listening to this inquiry and who has been listening to it for months and months and months when piers morganee the chief lawyer and justice levinson was asking the question, they were visibly irritated with piers morgue and. piers morgan had talked about a little trick that he knew to listen to people's voice mails but he then joked about how it was something he had repeated about the dark arts in the uk. i think people who were listening to this think that piers morgan is not telling the truth. >> when you read the testimony, the other journalist is very specific, he starts mimicking a conversation he appears to have heard involving the third person they're at lunch with together and he actually explains how he did it. if you don't have a password on your phone, a lot of people can know it's 0, 0, 0, 0, you try it and, bang, you can listen to messag messages. >> exactly. jeremy was specific. he said this person was sitting here, he described the entire scene in the entire lunch and you're exactly right. he went through saying this was the default setting and he said piers morgan said to him
