MS NOW Presents: Clock It with Symone and Eugene

About this episode

Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels were once at odds as White House staffer and White House reporter. Now they’re friends and colleagues—each co-hosting their own shows at MS NOW. But their off-air conversations are where the real action is. Their new show, “MS NOW Presents: Clock It” is an invitation to their groupchat, the liveliest—and most informative—in news. Whether it’s ICE getting dispatched to the Super Bowl because Bad Bunny’s doing the halftime show, or Nicolás Maduro’s Nike Tech fit, or Michael B. Jordan’s sole Oscar nomination despite playing three roles in Sinners, there is no collision between culture and politics that this show won’t document and decipher. Symone and Eugene see exactly what’s going on—and they want you to clock it, too. 

New episodes drop every Thursday, starting February 12th. Search for “MS NOW Presents: Clock It” and hit “follow” so you don’t miss an episode.

0:00So most Sanders towns and I have known each other for more than a decade since she was the strategic mind behind the country's top Democrats. Y'all wanna hear from Bernie Sanders? Back in the day Eugene Daniels and I sometimes disagreed. He was after all reporting on my then boss vice president, Kamala Harris. And honestly when you talk to people in the White House, people are starting to feel a little bit more pessimistic. And now instead of being at odds as White House reporter and White House staffer were friends and colleagues. Start setting what comes across our feet just like everybody else. This is people who are gonna pay with taxpayer dollars. He's out of taxpayer dollars. He's corny. He's corny. He's falling and it's not funny. And we'll continue to stay on top of political news. But we'll cover much more in a new show MSNOW presents Clocking. We get a lot so well because we are both fluent in politics. And culture. We're not mic'd up for TV. We're talking about how politicians are stealing music and slaying and aesthetics to make

Because while most political coverage is focused on the White House or the Hill, the real political games are being played outside on football fields on the runways and on TikTok. It's really hard to solve this. This video is evil and disgusting. And to fight back in this crazy world, to win the war of ideas and the war for what's right. The people need to know exactly what's going on. They got a clock. Come on. On our new podcast MSNOW presents Clocking, we're positioning ourselves at the intersection of culture and politics. So we can report back to you who's hijacking what, for what reason, and precisely how much any of it matters. Clocking is where we talk about what we see in here in the news. So you can start to clock it, too. New episodes drop every Thursday, starting February 12th. And sign up for MSNOW Premium on Apple Podcasts so you can listen to all the good stuff
