Mom, can you tell me a story? Sure. Once upon a time, a mom needed a new car. Was she brave? She was tired, mostly. But she went to Carvana.com and found a great car at a great price. No secret treasure map required. Did you have to fight a dragon? Nope. She bought it 100% online from her bed, actually. Was it scary? Honey, it was as unscary as car buying could be. Did the car have a sunroof? It did, actually. Okay, good story. Car buying you'll want to tell stories about. Buy your car today on Carvana. Delivery fees may apply. I'll give you the three reasons that there will be no deal with the regime in Iran anytime soon. And I've been saying this not because I don't want it to happen. I didn't want any of this to happen. Like most of us, most critical thinkers didn't want Trump to go in there the way he did. And I can explain that, too. Why it was. And it's not as simple as, oh, so you're saying the regime's not bad? Oh, you're saying you hate your country. Oh, you're saying you don't like the US Military. This is all nonsense. This is all nonsense. But I will give you the three reasons there's gonna be no deal. Okay? And once you hear them, you will see that this keeps playing in a loop, on repeat. Why? Because the President and his administration don't have any better ideas to break through the three operative functional barriers that I'm going to give you. Right? This is Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. Here's number one, you're dealing with terrorists. This is not a duh point, and I'll tell you why. Not only do they have institutional memory, right? Like every other institution, they've been there for generations. They've been there over 40 years. They remember that Trump left the JCPOA. So guess what? They don't have trust on their side. Think about that. Because they're still human beings. They're still power players. They're still trying to figure out who they're dealing with and what they're dealing with. And they kind of see Trump as a terrorist the same way that they are terrorists, and they are, okay? Their view on Trump is a perspective, all right? Our view on them is a fact. They are terrorists. That's what they do. Now, he pulled out of the deal. He'll be lucky to get a deal that is anything like the jcpoa. And that's never gonna happen if he doesn't Get a coalition going, and right now they don't wanna join Trump. Why? They don't trust him. They don't trust him. They got burned on the jcpoa. They get burned on Trump all the time. He disrespects them. He hurts them at home. So the allies are not looking to step up. In fact, we've never had allies due to Trump. What is happening right now? Never. Not in my lifetime. Not in yours. Okay, now, institutional memory. Yeah. All right, so what? No, no, what their institutional memory tells them is that what did Trump say right away, while we were still debating whether or not what he was calling a war, and obviously was a war, is a war. Remember that phase of this bullshit? Okay, what did he say that was the only thing that has mattered, that Trump has said? As a matter of fact. I'm waiting. I'm not hearing it. What he said was, I will not remove the regime. That's all they needed to hear. He then actually said, you know, I'd be okay with a theocratic regime. I don't know. As long as I have a hand in kind of figuring out who the leader is. I'm good with that. It was over in terms of the existential threat to them. It was over as soon as he said, and I'm not some Johnny Kamal. I said this when he said it, okay? As soon as he said, I'm not going to remove the regime. What's their big fear? What's their big fear? Their economy, Their zealots, Their people, Their zealots, their power. They're like a virus, you know, they don't have a beloved leader. The ayatollah is as good as. Until the next one. This guy's got the same name. It's his son. Now, they say he's more fundamentalist and he's bringing more fundamentalists around him. Now, that was a big lie that the Trump administration told us, right? We're dealing with better people now. We're dealing with. But, no, we're dealing with the same people. Same kind of people, all right? Zealots are zealots. Doesn't matter what their name is right now. This is the first reason, and it's a big one. And I'm combining two things. It could be two, right? Institutional memory, which is one, you're backed out of the last deal. We don't trust you. And by the way, America has a history of going sideways on Iran and on the region that goes back multiple. Multiple presidential administrations, okay? Back to, like, the 70s. This has been going on when you travel to that part of the world. When you deal with leadership in that part of the world and political actors in that part of the world, they will bite your head off about how America has dipped in and dipped out out of convenience and left people hanging way too often. All right, so that's a part of the institutional memory. It is less impressive than the second piece of the institutional memory, which is the first thing that Trump said in this situation, in the history of this war was he wouldn't remove the regime. As soon as he said that, it was over. Now, if you're going to keep the regime in place, it becomes even more important that Trump did this alone with Israel, which, remember, he didn't need Israel. He could have used Israel's intelligence. Although I don't know why the Israelis didn't give us more of a heads up about the drones and their capabilities in the Strait, you know, because American military keeps saying to me that, oh, yeah, we're totally. We knew they were gonna do something in the Strait. You did, and you let it happen anyway. Well, they had different operational priorities. They wanted us to get rid of this, get rid of this. Now, you haven't heard that yet, and it should be in the news more often. The reason they were able to close the Strait is because the US Operation wasn't designed to prioritize keeping the Strait open because it had other priorities. So, yes, they knew that the regime may well try to do something like closing down the Strait, but the Trump administration did not make keeping that from happening a primary priority. Did you know that? You do now? So it happened, okay? And now wound up being a much bigger deal than the Trump administration thought it would be. Okay? But what it also brings into very, very specific and stark relief is this. The JCPOA was the P5 plus one, right? Why? Because Obama knew and his government knew and the Republicans knew and the Democrats knew that you need to have multiple points of contact and hooks into the regime. So you bring in China, you bring in Russia, you bring in France, you bring in the UK, you bring in the EU. Why? Well, one, now you have the whole UN Security Council, right? The five permanent members. China, Russia, France, US UK those are the five permanent members. And you had the Euro P5 plus one. Now, why do you need all those? Well, one, it's the UN all right? So you're dealing with the heart of the heart, all right? So that's gotta matter. Because if they want to have a sympathetic ear as terrorists who are being victimized, blah, blah, blah, they're going to need the un even though they're largely living in violation of everything the UN is about. But you now have all of those hooks into them. And each of those countries, especially Russia and China, have very specific relationships with Iran that now they have some skin in the game. So Iran doing what it needs to do is kind of important. Otherwise it's kind of bad for Russia and China. So that's why they did it that way, so that everybody had an ability to snap sanction. Everybody had an ability to get in on the checks. Everybody had an ability to use their relationship. So when you took that away, all you had was America's military might, which was of course buttressed with the idf, but not that we needed it. And you were never going to bomb these people into submission. Why? They're zealots and they don't care about the human cost to their people. You're seeing that they're killing their own people. Right now we're not even talking about it. Why? Because we can't do anything about it. Why? Because Trump already set the bar. And that was number one. As soon as you said the regime will stay in place, it was over. It was over. Meaning what? That you could never win? No, that you might as well have made a deal then. Bomb, bomb, bomb, hit their capabilities, reduce their capabilities by force and say, now do you want to make a deal? Well, they didn't want to make a deal. They don't want to make a deal now. They just said. Right. The breaking news as of you watching this is we're gonna close this straight down entirely. Why? Cuz they have the leverage now. Can they do that? It depends on how messy the US Wants this to get. If you are bombing them savagely, they're not gonna have the ability to put those boats out. And you can bomb everything that's going on all the time. And you could certainly disrupt their ability to do that. But there's a big price tag that comes along with that. There's risk of exposure and kinetic activity. You are going to have the Strait be shut down completely for a long time while it's happening. So they will have achieved their goal, even though it's not their efforts operationally that are making it happen, it'll be ours. Because you're not going to travel through the Strait when bombs are flying. Right. So why are they doing that? Well, one, it's a little bit of a shot at Israel. Why? Because Israel isn't respecting the ceasefire. Do you remember the drama about the ceasefire? Oh, we didn't know that included Lebanon. Now that was dirty pool by the United States. And Israel, of course, the ceasefire included all of the hostilities. That was embarrassing for me. I don't know about you, but to have to own that My government did that. Playing with terrorists, you know, like they were the ones who were telling the truth about it. That sucked. That sucked. So now here we are again. Israel is not unlike the regime in that all it cares about is taking out its enemies. They have true existential risk. They have true existential risk. They will pound on Hezbollah for every moment that they can. And if that means kind of violating a ceasefire, they will. Oh, then they're terrorists too. No, not necessarily. Why? Because they're not doing it to spread fear of their political agenda. I mean, you can look at it that way, sure, but I don't think it's fair or accurate. They believe that these people represent an existential threat. They attack them on a regular basis and there's now an opportunity for them to be in Lebanon having moved the line. Now that's going to be an issue also. And bombing as long as they can. Because again, they don't want this to end. The regime doesn't want this to end. Oh, yes, they do. The President keeps telling me that they're desperate for a deal. Oh, really? Do you believe that? Really? Come on, seriously. Look, I'm not here to shame you for voting for Trump or shame you for believing what Trump says. Trump isn't wrong about what is wrong in America on certain levels. Okay? And a lot of people who voted for him were not wrong to want a disruption, to want the system to be forced to change. Now that's where you lose me, is right after that. Because this idea that, you know, Trump's only doing all these things, these openly corrupt things with his son and him and making billions of dollars and all these other things because making over a billion dollars while President on deals that are involving the United States government because he wants the system to change. So he's just trying to point out how fucked up it is. Seriously? Seriously? That's what you think this is about? Come on. Support for the Chris Cuomo Project comes from soul. Look, I'm not a big booze guy, so what do I do when I want to have a little brain relaxation with other adults? I use sol's out of office gummies and drinks. Why? Because they use hemp derived thc, which is a non psychotic psychotropic kind of drug. I don't have any crazy visions or paranoia, but it gives me that Brain relaxation. For me, I liken it to like a two drink buzz. They got different strengths. I use the lightest one because I'm pretty chemically sensitive and you know, I can get a little bingy, but that's, you know, about my personality also. But that aside, it works for me so much better than booze ever did. And that's why I recommend it to you. Sol is a wellness brand that makes delicious hemp derived CBD and THC products designed to make feeling good simple. Sol's new mood gummies have precise dosing, clean ingredients, formulations designed for predictable effects. I agree with all of that. So you can choose how you want to feel while staying in control. I agree. I agree. I agree. Make today a good day. Get yourself some Seoul gummies.

Point one is institutional memory, right? You screwed us on the JCPOA and you said we're gonna stay in power, so it's kind of playing with house money here. Two, you went in alone, so we hate you anyway. And you're doing what you can do to us. You can't really do anything more. And we're going to mess with you because we don't want this to end. Because we love our relevancy. We love our relevancy, okay? And Israel loves this opportunity. They have an opportunity to bomb Hezbollah into almost complete submission. Now they're going to destroy a lot of Lebanon in the process. I wonder who's going to pay for that. You already know the answer, right? You do know that you're going to wind up paying for what happened in Iran, right? You know that. You know it already, don't you? You know, people get you to be so pissed off about Israel and the money that we give them. One, the money that we give them is misunderstood and exaggerated, okay? The amounts that we give them are exaggerated. You can look them up for yourself. You know, I don't want to get into this game where I give you a number and then you check me on the number and you say, that's not the. Just Google it yourself and see what you can find. I'm telling you, there are a lot of foreign investments we make that are far greater than what we give to the Israeli military. And remember, they use the overwhelming majority of that money to pay American military contractors, okay? So if there's something about it that should piss you off, it's that, man, the corporations just always win. And whatever the situation is, it's designed so that somehow they get theirs. Always, always. So also we get value out of Israel, okay? They are our intelligence apparatus in the region. They are the best reach we have there, okay? And they're also something else that nobody ever talks to you about. And this is why they get such a wide berth. Antisemitism is a very real thing. We're seeing that more and more in our country all the time. But, you know, it kind of ends at, like, the Eastern Bloc once you go farther east. From there, you go into Asia. Antisemitism isn't a thing the way it is in the West. Israel has a really good relationship with China and Russia. Did you know that Russian is the third most spoken language in Israel? There's a lot of connectivity, there's a lot of commerce, there's a lot of depth. I'm not trying to be sinister or suspicious. I'm not saying Israel is a double agent on us or anything like that. Could be someday, who knows? But right now I'm just saying they're valuable to us because their technology, their it, their innovation, the Chinese suck at that. So they love the Israelis. And the Russians, they can't get anything going for themselves, so they love the Israelis. The Israelis are like the mitochondria of IT Economies all over the place in a cellular structure analogy, of course. So we get value out of Israel, okay? Just know that America's not big in the giving and getting nothing game. You screwed up on the jcpoa. You said you're not going to remove them. You came in alone. Okay? Now you got the third piece. And this is the toughest one and the longest, probably enduring aspect of why this deal will only happen when either Israel says it needs to end. And I don't know how they'd have to get hit for that to be true. Because if they were to get hit bad, God forbid they would just go all in against whoever did it. So that doesn't end it automatically. Here's the third reason. We don't have the will. Not saying we don't have the might. We have the most powerful military machine in the history of military machines. We will bomb them. As Hillary Clinton said before Donald Trump even knew the word obliterate. We would obliterate them. No question. We can. We kill a shit ton of innocent Iranians and Persians, but we could definitely do it militarily. We are overwhelming in what we can do to them, but we don't have the will to own the situation. There is only one way to get the regime to do and be what we want. It's to get rid of it. It's the only way. I'm not advocating for this. I'm analyzing why there's not going to be a deal anytime soon that is anything like what the JCPOA is. The best deal we're gonna get right now is okay. The strait is basically open to how it was before Trump did all this. It won't even be as good as it was before Trump started all this. That's the best deal you're gonna get right now and everybody knows it. And maybe something else will happen or not. So already the bullshit is fragrant, right? Because it's all about nukes. It's all about nukes. It's all about nukes. Everything we did is justified because of nukes. They were weeks away from having nukes. All, all lies. You know this, right? All lies. The real fracture in my openness to fairness with Trump defenders, even Bill O'Reilly was when. Look, Google right now, I A E A I'll do it with you. Let's do it together. Let's do a little research thing. Okay, we'll do two. All right, first this one and then the Israeli one first. Did I a IAEA head say Iran weeks away from nuclear weapon? Send short answer no. The IAEA head Grossi is his last name. G R O S S I first name Rafael has not said Iran is liter weeks away from a nuclear weapon. That is a mix of misinterpretation, political framing and repeated media exaggeration of a narrower statement. Well, what did he say? Iran has enough highly enriched uranium up to 60% that could be quickly further enriched to reach weapons grade 90% that the breakout time to get to 90% weapons grade uranium could be weeks, not months. Iran has the technical capability to do this relatively quickly if it chooses. Now. So he did say it. No. Why? Having weapons grade uranium is not the same thing as having a nuclear weapon. They don't even know that they have a program that has the sophistication and the materials and the technology to build a weapon. Wait, you just said they do. Enriching uranium is different than weaponizing it on something that can sustain it, keep it stable, and deliver it in a way that it will be used to full effect. They're very different things. Related. Different. Okay, so it does not mean this is chatgpt. Iran has a bomb ready. Iran would be weeks away. Iran even wants that now. There. I disagree. They do want it. Okay, yes. They haven't said they want it, but they want it. Come on. Why else would you be enriching the uranium? Okay, so weeks away referred to enrichment capability, not to having a weapon. They lied. You know who echoed this for them? U.S. intelligence. And they lied. And how do we know they lied? Because what happened when the reporting came out that the US Intelligence had told them that they weren't weeks away and that we probably didn't obliterate all of their nuclear capabilities, and there may be more of them than they. And some of them may be all that stuff. The reporting came out and the White House said it's all bullshit. It never happened. You notice what they didn't do? How come Trump didn't trot out the intelligence heads to say it was bullshit and they're weeks away from a weapon? Right. He has these people lie for him all the time. How come? How come they didn't come out? Why did he let that stand? Sometimes silence is more deafening than any cacophony of cacao. That's why. Because it's true. That's why. And that's why I had this rift with these guys. You went into this war under false pretenses. I get it. You don't want them to have a nuke, fine. But it wasn't imminent. But you treated it like it was to justify going in ham fisted. Going in, recklessly going in without a plan and without a coalition. Why? Because Trump doesn't do plan or coalition. And Hegseth is a chooch. So this is what you get. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Cuo. What is cuo? I'll tell you what quo is. Quo is the basket.

Real offer down to the penny.

Nothing went wrong.
A
So what's the problem? That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes a smoothie. I'm waiting for the catch. Maybe there's no catch. That's exactly what a catch would want me to think. Wow. You need to relax. I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood? I think it's laminate. Okay. Yeah, that's good. That's close enough. Car selling without a catch. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pickup fees may apply. This is where we are. You left the last deal, so they don't trust you. You said you're not going to remove them, so they're not afraid of you. Okay. Second, you're alone, so you're not really messing with their money that much in a way that matters to them or their relationships that much in a way that matters to them now. And third, you don't have the will. We are not united like we were after 9, 11 to get the people who got us. We were so united that even our Congress did its job and voted. And we were all so united that we ignored the fact that we. We were going to the wrong place for the wrong reasons. Bad reasons, manipulated reasons, lies. And those Bush people, whether it's the guy on Scott Jennings on cnn, he was part of that Bush administration. He just lied to us about weapons of mass destruction. He never talks about that. He never owns it. Why? You tell me. Make your own decision. Ari Fleischer still going out there talking about what's true and not true about this administration when he was the weapons of mass destruction mouthpiece for the Bush administration. But we don't have that will right now, thank God, because it made us completely blind to where we were going and why we were going there. What a waste of blood and treasure. What a waste. But we don't have the will to take them out and to go on the ground and sustain the injuries and the time and the money that it would take to take out the regime and replace it with something else and help their economy and help all the institutions and help everything else. And you know what? We shouldn't. We shouldn't. I want to help the Iranian people. I think they deserve it. In fact, I think they deserve it from us. I think we owe them. Why? Because of our role in screwing with their system in the 70s, helping bring in the Shah, helping get the Shah out and replaced by the malacracy, the mullahs. Yeah, we had a hand in that. We got stink on us. We owe them. We do. And. Well, that's a political argument, though. And how you feel about that is up to you and up to the people in power at that time and who you empower and on what basis. But I want to help them. I believe in their cause. And I think the world would be much better off if the Iranian people were in charge of their own country instead of these despots. But I don't think America is going to go to war over it and lose a bunch of people and a bunch of money and a bunch of time when everything in America is very, very fragile, economically, socially, politically, very fragile. So we don't have the will. So there are your three reasons. There's not going to be a deal anytime soon unless the regime wants it. And right now, they don't need it. And I know Trump keeps telling you different things. He lies. He lies to you with impunity, by the way. Why? Because the people who are against Trump are using the wrong tactics. You keep trying to get people to punish Trump for how he is instead of just attacking them straight on on your own. Democrats have a good history of policy and economic development in this country. They seem to always, though, want to be embarrassed by their legacy, whereas the Republicans take any little win and they pretend like it was the best thing in the world, especially Trump. The Democrats need to relearn how to fight. And instead of being offended by everybody, they got to learn the difference between how to offend, how not to be offended, and what it is to be offensive. Here's what I mean. Quickly. And the reason that you can't even expose this Travis shamockery, this travesty of a sham of a mockery that is the Iran war is because you don't know how to fight. You're trying to get people to do your work for you and to punish Trump. No. Instead of hand wringing, instead of all your canceling and constantly being offended and wanting other people to join you and how offended you are, you need to start offending your opponents. You need to start shaming the people who stand up Trump instead of being offended by everything he does and playing yourself as a victim of everything and trying to get other people to join you in that they're not going to. Why? Because you're part of the problem. That's why. And you need to start offending your opponents. I don't mean, hey, fatso, that's not what I mean. That's Trump. That's cheap. You have to start pointing out what's wrong and blaming them for it because it is their fault, instead of saying, I don't like what he says. He broke the economy for the many. He broke our momentum. Is the economy in recession or depression? No, no. But it's headed the wrong way on his watch because of him. That is all you should be saying. We can make it better. He broke it. He broke it. He sucks. We can fix it. We can fix it. We can fix it. We have the policies. We know how to do it. On the Iran war. Get out, get out, get out. Give them what they want to be given to get this straight. You're going to blame them for it anyway. Just get out, get out. That's all that matters. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Superpower. And let me tell you, I just went through the latest chapter in my own wellness and fitness journey. Right. I should just say fitness and superpower is a fundamental to what I learned that helped me get to a better place. Lost about 20 pounds, lost the right kind of weight. Blood work is better. Using some different supplements now that make a difference for me, and I understand all of it. Why? Because of my blood work. Because I did blood work far beyond a CBC and I had real trained clinicians look at it and tell me what I need specifically for me. Because everything's in the blood now. And that's what Superpower gives you in an affordable and easy to use way. One simple blood draw, 100 different biomarkers. You will understand so much about your hormones, your metabolism, vitamin and mineral levels, specific to you. Supplement recommendations, prescription suggestions, peptides, you know, different things like that are all right there with clinicians who are reviewing the data that they have right in front of them. And it works. And this can cost thousands of dollars. Not with Superpower. All right, again, it can be 500, 1000 easy, easily, right? Not now. Not with Superpower. This is the year you should stop guessing about your health. Use Superpower for a limited time. My listeners are going to get 20 bucks off to unlock their new health intelligence.

Now. There's another way to look at it. I gave you three reasons. You don't have the will. You went in a loan with no plan and no contingencies and you said you weren't going to remove them. And you broke the deal last time. That's it. There are your three reasons. However, here's the fix, okay? Especially for the people who want to get rid of Trump and get into power. Just insist that he make a deal and get out. Take any deal. Why? You're going to get to blame him for that deal anyway. He's not going to get a win. He's not going to get a win. This was a terrible fiasco. Terrible. Huge failure. Huge. Get out. Have a hand in Getting us out. Get back to work and vote to get us out. Force a vote. Find a way. Keep putting the Democrats on record. We want this to end. We want to get out. We want to get back at home. We can fix a home. Fix America First. Fix America first. Rail on it. Ram it into his face. Be offensive to him. Be on offense. We know what to do. Let us do it. They are disqualified. Offend him. You screwed it up. This is on you. This is on your senators. This is on you in the House. This is on Mike Johnson. This is on you for not doing the job. This is on all of you. You did it. Be right about what's wrong. You're not offended. You're not victimized. You don't want people to be upset like you. They are upset. They're upset at you. So attack what they're upset about. Attack it. Attack that he went to war when he didn't know what the fuck he was doing. Attack that the tariffs and now this war have us under incredible price pressure that is barely keeping people ahead when they were on a trend of getting things better after the pandemic. This is false and forced hardship for bad policies. Be offensive, not offended. See the difference and see the three reasons there's going to be no deal. Jump on him and insist that he gets out. Whatever the deal is, no matter how bad it is, no matter how much you have to pay these people.

Why?

Because you're going to blame them for it anyway. And you'll have a hand in ending it. And that's the best we can hope for here. And then we're going to have to have some hard conversations about what happens at home and what happens with Israel going forward. Why you got real political problems now with the nature and state of that relationship, it's going to be a problem. I've been very open about how I feel about the Zionist cause and their right to exist and their right to defend themselves. But there is big political hardship going on on this issue and it's going to have to be confronted. And it's not all anti Semitism, not by a long shot. Some of it is, sure. But there are real issues. There always have been. I've always been clear eyed about it. And you've got to have clear eyes about what's going on and very clear sense of purpose about what to do about it instead of how you feel about it. Don't be offended. People are tired of that. They don't need you to tell them what's wrong. They need you to tell them that you get it and that you'll make it right. And if you're waiting on a deal from Trump and what he's telling you, you're going to be waiting a long time. That's what I got for you on this. Thank you for subscribing. Thank you for following.
