California Governor Gavin Newsom has long been seen as a wealthy entrepreneur, a progressive leader, and even a “pampered prince.” Now, as his name circulates as a potential presidential candidate, he is trying to define his legacy on his own terms as he tours for his new book, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery.  Recorded live in Miami, Jorge and Paola sit down with Newsom to talk about grappling with his mother’s death and his views on euthanasia. He also speaks about confronting Trump online, today’s manosphere, and how his views on immigration have been shaped by governing a border state.  New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Last night, in a partisan, combative State of the Union address, the longest in modern history, President Trump outlined his vision of the U.S. as prosperous, strong, and respected. His speech comes at a complicated political time for the President, when polls say 60% of Americans feel the country is worse off than it was a year ago.  Jorge and Paola Ramos sit down with The Moment’s executive producer, Daniel Alarcón, to unpack the address, how it could shape the 2026 midterm elections, and key issues he left out.
