And we're live from the living room as Doug eyes up the match. Say spread. He's reaching for the buffalo wing. Perfect. Hang on, what's this? Oh, he's gone for a can of Pepsi too. Incredible. What a finish. Sensational combination. Look at the delight on his face. There's no doubt about it. It just tastes better. Match days deserve Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a pack of Pepsi. Zero sugar for today's match. It's poetry in motion.

No, it's not final. It's a memorandum understanding. And if I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. Nobody could have made this deal. I mean the JCPOA done by Obama, he handed him a billion seven in cash, gave him hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of, gave him billions and billions of dollars. But he gave him $1.7 billion in cash, green cash from banks into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. And they stood at the plane, I have pictures of it like oh my, look at this money he's giving us. He tried to bribe his way out. I didn't do that. Nobody mentions that. 1.7 billion and hundreds of millions of dollars. They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch.

Well, you've been waiting for it and now you got it. This is the biggest, the easiest to show the most impactful bullshit lie from President Donald Trump. Not just merely his description of the jcpoa, which he is nowhere near to replicating. Not only is this memorandum of understanding and this is just what they want us to see. Right is giving way more access to funds to the regime than anything the JCPOA ever contemplated, including an adjustment for inflation. Okay, because that was done in 2010. This is 15, 16 years later. Let's see if it even gets done. But now we know why there's been all this doublespeak. It's a deal. It's the best deal. It's not a deal. It's a memorandum of understanding. And there's only one group that's that tastes good, make America gullible again. The gullible mouth breathing morons that just can't be wrong. They cannot assess. Any choice they make has to be right. You have to be wrong. That group, which is less than what, less than 30% of the population, his baked in support, move them to the side. Don't go crazy about that. They are the Very few. Everybody else sees this for what it is, which is suspicious. But now if you watch this entire podcast, you will know, point for point, what this is how it is, not what we had with the jcpoa, which is why France, the uk, the EU are all concerned. Why JD Vance wants to lie about this and say the Arabs love it. The Arabs aren't even party to it. The Arabs aren't even putting up the money, according to this. I'll read you through it right now. Who gives a shit what the Muslim world has to think about this? They're not even signatories. They're not even stepping up and doing anything. Why would they capitulate to. Ah, oh, I Forgot, that's where JD's buddy raised capital. Oh, that's where Trump raises. Oh, that's where his son and. Oh, that's where his sons are all doing business with Qatar. They're going to commit a trillion dollars, their GDP isn't that every year? They're gonna commit to invest more money in the United States than they make every year. This is a bad lie, even for Trump. And now I'm gonna take you through all 14 points that they are circulating. Okay? I have talked to people who are appointees of the Trump administration, not Deep State, unless you wanna now say he's Deep State. And they are very disappointed with this. This is not what they wanted. Okay, so they're talking. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. Thank you for subscribing and following. Now let's get after it. Here's the good news for the administration. We just want out. People just want out. Just get out. You fucked it up. You shouldn't have gone in. The regime is still in place. This deal is gonna suck. It doesn't matter what the deal is, cuz they're gonna break it. And you're not gonna really be able to do anything except what you were doing already drop an arm on his head. You sound like a tough guy at a bar in Queens. Okay? The only thing you're going to drop bombs on is innocent Iranian people. All right? What you just accused Israel of. Hey, we know they're bad guys in there, but you don't blow up a whole apartment building when not everybody in there is Hezbollah. You're now saying you're gonna do the same thing in Iran. You're a fucking hypocrite. It's pathetic. Everybody sees it for what it is. And now I'm gonna take you through with notes from the people working the deal. About what every one of them actually means. Here's the first thing they want you to know. Okay? Yes, this is a memorandum of understanding. Meaning what? Meaning it's okay. How they describe this is it's not a treaty, it's not a deal, it's not a plan. What this is is just a pause. It's just a ceasefire. It's just a let's just stop with the war mode and let's get back to what normal will be. That's all this is. And by the way, that's enough for us. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. I just want them out. I just want my troops out of harm's way. I want to focus back on what's happening in this country. Okay? So the bar couldn't be any lower for Trump. We know he fucked it up and we know that doesn't move the needle. You expected him to fuck it up. The only people I blame for the fuck up is Congress. Cuz they knew he was going to fuck it up. And they should have taken back their constitutional duty, their duty as a check, their duty to declare war. Their duty under the War Powers Act. And they should have cut him off at 60 days and he should have asked them to do it so he could have had an escape hatch. That is less embarrassing than this. But this, first of all being called a deal is bullshit. It's not a deal and it is completely lopsided. This is why they've been cagey, this is why they didn't want to put it out, because they're embarrassed by this. And that comes from the people working the deal. Okay, so point one, permanent end to hostilities. Immediate and permanent end to the war. Non aggression commitments. Applies on all fronts, including Lebanon. Now that's a little tricky. We're going to see now if Trump has control over Bibi Netanyahu. The way he says, I've said this from the beginning. You know where I am. If you listen to my podcast, if you listen to anything I put out, you know, I believe in the existence of Israel, in its right to defend itself and that it is under existential threat from these crazy ass Islamists. Okay? Now do they go too far? Do they do too much? That's all arguable, all right? I'm not insulating them from criticism. I don't do that. I've criticized them myself. Not going to criticize them after going after the people who committed October 7th. Because I'd be a hypocrite. Because I had no problem going after the People that did us dirty after 9, 11, we went into the wrong country and after the wrong people and killed 10, 15, 20 times as many. Okay. In the same amount of time, by the way. So let's put that all to the side. Will Trump be able to control Bibi? He says he can. We'll see. Okay, now here's the big problem. The non aggression commitment doesn't really according to this. And again, this isn't the final deal. Right? This doesn't commit the regime to make sure Hezbollah and Hamas don't do stupid shit. This has no language expressly to this point where they're gonna own that they are fucking with us through their proxies and it has to stop. And now you're definitely giving them the financial means to do more of it? Absolutely. You wanna criticize the JCPOA for that? For giving them back their own money? This one does the same damn thing. Okay? Now the JCPOA had no ceasefire provisions. Trump's pointing that out like it's a weakness. We weren't at war. He started a war of choice. So that's stupid. It's not apples to apples. Okay, so there is a new dimension here. It's a political security settlement, all right? It's really not a nuclear agreement. Why? Because there's almost nothing in here about the nukes. Oh, we promise not to have one. You know how many times the regime has said that? Do you know how many times they've kept their word? Okay, look, of I don't. I'm not going to criticize it. Because it's vague. That's one of their notes. Because, you know, it's a memo of understanding. It's going to be vague until you make the final deal. I'm not going to be unfair in the analysis. I don't have to be. The truth is enough. Okay? But I'm telling you that there's nothing in here about reforms for the people of Iran, whose back we were supposed to have. And clearly this deal, whatever you want to call it, shows that we're ready to turn our back on them. Know that. And there's nothing in there with any kind of. Hey, you better own your bullshit if you want us to tell Israel to stop. It's not in there. Point two, mutual respect for sovereignty. Again, sovereignty. This is a terroristic insurgent organization that has co opted and oppressed the Iranian people. How do you give them respect as a sovereign? Ask Mr. Trump. He's the first American president to do it. That is not what the JCPOA did The JCPOA never attempted with any language, commitment or action to normalize the broader political relationship. It was just about nukes, sanctions, and that process and the actions and the reactions required and allowed. Okay? Anyone who says differently is bullshit. I've read the JCPOA. I covered it, okay? It's not even 159 pages, by the way. It's a lot more with all the appendices. But that's, that's not the point. Apples to apples, this is an appeasement document. You just want to get out. Here's the good news. We just want you out. So you know the President's going to win for losing here, okay? So this recognizing them as a sovereign, non interference, respect for territorial integrity and they're, they're terrible. I mean, I can't, I can't believe you'd even have this language in an MoU. This is why they wouldn't read it to you for days. Now, you know, okay, point three, the 60 day negotiation framework. Look, that's, that's what it is, okay? It took months and months for Russia, China, France, the uk, America and the EU leaders with all their different contracts and commitments and relationships that they have with the regiment. It took them months to get it done. You think Trump's real estate buddy and his son in law can get it done with JD Vance in under 60 days? JD, I don't know why we're appeasing the Muslims. You think they're gonna get it done in 60 days? Here's what the 60 days is. It buys them a break, which is again good. And it gives Trump a chance to distract you from what's happening in Iran. I guarantee you he will not talk about this again after the weekend unless we force him to. Unless something happens that forces his hand, he will never fucking mention it again. Now why am I being, why am I upset? Why am I cursing? Because this is, this is insulting. And I'm tired of allowing you guys to figure out or not that you're getting played. You're getting played, okay? The G in MAGA stands for gullible. Don't be gullible, okay? Don't be so tied to your belief in what was wrong that led you to vote for Trump. Which I'm not saying you were wrong about what's wrong. I'm saying he's not gonna get it done. And what was wrong is still wrong. Even immigration, by the way, we still haven't changed the rules on asylum. We still haven't really changed the resourcing on Adjudication of who can make the determinations and when and how and what is due process and in what situation. That's what matters the most. And not just to the flow of illegal entry, but to what this country's policy is. The dreamers, they're still hung out to dry. So even that isn't fixed. Okay, now the jcpoa, I'm going to give you a point. You know, on point three now, the 60 day negotiation framework, you can't really compare that to the JCPOA, because the JCPOA was a final document.

Okay.

Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Oneskin. You like my skin? It is one of the few kinds of peptides that I believe in and that I'm using. Why? Because of my own lived experience. And part of my lived experience is living with a real life integrative nutritionist who looks up all kinds of products for her business purist. And One skin is one of the ones that she supports and believes in. Why? Because of the research, because of the science, because of their proprietary peptide. Okay. And their OS01 peptide is scientifically shown to help with senescent cells. The senescent cells are the cells that give you the wrinkles that make your forehead look like mine if you don't use Botox and all this other stuff. So I believe in all of the products. And how do I know what am I using? Well, I'm using the peptide developed serum and lotion that go along with the face skin care line that I wanted to, to try and use. Why? Because taking care of your skin matters. You don't have to wear makeup. I got to use all this harsh stuff to take it off. I don't wear makeup when I'm doing the podcast, but I wear it every night for News Nation. And it beats you up. You know, it beats up. And I don't have a really thick beard that kind of can protect my face by having the hairs, you know, filling up the follicle, you know, so to me it really matters. And also for spf, you know, I'm in the sun a lot and I got like little things growing on my face I gotta get checked. But you know, one skin helps me with protection from UV exposure, which is a major factor for me on trying to reduce the damage, you know, and again, it's not just how I feel about it. They've had thousands and thousands of five star reviews, like over 10,000, and they have four peer reviewed clinical studies that are telling from science exactly what I'm telling You, from my experience, so. Born from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin's OS01 peptide is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age. So, for a limited time, my audience will get 15% off OneSkin by using the code CUOMO. ONESKIN. CO. CUOMO. 15% off OneSkin. COOOMO. After you purchase, they're gonna ask you, where'd you hear about us? You tell them, please, Cuomo's at me.

By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious, work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today.

End of maritime blockade and restoration of shipping. Okay, here's the give. The blockade's gone. You can go wherever you want. Within 30 days, we'll be out. Because, you know, it takes time. And you can start selling oil immediately and do everything just like you could the day before the war started. Okay? Again, the JCPOA had nothing like that because there was no ongoing conflict or leverage. There was no. The regime had shut down the Strait, and now we had to deal with it. That's all this does, is terminate. What Trump gave the regime an opportunity to do. Know that. That's the truth. And remember this. What's the biggest problem with the jcpoa? The biggest problem was what? It didn't stop them from enriching uranium. Since when? From 2010, 2012, 2015? No. When the Israelis and the regime and the IAEA all agree on one thing. What is it? The regime never started enriching uranium to way above fuel grade percentages until after Trump left the jcpoa. That is a fucking fact. You tell me how you get out of that. You don't get out of it. Own it, okay? Own it. Stop lying about everything and blaming someone else for everything. Enough. Enough. Now you know, okay? Don't let anybody say differently to you. That's what all three entities agree on
D
now.
C
So we're going to give up the blockade? We're going to let them go back to business as usual. For what? Point five. Strait of Hormuz. Reopening. Iran reopens. Guarantees access. Commercial traffic restored. What about tolls? What about tariffs? Vague. Not specifically disallowed. Why? Because we don't have the leverage. And because the regime now has leverage and they don't want to give it all up.
B
Mm.
C
This is economically enormous, though. Why? Because one fifth of global traded oil and other commodities go through that strait. Now look, people are going to find alternate and develop alternate supply lines. Now that's probably a good thing because this won't be the last time. The regime is a pain in the ass. And now they know they can do that. So hopefully we will cover our asses better on this. Takes us to point 6, reconstruction and development fund. Now, I'm going to tell you right now, my opinion is that this is a lie. What I'm about to read to you, I cannot prove that. But I do not believe it. I do not believe it. Why? Because the people at the State Department I talked to didn't want to own this. They didn't want to own this as their idea, as their concept, and they didn't want to own it as something that they believe will exist going forward. Why? Because they don't think the Arabs are going to step up. They never have. Gaza is a shithole. Not just because Israel is in control of it or overseeing it or administering it or whatever word you want to use. It's because the Arabs won't step up and do it themselves. They won't help. They don't even want any more Palestinians in their countries. You see the wall between Egypt and Gaza? What does that tell you? Brother? Brother. Brother my ass. So here's what's reported. Roughly 300 billion development and reconstruction framework, largely private sector financed according to reporting. Now here's my problem with this. It would be bad enough if it was the Arabs and what we were going to have to owe them for them doing this. I am worried that this is the next big construction scam. That's what I'm worried, is that this is the next way that people are going to get Trump to help them on the private side with illegal deals. So we're gonna watch this and it's gonna be hard to watch. It's gonna be hard cuz you're not gonna care. Cuz we're gonna move on and there's gonna be a new scandal. But I believe that this is where Trump is gonna wind up making a lot of people rich. Okay? And again, you can't compare this with the jcpoa because there was no ongoing war, there was nothing to reconstruct, so there was no need to make any commitment. All right? But this is the single largest economic difference between the Two frameworks, all right? It would represent a much broader economic reintegration strategy than the JCPOA ever even contemplated. Okay, so the idea of who gave him more money, it's not even gonna be a close call. Point seven, broad sanctions relief. Now this goes to what I was listening to that bullshit off the top Trump saying. They gave him this, they gave him that, he's doing the same thing and it doesn't matter whether you give me cash or whether you give me crypto. What's the difference? Well, it's so easy to hide cash. No, it isn't. You know how hard it's gotten to move cash? Do you know how hard it is to use large amounts of cash? Oh, well, that's what the terrorists do do they do they do a little googling of blockchain platforms. And what their problem has been, those guys trade in crypto more than anything else. So look, there was no crypto back then. When they did it, they gave them cash. You can say that it was a bad thing to do. Fine, it was a bad thing to do. You're doing the same thing and you're doing worse and you're doing more. Okay, why? Point seven, eventual removal of primary and secondary US sanctions. Possible removal of UN related sanctions as part of a final agreement. This is where the comparison becomes very interesting to the jcpoa. There were a lot of nuclear related sanctions that were suspended or lifted under the JCPOA on the basis of performance by the regime. Meaning if you do what you're supposed to do, then we'll relieve the sanctions. Okay. Numerous non nuclear sanctions remained, so sanctions were largely left in place, except surrounding the nukes in exchange for doing things where the nukes were concerned. Trump's deal does more in terms of forgiveness and appeasement of the regime. Period. Okay. The reported 2026 framework appears more ambitious, potentially envisioning a removal of a much wider sanctions structure. Who gave them more, JCPOA or Trump? Trump. Okay, Know that. Now you know. Alright. Point eight, Iran reaffirms it will not build nuclear weapons. Now tell me this, if this is a nuclear deal, why is that 0.8? Why is it more than halfway down the list? Tell me. You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying? Why? Because that's not how the regime sees it. And my reporting is. And let's see, let's see if I wind up being wrong. Sometimes the reporting is wrong. They have made it clear to US intelligence and diplomatic channels they do not believe that what they agreed to in the JCPOA was fair to them and they will not repeat it. Remember I told you that the regime is saying what we agreed to in the JCPOA was too lopsided. You walked away from it. We were left with the burden. We're not doing that again. That's why it's 0.8. You think this is all about nukes because Trump tells you it is. You think it's a coincidence that he just said the other day, oh, you know, the enriched uranium, it's just dust. We don't even really need it either. It's not a big thing. You know, we collapsed the whole mountain of where it is. Nobody knows what they have. Exactly. Nobody knows where it is. They told us they obliterated it a year ago. And now there's all this stuff that warranted a war because they were only weeks away from a weapon, which was a lie to create an imminency to do this. And now what they have doesn't matter anymore as long as they promise not to get anything else. Does that make any sense to you? Unless you're MAGA because the G stands for gullible? Because that is all bullshit, what I told you, that is all false information. It is all mis and dis information. Everything I just said it was imminent. They were about to get a weapon lie. Okay? Because you're not weeks away from getting a weapon and now everything you have is meaningless. Oh, no, it's only meaningless because they destroyed all of it. Really? Who says that? Not Israel. Not Israel. Not the iaea. Who says it? Trump. That's who says it. They're international ballistic missiles through the first eight points, no mention. Takes seven points just to get to nukes. This is an appeasement deal. This is the I gotta get the fuck outta here. I fucked up. I shouldn't have been in here in the first place. That's what this is. And once again, I keep calling Trump the luckiest guy in the history of the game, the Teflon Don. Why? Because that'll be enough for us. We just want to get. We just want to get the fuck out. And anybody who's going to hold him to account for this, they were going to hold him to account anyway for what's happening with affordability. Okay, so point 8. This is a biggie. Even though it's late in. In terms of. You want to compare it to the jcpoa. Great support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Irestore. Listen, Father's Day is coming up. There are very few Daddies that are over 40 or 50 who aren't worried about their hair. Okay, Irestore can help. I use all their products. In fact, please send me more. I believe in the serum, which is like, you know, the little dropper thing that you put on, especially in the monkey's ass here in the back. I can't really show it to you, so I mean, it's looking okay, but I think that's, I think that's why, you know, so I'm using the serum, I'm using shampoo, I'm using the conditioner, and I'm using my bike helmet with all the LED lights. I don't know why I'm. I'm watching TV. I throw on the helmet. Takes like 15, 20 minutes. I mean, why not, right? Over 500,000 customers worldwide. Can't be wrong, right? Not all of them. So it's simple, it works, it's clean, and the science behind it makes sense, right? The Irestore Elite is the most advanced laser hair growth system that they have. 300 lasers, 200 LEDs to help regrow thicker, healthier hair in as little as three months. And I can, you know, you wear it doing anything, you know, so here's the best part.

The sculpt belt brings red light therapy to the body using triple wave LED technology to help firm, smooth and sculpt while supporting muscle recovery after a workout. Okay, so look, I think there's just lots of great products. We have moved past the idea that men can't worry about these things and can't try to do things to help themselves. They should. They can and they will if you give them the right stuff. Irestore is celebrating Father's Day with a limited time savings on their red light therapy devices. From June 8th through June 21st, you can save 33%. Damn. On gift ready favorites like the Irestore Elite helmet and Irestore's new sculpt belt as part of the dad Edit.

So some love when they ask you where you heard about them. Just Say, Cuomo sent me, give your dad a gift that helps him feel confident, refreshed and ready to take on his day and be his best self. I restore point 8, Iran reaffirms it will not build nuclear weapons. Iran reiterates it will never develop nuclear weapons. Now that's very interesting that the regime says that. The regime. The Trump regime, The Trump administration uses that word, reiterates as if they've said it before. Yeah, because they've never kept their promise, ever. The nuclear details are deferred to final negotiations. Okay? The JCPOA had specific enrichment caps, stockpile limits, centrifuge limits, detailed verification, defined breakout timelines. Okay? We are told the regime will agree to none of that kind of structure. Again, we will see, but none of it is in here. This is not a nuclear anything. They are selling you on the idea that the regime has promised they'll never do it again. They are lying terrorists who hate you. It is insulting that you would even bring that up as a basis of any kind of convincing information about this. This is a major downgrade where we are right now from the jcpoa. The idea that this is a better deal than the jcpoa. There is no deal. There are absolutely no restrict put on them in this about nukes. None. We'll see in the final deal. But right now, to call this a better deal than Obama's deal. There is no deal. He's lying to you. Okay? Point nine, Nuclear status quo. During negotiations, Iran freezes further expansion, US Imposes no new sanctions, US Avoids additional military buildup. So again, this is just the bare minimum. Okay, just stop. That's. This. Stop. You stop, we'll stop. Okay? The JCPOA was a final agreement, of course, you know, and it required substantial rollback of nuclear capabilities before sanctions relief. See, it's a big difference here. That's why I'm calling it appeasement. It's calling appeasement because you're doing it before they do anything for you in terms of what matters to you, which you said was nukes, but you also said it was about having the back of the Iranian people, and clearly that wasn't it. There's not even anything in about that, let alone about the people they have wrongfully detained in Iran. Nothing in here about that. Great. So, appeasement, why? Because you're giving them a break before they do anything for you. And that is not what the JCPOA did. Nothing was removed until they started showing course of performance in good faith. Okay? Now, so why? Because we're in a different situation. The JCPOA was about busting their nuts over their nuclear ambitions. This is about getting out of a war that Trump started. That's what this document is, is getting out of this and getting the straight back undoing the damage that Trump's war caused, period. That's what it is. And let me tell you, you switch the R to a D and every Republican would be saying it, all of MAGA would be against this. I'm telling you, it's complete hypocrisy. MAGA is dead. It is make America gullible again. And you made a certain percentage of them gullible. You took advantage of these people who in good faith believed that things could be better, and now you've made them worse. That's how I see it. I'm telling you. Look, this may stabilize this situation, which will be enough for us because we never wanted to be in it. But it provides fewer immediate nuclear concessions. And by fewer, I mean none. Okay, point 10, oil export waivers. The treasury gives waivers for Iranian oil exports. Okay, Meaning what gives them free reign to sell related banking, insurance and transportation relief. Oil sanctions were obviously important and central to the jcpoa. The difference is this draft again restores exports immediately without any action by the regime. That's not what the JCPOA did. Okay, now let's get into the funny money. Okay, that's point 11. Release of frozen assets. Tens of billions. Remember the 2010 deal gave them 1.7 or $2 billion of what was said to be their own money. Okay? This is tens of billions in frozen Iranian assets potentially released based on performance. So it wasn't even a possibility under the jcpoa. It is under the Trump deal. The JCPOA did unlock significant Iranian assets. I'm not saying that they weren't. And there were sanctions lifted. The current network, though, appears to front load a lot of that in a way the JCPOA did not. How much money do they get? Where does it come from? We do not know. But the idea that they're gonna beat up on how all of those countries did it in the jcpoa, and they're not doing anything like it, is a lie. Okay, 12.1, 3.14. Now, this is a really interesting one to me. UN Security Council endorsement. The final agreement would be codified through a binding UN Security Council resolution. Now, the JCPOA was endorsed also, but remember, the JCPOA would. Now, with this, you're going to have to seek international legitimacy and durability. You're going to have to get people to sign on. You went into that JCPOA with that. They were your CO signs, they were your allies on this. They were the coalition, Russia, China, America, all on the same side of signing against the regime. You don't have that now. You don't have that now. Okay, so let me take you through some of the points. All right? One, this is a. Let me get out of here. Give me the straight back. I'll give you things to do that. Okay, Right there. This is not the jcpoa. It is not anywhere near as strong, it's not anywhere near as final. So stop calling what this is a deal because it's all deferred to later. And you're giving them things now that they did not get under that deal until they did what we needed them to do here. You fucked up by going in. So you need to get the straight back. So that's really all they have to do. And you're going to pay them for it. Know that you're going to give. They're going to have more money after they open the straight than they would have without doing it, period. It's the end of the analysis. The idea that this was all about nukes and stopping them. You have no deal on any of that. Zero. You don't even have an M memorandum of understanding on that. Yeah, we promise we'll never try to get a nuke. Oh, but you wouldn't discuss what you have and how you're doing it right now. Well, we'll save that for later. And you've made this commitment many times before and lied about it. This is, come on, it's not even close. Now you know those are the 14 points. That is a clear eyed assessment on them. You want to say that the JCPOA sucked because you gave them all this money. You're giving them just as much, if not more, and you're giving it to them up front. Oh, but that deal was weak because they never did anything and they laughed at Obama. Oh, really? And what is the regime saying about you, Chooch? What is the region saying about us? Oh, the Muslims love this deal. Of course they do. We've completely emboldened an Islamist regime. I'm sure all the bad guys in the region see this as cause for hope. Let's see if these Arab Rim countries put up the 300 billion private sector. What does that mean? Who's going to put up the 300 billion? I thought it was the Arabs. That's not private sector. Those are sovereigns. Qatar is not private sector. Why does it say private sector? You tell me. I think it speaks to Trump. Taking care of his buddies and having them bid contracts. And who knows where our money is going to come into play on this. Oh, Trump says you lost me. No, no, but Trump said you lost me. He's a liar. Okay, I'm not you. I'm not gullible. I'm not going to believe somebody who lies to me all the time. You show me the proof. Let's flip it. You. You trust because you're gullible, Maga. I'm not. Okay, so you show me proof, and then I'll decide whether or not there's anything that's worth trusting. So you just trust and then you hope there's some kind of proof or you can play Gotcha on something else. Well, the jcpoa, you know they made all this enrichment. Yeah, after you left the deal. After you left the deal. Yeah, but they never did it. Seriously. And they got all that cash and they used it to pay proxies. Yeah, and you're giving them money right now to do that and you're not making them any do anything real to commit and to show that they won't do it. There's not even any language about it in the MOU that's anything strong. Look, you can listen to the President if you want, okay? You will not win an argument on the basis of anything he said because it is all demonstrably, not just false, absurd. You want to compare a memo of understanding that has no specificity and requires no real action on behalf of the regime where nukes are involved on any level and say it's already better than a final agreement that did exactly those things involving the most important countries in the world. Really? How fucked up and toxically partisan do you have to be to accept that? How? Tell me. Well, he finally stepped up and did something. He did what? He gave the regime an opportunity. Yeah, he killed a bunch of bad guys and a lot of good guys that they are hiding from us. Okay? Remember you killed over 150 school kids in your name. That was done. Oh, we don't know that. They're still investigating. Bullshit. Bullshit. Okay? Bullshit. You're being gullible. Don't do that. Be a critical thinker. Because remember, you don't have to own Trump. You just have to own your feelings about what's wrong in this society and realize that this ain't the answer. That's where you'll see consensus. That's where you'll see the majority and that's when things start taking steps in a better direction. This is not going to get us there. This MoU is bullshit. It's just a way to stop this war, which everybody wants stopped anyway. And the people who want it stopped and know that Trump screwed it all up, they were going to vote against him anyway. And the people who voted for him probably won't hold it against him. Why? Because they care about something else more, which is their own fate, their own fortunes, and their own concerns about this country. And that is where consensus will be built. Because they're not wrong to be worried about what they're worried about. Angry can work as a momentum and energy for change. Angry doesn't have to mean it, can mean passionate, can mean purposeful, doesn't have to mean animus, doesn't have to mean violent. Okay? That makes us like the regime. And by the way, we're becoming more and more like them. You saw this attack, right, in Washington on UFC 250, that they only spoiled Cash Patel saying, we're built to stop this. Yeah, cuz his mom called you. His mom called you. You're built for bullshit. That's what you're built for. The guy's mom called the police. That's how they stopped him. Thank God that, that mother and father decided to do the right thing. Otherwise who knows what would have happened. But when you look at these people, are they Christian nationalists? Maybe. But a lot of the things on the agenda are very left wing also. Why? Because that's where our politics is going. It's just getting angrier and angrier. And the fringes are getting more and more magnified, more impact. Because we keep using social media as a proxy for consensus and vox populi in this country. And there's going to be more violence. There will be more violence. Why? Because we're asking for it. What do you mean? Everybody's angry. I'm angry. We're all hot. We're all hot. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Lucy. Now, look, it's hard to kick habits, okay? Believe me, I know. I'm here with you. But premium, 100% tobacco free nicotine pouches. This is a good step in the right direction. Okay, I'm not telling you you should be hooked on nicotine. Some people will argue that there are benefits. Some people will argue that there's no upside. I'm just telling you, if you want to find a way to get what you think you need without what can kill you for sure. Look at Lucy. 100% tobacco free nicotine pouches for true pouch connoisseurs. Okay, this is the best, as opposed to what's in the rest. All right? Now, why nicotine? Absolutely can help you focus, absolutely can give you a boost. No question about it. Lucy pouches go up to 12 milligrams in strength and they have a unique shape that feels great in the gum. All right, I don't always use pouches, but when I do, I use Lucy.

And you can get 20% off your first order when you buy online@luci.com Cuomo use the code CUOMO, okay? And if you don't want to wait, check out their store locations and you can find Lucy near you and go grab it soon as you're done watching me. So remember, use my name, tell them I sent you. Lucy is the product, Cuomo is the discount code. And here comes the fine print. Lucy products are only for adults, for people of legal age. And every customer will be age verified. Warning. The product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. In summary, this is not a deal, okay? It is a suggestion for a potential deal. It is not better than the JCPOA in any way because it is not a final deal. And it does not require anything of the regime specific on any of the points that matter. There's no requirement on uranium enrichment, on the centrifuges, on the international ballistic missiles. There's nothing on the funding of their proxies. There's almost nothing. And on taking care of the people who we said this was about and having their backs, there is nothing. Think about that. What was this about? They can never have a nuclear weapon, okay? We have no idea whether this is going to do that. It's nowhere close to what the JCPOA put in place. It's not even close. Okay? Second, I thought it was also because there are a bunch of fucking terrorists that keep shooting missiles all over the place and trying to hurt people.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
We have to destroy that. We destroyed that. No, you didn't destroy it. And they're rebuilding it. And it is rebuildable as an infrastructure very quickly. How come it's not even in the MoU? Appeasement. Appeasement, that's why. How come there's nothing in here about them holding us, holding hostages, holding Americans? How come there's nothing in that? Appeasement, that's why. How come there's nothing in there about making reforms and human rights changes to stop oppressing their own people. I thought we had their back. There's nothing in the MOU about that. Why? Because our President is an M O U S E M I C K Y M O U S E that's why. Because he's acting like a mouse. He just wants to get out of this cuz he fucked it up and he knows it's killing him in the polls. And he's right because it's exacerbated all the problems we had at home already. On top of his tariffs, which had already exacerbated all the problems we had at home already. This is not a deal. It is not as good as anything else because it is nothing and it is missing a lot of the things that it needed and what it's supposed to be all about. It is very light on. And now you know why. Point for point. Can it change? Of course. Will it change? It must. Will 60 days of negotiations make all this go away? Highly improbable. But it buys him 60 days. It buys him a chance to get you more interested in who some fucked up illegal immigrant kills or you know, what someone else does. That's scandalous. That's what this does. I'm telling you, after the weekend, just a few days, he will not mention that situation again unless he has to. That's what he's hoping this gets him. That's why he's overselling it. That's why his people are engaging in mis and disinformation. That's why my State Department sources and other sources that you're seeing reports from are not happy about this. Are worried about what happens next. That's why. And the Israel piece is something also. President Trump said shit about Israel that we have never heard a president say before. It's an interesting commentary on our state of play. The lefties should be loving what Trump just said, loving it. But they're not. Why? Because Hitler can't have a good haircut? Hitler can't have a good day? When you hate somebody, when you've decided that they are evil and an existential threat, there's no room for any kind of anything but complete animosity. So even though he just said exactly what you wanted him to say when they were fighting in Gaza, which is what? Too much, too long. Too many people dead that aren't in the terror organization, you don't have to blow up a whole building because you think a couple of the people in there, Hezbollah, there are too many People in there who aren't. He's going to have to be more responsible, Bibi Netanyahu, about how he does this and he's going to have to stop because it's been enough. It's exactly what you wanted to hear him say and now he's saying it. And you're not giving him his due. Why? Because you're not fair. You hate him. You hate him. I'm not driven by that. I'm driven by anger. I'm angry, I'm passionate. I'm upset by what's going on. I want to see it be different. I'm motivated to make it that way. But I don't hate why? Infects me. Infects me, hurts me. Why would I be that way? So that is the reality. That is where things stand right now. And now if you've listened to all of this, you know more and better than the overwhelming majority of people who have a hot take about this, who haven't even taken the time to do what we just did. Be a critical thinker, be a free agent, not some mouth breathing partisan that believes everything is about good and evil. It's about right and wrong and how things get better. And where we can have consensus and we can have consensus on what needs to change what is wrong. That's where the biggest group of Americans are on the same page. Seize that. Okay. Thank you for subscribing and following. Thank you for checking me out at Sirius Radio in the morning, 7 to 9 Eastern. Thank you for subscribing, I hear. And on the Chris Cuomo the Crime Time channel, Free crime is really important connective tissue. It's a really important look at our social fabric, at our administration of justice, at really the institution that matters most. I will give you insights into cases that other people cannot because they not have the same sources, they don't have the same legal background and they don't have the same understanding that I do. And that's what I'm doing. I'm not giving you a hot take on how I know who took Nancy Guthrie. I don't engage in bullshit that makes things worse. I'm going to tell you where that investigation screwed up and what their work in theory is that hasn't been reported and that I really can't report at News Nation because I don't want them to own that level of speculation. But I can share it with you here and just qualify it the right way. And you know, I understand why they don't want me to do it, but I have my own standard on my podcast and I believe my reporting. So I can give you those kinds of insights. I can give you those aspects of the untold story. So I hope you subscribe to Cuomo Crimetime. I'll see a News Nation AP every weekday night. And thank you for buying your swag. It's okay to be angry. It's better to be a free agent. It's better to be a critical thinker. It's better to tell people that you're different. And I got a lot of great stuff for summer that you can buy. We'll crowdsource all that money and give it away to people. You all right, Tennessee? And if we stick together, if we stick to critical thinking, if we stick to conversating instead of bullshit. Gotcha. Debating and just trying to prove that you can own the other side and get more clicks. It's not helping us. It's hurting us. I know. It's making people money on digital media. What I just did here is what will help us get to a better place. Because now you're armed with the information and analysis that actually lays out what this is and what this is not and what matters and why. My friends, the problems are real. Let's get after it.
Podcast Summary: The Chris Cuomo Project
Episode: Trump Just Caved To Iran And Called It A Deal
Date: June 18, 2026
Host: Chris Cuomo
In this episode, Chris Cuomo delivers a passionate, point-by-point critique of the recently announced “memorandum of understanding” between Donald Trump’s administration and Iran, juxtaposing it with the Obama-era JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). With a signature blend of blunt analysis, frustration, and irreverence, Cuomo argues that Trump’s deal is a weak ceasefire misrepresented as a diplomatic victory. He challenges widespread media and political narratives, breaks down the deal’s fourteen main points, and targets the hypocrisy and gullibility he sees in Trump’s supporters and defenders.
(Cuomo meticulously walks through each of the 14 points Trump’s team is reportedly circulating.)
Chris Cuomo’s verdict: Trump’s so-called Iran “deal” is neither final nor substantive, offering sweeping concessions prematurely, with no genuine nuclear controls or reforms for the Iranian people. It’s appeasement for the sake of political convenience—an exit ramp from a self-inflicted crisis sold as a diplomatic coup. Cuomo’s impassioned appeal is for listeners to cut through partisan spin, think for themselves, and demand real accountability and progress.
