This week on the Brody File show: We're on the road in Des Moines at the Thanksgiving Family Forum where the candidates shed tears and talk about Jesus.
Plus, an interview with frontrunner Newt Gingrich. And a look back at some fun moments with Speaker John Boehner, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann.
If you look up “Bonehead move” in the dictionary you will probably get a definition as follows:
Mitt Romney’s dishonest television ad that makes it seems how President Obama said something which he never really said.”
Unbelievable. Romney’s first ad that went up in New Hampshire Tuesday has taken the word misleading to a new level. It’s MITT-leading. Romney may be against amnesty, but is he FOR honesty?
It's become pretty clear that 2012 will be the Year of Reckoning when it comes to Iran's nuclear weapons program. Simply put, there's a very good chance that we're going to wake up one day in '12 and discover that either Iran has successfully tested a nuclear bomb, or that the mullahs' nuke facilities have been preemptively attacked by Israel (unless Iran's proxies get things started by first striking Israel).
Herman Cain has now signed the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life Pledge. Originally he resisted because of concerns that as president he would not be able to adhere to the fourth commitment in the pledge, which is to ADVANCE, and sign into law a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
At the time, he had concern that there was no way he could guarantee that he’d be able to advance that bill. But clearly the intent of the pledge language was more that he would use the bully pulpit of the presidency to advance it. He has now signed it.
After all hope was lost that the Congressional Super Committee would come up with a deal, President Obama made this statement from the White House.
THE PRESIDENT:
Good afternoon. As you all know, last summer I signed a law that will cut nearly $1 trillion of spending over the next 10 years. Part of that law also required Congress to reduce the deficit by an additional $1.2 trillion by the end of this year.
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, there has been a lot of talk about being thankful. Often, you will find that people go out of their way to convey their appreciation this time of year. However, it is so important to remind our children and ourselves to always be thankful. Recently, I was at the park with a friend’s son, he surprised me with his manners. My children know the importance of saying “thank you”, but this four year old just melted my heart.
Emergency rooms are packed during the holidays. Many patients who end up seeking immediate medical treatment are suffering from a condition known as Holiday Heart Syndrome. It is brought on by drinking too much alcohol too fast and eating too much salt. Caffeine can add to the problem.
There were tears, testimonies, and talk of Jesus over the weekend in Iowa. And it wasn't a revival meeting -- it was a presidential forum.
Watch my report from Des Moines, Iowa that aired nationally on "The 700 Club" this morning (including some of my exclusive interview with Newt Gingrich)
In an interview with The Brody File over the weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, co-frontrunner Newt Gingrich praised his wife and derided critics by saying, “there have been lies told about her (Callista Gingrich, his wife) and lies told about the campaign to her disadvantage and it's not fair.”
The Brody File was on the road this weekend with Gingrich in Iowa. We are working on a behind-the-scenes national profile story that will air on "The 700 Club" in the next few weeks.
