Piers Morgan Uncensored

Is Donald Trump really a fascist - or has the word lost all meaning in modern political discourse?

In the age of Trump, “fascism” has become one of the most explosive and contested terms in politics. Critics argue it’s an accurate description of the former president’s rhetoric and leadership style, while supporters see it as reckless hyperbole designed to demonize him.

Renowned philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek joins Piers Morgan to discuss his new book, Liberal Fascism, and whether the label truly applies to Donald Trump - or whether something more complicated is happening beneath the surface of modern liberal politics.

Later, Piers is joined by internet commentator Warren Smith, who offers a very different perspective on the debate.

Senior U.S. officials, congressional leaders and insider reporting have fuelled growing debate over the extent of Israel’s role in the war with Iran and whether it stands to gain the most from the ongoing conflict.

After nine weeks of fighting and an estimated $25 billion in costs, current peace talks are reportedly focused on reopening a key maritime trade route and restricting Iran’s nuclear ambitions to levels similar to those agreed under the former nuclear deal abandoned by President Trump.

As inflation and gas prices rise in the United States and political pressure mounts on the White House, calls are growing for President Trump to end American involvement and seek a resolution to the conflict.

Piers Morgan is joined by former US national security advisor, Ambassador John Bolton, author of ‘Provoked’, Scott Horton, journalist with The Spectator, Jonathan Sacerdoti, and ex-Tory MP and Army colonel Col. Bob Stewart to discuss.

Piers is then joined by History Uncensored host Bianca Nobilo.

The Met Gala is back and as ever, it delivered equal parts spectacle and controversy.

This year’s celebration of haute couture sparked plenty of debate, from headline-grabbing outfits to eyebrow-raising celebrity moments. Some looks intrigued, others irritated but all of them got people talking.

Beyond the fashion, the event also ignited a wider cultural clash. With Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez hosting, criticism and calls for boycotts followed, exposing tensions around wealth, celebrity, and influence in today’s cultural landscape.

And that’s not all. This week also saw a dramatic twist in one of the biggest showbiz stories of the year. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled in their It Ends With Us lawsuit, adding even more fuel to the conversation.

What does it all say about celebrity culture right now?

Piers Morgan is joined by a panel of comedian and commentator, James Barr, showbiz correspondent Kjersti Flaa, former Republican congressman George Santos and conservative commentator Emily Austin.

Then Piers speaks to actor Adam Mondschein, who co-starred with Lively and Baldoni in It Ends With Us, to discuss his thoughts on the case.

Operation “Epic Fury” is over, according to the United States. The Iran war has now been rebranded “Project Freedom” - though that too is on pause.

So far, the $25 billion conflict has delivered plenty of fury but with little clarity. At home, frustration is growing among U.S. voters. Abroad, the situation remains volatile, with Iranian dissidents under pressure and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz still disrupted.

President Trump says U.S. operations to free vessels in the Strait are on hold amid signs of a potential peace deal. But he’s also warned that if diplomacy fails, military action will resume “at a much higher level and intensity.”

So where does this leave both sides?

Piers Morgan is joined by military historian and commentator Victor Davis-Hanson, professor of political science and Golden Narrative Laureate at UAE University, Dr. Roy Casagranda, and Professor Mohammed Marandi from Tehran University to discuss.

“This is a serious warning,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said after firing on a U.S. warship. Now, the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital oil chokepoints, has been shut.

A significant share of global energy passes through this narrow route and there’s growing concern the U.S. has no quick way to reopen it. Despite claims from President Trump that the U.S. doesn’t depend on the Strait, rising fuel prices and inflation suggest otherwise.

As oil is traded globally, the impact is being felt worldwide. The White House has promised relief once the Strait reopens but experts warn the economic fallout could last months.

Some are even warning of worst-case scenarios - from recession to food insecurity. So how bad could this get?

Piers Morgan is joined by panellists economics professor and commentator, Steve Keen, former economics adviser to President Trump, Steve Moore and game theorist known as 'Professor Jiang', Jiang Xueqin, to discuss all of this and more.
