Jocko Willink is a former US Navy Seal, a bestselling author, a podcasting titan and a leadership expert with a lot to say about discipline. Piers Morgan last interviewed him a couple of years ago - after which a surprising number of people commented that Jocko should run for President. It’s a job he’s not after - but as the Iran war rages on and Trump’s approval ratings unravel, he might well be wondering if he could do a better job after all. He joins Uncensored again.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has arrived as one of the year's biggest blockbuster release - but instead of universal excitement, the film has ignited a fierce cultural and political debate. Critics have accused the Homer adaptation of prioritizing modern identity politics over historical authenticity, pointing to its colorblind casting and alleged feminist themes. Some have even labeled it "Snow White on steroids," arguing that Hollywood has once again reshaped a beloved classic to fit a contemporary agenda. Supporters, however, argue that great storytelling evolves with its audience and that adapting ancient myths for modern viewers is exactly what cinema should do. The controversy surrounding The Odyssey raises broader questions about historical accuracy, artistic freedom, and whether Hollywood should preserve the past or reinterpret it for the present. Piers Morgan is joined by two expert panels to debate the controversy from opposing perspectives, beginning with the historical and classical context before examining the wider cultural arguments surrounding one of the year's most anticipated films. Joining Piers are historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson, essayist and author A.N. Wilson, author and critic Daniel Mendelsohn, BET News host Marc Lamont Hill, YouTuber Gary Buechler (Nerdrotic), and YouTuber Will Jordan (The Critical Drinker). Learn more about your ad choices.

Charlie Kirk helped build the coalition that returned Donald Trump to the White House, energizing a new generation of conservative voters and uniting rival factions on the American right. His rallies and Turning Point events became a focal point for the MAGA movement, helping to project a renewed sense of confidence among young conservatives. As new court hearings reveal fresh details in the case against his alleged killer, Kirk's death has become the latest flashpoint for conspiracy theories and online speculation, despite efforts to make the legal proceedings as transparent as possible. The case has reignited wider questions about the collapse of public trust and the growing influence of social media in shaping political narratives.Kirk's political legacy continues to shape debates over the future of the Republican Party, as fractures emerge within Trump's coalition and Democrats struggle to generate comparable momentum. With suspicion increasingly defining politics on both sides of the Atlantic, questions over leadership, trust and political unity have rarely felt more pressing. Piers Morgan is joined in the Uncensored studios by Jack Posobiec plus we're joined by Brian Tyler-Cohen, Officer Tatum and Wajahat Ali. Piers also speaks to former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett about the latest developments in the Iran War and we end this episode with an interview with Australia's Karl Stefanovic as he faces the axe from the Today show after 20 years after interviewing Tommy Robinson on his podcast.

Following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the shocking murder of legendary UK MP Ann Widdecombe, political discourse has arguably hit a new, toxic low. Instead of reflection or respect, social media and the airwaves have been flooded with celebrations, tasteless jokes, and wild conspiracy theories. While many may have disagreed with Senator Graham’s politics, where is the line between political debate and moral bankruptcy? Piers Morgan addresses this increasingly fractured culture of rage with the following guests; Democratic Congressman for California Ro Khanna, Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan, former White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley and Jonathan Swan, the co-author of the new book ‘Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.’ Piers Morgan Uncensored is proudly independent and sponsored by: Mars Men - For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at Mengotomars.com 00:00 Introduction 02:30 Democratic Congressman for California Ro Khanna joins Piers 03:02 Ro Khanna on being detained by Israel in West Bank 05:00 Ro Khanna on Netanyahu’s comments and Palestinians treatment by Israelis 09:14 Ro Khanna on the current Israeli government 11:00 The aftermath of the death of Lindsey Graham & Ann Widdecombe 14:20 Trump’s latest comments on TruthSocial about the Strait of Hormuz 18:49 AD: Mars Men - For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at Mengotomars.com 19:49 Mehdi Hasan and Hogan Gidley react to Ro Khanna’s interview 27:05 What is America’s moral responsibility to the rest of the world? 28:38 Mehdi and Hogan on the US-Iran War 39:30 Mehdi Hasan and Hogan Gidley on the death of Lindsey Graham 45:18 Jonathan Swan joins Piers to discuss his new book ‘Regime Change’ 48:45 Has Trump kept his second-term policy promises? 51:50 How does the Iran War end? 53:34 Jonathan Swan on Donald Trump calling Swan’s book a ‘joke’ Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a measure of the fevered polarization in US society that even its history has become a matter of furious debate. Long before the current presidency, competing missions to redefine America’s origins plunged the past into the heart of today’s culture wars. From the 1619 project’s attempt to reframe history around the arrival of slaves, to the 1776 commission's firm counter-narrative, the battle over what should be taught in schools and preserved in museums is intensifying. On Monday, the President launched a new front in this war, releasing a report detailing serious complaints about "divisive narratives" and "liberal ideology" inside the Smithsonian Institute. But beneath the partisan squabbling, the 250th anniversary of the nation raises a darker, existential question: Is this the revolutionary republic that defeated an empire, or is it now an empire in decline? Piers Morgan is joined by a panel of distinguished historians to debate the future of the American soul: Lord Andrew Roberts, Douglas Brinkley, Roy Casagranda and Barry Strauss. 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Panel discussion begins 11:21 How does history view the progressive wave? 14:07 Is the whole premise of America founded on a lie? 16:53 Dave King’s historical works 19:02 Is Trump the most powerful person that ever lived? 23:00 America’s foreign policy since WW2 28:45 How unreliable are America’s European allies? 29:44 Netanyahu’s influence over America in the Iran war 34:20 Would Churchill have helped America if he were involved in the Iran war? 36:10 Conspiracy theories in America - will we ever find out the truth? 39:20 Who has been the greatest American President and the greatest British Monarch?

There are many legitimate unanswered questions surrounding 9/11 - the gravest terror attack in US history - but the line between rational inquiry and conspiracy theory is often razor-thin. Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters has voiced a controversial stance on the events of September 11th, 2001 and aligned himself with Matt Campbell, whose brother Geoff was killed in the attacks. They both join Piers Morgan as they pursue a landmark case in the UK Supreme Court to reopen the inquest into Geoff's death. 00:00 Introduction 01:18 Piers Morgan is joined by Roger Waters and Matt Campbell 01:33 Matt Campbell on the tragedy of his brother’s death during 9/11 03:55 The cycle of events that followed 9/11 04:45 Matt Campbell on what convinced him to secure a new inquest into his brother’s death 09:16 Roger Waters on what he thinks actually happened on 9/11 15:37 Who orchestrated 9/11? 24:40 Is Roger Waters using Matt Campbell to peddle his own conspiracies? 27:44 Why hasn’t an American whistleblower come forward if America was responsible? 29:00 Roger Waters asks for more funds towards Matt Campbell’s case 31:00 Piers Morgan challenges Roger Waters on his conspiracy theory Learn more about your ad choices.

Former City trader turned inequality campaigner Gary Stevenson has become one of the internet's most influential voices on wealth, wages and the widening gap between rich and poor. A bestselling author and self-described "Inequality Economist," Stevenson has built a huge online following by arguing that Britain's economic system is fundamentally broken. As his profile has grown, so too has the criticism. Detractors accuse Stevenson of exaggerating his success as a trader, dressing left-wing politics up as economics and profiting from a message of economic decline despite his own personal fortune. Now, with the release of his new Channel 4 documentary How To Get Filthy Rich, Stevenson is pushing one of his most controversial ideas yet: a tax on extreme wealth. The debate comes as inequality dominates political and economic discussion on both sides of the Atlantic. With stock markets reaching record highs, tech billionaires accumulating unprecedented fortunes and house prices remaining out of reach for many young people, questions about who really benefits from economic growth are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. President Donald Trump's reported $1.4 billion earnings from his digital currency business have reignited arguments over whether booming markets create prosperity for everyone—or simply make the wealthy even richer. As politicians prepare for the next election and wealth taxes return to the political agenda, the central question remains the same: does wealth eventually trickle down to everyone else - or should governments redistribute more of it through taxation? Piers Morgan is joined by former financial trader and ‘inequality economist’, Gary Stevenson, PBD podcast contributor also known as The BizDoc, Tom Ellsworth, and editorial director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kristian Niemietz, to debate. 00:00 Introduction 03:27 Gary Stevenson explains his new documentary How to Get Filthy Rich 04:18 Piers challenges Gary for ignoring generational economic shocks like Covid 08:24 Dr Kristian challenges Gary’s economic outlook on causes of growing inequality 10:40 Tom Ellsworth supports Dr Niemietz, calling for higher housing stock 14:13 Gary responds outlining why he believes billionaires are buying all our assets 17:06 Dr Kristian argues there already are substantial taxes on assets 19:45 The panel debate the politics and popularity of Zohran Mamdani 23:22 Piers tries to find out how much Gary Stevenson is worth 29:28 Gary Stevenson says Dr Kristian Niemietz is funded by billionaires for his opinion 30:39 Piers asks Gary to reveal how much he is worth 31:46 Dr Kristian argues with Gary’s over trading predictions proving his economic diagnosis 33:36 Piers outlines what policies he would implement to improve the wealth of the UK 35:55 Piers and Gary debate whether Elon Musk is a force for good 38:53 Gary reveals how much he is worth “to the nearest £5 million” 42:34 Dr Kristian discusses the downsides of green socialism and net zero 43:01 Polymarket: Who will be the next UK Chancellor? - https://polymarket.com/event/next-uk-chancellor-of-the-exchequer-in-2026-2026062100531917844:44 Does Gary redistribute his own wealth?

Benjamin Netanyahu could finally be facing the end of the road - with elections approaching, he faces difficult questions regarding the security failures leading to October 7, the Iran War, corruption charges, and a contentious ICC arrest warrant. As he plunges Israel into a constitutional crisis by refusing to abide by a Supreme Court decision on a media freedom case, critics are calling his latest move a "legal coup" and an assault on democracy. Ehud Olmert, Prime Minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009, joins Piers Morgan to discuss these explosive developments, as well as Ehud Barak, who was Prime Minister between 1999 and 2001. 00:00 Introduction 01:35 Ehud Olmert criticises Benjamin Netanyahu’s government 05:35 Netanyahu and his government’s decision to ignore Supreme Court’s ruling 09:23 The execution of the Iran War and the relationship between Israel and the US 14:03 Ehud Barak discusses Israel defying its own rule of law 15:45 What will happen if Netanyahu loses the election? 18:30 Who can repair the damage Netanyahu has done? 29:30 Piers asks Ehud Barak about his name appearing in the Epstein Files 35:25 Ehud Barak being named in the defamation case between Virginia Giuffre and Alan Dershowitz 40:20 Professor Marandi discusses the funeral procession for the late Ayatollah in Tehran 42:35 The Ayatollah’s successor missing from the funeral processions 45:20 Crowds chanting ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’ 48:00 The Iranian regime funding the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas Learn more about your ad choices.

Prince Harry has returned to the UK for a highly anticipated visit, but the trip has quickly become overshadowed by fresh controversy. Just hours after his arrival, the High Court in London ruled against the Duke of Sussex in a major privacy case involving the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday, marking a significant legal defeat. The visit had initially sparked speculation about a possible family reconciliation, with reports suggesting Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children could reunite with King Charles and other senior royals. Instead, attention has shifted to the Duke's renewed calls for taxpayer-funded security despite no longer serving as a working royal. According to reports, the Royal Family offered Harry and his family accommodation at Buckingham Palace during their stay, an offer he reportedly did not accept. At the same time, renewed debate has emerged over the security arrangements surrounding his UK visits after details of the threats he says he faces were highlighted in media coverage. With a high-profile court loss, ongoing tensions over security, and continued questions about his relationship with the Royal Family, Harry's latest return to Britain has once again placed the Duke of Sussex at the centre of headlines. Piers Morgan is joined co-host of The Royals Uncensored Katie Nicholl, who was one of the main journalists accused by Harry, author and journalist Tom Bower, host of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield, lawyer and commentator, Paula Rhone-Adrien to discuss. 00:00 Introduction 02:28 Piers is joined by his panel to discuss Prince Harry’s arrival to the UK 03:45 Katie Nicholl on her journalism being the epicentre of Harry’s legal case 11:30 Prince Harry’s legal proceedings against the Daily Mail 16:15 Accommodation and security for Prince Harry in the UK 20:30 Racism allegations against King Charles and Princess Catherine 21:55 Financial losses for the Sussexes following High Court loss 24:00 The Sussexes posting their children online 30:45 The comparison between Harry and Andrew 33:40 What will happen during Harry’s visit? 40:12 The Sussexes conducting Royal tours without being working Royals 42:02 William and Catherine doing their own thing Learn more about your ad choices.
