 4th flooding sued for roughly $1 million in damages. They say the camp was unprepared for an emergency. The flooding along the Guadalupe River that day killed more than 130 people, including the owner of Camp Mystic, Richard Eastland.
