This week, the “Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth, used his platform to criticize the media’s coverage of the Iran war. He went so far as to offer rewrites of specific headlines that he disapproved of, and said that he “can’t wait” for David Ellison to take over CNN. Billionaire David Ellison is close to Trump and recently acquired CNN (as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal). He is expected to make CNN’s coverage more conservative, just as he did with CBS. Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, has threatened to pull the licenses of TV broadcasters who are critical of the Iran war. Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest Garrison Hayes, for this segment from episode #123 that aired on 03-19-26.

The Atlanta Hawks basketball team were all set to host “Magic City Monday” as part of their ongoing series highlighting cultural institutions in Atlanta. Magic City is a (much beloved) local strip club.

On episode 123 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest-host, Garrison Hayes. Garrison is an NAACP-nominated journalist with the news magazine, Mother Jones. He produces short documentaries where he explores the hidden or forgotten corners of Black history, faith, and politics (and his love of books).

Goes Sideways Illinois Senate Race, Stratton Wins the Primary Secretary of War Hegseth Criticizes Media Coverage of the Iran War Not only did the “Secretary of War” criticize the media’s coverage of the Iran war–he offered his own rewrites of specific headlines, and said that he “can’t wait” for David Ellison to take over CNN. Billionaire David Ellison is close to Trump and recently acquired CNN (as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal). He is expected to make CNN’s coverage more conservative, just as he did with CBS. Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, has threatened to pull the licenses of TV broadcasters who are critical of the Iran war. Media suppression is part of Trump’s brand of heavy-handed American imperialism that has dropped even the pretense of following international law. After launching overt operations to topple regimes in Venezuela and Iran, he casually floated the idea of “taking” Cuba as well.

On this week’s SoloPod, our host Angela Rye is joined by the Executive Director for the Congressional Black Caucus, Vincent Evans, to discuss the SAVE Act, and touch on the Target Boycott. Full Fannie Lou Hamer Clip: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DCGNnm7oqZF/ Presented by Republicans as a bill to protect against non-citizens voting, the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans of their right to vote by adding additional requirements to register, like providing a birth certificate. It’s a xenophobic reinterpretation of so-called “Voter ID” laws which conservatives have pushed for decades to reduce the voting power of mostly poor and minority communities. They believe that high voter turnout in elections benefits Democrats. The Senate is debating the SAVE act today, it’s already passed through the House. Mandatory Disclaimer: there is no evidence of non-citizens voting at a scale large enough to impact U.S. elections. Want to ask Angela a question?

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Elizabeth Dionne, a relentless reformer, attorney, and former chair of the Belmont Select Board with proven leadership, financial, and legal expertise. Elizabeth is running for Massachusetts State Treasurer, bringing a history of fiscal responsibility, having delivered balanced municipal budgets and never relying on reserve funds. As a mother of four and a decades-long resident of Massachusetts, Elizabeth is focused on restoring fiscal sanity and advocating for efficient, taxpayer-centered governance. She is widely recognized for working across the aisle, championing transparency, and prioritizing common sense in public service. This episode dives into the urgent issues facing Massachusetts, highlighting controversial and neglected realities, including unchecked government spending, cronyism, insider deals, and an overwhelming exodus of taxpayers and young talent driven by high costs. Elizabeth explains how, over years of one-party Democratic rule, waste, graft, and benefit fraud have flourished while essential state agencies—like the Lottery and the School Building Authority—are riddled with inefficiency and patronage hires. She exposes staggering mismanagement under the current treasurer, the misuse of funds for personal vendettas, and runaway costs in programs meant to support local communities and frontline services. Elizabeth lays out her plan for regular audits, whistleblower protection, and transparency, calling on voters to make 2026 the year Massachusetts reclaims responsible government. The conversation features a call to action for voters to prioritize local elections, push back against the status quo, and demand leadership that values every tax dollar. “I am taking no industry money. If you look at her donations, a lot of industry money. The people who are coming before her, the people she’s regulating, she’s taking money from. That’s corrupt.” ~Elizabeth Dionne This week on Political Contessa: Massachusetts’ unchecked government spending and the urgent need for audits The impact of one-party rule, cronyism, and benefit fraud on state finances Mismanagement and patronage hires undermining the Massachusetts Lottery How runaway costs in the School Building Authority neglect needy students The exodus of taxpayers and young talent from Massachusetts Exploding benefit rolls and the strain on the state’s tax base The $33 billion deficit threatening public pensions and fiscal stability A concrete plan for whistleblower protection, transparency, and fiscal reform Connect with Elizabeth Dionne: Elizabeth Dionne campaign website Resources mentioned: Massachusetts State Retirement Board Massachusetts School Building Authority Star Market app (for coupon savings, an example of personal fiscal discipline) Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards. The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community. Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined. Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Mass Fiscal Alliance Foundation. Paul is known for his relentless advocacy on fiscal responsibility, governmental transparency, and energy policy throughout Massachusetts and the broader New England region. Leading a nonprofit dedicated to informing citizens and policymakers, Paul consistently delivers in-depth research and analysis on tax policy, regulatory issues, and the escalating costs of energy mandates. Through his work at Mass Fiscal, he seeks to encourage practical solutions that foster economic growth while respecting individual liberty. Jennifer and Paul explore the escalating utility costs impacting Massachusetts families and businesses as a result of the state’s net zero by 2050 mandate. This episode covers detailed findings from Mass Fiscal’s white papers and studies, revealing the controversial cost of climate policies and the lack of transparency from state leadership. Paul voices concern over the impact of green energy legislation, critiques the timeline for implementing policies until after key elections, and unpacks the consequences for local communities facing state overreach. Listeners will gain a comprehensive look at the debate over alternate energy, the real costs attributed to solar and wind, and the pattern of outmigration from Massachusetts due to economic burdens. The conversation challenges current leadership and calls attention to the need for reliable, affordable power solutions. “It’s obvious, right? A lot of times in politics your eyes and your ears hear and see things, but then you go with your gut. Then politicians tell you, ‘Don’t believe what you’re reading, what you’re seeing or what your gut is telling you’.” ~Paul Craney This week on Political Contessa: Net zero by 2050 as Massachusetts law and its ripple effects The fiscal reality: projected $815 billion cost for net zero implementation in New England Governor Healey’s delay of the Clean Heat Standard until after elections The increasing annual utility bills driven by climate policies The structure and consequences of Massachusetts’ solar incentives The new law overruling local zoning for battery installation and “battery factory” expansion The impact on businesses and families: outmigration and economic burden The necessity for government transparency and the consequences for a lack of accountability Connect with Paul Craney and Resources Mentioned: Mass Fiscal Alliance Foundation: https://fiscalalliancefoundation.org Mass Fiscal Alliance: https://massfiscal.org Fiscal Alliance Foundation on Social Media FacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube Mass Fiscal on Social Media FacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube Independent Women’s Forum (for further research and data) Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes back her friend, Kendall Qualls, a business entrepreneur, Army veteran, and candidate for governor of Minnesota. This episode is a clarion call for civil discourse around education, governance, and community values. Kendall's vision for Minnesota is one of revitalization, seeking to address the economic challenges that have driven significant outmigration and resident dissatisfaction, and emphasizing the need for accountability and strong leadership in the statehouse.Jennifer and Kendall explore the fallout from the recent $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota and how it reflects broader governance issues in blue states. The conversation pivots to examine the implications of such scandals in Massachusetts, highlighting alarming population decline driven by those same policies. They dissect the perils of unchecked spending on illegal immigration and its impact on local communities, underscoring the need for responsible fiscal management that serves the citizens. They explore the explosive social movements in Minnesota, questioning the motives behind activist-driven narratives and the implications of such activism on public safety and community relations. This episode offers a crucial perspective on the challenges posed by ideological extremism in the political landscape, particularly regarding education, societal values, and the harrowing racial division. “We’re not hyphenated Americans, so it’s time to stop acting like it.” ~Kendall Qualls Today on Political Contessa: The consequences of economic policies in blue states directly affect local families, leading to significant outmigration to states with more favorable economic conditions. The recent fraud scandals in Minnesota reveal systemic governance failures with no accountability from state leadership. Activist-driven narratives, especially regarding immigration and public safety, can obscure critical issues affecting citizen welfare. Disrupting educational practices and ideologies is essential to cultivating future generations capable of engaging meaningfully with history. Racial and social tensions have been exacerbated by political narratives, especially following significant national events over the past several years. There’s a pressing need for candidates like Kendall Qualls to infuse fresh perspectives and drive meaningful changes in traditionally blue states like Minnesota. A call for fiscal responsibility and a reassessment of welfare policies aimed at illegal immigrants is crucial to address rising costs for local residents. Understanding historical context and the identities of our founding figures remains vital for fostering national pride and unity.

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant. Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you. Then Pastor Bryant holds space for us as we remember another reverend, Jesse Jackson, who passed away Tuesday, February 17th. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students. The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections. The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes. Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time. We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

Jennifer is an experienced attorney and political strategist, known for her leadership as former Chairwoman of the Massachusetts Republican Party and as the founder of Pocketbook Project. Jennifer has built her career championing conservative values, government transparency, and women's participation in politics across Massachusetts.

She breaks down the Massachusetts budget’s recent growth under Governor Healey and examines changes in government spending, rising utility costs, and resident outmigration. The episode also highlights proposals from the Boston City Council to create an immigrant emergency response fund and addresses how public and private funds are being allocated at the local level, all while the local support for seniors, veterans, and the state’s homeless are being ignored. “We should be helping our homeless. We should be helping our elderly, number one and two. We should be helping our veterans.” Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: How Massachusetts is a testing ground for Democratic strategies Examining the rapid wealth accumulation by members of Congress Why the Democrats are political hypocrites regarding wealth and messaging Government leaders abusing insider information and ethical boundaries Bloated State budgets and fraudulent government spending Rising utility costs and resident migration to other states Boston City Council proposals ignoring the needs of the elderly, homeless and veterans Misuse of SNAP and other public welfare benefits Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

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.

Host Bakari Sellers recaps Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, the Puerto Rican singer gave a performance entirely in Spanish against the backdrop of a brutal deportation campaign occurring across the United States. The Trump Administration has said from the start that deportations would target primarily violent criminals, and Trump himself frequently claims that they’re deporting “the worst of the worst.” The reality looks far different, as revealed in a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. AND Governor Wes Moore suggests that racism is the reason why he was singled out and uninvited to an annual meeting of governors at the White House. Want to ask Bakari a question?

What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.

It’s widely believed that Bad Bunny will stage an anti-ICE protest during his halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl. The question is, how far will he go–will the performance itself be a protest, and what could that look like? Our hosts discuss the NFL’s failure to meet its promises to diversify its coaching staff, and play an absolutely EPIC football-related political attack ad by the Georgia Democrats.

In this week's episode, Jennifer discusses the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the troubling responses that followed on social and mainstream media. She dives into the alarming increase of hate speech, the breakdown of respectful discourse, and the pressing need for adults and leaders to set better examples for the next generation. The episode challenges both sides of the political spectrum for fueling divisiveness and emphasizes the difference between free speech and incitement. With passionate calls to restore civility and unite around shared values, Jennifer urges listeners to reject hatred and work collaboratively toward healing and progress in American democracy. “You don't just walk in and decide that the person who's there is wrong, and you are right, and you're going to take matters into your own hands.” ~Jennifer This week on Political Contessa: The assassination of Charlie Kirk and public reactions The urgent need to restore respect in political and personal life Generational influence on values and expectations Role models: the responsibility of leaders, educators, and parents Controversial commentary from both left and right Constitutional limits of free speech versus hate speech Impact of social media on fueling polarization How respect and civility can bring unity and progress Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

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… Want to ask Angela a question?

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Ann Brensley, candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Adrienne Simeone, founder of the Mama Bear Effect nonprofit and a mother of four. Ann Brensley is recognized for her focus on parental involvement and educational policy reform, emphasizing the importance of family values in governance. Adrienne Simeone, an advocate for children’s safety and parental rights, leads the Mama Bear Effect and works to expose issues affecting children in schools, drawing from personal experience and her research into child protection and sexual abuse prevention. Jennifer, Ann, and Adrienne engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the controversial surveys and curriculum introduced to Massachusetts public school students, with explicit questions on gender identity and sexuality. They address parental rights, transparency in education, and the role of schools in students’ personal development. The episode explores the growing concern about inappropriate content and lack of parental opt-in, how mental health issues in youth are addressed, and the importance of moral courage among parents advocating for their children’s safety. Controversial comments include critiques of sex education materials, frustration with limited parental control, and comparisons of certain school survey practices to child abuse. The conversation ends with actionable advice for parents and candidates seeking to effect change in their communities and legislative systems. "It teeters to me on not only outrageous and unbelievable and disgusting, but it teeters on almost child porn and child abuse. To ask a child those questions." ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Parental involvement and transparency in school curricula State-mandated surveys with explicit sexual questions for minors Opt-in versus opt-out legislation for sensitive school topics Concerns about the normalization of gender and sexuality topics in schools Impact of mental health issues on adolescent identity Empowering parents to speak up at school committees and run for office The role of social media and information access in shaping youth behaviors Strategies for parents to communicate and advocate within their communities Connect with Anne Brensley: Anne Brensley for Lieutenant Governor Connect with Adrienne Simeone:Mama Bear Effect Website Mama Bear Effect on Facebook and Instagram Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Bryan Maxwell is one of the 10 people hoping to represent the Democratic Party in this fall's election for outgoing Senator Dick Durbin's seat. Known for supporting anti-war causes, he shares his views on military spending, economic sanctions in other countries, and being a socialist.

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.

We’ll talk with him about the incident and so much more… FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Trump gives a deranged Greenland speech at Davos. – Is Donald Trump Okay? Recent statements call his mental acuity into question. – Minnesota Police Officers say they are NOT safe with ICE – Why is the NCAA Football Championship team SO Old? – Pro Palestine: NFL Player Fined – Nicki Minaj Calls for the Arrest of Don Lemon – How Dems Expect Us to React When They Cuss Is it OK to protest inside of a church? That’s exactly what happened earlier this week when protestors in St. Paul disrupted a church service. The pastor for the church is a field director for the local ICE office. Don Lemon covered this protest as a journalist and rightwing media is now calling him a criminal for it. That’s obviously bull sh*t but do WE think it’s OK to protest at church?? Our hosts debate… 24 members of Congress are 80 or older, and many of them are running for re-election. We’ve seen politicians on both sides of the aisle (Mitch McConnell, Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, to name a few) who continue to work and hold senior positions when it’s CLEAR they are no longer fit. Should there be an age limit for Congress? How to we foster and recruit youth?

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?

For the MiniPod this week, our hosts respond to one of your questions: what would America look like if Obama was never president? Policies aside–Obama was such a powerful symbol for Black America. His presidency also inspired a powerful backlash. Our hosts discuss the legacy of Obama and the symbolism of Obama as they ask: was it worth it?

We heard y’all want us to get to more topics, well, here we go: For Your Situational Awareness Pastor Jamal Bryant catches heat for his wife’s dress? MAGA-coded CBS news anchor Tony Dokoupil bombs on his first day. Incumbent Tim Walz Drops Out of the Minnesota governor race. Trump accidentally gives Democrats their best ad for the midterms. War in Venezuela? What’s it really about? What the heck is happening with Venezuela?? Trump has declared that the United States is going to control the country. Whose interests does this supposed occupation serve, how did we reach this point, and where could we be headed? Random as they may seem, there is a throughline through all the global conflicts the US gets involved in… Is it AI-generated? Our hosts play a game to see if they can detect which video is AI. AI content and devices in general had our families in a chokehold this holiday season, especially our elders. How about you? Let us know in the comments!

On this week’s SoloPod, we mark the 5th anniversary of the attack on the US Capital building by a mob of Trump supporters–the infamous January 6th insurrection. At the start of his second term, Trump issued a blanket pardon to the J6 insurrectionists, releasing them from prison. The pardons are a part of MAGA’s ongoing effort to rewrite the history of J6 and downplay the violent actions of those involved. Check out how the White House is “commemorating” January 6th: https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/ Today's guest is one of the Capital Police officers who defended the capital building and fought with the rioters. He testified to Congress about what he saw that day, wrote a memoir about his experience, and run for public office in Maryland. His testimony is vital now more than ever.
