    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.

    The Deal With The Devil Both Parties Keep Making

    Graham Platner has suspended his Senate campaign following allegations of sexual assault that he continues to deny. Chris Cuomo argues that while Platner’s campaign may be over, the political lesson is just beginning. From Donald Trump to Graham Platner to Mitch McConnell, Chris explains why both parties repeatedly make what he calls “deals with the devil”—embracing flawed leaders because they believe they can deliver power. He breaks down why Republicans tied themselves to Trump, why Democrats embraced Platner despite repeated warning signs, and why populist movements often lose themselves by elevating personalities over principles. Chris also examines Trump’s attacks on NATO and Greenland, the ongoing Iran conflict, Dan Bongino and the Epstein controversy, Zohran Mamdani’s rise, the affordability crisis, and why economic justice—not culture war politics—will determine America’s political future.

    Ian Bremmer Says There Is No Iran Deal

    Ian Bremmer (President & Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down the biggest geopolitical and political questions shaping America today, from Iran and Israel to artificial intelligence, China, and the growing anti-establishment movement transforming U.S. politics. Bremmer explains why he believes there is no real Iran deal despite the White House’s claims, what the ceasefire actually accomplished, why he sees Trump’s strategy as a major foreign policy setback, and how the conflict could continue to affect inflation, energy markets, and the economy heading into the midterms. The conversation also explores Israel’s security challenges, Benjamin Netanyahu’s political future, and the strategic balance across the Middle East. The discussion then turns to AI, where Bremmer argues that governments are falling behind technology, why artificial intelligence is moving faster than regulation, how China is competing with the United States, and why AI could reshape national security, the economy, and the future of work. Finally, Chris and Ian examine the anti-establishment wave emerging in American politics, the shift toward economic populism, younger voters, and why the next political movement may look very different from MAGA.

    250 Years Later, America Still Works

    As America marks its 250th birthday, Chris Cuomo argues that one institution has quietly done more than any other to preserve the country’s constitutional system: the judiciary. Cuomo breaks down four recent Supreme Court cases that have generated intense political debate, explaining what the rulings actually said, why so many people misunderstood them, and what they reveal about the role of the courts in checking executive power. He also examines why America’s founders created an independent judiciary, why that system continues to matter today, and why he believes the courts remain one of the strongest safeguards against political overreach.

    Corruption Is Everything

    Chris Cuomo argues that corruption—not inflation, immigration, or the culture war—is the issue that could reshape American politics. Using Jared Kushner’s business dealings as a case study, Cuomo explains why he believes the Trump family’s financial relationships deserve far greater scrutiny and why anti-corruption should become the defining issue of the next election. Cuomo examines Kushner’s investments, foreign business ties, ethics concerns, and the broader question of whether America’s political system has become too comfortable with public officials and their families profiting from power. He also explains why he believes Democrats are missing an opportunity by failing to make corruption the centerpiece of their political message, arguing that government integrity remains one of the few issues capable of uniting voters across the political spectrum.

    Stephen Miller Created His Own Nightmare

    Chris Cuomo breaks down why Stephen Miller’s latest attack on Democrats may reveal more about MAGA’s vulnerabilities than the opposition’s. Cuomo argues that the populist anger that propelled Donald Trump to power hasn’t disappeared—it has grown—and that the same frustrations driving voters today could ultimately be turned against Trump and the Republican establishment.   Cuomo also explains what New York City’s recent elections say about the broader political landscape, why establishment candidates continue to struggle, and why voters increasingly favor outsiders over experience. Plus, he examines why “democratic socialism” has become such a difficult political brand, arguing that Democrats are making the right diagnosis about many of America’s problems while handicapping themselves with language that alienates persuadable voters.   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!

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Betrayed MAGA

    Marjorie Taylor Greene (former U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District) joins Chris Cuomo for one of her most candid conversations yet, explaining why she believes Donald Trump has broken key promises to the MAGA movement, why she refuses to give unconditional loyalty to any politician, and why she says Trump—not her—is the one who changed. Greene discusses her growing disagreements with Trump, the future of MAGA, government spending, foreign policy, immigration, and the Jeffrey Epstein controversy that continues to divide Trump’s supporters. She also shares details of conversations she had with Trump about the Epstein files, explains why she believes many voters feel betrayed by Washington, and argues that political leaders are demanding loyalty instead of delivering results. Cuomo and Greene debate whether MAGA is still the movement it once was, what happens when political identity becomes personal loyalty, and why so many Americans remain frustrated with both parties despite years of promises from Washington. The conversation also explores the midterms, populism, America’s political future, and whether either party is addressing the issues that matter most to voters.
