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.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach found himself in the middle of a firestorm this week after confronting an Icelandic couple who interrupted his vacation on the volcanic island. Shmuley says Samuel Gudmundsson posed as a fan seeking a selfie before surprising him with a political message - 'f*** Israel.' The rabbi posted a video of himself following Gudmundsson and his girlfriend through the streets of Reykjavík, accusing them of antisemitism and vowing to press charges. However, Shmuley’s vigilante gambit has largely backfired in the court of public opinion. The pair meet again on Uncensored to hash it out - plus Piers Morgan is joined by Steven Crowder to talk fascism, Candace Owens vs Andrew Wilson and more.

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. Featured; Wajahat Ali, Elijah Schaffer, Joanne Carducci and Tyrus - plus Victor Davis-Hanson and neo-Maoist historian & author Professor Mobo Gao.

President Trump unveiled his Gaza deal with sweeping claims of a historic breakthrough - including the complete disarmament of Hamas and an Israeli military withdrawal. But the plan is already facing major obstacles. Israel has rejected key elements of the proposal, while deadly Israeli strikes continue across Gaza and the IDF retains control over large parts of the territory. Nearly a year after the ceasefire, around 70 per cent of Gaza’s surviving population reportedly cannot return home - either because their homes are inaccessible or no longer exist. With Israel restricting the entry of heavy machinery needed to clear the rubble, the full death toll remains unknown. At the same time, Trump’s vision for Gaza’s redevelopment looks increasingly difficult to achieve. The political consequences are spreading beyond the Middle East. With the 2026 US midterms approaching, a new generation of Democratic politicians has made Gaza and US policy toward Israel a major issue with liberal voters. Polling suggests public opinion on Israel is shifting across party lines, while the Iran War has further damaged Trump’s approval ratings. Piers Morgan is joined by political commentator and author Owen Jones, whose new book is The Fall of the West, and Newsweek senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer, to debate Trump’s Gaza plan, the future of Israel and Palestine - and what it all means for the future of US politics.

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.

The debate over transgender athletes in women's sport has returned to the spotlight after WNBA player Sophie Cunningham defended her support for restricting transgender women from competing in women's sports. Cunningham faced criticism after telling ESPN she believes transgender athletes should not compete in women's sports in order to protect opportunities for female athletes. Despite a backlash online and hostile receptions from some crowds, she has stood by her comments, saying, "I said what I said," and describing her position as "common sense." The controversy has reignited a wider debate over fairness, inclusion and safety in women's sport. Critics have accused Cunningham of discrimination, while supporters argue that protecting female sporting categories is compatible with supporting the rights and dignity of transgender people. As governing bodies around the world continue to review eligibility rules for transgender athletes, the debate over fairness, inclusion and the future of women's sport shows little sign of fading. Piers Morgan is joined by tennis and female sports legend Martina Navratilova, transgender commentator Blaire White, comedian and commentator Jeff Dye, sports commentator Andrea Richmond and pro-trans activist Helen Webberley to to debate one of the most contentious issues in modern sport.

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?

Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary is being hailed as a major breakthrough for the party's progressive wing after he defeated a heavily funded opponent backed by pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC. The upset is expected to fuel an already fierce debate over the future direction of the Democratic Party ahead of the US midterm elections. As progressives celebrate the result, Republicans are casting the race as a warning about the growing influence of socialism and the far left, arguing that candidates like El-Sayed represent a dramatic shift in Democratic politics. With Republicans facing mounting criticism over the economic impact of an increasingly unpopular Iran War, questions are growing over whether those attacks will resonate with voters - or whether President Trump risks being undone by the same anti-establishment politics that helped propel him to power. Piers Morgan is joined by Republican Senator Rand Paul, OutKick founder Clay Travis, conservative commentator Carrie Prejean Boller, Democratic strategist and Endless Urgency host Mike Nellis, Palestinian-American commentator Omar Baddar, and independent journalist and conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley to discuss where American politics is heading.

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?

President Trump says the US has postponed what he described as its largest military operation since World War II, claiming the decision followed direct appeals from Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Iran. He insists a new deal is within reach, despite growing criticism that the delay has weakened America's negotiating position. Meanwhile, Trump's controversial "Board of Peace" claims it has secured a breakthrough agreement that would see Hamas disarm and Israel withdraw from Gaza, although Israel has yet to confirm the proposal following fresh strikes on the territory. Elsewhere, Europe is grappling with the fallout after around 60,000 migrants surged into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, triggering a political storm and renewed debate over border security and migration. Piers Morgan is joined by Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad for a tense one-on-one interview on the Israel-Gaza conflict. He is then joined by a panel featuring former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, The Young Turks founder and CEO Cenk Uygur, US Navy SEAL veteran Rob O'Neill, and retired Green Beret and Speak The Truth host Matt Tardio to debate the latest developments. Later, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joins EU lawmaker and leader of The Party is Over Alvise Pérez, alongside Revista Contexto director Miguel Mora, to discuss the political fallout from the Spain–Morocco migrant crisis.
