The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon is running for U.S. Senate with a grassroots campaign that has surprised many, even within the Democratic party. If elected, she would become Florida’s first Black senator. With two weeks to go before the midterm elections, Nixon joins Jorge and Paola to break down how she is connecting with voters across the political spectrum at a time when Florida has a record number of registered Republican voters. She shares her views on the U.S. embargo on Cuba and the need for democratic elections in Venezuela. Nixon also talks about the anti-immigrant rhetoric she sees fueling division in Latino and Haitian communities, her plan to abolish ICE, and her three-part plan for bringing down costs for Floridians.

Ben Affleck has spent decades working in Hollywood as an actor, writer, and director. This year, he sold his AI filmmaking company, InterPositive, to Netflix in a deal reportedly worth nearly $600 million, and his latest directorial feature, Animals, was released just last week. Now, Affleck joins The Moment to discuss his new film, a thriller about an independent candidate running for mayor of Los Angeles who needs the Latino vote to get ahead in the polls—all while his son is kidnapped. Affleck reflects on working with his Latino cast to get the Spanish and Mexican accents right, what the film reveals about political disillusionment as the midterms approach and the need for more empathy in a divided country. He also discusses how AI is changing filmmaking and how he used it in Animals, and why he admires Jennifer Lopez in an industry where Latinas remain underrepresented.

The Democratic Socialists of America are gaining members, winning Democratic primaries, and pushing for policies that once seemed far outside the political mainstream. So why are voters turning to them now? Jorge and Paola sit down with DSA national co-chairs Megan Romer and Ashik Siddique to talk about what’s behind the political rise of democratic socialists at a time when many Americans are frustrated with the cost of living and ongoing wars, why the word “socialism” may carry a very different meaning for younger voters, and their stance on Cuba’s regime. They also discuss the pushback that the DSA has encountered, not only from Republicans but also from within the Democratic coalition itself.

Paola Ramos sits down with Rolling Stone’s Deputy Music Editor, Julyssa Lopez, to unpack how Latin music is capturing these cultural and political times. Julyssa lays out the argument that Latin music and Spanish-language songs topping the charts have become a lasting force that has consistently shaped American culture. The two journalists discuss Shakira’s four consecutive World Cup performances and how reggaeton continues to reinvent itself through emerging subgenres like reggaeton darks and cumbia goth. Julyssa also shares her experience spending time with Bad Bunny during his Coachella concert and on the set of his "WHERE SHE GOES" music video.

John Leguizamo is starring in The Odyssey, one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters, so we’re revisiting Jorge and Paola’s conversation with the Colombian-American actor to reflect on building a career in an industry that has long offered few leading roles for Latinos. Together, they look back on the experiences that shaped Leguizamo’s view of Hollywood’s lack of diverse representation, from his early days in theater to working on Carlito's Way. Jorge and Paola also discuss his perception of Latinidad and community organizing, along with John’s outspoken criticism of the Trump administration and why he identifies as a democratic socialist.

For Ada Ferrer, making sense of the ties between the United States and Cuba has always been crucial. Brought to New Jersey as a baby, she became an immigrant before she could even talk, joining what is now a diaspora of over 2.9 million people. Ferrer went on to become one of the country's leading historians of the Caribbean island and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. As the Trump administration continues to threaten the island with military intervention and shortages of fuel, electricity, and food intensify, Ferrer joins Jorge and Paola to unpack the latest chapter in the decades-long relationship between the two countries and what the worst-case scenario could be for Cubans. They also discuss her new book, Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter, tracing her own family history from slavery to the pursuit of the American Dream.

They also talk about why Kara finds this pay-to-play relationship between President Trump and tech billionaires so alarming, and the possibility of her leaving CNN if the Ellison family’s acquisition leads to the same changes that reshaped CBS.

The Supreme Court just wrapped up one of its most consequential terms in decades, delivering a mix of major wins and setbacks for President Trump. To unpack these rulings, Jorge and Paola sit down with Adam Liptak, Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent at The New York Times, who’s been covering the highest court for nearly two decades. Together, they break down the landmark ruling on birthright citizenship and why Liptak argues it can’t be reversed by Congress.

This July 4th, the country finds itself at an inflection point: from Supreme Court rulings with potentially dramatic implications on our elections, our immigration system and the rule of law, to the upcoming midterms, where control of Congress and the Senate hangs in the balance. This year, everything, it seems, is up for grabs. To discuss this anniversary, Jorge and Paola are joined by The Moment’s Executive Producer Daniel Alarcón to share their perspectives on how these events are shaping our democracy, the state of the American Dream, and what the World Cup has revealed about who we are. They are also joined from Caracas by Radio Ambulante producer Mariana Zúñiga, who’s reporting on the aftermath of the two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela and what the humanitarian response says about U.S. foreign policy.

Tucker Carlson is one of the most influential conservative voices in the country, a political commentator with over 30 million followers, who, until recently, spoke regularly with President Trump and his closest advisors.

In this wide-ranging conversation Carlson sits down with Jorge and Paola to unpack his reasoning for breaking with the president over Iran, respond to reporting that Vice President JD Vance tried recruiting him to exonerate Trump from the Epstein Files, and explain why he still believes immigration is bad for the United States.

Over the past decade, Latino evangelicals have grown exponentially in both numbers and political influence. Their support helped Donald Trump win the 2024 election and tilt the Latino electorate towards the Republican Party. Now, as primary elections are held across the country, Jorge and Paola sit down with two religious leaders to understand the different visions shaping today’s Latino evangelical mindset: Pastor Samuel Rodríguez, a Trump adviser and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which oversees more than 40,000 churches, and Reverend Carlos Malavé, president of the Latino Christian National Network and an outspoken critic of the current administration. They discuss Christian nationalism, immigration, safety in churches, and what advice they would give to agnostic Latinos. New episodes of The Moment drop every Wednesday.

Donald Trump’s gains with Latino voters in 2024 challenged long-held assumptions about how Latinos vote and why. Now, as the midterm elections approach and Republicans fight to hold power, Jorge and Paola sit down with former U.S. Representative Mayra Flores, the first Mexican-born woman sworn into Congress, to understand the appeal of conservative politics within the Latino community and how that shift could influence these upcoming elections. They also discuss immigration, the economic anxiety many are feeling right now, and why conversations like this one, despite political differences, are still worth having.

Today, more than half of adults get some of their news from social media. In that shifting media landscape, 27-year-old activist and political influencer Carlos Eduardo Espina has built an audience of more than 20 million across platforms by translating current news and immigration issues into accessible information for Spanish-speaking communities. In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with Carlos to talk about how he became one of the most-followed – and trusted – Latino voices in the country and the responsibility and the pressure that comes with speaking to millions of people online. They also discuss why Democratic politicians, including presidential hopefuls, have sought his advice and what he believes is driving the rise of the manosphere among Latino men.

After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act last week, it’s fair to say this November’s midterm elections will be unlike any in recent memory. For Jamelle Bouie, a New York Times columnist and YouTube commentator, the decision proves one of many things: the court is unhappy with the ability of racial minorities to exercise power through political representation. In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with Bouie to unpack that idea, along with his broader claim that the Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt. He also traces the origins of the Voting Rights Act from the Civil Rights Movement, argues why it still matters today, and explains how these changes could affect Black and Latino voters in this November and beyond.

Since the war in Iran began at the end of February, President Trump has been promising that the conflict would be a quick one. Six weeks later, despite heavy military losses, the Iranian regime remains intact, and to many observers, stronger than ever, both internally, and on the world stage. But how are Iranians experiencing this tumultuous and violent conflict? To make sense of this conflict, Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos talk to Catalina Gómez Ángel, one of a handful of western journalists reporting from inside Iran, where she has lived for nearly 20 years. And to explain the larger impacts of the war on the region, we speak with New York Times reporter and author Yeganeh Torbati, who covers Iran from Istanbul.
