The Chris Cuomo Project episodes

November 12 Former Acting ICE Director on What’s Going Wrong at ICE
Todd Lyons (former Acting Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, controversial enforcement tactics, and growing concerns about accountability within the agency.
Cuomo presses Lyons about the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, questioning why the public still hasn’t received clear answers about the investigations and whether the lack of transparency is fueling suspicions of a cover-up. Lyons explains what he knows about the cases, acknowledges problems with accountability and body cameras, and defends the challenges facing immigration enforcement officers.
Cuomo and Lyons also examine ICE’s hiring and training practices, allegations of excessive force, detention conditions, and the political battle over sanctuary cities. Cuomo challenges Lyons on whether President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and enforcement priorities have fundamentally changed the agency, while Lyons argues that political polarization and hostility toward officers have contributed to the crisis.

Chris Cuomo breaks down the eight articles of impeachment introduced against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, examining allegations involving the war in Iran, civilian casualties, military strikes on suspected drug boats, and other controversial Pentagon actions. Cuomo explains the constitutional arguments behind the impeachment effort, the procedural options available to House Republicans, and why even a handful of GOP defections could put Hegseth in serious political jeopardy.

But the bigger question may be what President Donald Trump does next. Cuomo argues that removing Hegseth could be Trump’s smartest political move before Democrats take control of Congress, potentially sparing his administration a prolonged impeachment fight. He examines whether Speaker Mike Johnson can stall the resolution, how Hegseth might defend himself, and why Massie’s unexpected challenge could force Trump’s hand.

November 09 Why Healthcare Is So Expensive — For People and Their Pets
Joe Spector (Founder and CEO, Dutch Vet) joins Chris Cuomo to examine why healthcare has become so expensive for Americans and their pets—and what both systems reveal about the cost of getting medical treatment. Spector explains how insurance, prescription drug pricing, financial incentives, and a lack of transparency drive up costs, while discussing why millions of pet owners delay veterinary care because they can’t afford it.
Drawing on his experience building human and veterinary healthcare companies, Spector explores how telemedicine, technology, and greater access to affordable treatment could help change the way people and their pets receive care.

Plus, Lichtman explains why he believes the election represents a pivotal moment for American democracy, what history tells us about political comebacks, and whether the results signal a lasting shift in the country’s political landscape.

Chris Cuomo travels to Detroit to talk with voters about Michigan’s closely watched Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers — and discovers a political landscape far more complicated than the polls and conventional wisdom suggest. With President Donald Trump’s approval and the economy weighing on voters’ minds, Democrats should have an advantage. But is that enough to win?

Through conversations with Detroit residents, Cuomo explores frustration over rising costs, uncertainty about both political parties, divisions within the Democratic coalition, and the challenges facing El-Sayed’s campaign. He also examines why voter turnout, relationships between Michigan’s Black and Arab communities, and questions surrounding Israel could play an important role in the election.

After hearing directly from voters, Cuomo explains why he believes the race could be more competitive than expected — and what Michigan might reveal about the broader battle for control of Congress in the midterms.

Chris Cuomo argues that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy could be setting MAGA up for a devastating defeat in the 2026 midterms — and that their actions expose a much bigger problem within the Republican Party.
Cuomo examines the controversy surrounding Ramaswamy’s campaign ad targeting Ohio gubernatorial opponent Amy Acton, questioning why figures like Vice President JD Vance and Megyn Kelly have failed to condemn tactics they would likely criticize if Democrats used them. He also takes aim at Musk’s extraordinary influence over American politics, from his role in the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative to his political spending, control of X, and involvement in U.S. foreign policy through Starlink.

October 20 Trump’s Own Allies May Have Just Cost Him the Midterms

Chris Cuomo argues that President Donald Trump may be heading toward a devastating midterm election — and some of his closest political allies could be responsible.

As Americans struggle with rising prices, stagnant wages, and an affordability crisis, House Speaker Mike Johnson and White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett continue to defend the Trump administration’s economic record. But Cuomo argues that their messaging is increasingly disconnected from the reality facing American workers.

Cuomo examines five major economic claims from the administration, challenges its arguments about inflation, wages, jobs, and energy prices, and explains why blaming former President Joe Biden may no longer be enough to convince voters.

October 15 Malcolm Gladwell Says We’ve Been Thinking About Gun Violence All Wrong
Malcolm Gladwell (journalist, podcast host, and author, “The American Way of Killing”) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why America has fundamentally misunderstood its gun violence epidemic. Gladwell challenges the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, examines its controversial historical origins, and argues that the country’s focus on assault weapons and mass shootings distracts from the greater toll of handguns and suicide. He also makes the case for more police officers and fewer people in prison, discusses the political divisions preventing meaningful reform, and weighs in on the future of MAGA and Donald Trump.
