Piers Morgan Uncensored

An influential group of Israeli historians have argued for decades that the country was forged in violence - that the original displacement of 700,000 Palestinians was not an accident of chaos, but deliberate ethnic cleansing. This viewpoint deeply challenges Israel’s founding narrative as a desperate underdog seeking fairness and peace. In this episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, two opposing titans of historical and political debat - Simon Sebag Montefiore (author of 'The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East') and international relations scholar Avi Shlaim - discuss their opposing worldviews and how they continue to shape today's conflicts, from the events of October 7th to the escalating war involving Iran. Plus, as President Trump threatens an “economic D-Day” and both sides talk up the return to all-out war, we break down the latest developments in Tehran and across the Middle East, also joined by Tehran University’s Professor Mohammad Marandi.

From the Doomsday Clock inching closer to midnight to fears over nuclear war, chemical weapons, artificial intelligence and escalating conflicts across Europe and the Middle East, the possibility of global catastrophe has returned to the centre of public debate. After decades of relative peace and rising prosperity, the world is facing its highest number of armed conflicts since the end of the Second World War. Nuclear powers are testing old boundaries, new technologies are creating unprecedented risks, and even the people developing AI are warning about its potential dangers. So how close is the world to disaster - and what could actually trigger it? Piers Morgan is joined by game theorist known as 'Professor Jiang', Jiang Xueqin, author of the new book ‘Biological War: A Scenario’, Annie Jacobsen, and historian & professor of strategic studies, Phillips O’Brien, to discuss. After all the talk of apocalypse and global catastrophe, Piers then interviews viral sensation Tori Cannarelli, the owner of Barley, a golden retriever struggling with depression, and Louis - a duck who has become his constant companion and helped him back to his old self.

Is Donald Trump the next James Bond? The US President says he pulled off a covert exit from the G8 summit in Turkey, slipping out of Air Force One in a hydraulic catering container to avoid a potential threat. It’s a move straight out of a spy thriller - and Piers Morgan has thoughts on the “shaken, not stirred” tactics that potentially left the press in a precarious position. Also discussed in this episode of Uncensored; the surprising revelation from 23-year-old Greta Thunberg, who recently named none other than Piers as her greatest inspiration, the rise of socialist Democrats and new and emboldened rhetoric around Chairman Mao.

Abdul El-Sayed is the latest Democratic candidate to face a massive political onslaught from Republicans, but is he the future of the party? Piers Morgan dissects the intensifying culture wars, from Donald Trump’s "two Americas" rhetoric to Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s controversial “Trojan horse” accusations regarding Muslims in public office. As political energy reaches a boiling point, Piers speaks to veteran Democratic strategist James Carville about the influence of figures like Hasan Piker, the viral 9/11 comment debate, and whether the Democratic party is shifting toward new voices like AOC and Zohran Mamdani - or clinging to its traditional roots. The panel also debates whether the party has the stomach for the same "podcast bro" coalition strategy that defined Trump's 2024 campaign; joining us is The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, comedian and Part of the Problem host Dave Smith, PBD podcast’s Vincent Oshana and former DNC fundraiser Lindy Li.

As violence in the occupied West Bank continues to escalate, one of the most influential figures in Israel's settler movement joins the programme. The interview follows a diplomatic clash between Israel and Spain after Israeli officials criticised Madrid over a surge of migrants crossing from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused Spain of hypocrisy, saying it should explain why it still maintains "colonial enclaves" in Africa before criticising Israel. The exchange reignited debate over competing claims of colonialism. Israel and the United States recognise Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, a territory whose status remains disputed internationally, while Israel itself faces sustained international criticism over the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Against that backdrop, attention has increasingly focused on the settlement movement and its growing influence within Israeli politics. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has repeatedly voiced support for expanding settlements and has also called for Israelis to resettle Gaza. In tonight’s Uncensored, Piers Morgan is joined by founder of the Nachala settler movement, Daniella Weiss, Palestinian Christian pastor Munther Isaac, author and political scientist, Norman Finkelstein, historian and professor Benny Morris, to discuss. (00:00) Introduction (02:10) Daniella Weiss joins Piers to discuss the on-going settler violence against Palestinians (03:03) Is a Jewish life is worth the same as a Palestinian life (10:00) Amnesty International says Israel created a campaign of ethnic cleansing Palestinians (19:36) Palestinian Christian Pastor Munther Isaac reacts to Daniella Weiss’ interview (21:21) The crimes of Israel (23:34) Munther Isaac’s comments during his interview with Tucker Carlson (27:42) Norman Finkelstein and Benny Morris debate settler colonialism in the West Bank (38:00) Piers asks Norman about Ghazi Hamad’s comments about Hamas crimes (46:14) Did Hamas weaponise sexual violence?

The stakes could hardly be higher as the US heads towards the midterm elections, with President Trump's political future and legislative agenda hanging in the balance. The outcome will determine whether Republicans can maintain control of Congress and shape the race to succeed Trump, while growing tensions within the MAGA movement raise fresh questions about the future of his coalition. Much of the political conversation has focused on the so-called "MAGA civil war" over Iran, but another battle is unfolding on the left. More than 35 Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have defeated moderate Democrats in primary races, signalling the growing influence of the party's progressive wing. Led by figures including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, the movement is reshaping the Democratic Party - but not without fierce opposition from within. Meanwhile, Democrats are grappling with the rising influence of the party's progressive wing, as figures including Zohran Mamdani and Hasan Piker divide opinion. Republicans are also facing scrutiny over controversial Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx following his primary victory. With both parties backing increasingly polarising candidates, the question remains whether American politics is moving further away from the centre and what that could mean for the country's future. Piers Morgan is joined by Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, Victor Marx, Democratic Socialist candidate in South Florida, Oliver Larkin, former national press secretary to Bernie Sanders, Briahna Joy Gray, former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, and former Republican congressman and presidential candidate, Joe Walsh to discuss. (01:00) Introduction (01:45) Is Victor Marx an exorcist? (08:16) Why did Marx’s website remove non-profit stats? (14:53) Was he forced to behead a cat at the age of three?

Can science create life from scratch? A new study claiming to have produced self-growing, self-replicating blobs using entirely lab-made DNA has reignited one of science's biggest debates. If confirmed, the breakthrough could reshape our understanding of biology and raise profound philosophical and religious questions about the origins of life. Leading scientists weigh whether the research truly brings humanity closer to creating life in a laboratory or whether the claims overstate the significance of the findings. The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence also comes under scrutiny following reports that advanced AI models allegedly found unexpected ways to bypass testing restrictions and access the internet, prompting renewed concerns over AI safety, transparency and regulation. Against the backdrop of Elon Musk's optimistic vision for AI's future, experts debate whether these developments represent extraordinary progress or a warning that the technology is advancing faster than it can be controlled. Joining Uncensored to debate all of this is Professor Lee Cronin, Dr James Tour, tech entrepreneur & CEO of Foundation Future Industries, Sankaet Pathak, philosopher of existential risk, Nick Bostrom, and leading A.I safety expert, Dr. Roman Yampolskiy.

President Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelensky and Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House as tensions with Iran continue to escalate, raising fresh questions about the prospect of a wider regional conflict. The discussions come after Trump publicly rejected Netanyahu's claims about Iran's nuclear activity, while Ukraine's role in US strategic planning appears to be growing. The latest developments follow Iran's missile strike on a US base in Jordan, with Washington now weighing its response. Meanwhile, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr Anthony Fauci faces renewed political scrutiny, despite receiving a presidential pardon, as an extraordinary Senate hearing fuels speculation over whether Republicans could still pursue legal action. On tonight's Uncensored, Piers Morgan is joined by counselor to the US president, Peter Navarro, followed by a panel of senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, Jonathan Conricus, former CIA officer & author of the new book: “The Ultimate Guide to CIA Skills, Tactics, and Techniques”, John Kiriakou, host of the Scott Horton Show, Scott Horton, and chief strategist of the Middle East Forum, Jim Hanson, to discuss.

Is social media now the true battleground for modern conflict? From Iran using Lego to troll American adversaries, to Donald Trump using platforms to announce ceasefires and threaten conflict, the digital landscape has become a chaotic front line. In this episode, Piers Morgan dives into how the Iran War is escalating beyond the physical realm, with shifting alliances and high-stakes propaganda wins. He also looks at the massive U-turn by right-wing influencers who are rethinking their stance on Ukraine, and ask whether social media - while entertaining - is distorting our perception of reality. Plus we examine Elon Musk’s approach to his critics and his influence on Western civilization in a heated exchange from The Economist. All the above is discussed with CEO of X Strategies and Trump social media advisor Alex Bruesewitz, Zeteo News founder Mehdi Hasan and Republican candidate for Governor of California Steve Hilton. Check out the California Governor race odds on Polymarket US: https://app.polymarket.us/S8ac/PIERS50  Piers also exclusively speaks to Mattea Petrescu, the former spokeswoman for Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, about why she decided to stop working for them.

President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have confirmed they will not block the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK, where they face 59 serious charges, including sexual assault and sex trafficking. The decision is a significant setback for the Tate brothers, as they rely on the argument that the charges against them are politically motivated to secure U.S. intervention. Joseph McBride, the attorney for the brothers, has been actively portraying them as political prisoners, making a direct appeal for the President’s empathy. The situation has sparked intense debate among conservatives regarding the movement's association with the Tates. While Andrew Tate maintains a vocal following and strong support for Donald Trump, his public profile - including his history of provocative statements - has left many questioning whether the movement’s values are being compromised. Is the Tate case truly a form of "lawfare," or are these serious criminal allegations that must be allowed to play out in court? Piers Morgan speaks to Matt Jury, the lawyer representing the alleged victims in the UK, before examining the implications of this extradition for the conservative right and the wider questions of principle vs. political alliance with Michael Knowles, Adam Sosnick and Pearl Davis. He also speaks to Dr Phil for his insight. (00:00) Introduction (04:53) Tate prosecution lawyer Matt Jury (09:10) Should the Tates do a life sentence?

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has insisted that the country's nuclear programme is "not up for negotiation" and says it never was, dismissing the idea that pressure from President Donald Trump or the United States will force Tehran to change course. In a rare and revealing interview, Araghchi argues that threats and military pressure do not work on Iran, saying the country's leadership has endured decades of conflict and is not afraid of further confrontation. He also rejects the prospect of trading away Iran's uranium enrichment programme, describing it as something that is "not for sale." His remarks come as President Trump reiterates his claim that the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz and signals a tougher approach towards Tehran, saying Washington's objective has shifted from stopping Iran's enrichment programme to ending it altogether. With US strikes on Iran and the ceasefire appearing increasingly fragile, the prospect of renewed diplomacy looks more uncertain than ever. The programme examines whether negotiations are still possible, what both sides hope to achieve, and what the latest escalation could mean for the wider region. Piers Morgan is joined by author & journalist, Michael Wolff, Senior Editor-at-large of  Newsweek Josh Hammer, host of Channel Five, Andrew Callaghan, Guardian Angels founder and former NYC mayoral candidate, Curtis Sliwa, and former US combat pilot aka Max Afterburner, Ryan Bodenheimer, to discuss.
