MIAMI — AUGUST 28, 2026 — TelevisaUnivision's U.S. news division, N+ Univision, presents Esta Semana con Ilia Calderón, a weekly Spanish-language Sunday program on the Univision network. The only Spanish-language Sunday morning public affairs program in the United States, Esta Semana con Ilia Calderón ranks No. 1 among U.S. Hispanic demographics, out-delivering the combined audience of all competition. The show addresses the most pressing issues of the week, combining the analytical rigor of the top U.S. Sunday political programs to examine political decisions made at the center of power in Washington, D.C. and bring a U.S. Hispanic perspective to the most consequential political conversations of the day.
This Sunday, August 30, Calderón brings together the newsmakers at the center of this week's biggest stories to deliver the insight and perspective the U.S. Hispanic community demands:
Rep. Jason Crow — Democrat, Colorado District 6
An Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rep. Crow brings firsthand military experience to his work on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Armed Services Committee, where he is the ranking Democrat on the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations. He discusses the situation facing U.S. troops in the Middle East, the threats posed by Iran and Hezbollah and the Pentagon's new policies requiring physical fitness evaluations and testosterone testing for service members.
René Delgado — Political Journalist and Analyst
The moderator of Tercer Grado, N+'s flagship political analysis program and the most influential roundtables in Mexican media, René Delgado offers his perspective on Mexico's most consequential political moment in years. He addresses the case of Rubén Rocha Moya, the governor of Sinaloa who faces U.S. charges for alleged ties to organized crime, as well as the diplomatic repercussions of the revocation of the U.S. visa of Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He also analyzes the repercussions of both cases on Mexico’s political class.
Arturo Béjar — Former Meta Executive and Whistleblower
A former Meta safety engineer who worked at Facebook from 2009 to 2015, focused on cyberbullying, and returned from 2019 to 2021 to work on Instagram's wellbeing team, Béjar has become one of the most consequential whistleblowers in the history of social media. This week he took the stand as the first and lead witness in the landmark federal child safety trial against Meta, testifying that the company operated under a "don't ask, don't tell" philosophy toward child safety and that internal studies documenting children encountering harmful material were repeatedly brought to executives' attention without meaningful action. Béjar discusses his testimony, what he witnessed inside Meta and what the trial's outcome could mean for the future of children's safety on social media platforms.
Calderón asks the difficult questions the U.S. Hispanic community deserves answers from these guests and more on Esta Semana con Ilia Calderón.
