Alan Dershowitz (lawyer, author, and Professor of Law, Emeritus, Harvard Law School) joins Chris Cuomo for a tough, unvarnished look at whether America’s courts can still be trusted to hold the line in a democracy under pressure. Cuomo pushes on the cases shaping Trump’s legal future, the role of partisan judges, and the growing belief that the judiciary is no longer an impartial guardrail but a political weapon. They dig into the power of prosecutors, the incentives driving political lawfare, and how social media outrage has made it even harder for the public to separate fact from spin. Cuomo also challenges whether the courts can stay legitimate when every ruling is now filtered through tribal loyalty, media distortion, and a political environment where accountability itself has become partisan.

Chris Cuomo explains why the shutdown outrage was never going to deliver real gains — not because the left was wrong, but because they were boxed in by laws and limits that made a clean, moral fight impossible. He walks through how progressives pushed for affordability, transparency, and protections on subsidies, but were forced into a deal shaped by rules written years ago under earlier administrations and reinforced during Trump’s presidency. Cuomo breaks down how the outrage economy and algorithm politics make good-faith leadership nearly impossible, and why many Democrats are now trying to shift from anger to achievable wins on healthcare, cost of living, and basic government function. He also shows how the MAGA–MEGA divide is reshaping expectations for 2026 — and why political incentives keep pulling both sides toward conflict even when voters want competence.

Chris Cuomo explains why Donald Trump’s greatest threat isn’t the radical left or his political opponents — it’s his own agenda. From tariffs and SNAP cuts to open corruption and tone-deaf optics like his privately funded “Arc de Trump,” Cuomo argues Trump’s way of “keeping promises” is destroying the very movement that built him. Cuomo shows how Trump’s policies are punishing the same working-class voters who powered his rise, turning MAGA into a movement divided against itself. He also looks at how Democrats could seize the moment by offering real fixes — not just outrage — and how the coming battles over affordability, healthcare, and corruption could reshape both parties before the 2026 midterms.

Chris Cuomo breaks down what 2025's off-year elections reveal about America’s political realignment — and why he calls it the real war for the country’s future. Voters across the country sent a clear message: they’re tired of chaos, exhausted by extremes, and demanding something that actually works. In New York City, former Governor Andrew Cuomo lost the mayor’s race to Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, a progressive voice from the same populist current that produced AOC and Bernie Sanders. Chris says that upset is part of a broader reckoning inside both parties — between MAGA, the politics of anger and grievance, and MEGA, the growing number of Americans weary of outrage and craving stability. And as both sides look ahead to the 2026 midterms, these results may be a preview of which message will win: rage, or results.

Chris Cuomo warns that America’s outrage cycle isn’t slowing down — it’s speeding up. From politics to social media, anger has become the new currency, and both sides are cashing in. As division deepens and distrust spreads, Cuomo explains why the system now rewards conflict over cooperation, and why that means things are going to get worse before they get better. He breaks down what it would take to rebuild decency and stop mistaking constant combat for civic engagement. Because if outrage keeps paying, everyone loses. Then, Cuomo checks the Kalshi prediction markets for who’s leading the 2028 Democratic field and whether Trump could run for a third term.

Brian and Ed Krassenstein (writers, entrepreneurs, and political commentators) join Chris Cuomo to talk about how social media fuels outrage and misinformation — and what can still be done to fix it. The brothers, known for their outspoken political commentary and massive online following, discuss what they’ve learned about truth, bias, and the business of being loud in America’s attention economy.Cuomo challenges whether online activism has become more about engagement than honesty, and the Krassensteins share how they navigate criticism, disinformation, and their own evolution in public life.

Chris Cuomo breaks down how the looming government shutdown and economic frustration are shaping the midterm elections — from tariffs and health care costs to the political messaging war over who’s to blame. He looks at what’s really driving voters’ anger and why both parties are struggling to connect with the middle. Cuomo also examines how Kalshi’s political betting markets are tracking the race in real time, showing where the smart money thinks control of Congress could land. With inflation stubborn, wages lagging, and families squeezed, Cuomo argues that the real election issue isn’t ideology — it’s survival.

Robert Weissman (Co-President, Public Citizen) joins Chris Cuomo following the No Kings protests of October 18, 2025 — a nationwide movement that drew an estimated five to seven million people across more than 2,700 U.S. cities in what organizers call the largest single-day protest in American history. As one of the event’s lead organizers, Weissman explains how Public Citizen, the progressive consumer-advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, helped mobilize Americans around the message that no president — not even Donald Trump — stands above the law. Cuomo and Weissman discuss what the protests reveal about public frustration with corruption, corporate influence, and creeping authoritarianism — and whether people power can still shape policy in a second Trump term. Weissman argues that mass protest is only the beginning of a longer fight for accountability. Plus, Chris looks at the Maine Senate race between Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Graham Platner — and how Kalshi’s betting markets reflect growing doubt about Platner’s future in the race and Collins’s fading prospects as Democrats hold an edge for Senate control.

Gen Z activist Manu Meel, co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led nonprofit that trains young people to hold civil, moderated discussions across political divides, joins Chris Cuomo to explain how his generation is fighting political polarization by turning outrage into conversation. Meel says young Americans—raised on algorithms and anger—are ready for something new, building more than 100 college chapters devoted to structured dialogue and civic engagement. Cuomo challenges whether bridge-building can survive in a social-media world that rewards rage, while Meel argues that exhaustion with constant conflict is creating an opening for empathy and debate to go viral.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts tied to classified documents — a case that underscores how far the Trump administration’s Justice Department is willing to go to target former insiders. Chris Cuomo breaks down what’s behind the indictment, why the evidence may not hold up, and what it reveals about how “lawfare” has become the weapon of choice in American politics. From selective prosecutions to the politics of revenge, Chris explains how the Bolton case blurs the line between accountability and retribution — and why that distinction matters for every future administration. He also looks at how the Kalshi betting markets are reacting to the indictment, what those odds suggest about who might be next, and why American justice is increasingly being treated like a political wager.

Chris Cuomo responds to a new round of listener calls and viewer comments, including reactions to Donald Trump’s “I hate my opponents” remark, criticism of his take on Jimmy Kimmel’s removal from air, and debate over the killing of Charlie Kirk. Callers question whether Citizens United has corrupted politics, argue that both parties have failed, and challenge Chris on his views about outrage and decency in the media. Cuomo reflects on his firing from CNN, the influence of social media algorithms, and why so much political commentary now thrives on anger instead of honesty. He also addresses confusion surrounding the Epstein files, responds to listeners who say he’s changed politically, and closes with a Morse-coded message from a viewer calling for peace.

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. Cuomo explains how these laws evolved to prevent political misuse of the military, why modern presidents have avoided invoking them, and how Trump’s approach tests that restraint. He argues that using military power as a political tool risks normalizing force where policy and persuasion should prevail — a shift that could alter the balance between authority and democracy in the United States."

Ian Bremmer (President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down President Trump’s 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza and the geopolitical risks behind it. They examine Israel’s growing international isolation, the political pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu, and whether Hamas will accept a deal that could finally stop the fighting. Bremmer explains how the conflict fits into a broader “new world disorder” — where U.S. influence, global alliances, and regional power brokers are all shifting. He and Cuomo discuss what a real peace would require, how Trump’s approach could redefine America’s role abroad, and what this moment reveals about the fragile state of global power.

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. Cuomo examines why both parties exploit grievance, how shutdown threats are more about blame than solutions, and the growing role of social media in fueling America’s hate machine. He challenges the idea that division is inevitable — and asks what it would take for Americans to stop rewarding politics of outrage.

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. But Cuomo argues the bigger issue isn’t Kimmel at all. While traditional media companies face clear legal standards and business risks, social media platforms operate with almost no guardrails. From Section 230 protections to algorithm-driven outrage, he breaks down why platforms like X and Facebook hold the real power over speech today — and why that imbalance threatens public discourse.

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.

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.
