Summary

Chris Cuomo argues that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is killing the Democratic Party by pushing to impeach Trump over his Iran bombing that actually led to a ceasefire. He contends that Democrats are making the same mistake as MAGA by embracing extremism, with AOC consistently taking the losing side of every "80-20" issue: from defunding police to being too comfortable with pro-Hamas sentiment, and now trying to impeach a president for protecting Americans from extreme Islamism. Cuomo warns that the real threat facing America isn't just from foreign terrorists but from homegrown extremists of all ideologies—from the healthcare CEO killer to embassy attackers—who've been radicalized to believe violence advances their political agenda. He argues Democrats need to reject AOC's performative politics and focus on the economic issues that matter to working people, like Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," not chase impossible impeachments that make them look weak on national security.Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how the GOP budget bill's debt implications could affect American households and investment strategies.

0:00.0	For all the implications of what's happening with the regime in Iran in the Middle East,
0:04.5	there are more implications for Democrats than for almost anyone else.
0:11.0	And the danger for Democrats is so real because of one person that's about to decide the midterms and not in a good way.
0:29.2	I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. This is not going to be well met,
0:34.5	but it has to be said. Now, why am I saying something about the Democrats?
0:40.3	It's going to sound almost like an advocacy position, because if we are saddled with this bullshit two-party
0:45.9	system, you need both parties to be at their best. Because I don't believe in the two-party system.
0:53.2	I think you need more parties or you need all your primaries to be open because look, look at Congress, okay?
0:59.4	Why do you have 95 plus percent reelection rate when you have 20, you know, percent or so of trust and of approval rating?
1:09.6	How?
1:10.3	How do you have 95% plus reelection when you don't have trust and you don't have approval?
1:17.6	Parties.
1:18.6	Base.
1:19.6	That's why the primaries are everything, and that's why just pleasing the base is everything.
1:24.6	That's why you have MAGA on the right. And now the Democrats in a state
1:29.5	of desperation are going through their own populist poison period, their own MAGA. That's what's
1:37.4	happening. And that's why the Democrats stand to be the most injured by what's happening in the
1:43.7	Middle East right now.
1:44.6	And I'll explain why, but it comes down to one person who is a metaphor for the madness on the left,
1:50.6	and it is AOC.
1:52.5	Forget about the fact that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's all show no-go.
1:58.4	Okay?
