Hey, everybody. We got a double header for you today. And it's going to be a doozy. I've been trying to get Piers Morgan to have the tables turned on him for a while now. And so he booked this date, you know, not planning that the Graham Platner campaign is going to blow up the night before. And so I didn't kind of want to waste time with him on that.

What criticisms does Piers Morgan have about Trump's presidency?

Tim Miller 1:21
So if you want Platner takes, we've got plenty of options for you. Me and Sarah over on the Bulwark Takes feed did almost an hour on Platinum alone. The next level, which comes out on Tuesday nights. Sam is in for JVL. We're all still sending our love to JVL and his family. But we'll be discussing Platinum more there. We'll also be discussing Mitch McConnell, who is MIA. So there'll be some discussion of that as well. So if you're looking for Platinum, McConnell Takes, TNL, or head over to the Bulwark Takes feed. On this show, it's a doubleheader. We get into serious business about military affairs in the world with Mark Hurtling in segment two. So make sure to stick around for that. But up first, it's Piers Morgan.
Tim Miller 2:16
All right, he is the host of Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube. It's Piers Morgan himself.

What insights does Mark Hertling provide on military affairs?

Tim Miller 2:21
The tables are turned. Welcome to the show.
Piers Morgan 2:24
I'm a bit apprehensive about this because I suddenly realized you've never interviewed me. And I've had you on my show many times. Thank you. But this is like the real poacher turned gamekeeper, as we would say in England.
Tim Miller 2:35
I love that. I love that you're apprehensive. Well, I'm going to start with a compliment. We're going to start, you know, we're going to butter you up at the beginning because we may have some disagreements to get to. I've been trying to have you on since your interview with Russell Brand. It was a real moment of professional jealousy for me for this reason. For people who didn't watch it, you are asking him about what Bible verse he was referencing. And let's play what happened.
Thank you for asking me.

How does the discussion address Trump's tariffs and foreign policy?

Thank you. It was this from Isaiah. You're right, but I did say, you know, be chilled. Sometimes I lose the chill, man. They don't like that, do they, in the old gallery? But remember you just said it's a hired spot. This is from Isaiah. The verse that I was looking at that day was wonderful. Not this, I can't actually find the verse that I had that day.
Tim Miller 3:39
That goes on for over 100 seconds, Piers. How did you do that? What was going through your head? How did you summon the will to just sit there and let him turn the pages for almost two minutes?
Piers Morgan 3:51
Well, as you know, in our game, silence is normally the enemy, right? I mean, everyone talks about dead air, and it can be just a few seconds.

What are the implications of Trump's NATO comments?

Piers Morgan 3:59
When I was at CNN, if you had three, four seconds of silence, it was something they would launch an investigation into. So obviously my team were in my ear saying, you may want to get in now, let's get in now, because it was as it went on. But I could just sense there was something quite magical unfurling, which was that this grifter, and I think we can safely say he's a grifter, who had become a born-again Christian seven months after all these allegations flew against him, had gone into court in England clutching this Bible, which had all these little notes attached to it and passages underlying and so on. And so I asked him the obvious question, which was, well, you know, which of the passages brought you most succor at your difficult moment?
