This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum react to the results of the 2024 election and respond to your questions.    President Biden has begun the peaceful transition of power, in the oval office he told Trump, “Welcome back.” After telling voters that Trump is a threat to democracy, is this kind of civility appropriate?   Trump has already announced many of his cabinet picks. We’ll hear from those picks about what we can expect from a second Trump presidency.    Lastly, where does our show go from here?

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum check in on the state of the presidential race. Is there anything more Kamala can do to reach undecided voters? Do undecided voters even exist at this point??    The terms “fascist” and “fascism” are being thrown around a lot lately. Considering that we may soon have a wannabe fascist as President, let’s define those words, and identify what exactly is “fascist” about Trump.    Rudy Giuliani finally had his day in court. He’s been ordered to pay more than a hundred million dollars to compensate Georgia election workers who he falsely accused of election fraud after the 2020 election. We’ll hear from some of those election workers.   Finally, where do we see fear being used as a political strategy in the 2024 election, by both campaigns? The hosts have a practical and philosophical discussion about fear and the nature of power.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners!

When she doesn’t address Black folks they say she’s disrespectful, when she does they say she panders–our hosts have some sharp words for those who would lay the results of this election at the feet of Black folk.    We have got to talk about the looming threat of political violence and election-denialism.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum process a storm of historical proportions, Hurricane Milton. The storm recalls the trauma of Hurricane Katrina and the misinformation that targeted the Black community during that disaster which led to so many unnecessary deaths. Now we’re seeing more misinformation than ever–what lessons do we draw from Katrina and how do we avoid the worst with Milton?    FEMA Rumor Response: www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response   Florida Division of Emergency on X/Twitter : https://x.com/FLSERT   Florida Shelter Info: https://www.floridadisaster.org/shelter-status   Uber also has been offering free rides to a shelter.

Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum recap the Vice-Presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance, and break down each candidate's performance in the context of the larger race. In a post-Trump, soundbite-obsessed era, do Americans value a debate focused more on substance than style?    There is an expanding war in the Middle East that has our hosts shook! In a viral Ta-Nehisi Coates interview, a commentator compares the authors’ writings about the Gaza/Israel conflict to “something a terrorist would have in their backpack.” Our hosts critique the interview and connect the dots between media coverage of the conflict and a general de-valuing of Arab lives.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum cut through the media fog around Brett Favre’s testimony to Congress. No, he was not summoned to Congress to testify about his Parkinson’s diagnosis, as the headlines might have you believe (we wish him the best). In fact, he was there to explain his alleged misuse of welfare funds. While Mississippi failed to provide TANF benefits (AKA welfare) to its poorest residents, Favre managed to receive funding for speeches, volleyball stadium, and a startup from the same pool of funding. While he has yet to be punished, the woman who broke the story is facing JAIL TIME!   In even more somber news, the hosts reflect on the state-sponsored lynching of inmate Marcellus Williams. In the lead up to his execution, the victim’s family members, the non-profit group The Innocence Project, and even local prosecutors pleaded for a stay of execution, but the state of Missouri killed him anyway. This is America y’all, our hearts go out to the families.    Check out The Innocence Project at innocenceproject.org and help them in their mission to prevent wrongful convictions.    And we close the show with a heated discussion sparked by Whoopi Goldberg’s defense of Janet Jackson, after she made false comments about Kamala Harris’s ethnicity. Should celebrities be commenting on current events, and how do they do so responsibly? Our hosts offer differing opinions.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.

Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum kick off today with a recap of last weekend’s live show at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference. Check out the whole event in last Monday’s episode, or you can see everyone’s wonderful outfits in the YouTube version.    Lots of doom and Republican-gloom this week, as the GOP seeks to force American women to have babies even as they oppose support for families with young kids. A Minnesota state senator claims that kids in his state don’t need free school lunches because he’s “never met a hungry person in Minnesota…” OK. JD Vance advocates his “plan” for making childcare more affordable: call grandma. And Gov DeSantis goes full propaganda mode to protect Florida’s 6-week abortion ban, while using Florida law enforcement to harass pro-choice supporters. God forbid anyone commit the most heinous crimes of being born a woman or a hungry child in a poor family…    Y’all had some great listener questions this week, including whether or not famous politicians listen to our show, and why isn’t the Harris/Walz campaign pushing more populace policies (or are they)?    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   We are 47 days away from the election.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum recap their week at the DNC. Some sh*t went down behind the scenes, check out our MiniPod this Monday for the full story.    VP Harris and Gov Walz are doing their first joint interview with Dana Bash on CNN. We got questions–is this the right outlet, the right interviewer–what’s the strategy here?    Over 200 staffers from Bush, McCain, and Romneys’ teams have endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket as mainstream Republicans jump ship; Angela knows exactly how their support ought to be used.    Meanwhile, efforts to suppress the vote pick up steam in Texas as the MAGA election-deniers take over. Texas AG Ken Paxton ordered SWAT-style raids on the homes of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) members. Their supposed crime? Helping folks in their community register to vote…as they’ve been doing for decades...    And the NFRA (National Federation of Republican Assemblies) proposes that VP Harris is not eligible to be president, citing a slavery-era Supreme Court decision. It seems Republicans will do anything to win besides just getting the votes–they are definitely scared y’all.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners!

It’s day 2 at the DNC y’all!! And hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum welcome an incredible array of guests onto the Native Land stage — and they’re looking good!

NLP at the DNC next week y’all!! Tune in Monday through Thursday on YouTube, we’ll be live streaming every day from the Democratic National Convention.    This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the latest bizarre (weird) attacks launched at VP Harris by Trump and his campaign, and offer some strategic advice on how to handle such attacks. One big question: should she be doing more interviews and press conferences?   While they’re supporting her now, not all Dems have been with Kamala since the get. Angela has the receipts on which high-ranking Democrats pushed back against Kamala’s nomination, and why.    Meanwhile, the interim president at FAMU has unceremoniously fired much of the university’s leadership a week before school starts. This interim president was hired by appointees of Governor Ron DeSantis, raising questions about the motive behind the firings.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss Kamala’s VP pick: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. What does his selection bring to the ticket, some white privilege maybe? Maybe more—Coach certainly got the gibes and clapbacks; recently he is the architect of the  “weird” strategy to redefine MAGA Republicans.    In foreign affairs, things are heating up between Israel and Iran with the United States caught in the middle. Tiffany and Andrew weigh how a new war in the Middle East could affect this election cycle.    Speaking of Israel, we just AIPAC spend millions of dollars to push out yet another progressive, Cori Bush.  She lost her primary race to a Black Democrat who pledged not to run against her. Funny what money does!    Lastly, the hosts weigh in on the Republican election denialism movement. MAGA Republicans have been altering the rules of local elections to make it easier to dispute and withhold the results. We have an update from the Georgia Election Board and across the country.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam!

On this week’s MiniPod hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross discuss what President Biden should do with the rest of his term.  He’s laid out some of his priorities, like Supreme Court reform, but how can he actually get that done? And what other bold actions could he take now that he’s a lame duck?

This week hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum take on the LIES. There has been a cascade of falsehoods about Vice President Harris ever since she became the presumptive nominee for President. The hosts share Kamala’s real record as DA, CA Attorney General, and senator—not that the liars care. But seriously, how do we intend to counter all the disinformation?? Do you want to get involved this election season? The hosts offer tips on how to get politically engaged in response to a listener's question. They also answer your questions about Trump’s Agenda 47, white “control trauma,” and “voter festivals” to bring out the vote. If you’d like to submit a question send us a message and check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   In other news, with the National Association of Black Journalists inviting Trump to speak at their conference, Andrew gives a firsthand perspective on why diversity and safe spaces within the press corps are mission critical.    A shoutout to the Tax Relief Bill working its way through the Senate this week. Contact your Senator and let them know the bill has your support!    And the hosts commemorate the first anniversary of what will surely go down as a most historical event—Augusteenth 2023!

As promised four years ago, President Biden passed the torch to Vice President Harris. We officially have a new Democratic candidate for president! This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum digest yet another HISTORIC week of news and its implications for the presidential race.   Should Harris debate Trump, even if it’s on Fox? How will Democrats campaign strategy change and who should be her VP? Are voters ready to elect a Black woman president?? All that and more…   We say her name and honor the memory of Sonya Massey.  We were all horrified to hear about and witness yet another brutal killing of an unarmed Black woman at the hands of the police– in her own home after she had called 9-1-1 for help! There could not be a clearer reason for why officers should NOT have immunity.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam.

WHAT A WEEK y’all, we got lots to unpack.    Today hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross have a candid conversation about the recent political violence at a Trump rally, the imminent threat of another Trump presidency, and debate what Democrats can do to turn the tide.    We know you watched the debate and we know you’ve heard all the facts about the assassination attempt. Now we’re asking— how do we deal?? We are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually drained y’all— but we cannot give up!    Angela and Andrew debate the viability of Biden’s candidacy with Tiffany moderating (because she finds herself somewhere in between) ended up m. Angela flexes her D.C. political knowledge and drops some gems on how to turn the tide for the Biden campaign. Tiffany brings us some important news you may have missed amongst all the noise. And all three grapple with the overwhelming emotions of this incredible political moment.    And as always, we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.    We are 110 days away from the election.

NLP Fam: Meet us in our Frantz Fanon because it’s giving a major philosophical pod! Some of us may be experiencing a heat wave this week, but today’s conversation about the shallow end and the deep end is only metaphorically related to a pool: Is it safer, in life and in relationships with others, to go deep or to stay shallow? In this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum unpack the many sides of that question and discuss how depth can be both intellectual and emotional, and how perceived shallowness can sometimes be deceptively deep. We all choose the moments where we reveal our depth to others, or even to ourselves. How do we make those choices? Welcome home y’all!  —--------- We want to hear from you!

Marilyn Mosby was supposed to join for this talk about the politics of the attacks on Black women, but ironically she was barred from attending due to her house arrest…    Sign the petition to pardon Marilyn Mosby at justiceformarilynmosby.com.   This conversation covers historic and ongoing attacks against the Black community including voter suppression and the criminalization of law abiding citizens.

In a disturbing recent trend, multiple promising legal efforts and programs that addressed longstanding systems of inequality have been shut down and challenged.   Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals blocked Fearless Fund from awarding grants to historically underfunded women of color-led businesses. In Evanston, Illinois, the historic municipal reparations program is now being challenged in court. And the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed a suit filed by survivors of one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, occurring in Tulsa in 1921.   On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum discuss these alarming recent developments and strategize on the present and future of Black progress.   SIGN OUR LETTER to President Biden, click on this link.     Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

It’s been an eventful week, y’all!    IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said is the case for any “official” act taken by a sitting US President. Boy are they tearing this country up.    To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.” Justice Soto, we join your dissent!    The hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum dive into what this crisis of a ruling really means for the rest of us.   In what is undeniably a difficult political moment, we want to provide y’all some ways to take action.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take a look at the democratic primary race between progressive Jamaal Bowman and moderate George Latimer. The race was the most expensive House primary race in US history for ad buys…but it’s more than just AIPAC money that impacted the outcome. Angela challenges the divide between Democrats and the group has some analysis that the mainstream missed.    Then, it’s OFFICIAL—social media can be bad for you. As if we didn’t know! The Department of Health and Human Services issued new social media health guidelines for kids, while the Surgeon General called for social media to come with a warning label, like cigarettes. But how necessary are these measures, really?    In Politics Are Everywhere, X, formerly known as Twitter, announced a distribution deal with Verzuz, which was created by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.  Folks were outraged at the pictures of Swizz and Timabland hanging out with Elon Musk and that the announcement came out Juneteenth. Did they sell out or is it Elon who’s getting played OR a little more nuanced??    Stick around for a SPICY conversation at the end of the show. Tiffany brings us news from Kenya, where the self-described Gen Z’ers have stormed Kenya’s parliament in protest of a highly unpopular tax bill. President Ruto has since conceded to the protestors’ demands and vetoed the bill. Tiffany finds parallels between the young people protesting in Kenya and our own youth-led protests here in the states, while Andrew hears echoes of another set of protestors.    With the weather heating up, it’s a nice time to remind folks that the Summer EBT program is in full swing. You can find out how to get your SUN bucks at the USDA website.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners. We are 131 days away from the election.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share the results of our NLP Election Poll. Y’all responded in FORCE! 336 people took part in our poll, which is more than some national polls. Thank  you, NLP Fam!! Our poll shows slightly different results on the attitudes of Black voters, maybe because we actually polled Black people…   You can check out an overview of our poll at this link.    In Politics Are Everywhere, Nunsense (Tiff’s word) Addition–a Texas Democrat running for County Commissioner has been caught acting a FOOL! Taral Patel was arrested for sending himself fake racist messages on social media, messages that he put together in a collage and shared with his supporters. You can’t make up this NUNSENSE.   Speaking of nunsense, the Biden campaign just spent $50 million on a new ad that Angela thinks may have missed the mark. She’ll offer some free advice on how to make an effective ad while Tiffany and Andrew debate if the ads matter at all.    And in more important news, Tiffany catches us up on the most severe war-related humanitarian crisis in the world. No, it’s not Gaza. It’s Sudan, where millions of Sudanese people have been displaced and are at risk of famine. Surprised? Well, we’re not surprised that you’re surprised, because news from the continent is so under-covered!!    Support Sudan at this link.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners.

We all have had stories about Black fathers—some of them remarkably negative from absenteeism to battles with child support and numerous “baby mamas.” On this week’s MiniPod, however, cohost Andrew Gillum, wants to challenge the narrative with facts. According to the CDC, Black fathers are more likely to be involved in activities with their children compared to white and Hispanic fathers AND ANDREW IS ONE OF THEM!  Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross join Andrew in sharing their own experiences and memories of their fathers while also discussing the challenges, myths and misconceptions of Black fatherhood.   —---------   Welcome home y’all!    We want to hear from you!

Hunter Biden was found guilty for marking on an application that he was neither an addict nor a drug abuser on an application for a firearm he owned briefly. He’s facing a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. The case calls into question the “wisdom” of our current Attorney General and puts a spotlight on an issue too many of us are familiar with: the criminalization of addiction.     This week Tiffany Cross has just come back from Côte d’Ivoire with stories and insights to share with co-hosts, Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum. Tiffany’s trip made her think: are Black folks in the states always checking what they’re saying, doing—even WEARING—to cater to white folks?    The Supreme Court will make decisions on a number of consequential cases this summer, including access to abortion pills, regulation of social media sites, and whether Trump is immune from prosecution for crimes committed in office. Watch out y’all, the activist court is ready to trash more of our rights.   And in Politics Are Everywhere, soccer star Vinícius Júnior conquered racism if even for a moment after three Spanish fans who hurled racist insults at him during a soccer match in 2023 were sentenced to 8 months in prison. It marks the first ever conviction in Spain for racial abuse at a soccer match. Vinícius responds to the conviction on Twitter, “I am a tormentor of racists.”  And we are here for THAT torment!!    Of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam.    We are 145 days away from the election.

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross continue their discussion of Trump’s privileged treatment by the justice system. Certainly OUR justice system is much less forgiving. So should the system work for everyone like it works for Trump??   And they have some words of caution for Democrats celebrating Trump’s conviction by gleefully labeling him a “felon.”    —---------   Welcome home y’all!    We want to hear from you!

Should Biden issue a pardon to Donald Trump for his federal crimes? Will that help with America’s standing or do we have 99 OTHER problems and Trump ain’t one?! There have been some Republicans and Democrats calling for a preemptive Trump pardon. Is this kind of grace-giving exactly what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?     Also, can Trump vote now that he’s been convicted? In Florida, where Trump lives, folks with felonies have limited voting rights and Trump does not qualify. BUT Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, has signaled that he’ll bend (READ: Break!) the law to allow Trump to vote. The hosts also take a look at voting after conviction more broadly and the stigma that follows returning citizens even after they’ve served their time.      The hosts also dissect a viral video of a man who faced incarceration after driving with a suspended license…hilarious as it may seem, there’s more to this video that mainstream media missed.   And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam—keep sending in your questions and comments on IG @nativelandpod.    We are 152 days away from the election.

Yesterday, the jury in the People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump reached a verdict of guilty on all 34 counts. What now?

Our prayers are with the families of those with loved ones in Rafah, but most importantly our calls to action are too. Where do we go from here, y’all? This week hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross ask how many red lines have to be crossed before the Biden Administration takes meaningful action.    Speaking of Biden, there’s growing panic within the Democratic Party over increasing signs that the President is STRUGGLING to gain a lead in the 2024 election over white-supremacist and would-be-tyrant Donald Trump. The hosts look at the “signs” and debate the usefulness of election polling.      And in this week’s deep dive, the hosts respond to listener questions about folks in the community who question voting for Biden and who his base really is. We know y’all are struggling with this year’s presidential election and the feeling that folks have to choose between “the lesser of two evils”. The hosts navigate this struggle for themselves—IN REAL TIME—and offer some tips on how to talk to friends and family about it.    Gaza has been in the news a lot lately, including some truly horrific videos that have been coming from Rafah this last week. Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue his assault on the city despite the civilian casualties and increasing condemnation from the international community. So, what are we going to do about it?? SOMETHING. The call to act is upon us.    Sign the petition to support a presidential pardon for Marilyn Mosby at justiceformarilynmosby.com…yep, STILL.    Take part in our NLP poll by clicking here.   We are 159 days away from the election.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the “N” word—who should say it and who should not?    With an eye towards history and pop culture, the hosts look at why some folks choose to use this word—and use it, and use it, and use it—while others think that not even Black folks should say it. Along with funny stories about their personal relationships with this powerful word, we’ll hear about how the NAACP gave the “N" word a funeral, and touch on the politics of the “N” word in the Kendrick v. Drake hip-hop beef.    Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

Black women are under attack—from eyelashes in Congress, to venture funds for Black businesses.  This week’s episode is a recording of Native Land Pod’s first LIVE audience show! Hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum paid a visit to the women’s global leadership summit, ExcelerateHER, in Miami for a town hall takeover!   The hosts take questions from esteemed conference attendees about how the Black community can best harness its political power, and counter the forces of bigotry and exclusion. They’ll confront specific issues facing the community, like financial literacy and racially charged attacks, and offer tangible solutions. This episode is all about strategy, action, and solidarity y’all!    Notable questioners featured in this week’s show include, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, Bevy Smith, Jewel Burks Solomon, and Jessica Nabongo.   We are 165 days away from the election.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask themselves, is this show a safe space? What is our obligation as a show to create a safe space for ourselves and for the audience, and what does “safe space” mean, anyway?    This is a follow up from last week’s MiniPod that got a liiittle heated.     Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: when will we see a Black woman in the US Senate?? The United States has only ever had three Black women as senators. Currently there are none, but two candidates may change that come November…    Speaking of elections, what’s up with these Trump surrogates already denying the ‘24 election before it’s even happened? And what will actually happen if Trump loses in November but his supporters don’t accept the results? The hosts discuss this and the relevance (or not) of presidential debates.    Then, our resident expert on all things FAMU, Andrew Gillum, covers the drama coming out of his alma mater. Florida A&M University received a $237 MILLION dollar donation last week, complete with a huge check that they showed off at graduation. But it turns out the whole thing was a hoax??   In Politics Are Everywhere— Welcome to the W!

This episode is all about how they choose what to cover and who to platform on the show.

This week, hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye start off with another brief update from Trump-trial land. Then onto a special message from Bernie Sanders to young voters—will it matter?    And speaking of political messaging, New York’s Governor Hochul’s cringe-worthy comments about “Black kids in the Bronx” this week. The hosts discuss the blindspots that sometimes exist with liberal white politicians.    And Gov Hochul isn’t the only politician garnering some controversy over racially-charged remarks. We got a reminder last week that some members of Congress are just straight up racist. And so we ask, are there white supremacists in Congress? Spoiler alert: yes, and the hosts will name a few.    In Politics Are Everywhere we examine violence and the ongoing beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Given the drive-by shooting outside Drake’s house, the hosts ask: at what point does beef in hip hop culture go too far?   Last but so far from least, there’s a special guest on the show today…    Justice for Marilyn Mosby!

In this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum discuss Vice President “Mamala.”   Did y’all see the clip of Vice President Harris on the Drew Barrymore show last week??

This week, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum give a brief update on the Trump circus and his recent interview with Time Magazine.    Then onto news you won’t see on cable: what if hundreds of people–mostly Black men–were being slowly and painfully killed, and the government was in on it? An update on state-sanctioned lethal injections.    And guess who’s hiring? Police forces across the country, which have seen an increase in their ranks for the first time since 2020.    We’ve seen those police hard at work on college campuses, where they’ve been breaking up encampments as they arrest hundreds of students protesting the war in Gaza. The hosts unpack what we’re seeing unfold at schools across the country.    In Georgia, the battleground state is grappling with a new voter suppression law that could disenfranchise thousands and have dire consequences for the Biden administration.    Then, in Politics Are Everywhere, Tiffany delivers her signature sports expertise. There are big changes coming to how we watch NBA games; Tiffany has the details.    And of course, we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners.

This week hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross go to the circus: Trump’s Trials. According to the trial testimony of David Pecker, Donald Trump participated in a “catch and kill” scheme with the National Enquirer. The paid scheme prevented them from publishing negative stories about him during the 2016 election. If only we were all so rich…we still wouldn’t do it!  And at the Supreme Court, oral arguments begin to determine whether former President Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for acts committed while in office.   Protests against the war in Gaza have spread from Google to  Morehouse, NYU, Columbia, Stanford, and Yale University (among others). What is up with framing the student-led, anti-war protests as antisemitic? We unpack it on the pod!    In Politics Are Everywhere, American Airlines has made it more difficult to qualify for their frequent flier points, and Angela and Tiff are NOT happy. Andrew asks, is this first world problems y’all?    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners!

We are 15 episodes in and this week, hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross start with the latest in Trump’s many legal woes. The Stormy Daniels "hush money" trial started on Monday. You’re forgiven if you can’t remember what that one is even about– we got you– plus implications for the Trump presidential campaign. Then, there’s ANOTHER case before SCOTUS this week that could have HUGE implications for Trump.    For this week’s deep dive: Minority Rule. Minority rule is when a minority of the population has the majority of the power. Sound familiar? The hosts ask how a shrinking minority of white male conservatives are able to pass laws and policies that most of us don’t actually want. It goes alllll the way back to the beginning, y’all, maybe our democracy isn’t so democratic?    We’re also shedding some light on the importance of Black Maternal Health Week. Black and Brown mothers are about three times as likely to die during childbirth. These are totally preventable deaths, we gotta talk about it!!    As we all know, politics are everywhere, and this week they’re in women’s sports. College basketball star, Caitlin Clark, and some of our faves like Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, were just drafted into the WNBA, and folks are upset about how LITTLE they’ll be paid compared to their NBA counterparts. It is literally a fraction of a percent, y’all…     Then, Native Pod goes green as Tiffany clarifies the politics of cannabis for this upcoming 4/20 weekend. And of course, the hosts respond to your comments and questions. We are 200 days until Election Day 2024!   Welcome home, y'all!   —--------- We want to hear from you!

Welcome Home!   This week, hosts Tiffany Cross, Andrew Gillum, and Angela Rye discuss EBT. “No thanks.” That’s what nearly half the Republican governors in the country are saying to a federal program to feed hungry kids. They’re turning down FREE money to feed kids– and why??    Question: what would a political ad made just for you look like? What issues would it speak to? This week the hosts break down political ads as we brace to be flooded with them this election season.    And how many of you are still rocking with the same crew you’ve been with? Old friends are great, right. The hosts wonder if the Democratic party feels the same. With so many centrist Republicans feeling alienated by MAGA and Trump, might the Dems try to attract the “politically homeless” Republicans.    Stick around to the end of the episode for Politics Are Everywhere, when the hosts discuss rap beef—a part of hip hop since its origin!! After J. Cole and Kendrick exchanged diss tracks, J. Cole said: “no disrespect.”     Ohhh…okay.    Check out ESPN’s The Crossover; Angela is an Executive Producer and the special was nominated for three Sports Emmys!!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

Welcome home!    On this MiniPod hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye take us to Tulsa, Oklahoma. On Tuesday, lawyers for the two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre appealed to the state’s Supreme Court to allow a reparations case to move forward. The two survivors, Mother Randle and Mother Fletscher, would like their day in court, and a chance to seek justice for the horrific crimes committed against them and their community– with involvement from Tulsa authorities, by the way.

Welcome home!    This week hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross turn their gaze towards Tennessee, where state lawmakers voted to fire the entire board of Tennessee State University last week. Does this have anything to do with the $2 billion dollars the state owes TSU, the state’s only publicly funded HBCU?! Probably.    Staying in the south, Crystal Mason recently ended her years-long battle with the Texas courts, who sentenced her to prison for FIVE YEARS just for trying to vote. In 2016, she cast a provisional ballot not knowing that it was illegal for her to do so since she was technically still under state supervision. Her life has been consumed by BS (excuse the language) legal battles ever since.    Y’all have been asking and now our hosts answer– what’s up with Project 2025? On this week’s deep dive, we dig into the woke-obsessed 900+ page document that outlines the republican plan to literally remake the federal government in their image. If Trump wins, the plan calls for him to replace tens of thousands of public employees in the FBI, Department of Justice, and more with conservative loyalists. They’re gearing up for war, y’all!   Stick around for Politics Are Everywhere, where the hosts discuss Washington State’s new Strippers’ Bill of Rights.   And as always, we’ll hear from you.

Welcome home!  On this MiniPod, hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross take a look at a big change on Instagram. There’s a new default setting in Instagram that limits the amount of “political content” that you see in your feed. That includes posts from Native Land Pod! Instagram’s parent company, Meta, claims it’s to stop users from seeing misinformation.

Welcome home!  Hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye kick off this week’s episode with a look at Trump’s many many many federal and state charges (88 to be exact). You might’ve heard that Trump got out of paying a whole bunch of money to New York state this week— nearly half a billion dollars— the penalty for committing fraud by over-valuing his properties. He will still have to pay a $175 million bond, and New York State’s Attorney General Letitia James may seize his properties if he doesn’t cough it up.  From New York, the hosts take us across the country to cover the Republican anti-DEI offensive. More than half of states have introduced bills to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The hosts take a look at these bills and the arguments folks are making for and against them. Why do some Black folks side with Republicans on this issue? What does it mean to be “equitable” and “inclusive,” anyway?  Finally, it’s time to talk about Haiti. The situation there continues to escalate; the UN says that gangs have taken control of most of the capital city, Port-Au-Prince. The situation is complex and impossible to understand without knowing some of Haiti’s rich history of emancipation and struggle.  Finally, don’t forget to check out the biopic about Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run for president, out now on Netflix. You’ll hear about it in this week’s call to action!  —--------- We want to hear from you!

Welcome home!  This week, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross start the show with a look at Trump’s recent “bloodbath” debacle.  Trump’s violent language on the campaign trail is nothing new, so how concerned should we be about political violence? What are the lasting effects of promoting violence as a political strategy? Is it “terrorism”??  Plus, you remember the First Step Act, that bipartisan criminal justice reform bill passed by the 115th Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump in 2018 that Republicans were patting themselves on the back for? You might have missed it in the mainstream news, but the ultra conservative Supreme Court just struck down a key part of the bill and the Justice who drafted the majority opinion MIGHT surprise you! The hosts dig into the SCOTUS ruling for this week’s deep dive.  Are you HIGH? Or feeling low because Mary Jane is still a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substance ACT? Well, MVP Harris has some thoughts on it. If you’re in Baltimore, support Marilyn Mosby by showing up to her rally. It’s at noon this Saturday March 23rd at the Druid Hill YMCA and this is just... the first step.  And since we know so many of you listen just for Tiffany’s sports analysis, she’ll be back to break down March Madness in this week’s Politics Are Everywhere. You can fill out your NCAA Women’s (and men’s) March Madness Bracket on the NCAA website.  —--------- We want to hear from you!

Welcome home y'all!  Many of us don’t fit neatly into the boxes “Democrat” or “Republican”…so are you independent?!

Welcome home y’all!  This week, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum cover the TikTok ban, which overwhelmingly passed the House and awaits Senate action—why is it happening? The ACLU says the legislation violates the first amendment, Donald Trump is wavering, even though he was actually the first high ranking official to propose a ban on TikTok. Joe Biden said he’d sign the bill into law. The hosts offer their takes.  In election politics, no surprises— Trump and Biden officially clinched the nomination. The hosts do a deep dive into what a Trump versus a Biden presidency would look like by examining each of their proposed budgets as President Biden just dropped his off to Congress on Tuesday!  There’s also an update on Trump’s racketeering case in Georgia. That case could be affected by an impending Supreme Court Case that will decide if Trump enjoys broad “presidential” immunity for crimes committed while he was president. More on that in this and a later episode…  Finally, the hosts will answer your questions, and give an update on the former State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby. You can find her Go Fund Me page by clicking here, and we’ll update this description with info on the March 23rd rally later this week. That’s at the end of the episode, stick around.  —------- We want to hear from you!

Welcome home y’all! On this MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross discuss actor Terrence Howard’s refusal to pay nearly one million dollars in back taxes. In his defense, Terrence says it's “immoral” to tax the descendants of slaves.

Welcome home y’all!    A spot for Nikki Haley voters with Biden? With Haley’s drop out of the presidential race, we look ahead at what’s to come for the two leading candidates following Super Tuesday.    And, President Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address. We'll analyze what key messages we hope to hear and how they might impact his presidential bid.    In state politics, we spend a little time unpacking the rhetoric of North Carolina’s republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and the hosts differing views on how or whether to keep Trump supporters in the fold.   Plus, we'll delve deep into the controversy surrounding Marilyn Mosby, the Baltimore City State’s Attorney who prosecuted officers in the Freddie Gray case and implemented a robust reform agenda that law enforcement is still mad about.. Facing sentencing on trumped up charges in May, we have to ask how someone so right is treated so wrong?!   —-------   We want to hear from you!

Welcome home y’all! On this MiniPod hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross answer a question we’ve gotten many times: why “Native Land” Pod?

Drawing from their own experience, they critique mainstream news, share how they came together, and why they felt they needed to create a new “home” for their audience.  You can find the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing, the Black National Anthem, at this link.   The audio for this episode is from promotional material created for the launch of the podcast.

Welcome home y’all! On this week’s episode, no big surprises in the Michigan primary election, but both parties are showing significant signs of dissent. The hosts examine what the results mean for the winners of the primary (Trump and Biden) as they look ahead to super Tuesday.  DEI remains under attack. This week the Alabama senate passes a bill that outlaws funding for state-run DEI initiatives. Will black athletes roll tide or bounce? One mayor is on the frontlines of this issue.  Angela delivers an update on the Fani Willis case and the hosts have a spirited debate on the boundaries of professional decorum and ethical obligations in the Fani Willis hearing.  And in Politics Are Everywhere– we got beef with Wendy’s. Wendy’s is planning to institute “surge” pricing like Uber and Lyft, a move that would disproportionately affect black and brown communities.  Thank you for submitting State Of The Union questions!!

Welcome home y’all!  On episode seven of Native Land Pod, Biden gets pushed on racial justice by black members of congress. Meanwhile, Trump launches a sneaker brand to help him pay off the $355 million dollars that he owes New York state. Plus, the hosts debate why some black voters are leaning towards Trump.  With the Michigan primary on the horizon, we want to know– who y’all got Michigan?? Rashida Tlaib calls for Michigan democrats not to vote for Biden. In Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis answers questions about her relationship with her lead prosecutor in a closely followed election fraud case involving Trump and his allies. The romantic liaison could put the case in jeopardy, but new evidence favors Willis. In Politics Are Everywhere– we have to talk about Beyoncé’s historic new country single, Texas Hold ‘Em. And the Alabama Supreme Court makes reference to God and the bible in a landmark ruling that declares that embryos are people.  Stick around for your questions at the end!  As always, we want to hear from you.

Welcome home, y’all! On episode six of Native Land Pod, age takes the spotlight in the presidential candidate conversation– again– re-sparking discussions about mental fitness. So, okay, both candidates are old… now what?  Meanwhile, Tom Souzzi's victory in Santos' previous NY congressional seat brings attention to special elections; sensitivity is tested as jokes surrounding George Floyd's tragic death evoke strong reactions, prompting reflection on the boundaries of humor; Missouri fails to pass a bill that would allow for abortion in certain cases, such as rape of a minor.  In Politics Are Everywhere, the trio delves into the excitement of NBA All-Star Weekend and addresses listener questions, and we hear once again from sports expert, Tiffany Cross.
