The Chris Cuomo Project

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. Scaramucci explains why Trumpism still distorts incentives in Washington, why corruption persists across both parties, and how political dysfunction became a profitable business model. Cuomo and Scaramucci also dig into the economics behind the moment — from crypto’s growing role in global finance to how digital markets, speculation, and new technologies intersect with political instability. They explore what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether voters still reward serious leadership, and why America’s systems keep drifting further from what working people actually need.

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.

Rage bait has been named the Oxford Word of the Year, reflecting a troubling trend in American media and politics. Algorithms and influencers on both sides are shaping narratives through manufactured outrage rather than authentic sentiment. Chris Cuomo discusses how this online anger impacts everything from immigration to vaccine misinformation, and critiques the rising political violence fueled by sensational rhetoric. He emphasizes the need for voters to reject outrage-driven narratives and think critically to reclaim their agency.

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 dives into the complexities of the recent shutdown, revealing how entrenched laws limited meaningful outcomes for progressives. He discusses the tension between the outrage economy and effective governance, emphasizing the shift from anger to achievable wins in healthcare and affordability. The contrasting dynamics of the MAGA and MEGA movements are uncovered, highlighting their impact on political expectations for 2026. Cuomo argues that Democrats face a dual threat, predicting internal conflicts as they navigate these challenges.

Donald Trump's greatest threat comes from his own policies rather than his opponents. Chris Cuomo dissects how tariffs and SNAP cuts harm the very working-class voters who supported him. He highlights the contradictions within the MAGA movement and critiques Trump's focus on cultural distractions over economic promises. Cuomo also explores the political implications of healthcare subsidies, urging Democrats to present actionable solutions instead of just outrage. The discussion reveals how internal conflicts and visible corruption could reshape both parties.
