Live from outside the NALEO conference in Atlanta, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid are joined by CNN veteran Nick Valencia and CBS political contributor Fin Gómez to unpack seismic shifts in Latino politics. They unpack the latest CBS News polling on Latino voters, analyze how immigration and economic discontent are driving voters away from both parties, and spotlight the redistricting chaos looming in Texas and California. From the streets of Delano to the suburbs of Atlanta, this episode explores the real-life consequences of political decisions—and why 2026 might be the most consequential off-year for Latino communities yet.

Plus: sharp insights into media narratives, voter identity, and the growing disconnect between elected officials and the voters they claim to represent.

Buckle up.
