A Black Executive Perspective. Now presents need to know with the award-winning hyphenated Dr. Nsenga Burton, Dr. Burton. What do we need to know?
Dr. Nsenga Burton:Good afternoon and welcome to Need To Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton. I am she. And today I'm going to talk to you about something I talked about a little bit before, but about the deportations that have been happening and the illegal deportations that have been happening and the fact that our three systems of government are failing. Um, so, you know, I guess if you haven't been paying attention or maybe you've just been trying to stay out of the chaos that is ongoing and consistent with this, uh, current president, uh, there have been a number of deportations that, uh, his administration has. Um, allowed, agreed to initiate it. All the things of so-called criminals that they wanna get out of the country, um, without having given them any type of hearing. Um, done any type of investigation, none of the things, just like, okay, these Venezuelans, you gotta go, this Lebanese professor, they gotta go. Uh, 'cause they said something I didn't like about me. I, I don't care that they work at Yale where all of the justices went. Not all of them, but many, uh, the Supreme Court justices went. Um, but they gotta go. And even though a court, uh, judge is saying, Hey, you cannot invoke this wartime law to do this, what is now illegal activity? We are not in war even. Are we at war yet? We probably will be based on his crazy actions, but not yet. So the judge is like, you gotta come back before they're leaving. It is like, you can't leave, the plane can't leave, then they leave anyway. Then it's like, okay, turn the planes around. They don't turn the planes around and they just keep going and dropping 'em off. And even, uh, where they're dropping them off, um, you know, the countries are sending them, um, social media messages, like thanks, which means they're probably gonna have some negative consequences when they get to wherever they're going. Um, and you know. I'm not here to judge what they've done or not done. I haven't seen any evidence or read any evidence that they're criminals. I mean, they're just saying that that's what they are. Um, so you know, what happens happens in that way, but how it happened is a problem. And that's what we have to talk about. Um, so many people I think are focused on, oh, these are gang, gang people. And I'm like, but are they really? That's what they're saying, but where's the evidence? We don't have any evidence of that. Now they're giving us this wartime, you know, law. They pulled that up and printed that. Like, we have the right to do this. Just like the guns, you know, with the Second Amendment. And it's like. Yeah, we have a national guard. We've got veterans, we've got four branches of, of, um, protection. We don't really need that anymore. You know, we don't need militias anymore, but hey, if you keep, people wanna keep, you know, stocking up your militias for when we go to war again. Um, I guess you can 'cause it's, it's your right. But you know, this 18th, um, 18 hundreds, uh, I think, I can't remember the year, I think it's 1867, um, where they had this wartime, um, law that allows him to deport people. It is crazy. And the fact that that was invoked in order to do something illegal and then to not only do it willfully, but then to ignore the courts is crazy, especially since he appointed so many people to the courts. So. His test of loyalty is, if you will let me break the law. 'cause he is a convicted felon. I wanna remind people of that. People are like, can you believe, yeah, you gave the criminal, the keys to the United States. Yes you did a convicted, a convicted felon. You gave them the keys to the United States, but then you're trying to act like you're surprised that he's breaking the law or he's not listening to judges, right? When there hasn't been any consequence, none to any of the things that he was found guilty of and he hasn't paid a nickel. On it, on, you know, all the restitution that he has to pay as well. But you are feigning surprise. So again, I want to say when people show you who they are, 'cause I said this is the last segment, believe them. But what I wanna also say is, please stop. Can we come into the current, in the present, um, situation. Currently right now, people keep talking about the past, people keep talking about the future. Can we talk about, right now we have a president who is out of his mind. When he made that, uh, when he went to that press conference, uh, with his attorney General, and he turned around, and I don't know if you caught it, but he turned around and looked up and waved at a picture of himself. There is something wrong with that dude. Right? So we already know that he's, there's something wrong with him Now, Joe Biden was too old for you all. Right. You even pulled him outta retirement. Messed up his probably the best years that he could have had. 'cause he had to come save us after 45 had destroyed the country. Right. Um, and I know some of y'all don't think he saved us, but you had jobs when he was in, in office. Now you don't So I'm just gonna say, you know, you had a, a retirement that you could count on when he was in office. Now you don't, you don't even know if your social security's gonna be here tomorrow. Um, but anyway, I digress. Um, veterans had, uh, uh, rights and they had benefits, uh, 'cause there was a veteran who was the president. That's all I'm gonna say. Um, but the point is that we have someone who is off the rails and there is such a thing as the 25th Amendment that can be invoked when you have someone who is off the rails in office and who is not able to be, um. Uh, reigned in, I think that's a better word, reigned in, he's not able to be reigned in even with the three executive branches of government. The other two, um, I say executive branches, the three branches of government, the other two branches of government, um, is what I meant. And so when you have someone who's off the rails, who's doing things that are, are illegal. As president of the United States and you know, I have a healthy, um. I have a, I have a healthy mistrust of government. Let me just say that. Uh, so I'm not saying that the, the United States government hasn't ever done anything illegal. I'm not saying that what I am saying in this particular case, it is the president. And he is doing things that are illegal and the courts are like, I think trying to help him like, listen, you can't do that. Just come on back. But he is so defiant and fixated on what he wants to do and what his followers want to do. 'cause they're not voters, they're followers. It's a cult. I believe that. Yeah. I believe it's a cult. It's cult-like behavior. Because even if you did vote for him, if you see what he's doing now and you are, and you are an American, and you believe in the country, you believe in patriotism, you believe in due process, you believe in, um, innocent until proven guilty. You believe in those, uh, beliefs, values, laws that we have in place, then there's no way that you can, um. Go along with what he's doing. So to wrap this up, I'll just say what you need to know is that 47 is off the rails. He is not able to be handled or reigned in by anyone. He is surrounded by yes people, thus, and so he is now not even listening to the courts and doing whatever he wants. So if he's doing that with, in this instance, believe you and me, he's gonna be doing it in other. Instances, they're gonna have far, far, uh, more reaching and far more horrible consequences. So, uh, what you need to know is that there's a 25th amendment and you need to be contacting your Congress people. Uh, and I've said it before, it's not that he's a Republican, it's the type of person he is. Um. We can't all be in the same party. We can't have, uh, we're not a socialist country. We don't have like 15 different parties, political parties. We got a two party system right now that could change and it probably will change following these last couple of presidencies, few presidencies. Um, but right now we got a two party system and we also do have a constitution and we do have a 25th amendment, and that can be evoked to remove a president who is. Out of line and out of control. So I encourage you to contact your Congress people and ask them no demand that they do something about this ridiculously, uh, abusive, abusive power, uh, and heinous behavior, uh, that we're seeing from 47. That's it. I wish you a great day. Please tune in next week for a need to know with Dr. Nsenga Burton and definitely tune into the award-winning A Black Executive Perspective podcast hosted by Tony and Chris, uh, which is great listening. Have a wonderful day. And stay focused and stand up for yourselves. Call your Congress people. Alright, bye.
