@@cuckoophendula8211 because Democrats finally had a chance to pass game changing legislation and even looked like they grew the spine to do it unlike during the Obama administration, but it is all for naught because one guy, maybe two if you count Sinema, is stopping it. All on some idea that the GOP will totally not act like the GOP if we just keep giving them more chances. It is reaching the point that our best hope is maybe, just maybe, Democrats hold the House and take a couple more seats in the Senate. Want to take a bet on that happening?
Hopefully Dems can get more seats in 2022 making him irrelevant and then they can. Right now they need him or McConnell is majority leader. I don’t get why Schumer isn’t going hard after Murkowski to flip to Dems, she wins in AK because she gets moderate GOP and Dems.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -Asimov
Sadly Beau is selling the lie that we have two parties in this country. I find it hard to believe he has not figured out the good cop(DNC) / bad cop(RNC) scam that is being played. If the DNC were the antidote to the RNC they would kick Manchin and Sinema out of the party and let McConnell get the credit for his obstructionism. Instead they want the dumbest among us to take out their frustration at the do nothing "Democratic" Senate by voting Republican in 2022. Doesn't matter which party is in power, bills benefiting the 1% will pass while bills benefiting the 99% will not.
Asimov almost had this right - ignorance is a state of mind which is deliberately cultivated and perpetuated by those in power to enable them to do what they need to do in order to benefit them and them alone.

Agreed. When the video started, I was thinking to myself, that I've never seen a man who makes such an impact with his words, staying so calm during the process. Well, I got the same vibe that you did. He's super frustrated with the dangerous absurdity of Manchin. I soooo get it.
I noticed this too. While I only recently discovered this channel, I have watched a lot of Beau's videos and he has stayed calm and reasonable through so many frustrating topics. But this is the closest to anger I've seen him. It just emphasizes again what a precarious position the US is in. It terrifies me and I'm not even American.
Oh, he isn't delusional. What makes you think he believes what he is saying? Look, it is clear what's going on now: business as usual. It's not just Manchin. It is Biden and probably a majority of them. They're just looking for excuses not to deliver. They like where they are now, which is as corrupt as they wanna be as long as it isn't more corrupt and cruel than the Republicans. If you believe I am wrong, you explain to me what else I have to go on other than their words.
In my lifetime I have watched America go from being a country that could accomplish anything into a country that is capable of anything....and it's horrifying..

Listen to right wing talk radio and read what is posted to the comment sections of right wing internet sites and you will hear words and phrases like the ones you just used to describe what the Democrats are trying to do. They big problem we currently face is that the base of both sides really believe that the other side's actions will destroy our country.
@@davidhinkley7867 One side knows for a fact that the other side is trying to destroy entirely what our country _CAN BECOME._ The other side knows for a fact that the first side is trying to destroy entirely what our country _ACTUALLY IS._ They're both right.

I will offer you a little hope beyond: The fascist state that the Republicans will create can't survive. The destruction of that state will be one of the most violent events of perhaps the last 50 years but they'll oppress their own. I don't want to go there but the convoluted fantasies of Trumpism has no integrity.
@@Wopayne Agree, unfortunately. My aunt and uncle lived in France. One year, she said, "I don't like the way things are going. I am going to vote for the communists." Imagine having all those party choices in America. It would never happen.
@@Wopayne Exactly. Anyone who thinks the GOP or the Dems represent the working and middle classes isn't paying attention. We live in an oligarchy--I'm not sure Beau fully understands that (no disrespect to him, but he has his blind spots).
That is quite the image. May likely borrow it in the future if you don't mind. 😊 As an outsider observing American politics, all of this confuses me to no end...but the absence of safeguards to treat situations like this just makes me shake my head in amazement.
No, he wants the Democrats to "compromise", meaning capitulate to the gop. Which means join trumpville, like Beau said. He MUST be a "mess of a man"! This little power moment he's having done made him dizzy in the head.
Thank you Beau. You've condensed all my fears into one neat package. I was born in the States, served in the U.S. Navy and thank God I now live in Canada. From this vantage point it appears, at least politically, that the land of my birth has gone insane.
Umm, you guys sound like you've bought their lie that they are much larger than they are in truth. At their most numerous ever, you're talking about less than 27% of Americans (74 million out of 275 million). They are much weaker now. Certainly less than 1/4 of the country. lols Besides, they are incredibly weak individuals to begin with. They cannot win, and they know it too.
"seek bipartisan compromise" yes. but it's not compromise if _only one side is doing it._ I actually wrote him a letter asking _how_ he can deny supporting these initiatives... when all we're being faced with is a brick wall at every turn? I don't expect a response. At least the republicans can lock-step to get their agendas passed.
I wonder how fast one of his interns threw it in the trash? I doubt he reads anything from anyone unless they give him a thousand bucks up front. Politicians are scum.
Never saw Beau angry before. At least, not *that* angry. Shows he knows how important this is. This Manchin weasel is doing his worst to steal this country for the fascists, and he might well accomplish this. It's not even delusion, it's malice. Enjoy your last little taste of democracy, America. It's almost dead.
Thank you for expressing my disbelief at this ridiculous situation. And for making it very clear as to why JM is acting more like a trump supporter than a Democrat
Yea. There is no path to victory for them. They have already lost decades ago. It's just taking decades for them to go through their death throes. lols Sadly their trashing around like little crybabies is getting people hurt and even murdered. Saint Peter will not look kindly upon them for that. Nor do I and I am no Christian (neither was Jesus).
Excellent point and the republicans are not interested in working with anyone except their party. Their only goal is to stop President Biden no matter the issue. Their only platform is to support Trump.
Not just refuse to, but directly stating as the turtle face obstructionist McConnell did in saying that his number one priority is defeating Biden's policy for the sole purpose of causing Biden's presidency to fail. The same way McConnell had also stated he planned to make Obama a 1 term president. That didn't work out as planned, but not for a lack of trying by Mitch and his sick obstructionist, democracy hating party.
This is Joe Bidens stance as well. Wanting Bipartisanship under the assumption that either party is acting in good faith. We HAVE only one party. The corporate party.
Watching the Wallace interview he has no response when people point out reality except to say the Senate has to take it slow. I think I was just as furious as you listening to him. We have all been watching the same GOP for the last 20 years right?
Yes. This situation does not bode well. The For the People act needs to get put into place quickly. If it is held up then the states that are restricting voting rights can say well we did not have the time to comply.
I don't know if that's true, it doesn't make any sense to me that the Democrats would have a coordinated effort to help the opposition party win. I think he's just doing what he thinks will get him re-elected in his own state.
Of all the videos that I have seen of Beau, I think this is the first time that I really saw him pissed. What he brings up is important, the objective realities that needs to be acknowledged.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 the republicans are coming back in 22 that’s why beau is so worried. About. Did you catch when beau was talking about May run for speaker of the house. Look it up beau said it. Not me.
Maybe they should look to see if the mob boss is squeezing. Manchin in some way. I don't know why no one treats the ogre like the mob boss he is. They wonder what hold he has over the leaders of the republican party try good old-fashioned fear. The promise of a son's arm broken or a daughter picked up from a school.
@@Nembula Never ever forget there is ample proof that T is owned by Putin. He is a masterful manipulator and he'd have dug up something on every Republican senator he could. They all lined up behind T like little scared ducklings within about the first three weeks of T being in the WH.
Ok you just scared the he'll out of me!!! For the first time since I started watching you recently you looked & spoke with such concern that you got my full attention. What can I do to help stop this from destroying the US?
Talk to people. Give them facts and common sense arguments. Share Beau's videos. And vote in 2022 like the lives of our children depend on it. Because they do. Also, try not to worry. If history is any proof, over time we are winning the struggle for freedom. Things will likely turn out fine eventually, as long as we don't give up. If it's any help, the republikkkarens at their most numerous represented less than 27% of the U.S. last November (74 million out of 275 million). They are far less numerous and much much weaker than they like others to believe.

back when i was a civil rights worker it never occurred to me that some would rather burn democracy down than share....
People are greedy and look out for self instead of society.
That's why Covid lotteries are a thing.
Listen to right wing talk radio and read what is posted to the comment sections of right wing internet sites and you will hear words and phrases like the ones you just used to describe what the Democrats are trying to do. They big problem we currently face is that the base of both sides really believe that the other side's actions will destroy our country.
@@davidhinkley7867 One side knows for a fact that the other side is trying to destroy entirely what our country _CAN BECOME._ The other side knows for a fact that the first side is trying to destroy entirely what our country _ACTUALLY IS._ They're both right. The only question is whether more people want the crony-capitalist greed-fest that exists or actual progress.
@@claytonreeves150 Had to 👏👏👏👏this comment, especially the last sentence. My...fear...is that it'll be the crony-capitalist greed fest for the win. There are entirely too many people who really, really think they're going to get their turn at the slop trough one day and then it's all good...
"The word 'bipartisan' means that a larger than usual deception is being carried out." - George Carlin, a friggin' comedian.
I think he wants to preserve his own position and power. He likes being the one everyone has to kowtow to.
"We will end up with one party in this country." And it won't be for the people.
Unity!
I will offer you a little hope beyond: The fascist state that the Republicans will create can't survive. The destruction of that state will be one of the most violent events of perhaps the last 50 years but they'll oppress their own. I don't want to go there but the convoluted fantasies of Trumpism has no integrity.
We have one party rule. Names and parties don't matter. Money and power rule us now.
@@Wopayne Agree, unfortunately. My aunt and uncle lived in France. One year, she said, "I don't like the way things are going. I am going to vote for the communists." Imagine having all those party choices in America. It would never happen.
@@Wopayne Exactly. Anyone who thinks the GOP or the Dems represent the working and middle classes isn't paying attention. We live in an oligarchy--I'm not sure Beau fully understands that (no disrespect to him, but he has his blind spots).
Thank you, Beau, for being so angry. We need more Dems to be this angry and fight for America and Democracy.
Seeking "bipartisan compromise" from the GQP is rather like accepting a dinner invitation from Hannibal Lecter and expecting him to *feed* you.
And not to himself.
That is quite the image. May likely borrow it in the future if you don't mind. 😊
As an outsider observing American politics, all of this confuses me to no end...but the absence of safeguards to treat situations like this just makes me shake my head in amazement.
@@TheGhostRises Heck, it confuses us Americans most of the time, too!
No, he wants the Democrats to "compromise", meaning capitulate to the gop. Which means join trumpville, like Beau said. He MUST be a "mess of a man"! This little power moment he's having done made him dizzy in the head.
😂🤣
There's a phrase for someone like him: Quisling.
A fifth columnists? 🤔
great- to the dictionary…
Perfect .... I hope he has trouble sleeping at night for what he is doing for the GOP.
“We The People” and “Common Good”
Don’t exist anymore
IMO it is a mistake to call the man delusional. He knows exactly what he's doing. As do the rest of the GOP.
He is beholding to the Koch Brothers. Koch doesn't want for the people's act
It doesn’t take courage from Manchin...it takes character of which he has none.
Love the compassion brother. If only the folks in charge were.
“And my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed - in the sounds of silence.“
I am as angry as Beau. We have crazy Sinema here in AZ and she sand Manchin seem to share the same delusions. Sickening.
Easy to look sane next to Gosar and Biggs tho.
Thank you Beau. You've condensed all my fears into one neat package. I was born in the States, served in the U.S. Navy and thank God I now live in Canada. From this vantage point it appears, at least politically, that the land of my birth has gone insane.
Sadly, as an American, I agree 😞
Umm, you guys sound like you've bought their lie that they are much larger than they are in truth.
At their most numerous ever, you're talking about less than 27% of Americans (74 million out of 275 million).
They are much weaker now. Certainly less than 1/4 of the country. lols
Besides, they are incredibly weak individuals to begin with. They cannot win, and they know it too.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Beau, make a transcript of this and send it to every contact method, including snail mail, to Manchin.
way to go friend, please be sure to double mask at all times as a sign of solidarity against white supremacy racists!
Spot on
Beau, we need you in congress!
Yep, sure do.
"No matter how many steaks you throw to that Tiger it will not turn into a vegetarian." Lol. Made my day.
I think he might have meant something other than steaks, like avocados, but I get his point. Lol
czcams.com/video/TJ5sjFf4w1k/video.html Reminds me of this clip.
@@alterworlds1629 That's Gary Oldman? Would not have even recognized him. Amazing.
Instead of ending with "it's just a thought", he should have said "it's just the truth".
"Ignoring objective reality." Absolutely!!!! That in and of itself is a major tell on who and what Manchin is.
I had similar feelings. I even thought, is he being blackmailed or paid off?
Something is not sitting well with me.
I'm starting to think Manchin has Oppositional Defiant Disorder and enjoys the attention he's getting over this.
He's a former governor who is acting like He is the president
@@mciverc1 Unfortunately, the schtick is working.
So Manchin has not read the title "The For the People Act" as in an act for the people of our country. Just SMH!
Jesus, you actually believe the titles? You must be a firm believer in the Patriot Act.
"seek bipartisan compromise"
yes. but it's not compromise if _only one side is doing it._
I actually wrote him a letter asking _how_ he can deny supporting these initiatives... when all we're being faced with is a brick wall at every turn? I don't expect a response. At least the republicans can lock-step to get their agendas passed.
Thank you for your comment and taking time to write. I agree. It feels like nothing will help but you know you did your part.
I wonder how fast one of his interns threw it in the trash? I doubt he reads anything from anyone unless they give him a thousand bucks up front. Politicians are scum.
Never saw Beau angry before. At least, not *that* angry. Shows he knows how important this is. This Manchin weasel is doing his worst to steal this country for the fascists, and he might well accomplish this. It's not even delusion, it's malice. Enjoy your last little taste of democracy, America. It's almost dead.
If Biden were serious about passing these he would announce we were doing a review of military base locations starting with the 2 in West Virginia
Also an investigation into price gouging pharmaceutical ceos. Start with his daughter
@@tomlehmann306 #whatabout
Just when I was starting to have some hope for this country again, along comes Joe Manchin.
Keep up the GREAT WORK
This is the first time I've seen Beau get this upset. You are speaking for most of us frustrated Democrats.😠
Why get upset. You all said don’t get up set to the republicans just get over it
It's not delusional on Manchin's part - it is deliberate. This is what he wants.
No matter how many steaks you throw to the tiger, he will not become a vegetarian.......Crazy good verbiage.
YES! YES! YES!
Bravo. Spot on. God save us.
You can’t compromise with “give me everything”
"delusional" is exactly correct. Me likey "exacting" Beau
Delusional is giving him too much credit, IMO.
Meh, delusional is assuming he’s not on the take.
“Me likey” sounds extra inappropriate in this climate of hate crimes against Asians. Maybe rephrase?
He also owns a business or two which is why he will never vote to raise minimum wages
I own a business and I support raising the minimum wage.
Then again, I do everything I can to support my wmeployees, not exploit them.
Ha! Yeah but he will say anything to the poor people of his state to keep them in poverty while casting their vote for him.
That's not just a thought! That's a Fact! Continue to speak truth to power
Well done my friend 👏👍😀
Manchin: I'm a "policy before party" guy. By that, I mean I'm gonna make sure that every policy I vote for is something that my party is against.
Thank you for expressing my disbelief at this ridiculous situation. And for making it very clear as to why JM is acting more like a trump supporter than a Democrat
Manchin is the new McConnell.
Well said my brother. I admire your courage.
Get "em Beau! Preach!!
You’re on a roll today!!!!
🍺🎉🍺
@@keithdavies52; I like the beer part, it would be a delight to drink a cold beer with Beau and have a bullshit session.
First!!! 🏆💐👍🏾
Beau's sounding mighty pissed off today, & I can't blame him. smh!
Manchin needs to change that D to an R.
He might have already been a R the whole time. He said he had always voted like he's voting now.
Which would make Mitch SOH again.
@Hawk Watch he's exhausting and he never says his constituents want me to to vote for XYZ , he votes how he feels.
@@GrandmaCathy GASP NOOOO
I agree that Manchin is a DINO. However, if he changes his affiliation, they hand the gavel back to McConnell.
Beau, your clarity of thought is always direct and very informative. Many thanks.
Always respect me a fiery redhead! Keep up the good work Beau!
Proper salt Beau, I’m salty af too. Over these treacherous sphincters.
Joe Manchin is the Trojan horse. And we all know how this story ended.
So set it on fire. All the garbage this man has to be hiding should burn merry hell.
Rather than becoming a one party system, I see chaos and violence happening if the GOP gets its way.
Yup :( All their rhetoric about angry violence is not just talk.
Yea. There is no path to victory for them. They have already lost decades ago.
It's just taking decades for them to go through their death throes. lols
Sadly their trashing around like little crybabies is getting people hurt and even murdered.
Saint Peter will not look kindly upon them for that. Nor do I and I am no Christian (neither was Jesus).
Reads name of bill "For the People Act."
Manchin: ooooo too partisan :
Amen Sir
How can you hope to work with people who refuse to work with you?
Excellent point and the republicans are not interested in working with anyone except their party. Their only goal is to stop President Biden no matter the issue. Their only platform is to support Trump.
Not just refuse to, but directly stating as the turtle face obstructionist McConnell did in saying that his number one priority is defeating Biden's policy for the sole purpose of causing Biden's presidency to fail. The same way McConnell had also stated he planned to make Obama a 1 term president. That didn't work out as planned, but not for a lack of trying by Mitch and his sick obstructionist, democracy hating party.
By doing everything they want.
Yes, and it is because they are being illogical and denying reality! What do you do with that, America better be paying attention here!
There is No Compromise to be made. You're either pregnant, or you're not!
Blessings, friends!
Not now a days friend...
@@jomo4435 Don't play that bs here.
This is Joe Bidens stance as well. Wanting Bipartisanship under the assumption that either party is acting in good faith. We HAVE only one party. The corporate party.
True true true.. preach preach preach. !!!!
You are without a doubt 100 percent correct thank you
Watching the Wallace interview he has no response when people point out reality except to say the Senate has to take it slow. I think I was just as furious as you listening to him. We have all been watching the same GOP for the last 20 years right?
We have all been watching the same Congress all our lives.
The opposite of Progress is Congress.
Preach Beau! And thank you for your thoughtfulness!
These are scary times indeed. Smh
This is the most eloquent and articulate statement about Manchin that I've seen/read!
HEAR! HEAR! WELL SAID BEAU!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!~ W,V, NEEDS TO GET RID OF MANCHIN THE TRAITOR!!!!~
Not seen Beau this animated before and, as a non-American observer, I should say it's a matter to become animated about.
Yes. This situation does not bode well.
The For the People act needs to get put into place quickly.
If it is held up then the states that are restricting voting rights can say well we did not have the time to comply.
He's just the buffer for other democrat liars who are actually conservatives but run on the democrat ticket. They need to gtfo the party.
I don't know if that's true, it doesn't make any sense to me that the Democrats would have a coordinated effort to help the opposition party win. I think he's just doing what he thinks will get him re-elected in his own state.
Exactly....he isn't the only one....dont be fooled corp Dems are not on our side!!!
It's all about money and Manchin is raking it in while he can since he knows he has the winning cards.
@@Zakon673 falderol... he has until 2024. people, especially his, will have forgotten by then. dead last in education, I believe...
Thanks Beau. I'm fekkin fed up with this bullshyte too.
So true. Every word. Thank you Beau.
Of all the videos that I have seen of Beau,
I think this is the first time that I really saw him pissed. What he brings up is important, the objective realities that needs to be acknowledged.
One side has completely & blatantly illustrated What they are OK with and for myself there is NO un-seeing that😘
The real unfortunate reality is Manchin will never hear this. Today it feels like the evil orange ogre is winning.
That's manchins "secret" daddy.
That's because he is.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 the republicans are coming back in 22 that’s why beau is so worried. About. Did you catch when beau was talking about May run for speaker of the house. Look it up beau said it. Not me.
Maybe they should look to see if the mob boss is squeezing. Manchin in some way. I don't know why no one treats the ogre like the mob boss he is. They wonder what hold he has over the leaders of the republican party try good old-fashioned fear. The promise of a son's arm broken or a daughter picked up from a school.
@@Nembula Never ever forget there is ample proof that T is owned by Putin. He is a masterful manipulator and he'd have dug up something on every Republican senator he could. They all lined up behind T like little scared ducklings within about the first three weeks of T being in the WH.
Ok you just scared the he'll out of me!!! For the first time since I started watching you recently you looked & spoke with such concern that you got my full attention. What can I do to help stop this from destroying the US?
Talk to people. Give them facts and common sense arguments. Share Beau's videos. And vote in 2022 like the lives of our children depend on it. Because they do. Also, try not to worry. If history is any proof, over time we are winning the struggle for freedom. Things will likely turn out fine eventually, as long as we don't give up. If it's any help, the republikkkarens at their most numerous represented less than 27% of the U.S. last November (74 million out of 275 million). They are far less numerous and much much weaker than they like others to believe.
@@aylbdrmadison1051
Thank you for your encouraging words that I woke up to this morning. You are right, I need to pull myself together & arm myself with truths & not fear. Thank you again & God Bless you.
Spot on as always!
You are spot on!!
He knows what he’s doing. The Democrats need to figure it out and use it to their advantage.
say what?
@@allonszenfantsjones find out what’s motivating him and use it to change his mind. It’s not like he hasn’t heard all the arguments against his position before. Why does he persist? What does he get from it?
My 2 year old daughter smiles and says "Hi Beau" Everytime I watch you :)
My 95 y.o. Mom says “it’s just a thought, y’all have a nice day” every time I listen to Beau.
Our Democracy is at stake and corporate Democrats like him need to go! Your fundamental assumption is perfectly stated and must be broadcast everywhere 🌹
Once again, Beau is absolutely right
You are exactly right. Please send this to Manchin
