Summary

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.

0:00.0	You know, there's something behind all of the big events that is the key to what is killing us.
0:06.8	If you look behind Epstein, if you look behind the disintegration of MAGA, if you look behind the new left,
0:15.0	if you look at behind what's happening with the pardons, with the tariffs, with health care, with affordability.
0:22.9	There is something going on that is rotting us
0:26.9	from the inside out, that is making progress almost impossible.
0:33.1	The question is, what will you do about it?
0:37.4	And I will point it out to you. And once you see it,
0:40.1	you'll see it everywhere. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. What do you see
0:53.1	in Epstein and the near unanimous vote? I'll tell you what I
0:56.9	see is that left and right have become convinced that they're going to lose on this unless they get
1:04.3	on top of it. But more importantly, what the left has figured out is what the right figured out first
1:10.3	is that you can make the other
1:11.8	side look bad with this.
1:14.5	And in that there was one vote not to release the files.
1:20.3	Now do I think we should release the files?
1:22.2	Absolutely.
