On episode 116 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Elizabeth Booker Houston, attorney, viral comedian, and public health expert @bookersquared.    FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:   – Alex Pretti Murdered by Federal Agents, Conservatives Divided in Their Response   – Representatives Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost Attacked, Conservatives call it “Staged”   – NLP Minneapolis Town Hall RECAP   – Senate Dems to Close Government Over DHS Funding    – Kanye Apologizes (to everyone)   After Alex Pretti was murdered by a CBP officer in Minneapolis, conservatives in the Trump administration were quick to call Alex an assassin and a terrorist, in particular because he showed up to a protest with a gun. Hold up, so who’s allowed to carry a gun and who is not, because we thought y’all were supposed to be all about the second amendment?? They want some of us to have our rights, and others… not so much. The Black community is all too familiar with this phenomenon.    Vote for NLP at the NAACP Image Awards: https://vote.naacpimageawards.net/categories/c1b34c1a-5f52-4d43-a442-08de2c5a3e90/entrants   Call your Senator, urge them not to fund DHS: 202-224-3121   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 284 days away from the midterm elections.

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity.    ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.”    ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.    Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this week’s MiniPod!    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!

On episode 115 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest host, Don Lemon.    Conservatives (including recent convert Nicki Minaj) are calling for Don’s arrest after he covered a protest that occurred inside of a church. We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more…    FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:    – Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos.   – Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question.   – Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE   – Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old?   – Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined   – Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon   – How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss  Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate…    24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit. Should there be an age limit for Congress? How to we foster and recruit youth?    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 291 days away from the midterm elections.

On this MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are STUNNED by what Fed Chair Jerome Powell did.   The chair of the Federal Reserve, which sets our nationwide interest rates, is under investigation by the Trump administration. A stalwart bureaucrat, Jerome Powell made a rare public statement about the investigation, claiming that it’s politically motivated, and an attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve.  Let’s back it up, what does the Federal Reserve do again? Why is their independence important, and why are our hosts so SHOCKED by Jerome Powell’s statement?    Read more:  https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/fedexplained/who-we-are.htm#:~:text=The%20Federal%20Reserve%20is%20the,stresses%20in%20the%20banking%20system. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/business/economy/housing-pulte-fannie-freddie.html https://www.axios.com/2026/01/14/trump-mortgages-credit-cards-rates https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-will-ban-large-institutional-investors-buying-single-family-homes-trump-says-2026-01-07/   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!

If it feels like ALL hell is breaking loose…it’s because IT IS! Trump’s DOJ now has the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, under criminal investigation. You may be asking what does this have to do with me and why should I care… this is another test for the Administration, a test of their ability to go after their political enemies. This is about the Fed setting the interest rate on market indicators and not wherever Trump wants it. And by the way, The Fed cut interest rates THREE TIMES last year.

What’s it really about?  What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in…    Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI.

On this week’s SoloPod, we mark the 5th anniversary of the attack on the US Capital building by a mob of Trump supporters–the infamous January 6th insurrection.   At the start of his second term, Trump issued a blanket pardon to the J6 insurrectionists, releasing them from prison. The pardons are a part of MAGA’s ongoing effort to rewrite the history of J6 and downplay the violent actions of those involved. Check out how the White House is “commemorating” January 6th:  https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/ Today's guest is one of the Capital Police officers who defended the capital building and fought with the rioters. He testified to Congress about what he saw that day, wrote a memoir about his experience, and run for public office in Maryland. His testimony is vital now more than ever.    Want to ask Angela a question?

On episode 111 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers share their “Grinches Who Stole B*tches” of 2025.    From Tiffany’s broken heart, to Pelosi’s cowardice on impeachment, to a nightmare Air BnB guest–there are no shortage of grinches this year. Our hosts share a laugh at the fools and raise a glass for our loved ones on this special Xmas edition of NLP!    And of course we’ll hear from you!
