Description

In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home.


In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls.


Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.

On this week’s SoloPod, the United States lied about its involvement with the bombing of a girl’s school in Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. intercepted encrypted communications that may have been sent to Iranian sleeper cells, special agents hiding underground in foreign countries.   Kai Trump, one of the president’s grandchildren, is catching hell for a seemingly innocuous video about the high-end grocery chain, Erewhon.    Want to ask Bakari a question?

President Trump made his case for war with Iran during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday. He said we “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capability in strikes last summer, but we need to go back to obliterate it again, or they’ll shoot a missile at the US (it doesn’t make sense). In any case, the US has assembled its largest strike force in the Middle East since the build-up to the Iraq war.    Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert, for this segment from episode #120 that aired on 02-26-26    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards.    The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community.    Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined.    Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.   If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    Welcome home y’all!  —--------- We want to hear from you!

Many Democrats boycotted the event, which Trump used to tell lies and exaggerate his 2nd term “accomplishments.” He sparred on the House floor with Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, ripped off an idea from Democrats to create “Trump accounts,” and claimed that he was going to replace the Federal income tax.    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    We are 256 days away from the midterm elections.

Pastor Jamal Bryant had a first for his church last Valentines day, a joint sermon with his wife, Karri Bryant. Their advice from the stage is as hilarious as it is insightful; our hosts listen to clips and reflect on the sermon with the pastor himself, who shares what he’s learned about love in recent years, particularly after a certain dress-related controversy…   Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this segment from episode #119 that aired on 02-19-26   If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant.    Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you. Then Pastor Bryant holds space for us as we remember another reverend, Jesse Jackson, who passed away Tuesday, February 17th.    FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:   Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students.   The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights.    DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections.    The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes.    Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time.    We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated.    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    We are 263 days away from the midterm elections.

On episode 118 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Kevin Ortega-Rojas.    You may know Kevin from his prolific social media presence, breaking news for more than half a million followers. He’s a writer, commentator, and host of HeresWhyKevin.    FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:   – Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan   – Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire”    – DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing   – Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025   – Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies.    President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.    Our hosts close the show by reading letters from the Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas, where young children are being held.    Vote for NLP at the NAACP Image Awards: https://vote.naacpimageawards.net/categories/c1b34c1a-5f52-4d43-a442-08de2c5a3e90/entrants   Read ProPublica’s ICE Detention Article: https://www.propublica.org/article/ice-dilley-children-letters   Donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund: https://mnfreedomfund.org/donate/   Donate to Neighbors Loving Neighbors: https://nhn-tc.org/   The 6 Men Rep.

Host Bakari Sellers recaps Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, the Puerto Rican singer gave a performance entirely in Spanish against the backdrop of a brutal deportation campaign occurring across the United States.    The Trump Administration has said from the start that deportations would target primarily violent criminals, and Trump himself frequently claims that they’re deporting “the worst of the worst.” The reality looks far different, as revealed in a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE.    AND Governor Wes Moore suggests that racism is the reason why he was singled out and uninvited to an annual meeting of governors at the White House.    Want to ask Bakari a question?

What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.    Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers PLUS guest-host Tamika Mallory for this segment from episode #117 that aired 02-05-26     If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

OMG! I'm screaming from Atlanta! I LOVE this podcast! I just paused my utube of this episode to comment. You are ALL brilliant! I am laughing at AR's VP pick, although I, too, love him! however, I agree 💯 with AG on his choice. The Pennsylvania pick. Strong contender for me. Off topic, Tiffany, I love your podcast! It's a great concept! Keep informing us on both platforms. Rosella (Atlanta)

I am so happy that this podcast exists. Thank you for sharing the knowledge that is needed. I love that you also hold both parties accountable. Andrew, I love how you are so bold to publicly say, I'm human! I am a forever listener of you all individually and as a collaboration.

I did not realize how I missed your voices. I was 4 minutes into the podcast when I knew that I had a new favorite one. Your transparency was jarring and appreciated. I can't wait for the next episode. Finally, I am really going to need you all to get through 2024 with my sanity intact. PEACE.
