00:00:04
Now presents need to know with
the award-winning hyphenated Dr.
3
:
00:00:08
Nsenga Burton, Dr.
4
:
00:00:09
Burton.
5
:
00:00:10
What do we need to know?
6
:
00:00:13
Dr. Nsenga Burton:
7
:
00:00:13
Good morning and welcome
to Need To Know with Dr.
8
:
00:00:16
Nsenga Burton.
9
:
00:00:16
I am she.
10
:
00:00:17
Today I'm going to talk to you about the
people who have, I don't know if it's fear
11
:
00:00:22
of, uh, misNsenga out buyer's, remorse.
12
:
00:00:25
Uh, there are lots of terms that
kinda can describe this behavior
13
:
00:00:29
that's been very interesting.
14
:
00:00:30
But these are people who voted for
47 and now are like, oh my God, I
15
:
00:00:34
can't believe this is happening to me.
16
:
00:00:37
So, you know.
17
:
00:00:38
I think they call us.
18
:
00:00:39
Um, people who did not vote
for 47 snowflakes we're weak.
19
:
00:00:45
We just, you know, we
think we know everything.
20
:
00:00:48
Um, we're, you know, we do
everything about intellect, you
21
:
00:00:51
know, all that kind of stuff.
22
:
00:00:53
And I just wanna say that for those of us
who read for comprehension and Red Project
23
:
00:00:57
2025, in addition to paying attention
to 40 seven's first term when he was 45.
24
:
00:01:03
Uh, clearly made the right decision
because so many of, uh, the people
25
:
00:01:07
who have voted for 47 are now online
talking about they've lost their jobs.
26
:
00:01:14
They didn't know they
were coming for my job.
27
:
00:01:16
They've lost their partners.
28
:
00:01:17
Their partners have now been deported.
29
:
00:01:19
Uh, in some cases it
seems like it's illegal.
30
:
00:01:22
Uh, the courts have ordered in
many cases for people to be, um.
31
:
00:01:27
That the president could not use this
wartime, um, law to deport people
32
:
00:01:32
without hearings and all of the things.
33
:
00:01:35
And your, your president, uh,
is ignoring the courts, right?
34
:
00:01:40
We have three branches of government.
35
:
00:01:42
Executive, legislative and judicial.
36
:
00:01:45
Judicial is supposed to
really be the guardrails.
37
:
00:01:48
That's supposed to be the ones when
the executive branch messes up.
38
:
00:01:51
When the legislative, legislative
branch mees messes up the exec, uh,
39
:
00:01:55
the judicial branch is supposed to
come in and really interpret the law
40
:
00:02:00
and tell you what needs to happen.
41
:
00:02:02
So we now have a president who was not.
42
:
00:02:04
Following the law even when he is
told before the planes take off,
43
:
00:02:09
uh, when they are mid-air, turn
around and bring the flights back.
44
:
00:02:13
Don't, don't take off.
45
:
00:02:14
He's doing what he wants to do.
46
:
00:02:15
I say all of this to say
that people are actually
47
:
00:02:25
waiting for someone who has
a history of being a liar.
48
:
00:02:32
Right.
49
:
00:02:33
I mean, they can count his lies.
50
:
00:02:34
That's how much he lies.
51
:
00:02:36
Who has reneged on so much stuff
with other people, contractors who's
52
:
00:02:43
been sued hundreds of times for
failure to pay or to keep his word.
53
:
00:02:47
You know, when you fail to pay someone
for services that were rendered, that
54
:
00:02:50
is called not keeping your word right?
55
:
00:02:52
There's a lack of integrity.
56
:
00:02:55
This is someone who in our,
in, in their first term.
57
:
00:02:59
Did the same thing.
58
:
00:03:01
Did the same thing, but for some
reason you thought because you were
59
:
00:03:06
white, that you were going to be safe.
60
:
00:03:10
This is a person who does not care
about you and has shown that they don't
61
:
00:03:16
care about anybody else other than
themselves, not even their children.
62
:
00:03:19
That they're, they'll throw their own
children under the bus to survive.
63
:
00:03:24
Okay, so this whole idea, like,
I didn't think it would happen
64
:
00:03:27
to me, but you were okay with it.
65
:
00:03:29
Happening to other people means that
you actually have a lack of integrity.
66
:
00:03:35
So instead of looking for empathy
or sympathy, or, my gosh, please
67
:
00:03:39
help me, you know, I didn't know
he was gonna gut veteran affairs.
68
:
00:03:42
Why didn't you know that?
69
:
00:03:44
I mean, it's, he said it.
70
:
00:03:47
He brought in a veteran as his
vice president so that it can
71
:
00:03:50
look like he's pro veteran.
72
:
00:03:53
While you wouldn't notice him gutting
Veteran Affairs and getting rid of
73
:
00:03:56
all of your benefits, including Social
security, which they claim you haven't
74
:
00:04:00
earned, including the veteran sitting
next to him as the vice president
75
:
00:04:09
saying You don't need them.
76
:
00:04:10
You didn't earn them.
77
:
00:04:12
Okay, so I just wanted to say today,
sometimes you need to know all of the
78
:
00:04:18
information you have in front of you.
79
:
00:04:20
All of the information you have in front
of you and you should stop trying to make.
80
:
00:04:24
And this goes for anything.
81
:
00:04:25
It's not just this 47.
82
:
00:04:27
It goes for relationships.
83
:
00:04:28
When someone is showing you
who they are, believe them.
84
:
00:04:31
I know the great Maya Angelou said
that, but it is true when someone has
85
:
00:04:36
shown you who they are, believe them.
86
:
00:04:38
There was nothing that 45 did, uh, 47
did in his in when he was 45 in his first
87
:
00:04:45
presidency that he is not doing now.
88
:
00:04:48
The only thing is, is that because
he had been president before, now
89
:
00:04:52
he has a shorter runway, which means
he's just hitting the ground running
90
:
00:04:56
because he knows how things work and
how to get around them now, so he
91
:
00:05:00
doesn't plan to pay you your benefits.
92
:
00:05:03
This man, this is a man who
doesn't pay contractors.
93
:
00:05:06
He's not paying you your benefits.
94
:
00:05:08
He don't even know why you have benefits.
95
:
00:05:09
He doesn't think you should
have Social security.
96
:
00:05:12
We should be able to
take care of ourselves.
97
:
00:05:13
They needed that during the depression.
98
:
00:05:14
People don't need that now.
99
:
00:05:15
The government needs that money
as if it's not our money, as if we
100
:
00:05:19
haven't been paying into it through
our hard work all these years.
101
:
00:05:24
All right.
102
:
00:05:25
So sometimes all you need to know
is what's in front of you and you
103
:
00:05:29
had the information and you made a
miscalculation because you didn't
104
:
00:05:32
care about other people, right?
105
:
00:05:34
You don't care if he's deporting,
uh, immigrants that you don't like.
106
:
00:05:38
Even in the Latinx community, you know,
you may be Cuban, but you don't care
107
:
00:05:42
that the deporting Venezuelans, right?
108
:
00:05:45
And now they're coming from
Cubans, and you're like, but
109
:
00:05:47
wait, we got Rubio in the house.
110
:
00:05:49
He rubio's our person.
111
:
00:05:50
Rubio can't stop Trump.
112
:
00:05:53
And if he can, he's not because he,
after the power he, he has the power.
113
:
00:05:56
Now he's in the circle.
114
:
00:05:58
And even though his face shows
like, oh my God, what have I done?
115
:
00:06:02
Every time there's a press conference,
he's not gonna go against it
116
:
00:06:05
because he'd have to admit that
he made a bad decision repeatedly.
117
:
00:06:09
So you have made a bad decision repeatedly
and you are now suffering for it.
118
:
00:06:14
And even though I do typically have
empathy, I have to say, I'm sorry.
119
:
00:06:18
Yeah, I'm sorry That your spouse is gone.
120
:
00:06:20
That is deported.
121
:
00:06:21
I'm sorry that you all had jobs, you
know, three months ago and now you
122
:
00:06:25
don't have jobs and now you're competing
with, uh, literally tens of thousands
123
:
00:06:29
of people in a sluggish job market.
124
:
00:06:32
I'm sorry.
125
:
00:06:33
We're heading into a recession and
everybody's gonna be cash poor.
126
:
00:06:38
They don't have jobs, right?
127
:
00:06:41
So you're gonna have to live off your
credit cards if you have them, and
128
:
00:06:43
you're gonna pay ridiculous rates because
we're going into, uh, a recession.
129
:
00:06:48
I'm sorry that you didn't understand that
the economy was terrible under this person
130
:
00:06:52
before, so it's gonna be terrible again.
131
:
00:06:56
So this is what happens when you
don't pay attention to what's in
132
:
00:06:58
front of you, when you don't look at
what people have shown you before.
133
:
00:07:01
So I just want you all to understand when
people show you who they are, business,
134
:
00:07:06
politics, relationships, friendships,
believe them, and then don't cry about
135
:
00:07:13
it when 10 million people told you,
listen, we're trying to tell you.
136
:
00:07:18
We read the documents as, as Tom
Cruise says, I read the papers, Matt.
137
:
00:07:23
We read the documents,
we saw what happened.
138
:
00:07:27
We've read the analyses.
139
:
00:07:29
We lived it.
140
:
00:07:30
Don't do it, and you do it anyway.
141
:
00:07:35
Then you need to know
that we don't give a damn.
142
:
00:07:38
All right, so.
143
:
00:07:40
