British journalist Piers Morgan threatened to mute far-left social media influencer Joanne Carducci Wednesday on his show after she repeatedly attempted to avoid questions about biological men participating in women’s sports.
During President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress Tuesday evening, Trump discussed his executive order to ban biological men from women’s sports, highlighting a guest, 19-year-old Payton McNabb, who had been asked to attend the speech after suffering a traumatic brain injury when a transgender-identifying man spiked a volleyball into her head. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the British journalist asked Carducci whether she agreed with the president.
“What I would love to discuss actually is — ” Carducci began.
“No, no, can you just answer the question, please? Just answer. Please answer the question,” Morgan interrupted.
Carducci argued with the British journalist, saying she did not believe it was an issue that concerned the majority of Americans, prompting Morgan to repeatedly ask her to answer his question.
“We’re not talking about the price of eggs. We’re not talking about the price of gas. We’re not talking about the cost of living or what the stock market did yesterday,” Carducci said. “This is an issue, Piers, which impacts such a small percentage of the American people. The American people care about the cost of living. They care about the price of eggs. They care about the stock market crashing. These are the things they care about, Piers.”
Morgan continued to ask Carducci to answer his original question before ultimately requesting that she be muted as he directed the question to another guest, Brian Shapiro.
“Mute her for a moment please,” Morgan said. “If you’re not going to answer the question, I’m going to mute you. Let me bring in Brian.”

“Sorry, this is ridiculous. Can we just, please, Jojo has refused to answer my question. Let me ask Brian,” Morgan said. “Brian, do you agree with what Trump did about trans athletes in women’s sport? Do you agree it was unfair and impacts young women?”
Shapiro said that he would answer Morgan’s question if he had “45 seconds” to address the issue.
“No, no. I just want to answer the question. You can’t keep doing that! You can’t all keep doing pre-planned speeches about something else,” Morgan said.
“I’m answering your question directly,” Shapiro said. “If you’re born a man, transition to a woman, I have never believed that you should be on the same playing field as a woman. However, this is not a top five issue or a top 10 issue in polls around the country. No, it’s not. In what poll, Piers? In what poll?”
“You know what it comes under? Do any of you know what it comes under?” Morgan asked before Carducci could be heard attempting to answer his question. “You’ve had your chance, you didn’t answer the question. I’m talking to Brian. The point is, Brian, it comes under this umbrella.”
“It comes under the umbrella of common sense, what Trump calls a commonsense revolution. He says America is no longer going to be woke. That resonated, I think, third with people in America,” Morgan added. “Here’s why. Because they had that one advert. You may remember Kamala’s for they/them. Donald Trump’s for you. The New York Times, a liberal newspaper, said that could have moved the needle in the election by three.”
During the closing months of Trump’s campaign, the president’s team released ads highlighting former Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for funding transgender surgeries, as she had been an advocate for the procedures for illegal immigrants and for cutting funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a September 2024 interview, Harris’ communications director, Michael Tyler, refused to walk back her support for transgender surgeries, calling the focus on her previous stance a ‘complete distraction.’
A Harvard CAPS Harris Poll conducted between Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 shows 69% of Americans surveyed said they support “banning men who have undergone operations and hormones to become women from girls’ sports.” Of the majority of support, 50% were Democrats, 86% were Republicans and 70% were either independents or other, according to the data.
