I'm Jorge Ramos. And I'm Paola Ramos. This is The Moment, a new podcast from My Heart Radio and Radio Ambulante Studios. A space for the conversations we've been having with each other for years about this country, about our community, about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one. So I actually spent election night with mixed at his families in Arizona who were absolutely crushed by Trump's victory. But then I spent an inauguration day at a party hosted by Latino insurrectionists who were feeling something completely. different, they were elated by what they imagined was to come. These last elections in a way

confirm something that I've been aware of for a very long time. It's this idea that Latinos are one of the most misunderstood in complex communities in America. So what that means is that we need deep conversations to help us understand what's happening. So our new show, the moment, will be the home for those conversations. There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country. This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public. We'll be interviewing some of the most significant voices in America today. Do you ever feel demoralizing? I might personally lose hope, but there's an institution that doesn't lose things. And that's what I believe. Politicians, activists.

I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. I've always presented myself as American first, recognizing that Americans, the people that I care so much about, are in a different situation than we've been in in the past. Thinkers, writers, artists. Why did I allow that to happen? Why did we all allow this? Because we didn't have data. We didn't know that we were 20% of the population, that we contribute $4 trillion to the GDP. Is it harder to talk about drugs or sex or equal? Sex. Sex, right? An honest conversation with a father and a daughter, two curious journalists at times fighting to ask the next question.

Smarter, tougher questions that come from a place of deep curiosity about who we are and what it means to be us in this moment. So you know my story. For 38 years, I was a nightly news anchor, part of a team whose job. It was to report from across the U.S. to inform a Spanish-speaking Latino audience. Now, I'm an independent journalist driven by a mission to help our community make sense of this complicated country. So we hope that you'll join us.
