This week, Chuck Rocha joins Mike Madrid from sunny Palm Springs to tackle the biggest stories shaking American politics—and the Latino community—in real time. From the recent visit of El Salvador's president to the White House and the implications of unhinged deportations to the Trump administration's move to label international gangs as terrorist organizations, and what that means for due process and TPS holders just trying to build a life here. Chuck shares a deeply personal story about his business partner's struggles with TPS, while Mike lays out the constitutional crisis unfolding in real time. They also break down rising grassroots energy, the shifting tide of public opinion, and what recent fundraising numbers from AOC and Bernie tell us about the electorate's mood. Plus, a preview of the high-stakes Arizona special election in the 7th Congressional District, the drama with Myra Flores and district-shopping in Texas, and the launch of the new Campeones PAC!It's not just political analysis—it's a call to action.

Join Matt Lewis as he welcomes Mike Madrid, Republican consultant, Lincoln Project co-founder, and author of 'The Latino Century,' to dive into two seismic topics shaking the political landscape, plus one deep, esoteric one. -- First, they unpack the explosive Jeffrey Goldberg Signal scandal—how did a journalist end up in a sensitive chat with Trump's national security team? Is this a fleeting outrage or a sign of deeper incompetence? Madrid breaks down its impact on Trump's fading honeymoon phase, consumer confidence, and rising Democratic momentum. -- Then, they explore the Latino vote's transformation—why third-generation Latinos are shifting right and voting like assimilated working-class Americans. From institutional collapse to populism's rise, this conversation reveals how technology, demographics, and power dynamics are reshaping democracy. -- Lastly, don't miss Madrid's insights on Trump's endgame, the Tea Party's legacy, and his optimistic vision for a Latinized America. -- Get 'The Latino Century' https://www.amazon.com/Latino-Century-Americas-Transforming-Democracy/dp/1668015269and follow Madrid's Substack, 'The Great Transformation' https://greattransformation.substack.com/ Support "Matt Lewis & The News" at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFollow Matt Lewis & Cut Through the Noise:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattklewis/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

What's behind the political and social transformation taking place in the U.S.? According to Mike Madrid, author, veteran political strategist and expert on Latino voting trends, it's digital technology and demographics. His latest book is "The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy." As part of the Helen Edison Lecture Series, Madrid covers a wide-range of topics, from the outcome of the 2024 election to the state of America's institutions to who he thinks will offer solutions to keep the idea of America alive for future generations. Madrid is joined by Zach Friend, policy and public affairs communication expert who worked in the Obama White House, to further explore current social and political trends.

As people return from the holidays, authorities release more information about the terror attack in New Orleans as well as the cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas.

And, President Biden presented Presidential Citizens Medals to 20 recipients, including the chairs of the January 6th Committee. Frank Figliuzzi, Peter Baker, Jasmine Wright, Amna Nawaz, Councilman JP Morrell, Aisha Mills, Mike Madrid, and Euguene Daniels join The 11th Hour with Symone Sanders-Townsend this Thursday night.

In 2020, Latinos became the second largest ethnic voting group in the country. They make up the largest plurality of residents in the most populous states in the union, as well as the fastest segment of the most important swing states in the US Electoral College. Fitting neither the stereotype of the aggrieved minority voter nor the traditional assimilating immigrant group, Latinos are challenging both political parties' notions of race, religious beliefs, economic success, and the American dream. Given their exploding numbers—and their growing ability to determine the fate of local, state, and national elections—you'd think the two major political parties would understand Latino voters. After all, their emergence on the national scene is not a new phenomenon. But they still don't. Republicans, not because of their best efforts but rather despite them, are just beginning to see a movement of Latinos toward the GOP. Democrats, for the moment, still win a commanding share of the Latino vote, but that share is dwindling fast. Now, in The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy (Simon and Schuster, 2024), veteran political consultant Mike Madrid uses thirty years of research and campaign experience at some of the highest levels on both sides of the aisle to address what might be the most critical questions of our time: Will the rise of Latino voters continue to foment the hyper-partisan and explosive tribalism of our age or will they usher in a new pluralism that advances the arc of social progress? How and why are both political parties so uniquely unprepared for the coming wave of Latino votes? And what must each party do to win those votes? By answering these questions, The Latino Century explores the true meaning of America at a time of rapid cultural change, the founding principles of self-government and individual responsibility, and one man's journey through a political party that has turned itself inside out.

Upwards of 45% of Latino males voted for Donald Trump for President, primarily based on economic issues like the cost of living, inflation and interest rates. Democrat cultural issues had little resonance for Latino voters.

As the two parties pore over the results of this election, one thing is clear: Democrats are losing their grip on working-class and non-white voters, creating huge openings for Republicans. What's behind such a dramatic shift? On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel talks with political analyst Mike Madrid about the growing political heft of Latino voters, how that diverse ethnic bloc is defying traditional voter stereotypes, and what both parties continue to get wrong in courting those votes.   Learn more about your ad choices.

We talked to GOP strategist Mike Madrid, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, expert on the Latino vote, and author of The Latino Century. He explains why this could be the “October Surprise” that has put Trump in danger of losing the state—and the election. As Madrid tells us: “Surprise, Donald Trump, you blew yourself up.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
