Cenk Uygur joined Piers Morgan's panel to debate the Iran war and called Ben Ferguson an "Israel first son of a bitch" on live television. It didn't stop there.
Pete Hegseth took to the podium today to brief the American people directly — bypassing the press — on the U.S. military's campaign against Iran. By every measure from every military expert Larry spoke to, it's been a nearly unmitigated success: over 120 Iranian Navy ships damaged or sunk, all 11 of Iran's submarines destroyed, and Iran's military ports crippled. Whether you agree with the strategy or not, the tactical execution has been extraordinary.
But the media isn't covering that. Instead, they're running what Larry's Salem Media colleague Dennis Prager calls the "proctologist view of America" — always looking for the worst possible angle, especially when a Republican is in the White House. Hegseth put it plainly: a dishonest, anti-Trump press will stop at nothing to downplay progress and amplify every cost.
Then came the Piers Morgan panel. Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur sat down with Ben Ferguson to debate the Iran conflict — and within minutes was screaming obscenities, calling Ferguson a traitor, claiming Israel paid $100 million to Congress and $337 million to Donald Trump, and demanding everyone "stop working for Israel, you corrupt sons of bitches." Ben Ferguson's reaction said everything. Piers Morgan thanked his guests — including the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Foreign Minister of Norway, who had the misfortune of witnessing it all.
Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar, who has been a Minnesotan for "a minute and a half" per Larry, weighed in on fellow Minnesotan Pete Hegseth — calling him "pathetic" and lamenting his presence on the national stage. Larry had thoughts on that too.
