Clock It with Symone and Eugene

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, “Clock It” is an invitation to their groupchat, the liveliest—and most informative—out there. 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. Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this and other MS podcasts without ads. As a subscriber, you'll also get exclusive bonus content. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Girl Walks Into a Bar

White middle aged woman here who looks forward to Clock It each week while getting her steps in. Aside from increasing my vernacular, the chemistry you both have is beyond. But this week went above and with Mr. Steele.

Hey Symone and Eugene, I couldn’t finish this episode because it opened up talking about religion. This institution has done nothing for Black people but keep us docile, submissive, and away from the truth about Who We Are. I usually listen to yall each week but not this one. Just keeping it 💯 with you. Until next time.

These hosts don’t read books or seem to know their own history, let alone any one else’s. I put myself on a timeout after the Piker interview because I was so angry at how Symone attacked this young, influential change-agent while Eugene sat silently, letting his name be used for her to weaponize against Piker. She should have stayed home but earned her oligarch bucks that day. They never speak to people with actual power like that; they chose to attack a child of immigrants because they themselves are the elites, the consultant class, that are destroying America. I see that now. Symone showed me herself and said it out loud to Piker. This is low-bar, status quo, corporate Dems shilling for their own payday at the expense of mine, at the expense of the safety of my family and neighbors. I realize now we need militant anti-fascism to solve the world people like Symone have created, like in To Catch A Fascist by Christopher Mathis. A book these host haven’t read because they clearly don’t read, they just sit in the stew of their echo chamber and pull in their dollar bills. After my time out I can see clearly now how corporations control our media intake to control our minds and movements. I joined the DSA, refuse to be ruled by fear, embrace hope and dignity for the working class, and will be following Hasan Piker instead of this or any other MSNow show. Death by a thousand paper cuts, and one really bad interview. Please, turn left with me. The rightward shift of the center is still going right, and just hating on Trump will not solve anything; only solidarity, action and hope will.
