The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

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.

Dr. Jill Biden's years as First Lady coincided with one of the most turbulent eras in American history. The country was still recovering from a global pandemic, grappling with the aftermath of January 6, and facing a moment of intense political division. Now, in her new memoir, View From the East Wing, Dr. Biden reflects on what she saw inside the White House, what gives her hope, and why she has chosen to tell her story now. Recorded live in Washington, D.C., Paola Ramos sits down with the former First Lady and educator to discuss that 2024 debate that upended a presidential campaign, her devotion to teaching, and how she has held her family together through deep loss, grief, and life in the public eye.

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.

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.

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.  New episodes of The Moment drop every Wednesday.

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.  New episodes drop every Wednesday.
