The Brody File was granted exclusive access inside last week’s Pastors and Pews event in Des Moines, Iowa. During the event, Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul came and spoke in front of hundreds of Iowa pastors.
After each addressed the crowd, the pastors gathered around each one and prayed for them. Below is a short compilation of those prayers for the senators.
In an interview with The Brody File, Sen. Rand Paul says churches in America should challenge the IRS by speaking boldly from the pulpit and not worry about the consequences.
Since most churches are non-profit 501c3 entities, many pastors are reluctant to speak out on political issues for fear of an audit and potential fines from the IRS.
In a veiled shot at influential neoconservatives within the Republican Party, Sen. Rand Paul tells The Brody File the following:
“There are people who will do or say anything who are your enemies,” Paul said. “Those who believe in perpetual war are some of the most dangerous to our country, and I think they will do everything they can to try and vilify people who are trying to find a more reasoned approach where war is the last resort not the first resort.”
In a one-on-one interview with The Brody File, Sen. Rand Paul says Republicans must do a much better job reaching minorities with their message, saying that they need to look at forming, “Republican Community Organizers.
Sen. Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that America is going down a dangerous road regarding what is considered “hate speech,” saying the next step could very well be charging pastors with a crime for speaking in support of traditional marriage from the pulpit.

In an interview you’ll see only on The Brody File, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus assured evangelicals that the GOP’s foundational principles of life and marriage won’t change but did say that, “our principles have to be draped in the concepts of grace, love and respect and that’s not code language.
