Women, woke and drink: meet the man Donald Trump...

The News Agents - USA ·

2025/01/15

Pete Hegseth is a Fox News anchor now hoping to lead the US military. He’s Donald Trump pick to be Secretary of Defence. Leaving aside the allegations of sexual assault and work place drunkenness - which he denies - and the profound lack of experience, does he have what it takes? And will he get through his senate confirmation? Later, a life long friend of Joe Biden tells us why the President still thinks he could have beat Trump in 2024. How will Joe Biden be remembered? The legacy starts

12 days to Trump

2025/01/08

Why does it already feel as if Trump is President? Last night, he gave an hour long press conference at Mar-a-Lago and we suddenly remembered what it's going to be like. On the bingo card: Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, and the January 6th protesters. Little mention of either the cost of living or immigration but hey, early days. On today's episode we hear from two sides of the Republican party - the MAGA wing and the WTF wing - and we try once again to figure out what Donald Trump actually means

2024/12/18

In today's episode we have a Newsagents - Ruthie's Table 4 mash up. We’ve been chatting to Bill Clinton's strategist and Democratic supremo James Carville at the River cafe with Ruthie Rogers. What should Democrats have done differently? What was Joe Biden's mistake? And what’s the way back? But first, we kick off with the settlement ABC News just made to Donald Trump of 15 million dollars after he complained about an interview. Is the media ready to hold power to account this time around? Or is big

Could Trump remove the right to be born American?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/12/11

Donald Trump has done his first sit down TV interview with NBC News and it was largely a calm affair. Oddly he offered unity across the aisle. But he has made it clear that he wants to stop those born to illegal immigrants from claiming us citizenship. Would he change the constitution to do this? Later, did the left of the Democratic Party let ideology get in the way of a winning strategy? We speak to the author of Morning After the Revolution, Nellie Bowles.Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer:

Where do the Democrats go now?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/11/27

Three weeks on from Donald Trump's historic comeback, the clamour for answers about where it all went wrong within the Democrat party is reaching a fever pitch. Kamala Harris has released a message to supporters urging them not to let anyone 'take their power' - but with her party consigned to another four years out of the White House, how can they rebuild and reconnect with the voters who deserted them at the ballot box? Jon and Emily speak to former Congressman and ally of Nancy Pelosi, Steve

Donald Trump has named a Fox News anchor as his pick for Defence Secretary. And the former governor of South Dakota, known better in this country as the woman who shot her own dog, is set to be his head of Homeland Security. What do his picks tell us about the direction of travel of the incoming administration?

2024/10/29

45 million people - or 20 percent of the electorate - have already voted. What do the patterns tell us about who might have the advantage? Later, we speak to Bob Woodward, of The Washington Post and Watergate fame, about Trump and democracy. And we ask whether Madison Square misogyny and minority group racism will put Trump voters off - or turn them on.Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer: Louis DegenhardtProducer: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia

Trump goes off message - but is that the plan?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/22

With less than two weeks until the Presidential election, Donald Trump has carved out precious time on the campaign trail to focus on the size of a former golfer’s manhood and stake a claim to a McDonald’s Employee of the Month award. It’s certainly not conventional campaign strategy - but could it be helping, rather than hindering, efforts to gee up Republican voters? The polls are looking incredibly tight, so what does early voting tell us about the state of the race? And, with abortion on the

Why is Kamala Harris struggling with minority voters?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/16

The old wisdom held that Democrats could rely on the votes of those in the Black and Latino communities - often immigrant families that felt that party were on their side. But in recent elections that has started to shift. Kamala Harris is struggling to win the Black vote at the same levels Joe Biden won it in 2020, which pushed him over the line. And her latest pitch is an economic plan specifically tailored to Black men. Is this smart or reductive? And can Trump capitalise on that gap? We’re

Is this the most gendered election ever?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/09

This week, Kamala Harris was the unlikely guest on a sex and relationships podcast aimed at Gen Z women, asking them to ‘Call Her Daddy’ - it turns out it isn’t all blowjobs, redflags and narcissists. Meanwhile, Elon Musk was jumping around at the scene of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania, fist-pumping and talking about bloodied faces. The difference is stark. Could this be the biggest gender split in an election we’ve ever seen? All of this plays out with the background of two

Vance vs. Walz - Who won the veep debate?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/02

Imagine a political world where Donald Trump doesn’t exist. That’s what the VP debate sounded like on CBS last night. There was none of the crazy talk. No stage stalking. Not a whisper of a pet eating migrant...It was just two blokes talking policy rather delicately. Tim Walz seemed nervous to a slicker more spirited JD Vance. But ultimately the Minnesota governor probably had the knock out blow when he asked his opponent “who won“ the last election. And JD Vance couldn’t say. Will this change the

Will the assassination attempts decide the election?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/09/18

How to make sense of not one but two assassination attempts in as many months on a former president? Donald Trump says it's all down to the language that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are using. JD Vance has just called her 'the most fraudulent person to run for president'. Is it language? Guns? Or an impossible to police golf course perimeter? The first voting by post began in Pennsylvania this week. What does the attack bode for the November election and beyond?Tickets to see the News Agents

Why has Trump just admitted he interfered with the...

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/09/04

Trump has been having what our grandmother's mght once have called 'a funny turn'. He keeps saying things out loud he then regrets. He admitted this week he had both lost the last election and tried to interfere with the result. Then he argued against the 6 week abortion ban in Florida - saying it was TOO SHORT. And then offered America free IVF. None of which he'd agreed as policy with his VP. If this makes you think Kamala has the election in the bag, well, pause there: she doesn't. The polls are

Who stands to gain from the Trump Harris TV debate?

2024/08/28

The rules of the last TV debate were set by Joe Biden. And that didn’t go so well for him...Jon has an incredible story of the hours leading up to that debate and who knew what. But right now those debate rules are being re- litigated by Kamala’s team, who now say they want the mics left live. Will it happen? Later, why is Trump now talking about women’s reproductive rights? And what does the suspension of RFKs presidential campaign actually mean for him, for Trump, and for Harris?Editor: Tom

Star quality doesn’t come much higher than an Obama. And last night at the DNC there were two. Michelle preceded her husband, the 44th US president, as they told the crowd to “Do Something “ to get Kamala Harris elected. This convention, these speeches, are all about the power of women. And there’s a reason that’s playing so strongly in this particular election.

Is Trump losing his grip on the race?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/08/14

Since Kamala Harris took over the 2024 Democratic race Trump has been visibly suffering. He can’t work out her name, how to attack her, or even whether she reminds him of his own wife. Trump has barely been out on the campaign stump since his attempted assassination. Has he got PTSD or has he just lost his mojo? And what will happen to the democrats when he gets it back?Editor: Tom HughesProducers: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellVideo Production:
