The Chris Cuomo Project

Todd Lyons (former Acting Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, controversial enforcement tactics, and growing concerns about accountability within the agency. Cuomo presses Lyons about the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, questioning why the public still hasn’t received clear answers about the investigations and whether the lack of transparency is fueling suspicions of a cover-up. Lyons explains what he knows about the cases, acknowledges problems with accountability and body cameras, and defends the challenges facing immigration enforcement officers. Cuomo and Lyons also examine ICE’s hiring and training practices, allegations of excessive force, detention conditions, and the political battle over sanctuary cities. Cuomo challenges Lyons on whether President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and enforcement priorities have fundamentally changed the agency, while Lyons argues that political polarization and hostility toward officers have contributed to the crisis.

Thomas Massie, examining allegations involving the war in Iran, civilian casualties, military strikes on suspected drug boats, and other controversial Pentagon actions. Cuomo explains the constitutional arguments behind the impeachment effort, the procedural options available to House Republicans, and why even a handful of GOP defections could put Hegseth in serious political jeopardy. But the bigger question may be what President Donald Trump does next. Cuomo argues that removing Hegseth could be Trump’s smartest political move before Democrats take control of Congress, potentially sparing his administration a prolonged impeachment fight. He examines whether Speaker Mike Johnson can stall the resolution, how Hegseth might defend himself, and why Massie’s unexpected challenge could force Trump’s hand.

Joe Spector (Founder and CEO, Dutch Vet) joins Chris Cuomo to examine why healthcare has become so expensive for Americans and their pets—and what both systems reveal about the cost of getting medical treatment. Spector explains how insurance, prescription drug pricing, financial incentives, and a lack of transparency drive up costs, while discussing why millions of pet owners delay veterinary care because they can’t afford it. Drawing on his experience building human and veterinary healthcare companies, Spector explores how telemedicine, technology, and greater access to affordable treatment could help change the way people and their pets receive care.
