The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

It’s been more than ten years since former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, protesting racial injustices and abuse to minorities in the U.S. Now, after a decade exiled from the sport he loves, and having established himself as an activist, Kaepernick is telling his side of the story in a new memoir. In “The Perilous Fight”, Kaepernick reflects on patriotism within the NFL, and how fellow players, team owners and fans responded to his protest, his upbringing in Turlock, California, and why protest is more essential than ever. In this episode of The Moment, Kaepernick joins Jorge and Paola to discuss his new book, explain how he arrived at his understanding of race in America, and why he hopes to return to the league that banished him.

This year’s midterm elections were historic, with results that are nothing less than a political earthquake. Across the country, in race after race, many voters repudiated President Trump and MAGA Republicans, giving Democrats control of the House and Senate. To break down how these midterm results could decide the country’s political landscape, Jorge and Paola sit down with The Moment’s executive producer, Daniel Alarcón, to discuss milestones across party lines, the influence of Latino voters, and how the rest of President Trump’s second term could play out.

Michigan has become a political battleground, drawing visits from President Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Bernie Sanders over the same weekend as both parties fight for control of the U.S. Senate. Much of the attention is on Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a 41-year-old former epidemiologist who, if elected, would become the first Muslim to serve in this position. Recorded live in Holland, Michigan, Jorge and Paola sit down with El-Sayed to discuss the importance of the Latino vote in a state where Latinos make up 6% of the population, his plans to abolish ICE and strengthen border security, his views on intervention in Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, and why he doesn’t want to shy away from politically unpopular positions, such as Medicare for All.

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.
