The Chris Cuomo Project

Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,” and MS NOW Contributor) joins Chris Cuomo for a conversation about how Democrats can win in an outrage-driven media environment. They dig into why affordability messaging works across the spectrum — from Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill to Zohran Mamdani — and why the left must balance real-world issues with the daily flood of Trump scandals, ICE abuses, and rising costs. Cuomo and Cohen unpack how the Epstein files, outrage algorithms, and click-first influencers distort priorities, why trust matters more than trending topics, and how Democrats can convert resentment into results on housing, groceries, and basic costs. They also explore the limits of lawfare, the danger of governing for social-media engagement, and what it will take for the majority to reward leaders who actually solve problems rather than amplify anger.

Chris Cuomo responds directly to a flood of viewer comments and questions — from accusations that he’s “changed,” to criticism of his Alan Dershowitz interview, to claims that he’s too hard or too soft on Trump. He addresses confusion around shutdown politics, breaks down the realities of the ACA debate, and pushes back on misinformation about what Trump did or didn’t do — including his shifting claim about “ending seven wars.” Cuomo also explains why outrage remains the dominant political currency online, and why so many people mistake anger for clarity. Cuomo digs into arguments about wealth, privilege, and independence; clarifies his views on Epstein, Venezuela, and selective outrage; and calls out how social media’s algorithmic incentives twist honest disagreement into hostility. He talks openly about intensity, decency, and why provocation has replaced persuasion — and closes with a reminder not to waste moments with family on fights that don’t matter.

Chris Cuomo connects a string of recent political stories — from Trump signing the Epstein files bill to Delegate Stacey Plaskett exchanging texts with Epstein during a 2019 hearing to Rep. Cory Mills’ stolen-valor scandal — to illustrate how each episode exposes the same habits of denial, excuse-making, and selective outrage that define today’s politics. Cuomo explains why these narratives are surfacing now, how both parties use them to score points, and why the truth keeps getting buried beneath performance. He also breaks down what recent political stories reveal about power: who gets protected, who gets punished, and who gets used as ammunition in a never-ending fight for advantage. Instead of treating these controversies as isolated events, Cuomo argues they come from the same broken incentives — where accountability is optional, bad actors thrive, and the public is left with a politics of spectacle instead of solutions.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) joins Chris Cuomo to break down why the fight over the Epstein files has become a test of public trust — and why he supported full disclosure even while warning people not to expect bombshell revelations. Cuomo presses Paul on how Washington keeps feeding suspicion through secrecy and mixed messages, what real accountability would look like, and why both parties are too comfortable letting the public assume the worst. They also dig into the surprise hemp ban buried in the shutdown bill, Paul’s clashes with Mitch McConnell over industry pressure, and how a $25 billion sector got kneecapped without a real debate. From Venezuela to war powers to the politics of fear inside Congress, Paul explains why he believes leaders in both parties are avoiding tough choices as the country drifts deeper into dysfunction.

Alan Dershowitz (lawyer, author, and Professor of Law, Emeritus, Harvard Law School) joins Chris Cuomo for a tough, unvarnished look at whether America’s courts can still be trusted to hold the line in a democracy under pressure. Cuomo pushes on the cases shaping Trump’s legal future, the role of partisan judges, and the growing belief that the judiciary is no longer an impartial guardrail but a political weapon. They dig into the power of prosecutors, the incentives driving political lawfare, and how social media outrage has made it even harder for the public to separate fact from spin. Cuomo also challenges whether the courts can stay legitimate when every ruling is now filtered through tribal loyalty, media distortion, and a political environment where accountability itself has become partisan.

Chris Cuomo explains why the shutdown outrage was never going to deliver real gains — not because the left was wrong, but because they were boxed in by laws and limits that made a clean, moral fight impossible. He walks through how progressives pushed for affordability, transparency, and protections on subsidies, but were forced into a deal shaped by rules written years ago under earlier administrations and reinforced during Trump’s presidency. Cuomo breaks down how the outrage economy and algorithm politics make good-faith leadership nearly impossible, and why many Democrats are now trying to shift from anger to achievable wins on healthcare, cost of living, and basic government function. He also shows how the MAGA–MEGA divide is reshaping expectations for 2026 — and why political incentives keep pulling both sides toward conflict even when voters want competence.

Chris Cuomo explains why Donald Trump’s greatest threat isn’t the radical left or his political opponents — it’s his own agenda. From tariffs and SNAP cuts to open corruption and tone-deaf optics like his privately funded “Arc de Trump,” Cuomo argues Trump’s way of “keeping promises” is destroying the very movement that built him. Cuomo shows how Trump’s policies are punishing the same working-class voters who powered his rise, turning MAGA into a movement divided against itself. He also looks at how Democrats could seize the moment by offering real fixes — not just outrage — and how the coming battles over affordability, healthcare, and corruption could reshape both parties before the 2026 midterms.

Chris Cuomo breaks down what 2025's off-year elections reveal about America’s political realignment — and why he calls it the real war for the country’s future. Voters across the country sent a clear message: they’re tired of chaos, exhausted by extremes, and demanding something that actually works. In New York City, former Governor Andrew Cuomo lost the mayor’s race to Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, a progressive voice from the same populist current that produced AOC and Bernie Sanders. Chris says that upset is part of a broader reckoning inside both parties — between MAGA, the politics of anger and grievance, and MEGA, the growing number of Americans weary of outrage and craving stability. And as both sides look ahead to the 2026 midterms, these results may be a preview of which message will win: rage, or results.

Chris Cuomo warns that America’s outrage cycle isn’t slowing down — it’s speeding up. From politics to social media, anger has become the new currency, and both sides are cashing in. As division deepens and distrust spreads, Cuomo explains why the system now rewards conflict over cooperation, and why that means things are going to get worse before they get better. He breaks down what it would take to rebuild decency and stop mistaking constant combat for civic engagement. Because if outrage keeps paying, everyone loses. Then, Cuomo checks the Kalshi prediction markets for who’s leading the 2028 Democratic field and whether Trump could run for a third term.

Brian and Ed Krassenstein (writers, entrepreneurs, and political commentators) join Chris Cuomo to talk about how social media fuels outrage and misinformation — and what can still be done to fix it. The brothers, known for their outspoken political commentary and massive online following, discuss what they’ve learned about truth, bias, and the business of being loud in America’s attention economy.Cuomo challenges whether online activism has become more about engagement than honesty, and the Krassensteins share how they navigate criticism, disinformation, and their own evolution in public life. Together they explore what real accountability looks like in a digital world designed to divide. Support our sponsors: http://kalshi.com/?utm_source=chriscuomoCalm your mind, change your life.

Chris Cuomo breaks down how the looming government shutdown and economic frustration are shaping the midterm elections — from tariffs and health care costs to the political messaging war over who’s to blame. He looks at what’s really driving voters’ anger and why both parties are struggling to connect with the middle. Cuomo also examines how Kalshi’s political betting markets are tracking the race in real time, showing where the smart money thinks control of Congress could land. With inflation stubborn, wages lagging, and families squeezed, Cuomo argues that the real election issue isn’t ideology — it’s survival.

Robert Weissman (Co-President, Public Citizen) joins Chris Cuomo following the No Kings protests of October 18, 2025 — a nationwide movement that drew an estimated five to seven million people across more than 2,700 U.S. cities in what organizers call the largest single-day protest in American history. As one of the event’s lead organizers, Weissman explains how Public Citizen, the progressive consumer-advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, helped mobilize Americans around the message that no president — not even Donald Trump — stands above the law. Cuomo and Weissman discuss what the protests reveal about public frustration with corruption, corporate influence, and creeping authoritarianism — and whether people power can still shape policy in a second Trump term. Weissman argues that mass protest is only the beginning of a longer fight for accountability. Plus, Chris looks at the Maine Senate race between Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Graham Platner — and how Kalshi’s betting markets reflect growing doubt about Platner’s future in the race and Collins’s fading prospects as Democrats hold an edge for Senate control.

Gen Z activist Manu Meel, co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led nonprofit that trains young people to hold civil, moderated discussions across political divides, joins Chris Cuomo to explain how his generation is fighting political polarization by turning outrage into conversation. Meel says young Americans—raised on algorithms and anger—are ready for something new, building more than 100 college chapters devoted to structured dialogue and civic engagement. Cuomo challenges whether bridge-building can survive in a social-media world that rewards rage, while Meel argues that exhaustion with constant conflict is creating an opening for empathy and debate to go viral.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts tied to classified documents — a case that underscores how far the Trump administration’s Justice Department is willing to go to target former insiders. Chris Cuomo breaks down what’s behind the indictment, why the evidence may not hold up, and what it reveals about how “lawfare” has become the weapon of choice in American politics. From selective prosecutions to the politics of revenge, Chris explains how the Bolton case blurs the line between accountability and retribution — and why that distinction matters for every future administration. He also looks at how the Kalshi betting markets are reacting to the indictment, what those odds suggest about who might be next, and why American justice is increasingly being treated like a political wager.

Chris Cuomo responds to a new round of listener calls and viewer comments, including reactions to Donald Trump’s “I hate my opponents” remark, criticism of his take on Jimmy Kimmel’s removal from air, and debate over the killing of Charlie Kirk. Callers question whether Citizens United has corrupted politics, argue that both parties have failed, and challenge Chris on his views about outrage and decency in the media. Cuomo reflects on his firing from CNN, the influence of social media algorithms, and why so much political commentary now thrives on anger instead of honesty. He also addresses confusion surrounding the Epstein files, responds to listeners who say he’s changed politically, and closes with a Morse-coded message from a viewer calling for peace.
