- 🎭 He highlights hypocrisy from both the media and the left, who are seeking "scalps" but won't get them.
- 🎯 The Trump folks are perceived as preferring this fight over addressing other issues, using it as a shield.
Media and Reporter Hypocrisy

- 📑 He contrasts the Signal leak with instances of classified information mishandling by Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
- 🎭 The narrative is framed as Democrats and media fabricating and disseminating a misinformation campaign, calling it a "witch hunt."
Shifting Focus to Real Issues
- 🚗 Cuomo proposes focusing on substantive issues like the 25% tariff on foreign cars and its impact on inflation and jobs.
- 🇺🇸 He criticizes Trump for hypocrisy on defense spending, adding billions while campaigning on cuts, and for his focus on cutting the federal workforce over the DoD.
- 📉 The disparity in government spending between non-defense civilian employees and the defense department is highlighted as a critical area for debate.
- 💉 Cuomo points to the decision to cut funding for vaccines for children abroad, potentially leading to millions of deaths, as a significant issue being ignored.
