Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan came in a tense impasse about a series of hot-button problems while screaming each other on a roof in Saudi Arabia.
The two journalists and former TV broadcasters came together this week in the Nation -Oost to discuss topics such as the war in Gaza and whether the US should finance it, weapon control and the inheritance of Winston Churchill.
During the Israel-HAMAS war, Carlson convicted the bombing of the Israeli government of citizens for more than a year that Morgan asked when he said that such bombing was 'not bad'.
Carlson said, “If you deliberately kill citizens, you probably shouldn't beat your chest and brag about it … Maybe you can argue that you had to do it, but you have to cry.”
“Is it bad, however?” Morgan answered, to which Carlson argued: 'To deliberately kill citizens? I think it's. Children and children? Yes.'
Morgan said he could see that there was a “moral right” on civil death in wartime, and said, “If there is a world war that threatens the whole world, yes.”
When Carlson called his vision 'disgusting', he ran back and said it could be justified 'in a pure defensive action' while the two journalists spart about the conflict.
“Intentionally not to kill fighters, women and children, I think we can say that that is wrong,” he concluded.

One of the issues that the two men spar was the war of Israel in Gaza, as Carlson Morgan's argument noticed that the killing of citizens can be morally justified as 'disgusting'
The two journalists were about whether the US should continue to finance Israel's efforts against Hamas, after former President Joe Biden had sent at least $ 17.9 billion in military aid since October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks.
After Carlson had repeated his calls for the US to stop providing help to Ukraine in his conflict with Russia, Morgan asked: 'Why do you support Israel against Hamas? Why do you support the giving of billions of dollars? '
“Not me,” Carlson snarled back.
“I support Israel in the sense that I really love Israel, I have gave my family on holiday there … but (I support Israel) only to the extent that it helps the United States.”
Morgan claimed that this was a hypocritical attitude, given his criticism of Ukraine's help, and said that his support only “depends on which country.”
“I see no difference between (Israel's bombing on Gaza) and what happens in Ukraine,” Morgan continued.
“This is far away from America, there is no direct involvement with America or no involvement of the mainland, and yet you think it is correct that America supports Israel, but you don't think it is correct that America supports Ukraine.”

Later in their conversation, which lasted more than an hour and a half and was placed on X, the two men came in a heated exchange about the issue of arms violence in the US.
Morgan, who has argued against the ownership of weapons and the American school shot epidemic has condemned many times, acknowledged that their argument was based on 'cultural differences'.
“In my country everyone used to have a gun, now very few people have had risers, there are incredibly tight limitations, and the result is that we have almost zero gun crime,” he said.
“But the problem we have is with knives.
“So I don't say for a moment when you get away from weapons, nobody is killed, we have a mescrime problem epidemic in our country.”
Carlson said that London suffered from a 'human problem' and said that mesmegaden in the city had risen compared to the 1970s and said, “The actions of the people are completely different, you have different people.”
Their broad conversation also went to the inheritance of Winston Churchill, with Morgan an offense to Carlson's argument that Churchill did not do enough in the Second World War.

Morgan argued that Churchill was an important figure because he defeated the Nazis, “while Carlson wonders what his performance 'keep'
“People want to tell me that Churchill is an incredible guy. Real? Why didn't he save Western civilization? “Said Carlson.
Morgan replied: 'He saved Western civilization! He defeated the Nazis. '
“Well, I know he helped the Nazis with his friend Stalin,” said Carlson. “I don't defend the Nazis. I just say, where is Western civilization? What did he keep? Where is it? I don't know where it is. '
Morgan went against that Churchill died in 1963, the year he was born, because he said that the impact of Churchill's defeat of the Nazis was considerable at the time.
However, Carlson claimed that mass -immigration had reformed Western civilization further than Churchill saved that decades ago.
“But the question was, where is the victory? I don't understand. Like, everyone wants to shout at you because you don't like Churchill. Okay, well, show me the victory – no, it's a theoretical victory.
“He defeated Hitler. Great. I am completely for beating Hitler. '
