Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly exploded at NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Wednesday after Cuomo delivered a brutal fact-check on air.
The two men squabbled over recent comments from IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi about Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Grossi recently reported that Iran had up to 60% enriched uranium, but that the IAEA was never able to go in and verify the claim. O’Reilly accused Cuomo of taking Grossi’s comments out of context, and Cuomo fired back.
Cuomo read from his previous statement about Iran’s nuclear capabilities, explaining that the Iranian regime had several more “complex” steps to go through until it would have a functioning atomic bomb.
“That’s the context!” Cuomo exclaimed.
O’Reilly became agitated and told Cuomo he could “believe what you want to believe.”
That’s when things got heated.
“Just say you were corrected and let’s move on,” Cuomo said.
“I’m not going to say that because it wouldn’t be true. You made the mistake!” O’Reilly shot back.
“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” Cuomo said.
“Well, keep quiet for just a moment!” O’Reilly said sharply.
“No, it’s my show pal! You don’t like it? You can go,” Cuomo said.
Cuomo: Just say you were corrected and let’s move on. O’Reilly: I’m not going to say that because it wouldn’t be true. You made the mistake. Cuomo: No, I did not make a mistake. O’Reilly: Keep quiet Cuomo: No, it’s my show pal. You don’t like it? You can go. pic.twitter.com/yElP5EV6UT — Acyn (@Acyn) April 9, 2026
