Finding Signal Against the Noise | Piers Morgan | EP 469

Dr. Jordan Peterson sits down with journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan. They discuss the rapid success of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the utility in the mindset of a true journalist, false versus substantive activism, why proper and open debate resonates so strongly today, Donald Trump, and the pressing need for everyone to speak their minds.

Piers Morgan is an English broadcaster, journalist, writer, and television personality who has become one of the most preeminent and influential figures in global media. His meteoric ascendency in the industry began at The Sun newspaper, and he later became the youngest ever editor of The News of The World before taking over as Editor of the Daily Mirror. After leaving the Daily Mirror, Piers pivoted into a career in television gaining prominence as a judge on the reality television show, “Britain's Got Talent,” and its American counterpart, “America's Got Talent.” Piers now hosts “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on YouTube, amassing over 3 million subscribers in two and a half years, making it the fastest growing YouTube channel in broadcasting.

[nildameers]

Piers are you going to talk about what is going on in the UK with the protest on the immigration problem that is affecting the communities and the rape, abuse, human trafficking?

[englishroses]

I don’t know about under 45s, veering away from MSM but I am 71 and rely on YouTube for EVERYTHING! Can’t remember last time I watched MSM.

[brianalbert]

as a loyal uncensored viewer, I will say that bringing people together from both sides of an issue gives viewers like me a wonderful educational opportunity. I hear both sides and get to make up my own mind

[mischawhite]

Piers when talking about Keir Starmer's new government "I think we're ready for some calm and stability". Wow the timing of the release of this interview...

[BeefHair]

Jordan please weigh in on the UK riots

[kathieluedeke]

When was this recorded? Your Prime Minister's handling of the mass immigration protests have been horrendous.

[wjjz]

My wife and I are 61 and 59...we literally "listen" to youtube political talk shows as our grandparents listened to Radio Shows in the 1920's. We could NOT take any longer, the outright lies and obvious agenda of MSM TV News and the format also no longer worked.

[SeroTolerance]

Jordan, thank you for bringing the issues faced in Britain to your global platform in recent weeks. I don’t think you realise how appreciative us silent Britons are for your raising awareness on the injustices being perpetrated in the name of ludicrous ideology. Please continue to do so, your support is so important. Thank you 🙏

[CasperLD]

When will Piers apologize to Tommy Robinson?

[cameronhale]

Nearly spat my brew out when Piers referred to himself as a journalist...

[jwillett]

To suggest Starmer is close to the centre is laughable

[TraceyHenderson-ysiq]

Every morning I wake up I hear Jordan in my head say
“Make your bed!”
It does make me smile ❤

[kmsheets]

I’ve grown to like Piers. Even when he says things I disagree with, I can see that he is at least seeking truth, and he is open to new information.

[alexr]

WOW, Piers not interrupting and actively listening. Amazing he can do it, we now have proof that he can be respectful

[mrg]

Yes we are starving for facts, honesty & integrity. Bring back genuinity.

[AngloSaxonNWG]

Who else is sick of Antiwhiteism ravaging the West? 🙋🏼

[Mondegreen]

I lost respect for Piers after he supported the disastrous covid jab experiments, instead of doing his job as a journalist.

[guiltybyassociation]

1:00:11 wow he calls Nigel a snake when in reality, Nigel was showing that he's actually a loyal friend to Donald Trump by showing him who the real Piers Morgan is. Piers is like a broken clock, he's right twice a day. He has so many bad takes, Talks about how bad Boris Johnson was over the pandemic (which he was )but thinks Starmer would of handled that better, Starmer would of been far more draconian, we know this from his rhetoric at the time. Just look at how he's handling the current riots and protests, he's a tyrant. Remember Piers is the same man who called for the people who refused to get the vaccine to not receive medical treatment, Piers Morgan- "Those who refuse to be vaccinated, with no medical reason not to, should be refused NHS care if they then catch covid. Don't get me wrong i don't dislike Piers but sometimes i dont understand how he arrives at some of his positions and i do think hes a bit of a snake, so hearing call Nigel one is very rich lol

[masteringr]

This was actually a very revealing interview for Piers. He’s clearly motivated by making a lasting name for himself instead of just pursuing truth like he’d lead you to believe. He’s in some ways the antithesis to Jordan. Jordan is doing this because he feels he has to whereas piers is doing this because he wants to catch the wave and ride the high of the “crackling” (his word) live audience, for example. Very revealing.

The main reason I can trust someone like Jordan is because you can tell he’d rather be living quietly than in the spotlight. Even as he’s gotten more comfortable he’s always aware of the narcissistic tendencies that can take over and seems to protect against those.

[SHelob]

Piers, this interview didn’t go down well as your endorse Starmer! Outrageous!!! He should immediately resign
