The News Agents

The Tuesday night fever dream of the Democrats taking Mississippi came real last night when the state was finally called for Scott Colom.
What does this outstanding victory tell us about the changes the Democrats have undergone as a party? We discuss how the history of this state and its segregationist past make this such an extraordinary moment.
Later, the sorry tale of the Nvidia boss and his Chinese spy lover. What’s the fall out for Trump and America?

Former fox anchor and holder of a 4 million strong YouTube fan base Megyn Kelly has told her supporters how unjust it is that Russell Brand has been put behind bars.
Why are MAGA influencers jumping up and down to defend a rapist? Even those who’ve pressed Trump to release the Epstein files.
And is that dinosaur viewpoint pervasive here in the UK too? We ask Women and Equalities minister Bridget Phillipson.

Despite the best legal representation money could buy, Russell Brand was sent down for over ten years yesterday after a jury UNANIMOUSLY convicted him of rape. Today, again despite a lengthy legal battle and costly high court injunction, David Walliams was outed as the celebrity who had threatened suicide after allegations about him surfaced.
Victims came forward in both cases to journalists, not the police first. Are we seeing a cultural sea change? Is this MeToo Two? Or did it never really go away? And why are so many whistleblowers and survivors being silenced through the civil courts? We ask Zelda Perkins - who blew the whistle on Harvey Weinstein.

We will bring you the Judge's sentencing of Russell Brand in the minutes after it happened - but we start with the White House where Trump's response to election wipe out is to double down. Why has he brought in the advocate of the mass deportation strategy to be his Chief of Staff? And is Trump's America about to get even harder right? We ask the MAGA architect, Steve Bannon, about the results, the Republican party and his own relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Democrats led a ‘blue wave’ across America, taking control of both the Senate and the House in Congress, and leaving Donald Trump all but powerless in his remaining two years in the White House. Trump may have been defanged and neutered by the results of the midterms, but that man will be the “backseat driver” of the Republican Party for many years to come.
This Friday, Mehdi Hasan joins Lewis to dissect where it all went wrong for Donald Trump, and why, even after he leaves the White House, Trumpism is here to stay – and likely to get more extreme.
