    Why Mike Tyson Is FIGHTING for Legal Weed

    Mike Tyson (former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and Co‑Founder & Chief Brand Officer, TYSON 2.0) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss how cannabis changed his life and why he’s fighting to change federal law. Tyson details how marijuana helped him recover his health, lose 100 pounds, and leave behind addiction. He’s now advocating for cannabis to be removed from the Schedule I drug list and legalized at the federal level. Joined by entrepreneur Brady Cobb (Sunburn Cannabis), Tyson makes the case for safe, tested, and age-restricted cannabis — not just as a business, but as a matter of justice. The conversation covers banking restrictions, bipartisan political support, and why cannabis reform could be a winning issue for 2025. Tyson also reflects on his most famous quotes, the impact of social media, and what he calls the “fight of his life."

    How Trump’s Tax Bill BETRAYS His Own Voters

    Chris Cuomo tears into Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it a "f*** you" to working Americans who are angry about a system rigged for the powerful. He argues the bill exposes everything wrong with American politics: it adds trillions to the debt while cutting Medicaid and SNAP, gives 80% of tax cuts to the wealthy, and hurts the very MAGA voters who supported Trump—especially through cuts to rural hospitals that disproportionately serve his base. Cuomo condemns Republicans like Lisa Murkowski who called the bill fiscally irresponsible but voted for it anyway, proving party loyalty trumps principle. He argues this regressive bill—which treats tax cuts as "cost-free" through accounting gimmicks—is exactly why populist movements on both left and right are exploding. The bill rewards the top while punishing those struggling most, fueling the extremism and violence we're seeing across the political spectrum. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses why the bill's debt implications could force interest rate changes and what it means for household finances.

    AOC Is KILLING the Democratic Party Over Iran

    Chris Cuomo argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is killing the Democratic Party by pushing to impeach Trump over his Iran bombing that actually led to a ceasefire. He contends that Democrats are making the same mistake as MAGA by embracing extremism, with AOC consistently taking the losing side of every "80-20" issue: from defunding police to being too comfortable with pro-Hamas sentiment, and now trying to impeach a president for protecting Americans from extreme Islamism. Cuomo warns that the real threat facing America isn't just from foreign terrorists but from homegrown extremists of all ideologies—from the healthcare CEO killer to embassy attackers—who've been radicalized to believe violence advances their political agenda. He argues Democrats need to reject AOC's performative politics and focus on the economic issues that matter to working people, like Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," not chase impossible impeachments that make them look weak on national security.Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how the GOP budget bill's debt implications could affect American households and investment strategies.

    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.
