You seem like a person who had a great dog when he was a kid. Any stories about childhood pets?
Susan Elizabeth Cowdrey
The same way you comfort a child afraid of the boogeyman lurking in the dark.
Susan Elizabeth Cowdrey
Oh man. All those carbohydrates... :-)

Early in the Mega civil war puffery I published on what was then Twitter, a list of things these dudes should do to prepare, including making a will, transferring title to real estate, setting up trusts, educating their family about food stamps and medicaid, etc. in order to give them a hint of what a responsible person who is about to die needs to do to protect his family...I don't know if anybody ever read it.

Beau: I have always wondered, in your profile picture…what are you drinking? Tea? Sweet? Is it of the Long Island variety? Apple pie moonshine? The world must know Also, on a semi serious note, a film is coming out soon called Civil War. It’s meant to show what a Civil War would look like in the US if it happened now. You’ve always said how people who say they want this don’t really know what it would mean…would you watch the film and do a sort of movie review? Especially on if it shows what a modern day CW would actually be like
Shelley Mansker
Me too!
Deanna C
I picture a card catalog or excel spreadsheet for them to help him pick. perhaps they are stored in a file cabinet by genre or theme?
Deanna C
besides being attacked by Halloween decorations...
Deanna C
I feel just as you do. Our proud flag history wrecked. I have a lit up us flag on a 20 ft pole along with a black lives matter and a just vote blue signs in my yard.
Deanna C
what is your favorite genre and why? I find myself intensely curious as to what you were like as a kid btw. Also, do you have to buy sunscreen by the case? You are super fair-skinned but not sunburned but it does not sou d like you spend ALL of your time holed up in the studio. How do you do it?
Deanna C
I would LOVE to know your thoughts on that Beau.
Terran Baylor
Getting a few friends listening to particular post-RT Syrian journalist presenting a reason for Israel wanting to get rid of Gaza Palestinians for purposes of oil / gas exploration. Since Bibi presented some info etc. Also, it is presented that US is very interested in this and why the US is standing firm on Israel. My personal take is that this is propaganda from Russia and/or Iran - since the video doesn't benefit Palestinians - only anti-Israel. Without telling them my position - just said it sounded like conspiracy.
Chernabog
I just got a political text from someone advertisement for an ESA. It looks like a rebranded school voucher, any thoughts you've got would be interesting!
Stephanie
Hi Beau, I was wondering if you had any insight on project 2025.
Annbjorn Viddal
Hi! The failure of act on warnings before 9.11 and 1.6 has never been addressed, The Israelis blame the politicians to not take warnings from intel seriously. I find this discrepancy to somewhat "positive bias" in the us?
j p
I have a question about your caps. How many tan caps and patches do you actually have? Every video your cap looks brand new or barely worn. Inquiring minds (me really) want to know. Also I love Curious George so I smile every time I see the patch.
Mister Joshua
Dear Beau: What do you use to fortify yourself for watching the GOP debates? Deep breathing exercises? Cartoons? Real big mug of Irish coffee, hold the coffee? Or are you able to separate salient information for a story from existential dread and embarrassment without buying stressballs in bulk?
afro
Hey Beau, thank you for taking my question, which was really like three... Sorry to put you on the spot with such a personal question about your family, and it was a little convoluted too. I would definitely like to hear more about Old Man Jack! Maybe you could do a video about him sometime? Thanks again, take good care
Frances Wong
Did I hear correctly that you and Mrs Beau have welcomed a new baby to your home this year? If so, mavel tov!!!! Um, do you and Mrs Beau have a finite number of birth children in mind?!
Susan Elizabeth Cowdrey
I know I am late, but I would be interested in hearing your ideas about this: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/clutter-stats/ especially given that there is so much poor mouth whining by people. Thanks!
Sherry McBee
Do you use beard oil or anything?
Kim
Can we please talk about Taylor Swift getting 35k people to register to vote??
William Stefens
Beau, have you the Netflix series with Zac Efron Called Down to Earth that delves in bio diversity and culture? One segment involved a new healthy feed for cows shown to significantly reduce the methane they produce. Wondering of your thoughts on biodiversity and using american ingenuity to expand what has been started?
Suzy Berthelot
I want to shape it with my thinning shears 😆
Michael Masiello
Okay, so light-hearted: we know you’ve got a shelf full of Mark Twain. With all the research you do online and how little you sleep, do you ever get to read books for pleasure? And what are five or ten of your favorite books—don’t have to be anything political, just stuff you like m, that makes you happy or makes you think. Stuff you return to, maybe.
Jason Hadley
It's not fun or lighthearted so maybe this question is in the wrong place. But, do you think Biden should replace Garland with someone who knows how a microphone works, can respond to a ridiculous question from the right with a strong answer that doesn't make him sound like he's avoiding the truth, and answer questions from the left without a long meandering response that wastes valuable time? Every word he says sounds like a kid caught doing something wrong. At the very least can someone buy the man some hearing aids so he can HEAR Howdy Doody, sorry, Matt Gates asking trick questions and respond appropriately? Also, Hello. Are you bald under that hat? I am.

I have a little story I've wanted to tell Beau. I was born, raised, and attended college in California. I had an English teacher at college, her name was Hannie J. Voyles (nee Ostendorf). “She was a schoolgirl during the Nazi occupation and lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same school as Anne Frank, until the Ostendorf family moved to a different neighborhood.” [Amazon Bio] One day as I was leaving English Writing class, she asked me if I was from Oklahoma or Texas. I replied no. However, my mother was from Oklahoma and my father and three older brothers were born in Texas. As did the rest of my family, they came to California during the dust bowl/great depression. I proceeded to ask her why she thought such. Ms. Voyles, said that her clue was in the way I said, “why” and “way.” She also told me that I probably have some trouble with spelling due to the southern vowel sounds (see Wiki re Southern dialect/drawl). She was correct. To this day, I'm not the greatest at spelling, and although I'm not from the south, my kids always told me they knew when I was on the phone with grandma. Sometimes I think I detect a little “why” and “way” when you speak. Jus say’n.
Barbara K Baker
Not for this conversation, but I hope you talk about a man named Washington and “Let’s Say.”
Marie Bridgewater
Beau, when do you sleep?
Nicole Chelesté
Any advice for my 19 year old daughter who is struggling with deciding on a major? She is only a sophomore and taking different types of classes (English, social behavior, psychology, music) at the U of Utah but worries she is wasting her time and money. I tried to tell her that she has plenty of time to declare her major and whatever courses she takes is never wasteful. Education/learning is never wasted in my opinion. But I am apparently not convincing. She makes excellent grades, but her stress about this is through the roof at times. Where did you study Beau, and how easily did you decide on your major/path? Many thanks.
Marcus Johnson
Of the current Republican candidates, which in your opinion or should I say based on their record, would be the most likely to reach out across the isle and not completely shut out Dems?
Jacqueline Thijsen
How about a list of the new artificial reefs created in the neighborhood of Russia in the past year or so.
Meg the Sparkly Unicorn
If you could only choose from the following three items to have for breakfast for the rest of your life what would you choose - French toast, pancakes, or waffles?
tatiana
could you please do a video on the community disruption manual? i need to say a thing without saying it (for context i noticed a small issue between volunteer organisations here in UA has been blown up way out of proportion and the whole thing just reaks of devide and rule with some added make everyone doubt everything thrown in)
Andrea Smith
What can be done about the left's failure to message? As much as I hate 3-word chants, "Lock her up" is much more effective than an in-depth disquisition about the finer points of constitutional law and how it applies in the context of history to Trump's alleged guilt.
James Magruder
Also, flags! please say SOMETHING about taking our flag back from the ugly, the stupid and the crazy. I'm the guy flying the US Flag on top and a hippie peace sign ... or a Star Trek Federation flag .... or a Goonies Never Say Die flag underneath it. Just to make it clear that i love my country but i'm not with THOSE idiots.
James Magruder
I saw a news report the other day about all the container ships that are stuck on both sides of the Panama Canal because dry weather has left too little water for the canal to operate. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the inverse relationship between economic EFFICIENCY and economic RESILIENCE? I don't think I have heard you mention this before, but it seems like it would be right there in your wheelhouse.
Wcoasttigger (E Hodgson)
Have you experienced Hi Ren by Ren? It is a 9 minute art music video live performance. He is an independent UK artist. He has touched so many lives. He has a long back story. Video is about mental health and doubt. Its realky a Rollercoaster. But truly.... watch Hi Ren. Do not use captions...they are distracting wrong. Also watch til end. Pretty please. He just hit number 1 in pre-sales of his new album. I haven't found a new artist in decades that surprised me. He sings, raps, poetry, story teller, plays piano, guitar, drums. Does beats. Has fans from 20s to oldest 89 I saw. Love both channels. Thank you for all you and your team does.
ANDERSON CLARK
Was there any video you had trouble making because someone in the news did something so outrageous or ridiculous that you kept breaking up and couldn't stop laughing?
William Stefens
If you could be what you wanted to when you were a kid, what would it be?

I can't imagine that you have time for this, but do you enjoy movies? Do you have a favorite?
Alan Arnson
Spelled "turmp" on purpose.
Alan Arnson
Has anyone else noticed ways turmp is being stalked by DOJ and putin by international courts? turmps words being said from putin, vise versa. Could WWIII be happening already in very slow motion? You always say the poker game where everyone is cheating. Russia is and has been taking advantage of ideology wars, and cultural divides? Thank you far all you do!
Frederik
What really tickles your funny bone?
Eileen
Although I've come to believe that you would support your wife in any endeavor, I suspect that you have a very traditional marriage where she is the one who cooks, cleans, raises the kids and the horses for the most part, and does all of the shopping, errands, etc. for the family. T/F and please elaborate because I'm nosy!
Øyvind Wallentinsen
Any foreign countries you'd like to travel to? I'll buy you a beer if you come to Norway ;)
AnKeM
How safe do you feel in your community, for yourself and your family
Crystal Brock
Lmao, since it is always just Beau alone on camera this one would be funny as heck to see him try to answer.
Declan Feeney
Since you're asking for questions I'll throw my biggest dilemma at you - something I've been pondering for years, at least since Trump shattered any illusion I might have had. Maybe you'll have some sort of answer... One of the pillars of a working democracy is a well-informed public - after all without being informed how can you leverage your vote? When I was younger, I believed this was protected by the principles of "Freedom of expression" and a "Free press", but I'm now realising that unprincipled amoral people can lie ruthlessly to promote their agenda and use free speech arguments to protect themselves from any backlash. How do we get to the point where we simultaneously have both Freedom of expression (including the freedom to lie) and a well-informed public?
Vanessa Elkins
Do we get a title for your book? Or an eta? 😁

John Killary
Not sure if there's a question here, however, my Dad was in the Navy (Pacific) for 3 years. His best friend there was killed when a Kamikaze took out his gun port . His other best friend and Bro in law was killed on DDay+1. My Dad made me promise on his death bed that when we received Presidential honor letter that I would destroy it because he didnt want to go to his grave knowing another tyrants name would be signed under his engraved name. He said , "they died and I am going to soon but I want to rest in my grave knowing that I am in no way associated with DJ Trump period !! " Other then giving my son's eulogy it was easily the hardest thing that I have ever done !! John Killary
Gavin Abercrombie
How does one have a t-shirt for every theme? There must be hundreds, if not thousands.

I recently got into a massive blow out argument with a bunch of people in a leftest space I frequent about the war in Ukraine. I was ask ally on the side of Russia being an expansionist kleptocratic dictatorship that has no legitimacy to its claims of Ukrainian land this time or in 2012 with crimea. They fired back with so many Russian talking points about it belonging to Russia, Ukrainian being an illegitimate state infested with Nazis, and arguements that basically boiled down to “I’m a Leninist so if it belonged to the USSR it belongs to Russia now, never mind what Putin and the Kremlin are actively doing is standard far right dictortiship stuff.” (They also called me an “Anarcho-Bidenist” which was a legitimately good burn). My question boils down to this: why do you think our comrade on the left can be as drawn in to root for these regimes as some of the very people we are supposed to be fighting on the right? And how do we de-conspiracy our spaces so that we can have honest discussions about what is going on politically without being accused of the “CIA/Western Propaganda line”?
RGB
Does it get confusing/disorienting with a set that duplicates another place? Like "I swore I put the coffee cup here! Oh wait, it's back at the shop..."?
Kim
I have so many questions🙂. I will limit them, tho. 1. Does your family ever get frustrated with the time you devote to your channel? 2. Are there still plans to take your show on the road? Have a great day Beau and team!
alexander gaitan
Congrats on another play button Beau!
Jeff Sparks
People aren't talking much about the Biden administration's moves toward decriminalizing marijuana, even if it is probably only going to Schedule 3. It seems a seismic shift in federal drug policy to me, or am I missing something? I also would think it would give him a fair boost in polls among several demographics that typically vote blue.
Zoe Valk
You've done dating advice. What are the top 3 things you'd say are key to a happy, long lasting marriage? What things are absolutely detrimental? And what would you say you need to work more on yourself, when it comes to marriage?
