Episode Video Link:
In this searing episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, we dive into the dangerous consequences of xenophobic policymaking, starting with the National Weather Service's decision to stop issuing weather updates in languages other than English. Dr. Burton unpacks how this seemingly bureaucratic move is, in fact, a life-threatening act of exclusion that puts millions, particularly non-English speakers and communities of color, at greater risk during natural disasters and emergencies.
She connects the dots between political ideology and public safety, revealing how language can become a weapon when wielded by power systems. With a sharp critique and a call to action, Dr. Burton urges listeners to stay alert, informed, and proactive in defending the right to accessible information for all.
This episode is a wake-up call: when warnings don’t reach everyone, it’s not just policy, it’s violence.

Episode Video Link:
In this electrifying episode of Pull Up, Speak Up, hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed, joined by guests Malik Frederick, Robert Franklin II, and Michael Nevins, tackle some of today’s most contentious issues head-on.
The conversation kicks off with an intense discussion on U.S. foreign policy and the potential implications of an American takeover in Gaza, drawing historical parallels to past land acquisitions and geopolitical power plays.
The panel then unpacks Donald Trump's claims that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are at the root of America’s societal and infrastructure challenges—debating fact versus political rhetoric.
Finally, the episode tackles Elon Musk's aggressive approach to slimming down the government through DOGE, raising concerns about unchecked power, transparency, and the qualifications of Musk's young tech recruits, and what this could mean for democracy, financial oversight, and national policy moving forward.
