The Chris Cuomo Project episodes

January 08 What Really Happened in Venezuela (and What Comes Next)
Chris Cuomo breaks down the competing reactions to what just happened in Venezuela and why that “pick a side” framing misses the real issue. He lays out why the operation went forward, what it cost, why the aftermath is more complicated than “bad guy out, good guys in,” and the biggest unanswered questions about what the Trump administration is doing now and what comes next.
Then, Rick de la Torre (founder and CEO, Tower Strategy, and former CIA Caracas Station Chief) joins Chris to explain what the post-operation reality looks like on the ground, why stability often means dealing with whoever is actually inside the country, and how a reported CIA assessment fits into the decision to leave parts of the existing power structure in place—plus what that implies for the next phase in Venezuela.

January 06 Why Copying Trump Keeps Backfiring
Chuck Rocha (political consultant, Democratic strategist, and President & Founder, Solidarity Strategies) joins Chris Cuomo to break down what Democrats are getting wrong heading into the midterms and why “fighting harder” is not the same as winning. Rocha explains how campaigns are being distorted by incentive structures that reward outrage, viral conflict, and online validation over persuasion and coalition-building.
Cuomo and Rocha dig into what actually moves voters outside the algorithm, why working-class support is harder to hold than party leaders want to admit, and how Democrats can sell a governing agenda without mimicking Trump-style politics. They also talk through what messages cut across identity and ideology, why authenticity beats performance, and what a real winning strategy looks like when the electorate is exhausted and distrust is the default.

January 01 Five Predictions That Will Define 2026
Chris Cuomo lays out five interconnected predictions for 2026 — not as isolated forecasts, but as a chain reaction driven by exhaustion, escalation, and a public fed up with how power is exercised. He warns that the rising stakes of political rhetoric and performative outrage make some kind of major internal attack increasingly likely, and explains why the aftermath — misinformation, blame, and manipulation — will force a reckoning with social media algorithms that profit from division.
Cuomo argues that MAGA is unsustainable in its current form and will begin collapsing under the weight of constant hostility, setting the stage for a pivotal midterm election. Whether Democrats capitalize or squander that moment, he says, will determine whether the results are historic or razor-thin. He closes with his biggest prediction: the next president won’t be a familiar figure, but someone outside the system, emerging from a public desperate for disruption, perspective, and a way out of the exhaustion cycle driving American politics.

December 30, 2025 Why “Success” Still Leaves So Many People Miserable
Kevin Dahlstrom (Founder, Bolt Health) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about why money, status, and constant striving so often fail to produce a good life — and what actually does.
The discussion begins with Dahlstrom’s viral list of 55 rules for life and expands into a deeper look at health, performance, purpose, and the quiet habits that compound over decades. Cuomo and Dahlstrom talk candidly about aging, hormones, fitness, family, minimalism, and why wisdom is easy to articulate but hard to live — especially in a culture built around shortcuts, optimization, and comparison.
They also explore why performance matters more than longevity alone, how chasing “more” can crowd out meaning, and why the most reliable improvements in life tend to be boring, incremental, and deeply human rather than flashy or extreme."

December 25, 2025 A Christmas Reality Check for the Comment Section
Chris Cuomo responds directly to YouTube comments and viewer pushback in a holiday-week comments episode, addressing reactions to his takes on rage bait, Trump, Venezuela, due process, and whether constant outrage actually helps Democrats win power. He explains why condemning Trump at maximum volume may feel righteous but often fails politically, and why selective outrage — especially around war, deportation, and national security — undermines credibility across party lines.

Chris also answers comments about his clashes with media figures like Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, and Mehdi Hasan, reflects on how algorithms reward anger over judgment, and explains why he refuses to build a personal brand around hate or tribal loyalty. He closes with a Christmas message about generosity, independence, and resisting the pressure to let politics turn every disagreement into a moral war.

December 23, 2025 What “Real Ones” Get Wrong
Chris Cuomo takes on one of the most overused labels in politics right now: being a “real one.” He argues that what passes for authenticity on both the right and the left has devolved into hot talk, algorithm-driven outrage, and performative aggression that feels powerful online but delivers nothing in real life. From MAGA’s unconditional loyalty to Trump to the left’s growing temptation to mirror that same rage, Chris explains why anger has become the currency — and why it’s collapsing under its own weight.
Chris makes the case that voters don’t want louder insults or more viral takedowns — they want results they can trust. He breaks down how outrage culture fuels political extremism, distorts priorities, and rewards people who talk tough without solving anything, while punishing those who focus on affordability, stability, and coalition-building. In the end, he argues that being a “real one” isn’t about right or left — it’s about rejecting the algorithm and choosing reality over rage.

December 18, 2025 Ro Khanna on How Democrats Can Win Without Becoming Trump
Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) joins Chris Cuomo to lay out what he believes is the strongest path forward for Democrats—one that centers affordability, health care, wages, and jobs instead of endless outrage over Donald Trump. Khanna explains why letting Affordable Care Act subsidies expire would hurt millions of Americans, how Medicare for All could reduce costs by cutting middlemen and negotiating prices, and why Democrats lose credibility when they campaign against Trump without offering a substantive economic alternative.
Cuomo and Khanna debate whether outrage-driven politics actually wins elections, the influence of corporate money and PACs, the decline of unions, and why Democrats risk becoming defined solely in opposition to Trump. They also tackle foreign policy flashpoints—from Venezuela to Gaza—faith and extremism, and what Khanna calls a “new economic patriotism” aimed at restoring the American Dream before the 2026 midterms.

December 16, 2025 What the Government Still Isn’t Telling Us About UAPs
Dan Farah (director and producer, “The Age of Disclosure”) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why dozens of senior military, intelligence, and political officials are now going on the record about unidentified anomalous phenomena—and why the U.S. government has kept so much hidden for decades. Farah breaks down how his documentary brought together bipartisan voices with direct knowledge of UAP programs, what they were legally allowed to say, and why secrecy around non-human technology has persisted for more than 80 years.
Cuomo and Farah examine the national security implications of unexplained craft operating near nuclear sites, the race to reverse-engineer advanced technology, and why even presidents have been kept in the dark. They also explore the stigma that has suppressed serious inquiry, the growing bipartisan push for transparency, and what meaningful disclosure could look like—without sensationalism, but with accountability.

December 11, 2025 Anthony Scaramucci on How Trump Broke American Politics
Anthony Scaramucci (Founder and Managing Partner, SkyBridge Capital, former White House Communications Director, and author, “Solana Rising: Investing in the Fast Lane of Crypto”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down how Trump’s influence reshaped American politics — from loyalty culture and broken institutions to the money pipelines that fuel the outrage economy. Scaramucci explains why Trumpism still distorts incentives in Washington, why corruption persists across both parties, and how political dysfunction became a profitable business model.
Cuomo and Scaramucci also dig into the economics behind the moment — from crypto’s growing role in global finance to how digital markets, speculation, and new technologies intersect with political instability. They explore what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether voters still reward serious leadership, and why America’s systems keep drifting further from what working people actually need.

December 09, 2025 The Truth We’re Missing About UFOs and 3I Atlas
Avi Loeb (Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science, Harvard University) joins Chris Cuomo to break down why the interstellar object 3I Atlas challenges what we think we know about space, evidence, and scientific certainty. Loeb explains what makes this visitor unusual, why early observations don’t fit the standard “it’s just a comet” answer, and why the scientific community keeps shutting down possibilities before the data is even in.
Cuomo and Loeb dig into the limits of government transparency on UAPs, the role of Loeb’s Galileo Project in gathering independent evidence, and why scientific gatekeeping and political fear stop the public from seeing the full picture. They also explore why discovery demands humility, what the next phase of observation could reveal, and how accepting uncertainty is the only way to understand what might actually be moving through our skies.
