Piers Morgan Uncensored

The political fallout from the war with Iran is creating some unlikely alliances.

Figures as different as Tucker Carlson, Mehdi Hasan, Megyn Kelly and Cenk Uygur are all making strikingly similar arguments: that Donald Trump campaigned against foreign wars only to lead the United States into one. Many also believe Benjamin Netanyahu's government played a decisive role in the push for military action against Iran and have come under fierce criticism for saying so.

Meanwhile, fresh scrutiny is falling on Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees. Following allegations of abuse in Israeli custody and renewed controversy surrounding National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a growing debate is emerging over whether one of Israel's most polarising politicians is a rogue actor or a reflection of something deeper within a country hardened by decades of conflict.

Piers Morgan is joined by political scientist and activist Norman Finkelstein, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, Gaza flotilla detainees Catriona Graham and Alex Colston, and former Ben-Gvir adviser Yishai Fleisher.

The political lines are blurring and the fallout is getting harder to ignore…

Breaking developments in the Middle East take centre stage as Iran pulls out of talks with the United States following Israel's escalating military action in Lebanon. Strange new alliances are forming around opposition to war with Iran, as figures from across the political spectrum find themselves making remarkably similar arguments about Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and America's role in the conflict.

Cenk Uygur and Shabbos Kestenbaum join to debate under extraordinary circumstances. With Cenk due to travel to London for a series of public appearances, including a debate in the studio, before British authorities revoked his permission to enter the country. He says he was told he represents a "serious risk to public order" because of his views on Israel.

Is Britain is crossing a dangerous line between combating extremism and censoring political dissent?

Piers then speaks to leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch, to discuss Trump, Iran, Israel, Starmer, Mandelson, free speech and faith in a candid interview.

Deny, deflect and delay was the standard policy of the IDF in Gaza whenever there were claims of tragic accidents or crimes.
First they’d deny all knowledge, before flooding the zone with reasons to blame somebody else. Then they’d promise an investigation with an outcome to be published - some day.
Now the Trump administration and the US military is accused of doing exactly the same thing about the missile strike which destroyed an Iranian school - killing many children - almost three full months ago.
Is the often-repeated claim that Iranian forces killed 40,000 civilians justification for this war?
Piers Morgan discusses with author Scott Horton, former air force combat pilot Ryan Bodenheimer, AKA Max Afterburner, Pulitzer prize-winning investigative journalist at the New York Times Malachy Browne and Christiaan Triebert from the New York Times visual investigations team.

Thomas Massie’s bruising defeat last night was widely framed as proof that President Trump still has total control of the Republican Party.

But critics argue the bigger question is who really has influence over Trump. Pro-Israel donors and lobbying groups reportedly spent more than $15 million to defeat Massie, with millions linked to AIPAC.

Massie was never known as a leading critic of Israel. Allies say his real offence was challenging the influence of lobbyists and billionaire donors over Republican leadership and US foreign policy. Now, with Massie sidelined, divisions inside MAGA are deepening.

Has Trump tightened his grip on the movement — or has the donor class tightened its grip on Trump?

Meanwhile, outrage is growing after three people were killed in a suspected terror attack at San Diego’s largest mosque.

The attack has intensified scrutiny of anti-Muslim rhetoric in politics following recent comments from Republican figures and a controversial post from Trump ally Laura Loomer targeting mosque attendees.

Critics say the question now is whether inflammatory political rhetoric is beginning to have deadly consequences...

Piers Morgan is joined by senior counsel of the Article 3 Project, Will Chamberlain, Host of System Update, Glenn Greenwald, founder of Outkick!, Clay Travis and former Republican strategist and speechwriter, Buckley Carlson to discuss.

Piers then speaks to founder of Zeteo, Mehdi Hasan about the mosque attack in San Diego.
