Well,

and I think that's where you know something has broken down the political process. If you have a Republican governor calling for something that the Republican super majority can't get through, well, then the Republican super majority is detached, especially its leadership from where the people are because a statewide officer like that is going to have a much better sense of what's working statewide, what's popular, what's not popular statewide. And so that to me is when you have a complete detachment between those two bodies, like I'm all for checks and balances and conversation, but that's not what even is happening here. And so to the listeners and voters in Tennessee, I know that's frustrating. Listen to the Democratic representatives in the Tennessee house, like everyone is furious, right, justly anger, but don't tell yourself that this is all systemic. And so this is just the wrong people in office. And that is never completely beyond our control. There are surprising outcomes and super blue districts and super red districts all the time, all the time, but just telling voters you might need to convince that they hate kids and want them to die is not the way to start to chip away at what is broken inside the Tennessee house right now. And

I have to believe that those videos of the people being escorted, the videos of the speaker and representatives Pearson and Jones, the obvious ways that power is being abused within the state house are going to have an impact, electorally, I have to believe that. Gun violence is not a simple problem. It doesn't have one cause. There isn't one solution. And so we want to continue to think about all of the layers here. And today we're going to turn to a conversation about the portrayal of guns in media. We've talked a lot about this on the show. And we're really excited to share a conversation with Chris Brown, who's president of Brady. Brady is a nonprofit organization working to combat gun violence from all angles and pants who politics favorite Piper parabow film stage and TV actor who you'd recognize from many projects that we shall not mention due to the ongoing strikes. But trust me, you've seen Piper parabow before. Brady is working with Piper and other Hollywood leaders on the show your safety movement, which asks producers, directors and writers to revisit the use of guns in their storytelling. We found this conversation really helpful, really inspiring, and we hope that you will too. As much as we all want to tune out of politics at times, it comes up everywhere. Congregations, office break rooms, family gatherings, it can feel like every space is a political mind field. We've said over and over again on the show, keeping politics out isn't really an option, but most of us don't have a toolbox of skills for how to let politics in. That's where Sarah and Beth come in. They would love to visit your organization, faith community or school and help equip you with the tools to handle hard conversations about any topic.

One of the hardest things about living in a different city from my Godson is that most of the time I only get to see him through notes, pictures and phone conversations. I wanted to know that I'm thinking about him all year round, and that's why for his birthday last year, I got him a subscription to Koala crates from KiwiCo. He's made campfires, explored reptiles, made cars and other monthly science and art projects that turn curiosity into creativity. I love seeing the projects he does each month, and KiwiCo has subscriptions that grow with him. His birthday is coming up and I renewed my subscription for another year and was delighted that not only could I upgrade to a box designed for an older kid, but I can also rotate between Kiwi and Atlas crates to give him a little bit of variety each month. There's no commitments I can pause or cancel at any time. Have an awesome summer with KiwiCo. Get 50% off your first month plus free shipping on any crate line with code PANSUIT at KiwiCo.com.

Chris and Piper, thank you so much for spending time with us at Nancy Politics. I was thrilled when I found an article about your advocacy work around guns in Hollywood, because I feel like a very stereotypical suburban mom on my soapbox about how I don't like the way that guns are depicted in TV and movies. I feel like the parents of my childhood ranting about video games, but it was validating to see that you see this too. I was reminded of how in business we say all the time that culture eats policy for breakfast. Why would that not be true? Why would Holly would not have a role? Tell me about the work that you're doing with Brady.
