What a great match-up, Andrew Neil with Piers Morgan. Normally, I can't stand Piers Morgan, especially as an interviewer, but as a political pundit, and with Piers giving respect to both Freddy Grey AND Mr Neil in not trying to hog the limelight, as he often does, I thought this worked very well.

[jimjam]

I stumbled on this after the debate. Piers Morgan certainly didn't expect KH to wipe the floor with Trump.

[IlluminatiSilver]

Piers on his show says he is neither for Trump nor Harris and then starts by completely destroying Harris. What a hypocrite.

[simonkinzley]

Excellent predictions from these guys ha ha ha. Talk about confusing what they wanted to happen with what was likely to happen.

[DaboooogA]

While it seems this discussion didn't age well in the wake of the debate, Freddie was right about how the media would over-inflate Kamala's very average performance.

[nupjohn]

Morgan just so delighted to be Trump's friend. It's embarrassing how often he mentions that he spoke to him.Get your nose from out of his backside Piers. Remember how it went with your Megan crush.
That did not end well for you.

Pre COVID. I would never of imagined watching Youtube like I do now. Or that I'd be watching anything like Spectator TV, or not minding listening to Piers Morgan speak but i do. And I i do quite willingly. Suppose thats what maturing is all about 😅
Its just so refreshing being able to hear all sides of the story for once and debating in good faith.

[darthmonkey]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. How on earth did these two get to where they have.

[Gorbyrev]

Wow, Andrew Neil's prediction on the debate's outcome was spot on.

[popicelolly]

The Spectator is wrong... again. She wiped the floor with him.

[robinkleinsteuber]

No, Trump has NOT lost his mojo, so stop hoping.

[robmendes]

Hope you all ate your words after the debate!!!!

[Babblebabble]

Hardly fascinating, I could've written the script of how this interview would've gone and what Andrew Neil and Piers Morgan would've said.

[patrickcrowther]

That was a great discussion. Mr Neil gets his fair share of respect but Mr Morgan deserves more.

[bobleonard]

All Kamala has to go is throw out the words "crowd size", and Trump will waste the rest of his time rambling about having the biggest crowds.

[jaredcorbin]

Piers was wrong .... he should be used to that, though... also when someone is 81 it is not early onset dementia, it is just dementia at that stage!

[MartinGarthwaite]

The more and more I hear Piers speak in what appears to be Trumps UK press secretary the more I worry. I had always assumed he was simply a contrarian. Sane washing Trumps talking points with an English accent which as we all know endows him with a supposed 10 additional IQ points must appeal to Trump and his base. Trump the greatest debater of all time…

[colleenhinton]

The Biden/Trump debate did NOT end Biden's run. Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and Clooney did that with some behind the scene threats as well as pointed opinion pieces. Voters SHOULD remember that Kamala Harris said, just the week before that debate, that Biden was 'sharp as a tack', so that should give you some indication of either her judgment skills or truthfulness or BOTH.

[ChrisKirtley]

One reason the Trump campaign has lost some impetus is because Steve Bannon is locked away as a political prisoner. Never forget.

Hey Pierce, did you eat cats and dogs when you migrated from England to the US?
