[@kemrenae]

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

[@seattleflea]

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! ❤

[@We_r_the_resistance]

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♥️

[@kasdst86]

I down for good allies!!

[@auditionvideoa7236]

[@tyronevincent1368]

Indeed. It's podcasts like these that are making legend media non existent

Lovely. We need all people to spread the truth, especially regarding that incompetent, ignorant former lazy, lying--what to be president again. Thank you...thank you.

[@gargoylestories]

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.

[@undisputedtruth6176]

Tiffany Latino Cross

[@cynthiawilliams2901]

I have not watched MSNBC since Tiffany left. I just can't......

[@nsaunders1981]

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

[@helenharris9698]

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. ❤

[@helenharris9698]

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.

[@mskiki150]

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

[@davidswift7776]

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

[@cathyhickson7098]

I loved it when the ladies put him to the fire, Yes Michael is an OG in contributing to the monster that the republican party has become. They indeed put him on the hot seat. I like him now but that's always in the back of my mind.

[@jeanhendersonharley3228]

I love Michael Steele he's awesome

[@patricehill4123]

It’s in the Front of mine. Because STILL a republican.

[@lisawalsh873]

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!

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

[@mdh5090]

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.

[@Michelle-qy9jm]

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

[@jdbrook2426]

Good conversation! Angela digs deep…

[@aboseman]

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

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

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🖐🏾😊

[@LeighFlowers-k7i]

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

[@taz2575]

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!

[@kammychinnock339]

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.

[@buckboyd2564]

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.😂🎉

[@mackenziemitchell3029]

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 ❣️🎉

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

[@SoniT]

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.

[@denisea.monsanto1818]

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

[@JaeJSmiles]

Thank you! We need a Part 2.

[@leecox6292]

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

[@MultiDevery]

Wow white guy from Missouri 🖤we need you! Society does we as Americans are counting on you

[@leecox6292]

Could you make that Morning Joe guy not talk so much?

[@ayeeshahm9078]

​@@leecox6292lol, this black lady cackled at this comment. He talks so much, and over everyone including his wife. He must think he's the smartest one in the room, but it's clear to all viewers that he isn't and i wish he'd just let everyone articulate their perspectives without feeling the need to chime in and grandstand.

[@ozburnurass]

Love, love, love this episode...

[@thomasmoss9957]

Great show

[@rebeccairl2290]

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

[@ronaldmccray5009]

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.

[@cynthiawilliams2901]

Excellent episode!!!!

[@missbb5432]

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kasdst86]

Wow. That’s unusual. Most adult patients and myself as a self employed physician, have had poor experiences.

Thank you. Standing on truth is as more important than following the masses. I am very much in alignment, in which I DO NOT WATCH AND/OR SUPPORT anything or anyone or any entity organization(s) that do not support my causes. Likewise, I am very outspoken on my place of employment; as such I am highly respected but not liked. For which I have blatantly told the owners that I am not there to be liked. The majority of them do not speak with nor greet me warmly. LIKEWISE - I treat them with disdain as well. Enough said. Stay strong and never, never give into B.S. THANKS.

[@macsam8778]

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.🎉🎉🎉

[@rodjeter5997]

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 ✊🏿

[@fplisterner7266]

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!

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

[@melanieragland3108]

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.

[@quietstorm6710]

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

[@phoebesmith70]

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.

[@kasdst86]

Ditto. I think Candice Owens actually did a good job on the last Breakfast Club interview. I was pleasantly surprised.

[@producedbykaeph]

Well when your life doesn’t revolve around your skin color, you can find many things that appeal to YOU. And when da whyte man isnt your every waking thought you live a better life.

[@valencia4215]

@@producedbykaeph This black woman agrees with you. So sick of the systemic racism nonsense as if we don't have the agency to pursue our goals. Gimme a break.

[@nancywall263]

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 🙂

[@buckboyd2564]

Michael Steele is the most real Republican politician ever.

[@corey5991]

He’s not a Republican whatsoever. He’s a Democrat

[@IGNANT4LIFE]

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

[@jeremyreagan9085]

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!

[@darrylstone6217]

Reagan was the continuation of the transition of white bigots joining the republican party.

[@ozburnurass]

I miss Tiffany on the weekends...

[@undisputedtruth6176]

MSNBC got rid of her because viewers complained she was Tiffany Latino Cross.

[@chucksmash1]

​@@undisputedtruth6176MSNBC had unfair idiotic reasons for firing her but that certainly wasn't one of them.

[@willijl]

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

[@pade1365]

Keep going Michael!

[@THATBOISHAD]

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.

[@sandyandy4402]

Perfectly articulated

[@sylviabrown9519]

This is what rye was getting at. The crazies manipulated to their depraved interests.

[@kasdst86]

OMG!!! @Angela, our fathers must be brothers from another mother!!!! I do teleheath visits, my Dad will call and ask if I’m busy, I’ll say I am on with a pt and he just keeps talking. I remind him a few MINUTES later that I have a pt in hold. Oh ok he’ll say. Or he’ll bust in my home office will I’m on telehealth call and look at the video or just keep talking. 😂 I love it. My daddy is 85.

[@IndividualTalent]

You are a compliment to the truth and opinionated justice that the family brings

[@dharmony1378]

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.

[@shonclrke1045]

😂Angela can with the questions for Michael.

[@patricehill4123]

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

[@LordMerlic]

Very insightful, this was a great pod!

[@kerrywilliams2985]

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

[@bobbywilsonfunfaithfamilymusic]

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.

[@brendadaniels4303]

I believe in the new Michael Steele.

[@benniewoods9514]

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 .

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

[@algebraworks]

I like this

[@ECole-le7we]

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.

[@benniewoods9514]

Oh boy . If I didn't know any better I think whoever you are , you are in the mold of both of both these giants. ( A. Rye & T. Cross ) You have a future in this area . I read every word you said and it's spot on about Michael Steele. He dodged the regrets . Your points are those regrets he couldn't stomach. ❤ Find your lane, you sound like a bright mind who I would like to hear more from . Welcome Home ❤

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???

[@ernesthopkins3746]

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.

[@denisemoore9316]

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???

[@hartubmoses6645]

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 .

Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌

[@andrebeckles8239]

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

[@Paula36588]

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.

[@susanavilez9302]

Yes, I'm Native and thought that too.

[@siriuslyspeaking9720]

I hope they take this in mind - this lack of thought, in creating the title of this podcast. It says that they are not as in touch with what is going on around them, as they would have you believe. I raised the point of what was meant by this name, for their show immediately, as that is the question it created in my mind - that it was in someway connected to this movement among some Black people to claim native descent.. It is the same lack of forethought that was lacking. in selecting the generalized phrase Black lives matter, to address the specific and serious issue of the unjustified killing of Black people by law enforcement officers and racist. It was predictable, what the logical response to that would be, let alone how Conservatives would respond to it.

[@IsaacRichardsJr]

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