Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois is not your average progressive. He is a billionaire with an activist upbringing, in a family that prioritized advocating for the people who need it most. MSNBC's Jen Psaki wanted to get a sense of his approach to governing in this second Trump term and why priorities like raising the minimum wage and ending his state’s grocery tax are front of mind for him. They also talk about the reality of a rigged system and the dangerous precedent set when an unelected citizen like Elon Musk is running much of our government. And the Governor is not shy about reminding Democrats to revive a core principle of making things just a little bit easier for everyday Americans.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Yes, the System is Rigged, with Gov. JB Pritzker

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.”
