Man: Wake up, Latino! Is there a Latino here? Woooow!
Julio Vaqueiro: I’m Julio Vaqueiro. And when I first came to the US, I thought I knew the politics of the Latinos that live here.
But…it’s a bit more complicated than we all thought.
Woman: Here, we Hispanics work hard. Right, guys?
Woman: We almost never vote.
Julio Vaqueiro: No?! Why?!
Woman: Because everyone keeps making promises they never keep.
Man: And we believe that by voting for this president there’ll be lower prices at the pump… is that all you’re looking for in a president?
Man: Yeah, we love freedom, but only on a full stomach. When we’re hungry, no one really cares that much about freedom.
Julio Vaqueiro: This is El péndulo, the Latino vote from five states that will decide the presidential elections in the United States. A podcast from Noticias Telemundo and Radio Ambulante Studios.
Woman: Sure, we all complain about this and that, but hey, we don’t stop enjoying ourselves and we definitely don’t stop eating.
Julio Vaqueiro: Listen to El péndulo on iHeartRadio or on your favorite podcast app.
