The Road to Building the GOP's Frankenstein Part 1: With Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum 

Fantastic episode!! And yes, Native Land is loved by white people too! I’m a Florida resident and love this trio!! They truly are a breath of fresh air♥️

This felt like sitting at the kids table at Thanksgiving and listening in on grown folks talking. We need MORE of these conversations. Thank you all for this! ❤

If I was in this room I would ask, "What are the policies Black conservatives think benefits our race?" This distinction is important because the arguments I've heard completely ignores the existence of systemic racism.

I love Tiffany! I'll never forgive MSNBC for treating her that way. But it's good to see Michael Steele reconnecting with her. Thanks for posting this.

If you are the chairman, you have to own it Mike. You cant say I only did the right things in a party that has mostly bad intentions.

I stopped watching MSNBC when they let Tiffany go… also regarding Obama Care: thank God for it.. I was able to get off the “Plantation” with early retirement and was able to use Obama Care during the gap period…I had the best health care also with the insurance company that I chose and didn’t have to spend thousands out-of-pocket on needed CT/MRI scans.. I’m grateful y’all 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I miss Tiffany on the weekends...

Best show ever. I will definitely be watching Native Land Pod and I am a white 65 year old Democrat. Your conversation is so important and I always love a good discussion. Thanks!

Michael you have to get back Native land podcast back. There is a lot of politics to cover. Love this conversation

I admire that Micheal Steele was able to understand how far the Republican party has shifted since the Reagan era and that he did not allow loyalty to the party dogma to lessen his loyalty to the US Constitution itself. Being a lifelong Anarchist I am glad minority views are finally breaking out in the wider society!

Missouri white guy who very much enjoyed this discussion. Dang good job!

"Perfection is not required. You are worthy." Angela Rye Great word for everyone, regardless of age.

Good conversation! Angela digs deep…

I really like Michael Steele how he has stepped up trying to save his party

Tiffany, that question for Michael, ' so you joined the party when you were three ', that was a BANGER. That's why people need you at their parties. Take Angela with you though, so you'll get home safe.❤❤ I love your sense of humor, and your intellect. ❤

I miss her very much MSNBC needs her back asap

Thank you for telling people that this problem did not start with Trump or the Tea Party. I am the same age as Mr. Steele, and I saw this, what I thought was starting, I didn't know about the John Birch Society at that time.

We feel nothing but pure love from this conversation 💕. Thanks to all of you.❤❤❤❤❤❤ Just had to include two additional hearts for Angela's parents.

I loved your mom and dad stopping by to say hi.

Micheal Steele is a treasure! Intelligent with integrity. Great interviews!

This is needed. I listen to both podcasts and would love to see Steele as a regular guest on Native Land. This discourse is NEEDED!

Angela's Mama is THE BEST. The Sassyness is GOLDEN!!!

4 beautiful black Americans 💐 greetings from Azorean Islands

Omg! I love this show. I’m a former registered Republican. Thank you so much for being a voice for us.

I thank you Mr. Steele for this much needed conversation. It’s rare that a seasoned person like you would give younger folks the opportunity to speak so openly and frankly about politics. I appreciate the passion that each of you share on your points of view.

Michael Steele is the most real Republican politician ever.

Mama & Papa Rye are so sweet. Love this podcast with all of these people...😊

Thank you! We need a Part 2.

Love, love, love this episode...

😂 Oh my God Andrew wit 2 female giants with mad intelligence and can both hold their own in the arena of politics. But I love them because they so real and black 😂 yeah I said it 😂 black 😂

I am a subscrider to Native Land. I most enjoy the differences between these 3 very professionals representing 3 different industries (lawyer, media host, a successful politician). WOW! 3 High achievers, both genders, in their mid 40s and best friends, who know the highs and lows.😂🎉

I’m here for this great conversation. Yes you are a “Lucky Boy” Michael. Really glad to see beautiful Tiffany. Ok got my Martini Let’s Go🖐🏾😊

Luv’n this content Michael, Angela, Tiff, Andrew … most refreshing, honest and real podcast, much needed and appreciated ❤❤❤

Top-notch conversation! More please

Loved the discussion blacks can debate it’s not hurtful or harmful thank you for having NLP on!!!

Brilliant messaging for all of us to grow and face the truth within. What would my younger self do now. Oh my God, way different. As painful as it is, this is a courageous time to serve our country and self. Love this beautiful team of brilliant minds. Ty Keep teaching us!

I believe in the new Michael Steele.

2 of my favorite podcasts🤩🤩 Great discussion! This is like a double dose of Native Land Pod this week!!!✊🏽✊🏽

I love this! Great discussion. I listen to Native Land pod every week. I wanted to hear more of what Andrew had to say. This group should have these discussions more often. This was a very engaging conversation.

I love it. We love our family 💗

Excellent episode!!!!

This show is so good. Everyone should be watching Native Land Pod on Thursday's good show.. Good show Michael Steele..

This platform as a whole is great but more importantly is that Angela is on point in reference to her position to asking her questions to Michael which did appear to be defensive. I’m 72 and clearly agree with her.

Welcome home!!! 4 of my favorite people in the same place! Pinch me 😂 Thanks Michael for highlighting Native Land and the awesome work and education they continue to give to our communities. Love you much for all you do ❣️🎉

Great show

I am happy to see these four together in a conversation, like this! Tiffany, I miss you on MSNBC-Tiffany Cross! Now I have somewhere to go to hear you! Thanks.🎉🎉🎉

Michael - As a viewer of the Frankenstein discussion and with all due respect, you kept saying, "I had to get (Joe Walsh, Tim Scott, fill in the blank) elected." But the truth of the matter is you didn't "have to." And I hope you will reflect on this conversation and see that if the candidates you led the charge to elevate did not align with YOUR principles and values, then no you didn't have to. You had the choice to proceed as you did or to fire yourself before they had a chance to. AND your animation and fiery, refusing to give up response to Angela and Tiffany is a dead giveaway to the regret that you may have hidden from yourself. As Chairman, you - perhaps unwittingly - helped lay the path for a monster who is now at the helm of an autocratic movement that is set on, not just getting their candidates elected, but on dismantling the fabric of our democracy and along with those actions the black people who did not vote for them in 2020. I for one pray that, ultimately, none of us will not enable them in their quest to destroy us by denying them our votes.

Bravo. I love this. It made my whole day. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow Michael great podcast

this was really great. thank for opportunity to fly-on-the-wall

Very insightful, this was a great pod!

I enjoyed this conversation and believe that you all have everyone’s best interest at heart, regardless of the differences of opinion. I do thank you all for the work that you do. Keep engaging and informing the communities. We need it. Thank you all!

Keep going Michael!

I absolutely agree with Angela Rye on this point. Micheal Steele,you are not that gullible to me. The need to realize and / or acknowledge that during that time of the "tea party" was the building up to this moment of megaTrumpers That said, when it comes to the Republicans, their platform remains consistent with policy's that harm our community. Steele keeps talking about his job description and his state. It actually was bigger than his narrow perception, i.e., his job. You Micheal were on the opposing side, chanting "fired N.Pelosi " It felt very misogynistic from my view.

OMG Can Y'all Do Shows Like This One, Once A Month I Loved The Content And GREAT Insight!!!💙💙💙

Great podcast today... Luv all you all for expeessing each of your personal experiences and opinion. I truly enjoyed listening ✊🏿 Michael stop being so defensive. Lol keep up the great work Michael ✊🏿

PROUD, PROUD, PROUD, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I'm with Michael and Tiffany. I have lived in MAGA states and there are a lot of black men adoring Trump. Tennessee and Alabama are full of them.

Wonderful group this morning. 🙌 ❤

Angela you are absolutely right

Great show. I really love the mutual respect you have for each other. It’s ok to ask Do you Regret it and it’s ok that Michael didn’t. He thought he was doing the right thing. I appreciate what Andrew said about being prepared and taking advantage of an opportunity. We have all thought “maybe I can make a difference in a space!” I think a lot of minorities have conservative values or you think you are voting your income level. The reality now is that we are going to have to fight for our lives this election. Fight for our children’s lives. We could end up having Russia or some other world power trying to march on our shores.

This podcast has proven that we do know what we're talking about and a lot of people want to hear substantive conversation! Keep it coming 🙂

Good conversations great show

Love your content!!!!! Thank you!

This was really good! I have often wanted to hear Mr. Steele's thoughts about these topics. Appreciating the Native Land podcasters but especially appreciated Andrew Gillum helping to move the conversation forward in a way that I'm waiting to hear more. It may have gotten uncomfortable but it is what we need to see and hear. Honest direct conversations from black folks at their different levels of awareness, experience and involvement talk about all of this. Now bring Tara Setmayer into the mix and let's go. Maybe add some Charles Blow while you are at it.

I like this

Only reason I’m watching is because I love Tiff, Angela and Andrew. Wherever they are I’m watching and listening.

I like this episode, and the differing opinion and healthy debate of intellectual equals with mutual respect!

Great episode Fam!!! Keep it Up! 💯💯💯

Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌

Loved this show, so much nuance from all four parties. Insightful ❤

Native Land is my fave new podcast.

Didn't know Michael Steele had a podcast . Since he's safe as a politician and he got my favorite people Native Land Podcast I gotta watch .

I've been a family member of Native Land Pod since day 1 and this was a great episode.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Are we going to get a part 2???

That was an excellent contribution to the conversation. Michael had a challenging job running the RNC as a Black man. I recall the elevation of JC Watt and how marginalized he became when the power struggles occurred in the House. Michael has used various media platforms to shift the narrative about himself that weren't available to JC, and that is a good thing. Glad to know more about the ways our perspectives as Black people shape the political discourse.

Great episode. Mr. Steele, can you bring some young brothers. Always seems like political podcasts mainly have 40 years & up folk

Fantastic, amazing and the best full throated discussion that kept me fully engaged.

Great content, so happy to have found your platform.

Interesting discussion. I never watched MSP, first time watching because of the hosts of Native Land.

Thanks for sharing this conversation, the views shared are understandable, but at the end of the day, we must vote in numbers so large that it cannot be challenged by either party, whether it be Biden or Trump. I VOTE.

I love this collaboration!!!

I think Mr. Steele is in defense mode and he is not being humble and honest about what he was a part of. Who he is now is better than that person so he should admit that and say yes I see now what that I was a part of was something sinister.

Thank you Angela, I have wanted to ask Michael these questions.

Love this discussion ❤love my ppl

Ya'll gota do this again!! Run it back!!! Great show!

This is super great!! Appreciate y'all

I love you for asking and staying on the line of questioning, Angela Rye!!!!

Great discussion, hey, we've all done things we weren't proud of, but that's life and learning from living. We come from different places, it's where we're going that's going to determine our humanity and our connection to one another in love and spirit. Love each and every one of you. Looking forward to the next set of both of your podcasts .

Work it Ms. Mama Rye! ❤❤❤

Now I don’t know how i came upon this but Andrew is speaking to my soul as his younger self. My God…I am 53 and I have to start living and being authentic. This scared life needs to end and the lessons need to be learned.

Three of my favs plus Andrew Gilliam 👏🏽

Thank you, I'm listening.

❤❤❤❤

Now that was a show

Good episode. They really pushed Michael, but he handled it well. Much love to the Native Land Pod crew.

Yes, I'm Native and thought that too.

OMG…The symbolism! This is how it feels when you have gone to work sick and tired for years thinking you made things better for your family, to have your children find fault and point fingers at you. Which makes you feel you failed them! What is it about the first twenty years of no experience in life, that makes us think we know everything about others who are walking in their own shoes???

Amen Michael.

Total respect for them, great podcast.

Just really enjoyed this today . It was nice to be able to listen to something and not be swayed one way or another but to take it in and make up my own mind
