The Two Iran Questions That Will DEFINE Trump's Presidency
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.

Why This Tech Billionaire Believes Death Is a CHOICE
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.

BONUS: Why Gary Vee Says Parents Are RUINING Their Kids
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.

BONUS: How George Knapp & Jeremy Corbell Are Fighting the UFO COVER-UP
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.

How Trump MANUFACTURED the Perfect Political Crisis
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.

Why Scott Galloway Says the LA Protests HELP Trump
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.

How Trump's Budget Bill Could CRUSH Republicans
Chris Cuomo breaks down why President Trump’s new budget reconciliation bill—officially called the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—could become the defining issue of the midterms. While Republicans frame the legislation as a path to tax relief and fiscal discipline, Cuomo argues it adds trillions to the debt and deficit, hurts the same working-class voters who helped elect Trump, and exposes deep fractures within the GOP.
Plus, Kirk Elliott, Ph.D. (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins to explain how mounting debt, persistent inflation, and Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating are reshaping the financial landscape—and what individuals can do to protect their money

Tim Dillon: Why Comics Are The ONLY Ones Telling The Truth!
Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, The Tim Dillon Show) joins Chris Cuomo to break down the increasingly blurry lines between politics, media, and entertainment. They discuss why comedians are often saying what journalists won’t, how audiences respond to satire in a fractured media environment, and what it means when jokes land closer to the truth than the news.
Dillon reflects on public backlash, political polarization, and the pressure comedians face in a culture that demands both authenticity and outrage. Cuomo and Dillon also examine the performance of politics, the role of independent voices in shaping discourse, and whether comedy is becoming one of the last places people go to hear what they really think.

The REAL Trump Economic Fallout Is Still Coming
Chris Cuomo breaks down why the long-term impact of Trump’s trade policies and tariff tactics remains widely misunderstood. He argues that the real consequences of Trump’s economic moves haven’t even started yet — and that both media and political leaders are pretending otherwise. From supply chain shifts to small business strain and rising consumer costs, Cuomo warns that chaos in the global marketplace doesn’t equal progress.
He challenges the populist narrative by asking why ordinary Americans are told to sacrifice while the ultra-rich continue accumulating more. With inflation, borrowing, and investment uncertainty looming, Cuomo pushes for a deeper look at who really wins under “America First” economics. Later in the episode, Kirk Elliott, Ph.D. (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins the show to discuss how investors can protect themselves and adapt in the face of mounting economic uncertainty.
