from The Chris Cuomo Project · host Chris Cuomo

Chris Cuomo brings together key moments from this week’s Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM, featuring conversations with former National Security Adviser John Bolton and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), along with calls from listeners reacting to America’s growing conflict with Iran.Bolton lays out why he believes regime change in Tehran is the only viable path to eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat and explains where he thinks the Trump administration’s political strategy has fallen short. Cuomo presses him on the risks of a power vacuum, the role of Kurdish groups inside Iran, and whether the U.S. has prepared for what comes after the regime.Lawler defends the administration’s decision to strike Iran, arguing the regime posed an untenable threat and that the president acted within his authority. Cuomo challenges him on congressional oversight, the risk of another long war in the Middle East, and what lawmakers were actually told in classified briefings.Callers also weigh in on the war, from veterans concerned about another Iraq-style conflict to listeners debating whether regime change is the right goal and what the real strategy should be moving forward.
