Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis is sad news on a personal level - but has also become the subject of much political concern, with the Democrats left answering questions about how fit he was to be President throughout his term. The worries about his cognitive decline go back to at least 2019 - and now we know that he probably had cancer for a large part of his presidency but - somehow this was not detected. To debate this and other recent political controversies, Piers Morgan is joined by  host of ‘The Michael Knowles Show' on Daily Wire Michael Knowles, streamer and commentator Destiny,  host of ‘The Rubin Report' Dave Rubin and host of the ‘Democracy-Ish' podcast Wajahat Ali. Then, Piers is joined by Senior Advisor to the Trump transition team and the Trump 2024 campaign, Jason Miller.

The monologue today focuses on Trump's phone call to Putin and his lies about him saving trapped Ukrainian fighters. Plus, Trump doing Putin a favor by silencing Voice of America. Next, he speaks with Wajahat Ali. He's a columnist, public speaker, former attorney, and Sr. Fellow at the Western States Center. They talk about Trump's rankfuckery and his weekly columns on his SubStack – The Left Hook, his Democracy-ish Podcast with Danielle Moody, and his Youtube series on Trump's First 100 Days for Zeteo News called “America Unhinged”. And finally, comedian Rhonda Hansome returns to joke with John and listeners about Elon and DOGE, the illegal deportation of Venezuelan immigrants, and Chuck Schumer disappointing the LEFT by voting for the GOP funding bill.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia shook Europe's belief in its own security architecture in a way not seen since the second world war - but even more surprising to the European mind is how the new US President views the conflict. Donald Trump has called President Zelensky a 'dictator' in a recent press conference, and for that, has earned widespread condemnation from America's closest allies. So is Trump really turning on Ukraine? Or could this be some kind of tactic pulled straight from 'The Art of the Deal'? To discuss, Piers Morgan brings Republican Congressman Rep Dan Crenshaw, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, host of 'Democracy-Ish' Wajahat Ali and host of 'System Update' Glenn Greenwald together on Uncensored.

One of the first and most controversial things that Donald Trump has done since returning to the presidency has been to pardon the participants of the notorious January 6th Capitol attack of 2021; even the ones who attacked the police. As it was happening, Republican politicians condemned the rioters in the strongest terms, but four years on, they've changed their tune. Was it a protest? A riot? Or a genuine attempt to overthrow American democracy? Pardoned protestor Jacob Chansley, also known as QAnon Shaman and former Capitol police officer Winston Pingeon go head-to-head on the subject, joined on the Uncensored panel by Vinny Oshana from the 'PBD' podcast and Wajahat Ali from the 'Democracy-Ish' podcast. Piers Morgan also speaks to historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson and formerly imprisoned Democrat Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who was freed by Trump.

With only five days until Donald Trump's return to the US presidency, the list of problems and issues that will require his attention is growing in size. There's a prospective ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the confirmation of his cabinet staff and the still-raging fires in Los Angeles, California. These hurdles must be overcome - but how? To Illuminate the issues and provide viewers with the possible, and probable outcomes, Piers Morgan turns to host of 'The Michael Knowles Show' Michael Knowles, host of 'Rubin Reports' Dave Rubin, 'Democracy-Ish Podcast' host Wajahat Ali and Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky. Then, Piers talks to LA resident Rachel Darvish, who confronted California Governor Gavin Newsom over the wildfires in her city. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The judicial clouds are gathering over Trump's upcoming inauguration. Will this set the tone for his second term?!

Episode 85.  As the new secular year begins, along with the incoming presidential administration, it's a good time to hear a shortened version of my conversation with the esteemed journalist and speaker Wajahat Ali. Given the dominance of White Christian Nationalism and the debate about immigration, Wajahat's Sunni Muslim American identity and his family's Pakistani immigrant history, make him an ideal partner to talk about religious pluralism in America today. In this conversation we explore the challenges minorities face as well as the fears, hate and discomfort that drive the antagonism and protectionism of White Supremacy. But our conversation is not completely dark. Wajahat raises reasons for hope and steps we can each take towards a brighter future of dignity and freedom. Highlights:·       White Christian Nationalism.·       Balancing group identity and assimilation; history and modernity; religion and secularism.·       Suburban communities' fear despite material abundance.·       Progressives ceded spirituality to the right.·       Stand for dignity, freedom; reject hate-driven leadership.·       Steps of awareness, intention, and action for individual contributions.Bio:Wajahat is a New York Times contributing op-ed writer and Daily Beast columnist, public speaker, and recovering attorney. He also regularly appears on cable news and radio to discuss politics, religion, foreign policy and culture. Wajahat often speaks on the multifaceted American experience, covering our growing need for cultural unity, racial diversity, and inclusion.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Wajahat Ali, columnist, public speaker, author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American, and co-host of the Democracy-Ish podcast, to discuss the recent Presidential election results. We examine the factors behind Trump's unexpected victory, from the GOP's powerful media network to grievance-based messaging. Ali critiques Democrats' coordinated strategy, while figures like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk rallied young people, fostering an 'us vs. them' culture. Together, we dissect Trump's lasting appeal despite his divisive, authoritarian tactics and warn of the dangers his consolidation of power poses for free speech, minority rights, and judicial independence. We stress the urgent need for resistance and the media's role in safeguarding democratic values.

In 1996, after earning her bachelor's degree in political science from Pitzer College and a master's degree in international political economy from Claremont Graduate University, Mucarsel-Powell moved to Florida. There she raised money for nonprofits like the Hope Center, the Zoo Miami Foundation, and the Coral Restoration Foundation. Before entering politics Mucarsel-Powell held various posts at Florida International University, including associate dean of its College of Medicine, where she contributed to efforts to expand health care services in the state. “I was always very passionate about being involved, helping people in the community because I was very grateful for the opportunity I got when I came here,” Mucarsel-Powell told McClatchy. She was elected in 2018 on a platform of health care expansion, gun reform, immigration reform, and a commitment to addressing climate change. She sits on the House Judiciary Committee and is a member of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. The issue of gun violence is particularly personal to her because Mucarsel-Powell's father was murdered outside his home in Ecuador when she was 24. She has invoked her family's experience in advocating for gun-safety measures such as universal background checks, explaining how it drives her to “take action to do what you can so that no one has to go through what you went through.” 35 minutes Wajahat Ali is a Daily Beast columnist, public speaker, recovering attorney, and tired dad of three cute kids.

This episode features interviews from the past two intense weeks... first Sam discusses recent events and updates from the intensifying situation in the US. Then, we share two interviews: first with Aziza Ahmed to discuss the implications of two years without Roe and recent SCOTUS rulings on abortion rights. Aziza is a professor of law at Boston University where she also serves as the Co-Founder and Director of the BU Program on Reproductive Justice. Follow Aziza's work at bu.edu/law/profile/aziza-ahmed. Then, Sam talks with returning guest and prolific commentator Wajahat Ali about Trump, the recent vile slate of SCOTUS decisions including the declaration that the president is a king, and the deteriorating situation in Gaza as the US-backed Israeli siege drags on with no end in sight. Follow Wajahat at thelefthook.substack.com and @wajahatali.
