The Chris Cuomo Project

A Trump White House video blames Democrats for the government shutdown — accusing them of pushing $1.5 trillion in spending, “open borders,” and even “health care for illegal aliens.” Chris Cuomo shows how these exaggerated claims are designed to stoke anger, divide voters, and make outrage the easiest path to political wins. Cuomo examines why both parties exploit grievance, how shutdown threats are more about blame than solutions, and the growing role of social media in fueling America’s hate machine. He challenges the idea that division is inevitable — and asks what it would take for Americans to stop rewarding politics of outrage.

Their conversation explores social media’s role in shaping political culture, the dangers of radicalization, and the opportunities for Democrats to present real solutions on affordability, immigration, and leadership.

Chris Cuomo argues that Democrats are missing their biggest opportunity: to stop “resisting” MAGA and start proving they can deliver better solutions. From social media’s toxic influence to real issues like jobs, prices, immigration, and gerrymandering, he urges Democrats to “change the game” instead of becoming what they oppose. Chris explains why grievance politics is a dead end, why Charlie Kirk’s murder should not be politicized, and how Democrats can reclaim momentum by offering stronger ideas on affordability, workforce development, education, and more. He warns that social media companies and partisan rage are driving America to the bottom — but insists the majority of voters are desperate for something better.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension has reignited questions about free speech, corporate power, and what the First Amendment actually covers. Chris Cuomo explains why this isn’t a constitutional case, why Disney had the legal right to act, and how judgment about whether the decision was right is separate from what the law requires. He also compares the public response to Kimmel with how his own suspension was handled, highlighting inconsistencies in accountability. But Cuomo argues the bigger issue isn’t Kimmel at all. While traditional media companies face clear legal standards and business risks, social media platforms operate with almost no guardrails. From Section 230 protections to algorithm-driven outrage, he breaks down why platforms like X and Facebook hold the real power over speech today — and why that imbalance threatens public discourse.

Dr. Drew Pinsky (Chief Patient Officer, The Wellness Company, and Podcast Host, "Ask Dr. Drew") joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about what went wrong during the pandemic and how science was hijacked by politics. Drew explains why mandates lacked bioethical standing, why “irrational certitude” is so dangerous, and why “rational uncertainty” must be at the heart of science. They also discuss long Covid and vaccine injuries, the collapse of trust in institutions, and how arrogance replaced humility in public health. Dr. Drew warns about the dangers of narcissism, scapegoating, and mob thinking, and shares why the pessimism of young people scares him the most. At the same time, he talks about what gives him hope — resilience, families, and the possibility of finding meaning in difficult times.

On August 22, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. The suspect, DeCarlos Brown Jr., had a long history of arrests and court appearances, repeatedly entering and exiting the justice system before this attack. Chris Cuomo looks at what went wrong, from failures in mental health support to the pressures on judges and law enforcement. He explores how crime is covered, the systemic issues behind tragedies like this, and why understanding the full context matters more than partisan spin.

Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was murdered on a Utah college campus on September 10, 2025. Chris Cuomo reflects on the shock of this killing, its timing just one day before September 11, and the deeply divided reaction across the country. Some Americans grieve, others cheer, and still more look for revenge — a sign, Chris argues, of how far we’ve drifted from shared values.In this episode, Chris examines what Charlie’s death reveals about our culture, the destructive power of social media, and why division and hate now dominate our political discourse. He urges viewers to confront the toxic systems fueling violence and rage, and challenges everyone to decide what they’ll do with this moment — before it escalates further.

Max from UNFTR (publisher, UNFTR Media, and host, Unf*cking the Republic podcast and YouTube channel) joins Chris Cuomo to explain what he calls the greatest financial heist in modern history. Donald Trump and his family are quietly building a “shadow central bank” through a new stablecoin — a specialized type of cryptocurrency backed by U.S. Treasury assets. If two key bills moving through Congress become law, Trump’s company could take over powers traditionally held by the Federal Reserve, giving him the ability to profit when the economy falters. Chris and Max break down how this plan works, how Congress’ actions could permanently change the U.S. financial system, and why Trump’s scheme represents one of the most serious threats to economic stability and democracy."

"President Donald Trump has sparked a political firestorm with a new Truth Social post demanding that Big Pharma release data on the COVID-19 vaccines developed under Operation Warp Speed, his signature pandemic initiative. Trump says he has seen “extraordinary” information about the vaccines and wants it made public — a move that could validate his program while putting him at odds with much of his own base, which has spent years pushing anti-vaccine narratives that fueled the MAGA misinformation machine. This surprise turn creates a rare opportunity for Democrats to challenge those narratives and highlight the truth about what the vaccines did and didn’t do, even if it indirectly boosts Trump’s legacy. Chris Cuomo explains how this reckoning over pandemic data could reshape political alliances, deepen divides within Trump’s movement, and expose bad-faith actors who profited from spreading lies. He also breaks down how both parties mishandled pandemic messaging and policies — from school shutdowns to mask guidance — and why understanding those failures is critical to preventing the same mistakes in the future."

America isn’t a direct democracy — and Chris Cuomo wants to explain why that distinction matters. In this episode, he breaks down the difference between a constitutional republic and majority rule, showing how the structure of the Senate and Electoral College give disproportionate power to smaller states. He highlights how one-third of the U.S. population controls half the Senate and explores how this imbalance shapes our politics. Chris examines how America’s system was originally designed to protect minorities but now enables fringe interests to dominate national debate. From social media algorithms to gerrymandering, he argues the few often overpower the concerns of the many. Along the way, he critiques hot-take culture, recalls the fight over Obamacare, and questions how both left- and right-wing populist movements exploit discontent.
