The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos

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.

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.
