The Chris Cuomo Project

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.

Doss and Cuomo examine Trump’s connection with working-class voters, the incentives driving political media, and whether online debates are persuading anyone or simply feeding the algorithm.  Doss also challenges Cuomo on his anti-partisan approach, his decision in the 2024 election, and whether it’s possible to stay in the political middle in the Trump era.

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. Tim Dillon (comedian and podcast host, "The Tim Dillon Show") argues that cancel culture burned out because ideological purity is exhausting — and that the real credibility crisis belongs to the "expert" class, who failed on everything from Iraq to the pandemic and lost the public's trust. He and Cuomo get into why audiences now reward authenticity over corporate media, and why "agreeable nihilism" became the American mood. Adam Friedland (comedian and podcast host, "The Adam Friedland Show") gets honest about money and precarity — the middle-class squeeze that politics ignores while catering to the extremes — and how he taught himself the craft of interviewing by studying Howard Stern and leaning into self-deprecation. It's a look at ambition, purpose, and why he stopped coasting. Max Amini (comedian and actor, @MaxAmini) breaks down where the real red lines in comedy are — why fear holds artists back, why authenticity always wins out, and how he navigates what can and can't be said performing across wildly different cultures, from America to the Middle East.

Chris Cuomo argues that Perez Hilton's viral livestream this week and Todd Blanche's imminent confirmation as Attorney General are proof of the same broken system: one where the wrong agendas are being empowered at the expense of the public interest, and where profitability and loyalty consistently win out over responsibility and independence. Chris lays out the five sins of Todd Blanche and why they should have disqualified him from ever becoming Attorney General. Chris argues that Blanche isn't just the most conflicted AG pick in modern American history — he's a metaphor for the entire moment we're in, where there's no shame in the game and nothing is hidden anymore because the powerful don't feel they have to hide it.

Chris Cuomo explains why Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth has become the latest political obsession—and why he doesn’t think it changes much of anything. Chris breaks down what happened during Fauci’s Senate testimony, why his lawyers advised him not to answer questions, why Trump continues to avoid the same scrutiny over the government’s pandemic response, and what we’ve still failed to learn from COVID.  Chris also breaks down new polling on affordability, healthcare, immigration, and the economy, explaining why he believes politicians are focused on the wrong fights while Americans are focused on paying their bills. He discusses Trump’s standing with voters, why affordability remains the defining issue for so many Americans, and why the conversation in Washington looks so different from the conversation happening around kitchen tables.

Brian Krassenstein and Ed Krassenstein (writers, entrepreneurs, and political commentators) join Chris Cuomo for an extended conversation about the political battles shaping the next election—and the one issue they believe could matter more than anything else: AI. Chris, Brian, and Ed debate whether Democrats are missing their biggest opportunities against Trump, how Republicans continue to dominate the messaging battle, and why issues like voter ID, immigration, and affordability remain so difficult for Democrats to navigate. They also discuss whether AI should be treated as a public resource, what the technology means for jobs and the economy, and why the political fight that decides 2028 may have very little to do with Donald Trump.
