Piers Morgan is a best-selling author, journalist, television personality, and host of Piers Morgan Uncensored on News UK’s new channel TalkTV. Piers has had a distinguished career in media, and the two of us have become friendly opponents over the last decade, while having mutual appreciation for our ongoing dialogue.    In today’s episode, we discuss Piers’ public criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the ensuing controversy that led to his departure from Good Morning Britain. We also discuss JK Rowling’s defense of femininity and we trade opposing takes on the war in Ukraine: its historical comparisons, the U.S.’s involvement, and how the conflict could end.

I had an editor of my first paper of The Sun in London,

and he said to me, recently,

0:05.0

the single most annoying thing about you

0:07.0

was I used to scream at you when you got something badly wrong.

And he said, you just suck it up,

0:13.0

and then an hour later you bounce into my office

with a big grin on your face with a scoop that you got.

Of all the things anyone's ever said about me,

0:20.0

I would say that is probably the best trait that I got. Of all the things anyone's ever said about me, I would say that is probably my,

the best trait that I have is the ability to bounce back.

Peers Morgan and I have sat down together every couple of years this past decade, getting into
