Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid are joined by legendary columnist and commentator Ruben Navarrette to unpack the political earthquake in New York City. From Andrew Cuomo's downfall to Zohran Mamdani's insurgent rise, the trio dives deep into why Mamdani winning New York City's Democratic Primary isn't a left vs. right moment—it’s a populist revolt shaking the Democratic establishment to its core. They explore how early voting, outsider campaigns, and a growing anti-establishment sentiment are redefining the electorate—and why Latino voters are at the heart of it. Plus, Ruben drops powerful reflections on Mexican-American identity in the age of mass deportations and viral resistance. This one’s raw, urgent, and essential listening.
