“We have always done it this way” are the last 7 words of a dying institution.

Keven McCarthy is in no position to talk about political opportunism when he and his party are the consummate masters of taking crises of their own making (including this one) and constantly trying to score cheap political points.

So I guess America will be Trump's 7th bankruptcy?

The world has a pandemic, America has a narcissism problem.

This a corporate dystopia where people can’t get a living wage.

He also tweeted the follwing a little less than a day ago: "Looting, rioting, and mob mentality is not what America is about. The safety and security of our communities go beyond politics. It's time to restore our way of life." I can't imagine anything worse for the average person in this country than if we were to see this happen. Lets go back to earning too little working one job to survive? Lets go back to not being able to pay for our own healthcare? Lets go back to letting glorified thugs in uniforms act with malice and impunity? I hope to god we don't. The only reason he is saying this is so that people in higher positions of power in the hierarchy can go back to business as usual - to what is most profitable for them. Their way of life is watching most Americans toil under two or more jobs to make ends meet, but being quiet while we do it. It is that way of life that he represents and wants to go back to. He does us no favors by offering it to us once more, it just shows us how removed he is from the concerns of average Americans.

I think it’s a perfect time for drastic, sweeping change. The system is a mess, and it’s clearly crumbling. It’s the perfect time to build something better. Let’s hop to it!

There is a Black mayor in Stockton, California making major changes, including a minimum income, reducing police shootings, and police brutality. He is 29. We need more of this. Grassroots is the way to go.

This is 9ne of the most all-encompassing, and 'on-the-money' I've seen in a while. Nailed it, Beau!

When attending town halls with an agenda I find that I get the best results forming a left/right coalition who might disagree on virtually everything else but we agree on this one issue. Nothing scares our government Representatives and Senators more than when we come together. They know at that point they could easily lose their seat at the table of power.

Having schools funded by local real estate taxes is absurd. Imagine if roads were funded the same way. How would you be able to drive through poor areas on roads that were 12 inches wide?

So grateful I have you in my life, Thank you Beau.

Billionaires and corporations are not going to let the changes needed happen. They haven't for 244 years now. They are dug in pretty good.

"We lost the war on drugs" There was no enemy to begin with. Legalize, tax and regulate.

100% everything you just said. I've been saying this for awhile now.

An overhaul starts with getting rid of Capitalism’s cancer: Corp Lobby!

damn this is pure gold

Interesting video for a non US like me. Thank you! You're a good ambassador for America

This is the one video I wish you didn't end with "it's just a thought" because this was the single most concise explanation on what's broken in our country

Beau, I have a question for you. I've been watching for about a year now, and I know you don't talk often and openly about your personal ideology and goals for the world because as you've recently said, they're so far outside the Overton window that they basically can't be taken seriously. I feel like I align with you on most of what I've been able to pick up, though. My question is, as someone so involved every day, how do you keep from burning out? What stops you from falling into despair? Thank you, and please keep doing your good for all of us.

I knew before he even started talking that this was gonna be a great episode 👍 Bravo sir, Bravo

Phew Beau..., Good one I gotta watch this over again. Let in sink in a bit. 👊

An extended and flawless chain of reasoning about social cause and effect- rare in any time, especially so in the middle of this cluster . . . you know. Beau, your service to the community is invaluable. Thanks.

You are always so thought-provoking with what you say, gives me a different perspective on things

imo It's not time to restructure American life. It's past time. But not in the way either major political party would change it. imo

1:46 This whole flow hits MANY of the root problems...Well put Beau.

Beau: if there ever was a topic worthy of a specific channel with plans and steps. this is it. excellent summary of who we are and who we don't want to be.

We need a serious change in values and to see that reflected in government. People over profits and healthcare as a human right

Whenever McCarthy speaks, the star of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers rolls over in his grave

Preach my brother you are speaking the truth

We always hear about, "the good old days," of the 1950's. Looking at it, I understand part of it. One parent working, could afford a decent middle class life, save for kids college, vacations, and our infrastructure was improving, expanding, we had good schools, our government could provide many things a government should, and prosperity was available I or those who pursued it. And millionaire incomes were taxed at 90%. I'm not saying that is the answer., but supply-side trickle-down voodoo economics, 40 years into this, if you can't see that this kind of economics is definitely not the answer, you're not looking at the world with an unbiased eye.

Well at the end of this video everything Beau said literally almost put me in tears Godspeed Florida man

Beau-tifully said. 😁

Now you guys I'm an African American this dude I love this dude is honest this dude is real this dude is my brother from another mother I salute this cat look up to him and I ride on every word that comes out of this young man's mouth and you guys ought to be glad to have him as a part of your group he is a jewel and I mean it uncle steeno dropping the mic

Love, Love, Love, keep lobbing hard truth balls, Beau!

Lets start a chant. LATE NIGHT BEAU, LATE NIGHT BEAU!

One of your best. Thank you.

Thanks again...truth delivered with passion.

stay strong, Beau, and keep your chin up. You're buoying up literally thousands of us just by sharing such breathtaking common sense every day. It's appreciated

What a fresh perspective. Thank you

I had to replay the synopsis over because I have never heard it put so perfectly!

Keep preaching, Beau! This is one of your best, and I watch you every day. Thanks for all you do.

Damn! I really hope our paths cross one day so I can shake your hand and thank you. For being a sobering voice to all the chaos. You give me hope. Thank you

“Stick with me here” like anyone was going anywhere.

Starting to restructure American life is real easy: Accept Ward and June Cleaver passed away long ago.

This man speaks FACTS.. thank you Beau

One of your best, Beau.

People need to read Naomi Klein’s book “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” So many of the people in power follow Milton Friedman’s and the Chicago School’s pure free market ideologies. The doctrine follows that you need to take advantage of or create a crisis so you can force certain privatization policies through more easily because the public is “shocked” or stunned by the crisis itself and therefore can’t mobilize fast enough to prevent it. Think Chile under Pinochet and the other Southern Cone countries during the 70’s and 80’s, Russia under Yeltsin, and the Bush Administration increased privatization of education and especially the military, surveillance, and security services after 9/11. This pandemic is a Natural shock to the country. We have to ask ourselves who can benefit the most during it? Who can benefit the most by letting so many small businesses fail? Who can benefit the most with an uncoordinated federal response? And while the the pandemic is naturally occurring crisis, Trump is now fabricating his own crisis that the country is “descending into chaos with rioters, looters, and anarchists.” Again, who stands to gain the most from the narrative? One thing that went under the radar when Bush signed the Defense Authorization Act in 2006 was a rider that stated the President can declare martial law and “employ the armed forces, including the National Guard” overriding state governors in the event of a “public emergency” in order to “restore public order” and “suppress” the disorder. These emergencies can range from hurricanes, a mass protest, or a “public health emergency.” Naomi Klein pointed this out in 2007. It sounds very familiar now. So if people are confused why Republicans are in no hurry...there is something to be gained from their delay. Something to be gained from this crisis. Corporations and the government are no longer separate. The Trump Administration blatantly exposes what really has been happening for some time-Corporate leaders are now our government. How many corporate heads became part of the Trump Admin. And the problem with that is these types of leaders can never distinguish between public good and private interests. They see them as the same. And we suffer for it...

This should have been a "Let's *really* talk about..." ^_^

Very well put. Thank you

Watched Beau for quite some time and this is my FAVORITE !!!

Oh man... that 303 shirt! Lovin' it

I explained how schools are funded (leading to educational inequality) to my 12yo last night. "Well, that's stupid. Why don't they take all the taxes collected for education, and divide it equally across all schools based on the student population?" Well, sweetie, that might allow people to make their lives better, and we're easier to control when we're exhausted from struggling.

Spot on! Thanks for continuing to speak out in such a concise and eloquent way.

As a non-religious person i can only say one thing to this... AMEN!

Beau, You forgot the part about record setting buying of firearms and ammo, because we are afraid and need to protect ourselves from ourselves.

I'm always curious to see if George is upside down; I check in the thumbnail.

Hell yeah, Beau. Preach.

One of the best explanations of our current situation I have ever heard. Bravo!

Great synopsis and with passion!🇨🇦

I love this and you explained it so succinctly. I have tried to explain this to people who always say "pull yourself up" and don't understand that our system is set up to keep down people down.

You are one fabulous teacher Beau. I wish you could be president.

Testify!!! Perfectly put as always!

"They" have they/them; We have you, Beau✊⏲️💥

You are coming in hard, full bore, guns a blazing my friend. Respect

Beau, this moved me. I am saddened by many things in the USA (and made happy by some, though the last 4 years have been a struggle). It would be interesting to have a discussion and note the differences between Australia and the USA on many of the things you mentioned, and indeed on the fundamental questions of freedom and democracy in our two nations.

Preach brother. I wish you could run for office. I think you know enough about most of the important things we need addressed to make a difference. People would listen to you.

It's time.

This is why I think congress should have 2 terms just like the potus...

Bud as a Canadian citizen watching your President doing nothing . The money that politicians are holding back is tax payers money give it back to them . American GREED !

"Personal responsibility" exists in a context. That context we have created is far from a "level playing field." We have in many ways "criminalized* the most vulnerable amoung us.

I heard that mic drop from Hawaii...

unfortunately America is more likely to end up like Handmaid's Tale than Utopia

Good first step - never re-elect any politician ever again.

You are one of the most level headed, intelligent people I've found in this mess and I thank you for the guidance, vision, motivation and hope. We're all in this together and each other is all we have. I know you won't go for it, but I'd vote for you, hell I'd campaign for you. Let's all keep up the fight or die trying!

yes we need evolution not revolution

"No question why Evolve or die." -Alien Sex Fiend

100% on point..why can't we understand and comprehend these FACTS? This craziness.

Your so spot on with everything you said... I just wish more Americans could open their eyes...

It's just a day, y'all have a good thought.

Howdy internet people 👋 and Beau! Wow 2nd comment! I just want to say I enjoy this channel & it's subscribers. 🙏🇺🇸👊 Don't give up, keep trying to help build your community & this country.

I had a friend whose motto was, "The work doesn't care who does it."

Everything you’ve been saying up to this video has been leading to this moment. This video is so on point, so timely and so necessary. Thank you for continuing to speak truth to power.

We are in a time of great change, experiencing the evolution of the world. In response to this great movement, people project their ideas, their beliefs, their hopes and their fears. Life within the world is changing forever. We are no longer isolated in the universe but are emerging into a Greater Community of Life inhabited by uncountable other life forms, all in pursuit of survival in a competitive universe. "To go towards great change requires that one break free of the bonds of the past sufficiently to be able to gain a new understanding, to break new ground psychologically and emotionally, and to attempt to extend and to open to new possibilities." "It will take the presence of the Greater Community to finally bring humanity to realize it must unite, it must preserve the world, it must protect its citizens, and it must become strong and capable in order to function in this new world." This is the most difficult thing that could happen to humanity at this time. yet it is the most beneficial. (excerpts from Preparing for the Greater Community, received by Marshall Vian Summers, New Message dot org.)

We don't need the federal government any longer.

Beau, thanks for doing your channel!! You are so insightful and direct on issues that we all need to know about, reflect on, and work for change. During these most crazy times, I hope you are able to take good care of yourself❣

It makes me sad that you are right...Keep speaking truth Brother!

Last time I was this early, Beau was still employed by [redacted]

Up kinda late, aren't we?

I'm from the UK and ever since Trump got in I've been fascinated by what Trump would change over four/eight years. To say I'm totally devastated for you guys is an understatement. This would never happen over here, I know Boris us a bit baffooney but he has nowt on 🍊 man. This Kevin McCarthy is the most deleterious human in the house. Such a simpering snake. I used to teach and have read about body language and fascial give aways. You can tell he can't stand Trump, intact you could say that for the majority of the GOP. Look at him(McCarthy) when he's near trump, it's so obvious to see. Love your work Beau ♥️

"Don't mourn - Organize" Joe Hill before being executed 1915. What a man !

trumps trying to ban tencent which has stake in so so much in the gaming industry. Its very scary hope ur at least doing ok

It's midnight in Florida. Don't you sleep?? Lol 😁😁😁😁😁

Amazing analysis. Thank you, Beau.

Holy shit this guy is brilliant. We need a hell of a lot more like this guy in America

You are definitely honing in on perfection. Close enough for me anyway.

On Biden, if elected: "He is going to hurt God. He is going to hurt the Bible." - Trump Edit: I think I'm going to start posting some of the dumb things Trump say everyday. It will give me something to do since...well....he says something dumb every day.

Dam Justin ,Very Good you hit every point of our social problems we are dealing with today I just hope everyone listens and understands what you are saying, my hat is off to you brother.

on your side. Few know Smedley Butler who wrote "War is a racket", I would say that American Politics is a racket. You are right.
