The Chris Cuomo Project - America’s Political Meltdown Is Here

Episode Date: November 25, 2025

Chris Cuomo connects a string of recent political stories — from Trump signing the Epstein files bill to Delegate Stacey Plaskett exchanging texts with Epstein during a 2019 hearing to Rep. Cory Mills’ stolen-valor scandal — to illustrate how each episode exposes the same habits of denial, excuse-making, and selective outrage that define today’s politics. Cuomo explains why these narratives are surfacing now, how both parties use them to score points, and why the truth keeps getting buried beneath performance. He also breaks down what recent political stories reveal about power: who gets protected, who gets punished, and who gets used as ammunition in a never-ending fight for advantage. Instead of treating these controversies as isolated events, Cuomo argues they come from the same broken incentives — where accountability is optional, bad actors thrive, and the public is left with a politics of spectacle instead of solutions.

You know, there's something behind all of the big events that is the key to what is killing us. If you look behind Epstein, if you look behind the disintegration of MAGA, if you look behind the new left, if you look at behind what's happening with the pardons, with the tariffs, with health care, with affordability. there is something going on that is rotting us from the inside out that is making progress almost impossible the question is what will you do about it and i will point it out to you and once you see it you'll see it everywhere i'm chris quillmore welcome to the chris Cuomo project. What do you see in Epstein and the near unanimous vote? I'll tell you what I see

is that left and right have become convinced that they're going to lose on this unless they get on top of it. But more importantly, what the left has figured out is what the right figured out first is that you can make the other side look bad with this. And in that there was one vote not to release the files now do i think we should release the files absolutely we have to release the epstein files we have to have them released we have to why because starting with maga and now with the new left or whatever you want to call them there's been so much hype so much insinuation so much false suggestion about why it's being hidden and what it means they've used it as a proxy for their boogeyman of the other side, right? That's how, that's how, remember,

the Deep State, Pizza Gate, the Clintons, the big and powerful elites on the left, that's what Bongino and Cash Patel and all the Podbrose with their hoodies were selling you. Don't you remember? That's what it was. That's what they just forgot the fact that Trump was tight with Epstein, right? They just forgot the fact that this guy had lots of tentacles into the right as well. And that's what they were selling you. This is bad for the left. Now what's going on? Well, it didn't come out. Why? Because Trump is hiding things. I don't know that. I don't know that. I'll tell you what Trump did. That was stupid. He put Cash Patel and Dan Bongino in positions of power where they could actually deliver on what they had been saying they wanted to

deliver. But they were bullshit. So now that the head of the FBI in number two and his is, you know, like-minded friend is the Attorney General, and they have nothing to release. They actually told you there'll be no further releases, and it drove MAGA crazy. Why? They'd been lied to. They've been set up. And they saw it, and it disgusted them.

And worse, they couldn't do anything about it because they'd never go to the other side. No way. Not in this binary system of us and them. they're stuck and they're just angry and festering and looking for anything. So then the left sees this. In the lack of release, there was an opportunity. Now, they'll say they want the release.

They never said it before. And don't give me this bullshit about how during the Biden administration, you couldn't release anything because of the Maxwell investigation. Look at what Representative Thomas Massey put out about showing what the law is, about what can be released and not during an investigation, and how narrow it is and temporary it. is you couldn't release anything about anybody else who was involved with Epstein because you were prosecuting one person in Galane Maxwell and by the way none of the names that are rumored to be in there

as people who are close to Epstein maybe got girls from Epstein regardless of their age I don't care if they're all 25 30 35 I don't care you don't want to know who those people are I do none of that could come out because they were prosecuting Maxwell bullshit okay but what does the left see advantage advantage trump looks bad in this looks like he's hiding something trump is like bewildered it's the first time i've seen donald Trump on his back foot no i don't think he's scared because he's implicated in it why because i don't think he's capable of that of course he's capable of it he just called a female reporter a pig anybody else does that they are dead man walking. Why not him? Ah, I'm glad I asked myself. Here's why. Because Donald Trump has

always been a surrender to what is no longer expected from our system. Donald Trump was a middle finger from middle America that politics has gotten so cheap, so cynical, so toxic that here, here's the virus. He was never an antidote. He was never medicine. He was always a virus. Make the political corpus sick. And hopefully the resulting fever will break this sickness and have us wake and get to a healthier place. It just hasn't happened. It's gotten worse. Everything's getting worse. And now we're seeing it on both sides. Just playing to the toxicity because that's what works. And my friends, when you look at everything, okay? So you want to chase after legal problems on one side, but never on your own. So

the left goes after Trump, but they don't do anything about Biden. Well, because it wasn't as bad. Then the right gets in. They want to investigate everything about Biden, nothing about Trump. They want to go after Biden for pardoning his son, but they don't. don't give a shit about who Trump pardons. Really? Why? Selective outrage. Why? Because knitting all of these things together. What's the difference between Black Lives Matter and January 6th? What's the difference between the corruption that the right sees and the corruption that the left sees? What's the difference between the political investigations in the right and the political investigations on the left? What's the difference when the right was going after Epstein and now the left?

is going after Epstein. What's the difference about when the right says the ACA sucks and they want to fix it and now the left says that it's all about health care costs and what we can do? When the right says it's all about affordability and the cost of living and how the gap between the rich, those who have too much and those who don't have enough

and they never have enough, how it's unacceptable and it has to change, and now the left is talking about affordability. What do you see behind that ping pong match? What I see is that we have become all about right versus left and we have forgotten about right and wrong. That's what it is. That is the root of the frustration. That is the root of the disaffection. That is the root of the disconnect. Everywhere else in your life, I was just talking to Greg, my producer, about this. When you're raising your kid, when you go to your school, your teacher meeting, okay?

Every parent that I came up with with their kids when they were young enough to be accountable and measured, we all wanted to hear the same thing when we went into that room, other than your kid's okay, which is, this is a good kid. They treat the other kids well. They're popular. They listen to me. They do what I say. They do what I tell them to do.

They're good to the other kids. They know how to behave. Why? Right and wrong. Okay? How does she read? How does he factor? All of those things matter to, of course.

But when someone says to you, and think about this for a second, oh, your kids are a slow reader, your initial response is, all right, how do I help? How do I help? How do I get them up there? How do I get her up there? If they were to say to you, your kids mean to the other kids, your reaction is not, how do I help. It's what the fuck. I can't wait till we get out of here. I can't wait till I get my hands on this kid. Why? Because that's right and wrong. That's about knowing how to behave. That's

about knowing how to act. That's about manners. That's about morals and values. Right? And that hits you here. It hits you here. It's not about what math class should she be in. Oh, I think that he took it easy on this history assignment. None of that. Same shit at work. Same shit in your friendships, right? Why does being on time matter so much? It shows about how you value somebody else. It's about respect. Why is respect so important to people? I got to get my respect. You've got to show me my respect. This person disrespected me. Why? It's about right and wrong. It's about decency. These are standards of society, of humanity, right? Why does it drive you crazy? You see two guys fighting, right? Binga, binga, bing, bing, bing, you probably watch. You see somebody,

you see a full-grown man smack a woman. It triggers something in you, right? That you don't get triggered when you see two women fighting, even if it's lopsided and one of them smacking the other one around. When you see people walking past somebody who's in a bad way, it triggers you, right? Why? Right and wrong. We have lost it in our politics. And has it always been this way? yes somewhat. But instead of Donald Trump being a middle finger, basically, I don't know what the right metaphor is, but it's basically just like they were just waving goodbye. We've just waved goodbye to ever caring about decency in our politics again. And it's all advantage all the time. These people had almost a unanimous vote for Epstein because it's become a litmus test for

which side is worse. And they're all running scared of it. They don't want to own it. because it's about abusing little girls, right? But I'll tell you whose vote I respect the most. And again, the files must be released. I've never said anything but that. Clay Higgins. Clay Higgins, the Republican, who, by the way, I don't give a lot of praise to in general.

I don't think I've ever called him out for something positive ever before. Why this? Because he's right. releasing these files will absolutely cause undue burden and hardship and pain to people who probably don't deserve it. And it's not just because it's a rabid media. He's wrong about that. It's his own people. It's his base versus the other base. In the eternal battle now, what has become an eternal battle or an interminable battle of which side is worse, you are absolutely. You are absolutely, Absolutely going to see people being brought down.

Why? Because that's what we do. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from laundry sauce. You want the good news or the bad news? I'll give you both. Here's the good news. We now know a lot more about how much what we put on our bodies affects what happens inside our bodies. Okay, that's the good news.

We know that what you wear, what you put on your skin, skin, okay, what touches you and what you touch has a big internal effect. Here's the bad news. We allow a lot of bad stuff to get into our body from what we wear. And you know what one of the key things is to think about, not just fabric, but how you wash your clothes. Enter laundry sauce, okay? This is something that is a little bit of a pro tip, okay? The heavy perfumes, the chemicals, the harshness of what they put into these things to mass produce them, it may get things clean, but man, it is doing you dirty. Laundry sauce is not just about, you know, taking those really harsh, almost obnoxious sense out of the equation. It's about allowing you

to be clean, allowing you to have clean things without the harsh chemicals, okay? And look, you're going to find laundry sauce has gone into having, it's almost like having cologne or perfume built into your laundry detergent and your drying protocols. But all of the range of all the great things, the wild strawberry, the tart cherry, the velvety saffron, you know, all of that is great. But to me, the best part is that they do it the right way, okay? Laundry sauce is now having their biggest sale of the year. You can get up to 40% off site wide for a limited time.

I was going to do, if I had, if I felt that it would matter enough, I would do a whole Billy Joel style. We didn't start the fire about the selective outrage and the hypocrisy in our politics. Because it just ping pongs back and forth.

I mean, I'm no Billy Joel. The guy's a genius. And he is a gift. and that song is a gift the way he did that without google by the way but we could do that today with all of the bullshit controversies and non-traversies and suppose that you know battles they're all bullshit we have lost sense of right and wrong and i'm telling you you want maga to disappear and be replaced by something better stick to what matters to the majority and get back to right and wrong, okay?

Epstein talking to Plaskett during a hearing is fucking wrong, and you know it. And protecting her from scrutiny by saying, well, we'll do the same thing to Corey Mills is wrong. Stolen valor, which is the allegation against Corey Mills, is wrong. And Republicans who backed away from going after Stacey Plaskett for talking to Epstein during a hearing,

they are wrong. And they're just playing to advantage and how to avoid the loss and how to stay whatever in their mind, I guess, competitive. Good for Nancy Mace, good for Annapolina Luna. Good for the handful of people on the right saying, fuck it, let Corey Mills go down, man. He's the one who lied about his bronze star.

And I got to tell you, I believe in Governor West more as a leader. I think he's one of the Democrats best, but he better not lose sight of right and wrong. Okay? If his resume from his military experience is exaggerated, he should own it instead of doing what his consultants have told him to do, which he's been doing and has been okay because the Democrats are letting him get away with it, which is what? I just want to say that I'm very proud of my service to this country and I stand by what I did for this country. I stand by what I did for this country and that's all I want to say. No, no, we're talking about this one aspect of your resume that seems to have been exaggerated. I just want to say, I stand by, why? Because apologies

get you killed. That's why. Why? Because we're not about right and wrong. We're about right versus left. Apologies are only when you respect right and wrong. Why? Because an apology is showing that you respect right and wrong. I did wrong. I'm sorry. When I put out that video saying, boy I'll tell you life teaches you that the lessons come from when you're wrong that's when you learn that's when you have a chance to improve and it went viral why did it go viral not for the right reason not for people saying yeah Cuomo's right man I've learned that same shit it's the mistakes you make in life that give you an opportunity to grow it's failure that is life's greatest teacher not success you'll remember your big failures your big

successes, maybe, maybe, but in the eternal quest for more, you're always looking for the next one. Why did it go viral? Cuomo admitted he was wrong by fill in the blank of shit I never even said. He was wrong about COVID. He was wrong about Trump. He was wrong about this one. He was wrong about that. All of the things that suit their agendas as a gotcha. They didn't even understand that they were making my point, that they're not about right and wrong. They're just about fucking advantage. It went viral for all the wrong. reasons because we're not about right and wrong. We're all about we are closer to right because they are wrong and if they're wrong that makes us closer to right than they are no matter what

we're about. That's not how life works and it's not how our politics should work but it is and we're living it right now with Epstein. We're living it right now and I know that eight out of 10 of you are saying fucking both sides Cuomo man he doesn't see that Trump is just a Nazi devil pitophile and some of you are like um oh man you know I really thought Cuomo was starting to get it for a second and he was being fair to Trump and seeing that the left is just a bunch of uh you know commie socialist uh amoral asshole whatever whatever you guys convinced convince yourselves of. That's all you want to hear, man. I'm telling you right now, I say, hey, good for Trump doing X, Y, or Z.

Maga, you're Maga. He's a Nazi. Now you're a Nazi sympathizer. The fuck is wrong with you. Serious? That's how perverse it's become. That if I say, I got to tell you, man, Newsom is on to something with this Prop 50. That was the right move. He really galvanized You are a far-left radical. You're embracing Newsom. He caused the fires. You guys are all hysteria and tear down an existential threat at all times. The Jews control the media.

Israel controls our policy. Hey, did you hear that care? The supposed Muslim, not Islamist, but just Muslim advocacy group, we're paying people to go out on campuses and do anti-Semitic propaganda? Oh, no, I didn't hear anything. I don't know if that's really true and I think they're kind of misunderstood.

Oh, but you want to bash the Jews, that's okay. But you don't want to own your own side. You never own your own fucking side because you're not about right and wrong. You're about advantage of right versus left and that's it. And I see it in the media, of course. But they're just a mirror. the reason guys I used to work with and people you should have never heard of have

followings is because they play into this it's not because they've given you wisdom it's not because these hack fucking comedians have become proxies for philosophers and political pundits why because everything has gotten so debased so cheap so hollow so one-dimensional and i'm not talking about a george carlin or a lenny bruce or a real observational genius Even Chappelle from time to time, Bill Maher, I believe, is top of class these days where they use comedy to get us to laugh at ourselves of the absurdities of our society.

That's not who these new generation of hacks are talking about the Middle East and, you know, health care, all this shit they don't know anything about. Because it's a joke. That's why comedians now have this kind of platform. Because our social policy, our understanding, our discourse has become a fucking joke. So, of course, a second-rate comedian is going to get an audience because there's no standard

because we're not about what matters. We're not about right and wrong. And that's why social media has exploded this. Why? Because within the democratization of media, it has allowed us to lower the standard of who should be platformed, of what should be platformed. You want to get a following on social media. Here's what you do.

I want this video to go viral. Here's what I do. Ready? take one I think Epstein is going to bring down Trump it's in there he obviously had something to do with these underage girls

it's the only thing that makes sense and yeah I don't know why he hired cash oh no no he hired Cash Patel and Dan Bongino as a cover as a ruse and he told Pambani not to release anything why because he's a pedophile and he's always been pedophile

that's why he called that woman a pig the other day and that's why it was a female journalist when he told ABC should lose their license. He's a woman because he's a misogynist and a pig and a pedophile. And it's all going to come out in Epstein. And I have sources that tell me that that's what he's running from. He's running from that they have videos of him. And maybe that Russia has it. And did you see that Epstein's brother, that blowjob thing? I mean, it's all there. This is it. This is it. It's coming down. Maga's done. The spell's going to be broken. That's going viral. Now, by the way, it may go viral anyway because

people are going to clip it as if I'm being serious about that. I don't have any reason to know any of those things. Except him calling the reporter a pig, which MAGA doesn't give a fuck about. And even the left is pretty quiet about it. And everybody uses their coded language, like what we're seeing from the left in and around Chicago, with a group of young kids following and assaulting as a mob, a mother and two young kids. This is unacceptable. This is something that we can't accept.

anytime somebody tells you something is unacceptable, they don't give a fuck about it. I'm telling you, it's code. I'm telling you, it's a code word unacceptable. Unacceptable means I just, I have to say this. I have to say this, but this is not what I care about. That's what unacceptable means. What Trump said to that reporter, that's unacceptable.

It's unacceptable. That is a righty talking about it. A lefty's going to say he has debased the presidency. say he should resign tomorrow. Unless it was one of theirs. Now, do people on the left say shit like Trump does? That's a tough matchup, in my opinion. Trump abuses decency and candor all the time.

Why? Because he knows that right and wrong don't mean shit in politics anymore. This guy says he was going to lower the cost of living. He then puts tariffs everywhere, which any economist will tell you is a tax on consumers. You want him to get the Nobel Peace Prize. He's got fucking Venezuela surrounded. Can you imagine if Biden had surrounded Venezuela with ships and was talking about military plans?

And nobody's fucking talking about it. We're talking about Epstein. The guy's dead. The survivors had their gazillion dollar fund. They've made their lawsuits. The prosecution was done. But we're so desperate for right and wrong. we're so desperate for things in our politics and our government

to start resembling what we think should be happening again that we're clinging to this in my opinion the false hope that there will be justice that it wasn't just Epstein and one woman, Galane Maxwell. The only woman to go down in something that obviously and exclusively served male interests was a woman.

Now, I'm not saying Gleine Maxwell didn't do anything wrong. She definitely did. And I wouldn't be surprised if she was cohabitating the same circle of hell as her ex-boyfriend. But it can't be just her. She can't be the only one that knew and could have done something to stop it. And that is what right and wrong tells you. I'm just saying these fuckers now who pretend they're about that, they're not about that. They're just about the advantage.

Support for the Chris Coolellan. one more project comes from Bub's Naturals. Now, let me tell you why I dig Bub's, not just because I like the name, Bub, but because Bub's Naturals is about giving your body what it needs and it doesn't make as much when you get older. Okay? Aging sucks. It just does. People will try to sell it to you different ways. I say, no, I say it's something to fight against, though. And one of the key ways to do it that science has delivered to us is peptides. Peptides are what? They are small-link amino acid chains, okay?

They're not full proteins, but they go into making proteins, and they are messengers in the body. And Bubbs has seized on the need for peptides to help us get and keep what we are not making for ourselves the same way anymore. How? Their natural's collagen peptides, okay? help you keep your levels of production of what helps your skin, your biome, your gut, your muscles, being fed what they need hormonally to stay the way you want them to be.

Okay, that's where bubs, naturals, collagen peptides come in. They restore collagen levels closer to what your body naturally had in its youth. And what is collagen for? Well, it's not just to be shot in your lips. It's your skin, your hair, you know, all of the things that go into appearance. And, you know, on a deeper level, joint pain. Collagen is one of the things that keeps our joints properly lubricated and getting what they need. Now, the problem with peptides is, well, what else?

Are they quality and what else? Bubbs is different than other collagen products. No junk. No sugars, sweeteners, fillers, third-party tested. NSF certified for sport, okay? Whole 30 approved. Look those things up. You'll see they matter.

Live better, longer for a limited time only. My listeners get 20% off at Bubbs Naturals by using the code Cuomo at checkout. Bugs, B-U-B-S-Naturals.com. Use the code Cuomo, and you're all set. Now, they're going to ask you where you heard about them. Please show me some love and tell them, hey, Cuomo sent me. At Capital One, we're more than just a credit card company. We're people just like you who believe in the power of yes.

Yes to new opportunities. Yes to second chances. Yes to a fresh start. That's why we've helped over 4 million Canadians get access to a credit card because at Capital One, we say yes, so you don't have to hear another no. What will you do with your yes? Get the yes you've been waiting for at Capital One.ca slash yes. Terms and conditions apply.

Look, I respect some of these people, but I don't respect the play, man. Stop telling me this is about the survivors, and this is a win for the survivors. You were nowhere for the survivors for the last 10, 12 years. Well, Trump should meet with the survivors and he should sign them. When did you meet with them? I bet you anything if they're on the left, it's only recent. these people have been in power two three four elections just now they meet with the survivors why to cover their ass on why they want the Epstein disclosure and defane righteousness to feign moral high ground they're just about advantage and that is the root of all of it that is the root of all of it you chase after Biden about pardoning his son and you don't give a fuck that Trump just part pardoned a Chinese guy who made his two sons tens of millions of dollars right before the

pardon. You give a shit about, you know, how people are treated by the police. And then you see a pack of kids beat this shit out of a mother and two young kids and you're quiet. They're black kids mostly. It's inner Chicago and we got to stick with, you know, that it's not their fault. It's about economics and it's about policing and it's about our society has denied them and you well what that would happen with those kids is unacceptable uh what happened with biden was unacceptable uh you know what happened with the chinese pardon uh that's that should be reviewed all this milk toast bullshit language you save your outrage for the other side you're never outraged by your own because you're not about right and wrong you're bullshit and you got to see that and you can't

got to stop rewarding it and you've got to remember that you don't allow that anywhere else in your life no way this double standard it's killing us it's at the root of everything so you shut down the government tens of millions of people suffer but you do it because of the righteous fight to deal with the suffocating costs of health care and health insurance in this country I don't know about you But my auto insurance is going up My homeowner insurance is going up And my health care

My health insurance is going up And you say that hey man This fight is worth it And you were right And then you end the shutdown You blame the people for ending it Because they caved Because you wanted a better deal

But you're not working on a deal And instead you pivot right to Epstein How the fuck is that okay? with any of you people. This was worth punishing tens of millions of people for weeks, but you pivot to Epstein. Oh, they could do two things at once. What are they doing on health care right now?

Not a fucking thing. You vote for MAGA because you say you want the law enforced. You then have ice running around, grabbing citizens, knocking women on the ground, creating scenes and disturbances all over the country. That's what you voted

for. No, you know it's fucking wrong. You know it's over. you know how ICE is being told to do the job is wrong and then you want to blame the officers and start acting out against them it's the fucking policy directives it's how they're being told to do it oh well they should quit oh please please that's like the left now saying to the military don't follow illegal orders you're going to put it on the troops you haven't said shit about what's happening around Venezuela. There are no hearings. There's no outrage. You care more about Epstein than a president surrounding a country for not telling anybody anything. Blowing up boats? Oh,

they're drug runners. How the fuck do we know? How the fuck do we know? Oh, ICE is only arresting bad hombres and criminal. How the fuck do we know? Get back to right versus wrong. If you care about care talk about health care but we're not in power we're not in power only they're in power then why don't you fucking quit then if you're not going to do anything if you're not going to put forward better ideas look if that's all our politics has become is that one side wins and the other side waits and opposes and tries to slow them down then get rid of the filibuster in the Senate. Fuck it. If you want to be about right and wrong that way, fine. Get rid of the filibuster. And let's be 50 plus one about everything. And if you get a little bit of an

advantage, you can pass the most obnoxious extreme shit that can change the complexion of this entire country in the fates of millions. If that's how you see it, we'll just wait to the midterms. Because I'll tell you what wins in the midterms. The midterms are going to be about affordability. And you have two extreme versions. Everything's extreme. Why? Because it's all about advantage. Look, reasonableness will always lose to radicalism in terms of rhetoric. And not because it's alliterative. It will always happen. Why? Because it sounds better. My brother's election, there's a right way to do it. You have to be measured about it. You've got to work with the other side. This is how you bring costs down. You've got to deal with the regulation so you can open up building

again you've got a lot of excess capacity actually it's not that we have a shortage is that we're not building enough and a lot of these buildings have been priced out you've got to deal with those things incremental boring free shit ah that's exciting look and i don't blame the guy for saying what it takes to win i didn't even want my brother to run why because this is a shit show and he's an operator he's somebody who goes into the system as it exists and makes it work it's not with sexy right now. People are pissed. They want extreme things when they're pissed. Just think about it. You're married to the woman. Your sister is the woman and the two kids who just got beat up. They come home. Who do you want to be? The one who says, oh, well, I should go and talk

to the school and see what we can do about this. Versus people flying out of the house to find those kids, find their parents and have a fucking reckoning. That's right and wrong. what would you do if one of your kids were part of that fucking gang that, you know, or pack, right? They're too young to be in a gang, frankly.

Are this pack of kids that went and hit a mom and two young kids. What would you do if that was your kid? Man, you would not be hearing about this mom and like, I'm having the mom, I'm having her kids, I'm having the one lawmaker who wants to go after his own community for this. I want to see those parents

fucking holding that kid like this and saying this kid will never be part of that again but that's not what we're about we're about blaming the other side focusing on what's wrong with the other side and never policing your own and that's why nothing gets better everything's about which side is worse

and it's this reductive race to the bottom and you don't even want to hear it You want to hear why Trump is a pito or a Nazi or a felon or whatever and you have no appetite for the left falling down on its own promises, focusing on its own radical ways to try to match MAGA. You don't want to hear it. And if you're on the right, forget it. You will never be able to have a character count standard again. With all of this completely turning your head on Trump, he calls females disson. disgusting fucking things that you would punch someone in the face for saying about your daughter

or your wife or your sister. If he called my wife a pig, I would punch him in the face. And I'd get arrested and I get prosecuted and it would be a federal crime. But fuck it. Why? Because it's right and wrong. You beat up my wife and my kid. I'm coming for you. Oh, well, that's not who we are. The fuck it's not who we are. are we're worse than that we're worse than that standing up for your family that's not what we do we stand up for mere fucking advantage and we don't care what it does to families you're listening to people on social media who stoke your outrage and don't you ever notice that it's always about the other side never how they're pissed off about your side and how you have to be better doesn't that hit you at

some point and you wonder why there's so much false hope and so much hype. Why they keep promising you this is the time. Trump's going down for this. Trump's going down for this. Trump's going down for this. Only to break your heart every time. Why? Because they're just about playing you for clicks about something that they could never deliver. But they just stick with what's easy. Easy is Trump sucks. Hard is, here's how we do better for people than Trump can. Oh, no, we're not in power. Oh, during Biden, there was an investigation. It's a lie. It's a lie. And MAGA doesn't even have a health care.

They don't even need an idea. All they have to do is just match outrage over the problem. They don't even have a solution. They just say the ACA sucks. Obamacare sucks. That's it. He doesn't even have a plan because he doesn't need one. He'll distract you with something else.

It'll play to outrage. Look at it. Look at where we are. The left shut down the government. Why? Because subsidies for the ACA matter. Taking those away to help finance tax cuts that go mostly to the top is wrong. They're right. Now you're doing Epstein. Now you're doing Epstein.

You ask me about anything, I'll give you a fucking straight take.

On anything, on any issue. Okay? Epstein, release the files. Who do they hurt? I don't know. Probably a bunch of people you don't even know. Do I think there's a big boogeyman in there? Fuck, no, there's no big boogeyman.

Why? Because there's been too much time and opportunity to do something about it. And unless you want to believe in this conspiracy of they're all, it's the uniparty, they're all related. that's bullshit okay you don't think if Trump's people could pull shit out of that file to go after people on the left they would have done it by now

you don't think that the Biden administration would have oh no because he would have never weaponized the DOJ oh bullshit please they all do what's good for them how can you say that when they impeached Trump twice on nothing and yes They promised us it was something.

I believed it. Why? Because I'd never seen anything like that before. But we keep being disappointed because they keep lowering the bar because we keep allowing it because we keep moving away from right and wrong in favor of advantage of right versus left. I hear people say it all the time. Look, I don't give a shit what it is. I just need to stop blah, blah, blah.

That's the hype. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how to make it more clear to you. I just feel that you got to start looking at everything that said to you through the lens of, is this person trying to tell me how something gets better or just why it's worse than I thought it was? Are they just trying to tell me what's wrong? Are they trying to show me what's right? Do they have a solution?

And look, you guys put that on me. You say, well, what's your solution? for something. I'm a fucking journalist. I'm an analyst. I'm a commentator. I'm not elected to office. I would never run for office. I'm not a leader. I'm here to test leaders, to test their ideas. You've got to be special to have that kind of conviction and to go in there into this shit show and try to get something done. That's not me. I'm not calling myself something that I'm not. but why do you think we're talking about Epstein right now because they care about the survivors now

20 years later they care and this was just never a topic before except for MAGA during the election when it was supposed to be an extension of fucking pizza gate now the left cares now they're saying oh the survivors got a victory don't you see it's not about right and wrong it's about

advantage of right versus left And who can make the other look worse? Until you identify that and reject it and refuse it. Look, mark my words, okay? This group of kids, thank God they're little kids. If they were teenagers, this would become the latest round of which side has worse people. I'm telling you, that's what it would be. I could do a whole Billy Joel

we didn't start the fire. BLM January 6th. This impeachment of Trump going after Biden. You know, it just keeps going back and forth of one side trying to outdo the other. But yeah, but they're worse. Yeah, but they're worse.

And you keep allowing it. And we keep voting on that basis. And we keep getting worse results. And you're making people rich and you're getting them followings and there's all this false prophets the left has to be muscular and I don't think that

saying that there should be no Israel makes you anti-Semitic and I think it's okay if Muslims you know people are hiding behind Islam when they're really Islamists and extremists I think it's okay things cost too much but you know what it's really their fault

that it costs too much And this is why you wouldn't do it anywhere else in your life. Why are you allowing it in your politics? Why are you allowing yourself to be played this way? I don't get it. Actually, I do. What's the alternative? What's the alternative?

You got two choices. You got to go with one of them. And it makes me sick. it is so wrong we got to get past right and left we've got to get back to right and wrong and i do see a little glimmer of hope i see a little glimmer of hope and these people going out and saying what plaskett did is wrong i don't care if that means corey mills gets censored too i mean what's a sensor anyway that tells you how fucked up this all is all being censored is as you get called into the well of the house and they say that's all censored is plaskett you should

have talked to a serial pedophile in when you were getting questions to ask people. Corey Mills, you shouldn't have said you had a bronze store when you don't. Not even that. That's what they're going to swallow their convictions for. That's how petty the R-Side versus theirs has gotten. Yes, that's the truth. What are you going to do about it? I'm Chris Cuomo. Thank you for joining me here at the Chris Cuomo Project. It's easy to be

outraged and you should be, but what are you going to do with it and about it? You know what is right and what is wrong. Make choices that force the system to be that too.
