Chris Cuomo opens up about his own experiences with political backlash, media takedowns, and personal loss to explain why so many Americans are angry — and why that anger, while justified, is too often manipulated. He breaks down how both MAGA and its left-wing “mirror” exploit frustration, feeding division instead of pursuing real fixes.From calling out selective outrage over his firing at CNN to challenging how the far left and far right weaponize cultural conflicts, Cuomo digs into the policies and political games that keep voters fighting while powerful interests benefit. He questions the remedies both sides claim to offer, from “free everything” to “cut everything,” and urges listeners to focus on solutions that actually work rather than being caught in an endless cycle of outrage.

Matt Taibbi on the TRUTH Behind Russiagate
Matt Taibbi (author, investigative journalist, and publisher, Racket News) joins Chris Cuomo to dig into the unanswered questions surrounding the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign, the origins of the Steele dossier, and what he sees as parallels to Watergate and the WMD scandal. They debate whether any crimes will be proven, the role of the media, and how Russiagate’s legacy shapes politics today.
From FISA warrants to informant approaches, leaked intelligence to unanswered questions about Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Taibbi lays out the evidence he’s uncovered — and why he believes accountability matters. Cuomo challenges him on the political impact, the risks of endless investigations, and the future of independent journalism.

What’s REALLY Behind the Texas Walkouts
Texas Democrats have left the state to block a mid-decade redistricting vote, triggering threats of arrest from Governor Greg Abbott — and even FBI involvement. The high-stakes standoff has become a flashpoint for the 2024 political landscape, with lawmakers fleeing to blue states in protest as the GOP tries to reshape congressional maps.
In this episode of The Chris Cuomo Project, Chris and his team explore what the odds are telling us — not just about Texas, but about the 2024 landscape. From redistricting battles to surprise firings and shifting polls, prediction markets are offering a unique window into the political chaos. And according to Cuomo, they might be more accurate than traditional pundits ever were"

Why This Texas Democrat Is Going Viral
James Talarico (Texas State Representative) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the intersection of faith, politics, and public service. Talarico reflects on his viral Joe Rogan appearance, his progressive Christian identity, and why he believes the Democratic Party must reconnect with its moral roots. He explains his resistance to toxic online culture, how he walks the line between calling out bad ideas and respecting opponents, and what lessons he draws from both seminary and the Texas statehouse. Cuomo and Talarico also explore systemic extremism, media incentives, gerrymandering, and whether national office is the best place to make real change.

Why Extremism is WINNING in America
Monday’s mass shooting in Manhattan prompts Chris Cuomo to dig into what he believes is the real root cause: a culture of extremism that’s been supercharged by social media. Cuomo examines how algorithm-driven outrage, partisan politics, and a warped incentive structure are creating an environment that fuels radicalism — not just abroad, but at home.
From CTE and mental illness to algorithms and ideology, Cuomo warns that America’s growing appetite for destruction is no longer just rhetorical. It’s being acted out in real time, and unless we recalibrate what we reward in our politics and culture, the violence will only escalate.
