| 29 Feb 2024 | Blacks for Trump Isn’t a Thing | 01:14:57 | |
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!! The hosts will answer as many as they can get to in advance of the speech next Thursday. We want to hear from you!

| 19 Sep 2024 | This Sh*t Ain’t Normal | 01:07:21 | |
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)?

| 18 Mar 2024 | Do We Need a Third Party? | MiniPod | 00:19:45 | |
Welcome home y'all! Many of us don’t fit neatly into the boxes “Democrat” or “Republican”…so are you independent?! On this MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross discuss the nuance of third parties in the American Democratic system Could a strong third party empower voters? Is voting for a third party candidate a throwaway vote? How would a third party rise to power, anyway? The hosts answer all that and more. —----- We want to hear from you!

| 01 Apr 2024 | The Politics of Instagram | MiniPod | 00:23:01 | |
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. But is that possible without also blocking us from important and educational content? You can turn off this new default setting by following the instructions in this tutorial video. —--------- We want to hear from you!

| 17 Feb 2025 | NLP vs Black MAGA | MiniPod | 00:18:34 | |
NLP Hosts CLAP BACK to Kendrick Super Bowl Haters
Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: how is it that some Black folk become so heinously anti-Black?
We saw it on full display after Kendrick’s halftime show, when a clip went viral of this dude talking about how lame the show was for his white friends… OK. Is this just for attention? Is he a Drake fan? What explains this??

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!

Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, New York Times best-selling author, historian, and thought leader sits down with hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum during a special live broadcast of Native Land Pod from the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference. Dr. Kendi unpacks Trump’s persistent racism (and in particular his targeting of Haitian immigrants), placing it into a larger project of Trump’s — to criminalize Black people. “When you demean one Black group you demean every Black group,” he says.

| 30 May 2024 | Polls Be Damned?! | 01:15:29 | |
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.

| 05 Aug 2024 | What Should Biden Do Before He Leaves? | MiniPod | 00:17:08 | |
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? The hosts dream BIG.

| 11 Apr 2024 | The Real Boogeymen: The Karens and Kateys | 01:24:28 | |
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.

| 06 Jun 2024 | I Beg Your Pardon? | 01:02:39 | |
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.

| 14 Nov 2024 | Welcome Back Trump | 01:17:34 | |
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? Should we even still have a show??

| 17 Apr 2025 | Gen Z Has Entered the Chat Pt.1 | 00:42:45 | |
Gen Z Responds to Roland’s Black Bank of Justice Pt. 1
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum host a cross-generational discussion with three politically active youths. Our young guests respond to Roland Martin’s statement from last week’s show that young folks are withdrawing from the Black bank of justice without making their own deposits.
Our guests provide an alternative perspective to Roland’s–a perspective that our hosts will (politely) challenge.

Angela Rye went LIVE to breakdown the new deportation regime under our facist-in-chief, President Trump.
The Trump administration has issued a deportation notice to an immigration attorney who is a full U.S. citizen. They said it was an accident but Trump is openly saying he’d like to deport U.S. citizens to El Salavadorean concentration camps with no due process.

New York City Mayor, Eric Adams shared an interesting theory about the migrant crisis during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. He said Republicans are targeting Black mayors and sending migrants to their cities to make them look bad. How ‘bout that? Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross discuss whether there’s any merit to his claim and what else MIGHT be at play.

| 27 Nov 2024 | Political HOT Topics | 01:14:39 | |
Listener Comments, Project 2025, presidential immunity, and what can Biden do before inauguration?
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share some of the amazing comments we’ve gotten from you, our NLP fam, along with a replay of three of our best segments that feel especially relevant now:
What’s up with Project 2025? The 900+ page document that outlines the republican plan to replace tens of thousands of public employees in the FBI, Department of Justice, and more with conservative loyalists. The plan could change the federal government as we know it.
IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said a president will be for any “official” act taken while in office. 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.”
AND Biden’s laid out some of his priorities for the remainder of his term, 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? The hosts dream BIG.

Andrew Gillum goes LIVE with Gen Z organizer Deyona Burton who shares her insight into how self-care and activism go hand in hand.
Burton first made waves in 2020 when she led the effort to change the name of her Florida highschool from “Robert E. Lee” to “Riverside” High. Then, while attending FSU, Deyona Burton rose to national prominence as the Director of Programs for College Democrats of America. Her accolades include being honored at the White House, an impactful TEDx talk, earning the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and being named the 2024 National Action Network’s MLK Youth Honoree.
Having contributed to campaigns and worked within offices at local, state, and national levels, Deyona now continues her mission to drive change from Washington, D.C.

| 25 Nov 2024 | Is the Democratic Tent Too Big? | MiniPod | 00:24:20 | |
Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum question whether the Democratic Party is still capable of keeping together its diverse Rainbow Coalition. Many folks in the base of the party felt abandoned by a Harris/Walz campaign that tried to appeal to moderate Republicans. Then pundits blamed “wokeness” for Kamala Harris’ loss.
Are there too many conflicting interests to hold together under the Democrats’ “big tent”?

| 10 Apr 2025 | Knuck If You Buck: NLP Unfiltered with Roland Martin | 01:24:50 | |
This week hosts Tiffany Cross and Angela Rye are joined by special guest-host: Roland S Martin (of Roland Martin Unfiltered). Roland is one of the most vital sources of independent news for the Black community; his YouTube channel @rolandsmartin has 1.8 million subscribers and counting.
Today’s show kicks off with Trump’s attacks on the Blacksonian (National Museum of African American History) and the massive protests against him over the weekend. A lot of folks are complaining about the Trump administration but we don’t see enough doing; Roland says younger generations are “withdrawing from the bank of justice” without making any deposits. How do we help Black folks battle the apathy and feel their agency?
Tariffs–tariffs for everyone! Or not? Let’s be 100% clear y’all: tariffs are a tax that WE will pay. Our hosts explain how tariffs work, why they were put in place, and who benefits (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not us).
Male enrollment at HBCUs is hitting historical lows, mirroring attendance at colleges nationwide. This represents a failure to engage men in the educational process that starts well before college. The hosts discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions.
Host Andrew Gillum is out this week. He’s on a field trip with the kids to NASA. Have fun Andrew!

| 04 Mar 2024 | Why “Native Land Pod"? | MiniPod | 00:16:17 | |
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? The hosts explain the inspiration behind the title of the show, and the show as a whole. 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.

| 15 Jul 2024 | Safely Shallow or Dangerously Deep? | MiniPod | 00:21:51 | |
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!

Today’s conversation focuses on the state of the GOP race, including several candidates suspending their campaigns and shifting their focus and support following the New Hampshire Primary. The trio also discusses AI in election interference, when a black woman calls you “baby,” and Ava DuVernay’s highly acclaimed movie Origin being shut out of Hollywood’s award ceremonies.

| 18 Apr 2024 | Weed the People | 01:10:39 | |
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!

| 29 Aug 2024 | When They Get Scared, Sh*t Gets Dangerous | 01:07:58 | |
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.

Part 2 looks at the Black community's approval of Trump and the Democratic party.
New data (brought to us by our guest and President of HIT Strategies Terrance Woodbury) shows the Democratic party losing support from what has historically been its most reliable voting base: Black folks. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval has doubled since 2017. What gives? And where do we go from here?

Pastor Jamal Bryant has called for a fast of Target stores, a 40 day boycott that started on March 6th. The company has rolled back DEI initiatives despite being one of the largest employers of Black Americans. Our hosts check on the progress of the fast and discuss how to minimize harm.
A government shutdown is looming, funding runs out at midnight this Friday unless Congress can pass a new budget. Republicans want to pass a stop-gap measure called a “continuing resolution,” a slimmed down version of the current budget that would put off decisions on a new budget until the Fall. They need Democratic votes to get it through the Senate. Is there any reason Democrats should comply?
While the new Education Secretary Linda McMahon lays off 50% of the Department of Education’s workforce, Trump sends threatening letters to universities. Citing civil rights laws, the Trump admin says it will pull federal funding from schools that allow pro-Palestinian protests.
We’ve just passed the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when civil rights marchers fighting for the right to vote were attacked by police while peacefully marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. How far have we come since then?

| 21 Nov 2024 | The Gaetz of Hell | 01:07:27 | |
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the future of NLP. We’ve heard from you all and appreciate your words of support so much!
With all the insanity happening in national politics you may have missed state governments forcing Christianity into their public schools. Tiffany brings us up to speed and offers some calls to action.
The media has said that Trump may use a workaround called “recess appointments” to skip the Senate confirmation process for his more controversial cabinet picks (see the accused Matt Gaetz). But what are recess appointments, when have they been used in the past, and how does that compare to how Trump might use them now?
And in a discussion that’s to be continued on our next MiniPod–is the Rainbow Coalition of the Dem Party dying? Already dead??
And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

| 04 Apr 2025 | Can Black People Be Colonizers? | MiniPod | 00:21:49 | |
Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross, along with guest-host Elie Mystal, respond to a provocative listener question submitted by Dr. B.J. Brunious.
Dr. Brunious saw last week’s episode and, as a Black gay man, was TRIGGERED. He doesn’t know anyone who identifies as “gay” before “Black” (as was discussed last week). He asks how it came to be that some Black folk think that one group’s gains (hispanics, LGBTQ, etc.) mean the Black community’s loss? Isn’t this the same logic used by white people AGAINST the Black community all the time?

| 25 Apr 2024 | Catch and Kill, The Right to Protest | 01:19:05 | |
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 193 days away from Election Day.

Vote for Native Land Pod at the NAACP Image Awards: vote.naacpimageawards.net/#Cat901
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss Meta’s turn towards “free speech.” Mark Zuckerberg has decided to end Facebook’s fact-checking program. What are the real motives behind this pivot–more at play than just kissing Trump’s booty??
Monique Worrell was reelected as Florida’s Attorney General despite Governor DeSantis removing her from office in 2023 over political differences. Now DeSantis is cooking up yet another ploy to subvert the will of the voters and remove Worrell from office again.
Americans are isolating at record levels. It’s so bad that the US Surgeon General has issued an official report on “the epidemic of loneliness and isolation.” What’s behind this epidemic and what can we do to re-connect?
AND one of you asked: Where is the Black intelligentsia these days and what role do they have to play in our politics?

| 07 Mar 2024 | The State of Our Union is… | 01:21:20 | |
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?!

| 14 Mar 2025 | Can Black People Be Racist? | MiniPod | 00:16:50 | |
Racism, Race-baiting, and Why Is It All About Race Anyway?
Our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany cross weigh the age-old question: can Black people be racist? Well first it depends what we mean when we say “racism.”
Moreover, why is it that every time someone tries to point out structural racism online, some troll just has to accuse them of “race-baiting”? Let’s talk about it.

| 24 Oct 2024 | When Fascism Comes for You | 01:19:40 | |
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.

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. Is that too much to ask??

| 27 Mar 2025 | Pop the Balloon (Political Edition): Conversations Between Black Men & Women | 01:13:36 | |
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum just have one thing to say: the numbers don’t lie–we finally got a poll of Black People y’all!! With guests Terrance Woodbury, Democratic pollster, and Gary Chambers, civil rights advocate and perennial candidate (you might remember his blunt-smoking campaign ad).
One thing the data makes plain: there is a significant difference of values between many Black men and Black women. In a conversation that at times becomes heated, the hosts discuss those differences with their guests.
The data also shows that many Black folks are disillusioned with Democrats. Some are drifting toward the right as a result. How can Democrats adjust their strategy to appeal to the (often disillusioned) Black community? President of HIT Strategies Terrance Woodbury has been conducting the polls and has some crucial answers.
AND we have to cover Trump’s recent executive order that gives the federal government more control over voting registration. If it clears legal challenges, the changes will make it more difficult to register to vote, a classic GOP voter suppression strategy. You can see this strategy playing out right now in Georgia…
And of course we’ll hear from you! The hosts answer questions from a listener inspired by last week’s episode about political lobbyists and donors.

| 27 Feb 2025 | America For Sale | 00:55:14 | |
Why Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP Will DEVASTATE America. Should Dems Skip the SOTU?
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum brace for the long night (shout out GOT fans).
House Republicans passed a budget framework that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, plus huge tax breaks for the wealthy. Trump is literally going to war with the poor. It’s not hyperbole to say that millions of American lives are at risk.
Meanwhile, big shakeups at MSNBC mean there is even less representation in cable news these days. We grieve the loss of Joy Reid’s show, The ReidOut, and ask: would boycotting cable news be more harmful or helpful?
Should Democrats show up to Trump’s State of the Union address? With Trump dismantling our democracy and the GOP pushing for devastating cuts to the social safety net, attending this yearly ceremony may just be a bad look.
Lastly: WE WON!! Our first NAACP Image Award is in the bag, we won in the outstanding news & information podcast category. It’s all thanks to you, our NLP fam. THANK YOU!!!

| 08 Aug 2024 | Balls to the Walz | 01:06:05 | |
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.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum prep us for the first debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump!
How should Kamala respond to Trump’s factless attacks? What should her overall strategy be, get inside Trump’s head, call out every lie, or stay high when he goes low? Will swing voters even pay attention to this debate??
Along with a recap of the issues the candidates are likely to discuss, including immigration and the border, the hosts reflect on debates from the last 8 years, including Andrew’s legendary clapback at Ron DeSantis.

| 18 Jul 2024 | Shots Fired | 01:21:16 | |
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. Welcome home y’all!

| 02 May 2024 | Unrest, Death Row, and Euphoria | 01:18:47 | |
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.

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. Welcome home y’all!

| 28 Feb 2025 | Who’s Racist Jesse Watters?? | MiniPod | 00:14:56 | |
Fox News host Jesse Watters accused Atlanta Pastor Jamal Bryant of racism for statements the pastor made about Black Trump supporters. Specifically, Black Trump supporters who threatened the pastor’s life (or at least his bodily freedom) at a White House event. NLP hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum clap back.

| 09 May 2024 | White Supremacists in Congress? And Marilyn Mosby Stops By | 01:25:36 | |
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! Call the White House and ask for her pardon at 202-456-1111. Sign the petition, donate, and show your support at justiceformarilynmosby.com.

| 20 May 2024 | Is This Space Really Safe? | MiniPod | 00:23:32 | |
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.

| 25 Feb 2025 | Who REALLY Didn't Earn It? | Angela Rye SoloPod | 00:21:33 | |
Trump fires top Black general and installs unqualified loyalists to key positions. The end of DEI and the myth of meritocracy.
Four-Star General CQ Brown Jr. was the top military officer, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, until he was fired last Friday by president Trump via a social media post. Apparently Brown was too “woke” for the Trump admin–and he just so happens to be Black.
THREE-Star LIEUTENANT General Dan Caine has been promoted as Brown’s replacement. Now, why is a less qualified (and retired) general being tapped to replace General Brown in this prestigious position? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he’s white, could it?
Using examples, like the recent promotion of MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, Angela Rye exposes the hypocrisy of MAGA when they promote the end of DEI as the return of “meritocracy.” There will be serious consequences to promoting unqualified individuals to positions of power.

| 16 Apr 2025 | Big Gretch with the Big Dogs | MiniPod | 00:31:52 | |
Governor Whitmer on Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist AND her visit with Trump.
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are joined by the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.
Governor Whitmer’s term is almost over and the race to succeed her is on. Notably, she has not endorsed her Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist (nor anyone else). Lt. Gov Gilchrist is a friend of the show and the Black community, and so the hosts must ask: what gives?
PLUS Governor Whitmer has said she’s open to working with Trump and she was even spotted recently at the White House in a somewhat embarrassing photo. We’ll get to the bottom of her controversial decision to meet with the president; was the meeting productive or was she just used as a photo-op prop?

| 20 Jun 2024 | From Poles to Polls | 01:08:30 | |
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 are 138 days away from the election. Welcome home y’all!

| 12 Dec 2024 | Murder He Wrote | 01:16:20 | |
Healthcare CEO murdered, China hacks US phones, Trump DOJ overreach, Syria debrief.
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum process the recent shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The response to his death by the public has been callous, at times even celebratory. Our hosts dig into the reasons why.
We’ve launched Stories from the Ground on nativelandpod.com, a place for you to share news and events with our NLP fam. Check it out!
The Inspector General for the Department of Justice announced that Trump’s DOJ collected the phone records of members of Congress. We’ll get into what the report says and why it matters.
More reasons to be careful around your phone: Federal Authorities have warned U.S. citizens about an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign. The hackers are harvesting metadata from major telecom providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc). What exactly are they collecting and what can we do?
And finally, a debrief on the historic events unfolding in Syria. Syria’s 13-year civil war is over??

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley does not mince words; if you are not a part of the resistance then you are a part of the problem. In this interview with hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum, this progressive Democrat outlines her frustrations with her own party and what she believes that fight against Musk and Trump should look like.
Part of the fight is not giving up on the Black agenda! Amidst this assault on DEI, Congresswoman Pressley and some of her colleagues have put forward a national reparations bill. Read more about H.R. 40 here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/40

| 25 Mar 2025 | Group Chat Gone Wild | Angela Rye SoloPod | 00:23:22 | |
GOP wants to secure America but can’t even secure the group chat.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in HOT water after accidentally texting war plans to a journalist from The Atlantic. Two other high level Trump appointees, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, were on the same text thread and just got GRILLED by Congress for their involvement.
In the upside-down world of rightwing media they’re pretending like the highest ranking military leader (besides the president himself) accidentally sending war plans to members of the public is no big deal. We’ll give it to you straight and bring the receipts today on NLP with Angela Rye.

| 16 Jan 2025 | Our WorldStar Congress | 01:07:20 | |
Historically Black community burns, DOJ on Tulsa massacre, and Trump cabinet picks.
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum acknowledge our brothers and sisters still reeling from the wildfires in the LA area. We’ll pay special attention to a historic Black neighborhood in Altadena that was hit by the Eaton Fire.
A shout out to Marilyn Mosby who’s running out of time to get a pardon from President Biden! Sign the petition @ justiceformarilynmosby.com
It’s becoming increasingly common for members of Congress to challenge each other to fist fights. What’s behind this phenomenon and how likely is it that we’ll see our elected officials ACTUALLY come to blows?
The DOJ has released a review of the Tulsa massacre. They found that the race riot was a “coordinated, military style attack” against the Black community but there’s no one left to prosecute. What’s next for the survivors?
Trump’s cabinet is being confirmed by the Senate this week, including some of his more controversial picks like Christian Crusader Pete Hegseth. Our hosts track which confirmations deserve our attention and share some spicy moments from earlier in the week.

| 04 Apr 2024 | What is Project 2025? | 01:04:16 | |
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. Keep those questions and comments coming!!

| 10 Oct 2024 | Facts and Feelings: Milton (& rich white kids) | 01:10:56 | |
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?

And Tiffany shares a story about getting put into a confrontational interview in front of high school students, at an event where she found herself surrounded by unfriendly white conservatives. How do we act when we find ourselves in what feels like an alternate universe (with alternate facts)?

| 21 Mar 2024 | Trump’s Bloodbath… The First Step | 01:09:38 | |
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! Send us a video @nativelandpod and we may feature you on the podcast.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and California Rep. Maxine Waters sat down with hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum, joined by Charlamagne Tha God, during a special live broadcast on day three of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in August. Big Gretch taps into the white women voting mentality for November and talks about the impact Kamala Harris is already having on younger generations. And longtime politician Rep.

| 03 Oct 2024 | Is This the October Surprise? | 01:22:09 | |
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, we’ll hear from a listener who needs help convincing young men in his community to vote.

| 15 Aug 2024 | Trump’s Lust for Kamala | 01:11:32 | |
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. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
