The Chris Cuomo Project

Benny Johnson (political commentator and host, “The Benny Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a raw and often combative conversation about politics, media, and the future of the country. From pandemic hindsight to Trump’s political legacy, Cuomo and Johnson clash over freedom, responsibility, and how America should remember its leaders. The discussion also dives into divisiveness in politics, conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the role of the media, and whether algorithms and online platforms should enforce ethical standards. Cuomo and Johnson push back against each other, but also find moments of agreement on the need for decency, accountability, and better solutions for families and communities.

Chris Cuomo opens up about his own experiences with political backlash, media takedowns, and personal loss to explain why so many Americans are angry — and why that anger, while justified, is too often manipulated. He breaks down how both MAGA and its left-wing “mirror” exploit frustration, feeding division instead of pursuing real fixes.From calling out selective outrage over his firing at CNN to challenging how the far left and far right weaponize cultural conflicts, Cuomo digs into the policies and political games that keep voters fighting while powerful interests benefit. He questions the remedies both sides claim to offer, from “free everything” to “cut everything,” and urges listeners to focus on solutions that actually work rather than being caught in an endless cycle of outrage.

From CTE and mental illness to algorithms and ideology, Cuomo warns that America’s growing appetite for destruction is no longer just rhetorical.
