40:22Now PlayingChris Cuomo opened the show with a firestorm of controversy set off by President Trump’s Truth Social account, which reposted a video on election fraud. The video included an AI-generated clip depicting Barack & Michelle Obama as monkeys, which many critics said referenced a centuries-old racist trope. The White House initially defended the video and the clip, saying it was part of an internet meme depicting various prominent Democrats as characters from The Lion King and Trump as the lion. However, after 12 hours of widespread criticism from prominent Republicans, including the lone African-American GOP U.S. Senator, Tim Scott, who called the video racist, the White House blamed a staffer for the post and took down the video. Chris Cuomo said the video was reprehensible and called out the backlash on the Right which he said should also have criticized the election fraud claims that have been repeatedly debunked. Later in the show, NewsNation’s newest primetime host Katie Pavlich got into a heated debate with Chris Cuomo. While Cuomo said blame should lay at the feet of the President, Pavlich agreed the video should have been taken down sooner but maintained those who were labeling Trump a racist were being “very disingenuous and lacking context.” [Warning: this episode shows excerpts from the controversial video.]
It’s been nearly a week since the mother of “Today Show” host Savannah Guthrie, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing. Just before “CUOMO” began Friday, a local Arizona television station received a second message from Guthrie’s alleged captors. NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin joined the show with the latest details from outside the family home. Then, TMZ Founder and Executive Producer Harvey Levin, who saw the new message and received an earlier ransom note from the captors, this week, broke down the new developments. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer followed Levin with her take on where the investigation is headed next.
President Trump launched TrumpRx this week. It’s a platform designed to lower drug prices for Americans on Medicaid and those without insurance. The Administrator for the Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, joins “CUOMO” with more on the program and its rollout.
