In late September, President Donald Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) — a sweeping directive ordering federal agencies to target what it calls “domestic terrorism” linked to so-called anti-fascist movements. Citing incidents like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and riots in Los Angeles and Portland, the memo instructs law enforcement to investigate “anti-American,” “anti-capitalist,” and “anti-Christian” ideologies — while omitting far-right violence entirely.

Chris Cuomo breaks down why NSPM-7 may be the most alarming policy yet of Trump’s presidency: how it redefines dissent as extremism, blurs the line between free speech and criminal intent, and expands federal power to police ideas instead of actions."

President Trump has deployed National Guard troops to Washington D.C., Portland, and Chicago — a show of force that raises questions about presidential power and the limits of the law. Chris Cuomo examines how the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 were designed to separate military authority from civilian law enforcement, and why those boundaries matter now.

A Trump White House video blames Democrats for the government shutdown — accusing them of pushing $1.5 trillion in spending, “open borders,” and even “health care for illegal aliens.” Chris Cuomo shows how these exaggerated claims are designed to stoke anger, divide voters, and make outrage the easiest path to political wins.

Adam Mockler (podcast and YouTube host, The Adam Mockler Show, and Commentator, MeidasTouch Network) joins Chris Cuomo to examine the Democratic Party’s challenges in the “attention economy.” From Gavin Newsom’s rise to Trump’s strategy of grievance politics, they debate whether Democrats can counter MAGA without becoming its mirror image.
Mockler shares his journey from making YouTube videos at age nine to debating Trump supporters and growing into one of the most prominent young progressive voices online. Their conversation explores social media’s role in shaping political culture, the dangers of radicalization, and the opportunities for Democrats to present real solutions on affordability, immigration, and leadership.

Chris Cuomo argues that Democrats are missing their biggest opportunity: to stop “resisting” MAGA and start proving they can deliver better solutions. From social media’s toxic influence to real issues like jobs, prices, immigration, and gerrymandering, he urges Democrats to “change the game” instead of becoming what they oppose.

Chris explains why grievance politics is a dead end, why Charlie Kirk’s murder should not be politicized, and how Democrats can reclaim momentum by offering stronger ideas on affordability, workforce development, education, and more. He warns that social media companies and partisan rage are driving America to the bottom — but insists the majority of voters are desperate for something better.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension has reignited questions about free speech, corporate power, and what the First Amendment actually covers. Chris Cuomo explains why this isn’t a constitutional case, why Disney had the legal right to act, and how judgment about whether the decision was right is separate from what the law requires. He also compares the public response to Kimmel with how his own suspension was handled, highlighting inconsistencies in accountability.

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.

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.
