The Chris Cuomo Project

Why do comedians so often see the culture more clearly than the people paid to cover it? Chris Cuomo sits down with three of the sharpest comedic minds working today for conversations that go well past the jokes — about what's really happening in media, money, and what you're still allowed to say.

Chris Cuomo breaks down what he calls Donald Trump’s “seven deadly sins,” using pride, wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, lust, and sloth as a framework for examining the president’s conduct and the direction of his administration. Cuomo connects the seven sins to Trump’s approach to ICE and the Constitution, political opponents, personal enrichment, the war in Iran, and the use of presidential power. He also explains why he believes the signs point to a more serious problem surrounding future elections and whether the country’s constitutional guardrails will hold.

Josh Rogin (Lead Global Security Analyst, WP Intelligence, and and Columnist, The Washington Post) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss Trump’s handling of the war in Iran, the consequences of America’s changing role in the world, and why Rogin believes the U.S. keeps getting distracted from the long-term challenge posed by China. 

Rogin explains why he sees few good options remaining in Iran, how declining American influence could create opportunities for adversaries, and why Taiwan’s dominance of advanced semiconductor manufacturing makes the U.S.-China relationship increasingly consequential. 

They also discuss the failures of American foreign policy, the lessons of 9/11, political polarization, and what the next generation of American leadership could mean for the country’s role abroad.

D.L. Hughley (Actor, Comedian, and Host, “The D.L. Hughley Show”) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss why he believes Donald Trump reflects who America really is and why the country may have reached “rock bottom.” Hughley and Cuomo dig into race, civil rights, immigration, political division, and the historical forces that continue to shape American politics. Hughley also argues that Trump and his supporters are now confronting the results of the policies they wanted, and explains why acknowledging where the country is may be necessary before it can move forward.

Kevin O’Leary (investor, entrepreneur, and Shark, ABC’s “Shark Tank”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about Donald Trump’s economic challenges heading into the midterms, the escalating trade fight with Canada, and what America needs to compete in the AI and energy race. O’Leary argues that despite strong markets and corporate performance, Trump has a problem at the kitchen table: small-business owners and everyday Americans are still feeling the effects of high energy, food, and operating costs. He explains what he thinks Trump could change before November, including easing tariffs and focusing more directly on the economic pressures facing small businesses and the heartland.

Chris and Kevin also dig into Trump’s increasingly contentious relationship with Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, whom O’Leary calls “smart as hell.” They debate whether Trump’s approach to tariffs and trade is ultimately hurting American interests, how Carney has benefited politically from standing up to Trump, and why the economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada makes a prolonged trade war difficult for both countries.

Plus, O’Leary discusses his massive investments in energy and AI infrastructure and responds to the growing backlash against data centers over their use of water, power, and other community resources.

Andrew Kolvet (spokesperson, Turning Point USA, and executive producer, “The Charlie Kirk Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging debate over the future of Trump’s MAGA movement, the economy, immigration, Islam, ICE, and the rise of the DSA on the left. Kolvet explains how a college student’s complaint about a $20 burrito became a national political argument—and why he thinks Republicans risk making the same mistake as Democrats if they dismiss voters who say everyday life is still too expensive. Chris presses him on whether Donald Trump deserves the same criticism conservatives leveled at Joe Biden when voters felt the White House wasn’t acknowledging their economic reality. 

Chris and Andrew also clash over Muslim immigration and the role of Christianity in America, debate the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the use of force by ICE, and examine whether Democrats are moving toward their own political transformation. Kolvet argues that the DSA could mount the same kind of “hostile takeover” of the Democratic establishment that MAGA carried out on the Republican Party, while Chris questions whether the movement’s most extreme positions actually represent where Democratic voters are headed.

They also discuss conspiracy culture and social media, including the attacks Kolvet and others at Turning Point faced after Charlie Kirk’s death and why he believes online incentives are pushing Americans toward increasingly baseless conclusions.

John Pavlovitz (author, “A Bigger Table,” pastor, and Substack Writer, “The Beautiful Mess”) joins Chris Cuomo to examine how Donald Trump and MAGA have transformed conservative Christianity, why political identity has become so difficult to break, and whether Americans can still be persuaded out of increasingly extreme political camps. Pavlovitz argues that Christian nationalism has become a “Jesusless Christianity” built around power rather than the teachings of Jesus, and explains why he sees Trumpism as a cultic movement that has replaced traditional sources of moral authority with loyalty to one person.

Chris and John also debate whether the left has its own problem with ideological purity, the rise of the DSA as an alternative to the Democratic establishment, and why frustration with the status quo continues to fuel political disruption. They discuss Chris’s concern that Islamophobia could become MAGA’s most effective distraction heading into the midterms, the difficulty of combating fear of Muslims in a country where many voters have little exposure to Islam, and what could happen if Americans lose faith in the legitimacy of the next election.

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.
