"It's very clear from the video."
"There's a whole lot we don't know, but that's a pretty important piece that I don't see getting discussed."
Deputies in Broward County beat up some kids, sparking a debate on the use of force.
A key moment in the video is when an officer pepper-sprayed a kid who appeared to be picking something up off the ground.
The focus should not only be on the excessive force used by one officer but also on the actions of the officer who pepper-sprayed the kid.

Nurses unite against a senator's opposition to mandatory breaks, revealing potential scripting by donors in American politics.

"There's so much money in it that it's that easy to find out why your representative, who is supposed to be your representative, is proposing the bills and amendments that they are and why they're voting the way they are."
"I think we should really take a look at how money is affecting our legislators."
Nurses are like the mafia in how quickly they spread news and defend each other.
A Washington state senator opposed a bill for nurses' mandatory breaks, claiming they spend time playing cards.
The senator's top campaign contributor is the Washington State Hospital Association.
The hospital association posted about unintended consequences of the bill on April 8th.
The senator proposed an amendment limiting nurses to work 8 hours in a 24-hour period with no exceptions.
The hospital association claimed no knowledge of this amendment, suggesting possible scripting.
Beau questions the coincidence and suggests the senator might be parroting hospital association interests.
American politics are criticized for being influenced by money, where politicians act in favor of their donors.
The senator's actions raise concerns about legislators being swayed by financial interests rather than representing the people.
Beau recommends examining how money impacts legislators and their decision-making processes.

The U.S., especially the southern states, is embroiled in a cultural war between regressive and progressive factions.

Questions the essence of libertarianism, describing it as freedom within societal boundaries and complete deregulation.

Contrasts the belief that anyone can achieve greatness through self-improvement in an ideal society with the reality of inherited wealth among today's affluent.

Beau warns about the dangerous implications of whistleblowing and the limited options available due to lack of protection from the press, leading to potential loss of life by disclosing means and methods.
"The U.S. government, their big brother in 1984, and like Winston said, they get you. always get you."
"You can't go to the press. The press cannot protect you."
"But see, now that they're going to end up going to a foreign power, that reporter, he doesn't have that patriotism."
"We really need you to keep this secret. If you don't, this person will die."
"We need to set aside our desire for punishment when it comes to this."
Assange is in custody and will be prosecuted, tried, and sentenced in the federal system.
The focus should be on what future whistleblowers are learning from recent incidents involving Winter, Hammond, Karyaku, Snowden, and Manning.
Whistleblowers are left with limited options due to lack of protection by the press or anonymous leak methods.
Going to a foreign power becomes the only option for whistleblowers to disclose information.
The US press complies with the US intelligence community in protecting means and methods.
Disclosing means and methods can lead to serious consequences, including loss of life.
US media's compliance with intelligence services shifts focus from illegal activities to the leak itself.
The government's response to leaks should prioritize legal and moral behavior to prevent future incidents.
The battle between disclosure of activities like waterboarding and means and methods obtained from reports will have serious implications in counterintelligence wars.

"We don't have an immigration problem. We have a government regulation problem dealing with immigration."

"There's never been a democracy that hasn't committed suicide."
"Soldiers don't go die for a flag or a song. In theory, they go fight for an ideal."
"It's blindingly apparent, but people still support him."
Reports indicate the former Homeland Security Secretary resigned because she refused to continue breaking the law for Trump.

Beau explains the flaws of the U.S. drone program: secrecy, collateral damage, and breeding insurgency, urging for transparency and responsible use.

Beau questions the implications of cutting aid to countries and the government's role in controlling citizens' movement, urging caution in granting too much power to politicians.
"There are three Mexicos and Trump can't get any of them to pay for the wall."
"The power you grant to your favorite politician is going to be there when the politician you hate takes charge."
"Maybe nobody should have this kind of power."
Fox News mistakenly referred to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as "three Mexican countries," prompting jokes and confusion.
The decision to cut aid to these countries is concerning and may lead to more refugees, according to experts.
Beau disagrees with the experts, believing that cutting aid could allow the people to take control of their countries back.
The aid was cut because the countries didn't do enough to stop refugees from leaving, reminiscent of Cold War tactics.
This decision implies that the government should prevent people from leaving during difficult times.
Beau questions whether it's right for any government to have the power to restrict its citizens' movement.
