What Comedians Understand That the Media Doesn't
Why do comedians so often see the culture more clearly than the people paid to cover it? Chris Cuomo sits down with three of the sharpest comedic minds working today for conversations that go well past the jokes — about what's really happening in media, money, and what you're still allowed to say. Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, "The Tim Dillon Show") argues that cancel culture burned out because ideological purity is exhausting — and that the real credibility crisis belongs to the "expert" class, who failed on everything from Iraq to the pandemic and lost the public's trust. He and…

The 7 Deadly Sins Of Donald Trump
Chris Cuomo breaks down what he calls Donald Trump’s “seven deadly sins,” using pride, wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth as a framework for examining the president’s conduct and the direction of his administration. Cuomo connects the seven sins to Trump’s approach to ICE and the Constitution, political opponents, personal enrichment, the war in Iran, and the use of presidential power. He also explains why he believes the signs point to a more serious problem surrounding future elections and whether the country’s constitutional guardrails will hold. Join The Chris Cuomo Project on…

Josh Rogin (Lead Global Security Analyst, WP Intelligence, and and Columnist, The Washington Post) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, the consequences of America’s changing role in the world, and why Rogin believes the U.S. keeps getting distracted from the long-term challenge posed by China. Rogin explains why he sees few good options remaining in Iran, how declining American influence could create opportunities for adversaries, and why Taiwan’s dominance of advanced semiconductor manufacturing makes the U.S.-China relationship increasingly consequential.

How You Actually Beat Trump
Heading into the midterms, what actually beats Trumpism — and is the two-party establishment even capable of it? Chris Cuomo brings together three of the sharpest and most different voices in American politics to argue over what's really broken and what actually wins. Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District) details the falling-out that ended her alliance with Donald Trump — the White House phone call in which she says he warned her "friends are going to get hurt" if the Epstein files came out, the death threats against her family, and the…

The $20 Burrito Problem Trump Can’t Ignore
Andrew Kolvet (spokesperson, Turning Point USA, and executive producer, “The Charlie Kirk Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging debate over the future of Trump’s MAGA movement, the economy, immigration, Islam, ICE, and the rise of the DSA on the left.

Chris presses him on whether Donald Trump deserves the same criticism conservatives leveled…

Pavlovitz argues that Christian nationalism has become a “Jesusless Christianity” built around power rather than the teachings of Jesus, and explains why he sees Trumpism as a cultic movement that has replaced traditional sources of moral authority with…

Why I Refuse To Pick A Side

6 Reasons MAGA’s Islamophobia Will Backfire
Chris Cuomo breaks down six reasons MAGA’s increasingly anti-Muslim rhetoric is both politically self-defeating and fundamentally at odds with American values, arguing that legitimate concerns about Islamist extremism are being used to cast suspicion on an entire religion. Chris examines Nancy Mace’s recent comments about Muslim elected officials, the critical difference between Islam and Islamism, and why collective blame has repeatedly produced some of the ugliest chapters in American history. He also explains why targeting Muslim Americans could ultimately make the country less safe while…

Chris Cuomo argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doing exactly what Democrats have to do to beat MAGA in the midterms — and lays out the six changes she's signaling that every Democrat needs to make if they want to win. Chris walks through AOC's viral ABC News clip and explains why her shift toward reasonable messaging on public safety, crime, and coalition-building is exactly the pivot her party needs.

The Five Sins Of Todd Blanche

Chris lays out the five sins of Todd Blanche and why they should have disqualified him from ever becoming Attorney General. Chris argues that Blanche isn't just the most conflicted AG pick in modern American history — he's a metaphor for the entire…

You Can't Debate Someone Like RFK Jr.
Chris Cuomo explains why the viral exchange between CNN’s Dana Bash and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reveals a much bigger problem than the debate over vaccines. Using the interview as a case study, Chris breaks down why political conversations have become less about changing minds and more about reinforcing identities, why fact-checking alone often fails, and why so many of America’s biggest debates now feel impossible to resolve. Chris also examines RFK Jr.‘s claims about vaccines, Anthony Fauci’s role during the pandemic, Donald Trump’s handling of COVID,…

Fauci Pleading The Fifth Doesn't Actually Matter
Chris Cuomo explains why Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth has become the latest political obsession—and why he doesn’t think it changes much of anything.

Everything You Hate About The Economy Was A Choice
For decades, Americans have been told today’s economy is simply the result of capitalism, globalization, or forces beyond anyone’s control. Chris Cuomo argues that’s not true. From housing affordability and healthcare to Wall Street, pensions, student loans, immigration, and AI, Chris breaks down the political choices that reshaped the American economy, and why he believes those decisions, not ideology, are the real reason so many people feel like the system is working against them. Chris also explains why he believes Democrats are making a critical messaging mistake ahead of the midterms,…

They also discuss whether AI should be treated as a public…

Corruption Just Became Trump’s Biggest Problem
Chris Cuomo breaks down why JD Vance is already blowing his chance at the presidency, why Trump's corruption just became his biggest political weakness, and why Democrats should be beating Trump by way more than they are heading into the 2026 midterms. Cuomo opens with a direct warning to Vance: step up or step off. The Vice President is either glossing over what everyone can see or outright pretending the Trump administration's failures aren't happening — and it's killing him with his own base. Cuomo argues Vance won't make it through the primaries if he doesn't figure out how to be honest…
