The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

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.

The Democratic Socialists of America are gaining members, winning Democratic primaries, and pushing for policies that once seemed far outside the political mainstream. So why are voters turning to them now? Jorge and Paola sit down with DSA national co-chairs Megan Romer and Ashik Siddique to talk about what’s behind the political rise of democratic socialists at a time when many Americans are frustrated with the cost of living and ongoing wars, why the word “socialism” may carry a very different meaning for younger voters, and their stance on Cuba’s regime. They also discuss the pushback that the DSA has encountered, not only from Republicans but also from within the Democratic coalition itself.

Paola Ramos sits down with Rolling Stone’s Deputy Music Editor, Julyssa Lopez, to unpack how Latin music is capturing these cultural and political times. Julyssa lays out the argument that Latin music and Spanish-language songs topping the charts have become a lasting force that has consistently shaped American culture. The two journalists discuss Shakira’s four consecutive World Cup performances and how reggaeton continues to reinvent itself through emerging subgenres like reggaeton darks and cumbia goth. Julyssa also shares her experience spending time with Bad Bunny during his Coachella concert and on the set of his "WHERE SHE GOES" music video.

John Leguizamo is starring in The Odyssey, one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters, so we’re revisiting Jorge and Paola’s conversation with the Colombian-American actor to reflect on building a career in an industry that has long offered few leading roles for Latinos. Together, they look back on the experiences that shaped Leguizamo’s view of Hollywood’s lack of diverse representation, from his early days in theater to working on Carlito's Way. Jorge and Paola also discuss his perception of Latinidad and community organizing, along with John’s outspoken criticism of the Trump administration and why he identifies as a democratic socialist.
