On episode 128 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Gary Chambers.    A mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, was one of the worst domestic violence incidences in recent history. A father of 7 killed his children and their mother, along with one other child. Our hosts are joined by Louisiana native, and civil rights activist, Gary Chambers, to discuss how to break the cycle violence.   FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:   1. During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that’s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction.   2. GOP Congressman Troy Nehls says Trump is “almost the second-coming” of Christ.   3. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (GA) says America “needs to be healed” after supporting a sex-abuser, Trump, for so long.    4. The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can’t afford to pay, they’ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state.    5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing. The bill would have disenfranchised 10s of millions of Americans of their right to vote.    6. Tucker Carlson apologizes for “misleading people” about Donald Trump.   7. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted over their alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremecist, and other extremist groups.    8. Virginia voters passed a redistricting measure on Tuesday, giving Democrats an advantage in the upcoming midterm election. 10 out of 11 available congressional seats are expected to go to Democrats.  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 194 days away from the midterm elections.

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has called on the left to embrace MTG (Marjorie Taylor Greene), Candace Owens, and other MAGA who have disowned Trump. On its face, it might seem like a bad idea–MTG in particular has made racist remarks toward Omar on the House floor–but Rep Omar’s logic is hard to argue with. 34:50   Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Joshua Doss, for this segment from episode #127 that aired on 04-16-27.    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!

After a politician has done something wrong, when do we say they are redeemed? When do we let them back in? Of course it’s different if it's a public figure like a politician vs. just a friend, but are there red lines where we never allow them back again?  There’s been a spate of members of Congress credibly accused of fraud, sexual misconduct, and assault. Who is redeemable and why, and what must they do? We’ll get into specific examples with our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Joshua Doss from HIT Strategies.    Buy Tickets to Native Land Pod LIVE in Atlanta: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/native-land-podcast-7q07bh   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!
