    What Comedians Understand That the Media Doesn't

    Why do comedians so often see the culture more clearly than the people paid to cover it? Chris Cuomo sits down with three of the sharpest comedic minds working today for conversations that go well past the jokes — about what's really happening in media, money, and what you're still allowed to say. Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, "The Tim Dillon Show") argues that cancel culture burned out because ideological purity is exhausting — and that the real credibility crisis belongs to the "expert" class, who failed on everything from Iraq to the pandemic and lost the public's trust. He and Cuomo get into why audiences now reward authenticity over corporate media, and why "agreeable nihilism" became the American mood. Adam Friedland (comedian and podcast host, "The Adam Friedland Show") gets honest about money and precarity — the middle-class squeeze that politics ignores while catering to the extremes — and how he taught himself the craft of interviewing by studying Howard Stern and leaning into self-deprecation. It's a look at ambition, purpose, and why he stopped coasting. Max Amini (comedian and actor, @MaxAmini) breaks down where the real red lines in comedy are — why fear holds artists back, why authenticity always wins out, and how he navigates what can and can't be said performing across wildly different cultures, from America to the Middle East.

    The 7 Deadly Sins Of Donald Trump

    Chris Cuomo breaks down what he calls Donald Trump’s “seven deadly sins,” using pride, wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth as a framework for examining the president’s conduct and the direction of his administration. Cuomo connects the seven sins to Trump’s approach to ICE and the Constitution, political opponents, personal enrichment, the war in Iran, and the use of presidential power. He also explains why he believes the signs point to a more serious problem surrounding future elections and whether the country’s constitutional guardrails will hold.

    America Is Losing Its Grip On The World

    Josh Rogin (Lead Global Security Analyst, WP Intelligence, and and Columnist, The Washington Post) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, the consequences of America’s changing role in the world, and why Rogin believes the U.S. keeps getting distracted from the long-term challenge posed by China.  Rogin explains why he sees few good options remaining in Iran, how declining American influence could create opportunities for adversaries, and why Taiwan’s dominance of advanced semiconductor manufacturing makes the U.S.-China relationship increasingly consequential.  They also discuss the failures of American foreign policy, the lessons of 9/11, political polarization, and what the next generation of American leadership could mean for the country’s role abroad.

    D.L. Hughley Says Trump Is America

    D.L. Hughley (Actor, Comedian, and Host, “The D.L. Hughley Show”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss why he believes Donald Trump reflects who America really is and why the country may have reached “rock bottom.” Hughley and Cuomo dig into race, civil rights, immigration, political division, and the historical forces that continue to shape American politics. Hughley also argues that Trump and his supporters are now confronting the results of the policies they wanted, and explains why acknowledging where the country is may be necessary before it can move forward.

    How You Actually Beat Trump

    Heading into the midterms, what actually beats Trumpism — and is the two-party establishment even capable of it? Chris Cuomo brings together three of the sharpest and most different voices in American politics to argue over what's really broken and what actually wins. Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District) details the falling-out that ended her alliance with Donald Trump — the White House phone call in which she says he warned her "friends are going to get hurt" if the Epstein files came out, the death threats against her family, and the loyalty demands that led her to conclude the movement had become a cult and the whole system is broken. James Carville (Democratic strategist and political commentator) makes the case that Trump is an existential threat that calls for scorched-earth tactics, and spars with Cuomo over the better path to a majority — hammering Trump as the most destructive figure in the country, or winning back voters by telling them "you're right about what's wrong, and here's who actually fixes it." Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen," and author, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World") argues Democrats are institutionalists to a fault — too precious about the filibuster and the norms while the other side barrels through them — and that the only way to beat the fear-mongering is to seize power and actually deliver for people.

    What They’re Still Not Telling Us About UAPs

    What do we actually know about UAPs — and what is the government still keeping from the public? Chris Cuomo revisits some of his most revealing conversations about unexplained phenomena, extraterrestrial life, government secrecy, and the evidence behind extraordinary claims. Neil deGrasse Tyson (astrophysicist, “StarTalk” podcast host, and author, “Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter”) makes the case for scientific skepticism, questioning the reliability of eyewitness testimony and historical alien-abduction claims while explaining why extraordinary assertions require objective evidence rather than belief. Dan Farah (director and producer, “The Age of Disclosure”) discusses claims from government and intelligence officials about advanced UAP technology, alleged crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering programs, secrecy from Congress and the public, and unexplained activity around military bases and nuclear sites — including why even a human adversary behind some of these objects would represent a major national-security problem. Jeremy Corbell (investigative journalist and co-host, “Weaponized” podcast) examines military UAP footage, the extraordinary capabilities some objects appear to demonstrate, the growing difficulty of separating authentic evidence from AI-generated imagery, and the risks whistleblowers have taken to push the government toward greater transparency.

    Trump Picked The Wrong Fight With Canada

    Kevin O’Leary (investor, entrepreneur, and Shark, ABC’s “Shark Tank”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about Donald Trump’s economic challenges heading into the midterms, the escalating trade fight with Canada, and what America needs to compete in the AI and energy race. O’Leary argues that despite strong markets and corporate performance, Trump has a problem at the kitchen table: small-business owners and everyday Americans are still feeling the effects of high energy, food, and operating costs. He explains what he thinks Trump could change before November, including easing tariffs and focusing more directly on the economic pressures facing small businesses and the heartland. Chris and Kevin also dig into Trump’s increasingly contentious relationship with Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, whom O’Leary calls “smart as hell.” They debate whether Trump’s approach to tariffs and trade is ultimately hurting American interests, how Carney has benefited politically from standing up to Trump, and why the economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada makes a prolonged trade war difficult for both countries. Plus, O’Leary discusses his massive investments in energy and AI infrastructure and responds to the growing backlash against data centers over their use of water, power, and other community resources.  Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/join Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoproject Save 20% on your first online Lucy order at https://lucy.co/CUOMO with promo code CUOMO!

    The $20 Burrito Problem Trump Can’t Ignore

    Andrew Kolvet (spokesperson, Turning Point USA, and executive producer, “The Charlie Kirk Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging debate over the future of Trump’s MAGA movement, the economy, immigration, Islam, ICE, and the rise of the DSA on the left. Kolvet explains how a college student’s complaint about a $20 burrito became a national political argument—and why he thinks Republicans risk making the same mistake as Democrats if they dismiss voters who say everyday life is still too expensive. Chris presses him on whether Donald Trump deserves the same criticism conservatives leveled at Joe Biden when voters felt the White House wasn’t acknowledging their economic reality.  Chris and Andrew also clash over Muslim immigration and the role of Christianity in America, debate the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the use of force by ICE, and examine whether Democrats are moving toward their own political transformation. Kolvet argues that the DSA could mount the same kind of “hostile takeover” of the Democratic establishment that MAGA carried out on the Republican Party, while Chris questions whether the movement’s most extreme positions actually represent where Democratic voters are headed. They also discuss conspiracy culture and social media, including the attacks Kolvet and others at Turning Point faced after Charlie Kirk’s death and why he believes online incentives are pushing Americans toward increasingly baseless conclusions.
