America’s Long Shadow Over Cuba with Ada Ferrer

America’s Long Shadow Over Cuba with Ada Ferrer

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.

Kara Swisher is one of the most respected journalists covering technology and Silicon Valley. For more than three decades, she's interviewed the players shaping the modern tech world, from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg, while reporting on the rise of the internet and artificial intelligence and the politics surrounding both. Jorge and Paola sit down with Kara to learn about her concern about the trillions of dollars of investment pouring into AI and whether this could lead to a major economic crash. 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’s Most Critical Term & What It Says About America

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. He also explains why the Supreme Court may be home to the nation's most qualified public officials and examines how this term marks the Court’s distinct march to the right.  New episodes of The Moment drop every Wednesday.

The U.S. at 250: The State of The American Dream

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 Broke With Trump. Does He Know Something We Don’t?

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. Now, in the wake of the genocide in Gaza and the war in Iran, Carlson has distanced himself from the MAGA movement he once helped shape and mobilize. 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.
