For decades, César Chávez was revered as a civil rights icon and a champion of farmworker rights. But a recent New York Times investigation has brought forward allegations of sexual assault from three women. As we try to make sense of this reckoning, Jorge and Paola speak with historian Miriam Pawel, author of “The Crusades of César Chávez”, about his rise and the cult of personality that developed around his leadership. They are also joined by civil rights attorney and activist Mónica Ramírez, founder of Justice for Migrant Women, to examine the structural pressures that discourage survivors from speaking out, and how to create safer spaces for them.

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.
