  Why I Refuse To Pick A Side

  Aug 18, 202638 min

  Chris Cuomo digs into the latest comments and questions from the YouTube community, taking on viewers who accuse him of going too easy on Donald Trump, being unfair to Zohran Mamdani, carrying water for Israel, and refusing to choose a political side. He also responds to a Trump voter who says he’s abandoning the GOP over healthcare and affordability, and explains why the anger that originally drove people toward Trump was real—even if Trump ultimately failed to fix the system he promised to disrupt.Chris argues that MAGA has swallowed the Republican Party, questions a political culture where loyalty to Trump matters more than challenging your own side, and explains why he’d probably have millions more subscribers if he simply became another partisan voice. He also gets into criticism of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, what the government may really know about UFOs, growing resentment toward billionaires, and why Democrats need an economic agenda built around affordability, wages, healthcare and a system that works for more than the people at the top.Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/joinFollow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoprojectProtect your family with life insurance through Ethos—get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/cuomo Learn more about your ad choices.

  6 Reasons MAGA’s Islamophobia Will Backfire

  Aug 13, 202635 min

  Chris Cuomo breaks down six reasons MAGA’s increasingly anti-Muslim rhetoric is both politically self-defeating and fundamentally at odds with American values, arguing that legitimate concerns about Islamist extremism are being used to cast suspicion on an entire religion.  Chris examines Nancy Mace’s recent comments about Muslim elected officials, the critical difference between Islam and Islamism, and why collective blame has repeatedly produced some of the ugliest chapters in American history.  He also explains why targeting Muslim Americans could ultimately make the country less safe while handing MAGA’s opponents an opportunity to make a much stronger argument about religious freedom, citizenship, and the Constitution.   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 Unlock your best hair, skin, and body with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code CUOMO at https://irestore.com/cuomo ! #irestorepod Learn more about your ad choices.

  AOC Just Changed The Conversation

  Aug 11, 202639 min

  Chris Cuomo argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doing exactly what Democrats have to do to beat MAGA in the midterms — and lays out the six changes she's signaling that every Democrat needs to make if they want to win. Chris walks through AOC's viral ABC News clip and explains why her shift toward reasonable messaging on public safety, crime, and coalition-building is exactly the pivot her party needs. Chris argues that extremism is dead as a winning strategy, and the only way to beat MAGA is to broaden the coalition, not narrow it.

  The Five Sins Of Todd Blanche

  Aug 6, 202644 min

  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.

  Aug 4, 202641 min

  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.
