This week on The Brody File Show, the "little children" in Congress still can't figure out how to get the federal government to re-open.
Plus, NBC News Reporter Luke Russert joins us to discuss his Catholic Faith.
Also, Alison Howard from Concerned Women for America explains how Christian millennials are fighting for traditional marriage.
In an interview you’ll only see on The Brody File, NBC News Reporter Luke Russert talks about the Luke 12:48 Bible verse tattooed on his arm.
Remember this name: Alison Howard. She’s communications Director for Concerned Women For America but one of her most valuable tasks is going around the country talking to high school and college students about the importance of traditional marriage. She’s one of those twenty-something millennial Christians who are fighting the good fight against gay marriage. But she’s not a hater. She’s on the front lines of this battle.
As I was dusting my piano the other day, I thought about how much I hated to practice as a child. Yes, all three kids in my family were forced to take piano lessons. None of us liked the idea or wanted to practice. I hated the 30 minutes of boring scales and sections of classical music that took forever to learn. I could be playing, out with friends and doing something useful with my life!
The Brody File has an excerpt from a speech that Congressman Paul Ryan will deliver via videotape to social conservatives in Washington Friday. He will tell those attending the Values Voter Summit that, “We need to completely rethink government’s role in our live. That means we can never give up on repealing and replacing Obamacare.”
More of the excerpt below:
Anyone who tells you miracles don't happen today needs to meet Nigerian Habila Adamu. Members of the Boko Haram terrorist group stormed into his house last November and shot him in the face after he repeatedly refused to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ.
Everyone--including his Boko Haram assailants and his wife thought he was dead. But Habila survived and gives all honor and praise to Christ.
This hasn't been a good week for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. First he gets a "Happy Bailout Birthday Cake" from his GOP Primary opponent in Kentucky (because he supported the $700 billion bailout five years ago).
Now, he's been, "unendorsed" by a Tea Party Group.

My six year old hates school! Those are her words. She comes home and tells me every day, “Mommy, I hate school.” It breaks my heart. She wants to be homeschooled. I’ve tried to do this in the past, but I feel I am not up to the task. I have friends who home school and they make it look fun and easy. It’s just not for me. When I tried, I failed miserably. I had to admit defeat for the sake of my children’s education and my sanity.
How about trying this one on for size? Here is the press release headline from Congressman Tim Huelskamp’s office this afternoon:
Obama Administration Denies Mass to Catholics
Apparently, a priest was denied access to a military chapel this weekend. Father Ray Leonard serves at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia but because of the government shutdown, he wasn’t allowed to go to celebrate Mass this past weekend.
