Chris Cuomo examines the media response to President Biden’s cognitive decline and recent cancer diagnosis, arguing that the real scandal isn’t a cover-up—it’s that the truth was plainly visible all along. Citing Biden’s long-known history of brain aneurysms, age-related decline, and now prostate cancer, Cuomo pushes back on the idea that these developments were hidden or suppressed.
Instead, Cuomo claims the media deliberately chose to downplay Biden’s condition to help him defeat Trump in 2020 and beyond. He argues that this isn’t a conspiracy—it’s worse: a decision rooted in political preference, not journalistic integrity. Cuomo says what happened wasn’t secrecy, but strategic silence.

Former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe Explains Why “Trump Sucks” Doesn’t Work Anymore
Terry McAuliffe (72nd Governor of Virginia and former chairman, Democratic National Committee) joins Chris Cuomo to assess the state of the Democratic Party and what went wrong in the 2024 election. From failing to connect on core issues like inflation, immigration, and working-class economic anxiety, to misreading the appeal of culture war politics and populist messaging, McAuliffe lays out why Democrats are struggling — and what needs to change. He and Cuomo debate the party’s messaging strategy, Kamala Harris’s political positioning, and whether MAGA’s success stems from Trump’s policies or his symbolic power as a disruptor. McAuliffe also shares his experience on the front lines in Ukraine and weighs in on what the party must do to win back Congress and move forward after Biden.
Note: This episode was recorded prior to President Biden's cancer diagnosis.

The Jet That BLEW UP Trump's Populist LIE
Chris Cuomo reacts to Donald Trump’s decision to accept the use of a luxury jet from Qatar, calling it the clearest proof yet that Trump’s populist image is a lie. He explains why this isn’t just about optics or foreign influence—it’s a symbol of how power protects itself, and how the very figure meant to “drain the swamp” is embracing the perks of the establishment. From presidential ethics loopholes to foreign access, Cuomo breaks down how this one gesture reveals everything about who benefits from the system, who gets left behind, and why outrage only flows in one direction depending on whose team you’re on.

Chris Cuomo SLAMS Trump for Telling Struggling Families to Cut Back
Chris Cuomo responds to Donald Trump’s remark that “maybe a kid can have just two dolls, not 20” and says the message isn’t wrong—it’s just aimed at the wrong people. Instead of telling working families to cut back, Cuomo argues, Trump should be speaking to the billionaires and corporate class who’ve grown wealthier by shifting burden onto everyone else. He breaks down how capitalism without responsibility has hollowed out the middle class, why economic burden is falling on the wrong side of the system, and how Trump’s populist message continues to resonate—despite missing the real target.

Chris Cuomo on Why John Fetterman GETS IT
Chris Cuomo unpacks the backlash against Senator John Fetterman and argues that Democrats are undermining their own by prioritizing ideological purity over pragmatic progress. Responding to a harsh New York Magazine article, featuring quotes from Fetterman’s former chief of staff and anonymous party sources, Cuomo criticizes the renewed questioning of Fetterman’s mental fitness and says the attacks are less about policy failure than about his willingness to support Israel and work with Republicans on immigration and trade. He defends Fetterman’s “progressive pragmatism” as a path Democrats should embrace and warns that the party risks losing the majority by turning on those trying to deliver real results.
