Kevin O’Leary and Matt Taibbi on Power, Money, and What’s Breaking America
Sun Feb 08 2026
Chris Cuomo highlights key moments from this week’s Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM, bringing together two conversations that cut through noise and ideology.
Kevin O’Leary joins to break down the reality of the U.S. economy beneath the headlines — from tariffs and affordability to why small businesses are getting squeezed while markets stay near record highs. Cuomo presses O’Leary on whether Trump’s policies are helping everyday Americans or quietly undercutting the very entrepreneurs they depend on heading into the midterms.
Independent journalist Matt Taibbi follows with a wide-ranging discussion on press freedom, political instability, and the dangerous incentives driving modern media. Taibbi explains why journalists don’t have special rights under the law — and why that makes government pressure on reporters even more alarming — while Cuomo challenges both parties on escalation, outrage economics, and leadership failures fueling national instability.
Callers also dive into press freedom, the arrest of Don Lemon, and growing concern over how far the government can go before journalism itself is treated as a crime.
