In a one-on-one backstage interview with The Brody File, presidential contender Newt Gingrich says the fact that the media has declared this a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry is a, “combination of arrogance and stupidity.”

Delivering on its promise, Predators is a moody, unrelenting and attention-grabbing sci-fi thriller, filled with action, splendid visual effects and packed with undulating tension. True to its 80s film origins, and using its broad concept as a springboard, the ante of the premise of an invisibly cloaked extra terrestrial warrior is raised and a twist added. The dense jungle may be like the Amazon, but the location is planets away, and the writers that producer Robert Rodriguez has commissioned, have cleverly made the problem of relocating its human characters one of the intriguing plot points. Beyond its spectacular effects and...

It seems like Barack Obama’s heated answer about The Born Alive Infant Protection Act is making some headlines out there. The Brody File has decided to break out this clip of video by itself rather than having you sit through the whole 5 minute interview. The transcription is below. Clearly, the conversation over this bill has gotten Obama riled up. He truly believes The National Life to Right Committee is lying about this controversial infanticide bill which he opposed. He is adamant in saying that the bill he opposed in the Illinois State Senate was NOT the same as...

Attention Brody File readers. I was just granted an exclusive one on one interview with Barack Obama here at the Saddleback Civil Forum. CBN News was the only media outlet to go behind the scenes and conduct an interview. It happened literally two minutes after Obama walked off the stage. Video of the interview is now posted above. Read the transcript below. I had five minutes and I asked him about the McCain handshake, his toughest question during the forum and whether the McCain campaign is purposely using imaginary to scare people about him. He got pretty heated when I...

In a state where the economy and cars rule the day, it was all business in Michigan and the businessman won.With his win in Michigan Tuesday night, Romney proved that not only is he not going anywhere, but he's a force to be reckoned with. The last time I checked, he now has two gold and two silver medals.  That is not only a great olympic performance but it shows that Team Romney has always been built for a 50-state haul and winning the most delegates.Let's remember something here. It was Mitt Romney who was campaigning in Michigan when...

Someone wake me up! I could have sworn this was December 2007. But today in College Station, Texas, as I watched Mitt Romney deliver his long awaited faith speech with American flags draped behind him, it felt like January 2009. The speech was sweeping, lofty and presidential. He looked natural and spoke passionately. Mitt Romney didn't just look like a President today. He sounded and behaved like one too. It's not often a presidential candidate gets the limelight all to himself. But such was the case Thursday. Many pundits will pick up on the religious liberty theme and the religious...

WASHINGTON — The morning meeting could have been at any news outlet, with discussion around the glass conference-room table about stem cells, Iraq and the presidential candidates. But afterward the members of the small group in the room bowed their heads in prayer. “I just pray for all of us, reporters, photographers and editors,” said David Brody, a reporter. “Give us the strength to get through the day. Bless our work, Lord. Give us the right words to say.” Mr. Brody, 42, writes a blog and covers politics for the Christian Broadcasting Network, the television station founded by Pat Robertson....

A few days ago I wrote about how Mitt Romney would not come out and say abortion is murder. Read my previous post here. Since then, The Brody File has received an email that’s circulating among the grassroots in defense of Romney on this issue. It’s from Nathan Burd, Director of Public Policy for the pro-life group Heartbeat International. It's always good to be defended by a pro-life group. (full disclosure though...Burd is also Director of “Americans for Mitt.”) Below are excerpts: “There are very good reasons for a pro-lifer not to call abortion "murder" in certain settings. If you...

Who were the winners and losers tonight? The list of losers does not exist. The top tier candidates all did well. There were no testy moments between Romney, McCain and Giuliani. But the way I see it, they should have company in the top tier after tonight...and I'm not talking about Fred Thompson. It’s appropriate that Tuesday night’s Republican debate took place in the Granite state because tonight Mike Huckabee was solid as a rock. This is now the third debate where he has done well but tonight he cranked I up to another level. There was a passion in...

I can't help but think: what do the thoughtful Huffposters really want out of this media-inflated standoff with President Bush? It must be: The CHIEF BRODY SLAP. THE CHIEF BRODY SLAP is based on the infamous scene in Jaws when a distraught mom slaps Roy Scheider across the face. Her son was eaten by a shark, but she blames the sheriff. Because he didn't do enough. It's not the shark, it's the sheriff. It's like me blaming Arianna for Christine Lahti's post. But unjustified. And with a shark. THE CHIEF BRODY SLAP (CBS) is a chief staple in an any...

The country's highest-paid college president works for Johns Hopkins University, in the heart of cash-strapped Baltimore, according to a survey that will be released today. President William R. Brody, who is paid $897,786, jumped from having the fifth-highest private school salary in 2002 to being 2003's top earner, according to the survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
