I can personally say, although I was never on a radical path, Beau helped me to become a more empathetic, open minded person, and to abandon some right wing beliefs that I previously held without critical thought.
I think a lot of you are missing the point when you say "that guy". There's hundreds of "guys"; thousands perhaps. In this manner you're like the Texas representative who tried to grill the Google CEO: He thinks there's a "guy"... a man behind the curtain.. in that case there isn't any "guy". In the case of Beau... there are thousands. There's no continuity except in their belief in violence. And, perhaps we might speculate the reinforcement of the negative came from Russia or Iran or the RNC or Klan or... this is not a simple game.
I'm trying to find a way to get my lead to think more like Beau. He's *RIGHT ON THE CUSP* of it, but he's jaded from MSM and is a former democrat who is jaded from the clintons and the like, and all the lies corporate democrats told him, so he's been kinda sucked into the Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, and Bill O'Reilly side of news and info, and even though he's a retired army MP who has a decent grasp on critical thinking, he's so jaded that it's hard to convince him of anything left-of-that. Any suggestions?
@@i-love-comountains3850 Get him to turn the internet, radio, and tv off. He needs a retreat away from it all where he can learn to love life on life’s terms instead of living it based on man made divisions and labels.
No one is scared of some convicted felon who tried to enrich himself with illegal labor lol, his own criminal record will make sure he doesn't have a good reputation with normal people
Beau, You are living proof that 1 voice from 1 person can make a huge difference. I was lost in the echo chamber of right wing media and the lies. I’m a lifelong democrat and never trumper. Your voice helped me calm down and continue to push and speak up. Thank you and congratulation on making a difference.
I'm an ex-con. One of the best pieces of advice I received is don't judge someones past, judge them by their actions now. You are all good. You are needed. Thank you.
Ex con here too man. We are human. Our past experience is not our identity. Its easy to let them convince us that we are less than that sometimes. Keep ya head up
Well said, Bobby! Unless the crime is especially heinous, the only difference between an ex-con and someone with a clean record is luck - because one got caught and the other didn't. Besides, unless a record shows a pattern that can predict future behaviour (like an escalation in violence, etc), then once that person has served their sentence, their punishment should be complete. It's wrong to continually penalise someone who has paid their debt to society and atoned. None of us are the same person we were 5, 10, 20 years ago - ex-cons are no different. We can't have redemption stories if we don't give people the opportunity to redeem themselves. I hope life is treating you well now 💕
Truly, superiority is a myth. Superiority is easily seen in branding efforts. Superiority is subjective in the extreme as one's skills aren't pan-transferable.
I listen to this sometimes when I need a reminder. Nobility by Alice Cary True worth is in being, not seeming,-- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good--not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. We get back our mete as we measure-- We cannot do wrong and feel right, Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure, For justice avenges each slight. The air for the wing of the sparrow, The bush for the robin and wren, But always the path that is narrow And straight, for the children of men. 'Tis not in the pages of story The heart of its ills to beguile, Though he who makes courtship to glory Gives all that he hath for her smile. For when from her heights he has won her, Alas! it is only to prove That nothing's so sacred as honor, And nothing so loyal as love! We cannot make bargains for blisses, Nor catch them like fishes in nets; And sometimes the thing our life misses Helps more than the thing which it gets. For good lieth not in pursuing, Nor gaining of great nor of small, But just in the doing, and doing As we would be done by, is all. Through envy, through malice, through hating, Against the world, early and late, No jot of our courage abating-- Our part is to work and to wait. And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.

He lost me at "deradicalisation." What is wrong with radicalism? Some of Beau's ideas are radical: he advocates changes at a fundamental level, as opposed to tweaks and reforms on the periphery. That's what radicalism means, from Latin rādīcālis: "of the root" (of the problem). The word radical has been hijacked by the worst elements of the counterterrorism industry, and made to refer simultaneously to extremism and to any desire to change the status quo of political power. It is disappointing that Beau is repeating this corrupted language uncritically.
@@jimcrelm9478 ... yes but, in modern colloquialism we have come to understand the term in this light: dangerous, threatening, violent. I don't understand throwing out the whole argument because he's working with the definitions we have rather than superimposing his own or stopping to have an extra grammar/ vocab lesson on how his terminology applies to a certain context.
@@jimcrelm9478 So if you have a problem with what he's actually saying or how his content was impacting people (that is, walking individuals back from taking violent measures on account of their political/ personal beliefs)- or if you had a serious issue with the group that was using his content, just say so rather than hiding behind the Latin. Plus, as one who has studied historical languages, you of all people should know that English makes no freaking sense and that it is terrible at following rules and maintaining definitions.
@@samiam858 Perhaps I misspoke, I'm not attacking his entire argument on that basis, but his use of the word provides a really unfortunate and unnecessary framing for the remainder of the video.
Hey Beau, I’m a black woman living in Montreal and have seen many of your vids. At first I was hesitant to listen to anything from someone that looks like you do, I have listened to your words and logic and have come to understand you’re a good guy. I thank you for changing my attitude towards someone that I would be afraid to approach, or ring their door bell in an emergency due to my life experiences. Love that accent btw and finally subscribed. Thank you. Update April 2022 still watching while recovering from hip replacement surgery. Update: It’s April 4th. 2024 This episode popped up on my feed. It’s my 2yr anniversary of my hip replacement. This is amazing I’m still watching Beau and doing great! Thank you all for reaching out and wishing me well. If u need that hip done do it and get your life bk. I love listening to Beau.
Same here. Only I'm an A A woman from Maryland...and my life experiences have led me to be weary in the same way as well. Glad that I stopped and listened too. Thanks Beau!
@Romantic Warrior1 As A Black man from jersey, i was the same way. the first time I saw him pop up, I was like " Nah Man " finally, I clicked on his page and been rocking with beau for a minute. I know judging a book by its cover is never a good thing, but i found him during the trump days and I just knew he was with the shits, but turns out he wasn't. not sure if ill ever come across another beau.
Sorry buddy, I had a call from my friend. Anyway I just wanted to thank you 🙏 because you have been a voice of reason for me. I can’t stand Trump and you have kept me from losing my mind about the guy. His ability to avoid prosecution is unbelievable. You have been a blessing to me and my friend, you are greatly appreciated. I’m tired of the division. 👍🏼
Hi Beau, Well this video answered a lot of questions for me. You looked PIIIISSED when you issued your challenge to those who put out nastiness about you. Stand strong! I greatly appreciate your honesty, directness and insights. Keep up the awesome work and congratulations on having been a beacon of reason to those on the edge and turning them away from darkness. How wonderful you are!!
As a 57 year old African American Woman who retired as a MSG after 23 years in the Army. I want to say THANK YOU for YOUR service to our country, because what YOU are doing is a GREAT service to this nation and I SALUTE you. God Bless you Beau, keep telling the TRUTH and shinning LIGHT into the Darkness!
I hate when people who are sincerely trying to make the world a better place are needlessly attacked by thin-skinned, narcissistic, self-important, small-minded individuals barking at the moon for attention. This further proves you are on the right path. Keep up the good fight !! We got your back!!✊🏾
You and me both. I retired right in the middle of blood-red Midwest, and I've had to fight every inch of the way not to be run out of town on a rail. Beau has not only reminded me that not everybody's so crazy, but he's helped at least tamp down some of my sometimes fierce hatred of 90% of the people here after 20 years of their savagery. It does no good to become what you hate. And I've felt on that steep slippery slope myself at times. I'll never have his magic touch with rightwingers, but he still makes me better than I would be otherwise.
Same! I was introduced to Beau’s channel during the trucker convoy protest/occupation in Ottawa (which is where I live) by a couple of army veteran buddies. They look like Beau. His channel kept me saying during those long weeks, and then into the Russian invasion of Ukraine… and continues to this day!
I’m a late 50s Canadian man. I’ve been paying a great deal of attention to politics in my country and yours for 30 + years. Your analysis and delivery of information is an incredible service to everyone. Thank you.
My uncle explained to me how to live a good life. " Life is like climbing a ladder with people above you, and people below you. Some of those people above you step on your fingers, and some reach down to offer you a hand up. Be that person that offers the hand and you will have a good life" It works. At 72 I have reached down more times than I have had my fingers stepped on and I still have ten fingers. Keep reaching down Beau, it suits you quite well.
That's an awesome analogy. I hope you don't mind If I spread it around. If it's on social media I'll be sure try to put your name at the end of it. Unless you want to share your uncle's name, I could do that as well.
This is a more philosophical, prettier version of something an old boss told me once: Never shit on the people on their way up-they’re the same ones you’ll see on your way down...
Yup. I have recommended his channel to many (former?) trolls that were spouting nonsense. I usually don't hear anything back from them. So I hope they watched them and it helped. Seen a few comments from former 'radicalized' people thanking Beau for helping them too. Hope he just keeps doing what he's doing. I know I will watch.😊
Good news. I've been posting his videos since the beginning on Facebook and many of my friends are now doing the same. I hope that somewhere along the line someone who has needed to hear his message and get turned around has. We all do what we can do.
I was in a discussion with another person and I suggested he look into Beau and in turn, he suggested that I look into Jordan Peterson. " Canada's best commentator." No comparison. 👎
Dude I’m Egyptian and live in Egypt...I don’t miss a video, I have the notification bell 🔔 on if that matters. Love the concise yet super direct, culturally relevant (not just to Americans by the way) and rational common sense overall.
Most of the 'evidence' I've seen people share is a whole bunch of stuff from dubious and unverified sources or a link to a Justice Dept. page that just lists some names and sentences with no details whatsoever. So to say he is some brutal slave driving mastermind based off that seems like a stretch. I'm no legal expert whatsoever but if court documents weren't sealed I imagine people could get a hold of more verified info and if they are sealed then it's probably something he can't go into detail about. I'm not even saying it's impossible, but for all these people I've seen just assume he's a monster so readily is disappointing but maybe also a sign of the world we live in.
Beau just recently ran a fundraiser for project rebound that recieved almost $100,000 in donations. I would imagine anyone who doesn't see a problem with raising money for that purpose should be fine with letting Beau's thousands of videos speak for themselves for the kind of man he is today, and what his views are. And anyone who does see a problem with raising money for that charity probably has bigger things holding them back than Mr King's past.
A RU-vidr whose assumed identity has the initials B E has done a nasty vid. But he appears to be a real slimeball himself, especially on platforms other than RU-vid. Several people say he's a tankie. Sadly, among the comments on the vid are some people who swallowed his crap and say they will unsubscribe from Beau.
Beau, I made one of my friends aware of your videos. After watching them for just a few months, you took someone wobbling on radicalization and fully deradicalized them.
Old women in invented agriculture. And probably sharing. Old women can face down young men, and have, before witnesses. Consider the original Mother Jones. Her husband dead, her sons killed in some labor dispute in coal country. She went out with food and water (&intel) for the miners. After dark. Some young pinkerton pointed his weapon at her, told her to leave. She brushed aside the barrel of his weapon like a woman with shit to do. "You aren't going to shoot me." She said. She was right.
You're a breath of fresh air, Beau! I'm a middle-aged woman from Seattle. A lot of people think of us as radical left up here, and a lot are. But many of us are just sick to death of politics. We want to live and let live. Let's help our neighbors and do good in the world. Sick to death of violence and January 6th-style rhetoric (and yes, we see that up here too). And I'm tired of people "othering" folks who are different. PEACE EVERYBODY! ☮
I am tired of the division,... the hatred and anger, the fear-mongering, and the ignorance. I'm tired of the disinformation, the half-truths and the lies. I'm tired of watching humanity wither on the vine. We desperately need to come together as one and create much needed change. We must heal our wounds of the past. Encourage change that benefits every soul on this planet. I believe that this channel is essential in our collective recovery and growth. Positive messaging is never a bad thing.👏👏👏
The issue becomes one of those we "need" to come together with not wanting the things we want, but still ensconced in their desire for money and power. The catch is that if we join with them, there will be no great change. We need to decide if the greater need is for unity, or change because it very much appears that we cannot have both.
@@HunterOaks You make an excellent point. I mistakenly thought that human beings would band together to fight a common foe, (like a global pandemic). Sadly, that wasn't the case... 😢

Beau, I’m an old white Canadian and I appreciate your candid and instructive analysis on so many topics. I was around during the civil rights movement and the Vietnam war and the peace movement, celebrant of Roe v Wade. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from using you voice for clarity. Thanks Beau.
Hi Beau, I'm a 51 y/o deeply melanated woman, and I wish there was a way for me to send you a hug over the internet. As I watched this, I felt like giving you a big hug. I appreciate you. Sending you lots of love from a Brooklynite living in Florida.
Back in the 60's we had a saying. "you're either part of the problem or part of the solution" It's pretty clear to me which side of the equation you fall on. Stay strong, brother!
You know, the fact that they put so much energy into discrediting you, means they are scared of you, it means you are effective. Keep doing what you are doing. Take it as a compliment and double your efforts. We need it!!
I listen to your vids.often.Keep em coming.They have helped me unde tstand the underpinnings of radical people.If you don't understand where they're coming from and why- you won't be able to help em change the course they're going too and why not.
I am from Australia, originally South Africa. I find Beau to be a steady, calm conveyor of the truth. No fighting, no division, no instigating, just calmly telling it as it is. Thank you Beau! I send you clips to my friends and family in South Africa to teach them to be more tolerant. Less divisive and less racist. You do good work my friend, there will always be those who want to tear you down. They're everywhere. Ignore and live you life the way it suits you. I salute you. We have ALL done things we are not proud of mate. You have more than made up for your mistakes.
I'm old white guy, Marine vet, done some snoop and poop and a time as a law enforcement officer. Enjoy your videos because it's good to see a knowledgeable person who breaks stereotypes, gives needed alerts on the very real threats to America's best aspirations. Keep up the good work.
@John Smith He doesn't like that some people with "different views" are being lied to on an organized and mass scale. And that those lies cause some of them to become so angry that they do things that not only harm others, but harm themselves, sometimes fatally, or with great legal penalty. At this point, it's not just "different views". It's views based on the betrayal of trust by powerful people. Those "views" have been proven to be dangerous. Why do you defend them, and put down somebody whose sincere work is to guide people back to reality?
@John Smith At some point, you'll realize that the problem is you, John. You come here with nothing but alt-right parroting points and expect anyone to give you the time of day? Grow up.
Seriously, why is anyone responding to John Smith? He's not serious about improving the world. The only thing he's serious about is trolling. Non-stop trolling. Oh yeah John, we've seen your innocent act all over RU-vid. He might think his moniker makes him anonymous, but it does not. He's easily recognised by the game playing he engages in.
I think there may be some validity in John Smith's point even if some FEEL like they're being condescended to. Having said that, compared to the divisive media along party lines that we've been fed I'd say Beau's videos are a breath of fresh air.
You keep doing what you do! I don't know your past but I know your voice is a voice of reason and care about your fellow humans. Don't stop! Your detractors have a choice; don't watch!
I was an elementary school teacher for 34 years here in Toronto. For several years, I followed and continue to follow the news (i.e., CBC, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Deutsche Welle, and RTE) so I could increase my own level of awareness on what is happening around the world as well as what is happening in Canada and America. Thank you for being a voice for reason, logic, and using common sense in your messaging. Thank you for being the voice of reason.
Hello from Ireland. Imagine being such an articulate, compassionate and empathetic orator that you can truelly inspire and change the most poisoned and fragile of minds. Please keep up the good fight, the world needs more people like you. Keep safe!!!
The L.A. Times did an article on this framed you as an extremist antifa sympathizer and also tried to frame you as just another ex-felon. Clearly they didn't watch any of your content and just tried to sensationalize the story. Didn't change my or my wife's opinion at all. I looked up your past, learned about you some more. So in the end, I found out more about someone I highly respect. We love your content, Beau.
The way you wrote that made it seem as though the LA TImes was doing the framing....as you can see from the other comment to your post. I think you meant to say that the LA Times ran an article ABOUT how Beau was being treated. Am I right? If that’s the case, You might wish to edit your remark on the main feed, as it leads to a false impression. If it really was the LA Times putting out this disinformation as fact, then shame on them.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Yes. The title of the article is "Start-up backed by Google accidentally promoted an anarchist" The article is behind a paywall so I can't read it but the title is clear enough. Interestingly enough - I went on to read about a half-dozen articles that showed up in the Google search - and with the possible exception of the LA times article (can't read it so no idea what it actually says) the articles all agree that Beau is, yes, an anarchist (something he mentions himself in some of his videos) - but that his videos pretty much without exception are both well-researched and well-reasoned, with good talking points and a recognition of the reality behind the bullet points.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 I looked up the article, it was less than flattering to say the least. "But Beau, whose real name is Justin King, also had a history of supporting anarchism and making statements that to many seem anti-Semitic. He is a felon." The whole article is basically in that vein. www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-03-30/google-moonshot-redirect-far-right-online-extremism-anarchist
so I decided to look up who owned the LA Times after reading this comment. I was wondering if it was Murdoch or something. Turns out it wasn't. It's a South African billionaire. I wonder why HE would have a far-right agenda...
Thank you for what you do! When I'm feeling this world is lost and my thoughts are frightened and panicked, I can watch one of your videos and listen to a well thought out, simple explanation of things and am able to gather myself together and live a normal life without being scared all the time. You make a difference!
Dear Beau, Who you were is NOT who you are. Thanks to You, I have begun to relearn to use my words instead of my Fists/Training. Thanks to YOU, I have begun to turn my life and viewpoint around and have started to show others how to get there. PLEASE, don't stop what you are doing. The words "lift up and stop punching down " have become part of my everyday vernacular. Thank You!
The only reason he isn’t doing it still is because this reaches a larger audience and is, in the end, more effective. And that’s a good thing. There is no purpose in dividing us up by stupid arbitrary country lines
My best friend once said to me many years ago “I ain’t never going to change “ to which I replied “that implies that you will never learn anything new again”. He did learn of course and he changed for the better, a big guy who learned that it’s very difficult to be happy when filled with a lot of hate and anger. Thanks for your example.
I am so grateful for you. I was beginning to think only me and my husband thought like you do. Then I found a bearded guy speaking what I consider common sense and a lot of other people nodding. Whew... You make a difference with every video.
@@lotanerve Same. It was an anti-BLM video and I was ready for a roller coaster. Then it turned out to be about why the right (particularly Westerners) hates the Bureau of Land Management and pointing out groups like Black Lives Matter have the same issues when they complain about local police and sheriffs. It wasn't just the message that made me a fan, it was his ability to get into the far right mindset and turn it towards reality without insulting anyone.
I just watched something by that guy? Dreary, and I was like, no, that is not him. You got the wrong guy. Who has not made any mistakes, let him cast the first stone.......Iand suddenly, I got the answer? Yes, it was. There is little info out there and who cares....I have watched and listened to you for years. Not one time did I feel anything but your positive guidance. Keep on Truckin', your still doing good!! March 2024
When they start making personal ad-hominem attacks, it means you're hitting home and they're scared of you and your messages. Wear it as the greatest badge of honour, Beau!
Sir, the problem with your statement is you assume a "basis", a rationale position... but it really is like a cult. Anyone who can accept the QAnon narrative has a warped view of reality. How do you judge "effectiveness" when they believe absurdity? No abuse of Beau intended... he's rational. They're not. Those believed so much that they attacked the Capitol and took their cellphones! And posted pictures! They did something that served no purpose and was based on illusion.
I try to use your videos to engage a group of 20-somethings in politics and current events, with the end goal to get them to care, and vote. Now we're all Yankees, but we're rural, and agricultural. That makes you relatable. The broad scope of your videos makes this channel interesting. In fact, your name came up in a bar last Saturday, while we were celebrating one kid just turning 21 (and me turning 60). Keep up the good work.
As a CANADIAN I think your insight on many, many subjects is honest, forthright, well thought out and from the heart. I am glad to see that there are still sane people living in the dysfunctional home next door.
As a fellow Canadian, I noticed you forgot to say sorry. Damn American spies always crossing the border for our beer and pot. I knew you's was a Yankee spy, a beaver told me that he heard it from a moose down by the Tim Hortons dontcha know der eh?
@Seeking The truth Well, we talked about it but the provinces couldn't agree on what kind of fence. Ontario wanted a white picket jobbie, Quebec wanted a ceder hedge, Alberta wanted an electric cattle fence, BC wanted an art installation made of sea shells and forest debris, Nova Scotia wanted a nice low stone wall until we reminded it that it didn't have a land border with the US so now it's sulking and insisting on a line of demarcation buoys...
Texas Grandma here. Your channel is essential for everyone to watch. I’m a well educated 70 year old that got distracted & sloppy with my uptake of info. Never was that interested in politics but had an inherited point of view. You are helping me fill in the gaps & self educate on topics that have become much more visible ( to me). I share your info with my adult kids & my grandkids, not to influence their world view but to spark the curiosity & conversations that are so necessary in today’s world. You are a master teacher & a national treasure. Blessings to you and your family and this community. Just keep on Chopping wood & carrying water...
So well put. I subscribed to Beau's channel at a time when I was beginning to think that ALL Americans were morons and this channel was a vehicle in putting me straight. As a non-American I admit to a sudden jolt when Beau said he had been assisting "aliens" ; images of Roswell sprang to mind and for a millisecond I thought my opinion may have come the full circle! ;-)
@@Moamanly I´d imagine - if it wasnt just a smear - he was helping refugees. People can get indicted today for saving women&children from drowning in the mediterranean or leaving water in the desert for middle and south americans who try a crossing. Its gotten bad.
While I most certainly agree with Cynthia's sentiments, still I must urge caution moving forward: i.e. be especially careful if you decide ("elect"?) to pass out dangerous contraband such as, say, bottled water to voters waiting in line for many long hours to cast their ballots in places like Georgia (a state of mind as much as the Union).
Holy shit the range of emotions I just went through in 8 mins, just astonishing. You’re doing something right, if you’re being that ferociously attacked sir. I thank you for your time, and effort. #Solidarity
@@fizgizan I'm so very sorry for your loss! I understand being in a spot where you WANT to understand something, and feel you might be misread and/or attacked for opening up and asking... I just wish I could help in this instance. I understand. But my words are failing me as I try to figure out how to explain. I'm afraid I'd confuse things far more than help them🥺 Nevertheless - you have my sympathy and my support, if an anonymous internet person can do so🥴👍🤷♀️ I wish you well🌄🌈🌞
I'm a black woman in the Boston area and I started watching your videos specifically because I needed to hear from someone who looked like you, but wasn't one of them. You bring balance to the force, basically...
Months ago, I saw a note about Beau’s past on a conservative channel. Naturally, I was shocked, but figured the past was past, and I certainly can’t throw any stones. Beau helped me, a person living alone and physically isolated through the pandemic, to keep hope. That’s what’s truly important to me.
Exactly. There’s another channel with skimpy subscription base, that’s talking up this decade ago storyline and demanding he answer for what he did. Truth is neither he nor I know what’s happened between now and then, except what’s clearly on this channel which has had a profound impact. Fk sake it’s not like he’s running for office. He’s not obligated to give any speech or apology. Hell, Beau didn’t even have to make this video. He might have directly interacted with the people affected. Truth is, conservatives don’t want someone this informed, informing others. The impact that this channel has is huge and will continue to be.
Just FYI, anybody with money to spend and an advertising account with Google, Facebook or Twitter can theoretically copy Beau’s videos and run them as ads against radicalizing searches. It’s not hard to get these platforms to let you spend money running ads.
Nixie Nox Beau believes that is fair use. It would obviously be easy and cordial to ask but he’s not about to claim his videos reproduced for that purpose.
Thank God you are still making videos! I find you to be deeply knowledgeable, analytical, balanced and riveting. It is just the perfect length and I so love how you start "Hello there internet people." and end with "Anyways, it's just a thought. Have a good day everyone. Switch off. Absolutely marvelous. Thank you!
As I recently posted on another of your videos, thank you so much for doing what you are doing. Your integrity is clear to those who are seeking to learn, who want to be educated, who care about our youth and our country. You clearly serve both. I am a 48 year old woman and I learn so much from you and I share your videos with my son. Pls keep doing what you are doing.
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn yeah, you brought that up and I was like "really? That's all? Tell me of his j-walking record next!😆" Congrats on being successful enough that you've made the right enemies and they feel they need to go on a smear campaign to take you down. It's a great milestone showing that those who would spread hate are afraid of what you do!
When the news reached me of this wild story I had to drill down pretty far to find out what the controversy even was. I imagine they didn't highlight the actual charges front and center because if you spend too much time talking about it, the response would probably be, "Well yeah, you just told me a second ago this dude's an anarchist. Of course he doesn't believe in borders."
@BilingualHobo - I tell people don't worry that Beau looks a bit swampy; he's really brilliant, well informed, and analytical. As a former educator, if I had the power I'd annoint him with an advanced degree not only in poli-sci but also psychology - and history - and a lotta other things. There are very few people on earth in whom I have as much confidence as Beau.
I know, I'm late to the party all the way around. I only recently found your channel, wish I had found it earlier. But here I am, listening to your common sense, no hysteria, truthful push of information. Truthfully, I did try to find out more about you, dodnt try very hard because I realized that didn't matter. Your videos are fantastic, thank you.
@@MrRoguetech Google the judgment for yourself. There’s no mention of any human trafficking offenses. Regardless, if the guy went to prison & paid his fine, what more needs to happen here?
Beau, its not just that you help de-radicalize people but your content also helps motivate goodwill everywhere. I'm not an American, we come from different backgrounds and there are differences between our progressive views. Yet like many I have spent my life trying to make the world better; I have marched, rallied, protested, partitioned, talked, debated, saved lives, put my life in danger for my fellow man and so forth for women's rights, indigenous rights, LGBT+ rights, human rights, OUR RIGHTS! but I've been doing it for so long and felt so alone doing it …and 'sigh' there is just SOOOO many 'bad guys' that I feel like giving up. You are a easily accessible source that reminds me that it is worth it and that I am not fighting alone, the world can be better. Thank you . :) " …anyway, it's just a thought. you have a good day now"
You are not alone Mr. Eagles! We do it here, too and there are quite a few of us sprinkled here and there. I say good for you! Hang in there, friend. We got this and Beau is our cheerleader and a good guide.
Not alone Charlie, not alone Bro ! But I care to differ on the so many 'bad guys', in my life experience I've found that most people that would qualify as such are really just more people in need of caring, understanding and basic human love ... and that's coming from down in the social sewer where I have spent many many years being in direct contact with trouble makers. It's my opinion that even the worst haters can most often be turned around given enough time and effort from the outside.
Hey, Beau. 70 yo great grandma here. Keep on trucking, baby. I was born in Louisiana in 1953 and have seen some shite in my day. The current trend by the radical, extremist right is NOT what we fought for. My compulsion to help make this country great is influenced by peace, love and helping others as much as I can. Stay the course and we are right here with you. Peace out. ✌🏽
Okay, to be honest, when you said “alien smuggling” I immediately imagined you smuggling ET and that was an amusing concept. I also love how they can only attack your accent because they know everyone loves your accent 🤣. Keep being a force for common sense, decency, and good Beau.
Beau, from far away Belgium I say this: you are the most level headed and decent person I have ever had the privilege listening to. It is your past that shaped the person you are today. No matter what you did or didn’t do or say on that road. Keep up the good work, brother.
A dear friend of mine (RIP) once remarked, on hearing me express my oft repeated wish to see America at least once in my life, said to me 'you won't find what you're looking for, there anymore'. I never knew what he thought I would be looking for, but I am satisfied that in my 'America of the mind' America does have a mind that's thoughtful caring and responsible. And for me, Beau personifies all that any visitor to America could hope to find. Respect and love.
I just want to thank you. Thank you for all of your videos. I was in a mass shooting in December 2020. Up until the moment the shooting started, I had always thought about the repeated, how a “good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun” and I used to think: maybe that’s so. When the shooting started, that all changed. I knew in that very instant that if a “good guy” did pull a gun, I, nor anyone else there would know it was a good guy, and had a cop been nearby, they are trained to kill anyone they see with a gun. That’s just one of hundreds of thoughts that went through my mind. I honestly believed I was going to die, and the only thought that stayed with me was that I was never going to get to tell my family that I love them. And that was heartbreaking. It also was my motivation to get up and run. It only lasted maybe a total of approximately 3 minutes, it felt like a lifetime. The scenarios that played through my mind were like lightning bolts. Within a couple days I saw your video about shooters/school shooters, and even though you uploaded those videos long before the shooting I was in, the videos brought me some comfort, some hope that maybe someone who could take the information and make some positive changes. I’m so happy that the people who were promoting your content was doing that and were no doubt effectively changing radical thinking. I really enjoy your videos, they are very insightful, peace promoting, well thought out and well executed. Please keep up the great work that you do, we see you, and we love you.
Hi Corey, thanks for sharing your story. I’m curious to know why you think you didn’t come to your conclusion before you went through that experience. Thanks so much for sharing
Byron, honestly, I never imagined it would happen to me. I live in kind of a rural area, I don’t often go into the city. I’m a humanitarian and I guess I tend to believe that people are inherently good. I think that America is desensitized to violence, I say that because it is so commonplace that when we see another shooting on the news, we barely bat an eye. The short answer, directly is that there is no method of learning from anything than real world experience. I tend to think more on; how do we combat this problem before the shooter starts shooting. People tend to think about the back end too much. My philosophy is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I don’t know how we stop it but I do think that making access to mental health services very easily accessible, and more comprehensive background checks would be a very good start. What I’m trying to say is that I prefer not to wait until the next shooter goes off, not to wait until another 5,10,20+ people are killed before we take action. To prevent it rather than just responding to each one as they happen.
Corey, you are so right when you say Americans are desensitized to violence. When I read your original comment, I thought "What mass shooting in December? I don't remember hearing about that." Then I Googled it. There were 29 mass shootings in the US in December!!! 29!! That is truly shocking and so eye-opening. I am so glad you are physically okay, though I'm sure the mental pain will last forever. Thank you for sharing your story and opening my eyes!
I cannot find but remember a quote I read long ago. "As tall trees are known by their shadows, so are great men known by their enemies." Congratulations on earning the animosity of the kind of people you have Beau. It's a milestone to be proud of. ;)
I'm Canadian. Your videos have helped me parse what I'm hearing in the media. They've also helped me to understand the decades of history behind what is currently happening in America.
Not canadian but really finding out the un-biased story behind USA is Very Valuble to us foreigners trying to relate to the 'today' story in the States. Well done Beau...keep it up... PLEASE !!
I’m also Canadian and I LOVE watching his videos as they help me delve deeper into the various topics that are being discussed in the media. I also like that his perspectives are often different from what I might hear from other RU-vidrs which of course provides for a broader understanding of America and the rest of the world.
@@jamescolvin575 I do not see how that would follow. First of: There are people who want him there and there are people who don't. So however you read it, you could play both sides. More importantly: This quote only gives a check if something is worthwile, not a guarantee that it is. The logic is "if it's worth doing someone will be against it" not "if someone is against it it's worth doing".
Another of his that's one of my favorites: "Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." I'll be honest, Beau don't exactly strike me as the "candle in the dark" sorta folk. And I mean that with every ounce of respect in my soul.
Often the best good guys are the ones who having gone astray, realize the error of their youthful judgement and want to save others from the same mistakes. Passing on knowledge to point them to the right path is admirable. Your content is clear and thoughtful and considerate of others. You make the ideas presented relevant to the viewers in an way they can relate to so the content doesn’t sound preachy and is not insulting. I’m very impressed with the energy and research you put into your videos. I have been a soldier, corrections officer, State Trooper (retired) and I cannot remember seeing any programming, professionally produced or otherwise that would meet the quality and content you produce. I wish every school taught civics and featured many of your videos. It really would make a difference in attitudes. It would also teach them to research topics as you do prior to forming opinions. I believe based on the viewership numbers that you are making a difference. Each step, every story dedicated to making our world better helps move us all in the right direction to oppose the hate and division spread by the agents of darkness and disparity. You are, in my humble opinion, one of the “good guys”. Joel
The guy who tried to cancel you on twitch is the worst kind of grifter... he has a large audience. There are some on twitch who have your back. We stand in solidarity with you and appreciate everything you do.
i’m just curious as to what twitch streamer it was. just wondering if i’ve heard of them before. I was pretty unaware/unaffected by the whole situation he described and will obviously continue to watch beau’s videos into perpetuity.
18 month sub to that other content creator here. literally nuked my support after i saw that video this morning. Of course this wasnt the first issue ive had with the choices of this streamer. They have been increasingly hostile towards anyone they perceive to be anarchist. Its sad, but typical of that type of online space. I thought this content creator was genuine. They have good info, and ive learned a lot from them. But i just cant continue to support the emotional manipulation and tug-of-war between online communities. This person is not like Vaush or Destiny, i told myself. Or at least they weren't until those viewer numbers were over 2k. I think we owe each other some common decency. And if we aren't letting people grow, especially from their own mistakes and experiences, then wtf are we even doing? You can see my manifesto (lol) over on that channel's comments, i dont want to repeat myself here too much. This shit honestly really upset me though. These things have been discussed, as much as im sure Beau is comfortable with, but the video is presented like a detective had solved a mystery. And im already pissed that other content creators will be broadcasting about that video. Because after all, the hype trains must go on! disgusting. I've just become so disillusioned from online spaces after getting out and doing actual mutual aid. I know the answer to this question already, but im gonna ask anyway: did this content creator even reach out to you? Even try to have a conversation with you before creating a narrative? We owe each other a lot more. Beau, im sorry that you werent given even a chance.
As a 69 year old woman that found your videos on U TUBE. I appreciate your opinion , it lets me know there are decent people out there. You speak the truth and I appreciate that.
Thank you for sharing all of this, Beau. I discovered your videos only a few days ago; and I found them very interesting, to say the least. You are one of only a few people who seem to know what he is talking about. And, most importantly, you seem to have a heart. Please don't stop.
I have shared your videos with my family and friends. You have helped calm our fears and helped us to make sense of the craziness that’s going on around us. You are my voice of reason. Our voice of reason. We appreciate everything you have done to help all of us. Don’t ever let anyone stop you from doing what you do. Much respect and gratitude to you. Thank you, Lori
You got me off my prejudicial attitude toward the so called "MAGA rednecks" because, I am ashamed to admit, I associated them with people who look like you. You taught me a very good lesson Beau: self awareness! I respect and deeply admire your clearheaded political analysis. Thank you for what you do and for who you are!
Really? They look like Beau? Typical left wing stereotypical CNN BS! The world will remain a f'd up place as long as people like you exist and keep spewing hatred. Live and let live.
@@JR-playlists Thank God & Jesus we Trumpets can see through the lies, spin and horse manure that Justin King spews out. Hell, even his name (Beau) is fake. But thanks for sending this channel to my brothers and sisters... you'll just make them realize how proud they are to be on the side of good (hint: you can't convert intelligent people to the side of stupid [blue pilled] but over time, the stupid can be converted to the side of intelligence, truth, reason, goodness, and rationality [red pilled]).
Honorable people recognize the truth, it’s why we return to listen to your thoughtful reporting. We hear, we think and care enough to do right by others
@@janeofalltrades8279 a specific well known gun militant group (that Id rather not mention by name because I’m still a little freaked out tbh) They convinced him to do many things behind my back including going from zero guns to around 12-15 (without telling me). We’ve been together 15 yrs and this nearly cause a divorce. It took a lot of deprogramming and reprogramming, love, patience, and ppl like this youtuber.
Look up his court documents. He imported migrant workers, woman aged 19-23, payed them below federal minimum wage, and extorted them with inflated visa extension charges, made them live together in crowded flats, where they had to pay him rent. The court ruled that he had to pay a !million! dollars in damages to the women.
Beau. I was aware of your background in general almost immediately and still I follow you. I am a former MO Major and a retired Police Chief. I value your analysis and balanced If humorous presentations, and I share them at least weekly. Thank you for your efforts. Drive on young sir
I saw the smear campaign against you and after seeing the dates in question, I was like I really don't give a ****. I don't need to know every possibly bad thing someone did 2 decades ago. I like the content that you're making and that's that.
Influencer status achieved. When you're at this level there will be people out there that will want to ruin you because of envy. That's when you know you're making an impact.
They might have just seen it as a way to generate clicks. No envy or any other personal feeling necessary. Just cold calculation with no regards for the negative consequences.
