“Something WRONG With You!” Piers Morgan Clashes With ‘Hateful Clown’ Running For Congress In Texas

25:01But anyway, but again, the conversations do need to be had because broad brush stroking everyone, every religion, every color of skin is wrong. But then if your only defense is Islamophobe, racist, name calling, that's nothing either. No, but I agree. Listen, I've seen it in the, for example, with the war in Gaza, that anyone who criticizes, as I have done increasingly in the last year, the Israeli government for decisions is taken, having always supported their right to defend themselves and always supported the state of Israel to exist. But notwithstanding that, if you criticise the Israeli government, immediately you get branded now an anti-Semite, which I think is absurd.

25:37So I think you've got to take what people say and you've got to analyse it and you've got to accept that criticising an institution or a government for decisions they take, particularly in war, doesn't make you hateful of the people. I mean, I thought you posted something which Donald Trump reposted, Rob. So I'd love you just to expand on. You said in relation to the murder of the two National Guard members, if you've never been to Afghanistan, you wouldn't understand it. If you showed these people an espresso machine and gave them free coffee, they would assume you were a witch and chop your head off and let's bring them in.

26:12That's created, as you know, a lot of furore. What exactly did you mean? Well, I mean, that's obviously tongue in cheek. I used X for purely entertainment and, you know, that's that. What the point I was making, I have been to places like the Pesh River Valley in Afghanistan, where there's families from the Shuriak Valley, the Korengal Valley, who have probably been living next to each other for 10 ,000 years. But if you make a mistake of someone from the Shuriak going to the Korengal, they're going to cut your head off. This is a very serious place. And the vast majority of Westerners have no idea what they're talking about.

26:43Northeastern Afghanistan, Northwestern Pakistan, the federally administered tribal area. These are not places like here. If you just grab people like that and say, hey, you're an American, you're going to get what happened here because of the violence and not understanding. The point I was making, I showed a dude, we were going to rescue Marcus Luttrell. I showed a dude from the Shariaq Valley, his own village, the first time he'd ever seen an iPad or an aerial shot. I might as well have showed him the face of Muhammad itself. The guy, he physically couldn't handle the technology I was showing him.

27:10A lot of these people can't physically handle the Western culture until they're properly assimilated. That was my point, peppered with humor. It's a very familiar story when it comes to debt.

I mean, obviously, America was founded in a very multicultural way, right? It was the place that everyone could come to.

29:07Yeah, but I mean, America wasn't founded by grabbing a bunch of dudes from other countries, bringing them here, giving them free apartments and welfare. It was by people who wanted to escape religious persecution. And they started building things, not just coming here, getting handouts. I mean, I've been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of people. I mean, some of the most welcoming people I've met were in a war zone in Ramadi. Like, I've seen it. And you can't just say, these people are bad, these people are good. The conversations need to be had. But again, you need to be realistic. And as soon as the truth is told and you don't like it, you just say racist.

29:38You're not going to build anything up. Let's talk about the truth here, Pierce. I've got to jump in here. When we talk about the founding of America, it was founded by European colonizers built on the backs of enslaved Africans and on the genocide of indigenous people. To claim that it wasn't, you know, it literally was. The Homestead Act, which was finally repealed in 1987, gave hundreds of millions of acres of free land to white European immigrants while denying them to the descendants of enslaved Africans. And so even to this day, the single demographic, the largest demographic on public welfare are white Americans.

30:12And studies have been done on this. What about the 6 ,000 slaves that died building the World Cup venues for the Middle East in 2020? And we condemn that too. And that's the difference between you. Modern slavery right now. Don't throw that slavery to the United States. We didn't invent it. We were the first to end it. And that is the difference between me and you. I have no problem condemning that slavery by Qatar during the World Cup. Why don't you lead with that? That was the most recent. Why are we not holding them accountable? The difference is that I want there to be accountability and restitution there, but there is no accountability and restitution or reparations for the enslaved Africans and their descendants who suffered genocide.

30:44And we rewrite this history. Well, you know, we built up our bootstraps. No, you didn't. You built up on the backs of enslaved Africans. And to the comment that Islam is new to America, one-third of those Africans were Muslim who were forced into Christianity, who were beaten and murdered and raped. This is the legacy of this country. And for us to move forward, that truth is the world, bro. The legacy of the world. Slavery's been everywhere and it still exists in the Middle East. It hasn't been here in a while. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died again. The only one that abolished slavery was America.

31:15I'm not defending that slavery. You're defending the legacy of slavery here in the United States. That's the fundamental difference between us. I'm defending the United States because everybody in the world is trying to get here. Because whatever we did works in the greatest country in the world. That's what I'm doing, dude. With a known war criminal and you're trying to lecture me. I'm agreeing. We shouldn't be supporting those people. My question to you is, why do you continue to support a president who is rubbing elbows with MBS? Who, you know, Donald Trump and Pete Hexth have killed more people than Jeffrey Dahmer with his illegal strikes, which are clearly a violation of international support.

31:47Well, let me, all right, let me, let me ask. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, please. Hang on, please. Let me ask Robert. Hang on, please. I want to ask, since you raised it, I want to ask Rob, given your outstanding service to your country. What do you make of these strikes on these Venezuelan boats? I mean, the argument, as you know, of people who are highly concerned about this is that there's been no evidence provided to the American people that they were all members of these gangs. One. And secondly, in the most recent one, there appears to have been a double attack with people being attacked while they were in the water.

32:22And that is a breach of Geneva Convention. What is your view of both those issues? Well, I mean, my view is, first of all, I wasn't there, so I can't say from firsthand knowledge. I'm going off of my experience. And if these are designated terrorist organizations, hitting with a drone strike is within legal authorization. And they have teams of lawyers telling them that, too. And in all my experience with drone strikes, it's never hit them once. And if they live, it's like, oh, whoopsie poopsie, you got to live. You hit them again, I think. I'm assuming I wasn't there, but I believe it's called delegated authority kill missions.

32:52That's what I'm thinking. If they're terrorists and they're going to kill 100 ,000 people a year with the fentanyl, they're bringing in. I don't have a problem with that. But again, I'm not in the chain of command. If they're doing it legally, I don't think it's a problem. We do it everywhere in the world. We killed an American, Admiral Al-Waqi, in 2011 in Yemen in a drone strike. He wasn't convicted by a jury. Then we killed his son two weeks later. President Obama was in charge. So not a lot of hullabaloo about that. But because now we're in our own. Well, we're in our hemisphere here because you got to figure, you got to follow the money.

33:20Where are these drugs coming from South America eking their way up through the United States, up near the Chicago area, some of the Great Lakes for distribution? Someone's involved somewhere, just follow the money. And the previous point, too, about bringing up Jeffrey Dahmer, dude, I've killed more people than Jeffrey Dahmer, and I don't think I'm a bad guy. That's not the hype. The truth is we need more. Let me bring in, I want to bring in, I want to bring in Omar, if I may. I want to bring in Omar. Omar, let's talk about a wider issue here. In the UK, we have as many Muslims, if not more now, than in the whole of the United States.

33:54So pretty disproportionate. I mean, by comparison, for example, in the United States, there are 4 to 5 million Muslims and 4 to 5 million Jews. In the UK, there are about 5 million Muslims and 250 ,000 Jews. So it's a different dynamic to what is going on in the country. And the concern in my country, which has always been very tolerant, I think very multicultural, very well assimilated in the main. The concern comes from people who look at reports, verified reports, that there are now nearly 100 unofficial Sharia law courts, for example, operating in the UK. In other words, there are a group of people, in this case a Muslim community, operating their own law within our framework of our laws.

34:39Is that something that should be tolerated? I mean, should countries like the United States and the UK tolerate the existence of rival courts, rival law within their own border? Piers, I promise I will answer your question very directly. But just a quick comment on those strikes and the mention of Obama. There's no question that Obama did, in fact, engage in unlawful strikes. And people should object to them when he kills an American citizen abroad with those drone strikes. And what Trump has done is just escalated that to a worse level. with Obama, again, not defending his policy. It's indefensible and should be condemned.

35:13Nonetheless, struggling with the idea, is this person a threat? Are people going to die if we don't engage in that strike? Those are the kind of calculations he's engaging in. And frankly, he should have erred on not engaging in extrajudicial killings. But in the case of Trump, there's not even the pretense of that. He declared these organizations terrorists so he can justify this war. We're bombing boats that we don't know anything about. We don't have any confirmation that they're in fact engaged in drug smuggling. And even if we did, we have no sense of why anybody who's on board would be in fact a threat and could not be apprehended and put on trial.

35:43So we engage in these strikes and then we kill them when people are hanging on these boats who are injured and obviously pose no threat. I think this is just utterly grotesque abuse of power and use of violence for the sake of using violence, completely unjustifiable and for alternative political ends. So I just want to put that out. Now on the question of Sharia courts, certainly they should not supersede the actual laws of the country. If a Muslim community wants to settle its own disputes using religious law consensually, they should be allowed to do that if they want to. There are certain things with Jewish law as well and many others.

36:15But ultimately, the law of the country is what should reign supreme. And if there are people who want to have the result, nobody should be able to impose that court in lieu of the actual law taking place and impose that on somebody else. So it's a matter of what the jurisdiction is of these courts. They should never supersede existing law, and I don't think that they do. I think these are completely consensual courts that people enter to resolve their religious disputes if they all agree, all parties agree, that this is how they want to resolve their issues. Sharia courts have no place in England.

36:47Sharia courts have no place in Christian nations. That's why you guys have 56 Muslim nations. And I fully support and love what President Trump and Pete Hexeth are doing. We need to bomb more narco-terrorism to oblivion. That's the reality. You defend terrorists because you're probably a little terrorist yourself as well. That's the reality. Why would you say that? Why would I say what? Why do you use language like that? Why do you brand a fellow panellist who's actually a respected journalist a terrorist? Someone who is defending terrorists? He hasn't defended terrorism. He hasn't defended terrorism.

37:22Only one, just to be clear, Valentina Gomez. I've had three reasonable members of this panel offering reasonable arguments. All I've heard from you so far is dumb bigotry, accusations of terrorism against people who are just perfectly ordinary journalists. There's something wrong with you. Why do you do this? Sounds like you during COVID, Piers. You were vilifying, shaming, and trying to destroy people for not wanting to take the COVID vaccine. You tried to destroy... And you know what? I was wrong. I was wrong. Exactly. You're wrong. And you still are wrong today. Well, you don't become less wrong.

38:03I've admitted I was wrong. I've apologised. What I've not seen from you... What I've not seen from you is any omission of being wrong or an apology for the disgusting way you talk about it to people. Why do you do it? I apologize for nothing. My statements and my actions have endured the test of time. And Pierce, since you cut me off, let me finish. You've been on national television for 20 years. And during that entire time, England has only gotten more Muslim. For 20 years, you've got the Boston, you can say faggot, or to even call out the rapist Muslims. Pierce, you are not uncensored. The truth is, you have been complicit with the rape of England into its submission.

38:45It's not only on your stammer, it's also on you, on the police and the courts that have covered up for their crimes. Absolutely. And I'll say what everybody else is thinking. England is better off without all the Muslims. And that goes the same way to the United States. We can solve all of our problems if these Muslims are sent back to their Sharia nations because they're not here to assimilate. You think there would be no problems? You think you'd have no... You think you'd have no... Just to be clear... Let me finish, Piers. Just to be... I'll tell you what. You finish. You finish. You said what you want to say.

39:17To the American or the British way of life. Yeah, you see, this has been my suspicion. Because the last time you were here, you were at a Tommy Robinson march. And this has been my problem with Tommy Robinson. Oh, yes. Not that Tommy Robinson wasn't right to expose the Grimmie gangs. He was. The problem is that he and many of his followers, like you, actually hate Muslims. You're actual genuine Islamophobes. You would like them all removed from the country. How many Muslims? They belong in their Muslim nations. That's the thing. They're just obsessed with coming to Christian nations. burning our flag, chanting death to America, killing our American soldiers.

39:49So, yes, they belong in the Muslim nations. Pierce, let me finish what I said. These Muslims are not here to assimilate to the American or the British way of life. Actually, many Muslims assimilate perfectly well. They only contribute to rape statistics and terrorist attacks. Really? And you don't think any white... Absolutely. You don't think any white Christians commit any crime in the UK or US? They do, and we deal with them. Well, we do the same with Muslims who commit crimes. No, we don't. No, you don't. That's why you have a huge Pakistani, a Muslim... That was a disgusting scandal. You know what?

40:23On that point, you're absolutely right. The British Pakistani grooming scandal... They're not British. Abuse scandal. They're not British. Well, you can use any terminology you like. I will use mine, which is the correct terminology. That scandal was disgusting. It was actually exposed by a journalist who I knew on The Times. Tommy Robinson. He did some extraordinary work. Tommy Robinson amplified it. But it was exposed by a journalist on The Times newspaper. Because of Tommy Robinson. And it was covered up in a disgraceful manner that shamed my country. Right? And I'm very happy to agree about that point.

41:00But it doesn't mean that every Muslim of the five million Muslims in my country are somehow complicit with those disgusting monsters. in the same way that when a white Christian commits a heinous crime, I don't assume that every white Christian is the same. Why would you? Pierce, you can take the Muslim out of a terrorist nation, but you cannot take the terrorism out of a Muslim. And give me one example of a Christian committing a terrorist attack right now against Muslims. Let me ask you then, when the UK and the United States illegally invaded Iraq in 2003, I waved a campaign against that. So what would you say about that illegal invasion of a Muslim country?

41:43Muslims are killing Christians in Nigeria, Piers. I didn't ask you about Nigeria. I asked you about Iraq. Iraq? Well, repeat your question again, please. Do you agree that we illegally invaded Iraq in 2003? I don't think she's right enough to understand your question, Piers. I don't think she does. I don't think she wants to understand it. But in 2003, we, in my opinion, illegally invaded Iraq, a sovereign country. A million people died. It created ISIS, which then reaped mayhem for two decades, and was a stain on my country and on the Prime Minister Tony Blair, who I think should have been held up in a court of law over what happened under my name and the name of the British people.

42:27But do you care about that? Do you care that a million people, including hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed in a war in Iraq, which in my opinion was fought on an illegal false pretext that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which he didn't, it turned out. Pierce, in 2003, I was four years old and I cannot change what happened back then. No, I asked you for your opinion. I asked you for your opinion. And they can bomb every terrorist country. They won. That's the reality. Your intellect has not grown a year since then. I'll say that the Taliban, ISIS, they all come to the Middle East, but then they're obsessed.

43:00then they're like, yes, I'm honest. I'm honest. And I am the American dream on steroids. I have worked my way to the top. You're not the American dream, Valentina. I'm a terrorist level A division. You're not the American dream. You're the American nightmare. You're somebody fomenting hatred towards an entire community in your country. And I don't understand why you need to do that. They belong in their Muslim nations, Pierce. That's the reality. What's that? They belong in their Muslim nations, Pierce. That's the reality. So would you deport every single... OK, see, just to be clear... ..but you stayed quiet.

43:31..just to be clear, then, you would... ..you would deport... You would... ..just to be clear... ..just to be clear... ..just to be clear... ..just to be clear, you would deport every Muslim from the US and the UK, would you? Yes. Where I'm from, chips are called crisps, and our chips are actually what Americans call French fries. But that's not really my biggest problem. Have you ever actually read the label on a bag of chips? It sounds like a science experiment. Seed oils, MSG, artificial dyes, mystery ingredients which sound like diseases. It cannot be good for you. Massa chips are the answer.

44:06They have just three quality ingredients. Organic corn, sea salt and 100 % grass-fed beef tallow. It's a snack that feels good without the crash and the sluggishness.

Massa and Vandy, also now available nationwide at Sprout Supermarket. Stop by and pick up a few bags before I buy them all.

44:46That's what you are. You're just a bigot. This is the kind of genocidal rhetoric that we are. They belong in their Muslim nations. You know, ask any person in the United States. I am the only one that has the guts to say it. There's nothing courageous about being a bigot. There's nothing courageous about being a bigot. I'll be very clear. The United Kingdom needs to grow a pair of balls and have some guns. Actually, I'm very glad the United Kingdom doesn't have anybody like you. Let me say something here, Piers. Omar, yeah. I was in the United Kingdom not too long ago. I think that Valentina has given away how little she knows or understands about the world.

45:18Valentina, let Omar speak, please. Omar. All right, Omar, go ahead. I mean, again, she has given away how dumb she is with this challenge of name somebody else who's committed an act of terrorism. I mean, everybody in the United States is familiar with cases of Christian extremists blowing up abortion clinics. We know that there is a problem with child soldiers in parts of Africa of Christian child soldiers. We know there's a problem with a Jewish fanatic in Montana at one point who shot a bartender over a non-kosher drink. We know that there is cases of Jewish fanatics in Israel stabbing people at a gay pride parade.

45:50and we see the fanatics who are right now engaging in this onslaught in Gaza, religiously motivated. But all of us have the basic decency and common sense not to paint with a broad brush and say that this is representative of the entire Jewish community or the entire Christian community. And the same logic applies perfectly in this case. But she's literally so clueless. She's under this fanatical impression that only Muslims commit acts of violence. And frankly, I appreciate you standing up for me, peers, in this case. But to have somebody this dumb and hateful and to not be insulted by them on a program would take away from my sense of dignity and self-respect.

46:23It is reaffirming that I'm a decent human being, that I have somebody like that actually directing all this cheap, pathetic name-calling at me. I always go back to the data. And what the data repeatedly tells us is that our policies now are based on lessons learned from history. You know, after World War II, after Jewish people suffered the atrocities of the Holocaust, millions murdered by Hitler in the Holocaust, the United States realized, hey, we should have allowed Jewish people to enter and seek refuge here before this atrocity occurred. And hence the asylum system was established so that people could come here fleeing their lives for safety, to go through a thorough vetting process, and then be admitted to this country.

47:03The Cato Institute did a phenomenal study on this and found that you can count literally on one hand how many asylum seekers have actually caused harm or violent harm to the United States. Literally on one hand. It's not an exaggeration. They, this is a conservative think tank, mind you, they calculate that the chances of an American being killed by an asylum seeker is one in four billion. That, by the way, is about 4 ,000 times less likely than to suffer a mass shooting or a shooting in this country. And that's the real issue, right? We have 380 mass shootings, predominantly, almost all by Christian and predominantly by men.

47:37But we don't demonize all Christians for this. We don't demonize all men for this. we recognize that there's a specific issue that we need to have a thoughtful, fact-based solution to. And we build better gun safety legislation around that. Immigration has to work the same way. We recognize that our immigration system is not functional, it's unjust, it's broken. And we solve that not by just demonizing swaths of people or by banning or ending immigration, because that's going to ultimately hurt the United States. We do that by having a more thorough, more robust vetting system, a more thorough, robust immigration system, more immigration judges, more attorneys to process these claims.

48:13I've done this work for 15 years. I've worked with Afghan refugees and asylees for decades. And what I'm here to tell you is that they want the exact same thing that every person in the United States want, peace and safety. Nobody wanted the U.S. to invade them. Nobody wanted the Taliban to take over. Nobody asked Donald Trump to release 5 ,000 Taliban terrorists into the field as part of his negotiation tactics, which was atrocious. These are ordinary human beings. and the fact, and again, the data I come back to that tells us that you can literally count on one hand how much harm there's been caused.

48:42In reality, we need to find ways to work together and build a stronger union that way. Okay, let me ask Rob O 'Neill. The Muslim wants to win more Muslim people today. No, sorry, Valentina, your name isn't Rob O 'Neill. Why don't you send these Muslims to the statistics Muslim nation? I'm asking Rob O 'Neill a question. You're not Rob O 'Neill, and you never will be Rob O 'Neill, by the way, in any capacity. Rob O 'Neill, the White House put out a video using a Sabrina Carpenter hit as the backdrop to videos of immigration raids. Now, she responded on Expo saying, this video is evil and disgusting.

49:12Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. So there's an argument there between her and the White House over use of her music. But in that point, which I mentioned earlier, Rob, where I do think there's almost universal agreement that the clampdown on the southern border has been incredibly successful and is the right thing to do for America, that it's good for national security, it's good to reinforce the fact America has a strong border. And most Americans I've talked to say if someone's undocumented in the United States and they commit a crime, it's all about their visa status, then they should be deported.

49:45The disagreement is coming where the majority of Americans who are being polled feel very uneasy about the spectacle of ICE raids on people who may have been in the country 10 years, brought up kids there, had kids in America, have a job, pay taxes, contribute to society. What do you feel about that? Do you feel that that is unfair? Do you think it's right? What do you feel? I know there's a lot to the deportation process. I hope that we're smart enough as a country that if there are people here that came here illegally but they're working, there's probably a better way than just deporting him.

50:25Find a way to make him citizenship. People that are working and contributing, I think they should be here. Criminals, yeah, you've got to deport them. Again, I'm trying to make it sound simple. is obviously not simple, but a video like that, I mean, that, that sort of, that kind of looked like you're tracking down workers and tackling and there was a woman in there. And if they didn't get Sabrina Carpenter's permission, I don't disagree with her. Don't you, if she disagrees with that and it looks like they're tackling innocent people, don't use my music. That's cool too. But I mean, I would much rather if, first of all, it's a lot more complex than a TikTok video or a reel on Instagram, but just, just like running it, someone who's going into a grocery store and tackling them and cuffing them.

51:00I don't think that's the right look. I mean, I mean, I think it's not quite as simple as get rid of all of them. But it's, you know, there are people that are working, contributing, that need to be here. Very, very complex. I'm happy it's not my choice to make. But yeah, with an artist like that, it happens in campaigns all the time. If they don't want to use it, don't use it. Respect them as well. I mean, Omar, just finally on that. I mean, there's no doubt under the Biden administration, they seem to completely lose control of the southern border in particular. I mean, depending what figure you believe, as many as 10 million, maybe more people came in illegally.

51:30and that's completely... You cannot have that. As Ronald Reagan said, if you don't have a board, you haven't got a country. And I think we would all agree with that basic premise. But I thought that Rob gave a nuanced response there, which is probably in line with a lot of Americans, right? I just think most Americans, they probably feel there's a line to be drawn here. If you have been in the country for a long period of time and you are law-abiding and contributing and paying taxes and all the rest of it, and you've had kids there, It's that that I think is exercising a lot of the antipathy towards what are otherwise very successful immigration policies.

52:12Yeah, there's obviously a legitimate debate to have around immigration. But what we are seeing with this administration is this sadism, really taking pleasure in making other people's lives difficult, doing an ASMR video on the sound of chains of immigrants who are being chained up to be shipped overseas to different countries. I mean, that's really the problem. And you have a lot of these immigrants who are here. They've come here, yes, illegally, technically, but many of them come as children, as five-year-olds, and they live their entire lives in this country. They don't have any other home.

52:43When you ship them somewhere else, they're going to a completely alien environment. These are obviously people who should be staying here. And the sheer cruelty with which we are dealing with this, with the ways these raids are taking place, kidnapping people off the streets, often leaving children stranded or using children to lure parents out of a house in order to get a hold of them, in many cases arresting American citizens on suspicion that they might be undocumented immigrants. And you have people dying in ICE custody. This is the scandal. This isn't about the policy debate about what our border should be open or not.

53:11Americans can have that debate, but the level of sadism and xenophobia and this taking pleasure in the suffering of immigrants has been utterly, utterly despicable and uncalled for. And you see it in the comments that you've had earlier on with the representative from the Trump administration that you had on the show saying, what is your message to immigrants or to the Muslim community or whatever? And they have no answer to any of it. All they have is doubling down on cruelty in the name of national security. And that's no way to run a country. I'll add Omar Salih. I definitely have an answer.

53:39We were promised by the Trump regime that he would go after violent criminals. The own data from the DOJ shows that here in Chicago, where I live, more than 97 percent of the people that they have trafficked and rounded up and kidnapped have no criminal record whatsoever. 70 percent of the people in North Carolina, no criminal record whatsoever. ProPublica found that they have rounded up and arrested 170 U.S. citizens. These are people who are actual citizens, but because they're of Latino ethnicity, they're being targeted. Another study by the ACLU found that pregnant women are being rounded up and suffering miscarriages because they're being tortured in these ICE gulags.

54:12None of this is due process. None of this is what Americans ask for. If we want true safety, we can do so, but it's going to require upholding the Constitution, not just shooting from the hip as this administration. Okay. Well, Valentina, you're going to find out what the Texan people think of you in the 31st District at the ballot box, which is how it should be in a democratic society. And look, here's my pledge to you. Here's my pledge to you. If it turns out the people of Texas, a state that I love and have spent a lot of time in, if it turns out they're all as bigoted as you are, then you'll win.

54:42And if you win, I'll get you back on Uncensored. But here's the deal. If you lose, you're never coming back. Fair deal? Yes, let's make one thing very clear. Your team are the ones that begged me to be on the show, not the other way around. I have hundreds of millions of views. I am actually the only... We literally sent you one email and you said yes. I can hear legally. I have five fears. Let me speak. Just to be clear. Because we're about to end it right now. I can hear. Just to be clear. Stop talking. Come on. Just to be clear, we sent you one email and you immediately said yes. That's not a beg.

55:16That's not a beg. That is a beg. That's a request for you to come on this program. Because I couldn't believe that you were going to be. And I gladly accept it because I have a beautiful heart. Honestly. I wanted to come speak with you. I wanted to hear the British accent. Let me speak. I wanted to say hello to the British lad. Let me speak. I couldn't believe that you were as vile and bigoted as it seemed. But it turns out you were. So here's my pledge to you. Like I said, if you win and the people of Texas like your vile, bigoted rhetoric, you can come back on. Otherwise, we're never going to see you again.

55:50So good luck in your election. Trust me when I say this, the people of Texas, the people of the 31st district of Texas, are not going to vote for you because you're a vile bigot. And that is a fact, and you can take it to the bank. And that's why you say the same thing about President Trump, Piers. And you want to look at yourself and think about the way you talk about people. Anyway, I'll leave it there. Thank you all very much for an interesting debate.
