The Chris Cuomo Project

Dr. Drew Pinsky (Chief Patient Officer, The Wellness Company, and Podcast Host, "Ask Dr. Drew") joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about what went wrong during the pandemic and how science was hijacked by politics. Drew explains why mandates lacked bioethical standing, why “irrational certitude” is so dangerous, and why “rational uncertainty” must be at the heart of science. They also discuss long Covid and vaccine injuries, the collapse of trust in institutions, and how arrogance replaced humility in public health. Dr. Drew warns about the dangers of narcissism, scapegoating, and mob thinking, and shares why the pessimism of young people scares him the most. At the same time, he talks about what gives him hope — resilience, families, and the possibility of finding meaning in difficult times. NOTE: This conversation was recorded before the killing of Charlie Kirk. Support our sponsors: Go to cozyearth.com/CHRIS for up to 40% off the best pants, joggers, shirts, everything!

On August 22, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. The suspect, DeCarlos Brown Jr., had a long history of arrests and court appearances, repeatedly entering and exiting the justice system before this attack. Chris Cuomo looks at what went wrong, from failures in mental health support to the pressures on judges and law enforcement. He explores how crime is covered, the systemic issues behind tragedies like this, and why understanding the full context matters more than partisan spin.

Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was murdered on a Utah college campus on September 10, 2025. Chris Cuomo reflects on the shock of this killing, its timing just one day before September 11, and the deeply divided reaction across the country. Some Americans grieve, others cheer, and still more look for revenge — a sign, Chris argues, of how far we’ve drifted from shared values.In this episode, Chris examines what Charlie’s death reveals about our culture, the destructive power of social media, and why division and hate now dominate our political discourse. He urges viewers to confront the toxic systems fueling violence and rage, and challenges everyone to decide what they’ll do with this moment — before it escalates further.

Max from UNFTR (publisher, UNFTR Media, and host, Unf*cking the Republic podcast and YouTube channel) joins Chris Cuomo to explain what he calls the greatest financial heist in modern history. Donald Trump and his family are quietly building a “shadow central bank” through a new stablecoin — a specialized type of cryptocurrency backed by U.S. Treasury assets. If two key bills moving through Congress become law, Trump’s company could take over powers traditionally held by the Federal Reserve, giving him the ability to profit when the economy falters. Chris and Max break down how this plan works, how Congress’ actions could permanently change the U.S. financial system, and why Trump’s scheme represents one of the most serious threats to economic stability and democracy."

"President Donald Trump has sparked a political firestorm with a new Truth Social post demanding that Big Pharma release data on the COVID-19 vaccines developed under Operation Warp Speed, his signature pandemic initiative. Trump says he has seen “extraordinary” information about the vaccines and wants it made public — a move that could validate his program while putting him at odds with much of his own base, which has spent years pushing anti-vaccine narratives that fueled the MAGA misinformation machine. This surprise turn creates a rare opportunity for Democrats to challenge those narratives and highlight the truth about what the vaccines did and didn’t do, even if it indirectly boosts Trump’s legacy. Chris Cuomo explains how this reckoning over pandemic data could reshape political alliances, deepen divides within Trump’s movement, and expose bad-faith actors who profited from spreading lies. He also breaks down how both parties mishandled pandemic messaging and policies — from school shutdowns to mask guidance — and why understanding those failures is critical to preventing the same mistakes in the future."

America isn’t a direct democracy — and Chris Cuomo wants to explain why that distinction matters. In this episode, he breaks down the difference between a constitutional republic and majority rule, showing how the structure of the Senate and Electoral College give disproportionate power to smaller states. He highlights how one-third of the U.S. population controls half the Senate and explores how this imbalance shapes our politics. Chris examines how America’s system was originally designed to protect minorities but now enables fringe interests to dominate national debate. From social media algorithms to gerrymandering, he argues the few often overpower the concerns of the many. Along the way, he critiques hot-take culture, recalls the fight over Obamacare, and questions how both left- and right-wing populist movements exploit discontent.

Chris Cuomo takes on Trump’s move to declare an emergency in Washington, D.C., arguing that Democrats risk losing ground when they appear to dismiss real problems like crime, affordability, and immigration simply because they oppose Trump’s solutions. Cuomo stresses that ignoring grievances only alienates the majority of voters. He unpacks why tariffs, crime policy, and even debates over cultural issues like gender and gerrymandering will shape the midterms — and why Democrats must focus on offering better remedies instead of negating the problems. Cuomo’s message: don’t fight Trump by denying the issue, fight him by presenting smarter solutions that connect with the majority.

Donald Trump has declared a crime emergency in Washington, D.C., invoking federal power to take temporary control of the city’s police force. Chris Cuomo breaks down what this move really means — why it may resonate with voters who like a show of force, and why Democrats risk losing the argument if they frame it the wrong way. Chris explores whether deploying the National Guard and military-style policing actually reduces crime, the deeper social conditions fueling violence, and how the politics of “law and order” shape public perception. Is this about safety — or strategy?

Benny Johnson (political commentator and host, “The Benny Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a raw and often combative conversation about politics, media, and the future of the country. From pandemic hindsight to Trump’s political legacy, Cuomo and Johnson clash over freedom, responsibility, and how America should remember its leaders. The discussion also dives into divisiveness in politics, conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the role of the media, and whether algorithms and online platforms should enforce ethical standards. Cuomo and Johnson push back against each other, but also find moments of agreement on the need for decency, accountability, and better solutions for families and communities.

Chris Cuomo opens up about his own experiences with political backlash, media takedowns, and personal loss to explain why so many Americans are angry — and why that anger, while justified, is too often manipulated. He breaks down how both MAGA and its left-wing “mirror” exploit frustration, feeding division instead of pursuing real fixes.From calling out selective outrage over his firing at CNN to challenging how the far left and far right weaponize cultural conflicts, Cuomo digs into the policies and political games that keep voters fighting while powerful interests benefit. He questions the remedies both sides claim to offer, from “free everything” to “cut everything,” and urges listeners to focus on solutions that actually work rather than being caught in an endless cycle of outrage.

Matt Taibbi (author, investigative journalist, and publisher, Racket News) joins Chris Cuomo to dig into the unanswered questions surrounding the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign, the origins of the Steele dossier, and what he sees as parallels to Watergate and the WMD scandal. They debate whether any crimes will be proven, the role of the media, and how Russiagate’s legacy shapes politics today. From FISA warrants to informant approaches, leaked intelligence to unanswered questions about Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Taibbi lays out the evidence he’s uncovered — and why he believes accountability matters. Cuomo challenges him on the political impact, the risks of endless investigations, and the future of independent journalism.

Texas Democrats have left the state to block a mid-decade redistricting vote, triggering threats of arrest from Governor Greg Abbott — and even FBI involvement. The high-stakes standoff has become a flashpoint for the 2024 political landscape, with lawmakers fleeing to blue states in protest as the GOP tries to reshape congressional maps. In this episode of The Chris Cuomo Project, Chris and his team explore what the odds are telling us — not just about Texas, but about the 2024 landscape. From redistricting battles to surprise firings and shifting polls, prediction markets are offering a unique window into the political chaos. And according to Cuomo, they might be more accurate than traditional pundits ever were" 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 Join Chris Ad-Free On Substack: http://thechriscuomoproject.substack.com Support our sponsors: Life insurance is never cheaper than it is today.

James Talarico (Texas State Representative) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the intersection of faith, politics, and public service. Talarico reflects on his viral Joe Rogan appearance, his progressive Christian identity, and why he believes the Democratic Party must reconnect with its moral roots. He explains his resistance to toxic online culture, how he walks the line between calling out bad ideas and respecting opponents, and what lessons he draws from both seminary and the Texas statehouse. Cuomo and Talarico also explore systemic extremism, media incentives, gerrymandering, and whether national office is the best place to make real change.

Monday’s mass shooting in Manhattan prompts Chris Cuomo to dig into what he believes is the real root cause: a culture of extremism that’s been supercharged by social media. Cuomo examines how algorithm-driven outrage, partisan politics, and a warped incentive structure are creating an environment that fuels radicalism — not just abroad, but at home. From CTE and mental illness to algorithms and ideology, Cuomo warns that America’s growing appetite for destruction is no longer just rhetorical. It’s being acted out in real time, and unless we recalibrate what we reward in our politics and culture, the violence will only escalate.

Chris Cuomo examines the enduring controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the moral urgency behind full transparency. Cuomo rejects conspiracy theories about murder and client lists, arguing instead that political opportunists have co-opted the issue to distract and divide voters while ignoring the public’s demand for accountability. He critiques both left and right figures for exploiting the scandal, outlines what a real release of documents should entail, and warns about the political cost of extremism over pragmatism. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins the show to explain the inflationary pressures affecting the U.S. economy and what consumers should understand about rising debt, interest rates, and financial instability.

Ami Kozak (comedian and musician) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss rising anti-Zionism, the backlash against Israel since October 7th, and how he uses satire to respond to hate. Kozak explains how his Jewish identity shapes his worldview, why the far left and far right both weaponize antisemitic tropes, and how performative politics is blurring the lines between legitimate critique and bigotry. He also shares impressions and critiques of public figures like Bernie Sanders, Dave Smith, and Joe Rogan, takes on Tucker Carlson, and explains why impressions can reach people in ways arguments can’t.

Chris Cuomo unpacks the truth about the Epstein documents and why so many people — especially in MAGA circles — feel betrayed. There’s no client list. No smoking-gun videos. But there is a cover-up — just not the one you’ve been told. Cuomo explains who’s actually responsible for redacting the names tied to Epstein, why Trump’s inner circle stoked false expectations, and how conspiracy grifters continue to profit off your outrage. Cuomo also calls out leading voices on the left and right for weaponizing the issue without pushing for real transparency — and explains why the fight over these files won’t go away anytime soon. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins the show to help people cut through the noise and make clear-headed decisions in a chaotic media and political landscape.
