Summary

Benny Johnson (political commentator and host, “The Benny Show”) joins Chris Cuomo for a raw and often combative conversation about politics, media, and the future of the country. From pandemic hindsight to Trump’s political legacy, Cuomo and Johnson clash over freedom, responsibility, and how America should remember its leaders. The discussion also dives into divisiveness in politics, conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the role of the media, and whether algorithms and online platforms should enforce ethical standards. Cuomo and Johnson push back against each other, but also find moments of agreement on the need for decency, accountability, and better solutions for families and communities.
