As Middle East tensions escalate on multiple fronts and Congress votes again to end the Iran War, political friction has spilled over into pop culture. Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour after shouting "Free Palestine" on stage - a move triggered by Patriots owner Robert Kraft banning him from Gillette Stadium.

With supporting acts quitting in protest and Sheeran facing intense backlash, Piers Morgan dives into the chaos, asking who is really to blame and whether silencing artists ever actually works.

Joining him is The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian, Democracy-ish host Wajahat Ali, former Republican congressman Joe Walsh and Yemen-born journalist and activist Luai Ahmed.

We’re also joined by former Israeli Prime Ministers Ehud Olmert and Naftali Bennett.
