And keep telling people, the way he sees it. He is one of the very few people on CZcams, who I feel has never lied about how he feels. And that really is saying something. Black Lives Matter
Any law or regulation that holds him back is declared "phony," any news that puts him in an unfavorable light (i.e. news from any source other than Fox or OAN) is "fake", and his worshippers just lap it up. It's actually kind of incredible the country has survived 3 1/2 years of this.
@@andyb1653 The thing that got me was that he didn't say it was a game use of the clause or that he wasn't profiting so it didn't matter he called the clause fake... There are so many things that if any other president did it we would be beating him up months later for doing it and saying it. The volume from Trump of horrific is insane.
@@andyb1653 Have to remember, it's all about the economy! Everything else can go to hell as long as the economy is doing fantastic. Take a look at the polls on who is better at the economy. Look, www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/2020-election-poll-trump-biden-economy-coronavirus-a9524646.html. Really? Mr Bankrupt man handling it better? Who started the Trade Wars and drove up prices on goods we buy here? It sure seems funny that everyone forgot that Obama reversed the big recession that Bush and the Republican congress caused in the first place. Also the economy favors big business and wealthy investors who can buy millions of dollars in stocks and bonds, etc. If you said you were better off because of the economy, then how so? You got a dollar or bit more per hour in your salary? Did anyone put it into a pension plan or spend it right away? How many living from paycheck to paycheck? What was the total for the year? $600, maybe a bit more? Did that make anyone rich? People worship the economy over everything else unless we are fighting a PATRIOTIC war which Bush and others pushed. Our national debt is well over $22 trillion dollars, so how long will it take to pay that down? Your children? Their children? Whose children's children? Let's face the facts, everyone posting here will be long dead before that debt will ever be erased. But... but... it's all about the economy!?

This pandemic, and indeed this administration, completely shines the light on how effective the efforts to neutralize education in this country have been.
You deserve some spotlight for that comment. Beau, wanna talk a bit on the decline of funding for education and the consequences? I learned critical thinking and language skills in public school - what does ideological education promise?
Wow. You're right and I do remember that. Not everyone was upset by it though. I listened and remembered why I stay in this country. Glad to share some values with a few folks.
@@shawnr771 I have to make do with my own list, but due to advanced data sharing techniques I have just started to compile my own. It does however only have one name on it and requires any other no fly dissidents to self identify in this thread before I forget about the whole concept completely.
@Flightof2Owls - as a UK resident who has only been following Beau for just under a year, I defer of course to your explanation - I just never considered the channels title to be so literal due to the historical and political significance of 'Fifth Columnists' in general and their roles undermining the prevailing authorities. While individual examples may not come across as generally positive, I would hope the term itself would have enough intellectual neutrality that Beau could be seen as a genuine, positive contemporary example of such, making powerful use of the weapons of words and truth as opposed to the violence in historic examples.
I am also the dissident that your government warned you about. I know my mission in this life. "I am here to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." I have searched long for the original source of that quote. Many use it, but not clear it's origin. Beau? Do you know!
Part of what makes Beau, Beau. The day he starts spouting opinion as fact is the day I unsubscribe - don't think I'll be doing that any time soon, if ever. Integrity is in short supply these days, it seems Beau has boxes of it back there on his shelves somewhere.
You did well anyway. It's like planting seeds: even if few come up and even fewer make it to planthood, some will. After a certain amount of time and most likely when you're not around or not looking. If you don't sow, no one will reap. It's not important if you personally don't reap - your silo is already full - but it can be life-saving for others.
I can totally relate and am also the only one in my family who didn’t vote for him. I started speaking out about politics for the first time ever on FB during the run up to the 2016 election because I was so outraged. It seemed obvious to me it would be horrible for our county but even so I am shocked at the level, magnitude, & exact nature of horrifying it has actually turned out to be. Even worse, I’m terrified of what’s to come because I think most of us know it’s about to get a lot worse. I was ashamed of my parents for the very first time in my 45 years of life after their vote & support of him after all the things he’s done for decades that are known to the public-most especially being a huge & vile racist..I desperately want to believe they’ve realized over the last 3 1/3 years that they made huge error in judgement and regret their vote, but to be totally honest I’m too afraid to ask them. I’m scared to hear their answer. If I knew for sure they plan to vote for him again I’d be so angry, and absolutely heartbroken permanently. We’ve never had an altercation over it per say like many families have, but it’s sure put a lot of distance between us & we communicate much less now. This is also includes my sister who’s my only sibling so it’s kinda been those three getting together often & me standing alone. And I’m okay with standing alone on this one because I feel it’s totally justified. I can live with myself & also look my kids in the eye knowing I made a choice that was positive for their futures and what is right. It’s so sad it had to come to all this though for so many families in the “United” states. Our family is certainly not alone that’s for sure & life is short-especially short these days. 💔
In 2017, i was at natural bridge in Virginia where they had a Jefferson reenactor read the declaration. It was pretty incredible and very concerning how well it seemed to parallel our grievances against this current administration.
Right on! The Declaration of Independence mentions God as "Nature's God," "the Creator" and "the Supreme Judge of the world." Nothing about Jesus. The God, as referenced in the Declaration, is sometimes referred to as a "watchmaker god"- in other words, a god who created the Universe and then walked away, having nothing else to do with it. The Constitution, on the other hand, makes no reference to god or God whatsoever. If we were intended to be a Christian nation, there sure isn't much in the way of a paper trail to prove it....and the history of our actions as a nation doesn't indicate a whole lot in the way of Christian values. So we are a nation of people who CALL themselves Christian, and that's about it.

@@judyfolmsbee5519 I sure wish I could answer that. I have spent the last hour scouring Beau's playlists to find it but no luck. I know it exists as I have seen a couple of them and he wears a different hat and a "Schoolhouse Rocks" tee shirt for them. He mentioned it when he started it, but it does not seem to be on his channel. You might try going to the about tab and sending him an email asking. It might just be a email list that he sends out notices when one is coming. Good luck with this. Keep on teaching the youth. They need you.

naturalized citizens have to pass a basic civics exam. perhaps the "right" to vote should be amended to a privilege after first passing the same exam a naturalized citizen faces. a license to vote. an uninformed vote is as dangerous to liberty as a drunk driver is to everyone else's safety.

@ How about we fix the education system so people have the opportunity to become well informed. All a test will do is ensure that those without the resources to invest in their own education don't have a voice, and whoever makes the test gets to decide what kind of people they want voting.
3:47 "'Love it or leave it' - No. Declaration of Independence says you're wrong." I wholeheartedly agree, and I'm from Australia. The "love it or leave it" mentality exists here too; it's just expressed differently. Wanting to improve a society, by correcting serious issues, is a noble desire to hold.

He needs to remember how and why his founding fathers came here, they came here for independence and freedom from the King, now he wants to deny other immigrants the same thing.
NPR radio read aloud the Declaration of Independence with soft, inspirational background music. It was very moving, my eyes welled up. Beautifully done. 👍
I had just looked into the list of grievances, immediately prior to the lockdowns, in comparison to all of American history, but I struggled to not weight it towards 45. Since the lockdowns, and especially the protests, the words are a haunting reminder of how far we've divulged from what we claim to stand for in efforts to work towards it...
Do not confuse the lockdowns entirely with the rest. Pandemic response has to start there as medical personal and scientists figure out what rules, recommendations, testing, and equipment they need. They need time to load up for the fight coming. Its gotten as bad as it has now cause you didnt do it fast enough and now hospitals in effected areas need full shutdown by everyone in your nation to insure after they get their hot spot contained enough to actually DO those things, before they are ready the rest of yall dont accidentally spark the tinder and start a second blast. NYC is a prime example. You wouldnt go into a gun fight without ammo..why you wanna send your health system into one? Cause thats what the valid comparison was and is in some places. America needed 1 country, not 50 states, on this. That word 'United?' Needed to be true. It wasnt and now places like NYC paid the price. A city like that who in my own 28 year lifetime i can say has gotten dick kicked enough. They dont deserve this. No one does but especially not them. America as a nation, Americans as a people need to do better. Period.
@@Sinaeb yes so Trumps a moron. What im saying is dont count the lockdowns the same way. They started as cause and effect, if theyd been started as early as Obamas plan stated it should youd all have barely noticed as things woulda been done in quick, smooth and responsive stages. Its cause and effect and trump trying to hamfist his way into authoritarian power by poking chaos and using it for a power grab, without realizing chaos has a nasty habit of poking back if you bother it to much. Hard. But these stages woulda all been done but spread over months, and no full lockdown woulda ever occurred likely. Cluster areas would had the rubber band sort of effect but nothing like what your nation is doing now. And this starts at the top. But dont just knock them out and let others exactly like them in different suits call the shot. Learn from this and do what your military has as its catchphrase. And i think should be the slogan for america instead of that 'One nation under God' shit. Burn that garbage. Thats an unlocked door for facism. Use the military's four word one for how to deal with challenges, how to think critically. Its far more fitting the best American heritage, the Machinery for Change. 'Change, adapt and overcome.' Far more fitting
Thank you Beau, this is perfect for the 4th. All your videos are thought-provoking and insightful. I learn so much from you. Please keep speaking out. You are the voice, the patriot, this country needs rn. 🤗❤️🤍💙
Except they gave us the tools to change that, and we did. It's called democracy. Unfortunately we've stopped worshiping at the altar of democracy and instead make sacrifices to capitalism as if that was the important part.
Not all of them were slave owners and many were opposed to it. Or there would not have been a 3/5 compromise Wrong as that is based on what was written. It still means there was opposition to slavery.
@@shawnr771 The 3/5 compromise was not because of opposition to slavery. It was because slave owners wanted to get extra representation from slaves, but they didn't believe slaves should be counted as people. So they counted the slave as 3/5 of a person.
Jerrystolk. Some of the founders were rich, most of the rich had slaves or servants. But the majority of people who actually settled this country were poor. Indentured servants, English prisoners etc. Later waves of poor from many countries that simply had no where else to go ..... And WERE NOT welcome here either. From your post you must be the ancestor of a slave. I know a few myself. My best friend and I were driving around one day and she said my Grandma worked there as a slave. ( pointing out a large house) we got to driving and talking about what she remembered and what her folks had told her. A whole world I hadn't heard of. She wasn't nearly as upset about the past as she was about the present. That drive took place 20 years ago. Things have gotten worse since then. Myself, my grandfather had been conscripted in one army after another to finally escape to the USA in the late 1800's. How he got his family here I'll never know but it wasn't easy as there was no generational wealth. Just saying that not everyone here had it easy or was a slave owner. That's racist also
See now, there's a sentence that reads friendly but is actually quite mean. America deserved her independence and as a Scot, I am very sorry that so many of your people were duped by this conman. His mother was Scottish and even she didn't like him. We feel her pain. Much love to all you decent Americans.
This morning I was listening to the annual reading of the declaration on NPR and I was thinking how well that list lined up. And no, they wouldn't have liked him. They specifically warned against him.

"I don't know that the Founders would have even liked him." Well, since the Boston Tea Party was a protest against undue corporate influence in politics, and the Founders fought the Revolution to escape clutches of what they considered to be a tyrannical foreign government, I'm pretty sure they would have intensely *disliked* Don Cheeto Corleone.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest against taxation and recognized monopoly which the colonist considered a violation of their rights. So a group of protesters boarded the ships disguising themselves as Indians taking it upon themselves to destroy the tea. Those protesters that were caught were punished by the other colonists. Then the Intolerance Act was passed as punishment from the British which is what started the Revolution War. Therefore if comparing the Boston Tea Party to current situations the founding fathers would be leaning more Republican.
Here is the list : The founding fathers wrote about King George III and why we became independent. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

I’m reading this part of the Declaration that Beau suggested, and lots of examples come to mind. I’d love to read a more complete, possibly crowdsourced, set of examples for all that apply. You’re the best, Beau!

Forgetting the people that built the systems to make this country is like claiming "I only got a small loan of a million dollars". We didn't make this 'our country', we were gifted it just because we happened to be born here. Yes, it's up to us to make it a better place, to surpass the ideals of those founders, but we still must rely on those documents and systems they set in place to achieve it.
@@CollinGerberding Why? They themselves didn't expect the constitution to last more than a generation. Maybe it's still a fixable framework. But giving a founding document, however important, an aura of ritual sacredness? Such that it stops us making forward progress? That is probably a bad idea.
@@grmpEqweer because nothing comes from nothing (please keep that statement to this particular conversation, as you've shown you like to ad absurdum other people's words)... I'm not saying that it has to maintain being a democratic republic, or that we have to >always< use the constitution forever and ever til no more US. I'm saying that it was the starting point and the current system we have in place is the way to change it. Get your pitchforks, sure, but unless you're actively preaching a bloody revolution, the way toward forward progress is using that flexible framework and getting there. The alternative is rounding up the dissidents (by your standards) and trying to kill the idea by removing the minds that possess it.

After 35 years of looking backward, he says, he’s found that before our universe there was nothing, nothing at all, not even time itself" Um, O.K.. ...I don't think you see what I'm getting at anyway. We could create a brand new charter for our country. *The fetishism is thinking we must use our old constitution as rulebook for making that new charter for the new one to be somehow legitimate.* Because our old constitution is invested with sacred meaning, right? *Well, that's not clearheaded thinking. That's giving it a religious sort of significance.* Nope, the people have to democratically accept the national charter, whatever it is decided to be, as legitimate. That's all. This doesn't require killing anybody, and if you genuinely believe it's either accept this document as the sole way forward OR start stacking bodies...You're putting waaay too much into a 200+ year old piece of paper. I'm not even advocating dumping it. I'm advocating not turning it into a roadblock to progress because we think it's some sacred, incontrovertible thing. It's not. If it is not working for us, it should be revised or replaced.
Yes I have heard of the 43 Alumni and I live what they are doing as well. Helps my leftist hippie heart to see this. When I woke up the morning that Lord Cheeto was crowned I cried. Not that I was ever a Hilary fan....far from it. But I said then and still do "I have fought all my life for social justice and have never been further from it." People like Beau and all of his supporters give me hope that I won't die still saying that. My husband is a Iraq vet. Both of us would lay down our lives to support the true progress of our country and it's hard to see what the Wrongs (can't say right because they are far from it) are doing to it.

I hope beau can get through all of the mud of the swamp. And keep telling people, the way he sees it. He is one of the very few people on CZcams, who I feel has never lied about how he feels.
And that really is saying something.

Emolument clause. He called it the phoney emolument clause. They were pretty adamant on that.
Any law or regulation that holds him back is declared "phony," any news that puts him in an unfavorable light (i.e. news from any source other than Fox or OAN) is "fake", and his worshippers just lap it up. It's actually kind of incredible the country has survived 3 1/2 years of this.
@@andyb1653 The thing that got me was that he didn't say it was a game use of the clause or that he wasn't profiting so it didn't matter he called the clause fake...
There are so many things that if any other president did it we would be beating him up months later for doing it and saying it. The volume from Trump of horrific is insane.
It's too bad nobody mentioned that in the impeachment inquiry.
@@andyb1653 Have to remember, it's all about the economy! Everything else can go to hell as long as the economy is doing fantastic. Take a look at the polls on who is better at the economy. Look, www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/2020-election-poll-trump-biden-economy-coronavirus-a9524646.html. Really? Mr Bankrupt man handling it better? Who started the Trade Wars and drove up prices on goods we buy here? It sure seems funny that everyone forgot that Obama reversed the big recession that Bush and the Republican congress caused in the first place.
Also the economy favors big business and wealthy investors who can buy millions of dollars in stocks and bonds, etc. If you said you were better off because of the economy, then how so? You got a dollar or bit more per hour in your salary? Did anyone put it into a pension plan or spend it right away? How many living from paycheck to paycheck? What was the total for the year? $600, maybe a bit more? Did that make anyone rich? People worship the economy over everything else unless we are fighting a PATRIOTIC war which Bush and others pushed. Our national debt is well over $22 trillion dollars, so how long will it take to pay that down? Your children? Their children? Whose children's children?
Let's face the facts, everyone posting here will be long dead before that debt will ever be erased. But... but... it's all about the economy!?

You deserve some spotlight for that comment. Beau, wanna talk a bit on the decline of funding for education and the consequences? I learned critical thinking and language skills in public school - what does ideological education promise?
Remember that time when NPR read it on air and everyone got upset because they didn't like what they were hearing? Yeah.....
Wow. You're right and I do remember that. Not everyone was upset by it though. I listened and remembered why I stay in this country. Glad to share some values with a few folks.

@Flightof2Owls - as a UK resident who has only been following Beau for just under a year, I defer of course to your explanation - I just never considered the channels title to be so literal due to the historical and political significance of 'Fifth Columnists' in general and their roles undermining the prevailing authorities. While individual examples may not come across as generally positive, I would hope the term itself would have enough intellectual neutrality that Beau could be seen as a genuine, positive contemporary example of such, making powerful use of the weapons of words and truth as opposed to the violence in historic examples.
I need that t shirt. Looking forward to it
I am also the dissident that your government warned you about. I know my mission in this life.
"I am here to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." I have searched long for the original source of that quote. Many use it, but not clear it's origin. Beau? Do you know!
I love how modest Beau is in saying "I don't know if the Founding Fathers would've liked him" 😆
Its the Beau way to say it. His tone is one reason i love the channel. Beyond the truth that constantly pours from his mouth. 😁
Part of what makes Beau, Beau. The day he starts spouting opinion as fact is the day I unsubscribe - don't think I'll be doing that any time soon, if ever. Integrity is in short supply these days, it seems Beau has boxes of it back there on his shelves somewhere.

@@dollwhitman1972 All the more when you're the only sober one in the family. I mean that in more ways than one.
You did well anyway. It's like planting seeds: even if few come up and even fewer make it to planthood, some will. After a certain amount of time and most likely when you're not around or not looking. If you don't sow, no one will reap. It's not important if you personally don't reap - your silo is already full - but it can be life-saving for others.
I can totally relate and am also the only one in my family who didn’t vote for him. I started speaking out about politics for the first time ever on FB during the run up to the 2016 election because I was so outraged. It seemed obvious to me it would be horrible for our county but even so I am shocked at the level, magnitude, & exact nature of horrifying it has actually turned out to be. Even worse, I’m terrified of what’s to come because I think most of us know it’s about to get a lot worse. I was ashamed of my parents for the very first time in my 45 years of life after their vote & support of him after all the things he’s done for decades that are known to the public-most especially being a huge & vile racist..I desperately want to believe they’ve realized over the last 3 1/3 years that they made huge error in judgement and regret their vote, but to be totally honest I’m too afraid to ask them. I’m scared to hear their answer. If I knew for sure they plan to vote for him again I’d be so angry, and absolutely heartbroken permanently. We’ve never had an altercation over it per say like many families have, but it’s sure put a lot of distance between us & we communicate much less now. This is also includes my sister who’s my only sibling so it’s kinda been those three getting together often & me standing alone. And I’m okay with standing alone on this one because I feel it’s totally justified. I can live with myself & also look my kids in the eye knowing I made a choice that was positive for their futures and what is right. It’s so sad it had to come to all this though for so many families in the “United” states. Our family is certainly not alone that’s for sure & life is short-especially short these days. 💔
In 2017, i was at natural bridge in Virginia where they had a Jefferson reenactor read the declaration. It was pretty incredible and very concerning how well it seemed to parallel our grievances against this current administration.

Thanks Beau for being that voice of reason🤔!
You got to be the smartest normal guy on the planet 🌍👍🏽.
Well well. Let's add that this country was not founded as a "christian" nation. Nope.
Thank you!
I am a christian and I agree with you.
It is 100% BS.
Right on! The Declaration of Independence mentions God as "Nature's God," "the Creator" and "the Supreme Judge of the world." Nothing about Jesus. The God, as referenced in the Declaration, is sometimes referred to as a "watchmaker god"- in other words, a god who created the Universe and then walked away, having nothing else to do with it. The Constitution, on the other hand, makes no reference to god or God whatsoever. If we were intended to be a Christian nation, there sure isn't much in the way of a paper trail to prove it....and the history of our actions as a nation doesn't indicate a whole lot in the way of Christian values. So we are a nation of people who CALL themselves Christian, and that's about it.
@@ogivecrush
You could point to the disturbingly violent Old Testament and make the case that this country was founded on Christianity.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."
This is freedom FROM religion. And the free exercise thereof, also includes the freedom to NOT exercise.
And, 'The will of the masses shall not infringe upon the rights of the minority.'
Many thanks, Beau. I’m an expat American in Australia. I love the country of my birth but have been so ashamed by Trump. You give me hope. Thank you.

He mentioned it when he started it, but it does not seem to be on his channel. You might try going to the about tab and sending him an email asking.

It just reminds of a moment when NPR read the Declaration of Independence and it triggered all of the Trump supporters. The sad part is that they too have the right to vote
That was the point that made me realize they are more self aware then I was giving them credit for and that they truly wanted Tyranny
Anticipate it’ll happen again as NPR has posted their 2020 reading: www.npr.org/2020/07/03/883024992/npr-reads-the-declaration-of-independence
naturalized citizens have to pass a basic civics exam. perhaps the "right" to vote should be amended to a privilege after first passing the same exam a naturalized citizen faces. a license to vote. an uninformed vote is as dangerous to liberty as a drunk driver is to everyone else's safety.

I had just looked into the list of grievances, immediately prior to the lockdowns, in comparison to all of American history, but I struggled to not weight it towards 45. Since the lockdowns, and especially the protests, the words are a haunting reminder of how far we've divulged from what we claim to stand for in efforts to work towards it...
Do not confuse the lockdowns entirely with the rest. Pandemic response has to start there as medical personal and scientists figure out what rules, recommendations, testing, and equipment they need. They need time to load up for the fight coming.
Its gotten as bad as it has now cause you didnt do it fast enough and now hospitals in effected areas need full shutdown by everyone in your nation to insure after they get their hot spot contained enough to actually DO those things, before they are ready the rest of yall dont accidentally spark the tinder and start a second blast.
NYC is a prime example.
You wouldnt go into a gun fight without ammo..why you wanna send your health system into one?
Cause thats what the valid comparison was and is in some places.
America needed 1 country, not 50 states, on this. That word 'United?' Needed to be true.
It wasnt and now places like NYC paid the price.
A city like that who in my own 28 year lifetime i can say has gotten dick kicked enough. They dont deserve this. No one does but especially not them.
America as a nation, Americans as a people need to do better. Period.
Um..
Diverged?
@@drizzt102 The thing is, there was an epidemic respon that obama created, that trump decided to get rid of because it was obama
@@Sinaeb yes so Trumps a moron. What im saying is dont count the lockdowns the same way. They started as cause and effect, if theyd been started as early as Obamas plan stated it should youd all have barely noticed as things woulda been done in quick, smooth and responsive stages.
Its cause and effect and trump trying to hamfist his way into authoritarian power by poking chaos and using it for a power grab, without realizing chaos has a nasty habit of poking back if you bother it to much. Hard.
But these stages woulda all been done but spread over months, and no full lockdown woulda ever occurred likely. Cluster areas would had the rubber band sort of effect but nothing like what your nation is doing now.
And this starts at the top. But dont just knock them out and let others exactly like them in different suits call the shot. Learn from this and do what your military has as its catchphrase. And i think should be the slogan for america instead of that 'One nation under God' shit. Burn that garbage. Thats an unlocked door for facism.
Use the military's four word one for how to deal with challenges, how to think critically. Its far more fitting the best American heritage, the Machinery for Change.
'Change, adapt and overcome.'
Far more fitting
@@Sinaeb thats all i was trying to make clear to OP

Founders: rich slave powners that wanted to be free from a king.
Should be funny enough on it's own.
Except they gave us the tools to change that, and we did. It's called democracy. Unfortunately we've stopped worshiping at the altar of democracy and instead make sacrifices to capitalism as if that was the important part.
Not all of them were slave owners and many were opposed to it.
Or there would not have been a 3/5 compromise
Wrong as that is based on what was written.
It still means there was opposition to slavery.
@@shawnr771 The 3/5 compromise was not because of opposition to slavery. It was because slave owners wanted to get extra representation from slaves, but they didn't believe slaves should be counted as people. So they counted the slave as 3/5 of a person.
Jerrystolk. Some of the founders were rich, most of the rich had slaves or servants. But the majority of people who actually settled this country were poor. Indentured servants, English prisoners etc. Later waves of poor from many countries that simply had no where else to go ..... And WERE NOT welcome here either. From your post you must be the ancestor of a slave. I know a few myself. My best friend and I were driving around one day and she said my Grandma worked there as a slave. ( pointing out a large house) we got to driving and talking about what she remembered and what her folks had told her. A whole world I hadn't heard of. She wasn't nearly as upset about the past as she was about the present. That drive took place 20 years ago. Things have gotten worse since then. Myself, my grandfather had been conscripted in one army after another to finally escape to the USA in the late 1800's. How he got his family here I'll never know but it wasn't easy as there was no generational wealth. Just saying that not everyone here had it easy or was a slave owner. That's racist also

images.app.goo.gl/NekCjScgWT8cAawM7
It's a good meme...
"I don't know that the Founders would have even liked him."
Well, since the Boston Tea Party was a protest against undue corporate influence in politics, and the Founders fought the Revolution to escape clutches of what they considered to be a tyrannical foreign government, I'm pretty sure they would have intensely *disliked* Don Cheeto Corleone.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest against taxation and recognized monopoly which the colonist considered a violation of their rights. So a group of protesters boarded the ships disguising themselves as Indians taking it upon themselves to destroy the tea. Those protesters that were caught were punished by the other colonists. Then the Intolerance Act was passed as punishment from the British which is what started the Revolution War. Therefore if comparing the Boston Tea Party to current situations the founding fathers would be leaning more Republican.
This is what people need to hear. Keep going Beau!
Another MASTERPIECE! Thank you again!
Here is the list : The founding fathers wrote about King George III and why we became independent.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Thanks. I'm 68. I see that dumbing down the public schools isn't something new. The declaration of Independence that I was taught must have been highly edited.
Beautiful.
What's up, Beau! First of the internet people here
Second and 💐👍🏽
Thanks Beau! Happy 4th! Great video. Thank you for always great info. You're a pleasure to watch. Not being lied to is so refreshing! I love it and appreciate your honesty and insight. As a Founding Father decendent I say thank you for your love of our Country and for educating us. I'm grateful for your intelligence and straightforward manner. Founding Father's would be really proud of you Beau. Keep up the good work. I only wish your platform was bigger so more people could hear you. We desperately need truth now. God bless.
Thank you for providing the voice of reason during this chaos.
Well.... When is it ever a bad time to pick up the declaration of independence? Been needing some new reading material anyways.
Here's a link to the audio version of the Declaration of Independence on LibriVox:

Thank you Beau!
Thank you for your awesome videos , and all you do to help people understand what our founders fought for .you speak Truth and only willfully ignorant people wouldn't like what you have to say ,I hope you and your family have a safe and happy Independence day brother
Does anyone know of a link where they annotate the Declaration of Independence’s reasons list with references to how Trump’s behavior lines up? I’m reading this part of the Declaration that Beau suggested, and lots of examples come to mind. I’d love to read a more complete, possibly crowdsourced, set of examples for all that apply.
You’re the best, Beau!

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan
Really think he "helped"?
@@hanskuijsten2380 Reagan helped the rich...and the tradition has carried on.
And then ended up saying the government can’t help you lol
The entire quote is, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
I didn't like Reagan, he started us down this road to where we are today but I think we should be honest. The whole quote is: "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
Thanks for your daily effort keep us informed and UpToDate with your sharp analysis of the events.
I am so happy to share your videos with all the people I know who don’t know what to think of all the scary chaos in this country & world as a whole under this administration.
I’m watching every video of yours I can find. They have taught me so much!
"I doubt the Founders would have liked him." The Founders possibly could have considered him a dangerous charlatan.
Remember that when Trump repeats a statement, " he is lying ." Very obvious tell. Just saying
He has so many tells for when he's lying:
Sir' blah blah blah Sir
Starts playing his "Air-ccordian"
Or basically opening his mouth.
@@roryschweinfurter2601 the latter for sure
Also, When Trump says: "Everybody knows..." Trump always says his biggest lies
I have come to love you Beau. I can't believe I didn't remember reading the list. The match up is overwhelming! I'm sharing your video and the text. Here it is for anyone who didn't find it yet. www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript And thank you!!!
OMG, You need a larger platform! Keep up the great work! So proud of how you educate us all on the bigger picture and our history!
Forget the "founders." It's our country and no dead slave owners will make it a better place. That's our responsibility.
Not all of the founders owned slaves, nor liked slavery.
Forgetting the people that built the systems to make this country is like claiming "I only got a small loan of a million dollars". We didn't make this 'our country', we were gifted it just because we happened to be born here.
Yes, it's up to us to make it a better place, to surpass the ideals of those founders, but we still must rely on those documents and systems they set in place to achieve it.

Why?
They themselves didn't expect the constitution to last more than a generation.
Maybe it's still a fixable framework. But giving a founding document, however important, an aura of ritual sacredness? Such that it stops us making forward progress? That is probably a bad idea.
@@grmpEqweer because nothing comes from nothing (please keep that statement to this particular conversation, as you've shown you like to ad absurdum other people's words)...
I'm not saying that it has to maintain being a democratic republic, or that we have to >always< use the constitution forever and ever til no more US. I'm saying that it was the starting point and the current system we have in place is the way to change it.
Get your pitchforks, sure, but unless you're actively preaching a bloody revolution, the way toward forward progress is using that flexible framework and getting there.
The alternative is rounding up the dissidents (by your standards) and trying to kill the idea by removing the minds that possess it.

"The universe had a distinct beginning - though he can’t pinpoint the time. After 35 years of looking backward, he says, he’s found that before our universe there was nothing, nothing at all, not even time itself"
Um, O.K..
...I don't think you see what I'm getting at anyway.
We could create a brand new charter for our country.
*The fetishism is thinking we must use our old constitution as rulebook for making that new charter for the new one to be somehow legitimate.*
Because our old constitution is invested with sacred meaning, right?
*Well, that's not clearheaded thinking. That's giving it a religious sort of significance.*
Nope, the people have to democratically accept the national charter, whatever it is decided to be, as legitimate.
That's all.
This doesn't require killing anybody, and if you genuinely believe it's either accept this document as the sole way forward OR start stacking bodies...You're putting waaay too much into a 200+ year old piece of paper.
I'm not even advocating dumping it.
I'm advocating not turning it into a roadblock to progress because we think it's some sacred, incontrovertible thing. It's not. If it is not working for us, it should be revised or replaced.
Dear Lord, all it takes is a big, beautiful fireworks Rocket going astray..😜..🤧..😷
I love how he drops facts a walks out like "just a thought" 🎤Drop.
Fantastic Beau.... YOU are a TRUE PATRIOT.... You need NOT hug the FLAG to "convince" right-minded people, which is opposite of right-winger.
Hell Beau!
What are your thoughts on The Lincoln Project?
You mean the Republican Party? Or the Lincoln project?
Loving the Lincoln Project
Have you heard about the new one
43 Alumni for Biden?
Admin officials from 43 who dont support Trump.
Love the Lincoln project.
Yes I have heard of the 43 Alumni and I live what they are doing as well. Helps my leftist hippie heart to see this.
When I woke up the morning that Lord Cheeto was crowned I cried. Not that I was ever a Hilary fan....far from it.
But I said then and still do "I have fought all my life for social justice and have never been further from it." People like Beau and all of his supporters give me hope that I won't die still saying that. My husband is a Iraq vet. Both of us would lay down our lives to support the true progress of our country and it's hard to see what the Wrongs (can't say right because they are far from it) are doing to it.
1st I ever been 1st
We will light fireworks in your honor
Third actually but it was really close! 💐 you go!!!
Hey Beau we love you up north. You are the most honest guy I have seen in the internet. Keep up the good work!!!
You have a great day. Beau. Whenever "he's " on some tv or YT show, I simply move on and ignore him. So tired of his fluff, don't even want to hear him. You do a great job and I thank you. Always wise choices. Really like your channel.
