Summary
On episode 118 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host Kevin Ortega-Rojas.
You may know Kevin from his prolific social media presence, breaking news for more than half a million followers. He’s a writer, commentator, and host of HeresWhyKevin.
FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
– Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan
– Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire”
– DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing
– Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025
– Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies.
President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.
Our hosts close the show by reading letters from the Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas, where young children are being held.
