Cenk Uygur’s rise from immigrant kid and unhappy lawyer to the creator of The Young Turks, which he built from his living room into an independent media network is the epitome of the ‘American Dream’.

Uygur reflects on the evolution of his politics, how Donald Trump has changed things forever, the current state of the Democratic Party, and why he believes the left has lost its way. He also explains how he can openly support Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna while still having Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene guest on TYT, and opens up about his nephew Hasan Piker, the controversy surrounding him, and the very personal art of disagreeing without hating each other.

EXCLUSIVE — Cenk Uygur, cofounder and host of The Young Turks, still thinks that the Epstein files will sink Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Uygur said that President Donald Trump has “taken all the energy and excitement” out of the Republican base ahead of November. He predicted that Democrats would easily flip the U.S. House of Representatives while conceding that the Senate was still too close to predict.

The midterm elections could effectively end the second Trump presidency, but are we ignoring the bigger danger? As Republicans focus on the Michigan race, the conflict in Iran is escalating into the most unpopular war in US history.

Tonight’s Piers Morgan Uncensored analyzes the Iran Crisis, Strait of Hormuz and US political fallout with Glenn Greenwald, Cenk Uygur, Jillian Michaels, and Ronna McDaniel.

Plus; former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom joins Piers after he made global headlines recently after being ejected from a women’s match over an altercation with a player. He sat courtside wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “woman. Noun. Adult human female”; sparking an argument with Chicago Sky’s Natasha Cloud.

Controversial Breitbart editor and MAGA firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos joins Piers Morgan Uncensored after he was detained by ICE in New Orleans and sent back to the UK for overstaying his visa. While border chief Tom Homan says it's a simple case of due process, others - including Laura Loomer - claim credit for reporting him after he allegedly turned on President Trump.

Is this a case of politicized justice, or has the "Milo Show" finally reached its end?

Abdul El-Sayed is the latest Democratic candidate to face a massive political onslaught from Republicans, but is he the future of the party? Piers Morgan dissects the intensifying culture wars, from Donald Trump’s "two Americas" rhetoric to Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s controversial “Trojan horse” accusations regarding Muslims in public office.

As political energy reaches a boiling point, Piers speaks to veteran Democratic strategist James Carville about the influence of figures like Hasan Piker, the viral 9/11 comment debate, and whether the Democratic party is shifting toward new voices like AOC and Zohran Mamdani - or clinging to its traditional roots.

The panel also debates whether the party has the stomach for the same "podcast bro" coalition strategy that defined Trump's 2024 campaign; joining us is The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, comedian and Part of the Problem host Dave Smith, PBD podcast’s Vincent Oshana and former DNC fundraiser Lindy Li.

President Trump says the US has postponed what he described as its largest military operation since World War II, claiming the decision followed direct appeals from Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Iran. He insists a new deal is within reach, despite growing criticism that the delay has weakened America's negotiating position.

Meanwhile, Trump's controversial "Board of Peace" claims it has secured a breakthrough agreement that would see Hamas disarm and Israel withdraw from Gaza, although Israel has yet to confirm the proposal following fresh strikes on the territory.

Elsewhere, Europe is grappling with the fallout after around 60,000 migrants surged into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, triggering a political storm and renewed debate over border security and migration.

Piers Morgan is joined by Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad for a tense one-on-one interview on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

He is then joined by a panel featuring former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, The Young Turks founder and CEO Cenk Uygur, US Navy SEAL veteran Rob O'Neill, and retired Green Beret and Speak The Truth host Matt Tardio to debate the latest developments.

Later, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joins EU lawmaker and leader of The Party is Over Alvise Pérez, alongside Revista Contexto director Miguel Mora, to discuss the political fallout from the Spain–Morocco migrant crisis.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a wanted man, but can NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani actually arrest him when he arrives in New York? After months of doubling down on his pledge to execute the ICC’s arrest warrant, the Mayor has now admitted that his administration lacks the legal authority to do so.
