7

00:00:13
Dr. Nsenga Burton: Good afternoon
and welcome to Need to Know with Dr.
8
:
00:00:16
Nsenga Burton.
9
:
00:00:17
I am she.
10
:
00:00:18
I'm coming to you today to talk about
January 6th, which we really weren't
11
:
00:00:22
talking about enough to my satisfaction.
12
:
00:00:26
Uh, I am really, there's a meme
that's been going around online that
13
:
00:00:31
says I will never get over We'll
figure out how January 6th was not
14
:
00:00:35
a deal breaker, and I don't know who
originated that meme, but I would
15
:
00:00:39
like to co sign 10, 000 times on that.
16
:
00:00:42
Um, you know, it's just really sad when
you have such a major event unfold.
17
:
00:00:49
I mean, it really is a
treasonous act at best.
18
:
00:00:54
And at worst, I would say it's domestic
terrorism and, you know, the fact
19
:
00:00:59
that they can so easily, they'd be
in media police officers, people of
20
:
00:01:04
that nature leaders can so accurately
describe the attack on New Orleans as
21
:
00:01:10
a terrorist attack, but will not do
the same for something as heinous and
22
:
00:01:17
as harmful and as detrimental to our
country as a January 6 treasonous act.
23
:
00:01:24
Uh, is Just really unthinkable,
you know, so we, we kind of know
24
:
00:01:29
why these things happen, right?
25
:
00:01:30
Ideology, uh, this obsession with, uh,
white, whiteness and white supremacy, um,
26
:
00:01:37
this idea that, um, treasonous, um, in
our country, we're the only country to
27
:
00:01:43
actually let treasonous live, by the way.
28
:
00:01:46
So we're still dealing with, you
know, the remnants of treasonous,
29
:
00:01:49
treasonous from the civil war,
um, who, um, you know, really.
30
:
00:01:56
If we were in a different country
would have been taken out.
31
:
00:01:59
Right?
32
:
00:01:59
Um, but when you let that poison get
into that tree and go down into the
33
:
00:02:03
roots, it's hard to get rid of it.
34
:
00:02:07
And so we're still dealing with all
of that now, as someone who lives in
35
:
00:02:09
Georgia, the state of Georgia, I mean,
it's literally every day when it's
36
:
00:02:13
the confederate flag, whether it is
someone talking nonsensically about
37
:
00:02:19
the civil war, because they really
just rewritten the history of it.
38
:
00:02:22
Um, you know.
39
:
00:02:24
All of that matters, and all
of that is tied to whether
40
:
00:02:27
we want to admit it or not.
41
:
00:02:29
Uh, the January 6th, uh, attempted
overthrow of the government.
42
:
00:02:33
I would say it was, it was an overthrow
of the government because, you know,
43
:
00:02:37
people were running for their lives.
44
:
00:02:39
Our vice president, they were
threatening to hang our vice president.
45
:
00:02:43
Um, they did all of these things.
46
:
00:02:46
They killed police officers.
47
:
00:02:48
You know, and this is, and this
is why it's just not, it doesn't.
48
:
00:02:53
It's just like you're killing police
officers, you're threatening the lives of
49
:
00:02:58
Congress people, including your own people
in your party that you claim to support,
50
:
00:03:02
um, you're overthrowing, uh, or trying to
overthrow and not certify the election.
51
:
00:03:07
Uh, I mean, all of these
things are happening and it's
52
:
00:03:11
somehow, you know, an event.
53
:
00:03:14
You know, you let all these
people go home, like, literally
54
:
00:03:17
somewhere home in time for dinner.
55
:
00:03:20
Um, and then you have to spend years
finding them and bringing them to justice
56
:
00:03:25
so that they can be pardoned by, uh, 47.
57
:
00:03:29
So, you know, I, I just
think when, when people.
58
:
00:03:36
Want people to be accountable.
59
:
00:03:38
It's real hard to do that when we
live in a system and a world where
60
:
00:03:41
accountability doesn't matter,
particularly for our highest leaders.
61
:
00:03:44
You know, whether we're talking about 47,
who's trying not to be sentenced, even
62
:
00:03:48
though he's not going to have to serve
any time for all these crimes he committed
63
:
00:03:51
while the prisons are filled with people
who were serving time, doing the same
64
:
00:03:54
crimes that they committed, you know,
you, there's this double standard, right?
65
:
00:03:59
And then you want Joe Biden to put
his son in jail when our 47 is gone.
66
:
00:04:03
Escape jail, um, just to prove
something to Democrats, um, you
67
:
00:04:08
know, to prove that we're the better
people, uh, which makes no sense at
68
:
00:04:11
all, you know, regardless of party.
69
:
00:04:14
I don't think I know.
70
:
00:04:15
I don't know anybody who's going
to call up the police and be like,
71
:
00:04:17
take my, my kid and put him in jail.
72
:
00:04:18
I don't know those people.
73
:
00:04:20
Maybe, you know, I
don't know those people.
74
:
00:04:22
So again, are an unwillingness
to live in the real world, right?
75
:
00:04:27
This unwillingness to face what's in
front of us, this unwillingness to
76
:
00:04:31
address what is actually happening,
happening and has happened.
77
:
00:04:34
And this is how we get to 47.
78
:
00:04:36
Right.
79
:
00:04:37
So, um, I just wanted to say today,
um, I need to know, uh, we need to
80
:
00:04:43
know that our standards are gone.
81
:
00:04:46
Um, we have a sexual abuser coming
into the White House for a 2nd time.
82
:
00:04:53
We had all the data about this person.
83
:
00:04:55
Um, from our horrendous experience
from:
2016
84
:
00:05:02
death of over a million people,
uh, that was preventable, uh, which
85
:
00:05:06
we're not talking about that either.
86
:
00:05:09
I don't know.
87
:
00:05:09
We're talking about, uh, Israel and
Palestine, but we're not talking
88
:
00:05:12
about what's happening here.
89
:
00:05:14
I don't know why we can do both.
90
:
00:05:16
Truly.
91
:
00:05:17
So, um, I just will not understand how
January 6th was not a deal breaker.
92
:
00:05:25
And I will not understand
how this country continues to
93
:
00:05:31
literally be its own worst enemy.
94
:
00:05:34
Uh, by not holding those who are
in power accountable, um, and not
95
:
00:05:38
only doing that, but elevating them.
96
:
00:05:40
Um, I, I just won't, I
won't understand that.
97
:
00:05:45
So, you need to know if you want to
hold people accountable, you actually
98
:
00:05:49
have to represent it yourself.
99
:
00:05:51
When you don't represent it yourself,
don't be surprised when all sorts of
100
:
00:05:55
tomfoolery unfolds, which is absolutely
going to happen, uh, over the next
101
:
00:06:00
four years and many more to come.
102
:
00:06:02
All right.
103
:
00:06:03
So this is Need to Know with Dr.
104

00:06:04
Nsenga Burton.
