  • Minnesota Is the Pattern, Not the Exception

    Minnesota Is the Pattern, Not the Exception
    Jan 29 2026
    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.

  • Minnesota Is the Warning Sign for What Comes Next

    Minnesota Is the Warning Sign for What Comes Next
    Jan 27 2026
    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?

  • Lara Trump, James Carville, and America’s Breaking Points

    Lara Trump, James Carville, and America’s Breaking Points
    Jan 25 2026
    Chris Cuomo curates key moments from the past week of Cuomo Mornings in this YouTube edition, pulling together the conversations that defined the show as debates over power, policy, and real-world consequences continued to collide on his SiriusXM program. Lara Trump addresses questions about tariffs, health care costs, and why she argues President Trump’s economic strategy is delivering results even as institutions push back. James Carville offers a stark counterpoint, criticizing Democratic leadership, warning that the political system is failing everyday voters, and weighing in on Greenland, ICE enforcement, and the dangers of governing through provocation instead of problem-solving. Listeners add their own blunt perspectives, pressing Cuomo on affordability, trust in the media, political independence, and whether either party still speaks for the American middle. Throughout the discussions, Cuomo keeps returning to the same pressure point: outrage and loyalty tests may dominate the political conversation, but they don’t lower costs, restore trust, or improve people’s lives—and voters are the ones paying the price.

  • What Trump Is Really Doing With Greenland

    What Trump Is Really Doing With Greenland
    Jan 22 2026
    Chris Cuomo breaks down what’s actually behind Trump’s sudden push around Greenland — and why it fits a familiar pattern in how power and pressure are used. Cuomo explains how disruption is often deployed as leverage, not something meant to fully play out, and why markets, institutions, and allies are rarely allowed to absorb the consequences people are told to expect. The rapid shift from tariff threats to talks with NATO reinforces the idea that escalation is part of the maneuver, not the destination. Placing the Greenland move in historical context, Cuomo points to moments like the Great Depression and the Great Recession to show why “let whatever happens happen” has never been true. Whether it’s markets, trade, or geopolitics, he argues that chaos is frequently the tool, not the endgame — and that recognizing this pattern matters far more than reacting to the headline of the week.

  • Why Politics No Longer Reflects Most Americans

    Why Politics No Longer Reflects Most Americans
    Jan 20 2026
    Michael Smerconish (host, SiriusXM’s The Michael Smerconish Program, and CNN’s Smerconish) joins Chris Cuomo to break down why American politics no longer reflects where most voters actually are. Cuomo examines how outrage-driven media, closed primaries, and algorithmic incentives reward the loudest fringe voices while sidelining the practical concerns of independents and moderates — from affordability and health care to trust in institutions.Cuomo and Smerconish dig into why nearly half the country now identifies as independent, why that reality is ignored by both parties, and how modern media economics make moderation a losing strategy. They also discuss whether shared civic spaces can still exist, how the “middle” gets erased by rage-based incentives, and what it would take to realign politics with how Americans actually live and think.

  • America's "6-7" Moment: January 6 and Renee Good

    America's "6-7" Moment: January 6 and Renee Good
    Jan 15 2026
    Chris Cuomo breaks down how the viral “6–7” trend isn’t just internet nonsense, but a symptom of something deeper — a growing rejection of certainty, authority, and good-faith interpretation in American life. What starts as shorthand for “this means nothing” becomes a way to dismiss facts, accountability, and moral clarity in a country still grappling with January 6.Cuomo connects that mindset to two moments that continue to haunt the national conscience: the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and the January 7, 2026 killing of Renee Good during an ICE encounter. He argues the danger isn’t only what happened, but how people justify it afterward — condemning violence on one side while explaining it away on the other. In a culture driven by outrage, tribal loyalty, and profit, “6–7” reflects how quickly moral lines collapse when nothing is taken seriously anymore.

  • Why Trump Talks Chaos Instead of Costs

    Why Trump Talks Chaos Instead of Costs
    Jan 13 2026
    Chris Cuomo breaks down why the nonstop political firestorms — from foreign crises to culture-war flashpoints — keep pulling attention away from the one issue hitting Americans hardest: the cost of living. From housing and health care to groceries, insurance, and wages, everyday affordability is squeezing families across the political spectrum, even as outrage-driven headlines dominate the conversation.Cuomo argues that these constant emergencies aren’t accidental — they reward spectacle, distraction, and zero-sum politics while real economic pressure goes unaddressed. Whether it’s Venezuela or the outrage-of-the-week at home, the result is a country fighting over everything except the problem most people actually feel every day: how expensive life has become.

  • What Really Happened in Venezuela (and What Comes Next)

    What Really Happened in Venezuela (and What Comes Next)
    Jan 8 2026
    Chris Cuomo breaks down the competing reactions to what just happened in Venezuela and why that “pick a side” framing misses the real issue. He lays out why the operation went forward, what it cost, why the aftermath is more complicated than “bad guy out, good guys in,” and the biggest unanswered questions about what the Trump administration is doing now and what comes next. Then, Rick de la Torre (founder and CEO, Tower Strategy, and former CIA Caracas Station Chief) joins Chris to explain what the post-operation reality looks like on the ground, why stability often means dealing with whoever is actually inside the country, and how a reported CIA assessment fits into the decision to leave parts of the existing power structure in place—plus what that implies for the next phase in Venezuela.
