Chuck Rocha, a political consultant and founder of Solidarity Strategies, joins to share insights on Democratic strategies for the midterms. He discusses the pitfalls of an outrage-driven approach and why simply mirroring Trump's tactics won’t lead to wins.

Chris Cuomo lays out five interconnected predictions for 2026 — not as isolated forecasts, but as a chain reaction driven by exhaustion, escalation, and a public fed up with how power is exercised. He warns that the rising stakes of political rhetoric and performative outrage make some kind of major internal attack increasingly likely, and explains why the aftermath — misinformation, blame, and manipulation — will force a reckoning with social media algorithms that profit from division. Cuomo argues that MAGA is unsustainable in its current form and will begin collapsing under the weight of constant hostility, setting the stage for a pivotal midterm election. Whether Democrats capitalize or squander that moment, he says, will determine whether the results are historic or razor-thin. He closes with his biggest prediction: the next president won’t be a familiar figure, but someone outside the system, emerging from a public desperate for disruption, perspective, and a way out of the exhaustion cycle driving American politics.

Anthony Scaramucci (Founder and Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital, former White House Communications Director, and author, “Solana Rising: Investing in the Fast Lane of Crypto”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down how Trump’s influence reshaped American politics — from loyalty culture and broken institutions to the money pipelines that fuel the outrage economy.

Avi Loeb (Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science, Harvard University) joins Chris Cuomo to break down why the interstellar object 3I Atlas challenges what we think we know about space, evidence, and scientific certainty. Loeb explains what makes this visitor unusual, why early observations don’t fit the standard “it’s just a comet” answer, and why the scientific community keeps shutting down possibilities before the data is even in. Cuomo and Loeb dig into the limits of government transparency on UAPs, the role of Loeb’s Galileo Project in gathering independent evidence, and why scientific gatekeeping and political fear stop the public from seeing the full picture. They also explore why discovery demands humility, what the next phase of observation could reveal, and how accepting uncertainty is the only way to understand what might actually be moving through our skies.
