Piers Morgan Uncensored

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of either presidency, with barely 31 per cent of Americans believing he is doing a good job. With the US midterm elections just 13 days away, the president is facing mounting political pressure as wars in Ukraine and Iran threaten to define his administration.

Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow seeking to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But his diplomatic mission has raised eyebrows after Witkoff publicly praised Putin as a humanitarian, while Trump has once again placed the burden of ending the Ukraine war on Zelensky rather than the Russian leader who launched it.
Meanwhile, Trump is blaming Ukraine for the cost of American support, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with high fuel prices and continued conflict. Yet the pressure on energy prices is also tied to the war involving Iran, where renewed US attacks on Tehran could follow the midterm elections.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Trump’s leadership and declared that the two countries have a job to finish, fuelling concerns that the conflict could soon escalate again.
As Trump attempts to contain the political fallout from two major wars, a fragile end to the fighting in Ukraine may be approaching.
But the conflict with Iran could be entering a far more dangerous phase.
Piers Morgan is joined by Alastair Campbell plus Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute; Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum; and Will Chamberlain, host of Counterweight. Plus, General Keith Kellogg, former US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, joins the show to discuss the prospects for peace in Ukraine and the growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.

The relationship between Washington and Kyiv is entering increasingly uncertain territory, as Donald Trump’s approach to Russia raises fresh questions about the future of the war in Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan last week, President Zelensky offered a stark assessment of America’s shifting position, warning that his country risks losing the support of its most important ally.

A decision by the Trump administration to waive sanctions on Russian energy has added to concerns over the direction of US policy.

At the same time, a dispute involving Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network has opened another front in the deteriorating relationship. Zelensky has alleged that restrictions on the service left Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks, while Musk has denied responsibility. Reports about the involvement of the White House have since raised further questions about the extent of American influence over Ukraine’s military capabilities.

With tensions mounting between Zelensky and senior figures in the Trump administration, the consequences could reach well beyond the battlefield. As the United States reassesses its commitment to Kyiv, Ukraine and its European allies face difficult questions about the future of the war, the strength of the Western alliance and the price of a peace deal with Moscow.

First, Piers Morgan is joined by Elon Musk’s former girlfriend Ashley St. Clair and Alex Gibney, the director of ‘Musk’ - a film that premiered at the Venice Film Festival, to discuss his potential legal battle with the trillionaire.

Then, Piers goes head-to-head with oligarch and media entrepreneur Konstantin Malofeev and invites his panel of US air force veteran and host of Max Afterburner, Ryan Bodenheimer, retired Green Beret and host of Speak The Truth, Matt Tardio, and former US Navy intelligence officer and author of the new book “socialist revolution”, Jack Posobiec, to discuss the latest on the relationship between the US, Russia and Ukraine.

The Western world is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval, as old alliances fracture, political divisions deepen and conflict continues to reshape the global order. From President Donald Trump’s shifting approach to Russia and Ukraine to growing unrest in France, the familiar rules of international politics appear to be breaking down.

Meanwhile, the divide between interventionism and isolationism is becoming one of the defining battles in Western politics. A recent debate between Tucker Carlson and former UK Conservative minister Jacob Rees-Mogg exposed the deep disagreements over whether Western intervention abroad has protected the world order or helped create today’s instability.

With Donald Trump facing mounting political pressure and Democrats eyeing the midterm elections, the race to find the party’s next presidential standard-bearer is already taking shape.

The backlash against woke culture has reshaped the political and cultural landscape. But when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, what happens when it swings back?

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, legitimate anger at racial injustice increasingly became entangled with debates over defunding the police, racial quotas, corporate virtue signalling, white guilt and reparations. For many, the response to being told “you can’t say that” was to say precisely that — and then push even further.

Now, a new wave of self-described edgelords is testing the limits of the backlash.

Among them is Andre Williams, who has recently attracted attention through appearances on conservative podcasts and a series of viral clips defending controversial positions, including the claim that “slavery was good for black people”.

But does he genuinely believe what he says? Is he an example of the backlash against woke culture going too far, or is there something else at play?

Piers Morgan is joined by controversial commentator and influencer Andre Williams, academic and host of BET News, Marc Lamont-Hill, and Brandon Tatum, aka The Officer Tatum, to discuss.

The US midterm elections are fast approaching, and the stakes could hardly be higher for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. With polls painting a grim picture for the president, could his second term be heading towards political gridlock, scandal and even impeachment?

But polls have been wrong before, particularly when it comes to Trump. Just ask Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who famously predicted a Kamala Harris victory on this show, or Professor Allan Lichtman, whose renowned 'Keys Method' also failed to call the last presidential election correctly.

So, with the midterms looming, we're taking a different approach to predicting the outcome.

Instead of relying on traditional polling or political forecasting models, we're turning to prediction markets, including Polymarket, to see what the money says about the battle for control of Congress.

Are prediction markets a more reliable guide to the political future? Can the wisdom of the crowd outperform the pollsters and pundits? And what do the latest market signals tell us about Trump's prospects as Republicans brace for a potentially bruising election?

Piers Morgan is first joined by Brian Kilmeade, author of Uniting the States: Six Crucial Moments That Forged the American Miracle, before welcoming a panel featuring Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace; Professor Jiang, game theorist and host of Predictive History; Lydia Moynihan, New York Post correspondent and commentator; Joe Walsh, host of Social Contract and former Republican Congressman; and Rich Baris, pollster at The People’s Pundit, to debate the stakes of the upcoming US midterm elections and what prediction markets reveal about the political outlook for Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
