Piers Morgan Uncensored

As Middle East tensions escalate on multiple fronts and Congress votes again to end the Iran War, political friction has spilled over into pop culture. Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour after shouting "Free Palestine" on stage - a move triggered by Patriots owner Robert Kraft banning him from Gillette Stadium.

With supporting acts quitting in protest and Sheeran facing intense backlash, Piers Morgan dives into the chaos, asking who is really to blame and whether silencing artists ever actually works.

Joining him is The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian, Democracy-ish host Wajahat Ali, former Republican congressman Joe Walsh and Yemen-born journalist and activist Luai Ahmed.

We’re also joined by former Israeli Prime Ministers Ehud Olmert and Naftali Bennett.

Did Benjamin Netanyahu receive direct advance warning of the catastrophic October 7th attacks? Piers Morgan Uncensored examines a bombshell report from Haaretz claiming the UAE Prime Minister personally warned Netanyahu one week prior to the attack about a terrifying operation poised to destabilise the region.

As former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett asserts Netanyahu bears "personal and direct responsibility," intense scrutiny turns to the shocking six-hour military delay during the onslaught. Was it catastrophic failure, or something far more sinister?

One year on from the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, conversations in the media have continued to swirl around the circumstances of his death. From theories that the shooter was tied to a higher power, to questions surrounding the role his widow Erika Kirk has played in driving Turning Point USA forward, many questions still remain over the shocking murder.

One of those asking the most questions about the death - and Erika Kirk’s handling of losing her husband and the father of her children - is political commentator Candace Owens. She has been publicly critical of Erika, suggesting that she may know more about Charlie’s death than she is letting on. Candace was also a close friend of Charlie, saying that the pair spoke frequently before his death.

Joining this special episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored is Turning Point spokesman and Charlie Kirk’s friend Andrew Kolvet; host of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly; as well as a panel consisting of The Crucible host Andrew Wilson, former US Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, who was involved in the operation that killed Osama bin Laden, Brandon Tatum, aka The Officer Tatum, and Turning Point fundraiser and close friend of Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens, John Mappin.

Finally, we are joined by the infamous Nancy Grace, host of Crime Stories, to discuss the Kirk assassination, the conspiracy theories surrounding his death, and, finally, the Lindsay Clancy trial, which concluded in a mistrial.

The UK has sanctioned Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians, triggering a fierce backlash from some of Israel’s strongest supporters, including US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee has accused the British government of “Jew hate” while acknowledging that Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is Jewish. Britain’s Chief Rabbi has also described the sanctions as a “dark day for British Jews.”

The controversy has reignited debate over the distinction between criticism of the Israeli government and antisemitism, with critics warning against conflating the actions of the Israeli state with Jewish people worldwide.

The UK government has condemned what it describes as violence and “ethnic cleansing” by extremist settlers, while Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are considered illegal under international law.

With settlement expansion continuing under Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the sanctions have intensified questions over Britain’s response to settler violence - and whether opposition to Israeli government policy is being unfairly portrayed as hostility towards Jews.

Piers Morgan is joined by spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Doron Spielman, former Israeli ambassador to Canada, Ambassador Alan Baker, US-Israeli journalist Emily Schrader, author & host of the Owen Jones podcast, Owen Jones, and Palestinian-American journalist, Omar Baddar.
