Reba pulled a “I am not angry but I am disappointed” a technique used by parents effectively. Hopefully it works. I only wish Fred Rogers was alive to say he was disappointed
All of the above. Plus I'd really love to hear Carlin go off about the whole thing. He was gold.
I hear you about Mr. Rogers. Unfortunately, the haters would probably call him a freedom hating communist, though. You can never win when arguing with a bigot, you can only hope to convince the onlookers.
Exactly what my Mother would say, then tell me to cut a switch from the tree.
Unfortunately the GOP has NO SHAME!!
I literally shuddered at the thought of Mr. Rogers saying the words "I'm disappointed" in that soft, loving, patient tone of his.
I was born in 1963 and I lived through tiny Tim getting married in a wedding dress on TV and 80s glam-rock and flip wilson being Geraldine we never had a problem during the 60 years of my life and all the sudden all the Republicans with a tiny bit of majorities in statehouse, this is what they're spending it on. A non-existent problem that never existed
Tiny Tim was not in a wedding dress. Flip Wilson played Geraldine.
@@maryknight4109You better "watch it sucka...as you tip toe, through the tulips." 🙃
Hah. I forgot all about Tiny Tim. Tiptoe through the tulips, etc., never hurt anyone.
The joke was Tiny Tim marrying a woman.
@@maryknight4109 he absolutely got married in real time it was the most-watched television show in the decade and he absolutely one-hundred-percent wore a long white wedding dress in this live TV event I watched it. In fact the whole family watched it.
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap" is practically a drag queen manifesto
Devine quote?
@@tenofivelips From Dolly herself.
@@tygrkhat4087That's right. Thanks.
Dolly Parton quote
Dolly Parton once entered herself in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest... and LOST! I absolutely love her sense of humor!
"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant." Elie Wiesel.
He understood the nature of the problem.
The same one identified by MLK, not the problem of the voices of enemies but rather the problem is with the silence of "friends."
There's a name I haven't thought of for a long time.
The first time I read "Night", I was about 9 years old. I spent about 6 hours at the foot of my bed that night running in place JUST to see if I could have come close to surviving some of the things they were put through. I remember going to sleep after thinking that wasn't so bad... then waking up with floppy tubes full of PAIN instead of legs.
The sentiment is entirely true though. Throughout history (and especially American history) it has taken an overwhelming majority to actually change things. Far more than 50% of people were in favor of ending slavery, and yet it still took a Civil War to finally get it done. Far more than half believe women should have the right to choose, and yet not only did it take a while to get that legal right, but then it got taken away WHILE IT STILL HAD POPULAR SUPPORT!
Far more than half the population wants sensible gun reform, nationalized health care, an increased minimum wage, a reformation of campaign finance, and a plethora of other things, and yet because a vast swath of the population refuses to even stand up to be counted, let alone put voice and action to their stance unless they are personally affected, nothing gets done.
That quote jumped in to my head as well.
So did the "1st they came for..."
We need to defend everyone
@@michaelburk9171 Martin Niemoller - and we must, now and always! 🙌
When the normally quiet person speaks their mind the loud folk miss those thoughts at their peril.
🎯🎯
I've no doubt that both Dolly and Reba know what it's like fighting for recognition as artists not merely sex symbols or lesser than their male counterparts.
To Reba-You go girl!!!! The majority of us love the amazing artistry that goes into an incredible drag show. Even people who have never been to one respect the performers and do not want a bunch of stupid interfering laws.
@@vonakenyon7981I think you're right. I've never been to a drag show and doubt I ever will.
But damn it takes dedication, work, commitment, and creativity to pull off a drag persona. And I have nothing but respect for drag performers.
I feel about the same towards opera as well.
Queens worthy of their crown ❤❤
Supporting those queens. Thank you.
Imagine if the Republicans put as much effort in helping people as they do hurting Democracy.
I know, right? All that time, money, and energy poured into hate. Think of what could be done with that.
@@garryferrington811 Yet they cry about "cancel coulture". 😂
@@davidpaul6656
They only get mad when their bullying has consequences. Like all bullies.
The cruelty is point.
Then they wouldn't be 21st-century Republicans.
The actual target isn't drag. Drag is a means to an end. The purpose of banning drag is to ban "man in a dress." Who else gets referred to as "men in dresses?" Trans women. That's the endgame for all of this.
That's the opening game. The end game is total control, a dictatorship. They'll never be satisfied with anything less.
Made this a couple of years ago because it was clear to me all of this BS was being created decades ago..
First republicans came for the trans people. I did not vote them out because I wasn't trans.
Then republicans came for the pro-choice people. I did not vote them out because I was not pro-choice.
Then republicans came for the progressives. I did not vote them out because I wasn't a progressive.
Then republicans came for the second amendment. But there was no one left to speak for those who had helped all of this happen.
OH that is not the "End game", just the next step on the path of oppressing anyone not like them.
Meanwhile, the fundy christian cisgender heterosexual males in Tennessee to ZERO to prevent cisgender heterosexual males from raping children: fundy christian pastors, fundy christian teachers, fundy christian republicans, etc. Which, of course, has been the sole source of predators and abusers of children.
"It's not a war a drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, please remember that at all times"
Queens of country music pushin' that Overton window to the Left. I'm here for it.
It's not really a matter of left or right, but they are pushing it more towards progressive.
💯 Listen and learn, people! 🙌
❤❤❤
@@Happy_Broom Aka, reality.
Loretta Lynn, did the same in her day.
"I have a feeling that it's going to be a busy news week." 😂
And so drily stated, it made crackers look moist and inviting.
A lot of entertainment for the world.
Yeah, that was my reaction, too 🤣
Expecting 3 people to riot in NY
That makes me stupidly happy. I grew up listening to Reba and I'm gonna be honest I was bracing for the worst. I am stupidly happy to find out that when she broke her silence she chose kindness.
LynnNexus, same here 👍 !
She chooses kindness and common-sense, which isn't very common in the GOP.
I would correct you that you are *intelligently* happy. Conservatives, on the other hand, might be stupidly angry.
(Yes, I know what you meant, but semantics can be fun.)
I'm a long time Reba fan. I know she is or was pro gun so I was a little worried. She is really a very down to earth person, so it makes sense she would come out on the side of good. ❤
@@Nembula being pro-second amendment makes sense, as long as you're not pro-irresponsible-gun-nut-@$$hole..
All it takes to fight evil is for good people to stand up and say something against it. If good people remain silent, then evil wins. I think Reba realized this.
the saying is: All it takes for evil to win is for good people to say nothing.
It does NOT work in the inverse. Something must be DONE, not just said.
Being a musician myself, I've been sooo disappointed at the many musicians are more arfraid of losing a few conservative fans than standing up for freedom. They should all be super ashamed of themselves. I hope they all feel really stupid when they realize they lost more fans that are good people than the few bigots they didn't lose.
@@jcspoon573 It kinda does work here. Reba saying something IS doing something. And I know what the saying is, I wasn't trying to quote it, I was expressing the sentiment. No need to be pedantic.
Dolly's an angel and she sings like one too.
Thank goodness for a judge who does support the constitution
The queenstitution is protected under the US constitution. They better keep that up ❤❤❤
I just wondered if the KKK would be banned in their white dresses they always wear.
Thank goodness there are still good judges
Until people stop being okay with living under a different set of rights depending on the composition of the bench, unless it's explicitly clear, which this is, judges will continue to legislate from the bench.
One of the Greats from the early years of TV:

Milton Berle has entertained Millions.
“Busy news week”. Understatement.
Love Reba. Love Dolly. Let's have more of their soft, unwavering, strength in standing up to this insanity.
I remember Chelly Wright being ostracized by the fans for coming out as a lesbian. Country music has come a very long ways in a short period of time! Thank you Dolly & Reba!
It kinda feels like "walking the walk". Cuz I grew up on country in the 90's and early 2000's, and I'm just sitting here thinking "... This stuff is right there in the lyrics, what the hell kinda country were they listening to that this is new?"
Brandy Carlile is quite open and quite a good musician. She's done duets with Dolly too.
@@elhoward7440 Brandi is folk; it often gets clumped in with country but the politics are closer to punk... Woody Guthrie literally wrote "this machine kills fasc!sts" on his guitar.
as did Ty Herndon and BIlly Gilman when they came out as gay. Ty credited Chely with giving him the confidence to do so.
I really feel for poor Maren Morris... her tweet replies are full of the WORST kinds of 'people' just spraying pure vitriol at her, all for being a stand-up human being.
Yaaay! The Queens 👑 are aligning! 🎉♥️🤍💙
The old joke about country music was if you'd play it backwards, you'd get your truck back, your job back, your spouse back... if Dolly or Reba can help get some people their lives back, play 'em forward and backward 24/7 - been a fan of Dolly Parton a long time for a number of reasons.
🎯🏆🎯👍 Her charity work has grown to have a long reach (and my favorite part of her legacy she's built, followed by how hard she worked to "create her own breaks" in the country music biz - against stout headwinds -) 🏆💪🏆♥️
She's just awesome.💖
Dolly is the modern patron saint of our *country,* not just country music! 🙏
🎉Go Queens!🎉 🤣
😅That’s right!
@@Andrea.1tree LOL! ❤

Hey hon🇺🇦🇦🇺🇺🇸😃👍
@@davidcat1455 👋🏼😄 Hi David 🐾💙!
@@Andrea.1tree
How’s my favourite Marine ? Olena was asking about you this morning. I told her I hadn’t spoken to you in a while. She gave me exactly the same look she gives Alleycat when she thinks he hasn’t been paying attention.( Usually involves muddy paws and clean furniture )😺🇺🇦🇺🇸🇦🇺
When a parent says they're "disappointed in you" it cuts deeper than being grounded. Reba means business.
I have gained a lot more respect for Reba.
Edit: For future reference, Reba's career mostly spanned my early child hood. So I have only known her music. My apologies.
Since 1991 she has been a loud proud supporter of gay rights we shall be free by garth brooks started it all she has been interviewed many times and has even supported gay marriage at least that long it's one of the few political issues she speaks out on
Me to I’m Happily Surprised? I agree with Beau I have never Heard Reba engage in Politics. Dolly (Angel) andTaylor Swift Yes.
@@speurtighearnamacterik8230 now I need to see that video - got a link?
@@truecrimelover2022 if I'd known about that in 1991, it might have helped me reject certain inherited prejudices. 🙌
the republican Taliban
"The Queens of country music have aligned with the Queens of cabaret."
Yes! I love it. Perfect zinger, Beau. I love your way with words. LOL.
I'm 43, and been a fan of Reba's my whole life. I have NEVER seen her make a comment about ANYTHING political in my life. Yeah, that she said this is BIG.
I'm not a country music person, but I've loved Dolly since the movie "9 to 5" and Reba since "Tremors," which was a pretty awesome comedy-horror. I'm really grateful they're sticking up for our queens.
Tremors was awesome! She sang the song in the closing credits too, "Why Not Tonight"
If the repugs wish they had class, there's a couple of superb role models right there!💐
I remember Tremors. lols
Nice to see I'm not the only one.😊
Go, Reba! On a wholly separate note, things must be pretty bad for her to break her ironclad rule. G'night and sweet dreams from another part of the world, All!
It was important to her.
My god, to have literally got under Reba's skin so bad she finally said something political you know you have to be beyond lost from the beaten path. I never thought I'd live to see the day. I can literally hear her scathing tone telling lawmakers "Your momma raised you better"
reba had a whole sitcom in the 00s where the "bad guy" characters were rich conservatives. wow, people really need things made explicit to see what's right in front of them, huh?
@@allyson87 If her public attitude was "My job is to entertain you, not tell you how to think", that could be chalked up to her just being a professional.
@@DerMoerpler Yeah, maintaining a professional image is one reason many artists don't make their politics overt, especially if saying their position might put them or their careers in jeopardy. It works because most people have a very shallow understanding of politics that's limited to elections, parties, and false dichotomies. However storytelling is an inherently political act; politics are embedded in every story as well as the choosing of which stories to tell. The few things I remember about her show are very political, as are many of her songs. I'd guess she's at least as "left" as the Democratic Party, maybe somewhere around Katie Porter.
It's such a pleasure to hear Beau giving his opinions on so many different topics.....this channel deserves to have way more than a million subs!!!
Beau would probably say "steady the course."
Paul Jansen of course you are right. Hope your Monday went well !
@@tombrown4683 it did, Tom! hope that it does for you as well!
I consider Beau my guru. I can't prove that anything he has ever said is wrong, although I beleive he admits it when he is wrong about something.
“We’re all born naked, and the rest is drag!” -Her Majesty Ru Paul
Howdy! I’m all for the queens!
one of my favorite stories I heard about Dolly is she secretly entered into a Dolly Pardon look alike drag contest, and lost and she thought that was the funniest thing in the world
🤣🤣🤣 that's awesome!
That drag ban was just the shot across the bow. They have enough hate to keep shooting for years.
If you're still firing across the bow, you haven't committed to engagement yet, you're probing, trying to provoke a reaction. I say the best response is a broadside, they've had decades to negotiate.
Drag performers and transgender people are the first and second they're coming for.
If they can take out these groups they keep taking
Because it's easier to divide people instead of instituting policies that actually make positive changes. :(
Nice to hear that Reba's got her head screwed on right enough that she sees the scapegoating for what it is. As for the judge's ruling, it's a small win in what is going to be a long siege.
Nashville isn't quiet yet either. There are student protests going on and reps that are standing with the protestors are being removed from committees and threatened with being removed from their elected positions.
Yeah, it's getting scary there.
I hope Beau talks about this. Kinda surprised this wasn't in the video.
@Dale Ehrhart I literally came hear looking for that video after I heard about it this morning!
@@mystreteacher The news was just coming out when this video was released and it was probably recorded well before that. I'd be surprised if something doesn't come out soon - but it's likely to be a busy news week/
Love it when he smiles!!
indeed! 😀
If you did not see last nights CMA awards, held in Austin, one of the female performers had drag backup dancers. Country music is changing indeed
Canceling Dolly, Reba and country music in 3...2...1
With Reba all you have to know about where she falls is just watching how she behaves in general ❤
Correct and the body of her work including the benefits she’s worked.
seriously, between her lyrics and her tv show, if people think Reba's far right conservative, they need to check their biases and stop leaning so hard on stereotypes... but if that wasn't enough, look at who she associates with. i know there's possibly family divorce drama, but Kelly Clarkson is/was one of her closest mentees
now i'm trying to remember they show where she was dressed as a general.
Let the queens be queens.
Dolly Parton wrote this inspiring little book called "Dream More". One of the adorable stories that she talks about is that she entered a Dolly Parton look alike drag show and she lost😂 if you're interested in getting this book I highly recommend getting it on audio because she reads it herself. She does such a beautiful job and is so entertaining.
God save the queens!
Decades ago, studying in London, some Brit friends took me out to a pub with a Friday night drag show. It was huge bawdy fun, gifted drag singers and comics, bawdy but nothing harmful or corrupting. Good beer, too.
I don't understand how this guy doesn't have WAY more subscribers
I think a lot of people see what he looks like, think he's just a typical trump-loving repube, and block the channel without ever listening to any of his videos. It is a shame. But those same looks can get the racist repube to watch one of his vids unintentionally, because Beau looks like one of them. And maybe that vid will resonate and start the repube on the long path to redemption.
Honestly I kinda remembered him having even more. And his Followership is indeed quiet sizeable, hes not that small.
@@Oatmeal-Savage repude?? what is that?
@@jayf8308 Looks like they actually used "repube", I'm guessing it's meant to be a short form for Republican but for me I'm picturing someone who's fallen behind with their manscaping, and so now they're re-pubing hahaha
It's probably tied to the same reasons the US doesn't have more subscribers to the concept of a round globe. Did you know that only 2/3 of Americans are convinced of that idea? I my jaw has been on the floor since I first heard that fun little statistic, and just the possibility was far too depressing for me to look it up and confirm.
I did NOT have hearing "I'm dissapointed" from Reba on my 2023 bingo cards. But, I am certainly glad to be here for it.
I am a big fan of both of these ladies. So pleased that they are supporting fellow entertainers. There was no problem until the GOP needed more folks to kick down.
"...going to be a busy news week." And I'm here for it!
That's a rebel yell for Reba! haha
YUP!! 😁👍
You Sir have the best content on the web. Your stuff should follow the national news, on all networks. Keep it going, Sir! Hoorah!
I've been a fan of Reba's for a long time. She's never been one to voice her political opinion, but she has always been on the side of decency. Treat people right, be kind to all, and kick the ass of anyone who treats you wrong.
Thank you, Reba!!!
Perfect shirt.
Time marches on, eventually there will be no sideline.
Everyone will decide where they stand.
Hoping we'll see enough stand against evil, but we cannot rely upon it.
Even so, this is good news.
The way I protect myself from Churches is I don’t go in them. If you feel Cabarets are a place you need to protect yourself from you do not need to go in them.
All our wonderful Queens are Royalty 💜💛🧡💕🌹🥂
Holy cats! If Reba even said ANYTHING on the subject of politics it'd be like you or I throwing a hissy fit right in the middle of Main Street, NEKKID!
So glad to hear Dolly is being vocal although not a surprise there. She has a loving, accepting heart.
You said two queens and I immediately knew who the other was. I remember the feels I got from the video of her cover of Bobbie Gentry's Fancy. Lady don't mess. She might not talk politics, might not be as vocal as Dolly, but she don't mess.
Very happy to hear this. Dolly and Reba are class acts and down to earth.
Thank you for putting so much effort into making this video!👌
Hey, look, it's a sex spammer dude.
I have an internal alarm that goes off when I am watching Beau and I realize that a small positive change comes along…I just a laugh out loud. Your perspective is always appreciated. Thank you!
Watching this channel actually can make you a better person, if you put in the work. 😊
God Bless Dolly and Reba .I am sure many others.
Yes thank you to the judge who is willing to hold up the constitution.
You tell 'um Reba! There are tornadoes, floods, and various extreme weather problems that are going to make it difficult for agriculture communities to feed our nation - let alone the entire globe - because Ukraine can't plant!!! We have life and death issues in these communities.
Drag queens are some of their biggest fans. If I didn't go to drags shows I wouldn't have a clue what most of Reba's songs were.
Good to know at least SOME folks still have their head on the right way around

Howdy Folks!
Thank you Beau. Love these ladies.
Beau, thankyou! I loved that! And that is why we seem to treat them as our royalty. They may not be the 'best' of us, but they are 'of us'! 👍💐💖💙🥰✌
"The Queens of Country music have aligned with the Queens of Cabaret" Great line. LOVE IT!!
I'll always have time to listen when decent people speak their minds.
I agree with both of the queens, and all queen's in general!
Maybe not a whole lap, but I'll revel in any and every small victory. Hope has to come from somewhere.
Howdy Doug 👋😀✌️ ! Watch out for those falling trees. Need more good clear thinking folks - not less !!
All Hail the Queens - of Country Music & Cabaret!!!
This makes me hopeful for the South and country.
Aloha Beau 🤙
Aloha from Maui!
You know how when you turn on a kids show and the character in the show greets the audience and they all get happy about it?
“Howdy there internet people it’s Beau again” is that for us adults 😂
Thank you Reba and Dolly. I know how hard that must have been Reba but you chose kindness and that’s all anyone can ask. Have a great evening my fellow internet people.
LOVED your last line, but you knew we would. Atta boy!
There's an old expression, "Live and let live," that today's Puritans would be advised to consider. This applies to drag shows, to library books that might offend some (very few) readers, and ideas in general that question closed-minded attitudes. Sooner or later, all the "controls" put on ideas get broken down and discarded. The free market in ideas tends in one direction, and it definitely isn't toward authoritarianism. Some people are blind to this reality. Sucks to be them...
Great post. I've been struggling with how to say exactly that for a while. Brilliantly executed, and enormously eloquent. You've made my day, Sir.
Hello friends!
hey VTG!
Hello Tree Cutter Doug, happy Monday !
Nice conclusion there. Kudos to Dolly and Reba, and thanks for bringing this.
"the queens of country music and the queens of cabaret." A nice little turn of phrase.❤
I scrolled so long to find this comment. Thanks
Hell yeah Reba! It's about time people start speaking up. Glad she did.
When you have Reba saying that you're disappointing her?
Jeeeeeeez
Amen Reba! Let us focus on real problems! 👏💜
Thanks Beau, Reba and Dolly.
And God bless all the uglies that make us all shine next to them.
Say what you will about Tennessee; its politicians will never be able to crush the legacy of acceptance from Johny Cash! One of the few things I can say I am proud of in this state. Seriously if you ever have a chance, visit the Johny Cash Museum in Nashville; this guy's life is one hell of a story!

Girls gotta stick together.
Great closing line there, Beau. Thanks for putting this out there.
I always loved Reba and Dolly. Still do, but I used to too. Now for more than their music. They're in the "Good People" club.
God bless Reba!
Recently a British artist passed away, Paul O'Grady. He had a varied career but famously had a drag act as Lily Savage. If you like British humour and drag please search for this talent. I have always loved drag queens from the first time I heard a routine as a teenager.
Ok, your closing line was brilliant and made me laugh. Thank you. Love Reba and Dolly, so kudos to them for this.
Fun fact: Reba played Colonel Sanders in a few KFC commercials.
Oh yeah! Lol! Forgot about that.
there was always something about Reba that I liked. I even enjoyed her sitcom
I love both of those women!! They are giants not only in their field but as caring humans.
Brilliant insightful closing quip!
Be well & stay safe
Performer's perform , people be how they are, I love it, it's great some of us appreciate that.
Thank you Reba , Dolly , Beau .
Always good to hear that someone with an audience is standing with us against the fascists, when they are not yet being targeted. Save trans lives 🏳️⚧️, Drag is art!
How can one group of people decide to “sweep away people they don’t like “
