Native Land Pod is brought to you by Reasoned Choice Media.

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.

ICE Detains Americans and Targets the Press | Angela Rye SoloPod

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?

A Message from a Friend of the Show

The Re-Whiting of America feat. Nikole Hannah-

CTAs

On episode 114 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest co-host, Joy Reid! PLUS we’re joined by the famed creator of The 1619 Project and staff writer for the New York Times, Nikole Hannah-Jones. 

 

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS


The Federal Reserve is Under Investigation

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Announces Minnesota is Suing DHS


The Clintons Skip Testifying to Congress about Epstein 


Druski’s Viral Video Making Fun of Mega Church Pastors 


Robin Kelly Announces Articles of Impeachment Against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

 

So much to discuss this week fam! We recorded last week’s episode right before Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Our hosts react and go through some of the protests and clashes with law enforcement in Minneapolis over the last week. We’re looking at sheriffs, mayors, DA’s–can anyone hold the new American Gestapo to account??  

 

The Trump administration’s official social media accounts have been posting white supremacist and nazi slogans. At the same time, Trump’s EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) has encouraged specifically white males to file for employment discrimination. Our hosts discuss Trump’s efforts to whiten America with the PERFECT guest, creator of The 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones.
