-Oh, thank you so much for doing our show.

I know you guys are actually pretty close in real life.

-I've seen photos of you guys out. I'm like, "What?"

Like, I would probably freak o-- I might cry

if I ever saw the whole -- you guys all together.

-[ Laughs ] Well, let's make that happen, Jimmy.

I want to see you cry. -No, don't make me cry.

-Well, there was one time where -- well, they surprised me

with a bachelorette party that I didn't want.

But they took me to a restaurant, and, of course,

at each of our place was, like, a pair of jeans

So that night, like, restaurant-goers were treated to

watching "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" decorate jeans.

-Then the liquor came, and then it got more exciting.

-People got to watch us decorate jeans inside of a restaurant.

Hey, America, I want to talk to you about -- we're five days

from Election Day, and I just want to thank you.

You're doing so much great work to help encourage people

I follow you on Instagram and all the socials.

where you answer simple questions about voting.

-Well, you know, back in 2018 when we were trying to

get people out for the midterm elections,

I realized that, like, a lot of people didn't even know

what the midterm elections were or, like, what the point

And I realized I had this tool to just, like, speak directly to

And so I just started trying to explain things,

and I remember asking people like, "Why aren't you voting?

Like, just tell me. I need to know. Like, why?"

And, you know, I'm expecting these big ideological, you know,

reasons of like, you know, "The system's rigged.

"I don't have a car to get to the polls."

"I don't know where to go to get registered."

to solve with information, with resources,

and I thought, you know, "I'm going to do what I can do

with my platform to give information to the people

It feels like the thing people come up against the most

You know, and I was lucky enough to speak to this, like,

I get to speak to, like, an election law attorney,

Marc Elias, and, you know, I asked him like,

And he just said, "Oh, my God, does it matter."

Like, in 2018, we lost a Senate race in Florida

Do you know what would be happening right now

if there was another Democrat in the Senate?

So one of the things people have to remember is that, you know,

You're voting for senators and congressmen

people who make such a massive impact in your community

So showing up and voting in those local races

-I want to talk about your new initiative called She Se Puede.

Can you explain how this started and what it is?

-Yeah. She Se Puede is a new online platform that I launched

with my dear friend Eva Longoria and also a number of

other amazing Latinas across business and politics

And it's a new lifestyle platform for Latinas.

It's a place for us to be celebrated and to be empowered
