Do you feel seen or heard

0:02

when you watch the news? You mean,

0:04

like good news wasn't really for me

0:07

exactly. You

0:10

know, it's interesting thing when black people gather. If

0:12

I were to say to y'all, right now, God is good,

0:14

you would say all the time. If I said all

0:16

the time, you would say God is good. Absolutely.

0:19

We speak a language that you can't even learn through osmosis.

0:21

So when we gather and we talk to each other about

0:24

each other, for each other, it's a different vibe.

0:26

It's authenticity on a different level. I'm

0:30

Major Gillham, former mayor in Florida

0:32

and former Democratic nominee for governor

0:34

of Florida. What's up, everybody. I'm Tiffany Cross.

0:36

I am a journalist, television host.

0:39

I am angela raie politics

0:41

and culture commentator. This is a place

0:43

where we can welcome you home because

0:45

at Native Lampids, we are creating

0:48

a native land o. The news is made

0:50

for the comfort of white people. The

0:52

news media has always made me feel grossly

0:54

unwelcome my entire career. I

0:57

have felt homeless. I get this feeling

0:59

watching the news. One day, I did like a marathon

1:02

chaw. I got it. I said, well, I feel dirty the

1:07

titling of the show Native Land

1:09

is a reclamation of this space

1:12

as ours, not being

1:14

curated by anyone else other than ourselves.

1:17

Yes, I was exhausted with having

1:19

the fight even to talk about issues that were significant

1:22

to millions of people across this country. We can

1:24

skip past all that and just get to conversations

1:26

of substance, but also to keep it abuck,

1:29

conversations of some foolishness too. You know, we

1:31

have a good time with each other. We're

1:35

talking about the real things that really matter

1:38

with real folks. All that. Welcome

1:41

home, y'all. Welcome home. Listen

1:44

to Native Land pod, dropping every Thursday

1:47

starting January eleventh on the iHeartRadio

1:49

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

1:51

get your podcasts.

True to our God, True to our Native Land.
