Futuro.

Yo, what up? This is Mariahino Hosa, welcome to In The Thick. And you know the jist now, this season, it's me, and my three fabulous co-hosts,

Dr. Christina Greer, Judy Reyes, and the fabulous journalist Paola Ramos who joins me today.

It's just me and Paola, hey Paola?

Just us, Maria.

So, dear listener, Paola is an Emmy Award winning journalist, you know you see her a lot on

MS NBC and Telemundo with the fabulous hair and Paola is having a moment because her second book is out this week.

It's called Defectors, The Rise of the Latino Far Right

and what it means for America.

So in this episode, we're going to talk about her book,

about extremism in this country, about miss and disinformation campaigns

aimed at Latino voters, and how all of this is going to impact the upcoming elections.

So this is politics, unfiltered. Let's get into it.

Paola, you know, give us your temperature check.

You were in Washington, D.C. last week, a a lot of events a lot of love for your work how are you feeling in this moment

What is your temperature I'm feeling great I don't have to tell you my idea but it almost feels surreal no when you finally can touch a book no I see all those words

Print it out and so in that sense I feel great I was in Washington DC yesterday and it did feel like a party.

No? And I think because there does seem to be so much momentum and so much

enthusiasm and just a complete different, for lack of a better word,

vibe shift when it comes to Vice President Harris's

momentum in the country.

On the one hand, I understand that story.
