Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to another edition of Morgan's Mailbag, where I give my real-time reactions to your comments, questions and occasional unhinged conspiracy theories about the content we've been serving up on Uncensoredet. As usual, they've been curated without my prior involvement by individuals are considered to be not just colleagues or serfs, but also my family. The uncensored producers. Okay, let's get started. This week after his death at the age of 76, we debated the legacy of O.J. Simpson with a specifically assembled panel of legal mind. I just want to end by asking all of you to sum up in one sentence, O.J. Simpson. Alan Dershowitz. I think his case contributed positively to seeing police corruption in Los Angeles to exposing the racial divide in America. It is a mathematical certainty, as far as I'm concerned,
Starting point is 00:00:57 that O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown Simpson. Long before he jumped in that bronco, I ran from the police, he was using white vehicles to escape black realities. He never wanted to be part of us. Hello Dolly. Question beneath any debate or must matter. Why are we even discussing his legacy? He's a murderer. That is true. But he was acquitted, of course, in a criminal trial of that murder. He was only found guilty in a civil trial. And that's why it's a fascinating story of our times. Why was he acquitted in the criminal trial? A lot of it came down to his celebrity status, to race, to many other issues.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So that's what makes it such an interesting and intriguing story even now three decades later. At Kevin doing his thing said this is why we need to get racist crooked cops off the force. They ruined the prosecution and set a killer free. Well, that is true. There's no doubt that the behavior of the LAPD people involved in this was completely outrageous. And there's no doubt that that was also, I suspect, playing on the minds of the predominantly black jury who had been witnessed to a lot of other injustice from the LAPD, not least, of course, the Rodney King beating that was seen around the world. So I think that a lot of that was going on as well in this case.
Starting point is 00:02:14 The legendary Dr. Phil was my special guest last week on Censit. And I think some of it is an intentional assault on family values in America. And I focus on family because I do think it's the backbone. I think if the family falls apart and starts to erode, then I think, everything falls behind that. At Anureta said, I love how Dr. Phil can say the same thing as many conservative-minded talking heads without being nasty or inflammatory. He puts out basic common sense, but does so with kindness and an overall air of compassion, refreshing. I completely agree.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I've always enjoyed my time with Dr. Phil. He's a really smart guy. He's a wise guy. And he's somebody who wants to bring people together, not create yet more toxic division. And I'm all for it. As part of our discussion, I pressed Dr. Phil on whether he thought, his old friend, Nogbara Winfrey, had let fans down by admitting to taking a weight loss drug. If you're representing Weight Watchers, and that is not actually how you yourself are losing weight, and you get caught out having denied you're using one of these drugs,
Starting point is 00:03:20 and then you have to admit it, you're kind of admitting not a crime, but you are admitting that you've been deceiving people, aren't you? Oprah could have kept her mouth shut and not said a word to anybody. Doesn't owe anybody an explanation? It doesn't have to say anything about it, but she chose to do so because she discovered something that she thought a lot of people, particularly women, were suffering through. And she's, I think she thought, look, I'm going to take some heat for this, but I owe it to people to share this revelation and give them an exit ramp just like I've taken. And I commend her for doing it.
Starting point is 00:04:03 At Donna Pierce wasn't surprised by Phil's response. Phil's not going to say anything bad about Oprah. She was deceitful, hold her to account. I kind of agree. I think if you're fronting Weight Watchers and you don't be honest with people who are buying Weight Watchers products by telling them you're actually on something like a Zempeg,
Starting point is 00:04:21 which is what the case was with Oprah, that you're being deliberately deceitful and fraudulent, frankly, towards your fans who are following one way that they're supposed to be losing weight that you're endorsing without realizing you're just popping a load of people. pills another way. Well, the appropriately named at level of crazy even has some kind words for me.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Well, almost. Piers, if you had more of this content, I would watch your show more. Too often it sees you just pump out negativity. Let's continue to bring positivity and be part of a solution. I completely agree. Let's be happy, happy campers. Come on, all of us. Group hugs. Did you know that Jesus Christ was a vegan? No, me neither, because he wasn't. But that's exactly Well, the directors of a new documentary, Christ Spiracy, argue. I, of course, was more than happy to argue back. Give me one piece of evidence that proves that Jesus was a vegetarian. Do you think Jesus would kill an animal?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Because at the time, back in the day, he would be the one who killed it. Matthew 14, and he caused the fisherman's nets to be filled on two different occasions. The forerunner of the move at John the Baptist was known in multiple historical sources to eat only plant-based foods. What's that going to do with Jesus? You're just naming other people. Pierce, what was served at the last supper? Do you remember? Why do you tell me what you think was served?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Veggie burgers? They say this is massively, massively groundbreaking, and it's going to really be a new chapter for Christianity. You guys want him to be a vegetarian so badly when I'm not prepared to twist the actual Bible to do that. Pierce, there's an ethical way to eat an avocado. You are party to mass murder. Mass murder.
Starting point is 00:06:05 It's fair to say the vegans came out in force in their reaction to my reaction on this. You can always tell a vegan because they'll quickly tell you. But at Steph B. McCoy said it's unsettling how angry Peir gets at the idea that eating meat is bad. I feel like eating meat is a weird cult. At Eva Mueller, quit. Maybe it's the amount of burgers and fries Mr. Organ eats making him behave in a very silly and ridiculous way. He's not capable of conducting a fair debate. And at all beings, I love our men, said,
Starting point is 00:06:32 Pears is a jackass. Give up, buddy. Be sane and be a vegan. Amen. The trouble of being a vegan is the gruel that you serve yourselves other than being rankly hypocritical because you like munching avocados and almonds which involve the
Starting point is 00:06:48 mass murder of billions of bees. Other than that, also the stuff you eat is just tasteless. Grual. And I like meat. Like a lot of animals in the jungle. Like eat eating meat. That's why they eat each other. The other night, I went, out in New York to the Ralph Lauren Polo Bar,
Starting point is 00:07:05 and I tucked into a massive steak, and I loved it. And no, I don't care where it came from. I enjoyed it very much. So, sorry, vegans. You can be as hungry as you like with me. I don't care. Iran's dramatic attack on Israel
Starting point is 00:07:20 was the subject of a number of fascinating and heated debates this week. While we are looking at the immediate response is a general shift in policy. That is the only way we can get out of this mess. The majority of the Iranian people, both inside and outside of Iran disagree with him. In fact, there are thousands and thousands of Iranians
Starting point is 00:07:38 who wish that Israel will assist the people of Iran in bringing down this regime. Yeah, I mean, look, a lot of absurd things were said there. Are you Iranian? It may be that what they've done with this missile strike directly into Israel is part of the same process, deliberately goading Israel into potentially overreacting, which may ultimately play into Iran's hands.
Starting point is 00:08:01 At Mr. Baluchi 7. So why don't the West stay out of the Middle East and leave them to deal with their own problems? Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria and Iran retaliated. What's the big deal? Well, it's all a big deal. And if it's only as simple as you're outlying, then we'd never need to get involved. But unfortunately, there have been wars raging in the Middle East for a long time, which directly impact the rest of the world. And the rest of the world needs to take a view about this.
Starting point is 00:08:25 At Superman OG criticizes me of even talking about this subject. Peir is now milking the Iran-Israel escalation harder than a farmer. milks his cows. Well, no, I'm not really, am I? It's the biggest news story in the world. Obviously, if Iran, for the first time ever directly attacks Israel, that is a news story. If you want to talk about the weather, talk about the weather. But I'll talk about the biggest news story. Sorry, not sorry. At John Battersby took the brave decision to defend me. Lots of people in the comments love to call peers out for asking panelists to condemn evil actions. I say keep asking peers. It's a logical thing to ask and should be easy to answer.
Starting point is 00:08:59 The fact some can't do it speaks volumes and exposes people day in, day out, don't stop. I completely concur with you. Yes, if you can't condemn evil, whoever perpetrates it, then you are part of the problem. And I will ask you to condemn things. This is a message to all my guests. And if you can't condemn acts of terror, I'm going to demand to know why. Well, this week saw the launch of the first luxury product from Mega Markle's the new America Riviera Orchard brand, the world's most ridiculous name.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Drumroll. Introducing Markle brand strawberry jam, a limited edition rustic jam. It's apparently made from strawberries harvested from the mountains of Montecito. It features handmade labels reportedly featuring Megan's own calligraphy. Unfortunately, many have noted the labels seem to be peeling off. One of Harry and Megan's friends on Instagram, strawberry jam makes me happy and I love your jam. Another let this review, I absolutely love this jam, so I'm not sure I'm sharing it with anyone. Thank you, M. I'm sure I'd love that jam too. But how amusing to see these two reduce to jam sellers, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's pretty much all they've got less, because all they had before that could make any money was trashing their families and we're bored of it. They've trashed them so many times, so badly, so despicably that we're all just bored with them. And now there they are in their California mansion, flogging jam. That's it. What a way to lead their lives. Well, Disney's Bordrum Battle was a subject. of a popular debate viewed by more than a half a million of you so far.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I just think Disney should go back to what they're good at. It's a fantastic company that used to make fantastic movies and hardly ever had a flop because they knew their audience so well. And the people who made Barbie didn't bother to watch one of the 47 animated Barbie films. At the end of the day, it was a fresh original concept. People want to go see diverse films. No, they don't. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:10:58 There was nothing diverse about it. We don't see a good film. Barbie was not a film about diversity. It was a film bashing men, attacking the patriarchy, and saying that all the good things in the world are female. And the only funny thing about it was at the Oscars. It was all about Ryan Gosling.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Ken had the last laugh. That was the irony. It's fair to say that Ernest Owens, who thinks cancelled culture is a good idea, was outnumbered. Adrian Jorries said three, four with peers against one. That was an uphill battle. However, they're right. Disney's been losing sight of what it does
Starting point is 00:11:29 because of identity politics. I fear that is the case. I love Disney. It's a great company. It makes great movies, but they've caught the old woke virus, and the public don't like it, and they need to reverse ferret
Starting point is 00:11:41 and go back to being what Disney was always about, which is an all-inclusive family entertainment movie vehicle. A lot of you like At Joseph 798, pointed this out. I'm surprised Ernest didn't pull a muscle all the eye-rolling he kept doing. Case you missed it. Here's an earnest eye-rolling montage. At Batonde said absolute respect against him. appears for having critical drinker and the drotting on again and noticing the fact that certain
Starting point is 00:12:19 people on YouTube have a valid point and have more to say on pop culture. I completely agree. I didn't really know much about those guys before we started having them on the show. I love them. Experts in their field, great opinions, and they draw a lot of eyeballs. People love seeing them debate stuff. So we'll get them back. And finally this week, your reaction to my interview with father and son sporting supremos, Barry and Eddie Hearn. If Tyson Fury beats Usik in that first fight, the whole world he's going to say, please don't do the second fight. And will it, if you get it, Joshua Fury,
Starting point is 00:12:52 how much could that fight now be worth? I mean, certainly it's, you know, you're talking north of a hundred million for each guy. I mean, it's... But the richest fight ever? Ever. The biggest fight ever, a bird of commotion. He's walking up and down the hall.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Owing his chest. So I'm up and mum's gone. Barry, will you stop exaggerating? and it's just indigestion. So I'm going to get you some milk. And he says, I'm having a heart attack. Let's give it 20 minutes to see how you are. That was the actual line she used.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I'll pay a lot of tax. I earn a lot of money. I know a lot of people that don't pay any tax. They're not happy. You can save kids, right? They might just educate. Every fighter that you talk about will tell you that boxing saved them.
Starting point is 00:13:37 It saved their life in terms of direction or crime or opportunity. And I see up to me with my own kids walking through those doors. I experienced it walking through those doors. I was always taught the value of hard work and you don't get anything without working hard, but he still gave me whatever he could. I'll faff over a decision sometimes because I want perfection, whereas I'll go to him and say, let's just do that, no, do that, get it done. What would you say? What was the question? What would you change about yourself? Give him a heart, very little. No, I just, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I don't think I've changed anything about me. I know that's a selfish thing. I don't agree. But other people would. Pears, what would you change about you? I wouldn't. At Gary O'Connor 7004 said the herns are absolute legends. Nothing but pure success and hard work.
Starting point is 00:14:27 That's why they're the best in the game. And at Mark Pillay, 9-838, agreed. I'm not British, but I wish I was to fully understand a banter between pure Brits. Nice one, Piers. I agree. I love the Hearns. I think they're a brilliant example of a father and son
Starting point is 00:14:41 with a real abiding love and respect for each other. And I love that. That came across so well in the interview. But also the benefit of hard graft, those two work really hard and they deserve all their success. Decent people who have worked hard to achieve what they've achieved. And I think we should hold them up the hearns as a great example of what a good work ethic
Starting point is 00:15:05 and a good love of family can do for anybody. Well, that's it from Miss Edition of Morgan's Mailbag.
