    The Five Sins Of Todd Blanche

    Chris Cuomo argues that Perez Hilton's viral livestream this week and Todd Blanche's imminent confirmation as Attorney General are proof of the same broken system: one where the wrong agendas are being empowered at the expense of the public interest, and where profitability and loyalty consistently win out over responsibility and independence. Chris lays out the five sins of Todd Blanche and why they should have disqualified him from ever becoming Attorney General. Chris argues that Blanche isn't just the most conflicted AG pick in modern American history — he's a metaphor for the entire moment we're in, where there's no shame in the game and nothing is hidden anymore because the powerful don't feel they have to hide it.

    You Can't Debate Someone Like RFK Jr.

    Chris Cuomo explains why the viral exchange between CNN’s Dana Bash and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reveals a much bigger problem than the debate over vaccines. Using the interview as a case study, Chris breaks down why political conversations have become less about changing minds and more about reinforcing identities, why fact-checking alone often fails, and why so many of America’s biggest debates now feel impossible to resolve. Chris also examines RFK Jr.‘s claims about vaccines, Anthony Fauci’s role during the pandemic, Donald Trump’s handling of COVID, Operation Warp Speed, the lab leak debate, immigration, Elon Musk, political tribalism, and why he believes the country’s biggest challenge isn’t a lack of facts -- it’s the way Americans now process them.

    Fauci Pleading The Fifth Doesn't Actually Matter

    Chris Cuomo explains why Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth has become the latest political obsession—and why he doesn’t think it changes much of anything. Chris breaks down what happened during Fauci’s Senate testimony, why his lawyers advised him not to answer questions, why Trump continues to avoid the same scrutiny over the government’s pandemic response, and what we’ve still failed to learn from COVID.  Chris also breaks down new polling on affordability, healthcare, immigration, and the economy, explaining why he believes politicians are focused on the wrong fights while Americans are focused on paying their bills. He discusses Trump’s standing with voters, why affordability remains the defining issue for so many Americans, and why the conversation in Washington looks so different from the conversation happening around kitchen tables.

    Everything You Hate About The Economy Was A Choice

    For decades, Americans have been told today’s economy is simply the result of capitalism, globalization, or forces beyond anyone’s control. Chris Cuomo argues that’s not true. From housing affordability and healthcare to Wall Street, pensions, student loans, immigration, and AI, Chris breaks down the political choices that reshaped the American economy, and why he believes those decisions, not ideology, are the real reason so many people feel like the system is working against them.  Chris also explains why he believes Democrats are making a critical messaging mistake ahead of the midterms, the economic argument he thinks can actually move voters, and why the next great political fight won’t just be over taxes or spending — but over who benefits from artificial intelligence, automation, and the next generation of American wealth.

    The Krassensteins Are Overshooting On Trump

    Brian Krassenstein and Ed Krassenstein (writers, entrepreneurs, and political commentators) join Chris Cuomo for an extended conversation about the political battles shaping the next election—and the one issue they believe could matter more than anything else: AI. Chris, Brian, and Ed debate whether Democrats are missing their biggest opportunities against Trump, how Republicans continue to dominate the messaging battle, and why issues like voter ID, immigration, and affordability remain so difficult for Democrats to navigate. They also discuss whether AI should be treated as a public resource, what the technology means for jobs and the economy, and why the political fight that decides 2028 may have very little to do with Donald Trump.

    Corruption Just Became Trump’s Biggest Problem

    Chris Cuomo breaks down why JD Vance is already blowing his chance at the presidency, why Trump's corruption just became his biggest political weakness, and why Democrats should be beating Trump by way more than they are heading into the 2026 midterms. Cuomo opens with a direct warning to Vance: step up or step off. The Vice President is either glossing over what everyone can see or outright pretending the Trump administration's failures aren't happening — and it's killing him with his own base. Cuomo argues Vance won't make it through the primaries if he doesn't figure out how to be honest with the American people. But the deeper story is about corruption. Cuomo walks through the polling — corruption is now a top-three issue for American voters, which has never been the case in modern polling history. That's not because voters got more sensitive. It's because Trump's corruption is more brazen than anything Americans have ever seen from a sitting president. Cuomo lays out the challenge: given all of this, why isn't Trump losing by more? Cost of living is voters' number one concern. Corruption is top three. ICE overreach is hurting the administration. The Iran war is dragging. Every underlying number tells the same story. Cuomo argues voters see what's wrong but aren't convinced Democrats will make it better — and that's where the midterms will actually be decided.

    Brian Tyler Cohen Explains What Democrats Must Do Next

    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”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss why Democrats have a real opportunity heading into the midterms — and what they must do differently if they want to keep it. Chris and Brian break down why disruption is driving American politics, why Democrats are positioned to become the new insurgent party, and what happens if they actually win. They debate the filibuster, socialism, institutional reform, messaging, the future of the Democratic Party, and whether Trump’s movement has fundamentally changed how politics works in America. Chris and Brian also discuss how to govern after victory, why political movements often lose their way once they’re in power, and what lessons Democrats should learn from MAGA before it’s too late.

    Lindsey Graham Proved What’s Wrong With American Politics

    Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death has prompted tributes from across the political spectrum, but Chris Cuomo argues that honoring someone’s life doesn’t mean ignoring their legacy. Chris examines Graham’s remarkable rise from a difficult childhood to one of the most influential Republicans in Washington, while confronting the political transformation that defined his career. From calling Donald Trump a religious bigot during the 2016 campaign to becoming one of Trump’s closest allies, Chris argues that Graham’s evolution reflects a political system that rewards access, loyalty, and power over principle. Chris also explores January 6, the SAVE Act, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Brett Kavanaugh, media coverage of Graham’s death, and why he believes Graham’s career should serve as a cautionary tale — not simply about one senator, but about what American politics increasingly rewards.
