David: THIS WEEK ON
"THE BRODY FILE," AWAY WITH
GO.
IT IS PRESIDENT OBAMA VERSUS
MITT ROMNEY IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
AND WHAT IS THIS?
THE OBAMA STATE OF AMERICA?
ALSO, ONE-ON-ONE WITH FLAME
THROWER ALAN WEST.
DEMOCRATS CAN'T STAND HIM,
BUT REPUBLICANS LOVE THE
STRAIGHT-SHOOTING,
HIGH-PROFILE CONGRESSMAN.
DO YOU BELIEVE THERE IS A
LACK OF POLITICAL COURAGE?
YES, SHORT ANSWER.
AND I THINK THAT COMES BACK
AROUND TO WHY THE OTHER SIDE
DOES NOT LIKE ME.
David: ALSO, LOOK WHO
IS IN THE HOUSE?
SARAH PALIN'S FATHER AND
BROTHER JET IN FROM ALASKA
TO PAY "THE BRODY FILE" A
VISIT ABOUT THEIR NEW BOOK
ABOUT SARAH.
THIS GIVES US A CHANCE TO
TELL THE TRUE STORY.
David: AND ALL YOU
KIDS GET READY FOR THE
SEGMENT WHERE YOU GET SIMPLE
ANSWERS TO PERPLEXING ISSUES
THAT WILL AFFECT THE NEXT
GENERATION.
10-YEAR-OLD REPORTER ARIELLE
ON THE CASE WITH SUPER SMART
NEWT GINGRICH.
HOW WILL ALL OF THIS DEBT
AFFECT ME AND THE NEXT
GENERATION.
IF WE KEEP RUNNING UP
BIGGER AND BIGGER DEBTS, IT
WILL LIMIT YOUR FUTURE.
David: I'M SO EXCITED
ABOUT THIS SHOW.
QUICK, SOMEONE ROLL ME
OVER.
QUICK, "THE BRODY FILE,"
NEXT.
David: AND WELCOME,
EVERYBODY, TO ANOTHER
EDITION OF "THE BRODY
FILE."
WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU ALONG
FOR THE RIDE.
FIRST OFF, LET ME STATE THIS
UP FRONT: "THE BRODY FILE,"
NOT A BIG FAN OF BOXING, BUT
POLITICAL BOXING, A
DIFFERENT STORY ALL
TOGETHER.
[BELL RINGING]
LET'S GET READY TO
RUMBLE!
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
David: WE'RE WE GO,
EVERYBODY.
OBAMA VERSUS ROMNEY, FOUR
DEBATES, FOUR ROUNDS.
ROUND ONE WAS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.
THE BIG DEBATE IN DENVER.
BOTH COMPAIGNS WERE SPINNING
WHO WON, BUT HERE ARE A FEW
HIGHLIGHTS.
President Obama: WHEN I
WALKED INTO THE OVAL OFFICE,
I HAD MORE THAN A TRILLION
DEFICIT GREETING ME.
AND WE KNOW WHERE IT CAME
FROM.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT TOOK
OFFICE, 32 MILLION PEOPLE ON
FOOD STAMPS, 47 MILLION ON
FOOD STAMPS.
AND ECONOMIC GROWTH SLOWER
THAN LAST YEAR, AND LAST
YEAR SLOWER THAN THE YEAR
BEFORE.
WE'RE A NATION THAT BELIEVES
WE'RE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD,
AND WE CARE FOR THOSE WHO
HAVE DIFFICULTIES, THOSE WHO
ARE ELDERLY AND CHALLENGED,
WE CARE FOR THEM.
President Obama: WE
WANT TO GIVE THESE GATEWAYS
OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
AMERICANS, BECAUSE IF ALL
AMERICANS ARE GETTING
OPPORTUNITY, WE'RE ALL GOING
TO BE BETTER OFF.
THAT DOESN'T RESTRICT
PEOPLE'S FREEDOM.
THAT ENHANCES IT.
David: WHEN ALL IS
SAID AND DONE, WE'RE GOING
TO WATCH THE POLLS IN THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS, TWO SEE WHO
IS GETTING THE BIGGER BUMP
IN THE DEBATES.
BUT THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE
NOT BEEN KIND TO MITT
ROMNEY.
ONE POLL HAS HIM DOWN NINE
POINTS IN FLORIDA, TO ABOUT
OBAMA.
IN COLORADO, HE IS DOWN.
IN OHIO, YET ANOTHER POL HAS
ROMNEY DOWN 53-43.
AND A RASMUSSEN POLL SHOWS A
DEAD HEAT, 46-46.
AND OTHER POLL CRITICS SAY
THE SAMPLING IN THESE POLLS
IS SKEWED.
SO WHO KNOWS.
BUT HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW,
MITT ROMNEY AND BARACK OBAMA
ARE BOTH GOING TO THE
EXTREME IN THEIR ADS, AND
THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO
CONNECT WITH VOTERS BY
TALKING STRAIGHT TO THEM.
President Obama: DURING
THE LAST WEEKS OF THESE
COMPAIGNS, THERE WILL BE
DEBATES, SPEECHES, AND MORE
ADS.
BUT IF I COULD SIT DOWN WITH
YOU IN YOUR LIVING ROOM OR
AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE,
HERE IS WHAT I WOULD SAY.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND I
BOTH CARE ABOUT POOR AND
MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES.
THE DIFFERENCE IS MY
POLICIES WILL MAKE THINGS
DIFFERENT FOR THEM.
David: "THE
BRODY FILE" LIKES THE
EXTREME CLOSEUPS.
ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT.
PERFECT, RIGHT THERE.
NOW I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M
CONNECTING WITH YOU.
SO HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BIG
CONTROVERSY OUT THERE WITH
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE
AMERICAN FLAG.
CHECK THIS OUT.
THE CAMPAIGN WAS SELLING
THIS POSTER THAT SHOWS A
REDESIGNED AMERICAN FLAG
USING, OH, MY GODLINESS, THE
OBAMA LOGO INSTEAD OF THE
AMERICAN STARS.
SAY WHAT?
THE CAMPAIGN RECEIVED A LOT
OF FLACK FOR THIS, AND NOW
YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE PAGE
ANYMORE ON THEIR WEBSITE.
OY-GEVALT.
NOW LET'S TURN TO WHAT WE DO
BEST, POLITICAL STALKING.
"THE BRODY FILE," WHEN IT'S
A FULL STALKING MODE, AND WE
MADE OUR WAY TO SOUTH
FLORIDA TO DO EXACTLY THAT.
WE FOUND CONTROVERSIAL
CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST, WHO
LIKES TO THROW POLITICAL
CORRECTNESS OUT THE DOOR.
HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, AND
HE DOESN'T CARE IF LIBERALS
DON'T LIKE WHAT HE HAS TO
SAY.
HE HAS HAD SO MANY IN YOUR
FACE COMMENTS, THAT WE
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO
COMPILE A JUKEBOX OF ALLEN
WEST'S GREATEST HITS.
*
I'VE BEEN ON THE
BATTLEFIELD, MY FRIEND.
DON'T TRY TO PULL SUNSHINE
OUT OF MY BUTT.
GET THAT OUT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA!
YEAH, I'D SAY (BLEEP).
IF YOU'RE HERE, THEN
STAND UP, TO GET YOUR
MUFFINS, TO FIX YOUR
BAYONET, AND TO CHARGE TO
WHAT IS RIGHT, YOU'RE MY
BROTHER AND SISTER IN THIS
FIGHT.
David: WEST DISTRICT
RUNS FROM WEST PALM BEACH,
UP THE ATLANTIC COAST, NORTH
OF FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA.
DEMOCRATS WOULD LIKE NOTHING
BETTER THAN TO KNOCK HIM
DOWN A PEG AND DEFEAT HIM.
HE COULD HAVE A CLOSE RACE
AGAINST CHALLENGER PATRICK
MURPHY.
SO HERE IS SOME OF OUR
CONVERSATION WITH THE ALWAYS
INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING
ALLEN WEST.
THERE IS A LOT OF VETRIEAL
AIMED AT YOU.
WHY DO THEY WANT TO TAKE YOU
DOWN?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER
HAD A STRONG CONSERVATIVE
THAT STOOD UP TO THEM.
WENT TOE TO TOE AND DID NOT
PLAY BY THE RULES.
AND I CALLED THEM OUT ON
THAT.
AND EVERYTHING I SPEAK ABOUT
IS FACT AND IS ROOTED IN OUR
PRINCIPLES, THE
CONSTITUTION, ANY OF THE
DOCUMENTS THAT ESTABLISH
THIS GREAT NATION, LIKE THE
FEDERALISTS' PAPERS AND THE
DECLARATION.
David: WHAT ABOUT
MORIS OVER IN EGYPT, CAN HE
BE TRUSTED?
READ THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD'S CHARTER.
THAT WILL TELL YOU WHO THEY
ARE AND WHAT THEY STAND
FOR.
GO BACK AND READ THE
EXPLANATORY REFERENDUM AND
UNDERSTAND THEIR PLAN FOR US
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
AND ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.
MORSI IS NOT AN ALLIE OF
OURS.
David: THERE ARE MANY
CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICALS
THAT BELIEVE THAT WHILE
PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLS
HIMSELF A CHRISTIAN, THAT
HIS POLICIES DO NOT COMMUTE
WITH THE BIBLE, EVERYTHING
FROM MARRIAGE TO ABORTION,
TO FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY,
FOR THAT MATTER.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME OF
THIS DOES NOT COMPORT WITH
THE BIBLE?
I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS
TALKING A GOOD GAME, BUT HIS
POLICIES DON'T FOLLOW IT
UP.
THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT WAR
ON WOMEN AND CONTRACEPTION.
THE REAL ISSUE IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO THE FREE
EXERCISE OF RELIGION
THEREOF, AND WHAT IS COMING
OUT OF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS
TRYING TO RECLASSIFY WHAT A
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION AND
INSTITUTION IS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SHOULD BE DOING.
David: ALLEN WEST HERE
ON "THE BRODY FILE."
LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION TO
THE U.S. SENATE, WHERE
REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING TO
TRY TO GRAB CONTROL BACK
FROM THE DEMOCRATS.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT,
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO WIN
MANY OF THE KEY SENATE RACES
IN THE FOLLOWING STATES.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS MAP.
ARIZONA, CONNECTICUT,
INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS,
MONTANA, NEVADA, NORTH
DAKOTA, VIRGINIA,
WISCONSIN.
NINE STATES, THEY'RE ALL
KEY.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO WIN ALL
OF THOSE STATES, BUT
GRABBING A GOOD CHUNK OF
THEM MAY VERY WELL GIVE THEM
CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
NOW, ONE RACE THAT IS NOT IN
JEOPARDY IS DOWN IN TEXAS,
WHERE TED CRUZ PULLED OFF A
BIG UPSET.
HOW DID HE DO IT?
WELL, IT STARTS WITH HIS
FAITH.
I'M A CHRISTIAN.
I CAME TO CHRIST WHEN I WAS
EIGHT YEARS OLD AT A BAPTIST
CHURCH.
IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF
WHO I AM AS A HUSBAND, AS A
FATHER.
AND AS A MAN.
David: TED CRUZ
PULLING OUT THE JUD JUDAEO
CHRISTIAN CARD.
IT PLAYS WELL WITH
TEAVANGELICAL VOTERS.
AND ACTOR STEVE CARRELL IS
TRYING TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO
GET OUT AND VOTE.
HE HAS RECORDED A NEW PUBLIC
SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT WHERE
HE URGES YOUNG PEOPLE TO PUT
DOWN THE VIDEO GAME
CONTROLLER AND GET OUT AND
VOTE.
AND HE DOES IT IN TYPICAL
STEVE CARRELL FASHION.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
EXCUSE.
IF YOU DIDN'T VOTE, I WILL
PROBABLY SHOW UP AT YOUR
HOUSE.
AND GIVE YOU A SMACK.
A SMACK RIGHT ACROSS THE
EAR.
I WOULD BOX YOUR EAR.
David: THAT'S THE
CLASSIC STEVE CARRELL DEAD
PAN COMIC.
WE HAVE SOMETHING NEW HERE
AT "THE BRODY FILE."
GET READY FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION SEGMENT WITH
ARIELLE.
WE SENT 10-YEAR-OLD ARIELLE
OUT INTO THE WORLD TO TRY TO
FIGURE OUT WHY AMERICA'S
ECONOMIC FUTURE COULD BE IN
SERIOUS JEOPARDY FOR THE
NEXT GENERATION.
TODAY'S ISSUE, THE NATIONAL
DEBT.
AND SHE HAS FOUND THE
PERFECT GUEST TO HELP HER
THROUGH THIS COMPLICATED
ISSUE.
GUESS WHAT?
I'M INTERVIEWING THE FORMER
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, NEWT
GINGRICH.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC IS THE
DEBT.
WHY ARE WE IN SO MUCH DEBT?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHY SHOULD I CARE?
LET'S GO FIND OUT.
NEWT GINGRICH, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING ME TODAY.
ARIELLE, IT IS VERY GOOD
TO BE WITH YOU.
THE DEBT, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW DOES THIS
AFFECT ME IN THE NEXT
GENERATION?
IT IS LIKE A FAMILY.
A FAMILY THAT IS DEBT-FREE
IS ABLE TO HAVE MORE CHOICES
AND IS MORE SECURE THAN A
FAMILY THAT CARRIES AN
ENORMOUS DEBT.
WE WANT TO FIND A WAY TO GET
AMERICA BACK TO A BALANCED
BUDGET AND TO REDUCE THE
DEBT SO THAT YOUR GENERATION
WON'T PAY AS MUCH IN TAXES.
OH, THANK YOU FOR
CLEARING THAT UP FOR ME.
GOOD.
>
SO WHY ARE WE IN SO MUCH
DEBT?
IS IT THAT OBAMA DOESN'T
KNOW HIS LIMIT OR IS HE JUST
CARELESS.
I THINK IT IS BOTH OBAMA
AND THE CONGRESS, TO BE
FAIR.
POLITICIANS HAVE GOTTEN IN
THIS HABIT OF BORROWING FOR
YOUR GENERATION FOR THE
FUTURE, TO GET THEMSELVES
RE-ELECTED.
IT IS REALLY A BAD POLICY.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME,
SPEAKER GINGRICH.
THANK YOU FOR, ARIELLE.
THAT WAS A VERY, VERY GOOD
INTERVIEW.
David: WHEN WE COME
BACK, A CHUCK INVASION.
"THE BRODY FILE" SURGEONED
BY SARAH PALIN'S FAMILY.
IT'S NEXT.
David: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY, TO THE SHOW.
TIME TO CUE UP "THE BRODY
FILE" SINGERS BECAUSE IT IS
OUR EVANGELICAL APPEAL
SEGMENT, OR BETTER KNOWN AS
OUR EVANGELICAL ACT.
IF YOU'RE AN EVANGELICAL AND
YOU LIVE IN ANY PRESIDENTIAL
BATTLEGROUND STATE THIS
WEEK, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
RECEIVING IN THE MAIL, DON'T
YOU?
NOT A SANDI PATTY C.D.
YOU'RE GETTING A VOTER GUIDE
SENT OUT BY THE
TEAVANGELICAL FAITH AND
FREEDOM COALITION.
THEY LIST WHERE ROMNEY AND
OBAMA STAND ON EVERYTHING,
FROM TAXES TO MARRIAGE TO
ABORTION.
YOU NAME IT.
THE GUIDE IS GOING TO BE
SENT OUT TO A TOTAL OF
17 MILLION SOCIALLY
CONSERVATIVE VOTERS BY MAIL,
E-MAIL, TEXT MESSAGE,
CHURCHES, DOOR TO DOOR, ON
HORSEBACK -- I DON'T KNOW.
ALSO, THE VOTER GUIDE WILL
HAVE A BAR CODE ON IT AND IT
CAN BE SCANNED SO PEOPLE CAN
PLAY A VIDEO MESSAGE ABOUT
WHERE THE CANDIDATES STAND
ON THE ISSUES.
IT IS PRETTY COOL.
ALSO, DID YOU KNOW THAT TFC
HAS THE CELL PHONE NUMBERS
OF 13 MILLION VOTERS, THAT
IS BETTER THAN WHAT THE
OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAD IN 2008
BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD
7 MILLION CELL PHONE
CONTACTS.
SO THE QUESTION IS: EVEN IF
MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS READ
THE VOTER GUIDE, WILL THEY
ACTUALLY VOTE?
FOR MORE ON THAT, LET'S TAKE
A LOOK AT JENNY AND THE "B"
BLOCK.
THAT'S RIGHT, SHE'S BACK
THIS WEEK AFTER RECOVERING
FROM AN ANKLE SPRAIN MADE
WHILE DANCING IN THIS
ANIMATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE IS
GETTING JIGGY WITH IT.
WE DO HEAR SHE IS FINE.
THIS WEEK SHE SITS DOWN WITH
THE WIDELY KNOWN PASTOR,
TONY EVANS, WHO HAS A THING
OR TWO TO SAY ABOUT THIS
SUBJECT.
Reporter: YOU WRITE
THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE TEND
TO HAVE A FAVORITE
QUESTION.
AND THAT IS, IS GOD A
REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRAT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
HE IS THE CONSUMMATE
INDEPENDENT, BECAUSE HE ONLY
VOTES FOR HIMSELF.
AND HE DOESN'T RIDE THE
BACKS OF DONKIES OR
ELEPHANTS.
THE GREAT TRAGEDY IS WE HAVE
REDUCED HIM TO PARTISAN
POLITICS, RATHER THAN
RECOGNIZING HE IS HIS OWN
KING WITH HIS OWN KINGDOM,
AND HE MAKES HIS JUDGMENTS
BASED ON HOW CONSISTENT
PEOPLE ARE WITH HIS RULE.
Reporter: I'VE BEEN
COVERING POLITICS FOR A LONG
TIME, AND I OFTEN HEAR THE
VOTERS SAY, I'M PICKING THE
LESSER EVIL.
THERE IS NO GOOD CANDIDATE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE
PEOPLE?
WE HAVE TO LIVE IN THE
WORLD, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE
OUR CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE IT
THE BEST POSSIBLE WORLD WE
CAN.
THEREFORE THE PREMISES OF
THE BOOK ON HOW CHRISTIANS
SHOULD VOTE IS THAT YOU VOTE
FOR THE PARTY, THE PLATFORM,
THE CANDIDATE, OR THE
POLICIES THAT CLOSEST
REFLECTS THE VALUES OF THE
KINGDOM OF GOD.
SINCE OUR JOB AT CHRISTIANS
IS TO REPRESENT THAT VALUE
SYSTEM, BUT NO PARTY FULLY
REPRESENTS THAT VALUE
SYSTEM, YOU CHOOSE THAT
WHICH YOU THINK BEST
REPRESENTS THAT VALUE
SYSTEM, AND YOU CHOOSE GOD,
WHETHER YOUR A DEMOCRAT OR A
REPUBLICAN.
Reporter: SO IT IS NOT
SO MUCH ABOUT THE PARTY, IT
IS ABOUT THE PERSON AND
VOTING YOUR VALUES?
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE GET
TRAPPED IN THAT.
YOU SHOULD EITHER BE A
DEMOCRAT, L- I-T-E, OR THE
REPUBLICAN L-I-T-E.
Reporter: DR. EVANS,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
INSIGHT.
THE BOOK IS "HOW SHOULD
CHRISTIANS VOTE."
DAVID, I'M GOING TO SIGN OFF
ANOTHER "B" BLOCK BY JENNY.
BACK TO YOU.
David: THANKS,
JENNIFER.
WHEN WE COME BACK, A CHUCK
INVASION.
SARAH PALIN'S FAMILY
SURROUNDS "THE BRODY FILE"
SET TO TALK ABOUT THE VERY
POPULAR AND POLARIZING
DAUGHTER.
THAT'S NEXT.
David: AND WELCOME
BACK TO BROADDRICK.
"THE BRODY FILE."
IN THIS SEGMENT WE'RE GOING
ROGUE.
THAT TERM WAS USED TO
DESCRIBE SARAH PALIN IN
2008.
AND IT WAS THE TITLE OF HER
CAMPAIGN MEMOIR.
NOW A COUPLE OF HER FAMILY
MEMBERS ARE GOING ROGUE AS
WELL.
HER DAD, CHUCK, SR., AND HER
BROTHER, CHUCK, JR., ARE OUT
WITH A NEW BOOK.
IT'S CALLED "OUR SARAH, MADE
IN ALASKA."
THEY RECENTLY STOPPED BY OUR
"THE BRODY FILE" STUDIOS
HERE IN THE LOWER 48 TO TALK
ABOUT THIS NEW BOOK.
AND IT IS "CHUCKFUL" EXCUSE
THE PARDON, ABOUT
NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD STORIES.
I'M GOING TO ASK THE PAPA
GRIZZLY ABOUT HOW CATHARDIC
THIS WAS FOR YOU.
LOOK, YOU WERE ANGRY AT
THESE CRITICS ALONG THE WAY,
AND YOU SAY YOU ARE ABLE TO
GET PAST THAT, ALTHOUGH
THERE IS STILL, I'M SURE,
LINGERING FRUSTRATION.
WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR
YOU TO KIND OF GET THAT OUT,
IF YOU WILL.
THERE IS SO MUCH BOLOGNA
WRITTEN ABOUT HER.
HE HAD TO PULL ME OFF A GUY
OR TWO -- SHUT ME UP, IN
OTHER WORDS.
THIS GIVES US A CHANCE TO
TELL THE TRUE STORY.
SHE GOT MOST OF HER
SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING FROM
HER MOM.
HER MOM IS REALLY
RELIGIOUS.
NOT A RELIGIOUS NUT, OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND THE KIDS ALWAYS ASK ME,
WHY DON'T YOU GO TO CHURCH
WITH US.
I DO SOMETIMES, BUT MY GOD
IS THE GOD OF THE MOUNTAINS,
THE GOD OF THE STREAMS, THE
GOD OF THE FOREST.
THE SAME GOD YOU HAVE AND
THE SAME GOD THEY HAVE, BUT
I WORSHIP IN A DIFFERENT
WAY.
I PRAY TO THE GOD OF THE
MOUNTAINS.
David: YOU DON'T LIKE
THAT RELIGIOUSITY, THE
MAN-MADE STUFF.
YES.
YOU PUT IT WELL.
David: CHUCK, JR., YOU
REVISITED THIS, AND YOU'RE
OPEN ABOUT THE McCAIN
STAFFERS, AND NOT TO REVISIT
2008, BUT HOW FRUSTRATING
WAS IT FOR YOU AND THE
FAMILY AT THE TIME TO SEE
NOT THE DEMOCRATS,
NECESSARILY, TURN ON SARAH,
BECAUSE THEY NEVER REALLY@#@#
TURNED ON HER -- THEY WERE
ALWAYS OUT TO KIND OF GET
HER.
BUT THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN --
HOW SAD AND FRUSTRATED AND
ANGRY WERE YOU ABOUT THAT
AND HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH
IT?
WE WERE VERY FRUSTRATED,
AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO
DAD -- STARTING WITH THE
2008 CONVENTION.
AS SHE WAS MAKING THAT FIRST
CONVENTION SPEECH, I LEANED
OVER AND WHISPERED IN HIS
EAR, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
THE REAL SARAH AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE SPEECH.
WHEN THEY HAD THE LITTLE
TELEPROMPTER FLUB, AND SHE
WENT OFF ON HER OWN, THAT'S
WHEN SHE INSTANTLY MADE THAT
CONNECTION WITH THE
AUDIENCE.
THAT ATMOSPHERE JUST BECAME
ELECTRIC.
David: THAT IS CHUCK
SQUARED HERE ON "THE BRODY
FILE."
THEY INVITED ME TO GO
HUNTING IN ALASKA.
I'M A CITY GUY, SO I
CAUTIOUSLY SAID I'D LOVE TO
AS LONG AS I COULD BRING MY
SUGAR-FREE, VANILLA SOY
LATTE.
SPEAKING OF DRINKS AND FOOD,
HAVE YOU HEARD THE
CONTROVERSY ABOUT FIRST LADY
MICHELLE OBAMA'S LUNCH
MENU.
THE FLOTUS IS PUSHING THESE
GUIDELINES IN SCHOOLS AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
LESS CALORIES, MORE FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES.
BUT MANY CHILDREN ARE SAYING
THEY'RE HUNGRY.
SOME HIGH SCHOOL KIDS IN
KANSAS EVEN MADE A FUNNY
VIDEO ABOUT THIS CALLED "WE
ARE HUNGRY."
* WE ARE HUNGRY
*
David: WHEN WE FIRST
HEARD ABOUT THIS STORY, WE
THOUGHT, THE CONTROVERSY
MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN
OVER SOME OF THE FOOD
CHOICES THAT MICHELLE OBAMA
HAS COME UP WITH ON THIS
MENU.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE UNDERSTAND
SHE WANTS ALL OF THE KIDS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO EAT
THIS DISH CALLED MITT
ROMNEY'S 47% FAT-FREE
CHILI.
AND SHE WANTS THE KIDS TO
HAVE A BARACK OBAMA LOVABLE,
CHEWABLE VITAMIN.
AND WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS A
FOOD ITEM, TRUE -- MAYBE NOT
TRUE -- CALLED YOU DIDN'T
BUILD THAT BURGER.
TASTY.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING MORE
TASTY THAN THIS WEEK'S MEATY
BRODY FILE.
NOW THAT MITT ROMNEY HAS
RELEASED HIS 2011 TAX
RETURNS.
LET ME GET RIGHT TO THE
BOTTOM LINE.
THE ROMNEYS MADE
$14 MILLION, AND THEY GAVE
$4 MILLION OF IT TO
CHARITY.
NOW, NO NEED TO GRAB THEIR
CALCULATOR, I'LL DO THE MATH
FOR YOU.
THAT IS 30% OF HIS INCOME
THAT HE DONATED TO CHARITY.
AND THIS IS A GUY THE MEDIA
HAS PAINTED AS A RICH,
UNCARING GUY WHO DOESN'T
CARE ABOUT THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
WELL, REMEMBER PRESIDENT
OBAMA IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE
GUY THAT CARES SO MUCH ABOUT
PEOPLE, BUT DID HE GIVE 30%
OF HIS MONEY TO CHARITY?
NO, HE DID NOT.
THE EXPRESSION IS: PUT YOUR
MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS,
RIGHT?
WELL, ROMNEY HAS DONE THAT
WITH HIS OWN WEALTH.
SO WHY WOULD THERE BE REASON
TO BELIEVE HE WOULDN'T DO
THE SAME THING AND BE JUST
AS COMPASSIONATE AS
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES?
SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
BACK IN A MOMENT, AND WAIT
UNTIL YOU FIND OUT WHO IS
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
WE'LL SEE YOU IN A MOMENT.
David: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE BRODY FILE," WHERE WE
ARE FOND OF SAYING WE ARE
POLITICS WITHOUT THE SNOOZE
FACTOR.
AND WE ARE ALSO FOND OF THE
DANCING JEWISH TEA CUP, OR
AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT, THE
OY-VEY MOMENT OF THE WEEK.
*
David: GUESS WHO IS
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
ROSANNE BARR.
THAT'S RIGHT, THE
COMEDIENNE, TURNED ACTRESS,
TURNED SOCIALIST.
SHE IS RETURNING AT
CANDIDATE OF THE PEACE AND
FREEDOM PARTY.
OY-GEVALT.
HERE SHE IS ON SEAN
HANDITY'S SHOW, ARGUING FOR
MORE SOCIALISM.
I'M RUNNING ON THE PEACE
AND FREEDOM PARTY.
I THINK WE NEED A LITTLE
MORE SOCIALISM IN THIS
COUNTRY THIS TIME.
WE NEED TO MOVE STUFF FROM
THE TOP TO THE MIDDLE AND
THE BOTTOM BECAUSE IT KEEPS
ON STAYING AT THE TOP.
AND HOW DO YOU BUILD A
MIDDLE CLASS, IS BRING STUFF
FROM THE TOP DOWN TO THE
MIDDLE.
David: SHE IS SERIOUS
ABOUT THIS, WELL, GOD BLESS
HER.
HERE IS A LITTLE QUICK BONUS
OY-VEY MOMENT.
WE FOUND THIS ON A RECENT
TRIP TO SOUTH FLORIDA.
A BIG SIGN, IT SAYS "OBAMA,
OY-VEY, HAD ENOUGH."
WE THOUGHT IT FIT PERFECTLY
INTO OUR OY-VEY MOMENT ON
"THE BRODY FILE."
THAT DOES IT FOR THIS WEEK.
UNTIL NEXT WEEK, GOD BLESS
AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
