Summary
On this week’s SoloPod, Eddie “Papa” Rye joins his daughter to chat church protests and Super Bowl drama.
Two more have been arrested in connection to the Church protest in St. Paul, Minnesota, Jerome Richardson and Ian Austin. Meanwhile, we’ll play a clip from a different church protest that the Trump administration has completely ignored, probably because the protester was a white preacher spouting racism.
Speaking of ignorance, with the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, we’ll revisit a painful moment in NFL history for the Rye family (who are big Seahawk’s fans). The Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl, and the last time they were in the Super Bowl, they were ONE play away from glory when the unthinkable happened…

| 0:05.2 | Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome home, y'all. This is |
| 0:11.0 | another solo pod featuring me, your host, Angela Rye, for today. I am happy to be here with my |
| 0:19.7 | guest, but I am sad about at least one of the reasons that we are here and one of the topics for today. |
| 0:27.4 | And that is this Minnesota church protest that the administration has chosen to use to make an example out of protesters and journalists. |
| 0:36.4 | So just yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that two more of the nine defendants |
| 0:43.3 | had been arrested. |
| 0:44.5 | One of them is Ian Austin, and the other is Jerome Richardson, who is a college student |
| 0:49.9 | in Philadelphia. |
| 0:51.8 | Jerome Richardson, as a young man who spent his time at that protest, helping |
| 0:58.3 | Don Lemon get footage. He's a multimedia producer and has also been pricked. His conscience was |
| 1:04.8 | pricked when George Floyd was killed in Minnesota and joined protest then. He knows the protests well. |
| 1:10.2 | He knows the community well, being a Minneapolis resident, |
| 1:13.2 | and that day he was present for the protest. |
| 1:16.6 | And now today finds himself behind bars waiting to see a judge and to see what happens, |
| 1:24.2 | as at the time that we began to record. That is the latest that I have. |
| 1:28.2 | I ask that you all please continue to lift up Jerome Richardson and Ian Austin in prayer |
| 1:33.0 | and definitely send resources their way so they can continue to fight these really frivolous |
| 1:37.7 | cases to remind everyone this was not a pointless church protest. It was at City's Church |
| 1:43.6 | in Minneapolis where one of the pastors |
| 1:48.0 | of the church serves, I'm so sorry, City's Church in St. Paul, serves as an ICE field director, |
| 1:55.7 | David Easterwood. And that is what the protesters arrived to protest. Joining me now is someone who taught me everything I know. And that is what the protesters arrived to protest. Joining me now is someone who taught me everything I know, |
