Is retribution a winning campaign issue? That’s the question Senator Claire McCaskill and former White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri want to answer this week. And the striking contrast of the two presidential candidates comes into sharper focus: while one meets with G7 world leaders after honoring the fallen heroes of D-Day, the other tells his supporters he doesn’t care about them, he just needs their vote. Then: what is more of a kitchen table issue to voters than stubbornly high food prices? Montana Senator Jon Tester sits down with Claire and Jen to lay bare the effects of corporate consolidation on food production and what it means for your next grocery run.

Stark Contrasts, Steep Prices

President Trump spent his pre-political life plastering his name on hotels, golf courses, and casinos. He made cameos in movies and hosted a TV program. Today, he’s hijacking the arts and the internet – trying to legitimize himself and his politics. The Trump administration knows that culture is the frontline of politics. Because if you can control the culture, you can control the people.  

On “MS NOW Presents: Clock It,” we look at the news through the eyes of people equally conversant in politics and culture. Symone Sanders Townsend’s work inside administrations and campaigns put her at the center of the culture wars, helping candidates navigate the minefields of identity, symbolism, and optics. Eugene Daniels built his career at “Politico” and “Morning Joe” by decoding how pop culture shapes, and sometimes skewers, political figures. On “Clock It,” they invite listeners to take part in their insider conversations. Listen as they analyze the moments when politics and culture bleed into each other as they happen, point out the political games involved, and strategize how to win the war of ideas, memes, and streams. 

"MS NOW Presents" is the place for the kind of context, perspective, and political analysis you can only get from MS NOW. These are shows that speak to the moment with hosts at the top of their game. We even drop occasional highlights from our TV and YouTube specials. Other series you can find in this feed include: “The Blueprint with Jen Psaki” and “How to Win 2024.”
