The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

Two Latino Evangelicals on Trump, Power, and Faith 27.05.2026 46λ

Over 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.

Latina & MAGA In The Age Of Mass Deportations: Mayra Flores 20.05.2026 53λ

Donald Trump’s gains with Latino voters in 2024 challenged long-held assumptions about how Latinos vote and why. Now, as the midterm elections approach and Republicans fight to hold power, Jorge and Paola sit down with former U.S. Representative Mayra Flores, the first Mexican-born woman sworn into Congress, to understand the appeal of conservative politics within the Latino community and how that shift could influence these upcoming elections. They also discuss immigration, the economic anxiety many are feeling right now, and why conversations like this one, despite political differences, are still worth having.

Why Millions of Latinos Trust Carlos Eduardo Espina 13.05.2026 56λ

Today, more than half of adults get some of their news from social media. In that shifting media landscape, 27-year-old activist and political influencer Carlos Eduardo Espina has built an audience of more than 20 million across platforms by translating current news and immigration issues into accessible information for Spanish-speaking communities. 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. They also discuss why Democratic politicians, including presidential hopefuls, have sought his advice and what he believes is driving the rise of the manosphere among Latino men.

The Supreme Court Just Gutted The Voting Rights Act. What Does This Mean For Your Vote? 06.05.2026 55λ

After 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.

The U.S.-Iran conflict: How a Region Survives an Impossible War 15.04.2026 53λ

Since 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.  New episodes of The Moment drop every Wednesday.

Why We Need Everyday Heroes Right Now With Sharon McMahon 08.04.2026 50λ

In 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.
