“CAN’T Go On!” ICE Chaos + Trump NATO Slur | With Piers Morgan’s Military Brother

23:33Piers Morgan:Well, Cenk Uygur, let me ask you the question I didn't think I'd ever ask you. Well, Cenk, Cenk, hang on one sec. Cenk, I want to ask you the question I never thought I'd ever ask you. Have you ever killed anyone?

23:45No, not to my knowledge. Hey, Cenk, you've got to look at this. I don't know.

23:52Piers Morgan:It's always the quiet ones. You know, it's interesting, Cenk, because we've seen President Clinton, Bill Clinton, and we've seen Barack Obama, another former president, both come out with pretty strong denunciations of this. What would be interesting would be if, I think, if George W. Bush was to come out and add his name to this, to make it more of a bipartisan response, because this cannot go on. The rest of the world, I can tell you, over here in the UK, people are looking on completely aghast that this is happening repeatedly. And no one can quite understand why those who have the power to cool things down aren't doing that.

24:32Piers Morgan:Now, Tom Homan has been sent down there tonight. We know there's a White House press briefing going on in the next hour or so, which may add some more clarity too. But what should happen here? What do you think is the obvious thing to do? To have ICE completely remove themselves from Minneapolis, but then it begs the question, well, where do they go next? Should they continue their work? is not a lot of what ICE is doing, because I believe it probably is, is not a lot of what they're doing valid. If they are actually catching and deporting genuinely bad criminals who are in the country illegally anyway, then they should be allowed to do their job, shouldn't they?

25:12Yeah. So let me build on what James said. So, look, at this point, the polling is in even before this Alex Preddy shooting, And this one is going to put it way, way over the top. So already over 60 percent of Americans thought ICE was going too far before the shooting. Over 70 percent of independents thought that. And now the fact that he was armed and was exercising his Second Amendment rights just by having a gun, and he seemed to have been killed because he had a gun and was exercising his Second Amendment rights, I think has driven a lot of the right wing to realize, hey, you know what? maybe we're not supposed to be murdering American citizens in the streets, that that is not supposed to be the point of ICE.

25:55And now a lot of people are worried that that is the point of ICE. And I'm old enough to remember when, James, you remember when G. Gordon Liddy would tell the right wing about the jackbooted thugs of the government. And if they came to your house, gun them down. Now they're saying if the government comes to your house, surrender immediately and let them do whatever they want in a police state. But you know that the police state is not going to be for the left or the right. It's going to be for the powerful and they're going to use it against all of us. But that jury has come in. So what's going to happen next is a lot of Republicans are starting to turn on Trump.

26:31He has lost his magic touch that he used to be able to bully and intimidate people. And back in his first term, he did it a little bit more intelligently, one by one, so that it had more power. Now, he just blasts everybody, right? We hate Europe. We hate, we're going to take Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, blah, blah, blah. That's on foreign policy. Then he comes back home and he attacks all of the Indiana Republicans. Then he attacks, you know, half the Republicans in the Senate. He attacks Marjorie Taylor Greene and calls her a traitor when she's like one of the most right-wing people in the country.

27:03He attacks Tom Esi. The point is, now that he's sitting in the 30s and dropping, by the way, like Biden was, He has lost all of his leverage. So you see Republicans abandoning him. Why are they abandoning him? Because of what James said, because the elections are coming. And if they stick with Trump, they're going to get wiped out with the tide. So now people are going to have to turn on Trump on the Republican Party side. So that's politics. And that's important because that takes away his power and leverage. But also more importantly for the American people, for God's sake, let's unite. And remember, you don't want the government to tread on you.

27:40The right wing was right about tyrannical government. So this is the time that you need to stand up against that tyrannical government.

27:48Piers Morgan:OK, Clay Travis, just respond to that quickly, and then we're going to move on to Trump and NATO and the issue of the NATO forces. Look, I think this has to be an extreme. First of all, I don't think Trump's base is going to turn on him. Trump's base has never turned on him for anything. That's not going to happen. Period. It's 90, 10, 95, 5, whatever percentages. Most people voted for Trump and for ICE to do exactly this. What I think is important here to Pierce is it's a huge story that should get more attention. It's actually a super positive, unlike all these details. I'm sure you saw it, Pierce.

28:21I don't know how much you talked about it because you were laid up in the hospital. And I hope you're getting well, by the way. A hundred and twenty five year low in murders in the United States in twenty twenty five. No one alive today, not even Democrat voters on the rolls in Chicago were able to live in a country that was safer than since nineteen hundred. You cannot tell me that shutting down the border and beginning to deport violent ICE criminals is not a big part of why we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years in the United States. So, again, big picture. There are 10 million illegals here.

29:01Do we allow them to stay? And look, this is a real debate going forward that I think is not getting talked about. The 2030 census, what is going to happen with the 2030 census is far more impactful than what's going to happen in 26, what's going to happen in 28, because it sets the stage for a generation of how the electoral college map is going to be set up for where and how seats are going to be allocated in the 435 House seats. That is really underlying, I think, why this is occurring now, the battle that is going on.

29:34Piers Morgan:OK, I want to play a clip. This is the infamous clip already of Donald Trump talking about NATO forces and their contribution to the war in Afghanistan. I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? And that's really the ultimate test. And I'm not sure of that. I know that we would have been there or we would be there. but will they be there and let's hope that that never happens we've never needed them we have never really asked anything of them you know they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that and they did they stayed a little back a little off the front lines well I was trying to think who best I could bring into this debate now to uh discuss this and I realized I had somebody in my own family somebody who I have regularly mentioned on Piers Morgan on census I come from a family with lots of military.

30:24Piers Morgan:My brother retired as a colonel. My brother was an army colonel. I've got a lot of military in my family. We've discussed before, I've got lots of military, ex-military in my family. My brother was an army colonel for many years. My brother was a British army colonel. My brother-in-law was a British army colonel. Lots of military in my family. My younger brother, Jeremy, who was a colonel in the British army, he was in the army for 37 years. He did three tours of Afghanistan during the war, and he joins me now from the London studio, which ironically I'm not at today.

31:18Piers Morgan:So, you were very angry about this. You messaged me immediately, you heard it, and you were furious about the way that the contribution of the British armed forces, and indeed the wider NATO armed forces, from Canada to Germany to France, Denmark and so on, had been... Really had their reputation chucked through the hedge over this, with the implication that they had sat back and watched as Americans did all the frontline fighting. Just explain what your role was predominantly in Afghanistan when you were there, but also your reaction to what Trump said. The tours that I did in Afghanistan, I was mainly supporting the Afghan National Army in their training and education.

32:05I was supporting their branch schools up and around Kabul. And I had a multinational force that helped me to deliver that mission.

32:17Piers Morgan:And what was your experience? This concept that there was a front line in Afghanistan, you don't think that even is a genuine concept. Why? I think anyone who was part of that campaign in Afghanistan will be able to say it's an asymmetric warfare situation. It was a counterinsurgency. It was the Taliban against us, but they were part of the people. They were amongst the people. It was a 360-degree battlefield. It wasn't a case of them on one side of a field and us on the other. It was largely, you know, you could be attacked anywhere at any time. You could be in a logistics base. You could be manning a medical facility.

33:03You could get indirect fire. You could have insider attacks. You could be on a logistic convoy and you could be attacked by roadside bombs. Of course, the heavy fighting was taking place in certain hot spots, but the whole of the country was unsafe to some degree or another. And so it's completely wrong and disingenuous for the president to be referring to only American forces being based on the front line. There wasn't a front line. It was a 360 degree battlefield.

33:37Piers Morgan:I know some friends of yours who got very badly injured, a guy called Stuart Hill, who is an extremely brave man. I've met him. He's an artist now, extraordinarily. Suffered brain damage from an IED explosion. But explain just briefly what happened to him as an example of what you're talking about. Well, he was with the British task force in Helmand. He was a company commander with the 2nd Battalion, the Mercian Battle Group, and he took part of the part of a major offensive operation against the Taliban in 2009, Operation Panthers Claw. And no sooner had he crossed the start line to sort of take the fight to the enemy, if you like, his company came under attack.

34:19He had a vehicle blown up. A soldier was killed. The troop leader lost a foot. Other people were seriously wounded. He facilitated their extraction from the battlefield by helicopter. And while that was happening, another one of his men stood on improvised explosive device. He was blown to pieces. Stuart was blown 20 metres away from where he was standing. And the next thing he remembers is waking up in a hospital in Birmingham three weeks later, having suffered traumatic brain injuries with shrapnel on in the back of his head. So he was very much on the front line, if you want to call it that.

35:00Piers Morgan:Yeah, and the bottom line, if you look at the casualties, the UK suffered, or the US suffered 2 ,461 fatalities throughout the duration of the war in Afghanistan. The UK was the second highest number of military deaths. 457 British military personnel died in Afghanistan. Thousands more wounded. The Canadians lost 150. The French lost 90. I know that you had personal dealings with a lot of the Germans and the Danes and so on. You know, just describe to me what they were like as fighters in the war, these NATO forces. Yeah, I mean, you know, I didn't serve with the British task force in Helmand, but the Danes did.

35:44They had a contingent down there. The Estonians did. There are other elements of our NATO partners down there as well. The Canadians were in Kanderha, which was quite a hot area, the Australians in Uruzgan. There's no doubt that the American forces were holding some of the toughest areas to tame in that insurgency out in the east, and they joined us down in Helmand as well. But so were other members of the coalition. From my own experience, I commanded a task force centered around Kabul, but we had training teams across the whole of the country. So I got a particularly useful insight as to what was going on, whether it was with a German contingent in Masaraj Sharif in the north, or whether it's with the Italians in Harat province on the border with Iran to the west, or indeed with our American friends on the border with Pakistan to the east.

36:38And I can tell you that everybody was putting their weight out there. There were different areas with different levels of risk, different levels of intensity when it came to the insurgency. but everyone was up for it. And I certainly remember my own experience working out of the base that I was in, in the centre of Kabul. I had force protection provided by a Danish company and they were warriors through and through. And you could have put them anywhere in Afghanistan and they would have performed as strongly. And indeed they did in Helmand. I also had a German contingent, very well trained, extremely professional.

37:16and again, I think they could have done anything anywhere. And it's wrong to think that these were benign and passive areas. They were not. Yes, the Americans were holding some of the most difficult parts. As I said earlier, so were the British and those who were prepared to fight alongside us. But the whole country was difficult to some degree or another. The level of casualties is just an odd way to judge a nation's contribution as well, I feel.

37:48Piers Morgan:Donald Trump, I think, under huge pressure from all sides. I've never known the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, would be so critical of him. But certainly members of the American Republican Party were also, I think, dismayed by this. He came out with a statement saying the great and very brave soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America. In Afghanistan, 457 died. Many were badly injured. They were among the greatest of all warriors. It's a bond too strong to ever be broken. The UK military, with tremendous heart and soul, is second to none except for the USA.

38:21Piers Morgan:We love you all and always will. You know, he went a long way there to try and mollify the rage that his comments had inspired, but there was no apology. Do you think he owes the NATO forces that committed themselves there, and particularly the families of those who lost their lives, an apology? I absolutely do. I mean, I'm very grateful that he issued that statement. It goes some way to assuage the feelings and revulsion that would have been felt by lots of the families who heard his comments last week, for the British anyway. But he needs to extend that to our NATO partners, who are also on the front line, whatever that may be in an environment like that.

39:04and he should apologise. We need to hear those words. He is sorry for what he said. He got it wrong. It was ignorant of him to say it. It was offensive. Can you imagine if I had been killed out there and our mother heard those words? It would be a complete kick in the stomach to have it recycled by him in such a flagrantly ignorant and wrong way.

39:31Piers Morgan:Rob O 'Neill, let's bring in the panel now. Now, Rob O 'Neill is no one better to go to from the American side of this. I mean, there's no doubt it caused widespread fury, and Donald Trump went as near as I've seen him, actually, to apologising. But he didn't apologise. What do you make of this debate? There's obviously a wider debate about NATO and how it's constructed, the contribution from NATO countries. I think Trump's been very effective in getting NATO countries to pay their dues in the way they actually shamefully weren't doing before. and there can be no doubt that overall America, obviously, being the most powerful military in the world, does the lion's share of the fighting.

40:10Piers Morgan:But, you know, if you're on the receiving end of that initial comment by Donald Trump that you all just sat back, everybody else in NATO, it's pretty offensive. I mean, you guys would hate it if it was the other way around. Yeah, I would hate it, and it is offensive. And, yeah, I've given thousands of seminars and speeches, And I think 100 % of the time I've mentioned my close work with the Special Boat Service, the SBS from the UK. I've worked with them so much. I mean, we're exactly the same. I remember them telling me stories of the invasion of Iraq. They're getting shot at by Fethiyeh Saddam with 23-millimeter twin anti-aircraft guns.

40:46And I'm not big into the metric system, but I don't want to get all technical, but that's a big-ass bullet to get shot at you. They've been in the lion's share of Kandahar, all that stuff, the SBS. I know I've worked with the Danes. I've worked with the Canadian snipers have the longest shot team of the longest sniper shot confirmed kill in the US or in military history worldwide farther than the US. Our allies, especially our special forces, the German comps members, the Norwegian Jaegers, stellar. And what they have is something similar with us. They don't really agree with their politicians, their lawyers and their government all the time.

41:17And the government's inserting themselves like they always do for midterms, for debates, for elections. The special operators don't really care they do their job the only i mean the like the norwegian jaegers are some of the best special forces i've ever worked with mountaineering close quarters battle uh uh everything everything in uh to do with the water they don't get to fight much because they're government and these these guys know that stuff we've we've hosted the canadians we've hosted the sbs all that stuff they know it it's just politics being politics they're gonna now we're just gonna talk midterms we're gonna they're gonna forget about this stuff in a few days it is insulting i assure you there are special forces.

41:50And I mean, and even like, I think Cenk was saying earlier that, uh, actually it wasn't Cenk, sorry, but, uh, there, there is no, um, it was your previous guest. There is no frontline. You can get hit by a mortar walking out of the, the porta potty. So everyone there, anyone that's gone over there, regardless of admin or combat, you're in a war zone and something that simple of a comment, it should be checked and take a deep breath before you say something like that. Some things are just better in person, high fives, hugging your dog and shopping for Crocs. If you've never been to a croc store, you're missing out.

42:20Sure, you can find us online, but when you step inside our shop, you'll get it.

Everything's ridiculously comfy, and you can even pick out Gibbets Charms to personalize your new pair. Go check out your nearest croc store. You deserve that in-person moment.

42:44Piers Morgan:James Carville, this came at the end of a long week in Davos where Trump made a number of incendiary comments. A lot of stuff, obviously, about Greenland, which he seemed to rain back on as well. What is going on here with Trump? There seems to be a kind of frenzy to what he's doing. Is it because he's trying to get as much done as possible before the midterms, perhaps anticipating that he may lose control of the House and therefore lose his ability to fundamentally do very much in his remaining two years. Is that what's behind this, or is it just that he believes in chaos theory, where you throw enough stuff at the wall, you go extreme, you go hard, and then you rein back and get where you may have wanted in the first place?

43:26Well, first of all, his statements about the UK soldiers is completely consistent with his entire life. He is the single and most anti-military president we've ever had in the United States. Let's review the facts. The bone spurs? Oh, really? WHAT ABOUT IN BELLA WOOD THAT HE REFUSED TO LEAVE PARIS AND GO HONOR MAYBE ONE OF THE FIVE GREATEST BATTLES IN AMERICA IN HISTORY. YOU CAN'T GO ON THE MARINE CORP BASE THAT THERE'S NOT A BELLA WOOD AVENUE. THEN HE TELLS GENERAL KELLY AND YES, HE TOLD GENERAL KELLY THAT AMERICAN MILITARY PEOPLE WERE SUCKERS FOR SERVING THEIR COUNTRY LIKE THIS. YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP BRINGING UP THESE OLD POINTS THAT AREN'T TRUE.

44:04EXCUSE ME FOR SPEAKING WHILE YOU'RE INTERRUPTING. I WON'T. I WON'T. I WON'T. I WON'T. AGAIN, EXCUSE ME. I APOLOGIZE FOR SPEAKING. I ADMIRE YOUR SERVICE BUT YOUR MANNERS DON'T COME TO SNUFF HERE. HE TOLD JOHN MCCANN PUBLICLY HE DIDN'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO WERE CAPTURED, WHO SHOT DOWN, WHO WAS A POW, WHO WAS A PILOT IN THE NAVY. YES, HE TOLD GENERAL KELLY THAT PEOPLE WERE SUCKERS. Jeffrey Goldberg reported it, and they tried time and time again to have General Kelly say he didn't say it, and he never did. This is the most consistently anti-military president the United States has ever had, and I hope we'll never have one like him again.

44:48Piers Morgan:Clay Travis, I thought it was a massive misstep by Donald Trump this. I don't actually, to this day, understand why he said it, what he hoped to gain. You know, the whole point of a special relationship with particularly the UK is that we've always been there with the United States forces when we've been asked to be. And our forces are up there with the best in the world. I don't understand why he did it or what he thought, why he thought people would respond well to it. Well, look, I think President Trump sees America as a unique force for good that often has to go it alone. And I think that was the impetus behind what he said.

45:27Trump, as often is the case, is a bull in a China shop. You have to kind of pay attention to his direction, not all the time, every single word that he says. Building on what James Carville said, I actually think Trump is one of the least likely to use American boots on the ground forces that we've ever seen. And I actually think that's because he despises what he saw happen with the Iraq war and the trillions of dollars and lost lives that we spent in a war where we gained virtually nothing. In fact, the first time my eyebrow really raised and I thought this Trump guy is going to be interesting was when he went after George W.

46:08Bush aggressively in the summer of 2015 in the Fox News debate. At that point in time, no one would acknowledge that our response post 9-11 was a disaster and that we had failed and that we had made a lot of awful choices because everybody was still bending the knee to the Bush-Cheney wing of the Republican Party. Trump broke that relationship. And if you look at his use of military force, it has been very judicious. It's primarily been special forces. It's tended to be remote in nature. And he has been, as a general rule, someone who is seeking peace, not war, in the world. I mean, we just, as we were doing this show, the 20th body was finally returned from Gaza that has been held there.

46:56As we were doing this show, he just posted that he got off the phone with Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, and was sending Tom Holman to try to figure out how to get the violent criminals out of Minnesota without any more loss of life. I actually think you can criticize Trump for a great deal. Not being bellicose, not being wanting to go to war or regularly committing American troops is, I think, actually one of the strengths of both Trump 1.0 and so far Trump 2.0.

47:29Piers Morgan:You know, as we're talking, an interesting development, Cenk. Donald Trump has just posted on his Truth Social. Governor Tim Walz called me with a request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we actually seemed to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we're looking for are any and all criminals that they have in their possession. The governor very respectfully understood that, and I'll be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and so am I. We've had tremendous success in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place we have touched.

48:07Piers Morgan:And even in Minnesota, crime is way down. But both Governor Walts and I want to make it better. President Donald J. Trump wasn't expecting that on my bingo card, but that's what we need to see, isn't it? I think you need to see collaboration rather than this constant animosity and friction. THE FEDERAL AND STATE OFFICIALS ARE IN THEIR HANDS OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE OFFICIALS. YEAH, I MEAN, A VERY RARE UPSIDE OF DONALD TRUMP IS THAT HE DOES BACKPEDAL. LIKE WHEN HE GETS INTO A HEAP OF TROUBLE, HE OFTENTIMES BACKS AWAY FROM IT. THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING HERE. SO BY MENTIONING TOM HOMEN, HE'S BASICALLY SIDELINING CHRISTIE NOAM.

48:49AND THAT MAKES SENSE. CHRISTIE NOAM STARTED TREATING

48:56SHOOT US. AND SO SHE'S WAY TOO EXTREME. BEFORE SHE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOOTING, SHE CALLED PREDI A DOMESTIC TERRORIST, AS SHE DID WITH RENE GOOD. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HE WAS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO WAS TREATING VETERANS, NOT A DOMESTIC TERRORIST. IT'S SICK TO SAY THAT. AND NOW TRUMP WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED ANY OF THAT IF IT WAS POPULAR. BUT IT WAS INTENSELY UNPOPULAR. AND HE LOST A LOT OF HIS OWN VOTERS, LET ALONE ALMOST ALL INDEPENDENCE WITH THAT. SO NOW HE'S SAYING, OH, I'M GOING to bring in Tom Homan and do a fresh start. And part of the reason he's doing that is because he lost a tremendous number of the Republicans in Congress.

49:32They were saying, hey, this is a bridge too far. Again, not because it offended their moral sensibilities. I don't know if they have any, but because they see it is very clearly deeply unpopular. And as James Carville said earlier, they're going to get their clock cleaned in 2026. So this is Trump doing a political adjustment. AND YOU CAN TELL BY HOW NICE HE'S BEING TO TIM WALLS, LET ALONE SENDING IN HOMEN. SO, YEAH, HE'S GOING TO START TO BACK AWAY BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HATE WHAT ICE IS DOING.

50:01Piers Morgan:YEAH, WE LOST JAMES CARVILLE. HE SLIPPED OFF. IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE I ACTUALLY OWE HIM SOME MONEY FROM A BET THAT I LOST TO HIM, WHICH GIVEN HE'S DISAPPEARED EARLY, HE'S NOW NOT GOING TO GET. JEREMY, JUST WANTED TO BEFORE WE FINISH THIS, THE BIG DEBATE OBVIOUSLY IN DAVOS ABOUT NATO AS AN ORGANIZATION. Do you think it is sustainable going forward? Absolutely, I do. Yeah. I mean, it's served us so incredibly well for so long. It's the bedrock of our security. And I really hope that it does continue. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. I do believe the president's been right to shake, give it a bit of a shake, and get the European partners to contribute more.

50:46And I'm glad to see that they are beginning to do so. but it's been long overdue. But yes, NATO must survive. I believe it will survive. And it will continue to be the bedrock of our security.

50:58Piers Morgan:And given Rob O 'Neill's very kind comments about the UK forces, would you like to return the favour, given that he's the man who killed Osama bin Laden, amongst many other things? Well, I have the utmost respect for our American brothers. They are the most wonderful soldiers and marines, and I've never worked with finer people. And all hats off to them for all that they do for their country and for NATO and for all our collective security. So thanks. Thanks. Yeah, that's a good point right there, too. And I think that I also wanted, even though James Carvel's gone, I wanted to tell him Semper Fi, and I am a fan.

51:37The point that I was trying to make with him is if we keep bringing up the old stuff like bone spurs and I'm pretty sure Bill Clinton and Al Gore didn't fight in Vietnam. I know that George Bush was instrumental with the Air National Guard keeping the Viet Cong out of Houston. But let's not pretend that our politicians at that level are going to go fight the wars either. I think it comes back to telling the truth. Just from this conversation right here, you can tell there's respect for the inner service, even rivalries. And again, even interrupting James Carville. It's like, he's a Marine. Maybe I can learn too.

52:09Piers Morgan:You know what? I think we've reached a bit of a tipping point here where videos being taken, you know, it's a bit like the George Floyd, it's a bit like the ones we're seeing now. There's a power to videos. And what's become really bizarre is watching people, particularly in authority, trying to tell us what we've seen with our own eyes. You know, they can't get away with it. And the public are not going to put up with it. Yes, there will be people on the partisan left and right who are going to play that partisan card and see what they want to see. But actually, there's a lot of normal people in the United States and around the world who look at these videos and they can make their own minds up about what they're looking at.

52:50Piers Morgan:And if you lie to them, your own credibility gets shredded because you can't lie to people about what they're watching with their own eyes. And that is one of the things of modern technology. Great to end on a positive note. Unusual, but what a good start to the year, particularly after my own bone-crushing start.
