The presidential campaign of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could be the comeback story of the year. He's risen from a summer disaster to leading the polls in early primary states like Iowa, South Carolina, and others.
Recently, The Brody File crew slapped a wireless microphone on Newt and went on the road with him to Iowa and New Hampshire. Have a look at the piece that aired nationally on "The 700 Club" Tuesday.
Prior to 9/11, no terrorist group had killed more Americans than Hezbollah. Like its patron, Iran, the group is committed to America's destruction.
Now the Iranian/Hezbollah axis is spreading its tentacles throughout Latin America and, according to experts, could go operational at a moment's notice.

When the House approves H.R. 2668, it will memorialize the life and career of Brian A. Terry, the border patrol agent who was shot and killed in a botched gun-tracking program called Operation Fast and Furious.
The incident has prompted congressional inquiries and generated a lot of media coverage. Some Republicans, as recently as last week, continue to call for the resignations of high-ranking officials who signed off on the program while Democrats, like Attorney General Eric Holder, accuse them of using Terry's death to score political points.
By Brody File Producer, Dana Ritter:
This just in - Newt Gingrich provides a written response to The FAMiLY LEADER, an evangelical Iowa organization, on the group's Marriage Vow.
Newt's entire response is below, but if you want the Cliffs Notes, know this:
- Gingrich pledges to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to his spouse.
- Gingrich says he will enforce DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act), and he will support a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as one man, one woman.
What you are about to watch is classic Newt Gingrich. Watch him dress down Mitt Romney in New Hampshire this morning.
The Brody File interrupts your morning coffee with a quick self-serving narcissistic moment: My new book, The Teavangelicals: The Inside Story of How the Evangelicals and the Tea Party are Taking Back America, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Zondervan Publishing will release the book nationally on June 19, 2012.
We know evangelical voters care about the life issue. We also know, based on the latest polling that Newt Gingrich is appealing to evangelical voters in places like Iowa and elsewhere. Even though Newt Gingrich has a solid pro-life voting record, the question remains whether evangelical voters can look past some of his statements on the abortion issue and still vote for him during the primaries.
Brody File Instant Debate Analysis:
Tonight’s two big winners: Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann. Mitt Romney? Not the best night.
Disagree? You want to bet? I’ll bet you $10,000. You get the point right?
Newt Gingrich: The knives were out and Gingrich weathered the storm. He did not get dragged into the mud but rather defended himself and stayed relatively positive, which has been the key to his campaign. He clearly took his anti-arrogance pills before the debate and, for the most part, they kicked in and worked.
His name is Yusuf al-Qaradawi. He's the sharia-loving, jihad-peddling, 86-year-old "spiritual leader" of the Muslim Brotherhood. He's called for the killing of American troops in Iraq and the elimination of the state of Israel and the Jewish people in general.
After the result of the first round of Egyptian Parliamentary elections, Islamists - including the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists - won an overwhelming majority of the votes. It’s led many to believe Egypt is on the road to an Islamic revolution that will profoundly change the largest Arab nation in the Middle East.
It’s alarming to Israelis that fear their more than 30-year treaty with Egypt is in jeopardy.
