The Resist Report

Saturday marked two major anniversaries and one possibly catastrophic new moment in history. On the one year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration, the federal government shut down it doors due to Republican failure to agree on a budget deal, despite controlling both houses of Congress, the executive branch, and the Supreme Court. Fitting then that these two moments in time should converge upon one another on the one year anniversary of the Women’s March (or Women’s March 2.0) which had its second showing Saturday in a massive protest that criss-crossed all across the United States and all seven continents.

Moderator and co-host Alex Mohajer is out with the flu this week, but still managed to chime in and pay homage to all the women behind Bros4America, including the late J.D. DiSalvatore, Paulina Trefault, Victoria Moxie, Katharine Rose, Priscilla Wagner, Jennifer Brophy, Elizabeth Natali, Robyn Tyler, Anyshka Van Dahl, Vera Ackerman, Alicia Tucker, Anita Basharat, Julia Ingrid and Melissa Jamrock.

Taking over with full hosting duties this week are usual co-hosts Daniel Fusselman and Thomas McAbee, and they discuss everything from Fusion GPS transcripts, to Trump’s Money Laundering, to Russian money funneled through the NRA, to Devin Nunes, to Russia & #ReleaseTheMemo, to DACA, to the Government shutdown, to the Women’s March 2.0.

The Bros 4 America Podcast is executive produced by Alex Mohajer, created with Audacity and distributed by BluBerry and PowerPress. The theme music is “It’s Always Too Late To Start” by Chris Zabriskie, and the show is co-hosted by Thomas McAbee, Daniel Fusselman, Alex Mohajer, and Rance Collins. Special thanks to Nelson Melegrito, Bros4Hillary co-founder, Matt Garrett, and Hillary Clinton, whose support gave us the fortitude to keep at it. Stay woke!

This is a message from the emergency broadcast system: Donald Trump, the man who calls himself President is a Shithole…from which only Oprah Winfrey can save us on this week’s all-new episode of the Bros4America podcast. Join in on the fun at Subscribe to the Bros4America Podcast to hear the Bros pick their “Shithole of the Week Award.”

On this episode, moderator Alex Mohajer and co-hosts Daniel Fusselman and Thomas McAbee discuss  Donald Trump’s horrendous racially charged comment last week in which he is alleged to have asked why immigrants to America must come from Africa and Haiti, which he referred to as “shitholes.”

The media frenzy was almost as batshit crazy as the online speculation this week about whether or not Oprah Winfrey would run for president, or when alt-right conservative columnist Ben Shapiro made Alex the target of yet another alt-right hit job this week for a tweet that was based on a rather good Huffington Post editorial (please note: we are biased).

The Bros 4 America Podcast is executive produced by Alex Mohajer, for which he serves as co-host along with Thomas McAbee, Daniel Fusselman, with an occasional Barbara Walters-esque appearance by Rance Collins (if and when we should be so lucky). The theme music is “It’s Always Too Late to Start” by Chris Zabriskie, and is created using Audacity and powered by BluBerry. As always special thanks to Nelson Melegrito, Founder of Bros4Hillary, and Hillary Clinton, whose blessing gave us the fortitude to move forward.

‘Fire and Fury’ journalist Michael Wolff’s expose on the inner-workings of Donald Trump’s White House, surely inspired some F-bombs from Trump and his legal counsel this week. But on this week’s episode of the Bro4America podcast, the first of the new year and the first time since its inception, the Bros4America podcast must preface an episode with a disclaimer and its very first ‘E’ designation for explicit language.

Tell us what you think! We would like to learn more about what you enjoyed about and what you would like to see added to the Bros4America podcast. Will you take thirty seconds to give us your opinion?

While discussing the week’s hot topics and current events, panelists Alex Mohajer, Daniel Fusselman, and Rance Collins (in his premiere episode) dropped appropriate f-bombs for three more-than-deserving recipients. Listen to hear why Congressional Republicans, conservative journalist/hate-monger/never-had-a-friend-in-high-school Ben Shapiro, and Donald Trump himself all received the salty four-letter salute this week.

On top of the colorful language, the Bros discuss the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the new tell-all book ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,’ Donald Trump’s mental state, the Iranian protests, and the 25th Amendment and whether or not it is a feasible way to remove the president.

The episode serves as the debut for Rance Collins, and his reunion with Alex Mohajer. Some may remember them from the BrosCast Live during the 2016 presidential election.

MOMENT OF THE YEAR

Daniel Fusselman

Paul Manafort Gets It

It was the moment the world realized that it wasn’t just in our heads– the Trump campaign did in fact conspire with a foreign hostile power to influence the 2016 American presidential election… and when Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment came in for Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager and the chairman of his campaign, it spelled the beginning of the of the beginning of the end?

The Bros discuss impeachment possibilities on the final episode in 2017 for the  Bros4America podcast.

Alex Mohajer

The Women’s March

It was the impetus for the Resistance movement and not only a preview of things to come but a firm finger on the pulse of the national feeling toward the incoming Trump Administration. As the year unfolded, the resistance proved it was female and so there was no more fitting occasion to commemorate the moment of the year.

Thomas McAbee

Donald Trump’s Inauguration

Shoulda been her.

Whether you loved it or hated it (spoiler alert: we hated it). Listen to the all new episode of the Bros4America podcast to hear the Bros savage the inauguration speech and compare it to the notorious movie villain Bane from the 2012 Christopher Nolan film “The Dark Knight Rises.”

At least two of the panelists admit to never having watched the Inauguration speech– they simply couldn’t stomach it– but that the white nationalist overtures and deeply divisive tone were clearly a sign of things to come from the Trump Administration. Indeed, the administration accomplished only one real legislative achievement, if you can call it that, in Trump’s tax bill, which was passed right before the holidays in such a hasty fashion that the damage it will do was swept under the rug by Congressional Republicans.

Either way, love it or hate it, the Inauguration set the tone for 2017.

PERSON OF THE YEAR

Alex Mohajer

Emily Nash

True to the times. Emily Nash, an amazing young woman and a junior at Lunenburg High School in Lunenburg, Mass., came in first place during her school’s golf tournament in October.

However, according to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, girls can play in the boys’ golf tournament as part of a team, but they aren’t allowed to be entered as individuals.

As a result, Nash was actually denied a trophy and a spot in the boys state championship in favor of the lesser-scoring male competitor.

Thomas McAbee

African American Women

The resistance is female. And in the case of the Democratic Party, which will need to be the coalition that takes down Donald Trump and serve as the last stand against the threat of autocracy, the resistance is black women.

It’s true that the majority of the calls to Congress this year were made by women. That women had a great round of elections, and that women sparked the #MeToo movement that continues to take down power players in the media.

And in Alabama, we saw that Black women voted for Doug Jones by a 98% to 2% margin proving unequivocally that black women are the heart and the base of the Democratic party.

Members Making A Difference

Bros4Hillary was a force to be reckoned with. Watching our members move forward from the brutal loss in the 2016 presidential election and move towards productive activism made the entire process and experience worth it for us.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The name “Bros4America” has always been a play on words meant to be a tongue-in-cheek response to the Bernie Bro phenomenon, the MAGA trolls, and the misogynistic and white nationalist overtures we saw taking hold during the 2016 campaign season. Indeed, we started as “Bros4Hillary” and today, we have a majority-female membership (the resistance is female and we’ve always known it) and a strong legacy of LGBTQ membership. But, we would be remiss if we did not, in the final episode of the Bros4America podcast in 2017, pick our Bro of the Year 2017.

Panelists Alex Mohajer, Thomas McAbee and Daniel Fusselman ruminated on the ups and  downs of 2017 in this all new episode which drops on New Years Eve. Here are their picks:

As the year unfolded, the resistance proved it was female and so there was no more fitting an occasion to commemorate the moment of the year.

Bros4America co-founder Alex Mohajer has written about the Women’s March extensively for the Huffington Post, both criticisizing and praising it, and comparing it to other women’s movements around the globe.

Surprise! The Bros have been invited to march with Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) at the Women’s March in Los Angeles this January. Last year there were an estimated 750,000 attendees. Here’s hoping to an even bigger turnout in 2018.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1515225513905{background: #ffffff url(https://bros4america.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/qtq80-pGbU9l.jpeg?id=3042) !important;border-radius: 3px !important;}”]
