Alix Earle Addresses Alex Cooper, Polymarket's Lindsay Clancy Ad Backlash & Reddington's GMA Trump Pardon Ask + Gina Hinojosa on Texas
The Moment LIVE! Politics & Culture, ExplainedShow Notes
Alix Earle finally addressed the Alex Cooper situation on her Netflix show, House of Earle, and Meredith and Rebecca think she's winning this feud. Then, podcaster Amanda Hirsch of Not Skinny But Not Fat posted a Polymarket ad using the Lindsay Clancy case as a hook. It got taken down fast and she sent an apology, but we get into why it was more calculated than a simple mistake. Plus, Kevin Reddington went on GMA and asked President Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy. Meredith breaks down why Reddington knows it won’t work, but said it anyway.
Then, Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa joins. She's in a virtual tie with Greg Abbott despite being outspent ten to one. She breaks down what Texans actually care about in 2026, why "women are dying" under Texas's abortion ban and Greg Abbott just delayed the maternal mortality numbers until after the election, what ICE raids are doing to mixed-status Latino families, and why Republicans' only shtick is culture wars that nobody has time for anymore.
Plus: the poll worker thirst trap debate, Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary, and what's having a moment.
