Dr.

6

: 00:00:09

Burton.

7

: 00:00:10

What do we need to know?

8

: 00:00:13

Good afternoon Welcome

to need to know with dr.

9

: 00:00:16

Nissinga Burton.

10

: 00:00:17

I am she and today I am going to

be talking about that fiasco that

11

: 00:00:23

horrible horrible Presentation by 47.

12

: 00:00:27

I think I'm just gonna start calling

him the Manchurian candidate because

13

: 00:00:30

based on what happened at that press

conference press conference in quotes

14

: 00:00:35

It was really a, like, really mild WWE

match, uh, in the Oval Office or wherever

15

: 00:00:40

they were, but, um, I don't know if

you saw the press conference with, uh,

16

: 00:00:48

Ukrainian President Zelensky, but it was

a travesty, you know, um, there's such

17

: 00:00:56

a thing as decorum and professionalism

and we already knew from 45, right?

18

: 00:01:00

When he was 45, 2016, that, uh, The

Manchurian candidate has none of that.

19

: 00:01:07

He has none of it.

20

: 00:01:08

And the fact that he has not done anything

or and his handlers, no one around him has

21

: 00:01:13

been able to get him to maybe take a class

or to have a little bit of training or to

22

: 00:01:18

think about diplomacy and his relationship

to foreign affairs is mind boggling to me.

23

: 00:01:25

The fact that he's still

behaving badly and even worse.

24

: 00:01:28

I mean, he badgered demeaned.

25

: 00:01:37

He physically put his hands

on President Zelensky.

26

: 00:01:43

He lied on him, lied to him,

27

: 00:01:49

anything, any of the S.

28

: 00:01:51

A.

29

: 00:01:51

T.

30

: 00:01:51

words that start with D.

31

: 00:01:52

E.

32

: 00:01:52

or B.

33

: 00:01:53

E.

34

: 00:01:54

is what happened in that

particular press conference.

35

: 00:01:56

It was embarrassing for our

nation and I usually don't suffer

36

: 00:02:00

a secondhand embarrassment.

37

: 00:02:01

I'm very clear on people being doing

embarrassing things and it really

38

: 00:02:05

reflecting who they are and not

who I am, but I had some secondhand

39

: 00:02:09

embarrassment because I guess

I'd forgotten about how uncouth.

40

: 00:02:14

Unpolished, mean spirited, verbally

abusive, and unprofessional, this

41

: 00:02:21

current president is, and remains to be.

42

: 00:02:24

And their people actually celebrate him.

43

: 00:02:26

You know, the Ukraine needed to be

told, you know, we don't have a,

44

: 00:02:29

uh, an empty bank account for them.

45

: 00:02:32

I'm like, you can tell talk about

difficult subjects in a respectable way.

46

: 00:02:38

You can be respectful to guests.

47

: 00:02:40

One of the worst things my mother told

me, always told me, one of the worst

48

: 00:02:43

things you can ever do is invite someone

into your house and mistreat them.

49

: 00:02:48

That's one of the worst, lowest things

you can do, followed by being invited to

50

: 00:02:53

someone's house and then coming out of

that house and talking badly about them.

51

: 00:02:57

Right.

52

: 00:02:58

So again, decorum and our current

president lacks decorum, but also what

53

: 00:03:03

came out of that press conference and why

I'm calling him the Manchurian candidate.

54

: 00:03:09

And if you've seen the movie, um, either

the original or the remake, you know

55

: 00:03:13

what I'm talking about, but this is a,

it's, it's about a, uh, a president,

56

: 00:03:18

um, who has been compromised by the

Russian government, by the Soviets.

57

: 00:03:21

Um, and the fact that in this,

Press Conference 47 managed to align

58

: 00:03:29

us with North Korea and Russia.

59

: 00:03:32

He talked down and talked poorly,

talked badly about, maligned

60

: 00:03:38

our former presidents, U.

61

: 00:03:40

S.

62

: 00:03:40

presidents, while he uplifted

Soviet President Putin.

63

: 00:03:47

He did away with decades.

64

: 00:03:52

Of foreign policy

65

: 00:03:55

with his words.

66

: 00:03:58

He basically said that Putin is his

man I'm saying that in vernacular

67

: 00:04:05

They're not together together.

68

: 00:04:06

I don't think I don't know but They

together together in politics, right?

69

: 00:04:12

but that his alliance is with Putin

and that Even though the ukraine

70

: 00:04:18

is our ally and is the ally of all

of our other allies historically.

71

: 00:04:24

He is now Juxtaposed himself

and reposition the U.

72

: 00:04:28

S.

73

: 00:04:29

Against our current allies, then

he had the audacity to pause.

74

: 00:04:34

The funding to the Ukraine, when Zelensky

said, and you can see this on C SPAN

75

: 00:04:38

because all they keep playing is like,

the WWE portion of the press conference,

76

: 00:04:43

but C SPAN is showing it unedited.

77

: 00:04:45

Um, but when Zelensky said, stopping

aid from the Ukraine, basically,

78

: 00:04:53

um, we'll put them in peril.

79

: 00:04:56

And make them, um, weaker, uh, and

increase the possibility of Russian

80

: 00:05:02

taking, of Russia taking the Ukraine.

81

: 00:05:06

Now, the Russia said, and I know

we don't call them Russia anymore,

82

: 00:05:09

but that's why I call them, I'm

52, I'm calling them Russia.

83

: 00:05:13

The Soviet Union, the former Soviet

Union, has said that they were going

84

: 00:05:19

to take the Ukraine in three days.

85

: 00:05:21

And it has been three years.

86

: 00:05:23

So those are some fighters and they

have made good use of whatever funding

87

: 00:05:28

they have received from the allies.

88

: 00:05:30

If you need an indicator

or measurable outcome.

89

: 00:05:34

All right.

90

: 00:05:35

So this idea that somehow the Ukraine

is, you know, bankrupt in the U.

91

: 00:05:40

S.

92

: 00:05:41

it is not not even possible remotely the

idea that the Ukraine started the war.

93

: 00:05:46

It did not not even remotely and

thus and so they need to be thankful

94

: 00:05:51

to the United States for keeping

Putin off their ass, which actually.

95

: 00:05:56

Has been happening, but under

Biden under the Biden Harris

96

: 00:05:59

administration, not under this 1.

97

: 00:06:03

I was like, are we 60 days in February?

98

: 00:06:05

19 March?

99

: 00:06:06

19 would be 60.

100

: 00:06:07

we're not even 60 days in and our

current president has managed to

101

: 00:06:12

put us in a very weak weekend.

102

: 00:06:16

Invulnerable position, because he is

clearly been compromised in my mind,

103

: 00:06:22

you know, this is just me watching.

104

: 00:06:24

I don't have any intelligence data.

105

: 00:06:26

I'm not Elon Musk.

106

: 00:06:27

I don't have access to all the

records, all the records, um,

107

: 00:06:33

but if I had to put money on it.

108

: 00:06:36

I would say this candidate is compromised

because there's no, you know, aside from

109

: 00:06:39

the unprofessionalism, aside from the

lack of decorum that we know and expect,

110

: 00:06:43

there's no reason for him, you know,

surrounded by his cronies, including

111

: 00:06:48

JD Vance, learn how to sit on a sofa.

112

: 00:06:50

Why are you there?

113

: 00:06:51

Anyway, like, you're not even supposed

to be there, but if you're going to be

114

: 00:06:53

there, learn how to sit appropriately.

115

: 00:06:55

Can you please sit up?

116

: 00:06:57

Um, and and be quiet.

117

: 00:07:00

Do look at Rubio.

118

: 00:07:02

I mean, you know, I'm not a fan of

Rubio, but at least you know how to

119

: 00:07:04

act, uh, in certain circumstances, my

goodness, take some notes, but I saw

120

: 00:07:11

how JD Vance and this is me being mean.

121

: 00:07:13

And I mean, it when he let his

mama and grandma come to the RC,

122

: 00:07:16

looking the way they did, I knew

that he didn't care about nothing.

123

: 00:07:21

He didn't care about nothing.

124

: 00:07:24

And that was on full display.

125

: 00:07:26

In this particular instance, so I'm

sorry, I had a mean girl moment.

126

: 00:07:30

I'm coming back.

127

: 00:07:31

The point is the quorum is important

when you lead nations, institutions,

128

: 00:07:36

corporations, nonprofits, or what have

you, you have to have the quorum, you have

129

: 00:07:41

to withhold sometimes how you're really

feeling inside, you know, you have to not

130

: 00:07:46

say everything that comes to your brain.

131

: 00:07:49

And you certainly have to not sell out

your country to a sworn enemy every

132

: 00:07:53

single time you get on a microphone.

133

: 00:07:56

So, you know, my mother's like, I'm

just waiting to get my Russian I.

134

: 00:07:59

D.

135

: 00:08:00

in the mail.

136

: 00:08:01

I said, me too.

137

: 00:08:02

Maybe they'll email it to us

since they have all our data.

138

: 00:08:06

Um, but, you know, the lack

of decorum is too much.

139

: 00:08:12

So please do not follow your president.

140

: 00:08:15

I mean, do not follow what he's doing.

141

: 00:08:19

Um, remember your manners, remember

your training and remember your

142

: 00:08:23

professionalism, particularly when you

are leading a major entity and whatever

143

: 00:08:28

you do, never sell out your people.

144

: 00:08:31

Never talk down on your people

in order to celebrate the ops.

145

: 00:08:37

That's Nsenga Burton.
