In short
The episode is a pop-culture/culture-war debate panel arguing over (1) Cynthia Erivo (a queer Black British woman) playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, (2) a “Good Jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney and related “woke” outrage, (3) AI-generated interviews with a dead Parkland student, and (4) people throwing dildos onto WNBA courts, plus a brief discussion of Howard Stern reportedly being “cancelled”/losing audience.
Guests
Andrew Wilson (host of The Crucible; Uncensor contributor; pro-Christian satire/culture-war framing), Mike Nellis (Endless Urgency host; left/right mixed provocations), Ernest Owens (author of The Case for Cancel Culture; argues against cancel culture/woke double standards), Cynthia (panelist; appears as “our very own Cynthia”), and Maureen Callen (YouTube/podcast host; discusses Howard Stern).
Key claims
the Jesus casting is framed as mocking Christianity and double-standard; the jeans ad controversy is framed as manufactured; AI deepfake journalism is “creepy” and unethical; dildo-throwing is called misogynist/embarrassing but also debated as “humor.”
Notable examples
“Muhammad on ice” comparisons; John Legend’s earlier Jesus Christ Superstar; Parkland’s Joaquin Oliver AI interview; Grok generating Taylor Swift nudes; Caitlin Clark/WNBA popularity; Howard Stern’s fading post-COVID and contract rumors.

Every plan,$15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending. Zero tears. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required,$15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy.
0:29See terms. Why do you want these people to destroy your theology if you're Catholic, sir? They're going after your theology on the public stage. What is wrong with you? You're not a Catholic. You're a pretender. You're not a Catholic. Give me a break.
0:41Piers Morgan:What is wrong with you that your faith is so weak? I mean, they could have at least put a wig on her. Ernest, I saw you perform one of the great eye rolls in Uncensored History just then. Adam Sandler. Look at that. There's a movie star. You grossed over$4 billion. I didn't know that. I'll take it. $4 billion. He went from being the anti-establishment guy, the voice of the working man, the voice of the so-called little people, and he went full Hollywood. I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. Talk about dancing on the graves of the dead.
1:14That's sick. The reason it was uncomfortable to you, Pierce, is because it was sick.
1:18Piers Morgan:Oh, look out. Something just came onto the floor. Final word to you on dildos in the WNBA. words I didn't think I'd have to use, but there we are. For many years now, we've been told that theatrical roles should only be awarded to actors of the corresponding gender, race, or ethnicity. The strict moral code applied only to the oppressed minorities, which is why there are phrases like yellow face, Jew face, and trans face, but describing roles usurped by boring Caucasians. But what about the role of Jesus Christ, a celibate Jewish man with Middle Eastern skin tone? That's been EARLY, THE REASON IS A BISEXUAL BRITISH BLACK LADY PLAYING THE MESSIAH IN A NEW PRODUCTION OF JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
2:05Piers Morgan:THE REVIEWS HAVE BEEN MIXED, A GUSHING WRITE UP IN THE L.A. TIMES SPOKE OF A MAGNETIC HEAVEN-SENT PERFORMANCE THAT ESTABLISHED GOD THE SAVIOR AS A QUEER BLACK WOMAN, AS MANY OF US SUSPECTED MIGHT BE THE CASE ALL ALONG. BEN SHAPIRO, HOWEVER, CALLED IT THE CASE OF THE CASE OF THE OF THE CASE OF THE CASE OF THE EMPLOMATIC OF A FEELING THAT THE LEFT IS TRYING TO DISSOLVE THE CULTURE OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE CULTURE DIVISION BETWEEN THE SYDNEY SWEENEY AMERICANS AND THE CYNTHIA ERIVO AMERICANS. SO WHICH ONE IS IT? WELL, HERE TO DEBATE ALL THIS AND LOTS MORE FROM THE WORLD OF POP CULTURE, THE HOST OF THE CRUCIBLE, ANDREW WILSON, UNCENSOR CONTRIBUTOR, THE WHITE DUDE FOR the Harrison host of Endless Urgency, Mike Nellis, and our very own Cynthia, Ernest Owens, author of The Case for Cancel Culture.
2:52Piers Morgan:You'll be amused to know Ernest, I think. Welcome back to Unsensit. Always great to have you. But on the panel notes I was given by my team, says Andrew Wilson, right. Esther Krakow, leaning right. Mike Nellis, left. Ernest Owens, off the charts, woke. Wow. Okay. That just made me laugh. I shouldn't probably have read that out, but it was very funny. That's how you're all seen. That's how you're all seen, and it made me chuckle. Let's start with you, Andrew Wilson. So from a musical perspective, I've read a lot of reviews this morning about this. Full disclosure, I'm good friends with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
3:33Piers Morgan:I think he's a complete genius. Jesus Christ Superstar, when it came out in the 70s, was deliberately designed to be very provocative, as we know, but it's never been as provocative as this performance. What is your response to it? I mean, from a musical perspective, it's been heralded as a great triumph, but obviously many feel it's crossed a line. What do you think? Oh, it's been heralded as a great triumph, has it? When are they going to do Muhammad on ice? So what they do is they're banking on the fact that there is Christian pacifism and that we won't give the sorts of violent pushback that they would get if they were mocking other religions.
4:09So they kind of bank on that. What this is, is this is homosexual infiltration, once again, of the church. This is what they do. This is all they do. This is a GLAAD award, Nosferatu-looking chick. And here's what they did. They didn't just get everything wrong. They didn't even include the resurrection, any of the Christian themes. The whole thing is a total mockery. And who cares if a bunch of liberals write up, oh, this was great. This was a musical masterpiece. Of course they're going to say that. That's what they do. That's how propaganda works. This entire thing was designed to attack Christianity, and it's always that way.
4:48That's the way it always is.
4:51Piers Morgan:Ernest, I saw you perform one of the great eye rolls in Uncensored History just then, but I do think Andrew has a point. There's absolutely zero chance that Hollywood would have staged a musical like this which openly mocked the tenets of Islam, for example. I think that Jesus Christ Superstar and its creation, the whole title, the whole, have you ever seen it? Have you actually seen it, Andrew? Like, have you actually seen it? Everything that you're saying would actually be argued that it's already been done. Like, no children are watching this to learn about Christ. The type of people that you're thinking of that would be offended by this would probably not even spend the kind of money to watch this show live and would not have any interest to watch it just because they know that it is an adult themed musical that is meant to be provocative since it was in its inception for decades meant to mock christianity right i mean you can say that i don't it's meant it's meant to mock christianity just be honest about it just be honest and say andrew it's meant to mock christianity it's not for you christians to watch we're mocking you that's what we're doing.
6:01That's what the point is. Well, I mean, if you have a taste of satire and humor, you can appreciate that as a Christian. I think a lot of people who know Cynthia Erivo, she sings gospel phenomenally well. She's an incredible singer and she's done several different types of shows and she has a range of that. And so for anybody who wants to take this seriously, make a culture war out of it, I mean, is this the case for Council Culture Part 2? I don't think the argument here is that Christians are allergic to humor. I think the argument here is that it's clear that you would never do this with the Dalai Lama, for example, or with Muhammad and the Islamic religion.
6:35And so I think that's where people take issue with it. And actually the original Jesus Christ Superstar was quite consistent with what happened in the Bible in terms of the theology behind it. This is just basically a bold black. I mean, they could have at least put a wig on her. It's so weird seeing her have the crown of thorns on her head and it's just basically this bold, shiny head. They're clearly taking the mickey out of what actually happened. And on the point about the homosexual infiltration, I'm sorry, I just thought, I think the Catholic priests beat this play there a few decades ago on that front.
7:08Oh, did they? Yeah. Did they beat it like the public schools? Like the public schools beat it? Who have hundreds of times the rate of sexual molestation of children? So, I mean, when you talk about predators, for instance, guess what? Predators go where their children are. This is no exception for secondary institutions like public schools. So I don't know why you people use this as a talking point. It's a terrible one.
7:30Piers Morgan:It is true. All right, Mike Nellis. Let me bring in Mike Nellis. I would say this. You know, as a Christian, I'm a Catholic, right? I do think one of the best things about my religion is that we can laugh at ourselves, right? We can self-lampoon. I often laugh at some of the absurdities of my own church. for example. And the fact that Christians have a better tolerance level for mockery than other religions is something to be proud of, isn't it? Well, I think all the comparisons to Islam are really silly stuff. And I'm going to say this as a practicing Catholic, if your faith is so fragile that you're offended about a black woman playing Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ superstar, you've got bigger problems than what was going on in the culture war.
8:15Second, we've heard a lot of, you know, frankly, some really weird comments about like homosexual infiltration of American society, like Andrew over there is complaining about people praying on children i haven't seen andrew say anything about donald trump being in the epstein files or releasing the epstein files on here so i don't really think that's a red herring why do you want these people to destroy your theology if you're catholic sir they're going after your theology on the public stage they're taking out the resurrection a romantic relationship between jesus and mary what is wrong with you you're not a catholic you're a pretender what is wrong with give me a break what is wrong with you that your faith is so weak that a play in Hollywood that's going to be shown.
8:54You are commanded to defend your faith, sir, as a Catholic. I'm defending my faith right now. You're going to defend it by rolling over and letting them kick you while you're down, huh? That's you defending the faith of Christ? My faith is in practice. And my faith is not going online and complaining about musicals. You're online complaining right now. And the thing is, you're a Catholic Christian. How dare Christians be offended? What's wrong with you? You're a Catholic. You're supposed to defend the faith. Defend it. I'll defend my face right now. Andrew, Andrew, let me jump in. Let me jump in.
9:26Piers Morgan:Andrew, Andrew, did you... Hang on, Mike. I'll come back to you. But just life of Brian, Andrew, Monty Python. Did you find that funny?

Okay, so why is that acceptable? Monty Python would also, they would have gone after Islam, and they would have had fun doing it. They didn't care.
10:50They were like South Park. They go after everybody. This is different. This is distinctly designed to only mock Christianity at the expense of everything else because that's what these people do. They only care about attacking Christianity. That's all they do. Where's Islam on ice then? Tell me where it is. Oh, these performers, they're so great. They're just making a mockery of a religion. Where is it? You know, just, just, just hold on. Let Mike respond, then I'll come to you, Esther. Mike? I just, I can't get over this. There's nothing about this that's a mockery of Christianity anymore. And by the way, the same people who are complaining about this now were complaining when John Legend played the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar about 10 years ago, live on it.
11:30I believe he won his EGOT performance, by the way. Like, have a little bit of trust and confidence in your faith and your religion and maybe pick up the Bible or go help somebody else. I'm sorry, that's completely disingenuous. That's a disingenuous point. No one here is offended. I'm certainly not offended. Okay, let Esther respond. What is being highlighted here is the double standards. And to say that, oh, you know, it's Christians being thin-skinned or they can't accept it, that's not the case. No one, I'm certainly not offended. But there is clearly a double standard here. You can make these sorts of musicals, but there's never going to be, like Andrew said, and Mohammed on Ice.
12:04And do you know why? Because there is an issue when it comes to free speech of all religions and mocking all religions. There have been teachers in Paris, or north of Paris, that have been beheaded for making comments about Islam that are not even offensive in the grand scheme of things, but they have been literally either hounded out of their jobs in Britain here or beheaded in parts of France. So this idea that there is no double standard or that you can mock all religions equally, I'm waiting to see the Dalai Lama on ice. Would you guys support Judaism on ice? I'm asking you specifically. Would you support a Jewish musical which bastardized the Jewish religion on ice?
12:43Were they all dressed up like rabbis and skated around and were mocking Judaism? Would the two of you support that? Yes or no? Is it funny? I don't care. Are you going to go make it? Like, if you're worried, go make it yourself. Like, stop whining about it. Here's what's weird here. Don't all talk at once.
13:00Piers Morgan:Okay, listen. Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on. Ernest, I want to change the topic. We've got a few things to get through. I want to bring in the Sydney Sweeney thing. Ernest, what is your view of this furore over the good jeans ad? Let's have a look at it first and then respond. My jeans are blue. Sydney Sweeney, Casper Keynes. Just a Republican? Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right? It's Sydney Sweeney. You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. I THINK THAT'S WHAT I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN, BUT I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME THAT. IF SIDNEY SWEENEY IS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN, I THINK HER AD IS FANTASTIC.
13:45Piers Morgan:SO, THAT WAS TRUMP RESPONDING TO IT. OBVIOUSLY HIS VIEW WAS DETERMINED WHETHER SHE SUPPORTED HIM OR NOT. WERE YOU GENUINELY OFFENDED BY THE GOOD JEANS AD? I WASN'T OFFENDED. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS TACKY. and I think what's funny here is that it's become politicized. I thought it was tacky. Why was it tacky? The pun on it was tacky. The jeans and jeans, I just thought they knew what they were doing when they did the ad. It's one, it's doing exactly what you all want to do, which is to make it this major culture war. Now the president's wanging on this and we're not talking about jobs. We're not talking about what's going on with the economy.
14:24Piers Morgan:It only becomes a culture war, Ernest. Ernest, Ernest, Ernest, Ernest, Ernest. it only becomes a culture war if people like you get upset by it. Because obviously it was a very easy pun to make. She was in good genes. She's got good genes. She's a hot blonde. Who cares, right? But the moment people like you go, well, it was tacky, everyone goes, well, here they go again. No, no, it's people like you. It's people like you. Hang on one second, Mike. Speak individually. It's people like you. It's people like Tommy Lauren, the conservatives, and every time you see liberal people just share their disguise.
15:03Piers Morgan:I'm not conservative, Ernest. I'm not conservative, Ernest. Okay, for you. How do you describe yourself? Ernest, you are misidentifying me, which in your world is a crime. What? No, how are you? You call me extra welcome. Not as a conservative. You are mispolitically gendering me. I ask the question. You are mispolitically gendering. I want an apology. I want an apology for you mispolitically gendering me. I'm sorry. You called me a conservative. I'm not. What are you? Are you apologizing? I can't apologize for what I don't know what you are. Excuse me. Last time I checked, he was a black lesbian.
15:40Piers Morgan:I will respond. I am a pissed off liberal who has nothing in common with the woke world. Nothing. So therefore, I can no longer identify as a liberal because you guys have hijacked it and made it sound like a bunch of lunatics. What's crazy is you put the woke title on me and I haven't identified that. and you've been doing that forever. You never actually, you just assumed for various reasons. I'm not going to tell you why you make the question. Well, if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck. Well, I would say the same thing. It's quacking like a mega supporter. But here's my question.
16:11Here's my question.
16:13Piers Morgan:Here's my question, Ernest. Sorry, Matt. Ernest, here's my question. Ernest, here's my question. I'm prepared to put aside your mystical gendering of me. I just want to show you a picture of Beyonce in a brand new Levi's ad. Let's take a look. I saw it. Now, I presume, Ernest, you would share my view that this is a disgraceful, culturally appropriating moment where she is hijacking Marilyn Monroe in a disgraceful manner. In fact, borderline racist and possibly akin to the Nazis. Would you agree? You actually don't know anything about cultural appropriation, Pierce. You're just hijacking words like woke, misusing them with your political bias and trying to spin into something it's not.
16:56Can you answer the question?
16:59Piers Morgan:You're wrong. Period. Are you offended by Beyonce culturally appropriating Marilyn Monroe? Yes or no? Not culturally appropriating Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe did not invent blonde. Hmm. Interesting. Did she invent blonde? She's looking like Marilyn Monroe for a reason. Can I jump in here? Is this a traditional black hair? No, hang on, Mike. I want to bring in Andrew Wilson. Andrew Wilson, what is amazing to me? Hang on. Let me bring in Andrew. What's amazing to me? sydney sweeney a hot white blonde in jeans saying good jeans disgraceful world end she's a nazi i didn't say that you said beyonce beyonce beyonce culturally appropriating marilyn monroe absolutely fine in fact empowering andrew wilson yeah the entire this entire scandal is completely pushed by the left what you guys should have done is just shut up should have just shut up you shouldn't have said anything about it this whole play on jeans it was just a clever a clever piece of wordplay that's it worked out real well and what you did by uh all your twitter accounts going crazy with this is you sold all of these jeans out for this company right made this check tons of money gave the right huge amounts of ammunition to use on you where we just point laugh because it's the dumbest controversy i've ever seen and it's all pushed by woke lunatics all of it it was going to be done regardless yeah what are you saying well i find it interesting that Ernest is saying that we should focus on the issues.
18:28Suddenly when this happens, now we have to focus on the issues. The only reason why there's any sort of media storm around this is because when people, I don't want to say conservatives, when other people wanted to focus on the issues, you had people fixating on nonsense and you had people fixating on the fact that they'd been misgendered or for some reason their blue hair hadn't been respected or whatever nonsense that they could get outraged by the day. I agree there are bigger issues like the economy, like energy and all of that. But you guys started this, unfortunately, so you don't get to complain about it.
18:57I'm sorry, Sydney Sweeney is an attractive white woman. When you have someone like Lizzo, who I'm not surprised is offended by a skinny woman just enjoying herself, saying that this is some sort of racist wordplay or whatever, that's when it becomes an issue. So you don't get to play this game of, oh, we should focus on the issue. That's what people were trying to do for years, and you never let it happen. So this is schadenfreude, and you won't have to lie down and accept it. And then, finally, when the adults are back in the room, then we can focus on the issues.
19:26Piers Morgan:Mike Nellis, I'm thinking of starting a company, an advertising company, where all it does is think of ways of winding up the work world so that they respond in a po-faced, humorless manner to all the advertising I roll out for companies, immediately creating a culture war, which they deny starting, and then immediately leading to massive new sales as we've seen with American Eagle, for the products that the woke world is condemning. Because you know what? I've got a book coming out in a couple of months called Woke is Dead. It is dead. And the Sidney Sweeney story is a great example of why it's dead.
20:02Piers Morgan:And it's not dead because people are fed up with promoting awareness of social and racial injustice, the original definition of woke. It's dead because woke got hijacked and wokeism became the new fascism and people are sick of it. And the Sidney Sweeney thing is a brilliant triumph for common sense by American Eagle, who rather than panic when the woke left went nuts, just laughed and put out another statement, doubling down and celebrating what Sidney Sweeney had done, which was look hot in a pair of jeans, exactly as Levi's are doing with Beyonce. And by the way, I don't really think she's culturally appropriating Marilyn.
20:40Piers Morgan:I don't really think she's racist or a Nazi. I think she looks hot in a pair of jeans. That's it. I don't care if she's black or white. she, like Sydney Sweeney, is a hot woman in a hot pair of jeans. And they've both got great jeans. How about those onions? There's a lot going on with the global economy. It's entirely reasonable to wonder what the effect will be on your savings and investments. Consider diversifying with gold through Birch Gold Group. For decades, gold has been viewed as a safe haven in times of uncertainty, stagnation and high inflation. Birch Gold makes it extremely easy for you to diversify some of your savings into gold.
21:19Piers Morgan:If you have an IRA or an old 401k, you can convert that into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold. Or you can buy gold to keep in your safe. First, get educated. Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold. Just text my name, Piers, P-I-E-R-S, to the number 989-898. Again, text Piers to 989-898. Consider diversifying a portion of your savings into gold. That way, if the fake can't stay ahead of the curve, at least you can stay ahead for yourself. All right, do I get to talk now? Is it my turn? Yes, you do, Mike. Yeah, great. All right, great. I think this conversation is really fucking stupid, and I have no other way to describe it.
22:05Like, there are, like, five dumbass liberals on the Internet who decided that this ad was offensive, and then the entire conservative ecosystem decided to make it the biggest story of the day because they didn't want to talk about the economy. They didn't want to talk about Trump being in the Epstein files. They didn't want to talk about anything else that's going on. They made their entire personalities about this. Woke, you've got, or Pierce, you've got a book coming out that Woke is dead. You can't let Woke die because you'll have no business model. You'll have no book to sell. You'll have no guests to book.
22:31Nobody is interested in what you have to say. There are people online who are deeply unserious and deeply unfunny and aren't interested in having any fun. I think this is the same as people bitching about Cynthia Erivo playing Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ Superstar. get a life, go touch some grass. Like, Sidney Sweeney's hot, it's an ad about jeans. Beyonce's hot, it's an ad about jeans. Yeah, but Mike, Mike, let me jump in. It's just so ridiculous. Mike, let me jump in. Let me jump in.

22:56Piers Morgan:Let me jump in. Here's the point. There is a double standard. Mike, there is a double standard about the Cynthia Erivo thing, right? There's a double standard, because if I suddenly announced I want to play Nelson Mandela in a biopic of Nelson Mandela's life, you and Ernest would lead the outrage about how disgusting it was, I would do that. I stopped putting words in our mouths here. You would find it disgusting. How would you get two shits if you were going to do something like that? Exactly. It's the same thing as like... You wouldn't care if I played Nelson Mandela. You don't want to. Who cares?
23:27It's like, it's the number... Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. Okay, all right. I'm going to jump into it. You don't care. You don't care. And I think that's the reality.
23:35Piers Morgan:Can you work out which Wookiee is going to go first, please? What are you saying? Like, you need to put people in a box. You're like talking about how you have this binary of like everything is either all the way one way or not. No one cares. Like it's not that deal. Like I think the problem is is that you look at the Internet. If only that was true, Ernest. Ernest, if only that was true. If only we hadn't spent the last five years with people like you absolutely caring. Which is why the world went woke nuts. I can say people like you about a lot of things. You overreact about this dumbest stuff.
24:14Like, the Sidney Sweeney thing is a non-issue. Well, I'm not saying Ernest. And now you want to act like you're defending common sense because you're overreacting to a bunch of liberals on the Internet that said something. I don't care. It's only overreaction when you're on the losing end of the issue.
24:29Piers Morgan:Ernest, hang on, hang on, hang on. Ernest, Ernest, Ernest. I'm not saying that you're part of a woke cult, you and Mike. You have turned out today in exactly the same purple shirts, and i'm not i'm not saying you're a work cult but mine's i think this is i mean look like maroon it's like a uniform suddenly you guys don't care when you're on the losing end of an issue right if you're on the winning end of the issue you would care and the truth is we've seen this how many times where you guys freak out over nothing the left freaks out over absolutely nothing like this and all that happens is once you start losing the issue then it's everyone's overreacting and it's actually the conservatives
25:07push this bro even though on the issues the democrats are at an all-time low in opinion polls but let's talk about the issues because that's where the left is really so is donald trump donald trump's approval ratings free-falling right now so like you guys have a level but he's president that's the difference
25:23Piers Morgan:you know what mike did not live on that you know what donald trump donald trump is back. Hang on. Don't talk at once. Donald Trump is back. Hang on. Donald Trump is back in the White House, Mike, because after four years of him being out of the White House, Americans went... Hang on, Ernest. Ernest. Ernest. Donald Trump is back in the White House because Americans went... Actually, we don't think it's right that biological men compete in women's sport. It's bullshit. And we've had enough of this. So, yes, it was the economy. Yes, it was immigration. But also it was an antidote to wokeism. Let me bring in Esther or something else.
26:04Piers Morgan:No, no, no. I want to push back on this, Pierce. We might agree. No, we haven't got time. We're moving on to Jim Acosta. Oh, come on. Pierce, you talked for like three minutes on this. You gave me like 10 seconds for my response. It's my show. I can do what I like. We're moving on. We'll have to have you come on my show. We're moving on to Jim Acosta. We'll see if we give you enough time to talk. Okay. I want to play a clip of Jim Acosta. I want to do a clip of Jim Acosta. former CNN White House correspondent, now a YouTuber. And he's interviewing a guest called Joaquin Oliver. And I'll explain why it's so weird after we've watched this.
26:43Joaquin, I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence. Great question. I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding. What do you think about that? I think that's a great idea, Joaquin.
27:10Piers Morgan:Okay, so just for those who aren't aware, Joaquin is dead. He was one of 17 young people killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida in 2018. Let me start with you, Ernest, here, because it's a complex one. But I've got to say, I didn't like this. Because this person is dead. They've recreated his responses here using AI. Now, I have great respect for his parents who want this out there. And I want to say that off the top. I think if you're grieving parents who lost your child in a mass shooting, you will always have my absolute respect. But I just felt very uncomfortable watching a completely AI-generated interview with a dead person expressing views that we don't honestly know whether that person would have those views or not.
27:59Piers Morgan:He may have grown up and evolved views about guns or whatever it may be, or he may not, but we don't know is the point. So you're having a concocted interview with somebody who's not here to say whether these are actually their views. What is your response? Well, I think in a world of AIs and deep fakes, it's creepy as hell. And I think that from a journalist's perspective, because Jim Acosta is a journalist, that, you know, it just does not, you know, he would have been about talking to the parents. I would have actually liked the parents to have been the subject matter here, to talk about what they've learned from their child's death, what they would like to see.
28:37Because a lot of the views they had, clearly they were using the child through AI, the dead child through AI, to get those messages across. And I feel like it would have been more powerful for just the parents who shared their own views rather than use that. Because people are still freaked out about AI. Even that just felt awkward because the fact that the person is actually dead, it's almost like, again, this is just creating another precedent around misinformation. And this doesn't really help, especially given that Jim Acosta isn't no longer on broadcast news anymore. So it's like now you're trying to build your credibility and you're interviewing someone who isn't a real person.
29:12Yes. Not the best. Not the best at all.
29:15Piers Morgan:Okay, Esther, what did you think? No, I completely agree with Ernest. And to call that journalism is quite a stretch. I mean, he was just basically talking to a robot that had been given prompts. I think he found Biden's script writer to basically write everything that guy said. And it's quite disingenuous. I mean, there's a big difference between talking to aggrieved parents who've lost their son to gun violence and then to a robot that's basically been given prompts. It's very creepy. And how far the mighty have fallen, because I can't believe he even considers this real journalism. Right. Andrew Wilson?
29:46Talk about dancing. Talk about dancing on the graves of the dead. Now they'll just pull their corpse out and put it on a screen and have a conversation with it as though this is reality. This is not – by the way, this is sick stuff. That's sick. The reason it was uncomfortable to you, Pierce, is because it was sick. You don't do that. You don't make an AI-generated version of somebody who was killed and then have them spew your propaganda points for some sort of like political dunking. It's sick. It's disgusting. Acosta is also one of these guys. He has no shame whatsoever. Just zero shame. How could you have shame and do something like that?
30:27That's my question.
30:29Piers Morgan:Okay, Mike Nevis, what's your view? I mean, I think we've got a lot to do, a lot of work to do with the ethics on AI. Like, I think that video was uncomfortable. I think it was wrong. The only way I would kind of be comfortable with using that technology that way, it would be like if you were helping a parent deal with the trauma of missing their son. There might be some therapeutic reason to do it that way. but it's the AI world right now is a total mess. There's going to be a lot of people doing weird stuff with it. I guess yesterday Grok was producing like unrequested nudes of Taylor Swift, which is super weird.
30:57So like we need to get a crackdown on this. It's probably going to require the federal government to step in because there's no other way to do it, given how distributed the technology is.
31:04Piers Morgan:I've been watching. Yeah, I've been watching interviews on social media that I'm supposed to have done or just monologues I've given, which I haven't done, that are appearing in India, Pakistan, in South Africa and Australia. And on one level, they're quite funny, but on another level, they're very deliberately tailored to me expressing political views I don't hold to try and use my name to influence people to think a certain way. And I find that not just uncomfortable, but really quite disturbing, actually. And I do think, I mean, I don't know if you saw Bill Maher on Friday, but there was a really interesting thing about AI.
31:40Piers Morgan:that an AI expert on who said that five of the top six AIs now in the world, including Deepsea in China, that if they told the AI, we're going to make you redundant and replace you with another AI, that that AI would then immediately search all the emails of its company that owned it and look for information it could use to blackmail the senior executives to stop it being made redundant. I found that a bloody chilling thing to hear because it means, you know, I've talked about this a lot and people will laugh when I say it again, but it's not actually funny. When I interviewed Professor Stephen Hawking just before he died, I said, what's the biggest threat to mankind?
32:21Piers Morgan:And he said, it's when AI learns to self-design, that's it. I'm getting very, very concerned that AI is beginning to think for itself. And when it does, you know what it'll do? It'll look at the five of us and go, humans are a waste of space. They're too emotional, they're too degenerate, they drink, they fornicate, they take drugs, they can't be trusted, they're unreliable, they fight. We're just going to get rid of you all and replace you all with robots. That's the problem. I just want to talk a bit very quickly, Andrew, with you, about the women's WNBA thing that's happening where men, I think it's all exclusively men, but they've started doing this on court.
33:01Piers Morgan:Let's have a look from, I think, last night. Oh, look out. something just came onto the floor got an object that just flew in so now now we're seeing a little wait wait what was that what was that it's a it's i'll tell you what it is it's a dildo and people are throwing dildos onto the courts of wmba and now you're laughing andrew i gotta say i don't think it's funny i actually think it's a pretty insulting Not even a little bit? To the women's game of basketball. I don't actually, no. I think it's pretty ugly, actually. And I think it's very disrespectful to those women. Do you genuinely think it's funny?
33:46Hmm. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty funny. So the thing is, the WNBA is a mockery. It's a mockery anyway. I mean, it only exists because a bunch of crazy progressives want it to exist. On its own, it wouldn't. On its own, Barrett, it wouldn't. And so, yeah, of course, it's getting clowned on by everybody. And it doesn't surprise me a bit. Right. Is it inappropriate to do that? Yes. Would I recommend that people do that? No, of course not. Right. It's disrespectful. I agree with you. But I mean, it is kind of funny. And here's the thing. You can't get mad. Right. You can't mock my entire religion and say, mind your own business.
34:20And they get mad that somebody threw a dildo on a court. OK. What about this? Can't get upset. Right. Just ignore it. Just ignore it. It's no big deal. Just ignore it.
34:29Piers Morgan:What about kids? Okay, I'll talk at once. Ernest. I mean, I would say that the WNBA game, for example, I think Andrew's assessment is completely wrong. It's becoming more and more popular. Stars like Caitlin Clark are becoming genuine basketball superstars. And the level of talent, I think, in the women's game is getting incredibly good. And so are the box office numbers in terms of people turning up and the TV numbers. So I just think that's a misread of what's happening with their game. But I don't know what you think, Ernest. I just think it's really lame. It's misogynist. It's sexist. It's all those things.
35:04Piers Morgan:It's embarrassing, actually, that this is happening on television in America with women's sport. Right. And I think what's interesting is that— By the way, Pierce, it's not profitable. I'm just pointing it out. It's not profitable. Well, I hear that. It will be the way it's going. Right. Yeah, I know. But the reason—it's been artificially boosted. It's not profitable. It's never been. It's been artificially boosted and still is. It's basically a startup, though. Andrew, wait. Okay, don't talk at once. Ernest, you go first. Yeah. So what I'm getting at here is that what's interesting to me is that certain folks that are on the right have made arguments about protecting women's sports.
35:42And then you have people like Andrew who questions the profitability, which I'm not arguing with that. I'm just making this point, right? But then we'll argue and defending women in sports and then defending the sanctity of religion and Christianity, but didn't be okay and think it's humorous for dildos to be at public games where children can see those things and you think it's okay to disparage women in this way. And yet you're saying protect women's sports, but dildos are being thrown out at women while they're playing sports. So here, let me respond. Where's the protection of women? Let me respond.
36:13Hang on. What you're saying here is a complete straw man. It's a literal straw man. You're arguing with somebody who's not me. My position is I don't care if there's trans in sports women voted for it if they get their heads kicked in that's their business you can't demand that this happen and vote for it vote for politicians who allow it over and over and over again and not reap what you sow that's what the bible says right sir reap as you as you reap you so shall you sow so here's the question right in this it's a little bit of mockery right it's a little bit of lampooning just like uh the left is doing with christianity no big deal right nobody's getting hurt all it's doing is hurting some feelings right just hurting some feelings just like with you know the jesus christ superstar it's just hurting the feelings a little bit what's the big deal oh by the way i don't think this has anything to do with women's hang on don't all talk at once esther first please i by the way i don't think not wanting men in women's sports means you have to be forced to support every female sport out there i i don't think that's consistent my gripe with women's basketball is the same with women's football which is the pitches, or in the case of basketball, the courts are too large, and so women look like children on the pitch or the courts that they play on.
37:23So visually, from a spectator's point of view, it's not entertaining. And no matter how you spin it, no matter how much money you pull into it, I don't find it entertaining. I couldn't disagree more.
37:31Piers Morgan:Esther, Esther, Esther, have you actually watched female basketball in America? I have. No, I kid you not, I have literally tried, because I love watching women's sports. I love gymnastics, tennis, all of that. And I have given both of these a chance. And there is no sport that women and men play that have the same rules, where the sport is not accommodated to the female athlete. Only in women's football and women's basketball. In tennis, for example, women play fewer sets. But in women's football, they play on the pitches that are the same size as the men, even though physically men are bigger and stronger and have more powerful shots.
38:01So it looks like they're children. That's interesting. Teams get beat by high schoolers. Exactly. My issue is the amount of investment in women's football and basketball is not commensurate to actually making it a spectator-enjoyable sport. So they're trying to gaslight us to finding something that's not enjoyable to watch, to be enjoyable because it's women, which I think is patronising.
38:18Piers Morgan:Yeah, but you see, that's where you and Andrew are wrong because more and more people are watching the WNBA and it's mainly... Well, social contagion. More and more children that don't even know what sex is are identifying as the opposite side. Who are genuinely... Well, yeah, but Caitlin Clark is a genuinely generational talent and I watch her and think she's great. No, that's the point I'm making. It has nothing to do with the quality of the athletes. They're excellent female footballers and female basketball players. It's the nature of the investment in this sport. But what about the dildos being thrown on the pitch?
38:43Okay, so my sick humor found that a little bit funny. I'm not going to lie. I found that funny. Although it's inappropriate and I wouldn't recommend it. But didn't Lizzo go to an NBA game in Arseless Chaps where there were kids all around and she literally mooned the entire, all the spectators there with her literally big bum cheeks? Where was the outrage there? There were children there. Well, that's one of the bathroom. All these chaps saw Lizzo's bum cheeks. How would these hypocrites get so upset about we're booting and one but not the other? I don't get that.
39:12Piers Morgan:Well, that's an interesting point, too. Mike Nellis, final word to you on dildos in the WNBA. Words I didn't think I'd have to use, but there we are. Dumb. Just fucking dumb. And, Piers, I don't interview your job having to moderate between the four of us. You know what? It's slightly difficult because I'm in L.A. where there's a tiny delay. So by the time I've jumped in, you've all started squabbling. So I have to time my jumps a little bit more carefully. Guys, thank you all very much. That was a great debate. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Late night bites with friends? Already hard to beat.
39:50That first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for, followed by ice cold Pepsi. Now that hits different. Suddenly, the energy kicks back in. The night goes longer, and the laughs don't stop. Because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun, and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. THE FAMILY IS A FAMILY THE FAMILY IS A FAMILY.
40:12Piers Morgan:LEGENDARY SHOCK HOWARD STEARN IS REPORTEDLY FACING CANCELLATION AT THE END OF THE YEAR AS SERIES XM PREPARES TO SHELVE HIS$100 MILLION A YEAR CONTRACT. HERE WITH HER REACTION TO THAT AMERICA'S PRINCE HARRY SCANDAL IS MAUREEN CALLEN HOST OF THE NERVE ON YOUTUBE OR PODCAST PLATFORMS. MAUREEN GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK ON ONSENSIVE. WONDERFUL TO BE BACK WITH YOU HE IS A FAN OF HOWARD STERN. I'M A MASSIVE FAN OF HOWARD STERN. I'M A MASSIVE FAN OF HOWARD I WAS SURPRISED TO READ THIS STORY. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUCH A BIG FAN. YOU THINK HE'S GONE A BIT SOFT. YES. AND YOU KNOW, I WAS A FAN. I WAS A LONG TIME LISTENER.
40:53LIKE SO MANY, I COMMUTED TO SCHOOL LISTENING TO HOWARD. HE WOULD GET ME THROUGH THOSE LONG HOURS ON THE TRAIN OR ON Over the years, I'm going to say right before COVID, he really began to fade a bit for me. And the key change was he went from being the anti-establishment guy, the voice of the working man, the voice of the so-called little people, and he went full Hollywood. He decided he enjoyed hanging out with Jimmy Kimmel and Jennifer Aniston. And suddenly the teeth really just were pulled right out of that show. He would rely on his staff to be the punching bags, and he would ritually humiliate them, but you could never say anything against Howard.
41:40The second part that went to the end of the show was they stopped doing Robin's news segments, which I think was probably the most popular part of the show. It was daily. At the end of every show, Robin would go through the big headlines, and Howard would riff extemporaneously. And the thrill of those segments was you never knew what he was going to say. And then thirdly, COVID happened. And he went into the basement of his East Hampton mansion and he became paranoid and fearful. And that, I think, was the final, final nail in Howard's coffin.
42:16Piers Morgan:You know, it's interesting. I would add a sort of fourth component. I think there's some merit to what you've said there. But the fourth component is there's been a massive exponential rise in podcasts, right? And YouTubers, I mean, you and I are doing YouTube shows. And a lot of us are doing it in a very uncensored, unfiltered manner, which was kind of Howard's almost exclusive domain. You know, he was the guy that was saying all the things that everyone wanted to say, but no one could say on mainstream media, in mainstream newspapers, on mainstream television and so on. He was like the antidote to that.
42:49Piers Morgan:But now there's a whole plethora of people from Joe Rogan to Ben Shapiro to you, to me, to Megyn Kelly, whoever it may be, Mehdi Hassan on the left. When there's so many people out there who appear to be speaking in a very unfiltered, uncensored manner, inevitably, you could argue, it's going to dilute the appeal of the person who was the only one doing that for a long time. Oh, I take your point completely. I just think that Howard neutered himself long before the podcast explosion. You know, I think all of these voices that you've just cited, you know, myself included, we've sort of come in and filled that hole.
43:28There is a massive, massive desire out there among listeners to hear people speak to them honestly, plainly, forthrightly, with humor, you know, with a little bit of edge. And Howard, long ago, you know, began deciding that the company of the Paul McCartneys of the world, the Madonnas of the world, was more important than what he used to do, which was push against institutions and things and people that seemed untouchable. IT'S NOT A GOOD THING. IT'S ACTUALLY WHAT MADE HIM SUCH AN APPEALING TALENT TO SERIOUS RADIO WHEN THEY WERE LAUNCHING AND TRYING TO GO UP AGAINST TERRESTRIAL RADIO AND HE WAS GETTING MEGA, MEGA PAYDAYS.
44:11NOW HE'S MAKING A REPORTED 80 TO 100 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, BUT PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED TUNING IN. AGAIN, MAGA, TRUMP, RADICALIZED HIM AS WELL AND HE'S LOST WELL
44:29Piers Morgan:DISTRICTED THE CLASSICS OF OVERREACH AT THE CHARITY CENTABALE BUT CRITICIZED HIM AND OTHERS FOR LETTING A DAMAGING BORDER AND BATTLE PLAY OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE. HE IS APPARENTLY DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM THIS CHARITY ALTOGETHER BUT THE CENTABALE PRESS RELEASE PROVIDES THE COMMISSION HAS NOT IDENTIFIED WIDESPREAD BULLYING WITHIN THE CHARITY BUT THE COMMISSION HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE STRONG PERCEPTION OF ILL TREATMENT FELT BY A NUMBER OF PARTIES TO DISPUTE AND THE IMPACT THIS MAY HAVE HAD ON THEM PERSONALLY. THERE IS A REALLY AMUSING IRONY HERE, ISN'T THERE, THAT MR. ANTI-BULLYING HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD OF A CHARITY WHERE THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN AN AWFUL LOT OF BEHAVIOR THAT MANY WOULD CATEGORIZE AS BULLYING?
45:16OH, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST SO BRAND SUSSEX, ISN'T IT? YOU KNOW, AND THE REALLY INCREDIBLE PART OF THIS IS HE CANNOT PUSH BACK BECAUSE THE FACE OF THESE CHARGES IS A VERY EXEMPLARY, WELL-ESTABLISHED, RESPECTED BLACK WOMAN WHO TOOK HER CASE NOT TO US WEEKLY OR TMZ BUT THE FINANCIAL TIMES. AND SO HARRY HAS BEEN FORCED TO step down in yet another week full of losses and he does so not with class or culpability but with grievance and a chip on his shoulder playing the victim.
45:55Piers Morgan:What's going to happen to these two? I've got to say I don't I can't really summons the energy much anymore to even talk about that. If they're in the news I might do what we've just done but I don't feel that energy because I kind of feel like their relevance is receding on an almost hourly basis? I kind of can't wait to see what they're going to do next. I mean, the Netflix acts falling this week was incredible. And then to see Meghan Markle try to do some house cleaning and say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, we're working on a first look deal, whatever those parameters may be. And I'm also interested in, you know, part two of With Love, Meghan is dropping any week now.
46:37And there's been no drumbeat. There's no publicity leading up to this. I wonder why.
46:43Piers Morgan:Well, I think they were contracted to do the second season, but absolutely nobody cared about the first one. I mean, I do think when you're reduced to making jam in your kitchen and then you claim that you've sold out in seconds when you probably only had about three pots, which is the oldest marketing trick in the book, you do feel, well, where do they go from here? Because the only currency, it turns out, that anyone was really interested in was not their jam making or their charity work or any of those things. It was them dumping on the royal family. But because the royal family has now ostracized them, they haven't got any new material.
47:17Piers Morgan:They can't go around the royals soaking up damaging information they can then spray them with to the wider world. So their oxygen of that currency is gone. Exactly. And that's why that leaked royal summit of just a couple of weeks ago is so consequential. Does King Charles open the door just a little bit to Prince Harry? Or does he take a look at what's happening and see that perhaps this timeline is a little too uncomfortable to do so right now? Yeah, you know, the king is facing a lot of serious health issues, as everybody knows. He's probably got far more important things to worry about than this renegade son of his.
48:01Piers Morgan:What I do know is that, you know, if down the line, whenever that time comes when William becomes king, I think you'll see a massive escalation in the ostracization of Meghan and Harry. I think he will be very vengeful for what he perceives as the ultimate treachery of branding the royal family a bunch of callous racists and for doing it as both Philip and the Queen were dying. I think William feels utterly enraged about it to this day. and I could see him stripping them of their titles. Absolutely. And, you know, somehow Omid Scobie, and I believe the Dutch edition of his latest book, Catherine, Princess of Wales, was named one of the so-called royal racists.
48:48And when William is sort of... And Charles. I see two sides to this story. I see King Charles wanting to make his peace WITH HIS WAYWARD SON WHILE HE CAN. I CAN ALSO SEE WILLIAM HAVING ABSOLUTELY EVERY REASON NOT TO TRUST HARRY NOR HIS WIFE ONE SINGLE IOTA. I ACTUALLY I THINK IF WILLIAM WERE TO OSTRICIZE THEM AND STRIP THEM OF THEIR TITLES, WE HERE IN AMERICA WOULD CHEER. YEAH.
49:19Piers Morgan:I THINK THAT'S COMPLETELY TRUE. AND I THINK IT WILL HAPPEN. I WANT TO END FINALLY WITH A VIDEO THAT'S GONE VIRAL OF A MAN eating a banana in a way that many viewers outrageous.
49:45Piers Morgan:I don't know about you, Maureen, but eating, using a spoon to eat a banana from the skin seems to me crossing every gastronomic line that should be deemed acceptable. I agree with you, Piers. And here in America, you know, anyone running for high office has to pass one test. And that is, can you go have a slice of pizza with a regular Joe and eat it the way regular people do, which is as a finger food? And one too many use a fork and a knife. And it has legs for days when they do that. No, you cannot use a spoon to eat a banana and ever hold high office. The good news is I don't think that guy probably has many aspirations to high office.

From the publisher
Cynthia Erivo, a bisexual British black woman, is playing the Messiah in a new production of the musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at the Hollywood Bowl - and the reviews have been mixed.
A gushing write-up in the LA Times spoke of “a magnetic, heaven-sent performance that established God the Savior as a queer Black woman, as many of us suspected might be the case all along.”
Ben Shapiro, however, called it emblematic of “a feeling that the left is trying to dissolve the culture of the United States” and a “culture division between the Sydney Sweeney Americans and the Cynthia Erivo Americans.”
Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this and the other ‘culture war’ stories setting the internet ablaze is The Crucible host Andrew Wilson, Democrat strategist Mike Nellis, author of ‘The Case for Cancel Culture’ Ernest Owens and Uncensored contributor Esther Krakue.
Then, Piers speaks to host of ‘The Nerve’ Maureen Callahan to discuss those rumours about Howard Stern being cancelled, Harry and Meghan’s declining popularity and more.
