Chris Cuomo explains why the viral exchange between CNN’s Dana Bash and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reveals a much bigger problem than the debate over vaccines. Using the interview as a case study, Chris breaks down why political conversations have become less about changing minds and more about reinforcing identities, why fact-checking alone often fails, and why so many of America’s biggest debates now feel impossible to resolve.


Chris also examines RFK Jr.‘s claims about vaccines, Anthony Fauci’s role during the pandemic, Donald Trump’s handling of COVID, Operation Warp Speed, the lab leak debate, immigration, Elon Musk, political tribalism, and why he believes the country’s biggest challenge isn’t a lack of facts -- it’s the way Americans now process them.
