:with the award winning hyphenated Dr.

:Nsenga Burton.
4
:Dr.
5
:Burton, what do we need to know?
6
:Dr. Nsenga Burton: Good afternoon
and welcome to need to know with Dr.
7
:Nsenga Burton.
8
:I am Dr.
9
:Nsenga Burton.
10
:It's good to see you today.
11
:Today I want to talk about some of
the fallout from the election, the U.
12
:S.
13
:presidential election.
14
:One of which is, um, this Narrative
that is floating and becoming
15
:a dominant narrative, which
means it's pervasive, right?
16
:It's, it's becoming 1 of the
narratives that you're hearing
17
:not only all over media, but also
regurgitated or regurgitated by people
18
:out in the community in the world.
19
:And this, this narrative that
the Democrats lost because of
20
:messaging, I just wanted to say,
as someone who is a communications
21
:expert, you really don't need.
22
:Messaging, um, to go against someone
like our, you know, president elect.
23
:Right?
24
:And so I'm not saying you don't need
messaging, but this messaging like this
25
:idea that was somehow Democrats should be
working over time to siphon off, you know,
26
:you know, you know, people who are kind of
white supremacy light is preposterous is
27
:preposterous and the idea that, you know,
Um, there was some messaging that needed
28
:to happen that didn't happen to reach
the people that needed to be reached.
29
:We have an insurrectionist,
which I call a treasonist.
30
:You know, people who are part of
some insurrections are typically
31
:called treasonous, right?
32
:But we have an insurrectionist,
a convicted felon, a
33
:convicted rapist, right?
34
:Sexual abatter or abuser.
35
:Someone who does not pay his debts, right?
36
:Someone who Uh, rebels against, uh,
just policies, you know, whether it's
37
:keeping documents that you're not
supposed to have, you know, whether
38
:it's, you know, disclosing taxes,
whether it's disclosing health issues
39
:or whatever, we have all of that.
40
:Um, we have someone who
is, uh, perverted, right?
41
:You know, was caught on camera
simulating a sexual act.
42
:Right, the day before the election,
we have someone who has been accused
43
:of battering and raping his 1st
wife, which she wrote in her book,
44
:her, her biography, autobiography.
45
:Um, and so I'm like, I don't really
understand what messaging, you know,
46
:someone who's xenophobic, someone who
wants to deport people who are not
47
:here, even though he's married to an
immigrant, someone who wants everybody
48
:to speak English, even though he's
married to an immigrant, who doesn't
49
:really speak English that well.
50
:Um, someone who is best friends with, in
cahoots with, whatever you want to say,
51
:has a strong relationship with, um, Putin
and North Korea, who are our sworn and
52
:mortal enemies, you know, for anybody
who's been in the service, you know, we
53
:just celebrate a Veterans Day, how anyone
who served, um, this country can vote
54
:for someone who called veterans losers,
uh, who defiled the name of John McCain.
55
:Uh, who, you know, I think, you know, he
was problematic, but a stand up guy for
56
:the most part, at least when it counted.
57
:Right?
58
:Um, and who also, you know, serve
his country, whether you like him
59
:or not, like, serve this country.
60
:Um, you know, I just don't understand
what messaging people are looking for.
61
:Like, what does it, what would it take
for you to look at all of those things,
62
:which are actually factual, right?
63
:They're factual.
64
:These are things that we know.
65
:And we have the first presidency,
which was terrible, which
66
:people seem to have forgotten.
67
:You were in like, in your
houses for 2 years, which was
68
:preventable over a 1M people died.
69
:The economy was in the
toilet when he left.
70
:You all keep talking about, you know,
oh, he, you know, he connected because
71
:he kept talking about the economy.
72
:Did you all forget 2016 to 2020
what the economy looked like?
73
:Did you forget about the joblessness?
74
:Did you forget about that?
75
:Um, you know, so I just wanted
to say today on need to know.
76
:Sometimes you need to know
what you already know.
77
:And that is the information that
you have in front of you so that
78
:you can make a good decision and
I'm not I've said this before.
79
:I'm not anti Republican.
80
:I've said that we need more parties
because we have actually outgrown the
81
:Republican and the Democratic Party.
82
:I believe that 3rd party, I think
is essential is necessary, but you
83
:have to take the time to build it
and you can't pretend that 1 exists
84
:when the stakes are this high.
85
:You just have to take
the time to build it.
86
:Um, and then.
87
:But this Republican, this person.
88
:So I need people to stop pretending
that we needed to do something
89
:different with messaging.
90
:And I'm talking about black women, women,
all these people who are working, um,
91
:uh, against this current, you know,
presidency, this potential presidency,
92
:um, and working in favor of Kamala Harris.
93
:And I've said this too, it
doesn't matter who she is.
94
:She could have been, uh, A piece of wood,
she could have been an inanimate object,
95
:um, how people wrap their brains around
voting for this, this particular person.
96
:I will never understand.
97
:I don't think there's any messaging
that could have gotten you to not do it.
98
:I mean, and then hearing
all this misinformation and
99
:disinformation post election.
100
:Oh, you know, I'm, I just think
he's going to do a better job
101
:with Israel and Palestine.
102
:Okay.
103
:Because he did a great job before.
104
:You remember that?
105
:Oh, you don't go back and
look at what happened before.
106
:Oh, oh, the Ukraine.
107
:Somebody even had the
audacity to say the Ukraine.
108
:I think he's going to solve that problem.
109
:I see.
110
:Yeah.
111
:Ukraine is going to be a
tourist destination because
112
:his buddy is over there.
113
:And North Korea soldiers got over there.
114
:4 weeks ago.
115
:If you read the news or watch the
news or read, um, for comprehension.
116
:Um, so you think they're just over there
chilling, just waiting to help Ukraine.
117
:Like, when okay, so, I mean, the things
that I have heard people say, oh, is
118
:the economy when he drove us into the
economy, I mean, to a recession and
119
:added so much to the federal deficit
more than any other president before him.
120
:All right, so, you know, all
of this stuff, I just have
121
:to say that there is nothing.
122
:There is no messaging that could have
stopped people who voted for him, knowing
123
:everything that they know about him.
124
:So just own it.
125
:Just say I'm a, I'm a, I'm a racist.
126
:I'm a say, I don't want
a woman to be president.
127
:I don't want a black
woman to be president.
128
:I don't like black people.
129
:Um, I, you know, I don't want women
to have rights over their bodies.
130
:Just, just say what it is, but
stop pretending like there was
131
:something else that could have
been said or done to stop you.
132
:Um, from voting Republican, you know,
we're going to have to live with this.
133
:All of us are going to
have to live with this.
134
:And, you know, just like the last
time when people were like, I mean,
135
:I didn't see this coming, you didn't
see the pandemic coming because
136
:the whole world saw the pandemic
coming, who, uh, World Health
137
:Organization saw the pandemic coming.
138
:The CDC saw the pandemic coming and
we didn't do anything about it because
139
:the president thought it was going to
be a bad public relations nightmare.
140
:So he was just gonna pretend
like it didn't happen.
141
:And you know, all of those things
that happened, um, subsequently.
142
:So yeah, sometimes you need
to know what you already know.
143
:You already have the information.
144
:You should have used it better.
145
:You should have thought
about it more critically.
146
:Now we are screwed.
147
:So I don't want to hear from anybody
what we could have done differently
148
:as it relates to messaging, period,
an insurrectionist, no place in the
149
:United States government, period,
no insurrectionists, that's it.
150
:And then you can add
all the other stuff on.
151
:All right, so miss us with that.
152
:So tune in next week to a black
executive perspective podcast.
153
:I'm Dr.
154
:Nsenga Burton, and I'll talk to you later.
155
:Bye.
156
:A black executive perspective.
