[VIDEO] Piers Morgan Asks If Dems Will 'Unleash' Cory Booker on 'Renegade' Ted Cruz

In an interview with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on his Thursday night show, CNN's Piers Morgan sounded just like a Democratic strategist.

Morgan told the Democrat that "you sound eminently reasonable" and accused Sen. Ted Cruz of being the problem in Washington. "[H]e thinks that getting the shutdown was good business for Ted Cruz, Incorporated. What are you going to do about this young renegade who doesn't really care about being reasonable?" Morgan asked Manchin. [Video below the break. Audio here.]

If Morgan wasn't being enough of a liberal hack already, he pressed the Democrats to go on the offensive. "What about unleashing your new attack dog, Cory Booker? What about putting him on Cruz point man to point man?" Morgan wondered.

Manchin was actually the more reserved of the two voices, and he refrained from taking direct shots at Cruz. Morgan concluded the interview with some more sugary praise. "Senator Joe Manchin, it's a breath of fresh air talking to you. You are a rare voice of reason in a sea of complete insanity."

Below is a transcript of the segment, which aired on Piers Morgan Live on October 18 at 9:05 p.m. EDT:

PIERS MORGAN: Here's the problem, Senator, is that you sound eminently reasonable and your actions endorsed the fact that you've tried to get through this and ultimately have been successful as have some of the Republicans you've been dealing with. Mitch McConnell today was very reasonable with what he said. He said, "There will be not another shutdown." This is all fine. But you guys aren't the problem. The problem is Senator Ted Cruz who has his gander up, he's got a popular vote now. He's massively more famous than he was two weeks ago. He's getting loads of money pouring in, he's the darling of the Tea Party. And he today is saying "Well, let's not too hasty," because he thinks that getting the shutdown was good business for Ted Cruz, Incorporated. What are you going to do about this young renegade who doesn't really care about being reasonable?

Piers Morgan Tears Into Pro-Gun Panel in Epic Shouting Match Over Navy Yard Shooting

Piers Morgan is getting sick and tired of having the same “ridiculous debate” every time there is a mass shooting, and made that abundantly clear when he unloaded on conservative radio host Ben Ferguson and gun rights activist John Lott during a heated argument over gun control Monday night.

Ferguson told Morgan the Navy Yard was a gun-free zone, so gun control was “a failure in this base with all the best security in the world.” Morgan complained that the bigger failure is the “failure to do anything” in the wake of countless tragic shootings. After Richard Feldman brought up the lack of a real conversation on mental health, Morgan cried, “You guys just never accept that the gun itself can never be part of the problem!”

Lott argued that gun-free zones are “magnets” for tragedies like this to occur, and fought with Morgan over the accuracy of gun massacre statistics. Morgan also shouted down the idea that a military installation was a “gun-free zone,” pointing out the armed security the NRA wanted after Sandy Hook was present at the base “and it made absolutely no difference!”

Ferguson shot back that if someone is in the Navy and being trusted with hi-tech equipment and classified information, “why the hell wouldn’t we trust you to bring your weapon to work with you?” Morgan sighed and scolded the panel for being so intransigent in their views about guns. He shouted, “Think about your position! Think about how it helps save American lives! Because it doesn’t! More guns is not the answer!”
