On this week’s (somewhat) SoloPod, Angela Rye is joined by renowned political commentator on Native Land Pod, our very own Tiffany Cross, to talk about these BEEFS between Black media outlets and figures. 

 

There are mysterious forces driving wedges between Black media figures who represent various factors of the Black community. We gotta have a meta conversation about what’s driving these beefs. For example, Roland Martin recently criticized Charlamagne for using his platform (The Breakfast Club) to call for an end to the government shutdown. 

 

Are famous Black media figures obligated to strategize together for the good of the Black community?

Episode Rundown

Jasmine Crockett for Senate

Legacy News and Trump

Hakeem Jeffries on Crockett's Senate Run

SCOTUS News with Elie Mystal

CTAs

On episode 109 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers discuss Jasmine Crockett’s campaign launch, and bring on one of our favorite guests: Elie Mystal. 

 

Racial profiling, birthright citizenship, executive power, and campaign finance are all up for judgement by the US Supreme Court. There’s no one better to walk us through SCOTUS’s recent and upcoming decisions than the Justice Correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal. 

 

Elie on Executive Power: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-ftc-slaughter/

 

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX 30) is running for senate in Texas in 2026. There’s a lot of chatter out there about her announcement, that she’s a Republican plant, that she can’t win–and it’s true that it’s tough for a Dem to win a senate seat in Texas. Our hosts take a critical look at the media coverage of her announcement and speculate on a possible path to victory. 

 

We’ll get to more of your questions this week, including one about legacy media’s complicity in the Trump administration's agenda. A lot of y’all had smoke for Tiffany in the questions this week, we’ll get to those in our MiniPod.

Engaging Your Non-Political Friends

Hegseth's War Crimes and Rightwing Narratives

Trump is Weirdly Obsessed with Ilhan Omar

On episode 108 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are repping the “shithole” countries with our esteemed guest, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.  

 

The US military keeps bombing boats in the Caribbean without providing evidence of wrongdoing. A recent “double-tap” strike was a violation of international law REGARDLESS of what crimes were alleged. Is there any chance that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (and all those in the chain of command) will be held liable for these war crimes? 

 

The president called for the DEATH of Democrats who encouraged soldiers not to follow illegal orders. Meanwhile, Bakari was tossed on a CNN panel to debate whether or not the US government has the right to kill anyone it pleases with the wife of the most infamous white nationalist in the White House, Katie Miller. What’s the responsible way for newsrooms to cover current events when extremists are hijacking the conversation?     

 

Our guest today is Representative Ilhan Omar (MN 5), who was the target of a deranged and racist rant by President Trump this week (he’s obsessed with her). Rep Omar was born in Somalia, and so Trump is now intent on taking out his psychopathic hatred toward Omar on the entire Somali-American community. There are reports that he plans to target Somali-Americans with ICE raids and revoke their immigration status wherever possible–even taking away their US citizenship if he can. 

 

In response to one of your questions the hosts give tips on how to engage your non-political friends. Disillusion with the political process is rampant. How do you have political conversations without turning people off?
