A Black Executive Perspective.
2
:Now presents need to know with
the award-winning hyphenated Dr.
3
:Nsenga Burton, Dr.
4
:Burton.
5
:What do we need to know?
6
:Dr. Nsenga Burton:
7
:Good afternoon and welcome
to Need To Know with Dr.
8
:Nsenga Burton.
9
:I am she.
10
:And today I'm going to talk to you
about something I talked about a little
11
:bit before, but about the deportations
that have been happening and the
12
:illegal deportations that have been
happening and the fact that our three
13
:systems of government are failing.
14
:Um, so, you know, I guess if you haven't
been paying attention or maybe you've
15
:just been trying to stay out of the
chaos that is ongoing and consistent
16
:with this, uh, current president, uh,
there have been a number of deportations
17
:that, uh, his administration has.
18
:Um, allowed, agreed to initiate it.
19
:All the things of so-called
criminals that they wanna get out
20
:of the country, um, without having
given them any type of hearing.
21
:Um, done any type of investigation,
none of the things, just like, okay,
22
:these Venezuelans, you gotta go, this
Lebanese professor, they gotta go.
23
:Uh, 'cause they said something
I didn't like about me.
24
:I, I don't care that they work at
Yale where all of the justices went.
25
:Not all of them, but many, uh,
the Supreme Court justices went.
26
:Um, but they gotta go.
27
:And even though a court, uh, judge
is saying, Hey, you cannot invoke
28
:this wartime law to do this,
what is now illegal activity?
29
:We are not in war even.
30
:Are we at war yet?
31
:We probably will be based on
his crazy actions, but not yet.
32
:So the judge is like, you gotta
come back before they're leaving.
33
:It is like, you can't leave, the plane
can't leave, then they leave anyway.
34
:Then it's like, okay,
turn the planes around.
35
:They don't turn the planes around and
they just keep going and dropping 'em off.
36
:And even, uh, where they're dropping
them off, um, you know, the countries are
37
:sending them, um, social media messages,
like thanks, which means they're probably
38
:gonna have some negative consequences
when they get to wherever they're going.
39
:Um, and you know.
40
:I'm not here to judge what
they've done or not done.
41
:I haven't seen any evidence or read
any evidence that they're criminals.
42
:I mean, they're just saying
that that's what they are.
43
:Um, so you know, what happens
happens in that way, but how
44
:it happened is a problem.
45
:And that's what we have to talk about.
46
:Um, so many people I think are focused
on, oh, these are gang, gang people.
47
:And I'm like, but are they really?
48
:That's what they're saying,
but where's the evidence?
49
:We don't have any evidence of that.
50
:Now they're giving us this
wartime, you know, law.
51
:They pulled that up and printed that.
52
:Like, we have the right to do this.
53
:Just like the guns, you know,
with the Second Amendment.
54
:And it's like.
55
:Yeah, we have a national guard.
56
:We've got veterans, we've got four
branches of, of, um, protection.
57
:We don't really need that anymore.
58
:You know, we don't need militias
anymore, but hey, if you keep, people
59
:wanna keep, you know, stocking up your
militias for when we go to war again.
60
:Um, I guess you can 'cause
it's, it's your right.
61
:But you know, this 18th, um, 18
hundreds, uh, I think, I can't remember
62
:the year, I think it's 1867, um,
where they had this wartime, um, law
63
:that allows him to deport people.
64
:It is crazy.
65
:And the fact that that was invoked
in order to do something illegal and
66
:then to not only do it willfully,
but then to ignore the courts is
67
:crazy, especially since he appointed
so many people to the courts.
68
:So.
69
:His test of loyalty is, if
you will let me break the law.
70
:'cause he is a convicted felon.
71
:I wanna remind people of that.
72
:People are like, can you believe,
yeah, you gave the criminal,
73
:the keys to the United States.
74
:Yes you did a convicted,
a convicted felon.
75
:You gave them the keys to the
United States, but then you're
76
:trying to act like you're surprised
that he's breaking the law or he's
77
:not listening to judges, right?
78
:When there hasn't been any
consequence, none to any of the
79
:things that he was found guilty
of and he hasn't paid a nickel.
80
:On it, on, you know, all the
restitution that he has to pay as well.
81
:But you are feigning surprise.
82
:So again, I want to say when people
show you who they are, 'cause I said
83
:this is the last segment, believe them.
84
:But what I wanna also say is, please stop.
85
:Can we come into the current,
in the present, um, situation.
86
:Currently right now, people keep
talking about the past, people
87
:keep talking about the future.
88
:Can we talk about, right now we have
a president who is out of his mind.
89
:When he made that, uh, when he went
to that press conference, uh, with
90
:his attorney General, and he turned
around, and I don't know if you caught
91
:it, but he turned around and looked
up and waved at a picture of himself.
92
:There is something wrong with that dude.
93
:Right?
94
:So we already know that he's, there's
something wrong with him Now, Joe
95
:Biden was too old for you all.
96
:Right.
97
:You even pulled him outta retirement.
98
:Messed up his probably the best
years that he could have had.
99
:'cause he had to come save us
after 45 had destroyed the country.
100
:Right.
101
:Um, and I know some of y'all don't
think he saved us, but you had
102
:jobs when he was in, in office.
103
:Now you don't So I'm just gonna say, you
know, you had a, a retirement that you
104
:could count on when he was in office.
105
:Now you don't, you don't even know if your
social security's gonna be here tomorrow.
106
:Um, but anyway, I digress.
107
:Um, veterans had, uh, uh, rights and
they had benefits, uh, 'cause there
108
:was a veteran who was the president.
109
:That's all I'm gonna say.
110
:Um, but the point is that we have
someone who is off the rails and
111
:there is such a thing as the 25th
Amendment that can be invoked when you
112
:have someone who is off the rails in
office and who is not able to be, um.
113
:Uh, reigned in, I think that's a
better word, reigned in, he's not able
114
:to be reigned in even with the three
executive branches of government.
115
:The other two, um, I say executive
branches, the three branches of
116
:government, the other two branches
of government, um, is what I meant.
117
:And so when you have someone
who's off the rails, who's doing
118
:things that are, are illegal.
119
:As president of the United States
and you know, I have a healthy, um.
120
:I have a, I have a healthy
mistrust of government.
121
:Let me just say that.
122
:Uh, so I'm not saying that the,
the United States government
123
:hasn't ever done anything illegal.
124
:I'm not saying that what I am saying in
this particular case, it is the president.
125
:And he is doing things that are illegal
and the courts are like, I think trying to
126
:help him like, listen, you can't do that.
127
:Just come on back.
128
:But he is so defiant and fixated
on what he wants to do and
129
:what his followers want to do.
130
:'cause they're not
voters, they're followers.
131
:It's a cult.
132
:I believe that.
133
:Yeah.
134
:I believe it's a cult.
135
:It's cult-like behavior.
136
:Because even if you did vote for him, if
you see what he's doing now and you are,
137
:and you are an American, and you believe
in the country, you believe in patriotism,
138
:you believe in due process, you believe
in, um, innocent until proven guilty.
139
:You believe in those, uh, beliefs,
values, laws that we have in place,
140
:then there's no way that you can, um.
141
:Go along with what he's doing.
142
:So to wrap this up, I'll just say what you
need to know is that 47 is off the rails.
143
:He is not able to be handled
or reigned in by anyone.
144
:He is surrounded by yes people, thus,
and so he is now not even listening to
145
:the courts and doing whatever he wants.
146
:So if he's doing that with, in
this instance, believe you and me,
147
:he's gonna be doing it in other.
148
:Instances, they're gonna have
far, far, uh, more reaching and
149
:far more horrible consequences.
150
:So, uh, what you need to know is that
there's a 25th amendment and you need
151
:to be contacting your Congress people.
152
:Uh, and I've said it before,
it's not that he's a Republican,
153
:it's the type of person he is.
154
:Um.
155
:We can't all be in the same party.
156
:We can't have, uh, we're
not a socialist country.
157
:We don't have like 15 different
parties, political parties.
158
:We got a two party system right now
that could change and it probably will
159
:change following these last couple
of presidencies, few presidencies.
160
:Um, but right now we got a two
party system and we also do have
161
:a constitution and we do have a
25th amendment, and that can be
162
:evoked to remove a president who is.
163
:Out of line and out of control.
164
:So I encourage you to contact your
Congress people and ask them no demand
165
:that they do something about this
ridiculously, uh, abusive, abusive
166
:power, uh, and heinous behavior,
uh, that we're seeing from 47.
167
:That's it.
168
:I wish you a great day.
169
:Please tune in next week
for a need to know with Dr.
170
:Nsenga Burton and definitely tune into
the award-winning A Black Executive

stand up for yourselves.
174
:Call your Congress people.

:Alright, bye.
