Summary

Tensions remain high as questions grow over what the U.S has actually achieved in its standoff with Iran. Despite weeks of conflict and billions spent, Iran’s uranium stockpile and broader nuclear potential appears largely unchanged. Disputes also persist over access to the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran’s backing of groups like Hezbollah, raising doubts about the effectiveness of the campaign. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has opened new fronts in a widening war of words, lashing out at former allies including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. Carlson hit back in a fiery interview, questioning the stability of the ceasefire and whether its terms were ever truly in place. The President has also turned his criticism toward Pope Francis, who condemned threats to “destroy civilisation” as unacceptable. Trump’s response, combined with a controversial post depicting himself as a religious figure, has sparked backlash - even among some of his supporters. With tensions unresolved, alliances strained, and rhetoric escalating - the bigger question remains: what comes next? Piers Morgan is joined by economist and global affairs analyst Jeffrey Sachs and Sky News anchor and host of ‘The World’ podcast Yalda Hakim plus his panel comprising of PBD Podcast’s ‘Angry Patriot’, Vincent Oshana, Host of The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM and YouTube, Dan Abrams, vice chairman of the America First Policy Institute, Fred Fleitz, author of ‘Separation of Church & Hate’, John Fugelsang. He also speaks to advisor to Melania Trump, Marc Beckman, man about her recent statement on her links to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Mr. President, did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Well, it wasn't depicted. I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor. You don't care? It's a distraction. It's a distraction. As a Catholic, you don't care? You don't care? Deletion 6-7 says, God will not be mocked. The remedy is not 25th Amendment. The remedy is Congress.
0:21.1	Pope Leo's boss got executed and came back from the dead three days later.
0:24.8	He's not afraid of a truth social post.
0:26.6	We have a one-man rule and the one man happens to be crazy.
0:32.6	You block my ships and I'll block yours. That's the upshot of the US President's latest Iran war gambit.
0:39.3	A US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is now in force.
0:42.3	It will not reduce the global cost of oil and gas.
0:45.3	In fact, quite the opposite.
0:46.3	But it may stem the steady flow of cash flooding into Iran's coffers,
0:50.3	one of the most perverse unintended consequences of the conflict so far. But surprisingly in current circumstances, President Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent Saturday night at the UFC in Florida.
1:01.0	It's fair to say, Price President J.D. Vance, got the short straw fresh from trying and failing to save Victor Orban's campaign in Hungary.
1:09.0	He spent 21 hours in negotiations with the Israelis in Islamabad.
1:13.6	The bad news is that we have not reached the agreement.
1:16.6	And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
1:21.6	So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
1:24.6	We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things
1:28.2	we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate
1:31.5	them on. And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to
1:37.4	accept our terms.
1:38.4	Well, the biggest red line is Iran's uranium stockpile. Six weeks and $30 billion worth of war have not changed Iran's nuclear potential. There's also no agreement on toll-free access to the Strait of Hormuz and on funding proxies like Hezbollah, with that which is extremely hard to argue, the US has achieved anything much at all. Meanwhile, President Trump has added several new fronts in his war of words. Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candice Owens, and Alex Jones were all savage as low IQ losers
