Did the Oscars Play It Safe? The Manosphere is Raising Your Sons, Tucker 2028, Iran & TSA Chaos ft. V Spehar

Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès are joined by V Spehar of Under the Desk News for a full Iran war update — NATO refused to escort oil ships, Trump asked China for help (China and Iran are allies), TSA agents are quitting mid-shutdown, and an Afghan asylum seeker who aided US Special Forces died in ICE custody less than 24 hours after being detained. Keep your eyes on ICE while the Iran war dominates the headlines.

Plus: Meredith and Rebecca break down Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere — the teen boys idolizing these creators, the income inequality at the root of it, and what it says about men in 2026. Then the Oscars: Jessie Buckley's historic win, the best documentary speech nobody covered, celebrity political silence, and Conan's jokes rated by a comedian.

And: is Tucker Carlson quietly positioning himself for 2028? Rebecca thinks yes — and makes a compelling case.

The Moment LIVE is hosted by Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
