IS IT CLARITY OR IS IT
CONFUSION?
IS IT A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD OR
IS IT BEING WALKED BACK?
LET’S BRING IN PIERS MORGAN TO
SEE IF WE CAN CUT THROUGH THE
CONFUSION.
THAT’S KIND OF THE QUESTION,
ISN’T IT?
IS THIS CLARITY OR CONFUSION?
WHAT IS OUR POLICY WHEN IT COMES
TO TAIWAN?
>> WELL, I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD
TELL PRESIDENT BIDEN WHAT THE
POLICY IS BECAUSE THE WHITE
HOUSE SAYS HE’S STUCK TO LONG
TIME POLICY.
BUT HE CLEARLY HASN’T.
LONG TIME POLICY HAS NOT BEEN
THAT THE U.S. WOULD ENGAGE
DIRECTLY MILITARILY IF CHINA
INVADES TAIWAN.
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN STRATEGIC
AMBIGUITY HAS BEEN THE POLICY.
THEY’VE NEVER COMMITTED TO DOING
THAT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN ONCE AGAIN HAS
SAID SOMETHING PUBLIC ABOUT A
BIG FOREIGN POLICY SITUATION
WHICH HAS DRAMATIC
REPERCUSSIONS.
AND THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE TO
IMMEDIATELY, THEY SORT OF WALK
IT BACK, DON’T THEY?
THEY SAY WE’RE NOT WALKING IT
BACK.
THEY CAN’T PRETEND WE JUST HEARD
HIM SAY IS NOT WHAT HE JUST
SAID.
WE’VE HAD THIS ALL YEAR.
AND I JUST THINK IT’S SORT OF A
CRAZY SITUATION WHERE THE LEADER
OF THE FREE WORLD KEEPS MAKING
THESE PRONOUNCEMENTS.
WE KNOW THERE’S CHANGE OF POLICY
IF HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
AND HIS OWN WHITE HOUSE WALKING
IT BACK PRETENDS IT’S NOT A WALK
BACK AND WE’LL HAVE A WALK BACK
OF THE WALK BACK WHICH IS THE
NORMAL PATTERN.
ANSWER IS IT’S CONFUSING AND YOU
CANNOT AFFORD TO BE CONFUSING
AND I ALSO THINK THERE’S A MORAL
INCONSISTENCY HERE BECAUSE HE
WAS ASKED DIRECTLY ABOUT A
COMPARISON WITH WHAT’S HAPPENING
IN UKRAINE BUT CLEARLY, THE
UNITED STATES POLICY HAS BEEN TO
OFFER MILITARY AID IN THE TERMS
OF WEAPONRY BUT NOT TO ENGAGE
MILITARILY AND YET, THEY SEEM TO
BE NOW PURSUING PRESIDENT BIDEN
AND HIS WHITE HOUSE A DIFFERENT
POLICY IF HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID
WITH TAIWAN AND CHINA.
>> Brian: RIGHT.
>> NOT ONLY CONFUSING BUT IT
SEEMS TO ME TO BE MORALLY
INCONSISTENT.
>> Brian: WE WANT TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH YOU, WE BOOK
SOMEBODY TO WALK BACK ANYTHING
YOU SAID THAT IS WRONG IN THE
NEXT BLOCK AFTER WE SAY GOOD-BYE
TO YOU.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, WALKING THINGS
BACK, I’D LIKE TO REMIND MR.
CAIN I’M VERY PLEASED HE’S ON
THIS MORNING.
YESTERDAY, PROBABLY HE MIGHT
REGRET THIS NOW BUT HE WAS
WATCHING WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH
THE BRITISH PREMIER LEAGUE
FOOTBALL FINAL DAY OF THE
SEASON.
VERY DRAMATIC, VERY EXCITING.
AND KIND OF EPICENTER OF DRAMA,
HE DECIDED TO ADDRESS THE WORLD
ON HIS TWITTER FEED BY SAYING
WE’RE WATCHING AN EPIC SEASON OF
COLLAPSE FOR MANCHESTER CITY.
FOR AMERICANS WHO DON’T FOLLOW
THE BRITISH PREMIER LEAGUE,
MANCHESTER CITY AT THE TIME,
MANCHESTER CITY AT THE TIME WERE
2-0 DOWN.
>> Will: YES!
>> THEREFORE, THEY WERE GOING TO
LOSE THE LEAGUE.
AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF MR.
CAIN’S TWEET, MANCHESTER CITY
SCORED THREE GOALS AND WON THE
LEAGUE.
THEREBY RENDERING HIM PROBABLY
THE WORST PUNDIT IN THE HISTORY
OF THE BRITISH PREMIER LEAGUE.
>> Ainsley: TODAY IS CLEANUP
DAY.
>> Will: THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
WILL APPRECIATE US MOVING ON
FROM ENGLISH SOCCER IN A MOMENT.
TWIT CERTIFICATE A REAL TIME
MECHANISM.
I’M A FAN.
MY FANDOM IS FOR MANCHESTER CITY AND THEY WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE
AND THEY WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE
AND I WAS EMOTING AND IT DID END
UP DOMINATING.
DON’T MAKE ME DOMINATE YOU ON
THE BRITISH TOPICS.
IT WOULD BE BAD FOR YOUR CAREER.
>> YEAH, LEAVE THE FOOTBALL TO
ME.
YOU STICK TO GUNS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
WE’LL BE FINE.
>> Brian: THAT’S TRUE.
STEREOTYPE EVERYONE IN TEXAS AS
GUN USERS.
LOOK, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT,
THOUGH, THAT YOU GUYS FOLLOW
EACH OTHER.
IT SHOWS SYMBIOSIS, IT MEANS
YOU’RE PART OF THE FAMILY.
LET’S TALK A LITTLE GOLF.
TIGER TRYING TO GUT HIS WAY OF
MAKING THE CUT AND GETTING
THROUGH THE PGA BUT HE DID HAVE
TIME TO OFFER CONGRATULATIONS TO
JUSTIN THOMAS, BIG CONGRATS TO
JUSTIN THOMAS.
HE KEPT HIMSELF IN THIS
CHAMPIONSHIP UNTIL THE VERY END.
AND ONCE HE GOT HIS SHOT, HE
DIDN’T LOOK BACK.
THANKS TO TULSA AND THE PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP FOR A GREAT WEEK.
THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT GUY
THAN THE WAY HE STARTED THIS
GAME, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I MEAN, A, KUDOS TO
JUSTIN THOMAS.
I WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT AND HE
WAS BEGINNING TO MAKE HIS
CHARGE.
IT WAS AN AMAZING WIN.
BUT ALSO, KUDOS TO TIGER WOODS
WHO I THINK IN A WAY WATCHING
HIM IN CRIPPLING PAIN, REALLY
STRUGGLING ON THAT THIRD DAY
AFTER MANAGING TO MAKE THE CUT
AGAINST ALL THE ODDS.
HAS ALMOST BEEN AS INSPIRING
WATCHING HIM DO THIS AS IT WAS
WHEN HE WAS THE GREATEST PLAYER
IN THE WORLD AND DESTROYING
EVERYBODY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A
YEAR AGO, THIS GUY HAD A CAR
CRASH AFTER A LOT OF OTHER
INJURIES.
BUT A CAR CRASH THAT LOOKED LIKE
IT WAS GOING TO END HIS ENTIRE
GOLF CAREER.
AND WE WERE GOING TO LOSE
ARGUABLY THE GREATEST TO EVER
PLAY THE GAME.
AND HERE HE IS, A YEAR LATER,
SOMEHOW COMPETING WITH THE VERY
BEST.
MANY OF THEM HALF HIS AGE,
SOMEHOW GETTING ROUND TWO, THREE
ROUNDS.
HE DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE END.
BUT MY GOD, THIS GUY IS
INSPIRING.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT TIGER
WOODS THAT KIND OF ROCKY BALBOA
SENTIMENT, NOT HOW MANY TIMES
YOU CAN HIT.
IT’S HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN GET
HERE AND GET UP AND KEEP GOING
FORWARD.
I FIND WHAT’S GOING ON WITH HIM
NOW TRULY INSPIRING.
AND I JUST HOPE FROM -- AS A
GOLF FAN THAT HE MAKES THE OPEN
CHAMPIONSHIP HERE IN BRITAIN IN
JULY.
IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO SEE HIM
THERE.
IT’S AT THE OLD COURSE AT
ANDREWS WHICH HE SAID IS HIS
FAVORITE COURSE IN THE WORLD.
AND I HOPE HE MAKES IT.
I THINK HE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE
THE U.S. OPEN.
BUT HE MIGHT MAKE OUR OPEN.
AND I WOULD LOVE THAT.
BUT I THINK HE’S JUST SUCH -- TO
EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO, YOU
KNOW, WHO THINKS THAT QUITTING IS THE WAY TO GO, GIVING UP, YOU
IS THE WAY TO GO, GIVING UP, YOU
KNOW, IF YOU GOT A SLIGHT ONE,
DON’T MOVE FORWARD.
LOOK HOW HE COMBATS THINGS IN
LIFE.
IT’S EASY WITH HIS MONEY AND
FAME TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT?
I’M GOING TO SIT IT OUT FOR
ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO.
NO, HE WANTS TO TRY TO GET BACK
OUT THERE AND GET BACK TO WHERE
HE WAS.
AND I THINK IT’S INCREDIBLE TO
WATCH.
>> Ainsley: I LOVE THAT THEME
FROM ROCKY.
THAT WAS THE THEME HE WAS ON THE
STREET TALKING TO HIS SON,
RIGHT?
DON’T GIVE UP.
GREAT ONE.
>> Brian: YEAH.
>> IT’S MY FAVORITE THING
OUTSIDE OF MY SONS, THEY
ACTUALLY HAVE GROWN TO HATE IT
OVER THE YEARS.
I REPEAT IT SO OFTEN.
IF YOU ARE BEING A BIT WHINY AND
SPOILED AND A BIT LIKE THE WORLD
HAS GOT IT IN FOR ME, GO AND
WATCH THAT SCENE WHERE ROCKY
TALKS TO HIS SON.
IT’S A GREAT THING FOR LIFE,
ISN’T IT, WE’RE IN A WORLD WHERE
THERE’S A LOT OF SNOW FLAKERY
BEHAVIOR AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
CELEBRATE WEAKNESS AND CELEBRATE
QUITTING.
BUT ACTUALLY, LIFE IS ABOUT
OVERCOMING HURDLES, ISN’T IT,
AND IT’S ABOUT ACTUALLY PROVING
THAT YOU CAN DO THAT.
AND NOT SUCCUMBING TO THE
TEMPTATION JUST TO GIVE UP.
AND I THINK THAT THE MORE THAT
WE HAVE THAT FOR ROLE MODELS,
THE BETTER, FRANKLY.
>> Brian: FOR THE RECORD, AFTER
ROCKY WON, HE LOST AFTER ROCKY
WON.
IF HE HAD QUIT THEN, THERE WOULD
HAVE BEEN NO ROCKY 2, ROCKY 3
AND ROCKY 4.
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN OK WITHOUT
ROCKY 4.
>> Will: THAT’S A GREAT ONE.
ROCKY 4.
>> Brian: ROCKY 5 WAS THE
PROBLEM.
>> CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT 5 WAS A
COMPLETE TURKEY.
I’M SO GLAD THAT THEY WENT BACK
AND MADE THE SIXTH ONE BECAUSE
THE SIXTH ONE WAS A GREAT FILM.
AND ACTUALLY, IT HAD THE
GREATEST OF ALL THE SPEECHES IN
THE ROCKY FILMS.
>> THE ONE YOU KEEP REFERENCING
WHERE HE SAYS TO HIS SON, IT’S
NOT HOW HARD YOU GET HIT.
IT’S WHETHER OR NOT YOU GET UP.
LONG, SHORT OF IT, DO YOU KEEP
GOING ONCE YOU GET HIT HARD?
>> Ainsley: WE HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT THIS.
>> CAN YOU GET KNOCKED DOWN, GET
BACK UP AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
THAT’S THE KEY TO LIFE.
>> Ainsley: IN CASE SOMEBODY
WANTS TO SEE THAT, WAS THAT
NUMBER THREE?
WHERE WAS THAT SCENE?
>> DRAGO.
>> Brian: FIVE WAS --
>> SIX WAS THE BIG ONE.
>> Ainsley: WHERE WAS THAT
SCENE?
WHICH ONE WAS THAT SPEECH?
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE QUEEN.
JUBILEE IS NEXT WEEK AND SHE’S
96 YEARS OLD.
IT’S BEING REPORTED SHE IS
DELEGATING SOME OF HER ROYAL
DUTIES NOW.
HOW IS HER HEALTH?
WHAT’S WORD ON THE STREET OVER
THERE?
>> WELL, I HAD A LONG CHAT WITH
SOMEBODY VERY PLUGGED IN WITH
THE ROYALS AND THE QUEEN, VERY
CLOSE TO PRINCE CHARLES AND I
GOT A FULL BRIEFING AT THE
WEEKEND ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON.
THE TRUTH IS THE QUEEN IS 96.
SHE’S HAVING A LOT OF MOBILITY
ISSUES.
AND THAT’S THE REAL ISSUE.
SHE CAN’T STAND UP FOR VERY LONG
AND SHE HAS GOOD DAYS AND SHE
HAS BAD DAYS.
ANYONE WHO KNOWS SOMEBODY IN
THEIR 90’S WILL RECOGNIZE THIS
IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PHENOMENON FOR
PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET TO THAT
AGE.
THE QUEEN IS A TOUGH LADY.
AND EVERY TIME WE THINK MAYBE
SADLY THAT MAY BE THE BEGINNING
OF THE END.
SHE POPS UP LOOKING RADIANT AS
SHE WAS LAST WEEK AT THE HORSE
SHOW WITH TOM CRUISE AND WE ALL
FEEL GOOD AGAIN.
I THINK THERE’S A SORT OF
PRIVATE CONCERN THAT THEY WANT
HER TO BE AVAILABLE FOR AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PLATINUM
JUBILEE WHICH STARTS, OF COURSE,
A WEEK ON THURSDAY.
IT’S GOING TO BE -- I GOT TO
TELL YOU, THE EXCITEMENT
BUILDING IN THE U.K. AND LONDON
IN PARTICULAR IS ABSOLUTELY
ENORMOUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I
THINK PEOPLE RECOGNIZE WE’RE NOT
GOING TO HAVE THE QUEEN FOR MUCH
LONGER.
AND THIS IS CELEBRATING 70 YEARS
ON THE THRONE.
THE LONGEST REIGNING EVER
BRITISH MONARCH.
AND I THINK THERE IS A GENUINE
FEELING OF THIS IS A WONDERFUL
WAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND TO
RESPECT THAT SERVICE TO HER
COUNTRY.
BUT THERE’S ALSO A PRIVATE
CONCERN THAT HEALTHWISE, YOU
KNOW, IT’S GOING TO BE TRICKY
FOR HER.
SHE’S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO
HALF THE THINGS THAT SHE WOULD
HAVE EVEN DONE TWO YEARS AGO.
SO I THINK THAT THEY ARE TRYING
TO KEEP THINGS GOING AND I THINK
SHE’LL APPEAR FOR -- I WOULD
HOPE THE MOST FAMOUS SCENE WILL
BE THE BALCONY SCENE, THAT’S THE
ONE I KNOW SHE’S DESPERATE TO BE
AT.
BUT I THINK OTHER THINGS WILL BE
DELEGATED AS THEY ALREADY HAVE
BEEN TO HER SON PRINCE CHARLES.
TO HER GRANDSON, PRINCE WILLIAM
AND TO THE IMMEDIATE FIRM, AS
THEY PUT IT.
AND I THINK THAT’S WISE.
I HOPE SHE’S ABLE TO MAKE IT FOR
THE BIG CELEBRATIONS OF THAT
FOUR-DAY HOLIDAY, BECAUSE I
THINK WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO BE
ABLE TO SEE HER SMILING AND TO
SAY THANK YOU, MA’AM, FOR
EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE DONE.
>> Ainsley: I’M HONORED I GET TO
FLY TO ENGLAND AND COVER THIS
WITH YOU AND MARTHA MCCALLUM.
WE’LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
IT WILL START NEXT WEEK.
WE FLY IN TUESDAY AFTER THE SHOW
AND WE’LL BE THERE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
>> I’M GOING TO TAKE YOU --
EVERY DAY, WE’LL BE DOING IT FOR
TWO DAYS, I THINK, AND WE HAVE A
BIG FOUR HOUR SLOG WITH ME
GIVING YOU MY EXPERT OPINIONS
ABOUT THE ROYAL FAMILY.
AND THEN I THINK WE CAN ALL
AGREE WE’RE ALL GOING TO NEED A
DRINK AFTER THAT, AFTER ME
BANGING ON FOR FOUR HOURS.
I HAVE A NICE LOCAL PUB LINED UP
FOR YOU.
AND WE WILL THEN GO AND HAVE A
FEW LIVEENERS TO CHEER OURSELVES
UP AFTER FOUR HOURS OF ME.
>> Brian: IF YOU DON’T MIND,
WE’RE GOING TO FLY HER OVER,
SHE’LL GO DRINKING.
WOULD IT BE BETTER IF MARTHA AND
AINSLEY HAD A CHANCE TO STAY
WITH YOU AT YOUR MANSION?
AT YOUR COMPOUND?
SO WE DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE
HOTEL?
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
I DON’T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE
SPOT.
>> IT WOULD BE MY -- LISTEN,
WE’RE ALL ONE FAMILY NOW, BRIAN.
MY HOMES ARE YOUR HOMES.
ANY OF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO FOR
THE NIGHT, I’M YOUR GUY.
>> Ainsley: MY HOMES ARE YOUR
HOMES.
>> Brian: THAT’S FANTASTIC.
>> Will: HE’LL LOVE IT WHEN I
SHOW UP.
>> JUST LEAVE WILL BEHIND.
I’M NOT READY FOR HIM WITH HIS
FOOTBALL OPINION.
BUT I’M ACTUALLY VERY EXCITED.
I THINK WE’LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN
IN LONDON.
IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT.
WEATHER FORECAST IS PRETTY GOOD.
LOOKS LIKE IT WON’T BE MUCH RAIN
AND A LOT OF SUNSHINE AROUND.
IT COULD BE A GLORIOUS FEW DAYS.
AND WHAT BETTER WAY FOR YOU,
AINSLEY, AND FOR MARTHA THAN TO
SPEND IT WITH ME?
>> RIGHT.
>> CAN’T WAIT.
>> Brian: SAY FOR YOURSELF.
>> Will: UNCENSORED ON FOX
NATION 4:30 EASTERN TIME, CATCH
IT THERE.
>> Brian: WATCH PIERS MORGAN AND
WATCH ROCKY 6 AND WAIT FOR THAT
SPEECH.
THANK YOU, PIERS.
