How a Stay-at-Home Mom Turned Into A National Figurehead in the Fight To Take Down the NRA

On December 14, 2012, Shannon Watts woke up like on any other day a stay-at-home mom, going about her normal morning routine as a mother of five children. She had no idea that by day’s end, she would have planted a seed that would turn into a national movement to end senseless gun tragedies in America. You see, Shannon Watts is not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom.

Of course, the fateful day in 2012 that changed Watts’ life forever was the the day that 20 children between the ages of six and seven-years-old, and seven adults, were killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. The shooting sparked a national outcry that produced the same tired platitudes and offerings of thoughts and prayers that have become cliche amongst politicians in America. But at the grassroots level, change was brewing and a movement had begun. At the helm of that movement…Shannon Watts.

Watts spoke to the Bros4America Podcast about the impetus for founding Moms Demand Action, a non-profit grassroots advocacy organization fighting for gun sense in America. It has become one of the leading grassroots movements in America and one of the most biggest in American history. It has a 90% success rate with killing bad NRA bills. It is a thorn in the sides of previous Bros4America #ShitholeoftheWeek honorees Wayne LaPierre and Dana Loetsch, who have attacked and needled and stalked Watts endlessly and personally.

The GOP Has Got To Go

And still, with a political system gripped by the influence of the National Rifle Association, and a ruling political party that makes up the top 50 NRA donees, little has been done to ensure that tragedies like Sandy Hook do not happen again. Indeed, five years have passed since the tragedy at Sandy Hook provoked tears from then-president Barack Obama, and Congress has failed to enact any meaningful gun control legislation.

In fact, one of Donald Trump’s first orders of business was to repeal one of the Obama-era executive actions that prevented the mentally ill from obtaining firearms.

“Totally unsurprising,” Watts told the Bros4America Podcast, before quipping “for a president who accepted 30 million dollars from the NRA.”

It is true that the level of spending by NRA was unprecedented during the 2016 election cycle, giving an astronomical 50 million dollars to mostly GOP candidates and causes, and most of which was dark unaccountable money allowed to bleed into our system.

And we now know, that money may have come from Russia. 

The Kids Of Parkland High School Are Spearheading a National Movement to Take Down The NRA. Behind Every Great Kid Is A Great Mom.

Recent shootings at Parkland High School in Florida have sparked the March for our Lives movement and an entire generation of new activists have been thrust into the limelight. But groups like Moms Demand Action and women like Shannon Watts helped pave the way for them, and when the NRA’s influence in American politics finally succumbs to the will of the people, we will have her–and them– to thank.

But What Can We Do Now?

Watts has some suggestions for every day Americans roiled by Sandy Hook and the recent shootings in Parkland High School .

* Text the word ACT to 64433 to immediately be connected to a Moms Demand Action chapter near you and get off the sidelines and fighting in your state houses and members of Congress in your area.

Bros for America is back with an all-new weekly episode. In this episode, moderator and co-host Alex Mohajer (aka “Whoopi Goldberg-in-Chief”) prompts co-hosts and panelists Thomas McAbee, Rance Collins, and Daniel Fusselman to begin the process of identifying their housewives taglines.

While the first draft picks brought about a chuckle amongst the panel, the mood quickly turned more serious as the Hot Topics segment kicked off a conversation about the mass school shooting that happened at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas on Friday that left 10 students dead.

Amidst further news that some of the students may have killed in cross-fire between the shooter and the armed deputies  responding to the scene, and the frustration of a nation is palpable. The panel, who has previously taken a hard position on guns and frequently interview gun rights activists and trailblazers, discuss their ideas for solutions and for reasons the epidemic of gun violence has been allowed to continue and fester for so long in America.

What better time to pick your housewives taglines than amidst yet another national tragedy. Indeed, last Friday, it happened again: a young (white, racist male) shooter (with a history of abusive tendencies toward women) entered school grounds  and open-fired, officially making it more likely that you will die in a school shooting in America than if serving the military.

The Bros discuss the root of the epidemic of gun violence in America and one thing is for sure: The time to politicize these tragedies is now. Every NRA-backed member of Congress must be voted out in the upcoming November mid-term elections. 

The conversation turns to a lively summary of the latest in Trump/Russia, and of course, the Bros are tasked yet again with the unenviable job of picking their weekly nominations for #ShitholeoftheWeek.

The Bros4America Podcast celebrate Mother’s Day by dishing about their sexy underwear habits (spoiler alert: Mormon underwear is out, leather jockstraps are in) and then dive right into dissecting this week’s big headlines. On the top of their list: skewering Donald Trump for his move to end the Iran Nuclear Deal last week. By undoing former president Barack Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement, Trump is making only one thing clear.

“He only thing this man cares about is to erase Obama’s legacy to make it seem like the black man didn’t exist. That’s basically the impetus behind every decision,” said Bros4America panelist and co-host Thomas McAbee.

Moderator and co-host Alex Mohajer concluded that Trump’s primary objective is to undo every accomplishment of Obama or former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. He points to the 2011 White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner, where President Obama skewered Trump, as being the moment Trump decided to run for President with the singular focus of destroying the Clinton/Obama legacy in mind.

The conversation turned to the Iran Nuclear Deal, which Donald Trump ended last week after much fanfare.

Jess Phoenix is not Pierce Brosnan. But she doesn’t mind if you make the comparison. Phoenix, a candidate for Congress out of California’s 25th congressional district, relished the idea during an interview for an all-new episode of the Bros4America podcast. Pierce Brosnan, most famous for his rendition of James Bond in the 007 franchise in the 1990s, also starred as a vulcanologist that saves the day in the 1997 volcano eruption thriller Dante’s Peak.

Twenty years after the fictional Dante’s Peak erupted on the big screens, another threat is looming. As the Kilauea volcano erupts on Hawaii’s big island to massive destruction, the destructive force of misinformation and fact-averse government is quite literally melting down our democracy.

Enter Jess Phoenix, the 35-year-old vulcanologist turned unlikely congressional candidate running as a Democrat to unseat GOP incumbent Steve Knight in California’s 25th congressional district. Phoenix joined co-hosts Alex Mohajer and Daniel Fusselman for a lively chat on the latest episode of the Bros4America podcast, and expressed heart-sickness at the recent eruption in Hollywood, but recognized the fight for our democracy was even more urgent and perilous.

Phoenix didn’t hold back in her criticisms of Steve Knight, a widely reviled Republican who has been allowed to remain in Congress because his deeply conservative district has never mounted a meaningful challenge to his candidacy. That’s all about to change.

Phoenix is running a true grassroots campaign. Listeners who wish to support her can visit www.jess2018.com to find out more.

Featuring guest panelist Ari Andersen (Millennials Don’t Suck) and am interview with Jean Templin (Purple Patriot)!

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner served a blistering roast of Donald Trump and various (former) members of his (disintegrating) administration on Saturday night. So why the backlash?

Bros for America podcast panelists Alex Mohajer, Thomas McAbee, and Daniel Fusselman were joined by guest panelist Ari Andersen, creator and host of Millennials Don’t Suck podcast to discuss the week’s pressing hot topics, including the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the peace talks between North and South Korea, and to interview Jean Templin, the co-founder of Purple Patriot, a new fledgling organization advocating for more women in positions of leadership and government.

Did comedienne Michelle Wolf go too far in her headlining speech at the event? Is an apology even really necessary? Were Trump Administration officials and noted journalists and members of the press justified in asking that she apologize for her remarks? Why are people convinced she made disparaging remarks about White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’ looks when she clearly complimented them?

Other topics this week? Trump’s outrageous, mentally disturbed appearance on Fox and Friends, the daily morning talk show on Fox News Channel. And a time of peace between  North and South Korea.

But about that White House correspondents dinner…

Ari Andersen is not buying it. He’s the first to call out the media for the utter hypocrisy in demanding such an apology and nominated the media establishment for #ShitholeoftheWeek. See the bottom of this page for more of this week’s nominees and vote for your favorites!

Fuck James Comey! – Bros4America co-hosts Alex Mohajer, Thomas McAbee, and Daniel Fusselman.

Plus, Bros4America is thrilled to be partnering with Purple Patriot, which shares the common goal of advancing women’s rights, but particularly with regard with women in Leadership and government. Purple Patriot

co-founder Jean Templin joins the Bros to discuss her organization, and how badly we need a representative government now more than ever.

As always, the bros nominated and the readers/listeners get to choose the winner of  #ShitholeoftheWeek!
