    If Obama Did This, America Would Explode

    Episode Title: Episode Audio Link: https://podcast.ablackexec.com/episode/if-obama-did-this-america-would-explode Episode Video Link: In this episode of Need to Know, we confront the glaring double standards shaping America’s political reality. The recent demolition of part of the East Wing of the White House has sparked outrage—and silence—in equal measure, revealing the unevenness of the rules of accountability. Imagine if former President Obama had made the same move. The backlash would’ve been immediate and explosive. Yet today, similar actions are brushed aside, exposing how power and privilege distort our perception of leadership, patriotism, and democracy itself. This episode delves into the misuse of authority, the normalization of chaos, and the gradual erosion of democratic values. It’s a wake-up call to recognize the irrationality of our political moment—and to remember that silence and inaction are not neutral. The message is clear: protecting democracy requires participation. It’s time to think strategically, act collectively, and use the most powerful tool we have—our vote. ▶︎ In This Episode 00:00: Introduction and Welcome 00:21: Double Standards in Politics 01:01: Historical Context and Current Events 01:40: Power and Identity 02:09: Political Corruption and Consequences 07:10: Call to Action 09:54 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview 🔗 Resources Links and resources mentioned in this episode: 🔔 Listen and Subscribe Listen to this episode and subscribe for future updates subscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit" if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive change subscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague 🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubea...

    Nobel Peace Prize — Earned or Bought?

    Episode Title: Episode Audio Link: https://podcast.ablackexec.com/episode/Nobel-peace-prize-earned-or-bought- Episode Video Link: In this episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, Dr. Burton takes a hard look at the difference between earning recognition and exploiting it, using the current President’s rumored pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize as a wake-up call. She breaks down the misconceptions surrounding the Israel–Hamas conflict, clarifying that it’s a war between Israel and Hamas, not Israel and Palestine — and explains why that distinction matters in global conversations about peace and accountability. Dr. Burton also questions the morality of pausing peace efforts for personal gain, challenging both leaders and citizens to demand higher ethical standards. With her signature insight and urgency, she reminds us that true leadership is earned — not awarded. ▶︎ In This Episode 00:00: Introduction and Welcome 00:24: Earning Your Keep: A Presidential Example 01:21: Misconceptions About Israel and Palestine 02:50: The Nobel Peace Prize Controversy 05:28: The Importance of Standards and Morals 08:56 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview 🔗 Resources Links and resources mentioned in this episode: 🔔 Listen and Subscribe Listen to this episode and subscribe for future updates subscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit" if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive change subscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague 🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwittera href="https://TikTok.com/@ablackexec" rel="noopener...

The conversation dives into her journey defending death penalty cases, confronting the dehumanizing realities of the criminal legal system, and the urgent need to replace punishment with empathy, accountability, and reform.
