00:00I am an American woman.
00:12I am the daughter of Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez, a proud daughter and son of Puerto
00:19Rico.
00:20I am Puerto Rican.
00:21Soy boricua carajo.
00:23And yes, I was born here and we are Americans.
00:35I am a mother.
00:36I am a mother.
00:37I am a sister.
00:38I am an actor and an entertainer.
00:39And I like Hollywood endings.
00:41I like when the good guy, or in this case, the good girl, wins.
00:49And with an understanding of our past and a faith in our future, I will be casting my
00:55ballot for Kamala Harris for President of the United States proudly.
01:03You know what?
01:05We should be emotional.
01:07We should be upset.
01:08We should be scared and outraged.
01:10We should.
01:12Our pain matters.
01:13We matter.
01:15You matter.
01:16Your voice and your vote matters.
01:20And look, don't be afraid to make people around you uncomfortable.
01:24Invite people around you to be the change, to go out there and vote.
01:28Nobody likes having tough conversations or talking about politics, but trust me, I've
01:33been in some of these rooms.
01:34I see the way power works in this country.
01:37They love it when you do nothing.
01:38The next President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
02:08And I have to say, I strongly believe that the relationship between tribal nations and
02:21the United States is sacred and that we must honor tribal sovereignty always and embrace
02:29our trust and treaty obligations and ensure tribal self-determination.
02:35And as President, I will defend these principles always.
02:42I have lived the promise of America.
02:45And today I see the promise of America in everyone here tonight, everyone here tonight.
02:56In all of us.
02:59Si se puede.
03:03I see the promise of America.
03:06Si se puede.
03:08Si se puede.
03:10Si se puede.
03:12Nevada Day, everybody.
