The Chris Cuomo Project

Chris Cuomo reacts to and analyzes the arrest of Don Lemon following a protest inside a Minnesota church, arguing that the case raises far bigger questions than Lemon himself. Cuomo explains why personal feelings about Lemon — his style, his choices, or his politics — are clouding a more serious issue: whether the government should be deciding who counts as a journalist and when reporting becomes a crime.

Cuomo walks through what the law actually requires, why the FACE Act is being stretched in a way that should concern journalists and non-journalists alike, and why the arrest of Lemon — and fellow journalist Georgia Fort — represents a dangerous precedent even if you strongly dislike how Lemon operates. He also addresses the tension between free speech and freedom of worship, the difference between bad judgment and criminal conduct, and why this case is not a close call in his view.

Chris Cuomo delivers a one-year report card on Donald Trump’s second term, grading the presidency category by category based on what Americans are actually experiencing. From immigration enforcement and civil rights to the economy, foreign policy, and the country’s overall sense of stability, Cuomo lays out where the administration delivered, where it fell short, and where the consequences have been unmistakable.

Cuomo argues that Trump identified issues with broad public support — border enforcement, cost of living, projecting strength — but repeatedly undermined those advantages through escalation, rhetoric, and governing by provocation. He explains how immigration became a political loser despite majority support for enforcement, why tariffs and manufactured chaos haven’t helped everyday Americans, and how the administration keeps turning momentum into self-inflicted damage.

The analysis also digs into radicalization, outrage-driven media, and why politics increasingly resembles performance instead of leadership. Cuomo closes with a blunt question at the one-year mark: is this presidency making life better for most Americans — or simply louder, harsher, and more divided?

Chris Cuomo brings together key moments from this week’s Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM as the fallout from Minnesota collides with immigration enforcement, political rhetoric, and the fight over what comes next.Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) weighs in on the administration’s aggressive approach, sanctuary city policies, and why breakdowns between federal, state, and local authorities helped fuel chaos. Cuomo presses Lawler on rhetoric, escalation, and whether the White House misread how Americans would react to deadly consequences playing out in the streets.Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha joins to break down why overreach has shifted the political terrain, how Democrats risk fumbling the moment, and why affordability — not outrage — still drives voters heading into the midterms. Across interviews and calls, Cuomo challenges both parties on immigration, enforcement, and the widening gap between political theater and the realities Americans are living with.

Chris Cuomo breaks down why what’s unfolding in Minnesota isn’t an isolated failure, but a repeatable pattern driven by escalation, provocation, and political convenience. He walks through how federal immigration enforcement tactics collided with protest, rhetoric, and poor leadership decisions — producing outcomes that were foreseeable long before they became deadly.Cuomo argues this moment forces adjustments on both sides ahead of the midterms. He explains why dehumanization, overreach, and “us vs. them” politics keep producing the same results, why blaming pawns won’t fix the underlying problem, and why most Americans are actually aligned on enforcing the law the right way. Minnesota, he says, shows what happens when power is exercised without restraint — and why pretending it’s an exception only guarantees repetition.

Chris Cuomo responds to the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis during protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Cuomo walks through what we actually know, why local leaders are pushing back hard against federal enforcement tactics, and how this moment fits into a familiar pattern of escalation — one where the outcome wasn’t unpredictable.Cuomo makes a clear distinction between supporting law enforcement and accepting strategies that make violence more likely. He explains why flooding heavily armed federal agents into already tense protest zones doesn’t calm situations down, and why pretending these outcomes are “shocking” after the fact avoids the harder question: what kind of country are we becoming if this keeps happening?
