The Chris Cuomo Project

Chris Cuomo tears into Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it a "f*** you" to working Americans who are angry about a system rigged for the powerful. He argues the bill exposes everything wrong with American politics: it adds trillions to the debt while cutting Medicaid and SNAP, gives 80% of tax cuts to the wealthy, and hurts the very MAGA voters who supported Trump—especially through cuts to rural hospitals that disproportionately serve his base. Cuomo condemns Republicans like Lisa Murkowski who called the bill fiscally irresponsible but voted for it anyway, proving party loyalty trumps principle. He argues this regressive bill—which treats tax cuts as "cost-free" through accounting gimmicks—is exactly why populist movements on both left and right are exploding. The bill rewards the top while punishing those struggling most, fueling the extremism and violence we're seeing across the political spectrum. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses why the bill's debt implications could force interest rate changes and what it means for household finances.

Adam Friedland (comedian and podcast host, "The Adam Friedland Show") joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about comedy, politics, and the state of America. Friedland discusses his evolution from doing a deliberately ironic podcast to investing himself fully in serious interviews, studying Howard Stern's technique to improve his craft. He offers his perspective on campus protests, arguing that economic alienation and loneliness drive extremism more than ideology. The conversation touches on everything from the 1990s as America's last truly happy decade to why working-class abandonment created today's political outrage. Friedland challenges conventional narratives about antisemitism on campuses while defending First Amendment principles, and shares his views on foreign policy, wealth inequality, and why he refuses to get a 401k. Throughout, he displays the thoughtful irreverence that has made him one of comedy's most interesting new voices. Support our sponsors: Reverse hair loss with @iRestorelaser!

Chris Cuomo argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is killing the Democratic Party by pushing to impeach Trump over his Iran bombing that actually led to a ceasefire. He contends that Democrats are making the same mistake as MAGA by embracing extremism, with AOC consistently taking the losing side of every "80-20" issue: from defunding police to being too comfortable with pro-Hamas sentiment, and now trying to impeach a president for protecting Americans from extreme Islamism. Cuomo warns that the real threat facing America isn't just from foreign terrorists but from homegrown extremists of all ideologies—from the healthcare CEO killer to embassy attackers—who've been radicalized to believe violence advances their political agenda. He argues Democrats need to reject AOC's performative politics and focus on the economic issues that matter to working people, like Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," not chase impossible impeachments that make them look weak on national security.Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how the GOP budget bill's debt implications could affect American households and investment strategies.

Rosie O'Donnell (actor & comedian) joins Chris Cuomo from her new home in Ireland to explain why she left America after Trump's second election victory. O'Donnell shares how Trump's first presidency led her into depression and unhealthy habits, prompting her move abroad for "self-preservation" and to create a better environment for herself and her autistic child. She discusses the cultural differences between Ireland and America, including how the Irish reject celebrity worship and embrace their history of fighting oppression. O'Donnell reveals she can finally be "a normal person" for the first time since becoming famous, with older Irish men buying her Guinness instead of cursing at her in CVS. The conversation touches on the No Kings Day protests on June 14th that gave her hope, her concerns about American extremism, and why she believes billionaires and "patriarchal fascist" leaders are destroying the country she still loves despite choosing to leave it.

Chris Cuomo breaks down the two critical questions President Trump must answer about Iran that will define his presidency: Does America have to stop the Iranian regime from enriching uranium to weapons grade? And if yes, how? He argues that MAGA is imploding over this issue, with isolationists clashing with hawks, while nobody is offering real solutions beyond ""bomb them"" or ""do nothing."" Cuomo examines why Trump's best move is likely dealmaking rather than military action, despite pressure from Israel and his own party. He explores the legal constraints on unilateral military action, the distinction between the Iranian regime and its people, and why Trump needs to distance himself from MAGA's extremes to build the consensus necessary for handling this crisis. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how the Iran uncertainty is affecting markets and what investors can do to protect their assets.

Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur, author, and founder, Blueprint) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why he believes humans are on the verge of defeating death itself. Johnson, who sold Braintree/Venmo for billions and has become the most biologically measured person in history, shares his radical philosophy that AI and advancing technology will soon make aging optional—and why he's spending millions to prove it's possible. The conversation tackles Johnson's controversial practices (yes, the blood transfusions were real but misunderstood), his extreme health protocols that have given him the biomarkers of a 20-year-old at age 47, and why he believes "Don't Die" will become as influential as Christianity or democracy. From his one key metric for health (resting heart rate before bed) to why Americans resist his message while other cultures embrace it, Johnson makes the case that we're approaching an "event horizon" where human existence fundamentally changes.

Gary Vaynerchuk (CEO, VaynerMedia) joins Chris Cuomo for a raw conversation about why young Americans are struggling despite having more opportunities than ever. Gary V argues that overprotective parenting, participation trophies, and a lack of accountability have created a generation that expects success without work—while parents use their children's achievements for their own self-esteem. The discussion tackles the hard truths about why 22-year-olds are moving back home, why kids are protesting causes they don't understand, and how America has become addicted to blame instead of personal responsibility. Vaynerchuk shares his immigrant perspective on merit, consequences, and why he believes the real pandemic isn't COVID—it's the death of accountability. From parents wanting to attend job interviews to the weaponization of fear in politics, this conversation exposes uncomfortable realities about modern American culture.

Chris Cuomo sits down with two of the most important voices in UAP transparency: George Knapp (Journalist, KLAS-TV, and Weekend Host, Coast to Coast AM—the investigative journalist who exposed Area 51) and Jeremy Corbell (Investigative Filmmaker and Podcast Co-Host, "Weaponized"). Together, they dissect the government's decades-long campaign of lies and disinformation about unidentified aerial phenomena, including recent admissions that officials have deliberately spread propaganda to confuse the public and military personnel. The conversation reveals how a small group within the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, and defense contractors continues to guard these secrets, while recent "debunking" efforts in the Wall Street Journal represent a new form of conspiracy—claiming UFOs aren't real at all. Knapp and Corbell explain why transparency will only come through journalism and whistleblowers, not government disclosure, and why the American public deserves answers about technology that could reshape our understanding of physics and national security.

Chris Cuomo breaks down why the protests in Los Angeles are a manufactured crisis that serves President Trump's political agenda while distracting from real issues like the economy and interest rates. He argues that Trump's federalization of the National Guard is unnecessary theatrics designed to make him look strong, while the left's protests—contaminated by pro-Palestinian flags and property destruction—hand Trump an optical victory. Cuomo warns that both sides are playing dangerous games with selective outrage, comparing protesters to insurrectionists when it suits them and ignoring their own hypocrisy. He sees America's political divisions manifesting physically in the streets, creating conditions that could lead to catastrophic consequences. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how to protect wealth during uncertain times through tangible assets like gold and silver rather than hackable digital currencies.

Scott Galloway (author, entrepreneur, Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, and podcast host of The Prof G Pod and Pivot) joins Chris Cuomo to unpack the political chaos surrounding the protests in Los Angeles and the federal government’s response. Cuomo and Galloway break down how both major parties are using the situation for political gain, why President Trump’s immigration crackdown is strategically timed, and how California Governor Gavin Newsom’s role could shape the future of the Democratic Party. Their conversation covers the risks of escalating authoritarian rhetoric, the economic roots of national division, and Galloway’s warning that America may be echoing the political tactics of 1930s Germany. He also makes the case for national service and explains why young men are becoming politically disillusioned, while Cuomo continues his longstanding critique of the two-party system and its destructive influence on American politics.
