Piers Morgan Uncensored

Two major political controversies have erupted in the United States ahead of next week’s crucial midterm elections, raising questions about campaign tactics, political hypocrisy and the boundaries of public scrutiny.

Republican candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy is facing criticism over an attack ad featuring an interview with his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother. The advert has sparked controversy over the circumstances surrounding their estrangement and the family’s history. Rather than backing down, Ramaswamy has doubled down on the campaign - reportedly committing millions of dollars to the ad.

Meanwhile, The Young Turks have come under fire after releasing a documentary examining the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham’s alleged private life. The programme features claims from male escorts, including one who alleges he was 17 at the time of an encounter. The allegations have prompted accusations of hypocrisy, with critics questioning whether the same scrutiny would be applied to a liberal politician. Graham’s sister, Darline, is also fighting to win his former Senate seat in South Carolina.

Piers Morgan is joined by a panel to discuss all of this and more with host & executive producer of The Young Turks, Ana Kasparian, founder & CEO of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, Republican Senate candidate of New Jersey, Justin Murphy, host of the Liz Wheeler Show, Liz Wheeler, and Glenn Greenwald, Host of System Update.

Then, Piers is joined by former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, whose 49-day premiership in 2022 was marked by market turmoil, rising interest rates and political upheaval. Her brief time in Downing Street became infamous, with the now-iconic lettuce comparison symbolising the speed of her downfall.

Since leaving office, Truss has increasingly aligned herself with MAGA Republicans in the United States and blamed the so-called “deep state” for her political demise. Now, with her new book, Bank Job, she seeks to expand on those claims.

Piers Morgan examines the serious allegations made by Thomas Markle Jr regarding his father, Thomas Markle Sr, which are now the subject of a criminal investigation.

For Meghan Markle, finding out your own father could be a child abuser must be gut-wrenching beyond comparison. But questions must be asked, about why allegations against Thomas Senior were first made in 2019 by his ex-wife Roslyn, who wrote directly to London’s Met Police.
They shared this letter with Harry and Meghan but they did not share it with authorities in Mexico, where Thomas Senior was living, or in the US where he remains a citizen. And it wasn’t until six years later, when Meghan wrote to her father to break off all contact and announce that he would never meet his grandchildren. Meghan says she told her father that she knew he’d abused young girls and that authorities were aware.Above all, did anybody involved - and this applies chiefly to law enforcement at every level - allow a suspected child abuser to remain free to offend?

The situation demands full transparency - not a murky soap opera which plays out only in the press.

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.
