Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the podcast 'Clock It'?
Hey, y'all. It's Eugene Daniels.
And Simone Sanders-Townsend.
We're the hosts of a brand new podcast, MS Now Presents Clock It.
We're starting this show because over our years in D.C., me on campaigns and working in the White House.
And me covering it all, plus running the White House Correspondents Association.
We've learned to see through political machinations and maneuvering, whatever that is, right, Eugene?
Uh-huh, because right now we're watching the Trump administration try to legitimize itself by hijacking the arts, sports, basically the culture.
See, slapping Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, dispatching ice to the Super Bowl, uploading TikToks set to Nicki Minaj songs. It looks trivial, but this stuff matters.
So we want to open up our off-air conversations, our group chat, if you will, to everybody.

Chapter 2: How does culture influence politics in the current climate?
Like James Tallarico, he's much more, you know, his demeanor's calmer.
I got into this because of my students. I got into the classroom in the fall of 2011, right after the state legislature cut $5 billion from our schools. I had 45 kids in one classroom. There weren't enough desks for all those kids, so I had students sitting on the air conditioning unit. It's unacceptable. And that's why I ran for the state legislature.
It's why I flipped a Trump district that no one thought was winnable.
And you have someone like Congresswoman Crockett. And she is much more, I think, like a lot of members of Congress that are Democrats, much more in your face.
They're killing people in the middle of the street. They decided to execute a mother of three in broad daylight. I don't understand how we are sitting here and acting like this is normal.
Right. She's much more clear and concise. She seems much more ready maybe to fight Donald Trump the way Donald Trump fights.
Some would call her unconventional. Some reports have called her and her campaign unconventional. This recently, recently, OK, there was a controversy that popped off on the Internet. The fact that in 2026 campaigns are being and races are being appended by what happens on threads.
Mm hmm.
I don't know if this was a scheme that Todd set up to encourage people to sign up for threads. Todd is busy, child. But if you weren't on threads, you were not understanding where this came from.

Chapter 3: What insights do Tony Goldwyn and Myles Frost provide on political art?
So what does that tell you?
Well, because Jasmine Crockett came in and kind of like, to be honest, big-footed him out of the race. And there were concerns. I mean, if you talk to Democrats in Texas, like strategists and whatnot, and people that do campaign work, there was a concern about the kind of campaign Colin Allred ran the last time he ran for Senate. When he lost?
when he lost, and Democrats do believe that this is an opportunity, that this is one of the seats that they can take. Like Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, they are talking about expanding the map. So I just don't think it is ever okay, though. Like, yeah, was his campaign, was he running a mediocre campaign?
Sure.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of cuts to The Washington Post for democracy?
Should the white man be talking about another elected official and feel comfortable calling him a mediocre Black man? No. And trying to pump up a Black lady? Hell no.
That's crazy. It makes no sense.
