  • "Go to HELL!” Jordan Peterson On Trump, Putin & More

    53:45|
    There are very few people walking the earth today who can claim to have engaged the minds of millions in the way that Jordan Peterson has; and his influence isn’t based on political power or obscene wealth, but his diamond-cut intellect. Having garnered notoriety from his decidedly anti-mainstream takes on news and culture, Peterson has been tempered by the fires of public opinion and left stronger than ever.That isn’t to say however that the man is made from stone, and when the conversation turns to his father, and by extension fatherhood, Peterson has no shame in letting the tears flow. Together, he and Piers Morgan conjure up a meaty dialogue on Trump, America, family and God.
  • US Missiles Fired As Putin Threatens WW3 - Feat Benny Johnson

    43:00|
    On Monday, Ukraine used western long range missiles inside the territory of Russia for the first time, prompting a slew of both cheers and jeers throughout the world. Some people are happy that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are taking the fight to their enemy’s soil, others are terrified that Putin will finally make good on his endless threats, and use a nuclear weapon. While virtually no one is doubting the bravery of the Ukrainian people, or the evil of the Russian dictator, many are questioning just how long the west can continue to become involved in the wars of other nations.In this explosive debate, Piers Morgan brings together host of The Benny Show Benny Johnson, former United States Air Force veteran and YouTuber Jake Broe, author of ‘Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War With Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine’ Scott Horton and Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt.

    54:47|
    The times they are a’changing, and with Donald Trump’s upcoming ascension to the highest office in the most powerful nation on earth they will be a’changing quite rapidly. Will Trump’s actual behaviour be different even if his MAGA policies stay consistent? Will he be more predictable? Could he be one of the greatest of all time? His policies will affect people inside and outside America in a variety of ways, and naturally, not everyone is happy about that.For a spirited debate on what the future holds, from a varied set of perspectives, Piers Morgan turns to co-founder of Blaze Media Glenn Beck, host of the Amala Ekpunobi Show Amala Ekpunobi, host of The Luke Beasley Show Luke Beasley, co-host of the Majority Report Emma Vigeland and conservative commentator Debra Lea for their passionate, and somewhat loud opinions.
  • What Went Wrong For The Democrats? With Kyle Kulinski, Cenk Uygur & Harry Sisson

    56:50|
    While Republicans are sunning themselves in the warm glow of their triumph, ushering in the comeback term of Donald Trump, Democratic politicians, activists and voters are currently stumbling around in the dark. Their post mortem of the Kamala Harris campaign hasn’t yielded any solid answers yet, and the disunity amongst them betrays a deeper problem. In this special Blue Vs Blue edition of Uncensored, Dems, liberals and progressives get their chance to discuss what went wrong, what they should do now, and evidently, get some things off their chests.Piers Morgan is joined on Uncensored today by host & founder of “The Young Turks” Cenk Uygur, presidential historian & pollster Allan Lichtman, TikTok Democrat influencer Harry Sisson, senior political analyst for FOX News Juan Williams, political commentator & host of The Kyle Kulinski Show Kyle Kulinski and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner.
  • Trump picks RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard & Matt Gaetz

    01:22:43|
    Donald Trump’s cabinet picks can be seen as a harbinger of his second term’s future, and everyone in the political sphere is making their predictions. While no one in MAGA is jumping ship, some of the announcements have left even Republicans wincing in discomfort. Matt Gaetz nomination for attorney general? RFK Jr for Secretary of Health? Will these candidates make it through the Senate or are they too tainted in scandals and conspiracies?For a breakdown of Trump’s incoming team, and an analysis of who they will help or hurt, Piers Morgan brings former Chief White House Ethics Lawyer under George W Bush Richard W Painter, host of “Part Of The Problem Podcast” Dave Smith, Commentator and Content Creator Vincent Oshana, Fitness Guru who voted Trump Jillian Michaels, former Congressman and former candidate for President Joe Walsh and Pro-Palestine Commentator Omar Baddar onto Uncensored.
  • “America Rejected Hollywood” With Nerdrotic And Tomi Lahren

    48:15|
    From George Clooney to Eminem, the endorsement of a famous singer, athlete or actor used to be something politicians craved, knowing that a sprinkle of stardust could supercharge their visibility and likeability. But the 2024 US election has upended a variety of conventions analysts once held dear, and the support of a superstar no longer seems to translate to a boost in the polls. In fact, some are saying that Kamala Harris’ campaign might actually have suffered from its proximity to Hollywood.Did the fawning of actors and musicians make Kamala seem out of touch? Did she just get the wrong people while Trump courted rightwing media darlings? All these questions will be answered by Piers Morgan and his guests; content creator Nerdrotic, Uncensored contributor Esther Krakue, content creator and writer The Critical Drinker, Author of The Case for Cancel Culture Ernest Owens, former senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris Mike Nellis and host of Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick Tomi Lahren.
  • What Will Foreign Policy Look Like Under Trump? Feat Clay Travis

    52:02|
    The day of Donald Trump’s inauguration is crawling ever closer, and with each passing day the American people, and the world at large, gets an ever-widening glimpse into what the second term of President Trump will bring. On top of some surprising selections that have already been announced, Matt Gaetz is apparently the frontrunner for Attorney General, and Stephen Miller will be returning to the White House as Deputy Chief of Staff.These choices seem to be clearly aligned with Trump’s most basic belief of 'America first' - but to properly analyse what the future holds, Piers Morgan invites former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under Trump, Elbridge Colby, former US Ambassador to the EU under Trump, Gordon Sondland, co-host of the 'Democracy-Ish Podcast' Wajahat Ali, broadcaster and influencer Emily Austin, founder of Outkick Clay Travis and journalist with 'The Greyzone News' Aaron Maté onto Uncensored.
  • US Politics - Dave Rubin vs David Pakman, Featuring Brian Tyler-Cohen & Lindy Li

    57:08|
    Donald Trump’s staff picks for his upcoming administration have begun to be announced, raising more than a few eyebrows on either side of the political spectrum. Former adversaries such as Marc Rubio are set to enter Trump’s employ, along with veteran and Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth and former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.Suffice it to say, the team Trump is building appears to be a broad church, which makes it even more difficult for his detractors to label him as a chauvinist bigot; though of course, they still try. Coming onto Uncensored today is host of 'The Rubin Report' Dave Rubin, host of 'The David Pakman Show' David Pakman, host of 'No Lie with Brian Tyler-Cohen' Brian Tyler-Cohen, podcast and radio host Ben Ferguson, Democratic activist Brianna Wu and member of DNC Finance Committee Lindy Li.
  • “Just A BRAZEN Antisemite!” Piers Morgan CALLS OUT Dan Bilzerian

    33:39|
    Poker player, businessman and social media influencer Dan Bilzerian seems to find success, whatever he pursues. Young men throughout the world flocked to his Instagram page, hoping some of his hedonistic escapades might somehow make their way through their phone screens. However, the multi-millionaire is not the same man he was 10 years ago, leaving his playboy lifestyle behind for marriage.In his own words, Bilzerian "longer gives a sh*t". He has come out as a fierce critic of not just Israel, but Judaism. In this shocking interview, Piers Morgan finds himself vehemently challenging the things he's hearing, that swing wildly from legitimate concern for the people of Gaza, to outright, debunked, antisemitic conspiracy theories. It's not called Uncensored for nothing...
