The Chris Cuomo Project - Trump Shares Obscene Video, Luxury Fast Food & Pope’s Homophobic Slur: Controversy or Nontroversy?

Episode Date: May 30, 2024

Chris Cuomo separates “nontroversies” from real controversies in some of this week’s headline-grabbing news stories, including Donald Trump sharing a video of a supporter obscenely heckling Joe Scarborough, a new survey revealing that 78% of Americans now consider fast food to be a luxury due to soaring prices, and Pope Francis’ apology for allegedly using a homophobic slur during a discussion about gay men and the Catholic Church.

What is worth the hype and the scrutiny? What is not? Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from AG1. Look if you've been listening to me, you've been hearing me talk about AG1. I've been taking it for years because I'm one and done. It's a scoop in the morning, warm water, and that's it. No more pills with what pills at what time and what amounts. No more of that. AG1 does the thinking for you, okay? And it has made a difference for me.

It's helped me get my health and my baseline as seen in my blood tests where I need it to be. That's because AG1 is a foundational nutrition supplement that supports universal body needs. That's gut optimization, stress management, and of course, immune support. Now this has been going on since 2010. AG1 has been a leader when it comes to foundational nutrition. They've been refining their formula.

Science, they do the science so that you don't have to try to make it up on your own, and that is produce a smarter, better product that helps elevate baseline health. I recommend AG1 to family and friends and strangers all the time. Go to drinkag1.com slash CCP for Chris Cuomo project, drinkag1.com slash CCP.

Check it out. For this I enlist the one and only, the redoubtable, the daddy in a good way, Gregory Ott. Here he is. Now a father. Looks different. He's got that pained look of needing to save. He's got the 529 blues. That's college savings.

Oh yes. You better get on it. I need to set one of those up. I'm confused by the tax implications. There's like a New York one. No, no, but there's like, New York is like set up hours, but you can use this in any state, but I don't understand any of the benefits. Yes.

Certain states allow you to use different plans. Some make you use their own plan. New York used to be very rigid, but they're starting to be a little bit looser about it. The upside is that it grows tax-free and it is fine. It is a little scary though, that you gotta wait for the baby to live 30 days before they let you set it up, which is like a-

What? Yeah. Really? Isn't that spooky? I haven't even tried the application yet. Cause I was intimidated by the number. When you go through it though, it makes you feel good because you'll never feel as good about saving as you do when you're doing it for your kid's education.

Well, aren't you all always advocating like you don't necessarily have to go to college, like you should go to a trade school or something else. Isn't that becoming more true all the time? Unless your kid is a STEM kid or they want to be a professional and they want to be an academic or they want to be, you know, a professional and they want to be an academic or they want to be a lawyer or a doctor. As of right now, she's more of a throw up and shit kid. That's exactly right. So let's say she goes into plumbing, seeing how she's doing good

at wrecking it. And she starts her own business. That's not about college. It's about trade school and apprenticeship and knowing how to run a business. And someday she'll be richer than a lot of kids that have a before-you degree. Well, she'll be richer than most kids because her parents love her very much. Her name is Margo and she is named after my grandmother. And we have a SNU, so like rocks her to sleep every night. It's very useful. If you don't have a SNU, it's very expensive

and it is worth your time and money. I want you to know, I appreciate you being a new parent so much, I'm not gonna slap you for using the word snooze I didn't come up with that word some dr. Harvey carp did over the happiest baby people. It's a violation $1,600 passing that it's a violation of man law and everybody knows we got it for Black Friday You can only use the word snooze if you're talking about dr. Seuss. All right controversy non-traversy. What's your first one? Oh, let's see how you are as a dad. Oh yeah, well, this has, I hope I'm not this kind of a dad. This is a story that kind of unfolded

over the past few weeks, because you know, the Memorial Day holiday and such. I'm sure you've already covered this, but Trump's ugly hateful attacks on media suddenly take a dangerous turn. This is a new video that just got released on social media, Truth Social Media, and I'm gonna have you watch this on my phone.

This is from Truth Social, he posted this just recently. I can't wait for Uncle Donnie to win. I can't wait. He'll get rid of all you fucking liberals. Your liberals are gone when he fucking wins. You fucking blowjob liberals are done. Uncle Donnie's gonna take this election landslide, cuz. Landslide, you fucking half a blowjob.

Half a landslide. Get the fuck out of here, you stumbag. Okay, so those fucking half a blowjob liberals he's talking about, it would be Joe Scarborough at like the airport or something. There's a video... Joe Scarborough. Yes. Former Republican member of Congress. Joe Scarborough.

Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough, you want to talk about blowjobs, who gave the best treatment to Donald Trump. I thought you were gonna say gave the best. Easy. Of any of us during the election. He had video with him and Trump and Mika, who at the time he wasn't with, who's now

his wife, saying what questions they should ask in break and what would make them all look good. And nobody gave a damn because they were entertained by it. And I'll tell you why else. Because a lot of the same Acela corridor, big shot journalists, capital J journalists, high priests of the trade, wouldn't say shit because they wanted to be on Joe's show. And they just let it go.

And I was working against them at the time at CNN in the morning and I wanted to have beaten Joe Scarborough twice. And I'll tell you why. Because we did not give Trump a pass the way he did. So for him now to be Trump's enemy is bullshit. Now this tactic by Trump, this is a legit controversy. Okay, so the tactic being posting incendiary videos like this.

Yeah, you're encouraging people to want to hurt people. You're encouraging, you'd think after January 6th, this guy would learn his lesson, but you're assuming that Trump doesn't like this lesson. He does like it. He likes to be a bully. He likes to be a bully. He likes to be a tough guy. I don't know how he ever was with his hands,

but I know he used them. And for him to have people be abusive and nasty like that, it's all just win, baby. Just win. And you know what? Kudos to Scarborough for how he handled it with the fake I'm on the phone thing. And just the long way.

Do you think that was funny? You think he wasn't actually on the phone thing. And just, you think that was funny. You think he wasn't actually on the phone, but it doesn't matter. And what does matter is it's not easy to do that. Now, you know, this guy's being a jerk, you know, he's being a jerk off for profit, right? The guy who's running his mouth. But I got to tell you, I'm with my kids or something like that. You know, why don't I run for office?

A million reasons. One of them, we can do a lot better than me. Two, I may smack a fucking guy like that at some point. Because to me, I believe we've lost sense of decorum. You're saying, oh, you're gonna smack somebody and you're talking about loss of decorum. Violence has its place. Violence has its place, okay? Don't flatter yourself with how sophisticated

and civilized you think we are. We're not. And at some point, somebody's got to learn a lesson. And maybe you get arrested. Maybe I get arrested. Let me tell you something. I got in trouble for that Fredo thing because I didn't hit them.

This was the video that came out about a year ago. They stopped my nine-year-old daughter and said, hey, your dad's Fredo, do you know that? Can we take a picture with him? I should have put my fist through that guy's face. It would have been worth it. And I would have gotten the same amount of adjuda anyway. But at least it would have set that line

that at a certain point you're gonna pay for it in a way that goes beyond your social media following. I think Trump's gotta be careful with this bullshit. I think it's a big reason people don't wanna vote for him. That they think he's a thug and he's a mutt, as De Niro would say, and he's low rent. And that's a low rent tactic. There's a great way to achieve the same end, which is to say that the media is not fair to Donald Trump, if that's the argument you want to make, by showing how they've exaggerated things before. But when you make it low rent, that's how you're

seen. That's what he is. He's just like the guy in the video. Because I'm showing you this one because that kind of ties into what he posted the other day about the the Unified Reich thing. He didn't post that. Right. It was a non-traversy. Well, that's what I want to get to because the Trump

campaign, a video posted to Donald Trump's account on a social media network included references to a unified Reich among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November. But that was later clarified by CNN here. Trump's unified Reich video appears to trace origins to a Turkish graphic designer. Well, first of all, CNN was one of the first to blow it up. Okay. And now they have the opportunity to ride the wave both days. It should have never, the reason I say it's a non-traversy, not referring to a new Reich,

that would not be a non-traversy. It would be a controversy because that would be really fucked up. But that's not what happened. This was stock video footage that somebody used who doesn't work at the campaign and they just used it for this video. And it's so small and in the corner that you really had to look to even see it. I can't believe people did see it, to be honest.

Well, we use a lot of stock video here for this show. And so we have access to all this stuff. I'm very careful with the B-roll and the footage that we pull. It's from World War I, World War II. That's where the footage comes from. It's supposed to look like, you know, the antique footage, which is what it is. But Trump didn't know. And this Trump is a Nazi thing is bullshit.

You know, the truth is enough. The truth is enough. You don't have to make him into a boogeyman using false allegations. Now you're playing his game. You ever hear the expression, you get down in the mud with a pig, you're going to get filthy and the pig's going to like it? That's what you're setting yourself up for. You're becoming what you oppose and you're thinking that this is what you got to do to win and it's wrong. You got to show that you're better and don't play Trump's game because he's not about better. He's about saying

that you're worse. Did you know that some people have called human meat long pig? Like if you were to cook a human- What? Some cannibals who have eaten humans have referred to human meat as long pig because it kind of tastes like pork, like a long pig. So if you're cooking a person, you're-

Where's the long part? Oh, you mean, cause you're long? Yeah, it's like I'm tall, my body is longer than that of a pig. I would not believe that. I believe you that there's some bullshit speculation about that, but I'm saying- It's from some like some 1800s newspaper article.

I'll find a link to it. Oh, that? Oh, maybe back in the day. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying, well, I'm not saying people are eating people on the street these days. Well, you kind of sounded like that. Well, I mean, it's like those videos.

What was it like the people being barbecued or whatever, but it was just like stock footage from some theme park or whatever. I don't think we would taste good. Well, I mean, I'm not offering up my stuff. What makes meat taste good is the interstitial fat. What about the seasoning and all the, you know, the tramans. But I'm saying that even though

we're not in great shape, you'd have to find an obese person because you wouldn't have the interstitial fat otherwise, and it's not gonna taste as good. You know, I really- Oh, and also eating humans is also wrong. Well, in your estimation. From like a moral perspective, perhaps.

Not just that we wouldn't taste good. It's also wrong. Well, here's the thing. I mean, look at all the factory farming we have. You have all these, so many chickens and these terrible coops and stuff. Look at how many people there are. You know what I mean?

Like, would it really be that terrible to eat us? Yeah. You know, look, we've come up with worse solutions. Yeah. You know, I mean, we're poisoning ourselves 10 different ways from Sunday. At least we'd be, you know, eating it as a more honest approach to dealing with it.

I also think that, you know, you raise a good issue. Thank you. I'm trying to bring more attention to cannibalism. Now that he's a dad, he's talking about eating people. That's weird. I'm not getting enough sleep. It's that extension of the tiger eating their young thing. He's just taking it in a different direction.

I'm not gonna eat my daughter. Yeah, don't do that. I'm not, not yet. I mean, not yet. I just taking it in a different direction. I'm not gonna eat my daughter. What? Yeah, don't do that. I'm not, not yet. I mean, not yet. I love you very much, Margo. You're not gonna. You're not food.

You'll never see this. Margo. You told me you won't even be around me. You're not food. No. Okay. Know that about yourself. Have pride. I'll tell you what though. It does make us think a little bit

about how we do get our food. And it's something I'm becoming more and more consumed with. And I'll tell you what I'm so interested in. Consumed with? Yeah, that's a pun. He made it a double entendre. I didn't meet in this one. The extent to which I will ignore my own best interests is shocking. I will eat, drink stuff that I know is shit, and often for bad reasons, just mere convenience or self-loathing or just not caring about something

that actually really matters. And it's something you've got to think about. Everybody's becoming so health conscious, but we still want it easy. You want to take an ozempic pill. When they make it into a pill right now, it's a subcutaneous shot, but you want to take ozempic, but you don't want to take care of yourself in terms of what you eat. That's how fucked up our priorities are. Next is actually, I was not going to use this story next, but it's a perfect segue.

There is a new survey put out by some loan company, but the top line of this is nearly 80% of Americans say fast food is now a luxury because it's become so expensive. And the findings of this thing, it goes on, Americans love fast food, but costs are forcing them to curb their cravings. Three and four Americans typically eat fast food at least once a week, but the majority, 62%, say they're eating less of it due to rising prices. Are burgers the new Birkins? 78% of consumers view fast food as a luxury because it's increasingly expensive. Good. Controversy or non-troversy? I say non-troversy because I'm glad it's getting expensive. I think the idea that, well, you got to keep it cheap so people can eat, it's poison.

And people don't eat the good things on the menu the way they should. Maybe if you got rid of all the stuff that was poison, now we can have a conversation about fast food, but it's poison. So the idea that you're taking it from the masses, yeah, but it's poison. It's like taking lead paint from the masses.

It's poison. Yeah, but it's their choice. I respect that. I do. I respect your right to make bad, stupid choices. I do. I mean it. I'm not being facetious.

And that's why it exists. And I'm glad that people are getting priced out of it because of the things that you can get priced out of, this is a good thing for you to be priced out of because you're much better off finding alternative value propositions for food with your money. Well, people are trying to cast blame on the Biden administration for inflation and-

Maybe. You know, all these McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's, they're all rolling out these new like $5 meals to try to like, to get business back as they're losing business. Because there's that viral picture of a receipt from a McDonald's at the interstate where it's like $20 for a Big Mac,

even though it's like, well, it's the interstate McDonald's. You know what I mean? It's like in the middle of the three way, it's like, they're gonna gouge no matter what. But the point being, they're even trying to get people to come back. It's like, no, like, they're gonna gouge no matter what. But the point being, they're even trying to get people to come back. It's like, no, no, we're cheap again, we're cheap again. But this idea of like the quick burger

being a luxury product is such a strange and pervasive thing. And you know, in a country where I feel like so much of our food is fast anyway, it's like you have so many, you cast a stone and you're gonna come across a Chipotle, you're gonna come across a Wendy's, you're gonna come across a Sweet Green, you have all these options, all these different flavors,

but the idea that like just the cheapest option is becoming unaffordable. I'm interested with that in mind about like the way, you know, McDonald's is seeing record profits, all these companies are making all this money. They always go together. Yeah. See, and people wanna ignore that.

Until then they become, see, look, everything's like this with us, pendulum, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, y ignore that until then they become, see, look, everything's like this with us. Pendulum, always too far. And the only thing that really is interesting to me about the pendulum is what is its stall rate? What is the rate and what is the reckoning of what makes it eventually lose momentum, stop and start coming the other way? That's the only part of the dynamic that's interesting to me because other than that, it's all exaggeration. And you have two issues here. You have what should you be putting in your body? That's what I was

speaking to. Now, Greg is talking about a different reality, which matters probably more to us collectively than our own health, which is the economics of convenience. The prices are higher because the corporations are making it so. Now, I'm not saying be anti-corporation. Our national religion is capitalism. That's what we are about. And I embrace it. I believe in capitalism. I believe it's better than other economic manipulation strategies for societies. I do. And that's who we are. Now, is it flawed? Of course, you pick winners and losers, you're always going to have a problem. But inflation is real. Biden has done a very poor job explaining and it's really easy to weaponize economic data because it, you know, literally it hits you in the wallet

and it hits you in terms of manifesting your dreams and your behaviors. And Americans are all about lifestyle. So it matters. But the idea that, oh wow, food prices are going up because of Biden, no. Food prices are going up because the people who are making the food are raising the prices.

I just want to point out really quick. I said something about like record profits, like McDonald's in their recent quarterly earnings, they said their first quarter same-stall stores grew 2.5% in the United States, sharply lower than a 12.6% growth from last year, below estimates of 2.55%, but it's still growing. Like it's a lower growth, but they're still growing.

That's why they're raising the prices. They're raising the prices so they can grow. And that's just how it is. And the only thing that will affect that is the demand. And I just hope demand decreases because you're killing yourself eating this shit. And I eat it a lot too. We're killing ourselves.

Who cares how cheap it is? You can live other ways. And by the way, let's be honest, if you had to eat less, you know how like the corporations are putting less water in this and charging us the same or more, you know, we should be doing the same thing with our own health. We should be eating less. Look, we have a poverty rate. We have a hunger rate in this country that is shockingly high. You would be shocked. I've always wanted to do a piece where I show all these little blonde-haired, blue-eyed,

sprawny kids desperate for food in America because I felt that it would check every box of removing bias for a big part of this audience. And holy cow, I can't believe they're hungry. I can't believe they look like that. You need to see it. But what else is true about us? We have hungry people. We have just as many and more obese people.

And you'd be okay eating less in almost every case. And if that's the trade off for not eating poison, you're better for it. Now you may say, fuck you, I wanna make that choice. You're right. And in America, you have that right, but I'll tell you who's compromising it. The corporate class.

Because they're the ones pricing you out of your own selectivity. The McRib is seasonal because it's when there's only a specific cut of pork that is available. So they're able to buy it at a really cheap price and then, you know, compress it down to what looks like a rib for the McRib sandwich. What? If you want to get a McRib, it's seasonal, not because they don't sell it year round

because they- Why? Pigs don't have a season. No, no, but like when the demand of a particular cut of pork is at its lowest is when they buy these like shavings or scrapings or whatever came out of the pig's body and they glue them together. That's why the McRib is seasonal

and comes around once in a while. That's because it is the shittiest form of the shittiest meat. It's double shit. What about like a McLong pig? I bet that, I don't know how well that would sell. A human, a real human rib. Could be good. All right. I have one more story for you.

This came out today. We're recording this on Tuesday. This is coming on Thursday. Pope apologizes after being quoted using vulgar term about gay men in talk about ban on gay priests. From the Associated Press, Pope Francis apologized Tuesday after he was quoted using a vulgar and derogatory term about gay men to reaffirm the Catholic Church's ban on gay priests. Italian media on Monday had quoted unnamed Italian bishops in reporting that Francis jokingly used the term, eFNes, and I'll let you, you'll see it on the screen, but I'm not going to say the word. While speaking in Italian during an encounter, he had used the term in reaffirming the Vatican's

ban on allowing gay men to enter seminaries and be ordained priests. He was using an Italian slang version for the word faggot and not meaning a bunch of sticks. Froscio is in southern Italian an invective for gays. Sometimes I would also call them farfalle, which is butterfly. Sometimes in Spanish you hear people refer to gays as mariposa, as butterfly. These are just all stupid ways of demonizing an other. Now, for the Pope to do this, I think is really, really interesting. And I'll tell you why.

Controversy or non-controversy? Oh, 100% controversy. Okay, good. But to me, I don't know why you're surprised. This is a man. This is a human being, which means he is flawed. And this is an ethnic man from South America, okay? It is a homophobic culture.

There are perverse notions of masculinity. Now you'd think that maybe the priesting and the poping would get it out of him, but at the end of the day, he's just a guy. And he's sitting with another bunch of guys and guess what, a lot of them are gay. And that's something that the clergy has been struggling with in the Catholic Church.

That's what they tried to do with the pedophile scandals. They tried to say it's not pedophiles, it's really aphibophilia. It's about teenagers, not younger children, and it's mostly these gay priests, so let's get rid of the gays. And then they sent around that questionnaire for priests to have to say who's gay, who isn't gay, which I thought was really bullshit. And this bias has existed for a while. And he was sitting around with a bunch of guys and he was doing what happens very often in those kinds of circles.

Doesn't matter that they're priests. At the end of the day, they're men. Men are flawed and people are weak. And this is an expression of it. Now, the question is, well, what do you do to them for it? He got out, he said he was wrong, he shouldn't have said it. Is that enough? Well, of course not. It's going to depend who you are. If he were in this country, they'd be trying to cancel his ass for it. Is that going to happen? Not a chance. Even though ironically, you know who the people are who want him out, not the liberals because he's been a gift to them in terms of, you know, relative to other popes, the conservatives. Isn't that interesting? The Orthodox Catholics are the ones that want him out. Isn't that interesting? And they are probably among the most homophobic. They are going to come after him now using this as a

pivot point, even though they don't really care what he said. Adam Lickman Where would you place Pope Frank on like the scale, like compared to previous popes, like is he more, more liberal, more conservative? Like- Absolutely. Now they put a halt to him, but he absolutely came out

as the most liberal one of my lifetime. Yeah. Oh, when he was in South America, I did a whole documentary on him. I went down to Buenos Aires, talked to his friends, went to the barrio where he lived and the deals that he cut with drug dealers to let them keep doing their business

as long as they didn't shoot up the neighborhoods. And he was very progressive. I thought he was going to be a gift to the Catholic Church. I thought he was going to bring us into the modern era. I thought he was going to empower women to be part of the clergy. And Nora O'Donnell, in the irony of ironies, does an interview with him. And he's like, do you think that young girls will be able to come in and be fully in the brand? She's like, do you think that young girls will be able to come in and be fully in the bread? No. That's it.

She just keeps going. I wish people wouldn't treat him with kick gloves like that. I wish they would respect him as a man and as a thinker and have real conversations with him and test him. He's up to it. I hate those pandering, like she's talking to God when she's talking to him. And that's not helpful. But I thought he was going to be a real gift to the church and he hasn't been in ways that

he could have been. Clergy should have the option of marrying. You'd get a whole new group of people interested in serving in an organization that is desperate for revitalization. I'm not saying you have to be married, I'm saying you'd have an option. For some people, you can't balance the exigencies and needs of a family with what you need to do

to serve your faithful. I get it, but it should be an option. Women should be fully integrated. Jesus was very, very demonstrative in his respect and value of women. Why isn't our church? So what do you say to, you know, I'm not really a big religious guy,

but like you have somebody like the Pope who is, you know, seen as an example or a, you know, a role model in sort of, you know, setting a course for people who follow him, even if you're not a believer, you know, that you're supposed to be setting a good example and still human. When you see a story like this come out in the culture right now that's very coarse,

we open with this video, this man accosting Joe Scarborough, how do you tie those two together? Like, do you see, is this just like locker room talk? This is how people are behind the scenes. This is the kind of shit they say or- This is how they are, even when they're supposed to be better. And really the function of your relative state of humanity is how do

you deal with it? How do you deal with the problem? You have the Pope, he came out, he said, it was wrong, I shouldn't have said it. Okay, it's not like this is some clue into the Catholic Church's issues with gayness, right? I mean, that's existed for a while. And in fairness to Francis, he's been way more accommodating of gay people and telling people, why are you so hung up on who's gay? Why are you so hung up on who's having an abortion or who's exercising reproductive rights? Why aren't you focused on loving mercy? Because that was Jesus' main command, to love mercy, not judge who people love. So he's been better than most. According to GotQuestions.org,

your question's biblical answers. Cannibalism is mentioned in the Bible, but there's no direct statement such as, thou shalt not eat human flesh. Yeah, that's true. So it's alluded to, but there's no like outright ban. Yeah, well, but you know, you're not supposed to, the fifth commandment is,

you're not supposed to kill people fifth commandment is you're not supposed to kill people either. And I don't know how you can eat me and not kill me. I'm sure, no way that's like a strength comment. You're saying like, well, you could probably eat most of me and I would survive. Yeah. Yeah.

But I'd be really angry. I'm really not that hungry. Thank you very much for being with us here for Controversy and Non-Troversy on The Chris Cuomo Project. Thank you for subscribing and following.
