>> I SUPPORT HIM FOR HIS
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND HE IS MY
FRIEND.
I’M NOT RACIST.
I FEEL EVEN LIKE I’M ABOUT TO
BE PUT IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
BECAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND WHO
MANY PEOPLE THINK IS A RACIST.
SO THAT MAKES ME A RACIST.
>> Gillian: THAT FROM THE CBS
SHOW THE TALK NOW TAKING A
BREAK AFTER CO-HOST SHARON
OSBORN DEFENDED HER FRIEND,
PIERS MORGAN.
SHE APOLOGIZED FOR DOING SO.
WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT PIERS
MORGAN SLAMMED DUCHESS MEGHAN
SAYING HE DIDN’T BELIEVE A
THING SHE SAID AFTER THE OPRAH
INTERVIEW.
HE QUIT HIS JOB HOSTING A
PROMINENT BRITISH MORNING TV
SHOW AFTER HE GOT MAJOR
BACKLASH OVER HIS COMMENTS.
LET’S BRING IN FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR AND MEDIA EXPERT
JOE CONCHA.
LET’S FIRST BREAK DOWN CBS’S
MOVES HERE.
THEY PUT THE SHOW ON HOLD FOR
MONDAY AND TUESDAY SO THEY CAN
CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION.
TELL US IN MEDIA EXEC SPEAK
WHAT THAT MEANS AND ALSO WHAT
THEY ARE INVESTIGATING.
WE SAW EVERYTHING GO DOWN LIVE
ON THE AIR, DIDN’T WE?
>> WE DID.
AGAIN GILLIAN, WE’RE
INVESTIGATING SOMEBODY’S
OPINION IN A BENIGN ONE WITH
SHARON OSBORN ON THE TALK FOR
MORE THAN A DECADE GIVING THESE
SORT OF OPINIONS.
JUST TO IMPACT HOW INSANE THIS
EPISODE IS, PIERS MORGAN, ALSO
PAID TO GIVE UNFILTERED AND
CANDID OPINIONS, HE WEIGHS IN
ON MEGHAN MARKLE SAYS HE
DOESN’T BELIEVE SHE WAS DENIED
BY THE ROYAL FAMILY ANY
ASSISTANCE WHEN SHE SAID SHE
HAD THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OR
THOUGHT THAT THE ROYAL FAMILY
WAS RACIST AND HE HAS A RIGHT
TO THAT OPINION.
THIS INTERVIEW WAS WATCHED BY
18 MILLION PEOPLE.
INSTEAD YOU HAVE A BRITISH
REGULATOR, BRITISH GOVERNMENT
INVESTIGATING PIERS MORGAN FOR
HIS OPINION ON THIS.
WE HAVE IT WITH CBS AND BRITAIN.
LOOK, IT WAS PRESIDENT KENNEDY
WHO I BELIEVE CONFORMITY IS THE
JAILER OF FREEDOM AND THE ENEMY
OF GROWTH.
EVEN PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SPOKEN
OUT ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE.
>> Gillian: HOW DOES ONE EVEN
IF YOU ARE A VERY POWERFUL
MEDIA EXEC, HOW DOES SOMEBODY
INVESTIGATE SOMEBODY ELSE’S
OPINION?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> YOU DON’T.
NOW YOU’VE ATTRACTED ALL THIS
ATTENTION, GILLIAN, TO THIS
SHOW THAT’S ON MID MORNINGS ON
CBS OVER SOMETHING THAT I’LL
BET IF CBS DOESN’T PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO THIS IT GOES AWAY.
SHARN OSBORN DIDN’T SAY
ANYTHING WRONG.
SHE DISAGREED WITH HIM AND
DIDN’T BELIEVE HIM BUT HIS
RIGHT TO HIS OPINION.
LET ME SHARE THIS POLL.
HARVARD HARRIS PROVIDED TO THE
HILL.
64% AMERICANS, 2/3 THINK THAT
CANCEL CULTURE POSES A THREAT
TO FREEDOM IN THE U.S.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
IF THE PATTERN HOLDS SHARON
OSBORN MAY BE OUT OF A JOB.
THAT’S WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
SHE WORKS FOR A FULL DECADE AND
HER CAREER IS DONE.
A 60 SOMETHINGIER OLD WOMAN WHO
SAID PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT
TO THEIR OPINIONS.
>> Gillian: SHE HAS BEEN
CO-HOSTING THIS SHOW FOR ALL 11
SEASONS.
WE DON’T KNOW IF THAT GOES ON.
IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS SHOW
OR NETWORK.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF A SHOW
CALLED THE BACHELOR ON ABC.
UNDERGOING THEIR HOST, CHRIS
HARRISON UNDER SCRUTINY, BIG
SCANDAL BECAUSE OF HIS MOVES
DEFENDING ONE OF THEIR
CONTESTANTS WHO WAS PERCEIVED
TO HAVE SAID SOMETHING RACIALLY
INSENSITIVE.
>> HE HAS BEEN ON -- DOING THAT
SHOW FOR MORE THAN 20 SEASONS
NOW AND HE IS NOT COMING BACK
AS WELL FOR SAYING WE’RE IN A
DIFFERENT WORLD IN 2021 AND
2018 AS FAR AS VIEWING RACISM
IS CONCERNED.
IT IS CRAZY AND INSANITY QUITE
FRANKLY.
>> Gillian: THANK YOU FOR
