  • Graham Hancock on Pyramids, Atlantis & God

    38:23|
    The British writer Graham Hancock, has had a great deal of pejorative terms affixed to his name; chiefly among them are pseudoarchaeologist and psuedohistorian. But Hancock doesn't claim to be in possession of any special knowledge, merely that he is fascinated by the questions science and history struggle to answer. His vast knowledge on the intricacies of the Egyptian pyramids, to his mind, only makes one more sure that we don't fully understand them.Tonight, Piers Morgan holds Hancock to account, who in turn, deftly backs up his position that humanity has much more to learn.They discuss history, god, spirits and more.
  • Netflix’s ‘Polo’ FLOPS! Disney BACKTRACKS! Hollywood IN DECLINE!

    32:15|
    With the end of the year fast approaching, a final analysis of the latest cultural offerings is in order. There are multiple topics to sift through; from the Netflix docu-series ‘Polo’ from Prince Harry’s production company, which is being panned as incredibly unrelatable, to the news that Disney has cut a trans storyline from their animated series ‘Win Or Lose’. The discussion even spills into politics, as the panel floats the idea that woke hollywood actors are losing their grip on the hearts and minds of American voters.Joining this dissection of entertainment news are YouTubers Nerdrotic and the Critical Drinker, along with Author of The Case for Cancel Culture Ernest Owens and Uncensored contributor Esther Krakue.

She arrives at her first in-studio Uncensored Interview to Piers Morgan's wide open arms; a far throw from their first icy encounter. Owens has a lot to update Piers on, including her opinions on Israel's wanton destruction of Gaza, the state of the US healthcare system, and the festering rot of perversion that feeds on the egos of Hollywood's elite.To wrap up what becomes a deeply intellectual exchange, Piers treats Owens to a quintessentially British Christmas tradition; Christmas crackers.
  • Young Turks SHOWDOWN With Dave Rubin & Cenk Uygur! Plus Lauren Boebert Interview

    01:17:52|
    Free speech and debate are considered to be the cornerstones of the American way of life, and working against it is something no savvy political operator would ever consider. Perhaps this is why the Democratic Party seems so lost. Many people who supported the party in the recent past have since come out with stories that reveal a palpable intolerance amongst both Democrat voters and the establishment for simply asking questions. Is this why progressives like Cenk Uygur have such a visceral dislike for ex-lefties like Dave Rubin?For a spirited discussion on the decline of the Democrat Party, and the immediate future of American politics, Piers Morgan is joined by host of The Rubin Report Dave Rubin, founder and CEO of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur, host of Part of the Problem Dave Smith, host of the Amala Ekpunobi Podcast Amala Ekpunobi and Democratic National Committee finance member Lindy Li.
  • "He is a WAR CRIMINAL” Israel-Hamas Latest

    01:04:31|
    Over the past 12 months, the status quo in the Middle East has been utterly destroyed, and a new, more dangerous situation on the ground has emerged. While bullets fly and bombs drop, the state that has consistently made gains has been Israel, no doubt due to its support from the West. The Jewish state has seen its enemies in Palestine and Syria evaporate, while simultaneously weakening Iran. This begs the question, has Israel basically won?To discuss the continuing conflicts and the future of the region, Piers Morgan engages with a plethora of minds keenly focused on the subject of Israel. These are General Secretary and co-founder of the Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa Barghouti, former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus, co-host of the ‘Useful Idiots’ podcast Aaron Maté, Iranian academic Mohammad Marandi and father of former Hamas hostage Emily Hand, Thomas Hand.

Now, Aspinall has his crosshairs drawn on one man; UFC Legend Jon Jones.Aspinall sits down with Piers Morgan for a deep dive into his upbringing, family, passions and beliefs. He courts controversy when he claims that Jon Jones’ multiple failed drug tests make him a cheat, and when Piers asks him whether a bout between the two titans is on the cards, he responds "it's happening”.

In Tonight’s Uncensored, Morgan and Thiel plunge into a sea of topics; from politics and democracy to science and technology. Our advice to viewers would be; put your thinking caps on and strap in.
