Two Latino Evangelicals on Trump, Power, and Faith
2w ago00:46:59Tap to summarizeOver the past decade, Latino evangelicals have grown exponentially in both numbers and political influence. Their support helped Donald Trump win the 2024 election and tilt the Latino electorate towards the Republican Party. Now, as primary elections are held across the country, Jorge and Paola sit down with two religious leaders to understand the different visions shaping today’s Latino evangelical mindset: Pastor Samuel Rodríguez, a Trump adviser and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which oversees more than 40,000 churches, and Reverend Carlos Malavé, president of the Latino Christian National Network and an outspoken critic of the current administration. They discuss Christian nationalism, immigration, safety in churches, and what advice they would give to agnostic Latinos. New episodes of The Moment drop every Wednesday.

Latina & MAGA In The Age Of Mass Deportations: Mayra Flores

In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with Carlos to talk about how he became one of the most-followed – and trusted – Latino voices in the country and the responsibility and the pressure that comes with speaking to millions of people online.

The Supreme Court Just Gutted The Voting Rights Act. What Does This Mean For Your Vote?
May 600:55:44Tap to summarizeAfter the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act last week, it’s fair to say this November’s midterm elections will be unlike any in recent memory. For Jamelle Bouie, a New York Times columnist and YouTube commentator, the decision proves one of many things: the court is unhappy with the ability of racial minorities to exercise power through political representation. In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with Bouie to unpack that idea, along with his broader claim that the Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt. He also traces the origins of the Voting Rights Act from the Civil Rights Movement, argues why it still matters today, and explains how these changes could affect Black and Latino voters in this November and beyond.

Julieta Venegas on Music, Memory, and Returning Home
Apr 2200:39:42Tap to summarizeOver the past few decades, Julieta Venegas has done it all. Multiple awards, iconic love songs, historic collaborations with massively popular artists like Bad Bunny and — most recently — she’s set to be honored at the 2026 Billboard Latin Women in Music. But after living in Argentina for eight years, Julieta returns to Mexico to release a new album and a memoir, both entitled “Norteña,” in which she reflects on what made her seek a career in music in the first place. In this episode, @JorgeRamosNews and @PaoRamos sit down with Julieta to discuss a simple premise: did she achieved what she sought at the very beginning of her career?

The U.S.-Iran conflict: How a Region Survives an Impossible War
Apr 1500:53:48Tap to summarizeSince the war in Iran began at the end of February, President Trump has been promising that the conflict would be a quick one. Six weeks later, despite heavy military losses, the Iranian regime remains intact, and to many observers, stronger than ever, both internally, and on the world stage. But how are Iranians experiencing this tumultuous and violent conflict? To make sense of this conflict, Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos talk to Catalina Gómez Ángel, one of a handful of western journalists reporting from inside Iran, where she has lived for nearly 20 years. And to explain the larger impacts of the war on the region, we speak with New York Times reporter and author Yeganeh Torbati, who covers Iran from Istanbul.

Why We Need Everyday Heroes Right Now With Sharon McMahon
Apr 800:50:12Tap to summarizeIn an era shaped by misinformation and constant political dispute, Sharon McMahon has built an audience of more than 1.4 million on Instagram by doing what few public voices now do: offering clear, fact-based, nonpartisan explanations of how government works, along with context from history and current events. In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with the #1 New York Times bestselling author to talk about how she has become a trusted voice for audiences trying to make sense of today’s chaotic political landscape and why her book The Small and the Mighty is bringing long-overlooked historical figures back into the spotlight, such as UCLA’s first Latina professor. They also discuss how she finds common ground with people who have different political beliefs and whether she sees herself ever running for office.

César Chávez: Reckoning With His Legacy And Downfall
Apr 100:50:32Tap to summarizeFor decades, César Chávez was revered as a civil rights icon and a champion of farmworker rights. But a recent New York Times investigation has brought forward allegations of sexual assault from three women. As we try to make sense of this reckoning, Jorge and Paola speak with historian Miriam Pawel, author of “The Crusades of César Chávez”, about his rise and the cult of personality that developed around his leadership.
