The interesting thing is I used to be able to come to the channel for wholesome masculine energy, and it was a bit of a lighthouse for me, keeping me grounded. And now instead it's wholesome feminine energy, that Beau had around the whole time and which is part of his world. I think it's the wholesome part that's most important, but I'm also noticing that being around wholesome feminine energy is good for me (I'm old enough to know that, though ;) ) Turns out it takes a village, and it was never about just only Beau as a 'one great leader', nor was that ever (EVER) what he wanted. But we still fit in the house Beau built, and I suspect it's proof against a lot of rain and heavy weather. I expect the real take-away is for us to go out and do likewise
“It’s Belle again.” I got all emotional and excited. You’re doing so great, and I think that intro rolled off the tongue PERFECT! So happy you’re finding your comfort with us. ❤
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn Even as someone that went through some public speaking courses and was a professional childrens' choir so was used to being on-stage I still find that it can be difficult in front of a crowd, and I've never had to go in front of a crowd the size of what this channel has attracted. That you've taken up the mantle with such a small amount of time to prepare is frankly amazing, even if you're still working out the specifics.
Beau and Belle are clever pseudonyms. Alliterative. Relevant to your geographical region and your relationship. I love when little things just work, y'know?
Do what you can, where you can, for as long as you can. And when you need one, take a break. Beau saying this years back unlocked something for me and It's been helping my work toward balancing a deep desire to be more directly involved with community and the socially anxiety that got (still gets) in the way. Beau, thanks for being a big enough person to take your own advice. Belle, I'm a fan going all the way back to your cake baking videos. ; ) You're voice has been an important one around the channels, great to "meet you." You rule. Big thanks to the whole team for keeping things rolling on so smoothly. I really value the work you all are doing. No less this week than last.
I actually squealed when you started by saying “Well howdy there it’s Belle again…” and then again when you basically said “nighty night, y’all”. You’re very clear in your messaging and different enough in your approach to present a nice complement to how Justin presents topics. Just as earnest, honest and passionate, but in some ways more clear in your messages. Frankly, I’m loving it, and finding you to be erudite, and firm yet questioning. You’re quite comforting and compassionate, while being clear eyed and focused. Thank you for stepping up both to protect Justin and to keep the flame alive. 💙💙💙
Yo, Mrs Beau, thank you again for stepping up! ❤ Tell other Beau to rest up and thank him for his years and years of hard work. It's not gone unnoticed in this MTG district in GA.
@victoriajohnson-parratt6975 That's seems to be the case, sadly. Yes, it should be obvious. Which it really is. So obvious that I feel slightly silly posting these words.
This channel is kinda getting known for supporting polls, even though there are massive issues with polling data this far from an election. Expect more of this.

Debate or not, I won’t be voting for someone who is a coward, a sexual abuser, a convicted criminal, and a would-be dictator. I have no doubts and don’t care about the polls. I’m voting blue all the way.
And SHAME on those who let the bully act like a mob boss. It should have been Country over Party. Instead, many chose to enable him - power, privilege, greed, white supremacy and imposing a false religion on others so women aren't even considered as anything but breeding stock.
At the end of the day the only poll that means anything is the election itself. We all need to remember the Democrats were leading in 2016 until they lost. Dont let that happen again.
My family always voted Republican, so that was how I voted. Then along came Trump. I knew exactly who and what Trump represented. No way was I going to vote for him. Changed my party affiliation to Democrat and have no regrets. Vote blue, our lives depend on it.
If he shows up or not, who cares? Let Grandpa Simpson sit at home, stewing over the debate not being about him. American politics have been about this narcissist for far too long. It's time to move past him, toward a future where we can actually fix the problems instead of having the same talking points in every election cycle.
Thank you! Imagine - the blessed, blissful PEACE of not waking up to what new he'll he has posted about overnight, and the algorithms FINALLY excluding him instead of having pop up in our news feed!

Somebody should get him the mental health care he obviously and desperately needs!
@@DarrylsB Mental health care helps people with mental illness, but I believe personality disorders are a different thing from mental illness. I don't think personality disorders are curable. Something's just wired wrong in there.
Very salient point.... His interviewers have a problem calling him out on that fact... Or at least those networks + producers do...(...in name of "access"..)
Trump is f'ing _terrified_ of Harris. A strong, intelligent, powerful, self confident woman of color he can't push around is a nightmare for him. Right now he's watching the wheels come off his mighty Trump train, and there's nothing he can do about it. I'd say the sweetest part of him losing this election is who he's losing it to. His post-election tantrums will be epic!
Mind boggling. Every country has its share of “weirdos”, it’s normal, but half the voting population willing to vote for a wannabe dictator who already tried a coup? On top of the criminal record, the racism, the immorality, the SA, the incompetence, the lunacy, the nepotism, the corruption and so on and on. Frigging unbelievable!
It really is pretty much just the world's dumbest cult. They can't ever confront or admit to what a disgusting wretch that gremlin is, his total lack of policies going all the way back to his 2015 campaign, the only he has ever exhibited across his entire life are his willingness to slap his name on absolutely anything for a nickel and his constant ability to fail at everything, ever (but to usually fail upwards, because these people are remarkably easy to impress and con money out of). Let alone admit Dear Leader s the walking embodiment of every single thing parents taught their children was awful and unacceptable for literal decades. So we're stuck with it simply being the world's dumbest cult.
I have heard it said that self respect and being proud is used by some folks who don't know or wont admit that they may just, in fact, be prideful and arrogant....
I just love that one of Beau's t-shirts is behind you. Always relevant as when he wore them. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen them in their entirety 😂😂😂
We came closest in the channel's first year in that delightful birthday cake video, where both participated but only one was onscreen. If you've never seen it, by all means look it up. A classic!
my husband was watching a few clips of news I picked out (he's not a news follower, watches a little bit of what I picked out once a week), he flat out asked, "are they just trying to lose at this point? Anyone who would vote for them needs their head examined"
Using Trump's own words aganist him.. poetic ! Now all your husband has to do is VOTE and he will be part of making history,; USA's first female president,? .. yeah, I did that 👏😎🎉
@@itsmeGeorgina oh he is, he learned his lesson even though he voted for Clinton the forever ago times he said when they called the election. "Well this sucks, but what's the worst that can happen? It's only 4 years....." He's been eating crow ever since and I haven't been letting him forget it either.
Oh, they know who he is; as Beau has said on more than once occasion, "The cruelty is the point." They support him because he gives them permission to be their own worst selves.
His cult has hero worship. That's why he doesn't need to communicate effectively and they photo shop his face on the bodies of Hollywood heros. His political rallies look like a Jimmy Buffet concert. Albeit without the happy vibes.
Loving your down to earth comments, Miss Belle Beau. I watch from Australia, and I am grateful that you point out the obvious because obviously, the cult are still enthralled. Keep it up, and my best to Beau. 🩵🦘
Yep. Polls reflect the views of the people willing to talk to the pollsters and answer honestly. A lot of people either don't answer their phones if they don't know the number, hang up if there's dead air on the other end when they pick up, or hang up when the person on the other end identifies that this is a poll.
@@donaldwert7137 I don't answer weird numbers. Too many insurance peddlers call me. So I don't know if polls have called me. I do keep getting texts from the NC Democrats even though I moved to VA a year ago. But I tell them to stop because it's incredibly annoying to get political texts when I'm working, usually under a house. So they're not getting my opinion but the Dems will get my votes even though I'm independent.
lol….thank you, Belle. Loved the side eye when telling us about old 45’s ‘brilliant’ statement about him not doing the debate. This goes way beyond weird. 😆. Thanks for talking about all this. It boggles the mind what the next couple of months might bring us. Hope you are taking your vitamins!
I can tell you're really getting your "sea legs" with this video. Finding that balance between using your own voice and staying consistent with the feel from Beau's past videos must be a tough needle to thread. Tell your Beau that we all miss him, but if he tries to come back before he's well rested you have my full support to chase him off with a stick. 😁
I'm glad she called his bluff and called him out. I really don't know if he's going to have the courage to show up. She scares the crap out of him and i dont think he can cope with the humiliation.
Also, you are totally kicking bum! You sound fantastic, and you're settling into the rhythm perfectly. It's nice to hear another lady with a southeastern drawl speaking eloquently and with calm clarity. 😊
I think he'll eventually show up, he can't afford not to. He'll look too weak, but just like with Biden, he'll prep ample excuses as to why he might lose or not look good before hand.
Yeah Belle, you go girl! We love you here in Bellingham, Washington. And we love Beau ! All our best wishes to you both. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful updates, great info gathering and no fancy lighting. Such great work!! Thanks again, Bill and Leah in Bellingham.
Your point about debates not being self-serving is so well taken. And this self-serving point of view is how Trump operates with everything. However it’s not a sustainable means of operating. Eventually it will serve to destroy him.
What a testament to both Mrs Beau and the team, making what could have been a very rough transition almost seamless. You guys are CRUSHING it! I like how you are finding your own voice while retaining the spirit of the channel. I miss beau, naturally, but not nearly as much as I would have imagined. We got a less hairy version of him. And I hope he can rest up and slowly (yeah, right) get back into the helping and charity work after a long and well deserved rest. I get that making videos will not happen for a long time, if ever. I am no workaholic, but I do tend to get lost in projects to the exclusion of self-care, so I can imagine the toll the channel must have taken on him. I wish Beau the best.
Thank you, Ms. Beau, for doing a great job. Make sure not to burn yourself out either. Much appreciation for both of you and your no-nonsense discussions
Three people I watch and enjoy for their calm, even-keel, positive outlook scaled back or stopped this week. It costs them too much in a variety of ways. Least of all their physical and mental health. Rather tough to take.
"That's the type of stunning insight that Trump is known for..." Either Belle and Beau share a sense of humour, or she spent a loooong time around him, as that was a line that had a familiar feel but from a different voice. (and exactly the kind sardonic remark that has kept me coming back to this channel since the beginning of Covid) Well done Ms Belle, keep it up.
I'm actually the more sarcastic of us, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum and slowly let y'all see it. Don't want to make too many changes all at once.
I can tell you're warming up to it and getting more comfortable than you already were. Given your profession, I am willing to bet your bedside manner is amazing. Thank you, Belle.
I truly cant believe we are having to go through all this with a guy who has proven to be quilty of different things in court. What is wrong with our country that this circus is allowed to be?
Enjoying your videos Ms Belle! Thank you for carrying on quality content. This channel has helped keep many of us well informed and grounded during these crazy times. My best to Beau. And tho he is missed I hope he’s prioritizing taking good care of himself. Blessings to you both
Beau I hope you get much deserved break. Mrs Beau, you are doing great. I think I speak for all of us, we appreciate the sacrifice you have both made to deliver a balance of though on evolving stories, and the stakes for our democracy.
Belle, you are so great. I look forward to all your videos. Great job taking over for Beau. I hope he gets well and takes the time he needs. In the meantime, I’m enjoying your take
The Bulwark has really been living up to its name. I hope they will continue to be the strong defense against MAGA that the country needs, along with organizations like Republican Voters Against Trump, Republicans for the Rule of Law, and The Lincoln Project, all of which have:endorsed Kamala Harris.
The change was a little jarring, I really appreciate the upload frequency, backdrop and hat/logo and quality content consistency! Much love to Beau, Belle and the crew
I like this alot, watching someone rapidly getting better and more confident for every video is such a joy even if it is vicariously. Just imagine the microphone/camera being a person in the room, it works. Peace
Hey, Belle ❤ I think this is pretty insightful. He’s going to need to appear to be able to debate her or wear that he was too chicken to do so. But I also don’t think he can stand up to the rigors of the campaign against her until November. He and Vance can’t put a foot right because they only left themselves wrong places to go. That’s on them, and it maybe worked in an election cycle in which women felt underpowered or underrepresented. No more.
I agree with you. Dark Brandon needs to keep getting wins while Kamala and surrogates keep hitting hard. The GOP cannot handle two strong fronts coming at them.
Ms Belle is finding her stride. Beau, we love you. You left the channel in great hands. Please rest as long as you like. You've more than earned it.
I love that this channel is more resilient than a particular individual; she has transitioned so seamlessly into the role thus far and the community feels stronger than ever.

Yeah Belle, you go girl! We love you here in Bellingham, Washington. And we love Beau ! All our best wishes to you both. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful updates, great info gathering and no fancy lighting. Such great work!! Thanks again, Bill and Leah in Bellingham.
Thank you so much!!
Ms Belle, I find myself looking forward to our little chats. Please don’t overwork yourself. I think we can all adjust to the new schedule.
Your point about debates not being self-serving is so well taken. And this self-serving point of view is how Trump operates with everything. However it’s not a sustainable means of operating. Eventually it will serve to destroy him.
Oh, you called yourself Belle! ❤🥰🥰 And your natural voice is coming out, so nice to hear you.
Thank you for the information, as usual
Belle of the Fifth Column? Love it! Thanks to all of you for this terrific platform!
Loving it. I hope some clever artisan will come up with an appropriate bell to sit on the back shelf, perhaps with a bow on it. I like puns.✌🖖
What a testament to both Mrs Beau and the team, making what could have been a very rough transition almost seamless. You guys are CRUSHING it!
I like how you are finding your own voice while retaining the spirit of the channel. I miss beau, naturally, but not nearly as much as I would have imagined. We got a less hairy version of him. And I hope he can rest up and slowly (yeah, right) get back into the helping and charity work after a long and well deserved rest. I get that making videos will not happen for a long time, if ever. I am no workaholic, but I do tend to get lost in projects to the exclusion of self-care, so I can imagine the toll the channel must have taken on him. I wish Beau the best.
Well howdy there late night and early morning internet people!
Always been a night owl; power to the people, right on!
👋🤓🌍🌎
Hi ! ❤ you're doing awesome! Thank you for taking over. I'm glad this channel continues.
Ditto
Detrumpification now 💯⚖️🇺🇸🎯🔵
It will be wonderful to not have to talk about that orange lump of lard anymore when Harris wins!
I agree, did you see what the prisoner exchange, caused, less Trump, yes, will all the media stop talking about him!
Detrumpification will happen
Thank you SO MUCH for being YOU! ☺☮
I didn't realize there was a Belle of the Fifth Column. Awesome!
Mz Beau, loved the "goodnight" !
You rocked !
Love you Belle, but there's a Beau sized hole in my heart....
It may help to watch some of his videos. Some topics will stay actual
Bell is just the sweetest but I am really struggling without Beau.
@@thechallengers4572Belle said it is okay to email Beau. Also, he is reading the comments.
Thank you, Ms Belle. Hugs and good wishes to Beau. You both are gems😍💙💙💙
Lets go Belle!
Good Evening Fellow Travelers. 👋
I like the name Belle

Thank you, Ms. Beau, for doing a great job. Make sure not to burn yourself out either. Much appreciation for both of you and your no-nonsense discussions
Three people I watch and enjoy for their calm, even-keel, positive outlook scaled back or stopped this week. It costs them too much in a variety of ways. Least of all their physical and mental health. Rather tough to take.
Thanks Belle and crew 😊.
"That's the type of stunning insight that Trump is known for..."
Either Belle and Beau share a sense of humour, or she spent a loooong time around him, as that was a line that had a familiar feel but from a different voice.
(and exactly the kind sardonic remark that has kept me coming back to this channel since the beginning of Covid)
Well done Ms Belle, keep it up.
I'm actually the more sarcastic of us, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum and slowly let y'all see it. Don't want to make too many changes all at once.
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn
Beautiful AND sarcastic? Too good to be true 😃👍🦘🇦🇺
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn
Well I can't speak for everyone.
But I loves me some sarcastic homour ... so please play on. :)
@@davidcat1455 I'm a kiwi, it looks like you're an aussie ... we share a national love for sarcasm.
Loved the subtle bit of sarcasm. You have really found your voice and I am here for it.
Harris 2024 👍🥳🎆🇺🇲
I’d have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when they told him she was ahead in the polls.
Not unless you want to be covered in ketchup! hah
But, really, do you think anyone is gonna tell him he's behind??
IKR!!
Trump's spineless minions will continue to assure him he's crushing it, right up until all his pet rats abandon his sinking ship.
@@feralhuman beat me to it!
@@theshadowoftruth7561 You can get the next comment first, ok?
It's so cool to see how fast you grow into your new position as the face and voice of the channel. You got this!
yay she said it!!!!!! 😸💟
I can tell you're warming up to it and getting more comfortable than you already were. Given your profession, I am willing to bet your bedside manner is amazing. Thank you, Belle.
As always spit on analysis. Thank you Belle
I am truly enjoying the feminine voice. I thought I'd miss Beau, but you are a worthy replacement. ❤
I love MS. Beau and her videos. Thanks
0:41 - "... And that's when it got ... weird ..." Brilliant!😊
Thank you Lady Belle for navigating the ship and providing a smooth thoughtful voyage for all to enjoy.
I love that! Lady Belle…. 👏🏻
I view this channel like more of a lifeboat than a ship. When the news is bad and I feel as though I'm sinking, I come here for more peaceful waters.
I truly cant believe we are having to go through all this with a guy who has proven to be quilty of different things in court. What is wrong with our country that this circus is allowed to be?
Yup, he shouldn't even be able to run to begin with and its extremely silly we're going through this bullshit again.
Thanks Belle!💙💙
Howdy Belle
Hey Ms. Beau and internet folks.
👋 Y'all sleep well and dream good 🤗✊
Doing great Belle 👍
Nighty night Longhair!
Thank you Belle, you're doing awesome. I miss Beau but we're in good hands.
Belle, you are knocking it out of the park. Keep it up 😃
Beau, we all hope you're feeling better. Enjoy your well earned break/retirement/whatever
t rump isn't aware of anything.
Too true!
Enjoying your videos Ms Belle! Thank you for carrying on quality content. This channel has helped keep many of us well informed and grounded during these crazy times. My best to Beau. And tho he is missed I hope he’s prioritizing taking good care of himself. Blessings to you both
I'm glad you're on this channel Mrs Beau
Beau I hope you get much deserved break. Mrs Beau, you are doing great. I think I speak for all of us, we appreciate the sacrifice you have both made to deliver a balance of though on evolving stories, and the stakes for our democracy.
💙 Self serving is the only motivation he knows.
Well said,Belle.
Thanks Belle! Best one yet delivery-wise, you are getting more natural with it.
🔥🔥🔥 Preach it!
Belle, you are so great. I look forward to all your videos. Great job taking over for Beau. I hope he gets well and takes the time he needs. In the meantime, I’m enjoying your take
Bell of the fifth column. Has a nice ring to it.
“Vote for the prosecutor, not the perpetrator.” - Sarah Longwell
The Bulwark has really been living up to its name. I hope they will continue to be the strong defense against MAGA that the country needs, along with organizations like Republican Voters Against Trump, Republicans for the Rule of Law, and The Lincoln Project, all of which have:endorsed Kamala Harris.

You are crushing it!
Hey Ms.Belle ✌️
Good night Denise!
@@victoriajohnson-parratt6975
Night Victoria ✌🏻😴
The change was a little jarring, I really appreciate the upload frequency, backdrop and hat/logo and quality content consistency! Much love to Beau, Belle and the crew
Madam Belle🌹 it’s going greatly!keep up the awesome work,Blessings!
Ms Belle I am enjoying your comments. Beau has handed the channel over to a worthy shepherdess 👍
I like this alot, watching someone rapidly getting better and more confident for every video is such a joy even if it is vicariously. Just imagine the microphone/camera being a person in the room, it works.
Peace
Mrs. Beau is doing her thing!
Hey, Belle ❤ I think this is pretty insightful. He’s going to need to appear to be able to debate her or wear that he was too chicken to do so. But I also don’t think he can stand up to the rigors of the campaign against her until November. He and Vance can’t put a foot right because they only left themselves wrong places to go. That’s on them, and it maybe worked in an election cycle in which women felt underpowered or underrepresented. No more.
I agree with you. Dark Brandon needs to keep getting wins while Kamala and surrogates keep hitting hard. The GOP cannot handle two strong fronts coming at them.
Women "understand the assignment."
Come on, men, get in formation.
FREEDOM
HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT 2024
Don’t get comfortable with published poll results…
Don’t forget to vote!
That is one thing I wish was mandatory.
Good Night Mrs Beau Peeps 😂
Good night Gerrit!
BB Peeps. Belle's Beau Peeps. 😉
@@debrajohnson9489ohh! 😁👍👋 I love the alliteration! 👍🏿👍🏻
Thanks Belle!
Thank you Belle. Keep up the good work.
I'm convinced whenever trump says he is winning in the polls it consists of him polling himself and no one else
tRump 🤮 again! 🇨🇦Thank you, Southern Belle and team. Excellent, as always. 🇨🇦
Good night Crystal. Sleep well and dream beautiful dreams!
I looked up "southern belle". It's roots aren't good, but I guess we can redefine it? ❤ Howdy fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦
Can you guys please please please, in spite of Trudeau’s shortcomings, not let Little Pee Pee (Pierre Pollievre) become your PM next year?
