Hey, everybody. We got a great one today, you know, for a change. And let me tell you why.

Maria Teresa Kumar, the founder and president of Voto Latino, is my guest. And that's how you pronounce it, Voto Latino.

It's nice.

It's not Voto Latino, like some xenophobes might do.

Voto Latino, it's not a command.

Voto Latino, that attitude is just not going to turn people out.

I know what you're thinking. So far, I don't like this podcast. That Voto Latino thing,

that just frankly makes me feel uncomfortable. And I get that. And suddenly you're thinking, wait a minute, this is

the third time Maria Teresa has done the podcast. And that's true. Well, you may be thinking then,

how can you say this is a great one for a change? Aha. Maria Teresa has been compelling, brilliant, and fascinating the last two times she's been on.

It's just that I was way, way off my game in those two shows. But this week, I am smoking hot, you know, for a change. And I can say that

because we've already recorded the interview. And if I do say so myself, I am extremely good

in this one. Finally. And you know why? Because I let Maria Teresa talk.

I don't impose myself in the conversation just to hear the sound of my voice like I usually do. A number of you have told me to listen to the guest and not interrupt the guest, you know, when they're trying to complete a good point.

Peter, isn't that right?

Yeah, Al, you've really got to be a lot more careful.

I listened to Peter, and voila, we got a great one for a change.

Maria Teresa will be on in a little bit, and you will be blown away by what Voto Latino does.

They've registered 600,000 voters just this cycle, and they're still doing it in the lead up to Georgia now because a lot of Latinos, Latinx, have turned 18 since November 3rd.

So they're just, bam, they're on it.

They counter information that their people are hearing from the bad guys.

You're a newly registered Latino.
