Free from the constraints of a traditional media organization, The Chris Cuomo Project is home to independents, free agents, and those who don’t fit nicely on one side or the other. Let’s get after it.

    How Trump MANUFACTURED the Perfect Political Crisis

    Chris Cuomo breaks down why the protests in Los Angeles are a manufactured crisis that serves President Trump's political agenda while distracting from real issues like the economy and interest rates. He argues that Trump's federalization of the National Guard is unnecessary theatrics designed to make him look strong, while the left's protests—contaminated by pro-Palestinian flags and property destruction—hand Trump an optical victory. Cuomo warns that both sides are playing dangerous games with selective outrage, comparing protesters to insurrectionists when it suits them and ignoring their own hypocrisy. He sees America's political divisions manifesting physically in the streets, creating conditions that could lead to catastrophic consequences. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how to protect wealth during uncertain times through tangible assets like gold and silver rather than hackable digital currencies.

    Why Scott Galloway Says the LA Protests HELP Trump

    Scott Galloway (author, entrepreneur, Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, and podcast host of The Prof G Pod and Pivot) joins Chris Cuomo to unpack the political chaos surrounding the protests in Los Angeles and the federal government’s response. Cuomo and Galloway break down how both major parties are using the situation for political gain, why President Trump’s immigration crackdown is strategically timed, and how California Governor Gavin Newsom’s role could shape the future of the Democratic Party. Their conversation covers the risks of escalating authoritarian rhetoric, the economic roots of national division, and Galloway’s warning that America may be echoing the political tactics of 1930s Germany. He also makes the case for national service and explains why young men are becoming politically disillusioned, while Cuomo continues his longstanding critique of the two-party system and its destructive influence on American politics.

    How Trump's Budget Bill Could CRUSH Republicans

    Chris Cuomo breaks down why President Trump’s new budget reconciliation bill—officially called the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—could become the defining issue of the midterms. While Republicans frame the legislation as a path to tax relief and fiscal discipline, Cuomo argues it adds trillions to the debt and deficit, hurts the same working-class voters who helped elect Trump, and exposes deep fractures within the GOP. Plus, Kirk Elliott, Ph.D. (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins to explain how mounting debt, persistent inflation, and Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating are reshaping the financial landscape—and what individuals can do to protect their money 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Tim Dillon: Why Comics Are The ONLY Ones Telling The Truth!

    Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, The Tim Dillon Show) joins Chris Cuomo to break down the increasingly blurry lines between politics, media, and entertainment. They discuss why comedians are often saying what journalists won’t, how audiences respond to satire in a fractured media environment, and what it means when jokes land closer to the truth than the news. Dillon reflects on public backlash, political polarization, and the pressure comedians face in a culture that demands both authenticity and outrage. Cuomo and Dillon also examine the performance of politics, the role of independent voices in shaping discourse, and whether comedy is becoming one of the last places people go to hear what they really think.

    The REAL Trump Economic Fallout Is Still Coming

    Chris Cuomo breaks down why the long-term impact of Trump’s trade policies and tariff tactics remains widely misunderstood. He argues that the real consequences of Trump’s economic moves haven’t even started yet — and that both media and political leaders are pretending otherwise. From supply chain shifts to small business strain and rising consumer costs, Cuomo warns that chaos in the global marketplace doesn’t equal progress. He challenges the populist narrative by asking why ordinary Americans are told to sacrifice while the ultra-rich continue accumulating more. With inflation, borrowing, and investment uncertainty looming, Cuomo pushes for a deeper look at who really wins under “America First” economics. Later in the episode, Kirk Elliott, Ph.D. (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) joins the show to discuss how investors can protect themselves and adapt in the face of mounting economic uncertainty.

    Biden’s Decline Was Known — And IGNORED

    Chris Cuomo examines the media response to President Biden’s cognitive decline and recent cancer diagnosis, arguing that the real scandal isn’t a cover-up—it’s that the truth was plainly visible all along. Citing Biden’s long-known history of brain aneurysms, age-related decline, and now prostate cancer, Cuomo pushes back on the idea that these developments were hidden or suppressed. Instead, Cuomo claims the media deliberately chose to downplay Biden’s condition to help him defeat Trump in 2020 and beyond. He argues that this isn’t a conspiracy—it’s worse: a decision rooted in political preference, not journalistic integrity. Cuomo says what happened wasn’t secrecy, but strategic silence.

    Former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe Explains Why “Trump Sucks” Doesn’t Work Anymore

    Terry McAuliffe (72nd Governor of Virginia and former chairman, Democratic National Committee) joins Chris Cuomo to assess the state of the Democratic Party and what went wrong in the 2024 election. From failing to connect on core issues like inflation, immigration, and working-class economic anxiety, to misreading the appeal of culture war politics and populist messaging, McAuliffe lays out why Democrats are struggling — and what needs to change. He and Cuomo debate the party’s messaging strategy, Kamala Harris’s political positioning, and whether MAGA’s success stems from Trump’s policies or his symbolic power as a disruptor. McAuliffe also shares his experience on the front lines in Ukraine and weighs in on what the party must do to win back Congress and move forward after Biden. Note: This episode was recorded prior to President Biden's cancer diagnosis.
