James Carville Slams Trump’s Iran Deal | CUOMO Full Show (2-Hour Special Edition)

Chris Cuomo begins a special two-hour edition by arguing that the White House is misrepresenting the Iran deal. He says several of its provisions closely resemble those in President Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, which President Trump left three years later. Cuomo challenges the administration’s claims about the agreement and questions its nuclear and financial terms. Congressmen Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) spar over whether Congress should approve the deal.

Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran had already caused a split within MAGA, but will this deal fracture the movement beyond repair? NewsNation Correspondent-at-Large Geraldo Rivera debates conservative radio talk show host Jason Rantz.

Two million people came together in New York City on Thursday for one of the largest parades in the city’s history to honor the Knicks’ NBA championship. Trump wants the Knicks to visit the White House next, which would make them the first NBA champions to visit during a Trump presidency. Knicks owner James Dolan says they will attend, but should players fall in line? Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright and Trump 2024 Deputy Director of Communications Caroline Sunshine debate.

Trump is facing pushback from his own party over his deal with Iran. Is this a win for Democrats? Democratic strategist James Carville gives his perspective.

On Wednesday, we learned that Luigi Mangione’s defense attorneys would argue that Mangione acted under “extreme emotional disturbance” when he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A day later, Mangione’s attorneys abandoned that approach. Does Mangione care more about what his supporters think of him than his own defense? Defense attorney Mark Geragos joins CUOMO to discuss the change in Mangione’s legal strategy.

Once the deal with Iran was struck, gas prices began to fall. On Thursday, they dropped below four dollars a gallon for the first time since March. That is still well above the price before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Former Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and NewsNation Political Editor Chris Stirewalt discuss whether gas prices will fall enough before November to help Republicans ahead of the midterms.

Ukraine launched its largest attack on Moscow since the start of the war, with nearly 200 drones targeting the capital and striking the region’s largest fuel supplier. President Zelenskyy says the attack was designed to force Putin to the negotiating table, but will it work? Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor and former Special Adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Dan Rice break down the latest developments.

Thirty-nine-year-old South Carolina personal trainer Elena Moore disappeared a week ago after leaving the gym. On Wednesday, a body believed to be Moore’s was found in a wooded area. An investigation is underway, but some are already suggesting it was a suicide due to concerns about Moore’s mental health. Her close friend, Sondra Campbell, believes that Moore’s husband, a former police officer who is now a private investigator, may be involved. Sondra Campbell and former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discuss.
