If liberals thought 2016 was bad, wait until they get a load of President Trump in 2017. Interviews this week with a spokesman from the Presidential Inaugural Committee and a one-on-one with Lila Rose, a national pro-life leader who is expecting ...

David: AND WELCOME
TO ANOTHER EDITION OF "THE
BRODY FILE."
GLAD YOU'RE WITH US.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HAPPY 2017.
HEY, LIBERALS, 2016 NOT A
GOOD YEAR.
WHY?
RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP WON
THE PRESIDENCY.
2017, OR RE SORRY, PROBABLY
GOING TO BE WORSE BECAUSE
DONALD TRUMP WILL BE
PRESIDENT JANUARY 20th.
LOTS TO DISCUSS ABOUT HIS
FIRST HUNDRED DAYS, AND
WE'LL GET TO ALL OF THAT.
AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE
OF THE ACTUAL PRESIDENTIAL
INAUGURATION, WHAT BANDS
ARE GOING TO BE AT THE
INAUGURATION.
ALL OF THE IMPORTANT
STUFF, RIGHT?
ACTUALLY, WE HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK WITH SOMEONE ON
THAT PRESIDENTIAL
INAUGURATION COMMITTEE
RIGHT HERE IN D.C., HAVE A
LOOK.
JOINING US NOW IS ALEX
SHERMAN, A DEPUTY
COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL
INAUGURATION COMMITTEE --
DID I GET THAT RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
David: TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN
THESE THREE KEY DAYS,
THURSDAY, FRIDAY,
SATURDAY.
TAKE ME THROUGH SOME OF
THIS.
STARTING WITH
ESPECIALLY THE PUBLIC
EVENTS.
WE'LL START OFF ON
THURSDAY MORNING AND END
SOME TIME MID-SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.
ONE OF THE KEY TAKE-AWAYS
THAT WE HAVE AS AN
ORGANIZATION IS THE CHARGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.
AND HIS CHARGE IS TO MAKE
THIS ABOUT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
IT IS SOMETIMES SEEN AS A
TYPE OF CORONATION.
OR AN ENTERTAINER-BACKED
CELEBRATION.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT.
NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE A
PRESIDENT WHO IS READY TO
GET TO WORK.
HE WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH
SOME OF THE WAYS OF
WASHINGTON AND BRING IN A
NEW ERA FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CARRIER
DEAL AND THE MEXIC FORD DEAL.
David: TELL ME A
LITTLE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO SEE ON THURSDAY.
THURSDAY, WHAT KIND OF
LEAD-UP DO WE HAVE?
THURSDAY IS WHEN THE
PRESIDENT-ELECT WILL
ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
HE'LL START OFF HIS PUBLIC
WAY AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY.
TO SHOW THAT HIS FIRST
COMMITMENT IN WASHINGTON
AS PRESIDENT-ELECT AND
LIVING UP TO THE INAUGURAL
CEREMONY IS TO THANK THE
SERVICE OF THOSE WHO HAVE
COME BEFORE US.
FROM THERE HE'LL MOVE TO A
PRE-CONCERT.
THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
A CHANCE FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE TO REALLY SHOW
THEIR TALENTS AND SHOW
WIFTHEREAL PEOPLE ASPECT.
AND AFTER THAT WE'LL HAVE
A WELCOME CELEBRATION,
FEATURING SOME
ENTERTAINMENT ACTS, BUT
ALSO SOME OF THE MILITARY
ASPECTS AS WELL.
OUR MILITARY BANDS.
TO REALLY JUST KIND OF
KICK OFF THIS INAUGURAL
WEEK.
THAT WILL END THE EVENTS
ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
David: TELL ME ABOUT
THE BIG DAY ON FRIDAY.
THIS PRESIDENT-ELECT,
HONORING THE TRADITIONS OF
THE PAST.
YOU'LL SEE ON THURSDAY
MORNING, THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS FAMILY WILL START OFF
WITH A PRIVATE CHURCH
SERVICE AT ST. JOHN'S
CHURCH.
IT DATES BACK TO F.D.R.
BUT EVERY PRESIDENT SINCE
MADISON HAS WORSHIPPED
THERE AT THE CHURCH.
IT SHOWS HIS COMMITMENT TO
THE FAITH ASPECT.
AND THE IMPORTANCE THIS IS
GOING TO PLAY IN HIS
INAUGURAL CEREMONY.
AND THEN FROM THERE
HE'LL -- HE'LL BE INVITED
TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO HAVE
COFFEE WITH THE FIRST
FAMILY.
AND THEN HE WILL PROCEED
TO THE CAPITAL WHERE HE'LL
BE SWORN IN.
AND AT THAT POINT FORMER
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND
MRS. OBAMA WILL DEPART
WASHINGTON.
AND HE'LL HAVE A LUNCHEON
THERE THAT IS PUT ON BY
THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE
HONORING THE NEW
PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
FROM THERE HE'LL START THE
INAUGURAL PARADE.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
IS HONORING THE TRADITION
OF THE PAST.
BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE SHORTENED.
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER HAD A
PARADE THAT LASTED ALMOST
FIVE HOURS LONG.
THIS PARADE WILL BE
SHORTER THAN PREVIOUS
YEARS.
IT WILL BE AN HOUR, AN
HOUR AND A HALF.
IT IS SHOWING THE
PRESIDENT-ELECT'S
COMMITMENT TO GETTING TO
WORK.
HE WANTS TO GET TO WORK
WITH EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND
SIGNING PIECES OF
LEGISLATION ON HIS DESK.
AND FOLLOWING THROUGH ON
THAT COMMITMENT TO CHANGE
WASHINGTON.
David: AND FINALLY
ON SATURDAY, VERY
IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY FOR
OUR FAITH AUDIENCE HERE,
ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON
SATURDAY.
WE HAVE A PRAYER
SERVICE, A TRADITION THAT
HAS OCCURRED IN PREVIOUS
INAUGURALS.
AND YOU'LL SEE
MULTI-FAITHS REPRESENTED.
AND A COMMITMENT TO THIS
IDEA OF HAVING A HIGHER
POWER AND RELYING ON THAT
AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES AND SEEKING THAT
COUNSEL.
SO WHETHER IT IS WITH THE
FIRST PRAYER SERVICE,
STARTING HIS DAY OFF, THE
INAUGURATION, WITH HIS
PRIVATE PRAYER SERVICE OR
THE SATURDAY MORNING
PRAYER SERVICE, SHOWING
THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS
GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO
RELIES ON THE FAITH
COMMUNITY.
HE DID THROUGHOUT HIS
ELECTION AND WILL AS
PRESIDENT AS WELL.
AND THE CEREMONY ITSELF,
FOR THE FIRST TIME WE'LL
HAVE MORE PARTICIPATION
FROM FAITH LEADERS IN THE
INAUGURAL CEREMONY ITSELF
THAN EVER BEFORE.
David: A LOT OF
STUFF GOING DOWN ON
JANUARY 20th.
POST-JANUARY 20th, A LOT
OF POLICY STUFF WILL BE
GOING DOWN.
OBAMACARE CLEARLY ON TOP
OF ALL OF THE LISTS.
MORE ON THAT LATER IN THE
SHOW.
SPEAKING OF OBAMACARE,
WHAT WILL BE TIED TO THAT
IS THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD
FUNDING, OR AT LEAST THE
DEFUNDING THAT PRO-LIFE
GROUPS WANT TO SEE A
PRESIDENT TRUMP DO PRONTO.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK
WITH LEILA ROSE, THE
C.E.O. OF LIVE ACTION, WHO
WILL BE IN THE THICK OF
THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO
THIS PRO-LIFE FIGHT.
WITHIN AND PART OF THAT
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
HAVE A LOOK AT OUR
INTERVIEW.
LEILA ROSE HERE, PRESIDENT
AND FOUNDER OF "LIVE
ACTION."
HELLO, LEILA.
HI, DAVID.
HOW ARE YOU?
David: WE'RE GOOD
FRIENDS, ARE WE NOT?
YES.
David: LET ME GET
YOUR TAKE ON THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY'RE COMING IN -- ARE
YOU HOPEFUL?
WHERE ARE YOU ON THE ONE
TO 10-METER WITH TRUMP?
I THINK WHEN IT COMES
TO LIFE, WE COULD HAVE THE
10, A CLEAR PATH TO
COMPLETE REDIRECTION OF
THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF
TAXPAYER MONEY AWAY FROM
THE BIGGEST ABORTION
PROVIDER.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS
KILLING OVER 320,000 KIDS
A YEAR.
THEY'RE GETTING OVER
$500 MILLION A YEAR.
THE FACT THAT TRUMP HAS
SAID HE WOULD DEFUND
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AND WE
HAVE THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE WITH STAUNCH
PRO-LIFE LEADERS, IT IS
POSSIBLE NOW AND THE JOB
NEEDS TO BE DONE.
David: HOW HEAVY OF
A LIFT IS THIS GOING TO
BE?
OR IS IT A LITTLE EASIER
THAN PEOPLE THINK?
NOT TO GET INTO THE BUDGET
RECONCILIATION, BUT THERE
IS A PATH HERE, RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY.
THE PATH IS TOTALLY THAT.
WE HAVE A MAJORITY IN THE
HOUSE -- ACTUALLY LAST
YEAR THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE PASSED A
RECONCILIATION SPENDING
BILL, THAT GOT TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S DESK
THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE 80% OF
FUNDING FOR PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
THAT WAS HUGE.
IT WOULD HAVE DEFUNDED
THEM $400 MILLION PLUS.
AND THEY NEED TO DO THAT
AGAIN.
SO THE PATH IS MORE CLEAR
THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN.
THERE IS NO REASON THEY
CAN'T DO IT, DAVID.
TRUMP CAMPAIGNED ON IT.
MANY OF THE FOLKS IN THE
SENATE AND THE HOUSE
CAMPAIGNED ON IT.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT SO
BADLY BECAUSE WE DON'T
WANT TAXPAYER FUNDING
GOING TOWARDS ABORTION.
THE FIGHT IS GOING TO BE,
I BELIEVE, IN THE COURT OF
PUBLIC OPINION AND
EDUCATING AMERICANS ABOUT
WHAT IS HAPPENING.
David: NUMEROUS
EDUCATION BECAUSE
INFORMATION IS KEY TO ALL
OF THIS.
AND WHAT IS THE TRUMP
STAFF, IF YOU WILL, NEED
TO UNDERSTAND?
WHAT IS THE ONE OR TWO KEY
INGREDIENTS OF INFORMATION
THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND TO
MAKE SURE THIS CAN BE WON
IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC
OPINION?
THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION.
I THINK SH O SOME OF THE FOLKS
SURROUNDING TRUMP ALREADY
GET IT.
KELLYANNE CONWAY GETS IT,
AND MIKE PENCE GETS IT ON
ABORTION.
AMERICANS DON'T SIT RIGHT
WITH ABORTION.
EXPLAIN WHAT THE ABORTION
PROCEDURE ACTUALLY DOES TO
THE CHILD.
EXPLAIN HOW IT IS AGAINST
THE WOMAN.
AND TOP, CANDID
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE
EXTREMISM OF GROUPS LIKE
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AS
HILLARY CLINTON WAS
EXTREME ON ABORTION, BILLY
RAY SMITABORTION,ABORTION THROUGH ALL NINE
MONTHS.
THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY SAID
TOBACCO WAS HEALTHY.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
PROVIDES LESS THAN 2% OF
CANCER SCREENINGS AND PAP
SMEARS FOR WOMEN.
THEY ARE FOCUSED ON
ABORTION, AND THAT NEEDS
TO GET OUT TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
David: TALK A LITTLE
ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE COMING
IN JANUARY.
YOU GUYS HAVE THESE
COMPAIGNS THAT ARE LIKE --
TALK ABOUT TENS OF
MILLIONS OF HITS.
TELL ME ABOUT THIS NEW
ONE.
LIVE ACTION IS GEARING
UP TO GO INTO THAT COURT
OF PUBLIC OPINION AND TO
TEACH WHAT A PLANNED
PARENTHOOD ACTUALLY IS AND
WHAT THEY DO.
WE HAVE A MINI DOCU SERIES
WILL BE SHOWING, THAT WILL
EXPOSING UNDERCOVER
INVESTIGATIVE FOOTAGE,
EXPOSING THAT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD IS FOCUSED
MYOPICLY ON ABORTION,
KILLING CHILDREN, TELLING
WOMEN THAT THIS IS THE
BEST PATH.
THEY'RE STRAIGHT UP LYING
TO THE AMERICAN WOMEN
ABOUT PROVIDING OPTIONS,
PRENATAL CARE, ABOUT
PROVIDING OTHER SERVICES.
AND THEIR COATING OR
SHIELDING THEIR
CORPORATION WITH THESE
LIES.
THEY'RE NOT ABOUT HEALTH.
THEY'RE ABOUT ABORTION.
David: ALL RIGHT,
WHEN WE COME BACK, IT'S
THE "B" BLOCK.
JENNY IS TALKING ABOUT
PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
OVERSEAS IN TURKEY.
BACK IN A MOMENT.
David: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY, TO THE BRODY
FILE.
BY THE WAY, A NEW REPORT
OUT SHOWING THAT
CHRISTIANS ARE THE MOST
PERSECUTED RELIGIOUS GROUP
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
AND REALLY IT SHOULD COME
AS NO SURPRISE.
WE SEE STORIES OF
RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION OF
CHRISTIANS ALL OVER THE
GLOBE IN THIS WORLD.
ONE OF THOSE PLACES IS
TURKEY AND JENNIFER
WISHON, HERE IN THE "B"
BLOCK, HAS THAT STORY OF
PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS IN
TURKEY, UP AGAINST IT.
Jennifer: IN TURKEY,
AMERICAN PASTOR ANDREW
BRUNSON SITS IN PRISON,
FACING TRUMPED UP CHARGES
OF TERRORISM.
SO TODAY I WOULD ARGUE
THAT TURKEY --
PARTICULARLY TURKEY'S
CHRISTIANS AND JEWS ARE
GOING THROUGH A VERY
DIFFICULT PERIOD.
Jennifer: DR. ADAMIR
IS A MUSLIM TURK WHO HAS
DEDICATED HIS CAREER TO
HELPING CHRISTIANS, JEWS,
AND OTHER RELIGIOUS
MINORITIES GAINFUL
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN HIS
COUNTRY.
HE FACED ROAD BLOCKS.
NOW HE ADVOCATES FROM
WASHINGTON, D.C., WORKING
WITH THE FOUNDATION FOR
THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY.
I THINK CHRISTIANS HAVE
LEARNED TO LIVE UNDER
CONSTANT THREAT OF
PHYSICAL OR SYMBOLIC
VIOLENCE.
THEY'RE USED TO CONSTANT
MESSAGES OF HATE.
THEY'RE USED TO TURKEY'S
CULTURE OF IMPUNITY.
MEANING THEY KNOW THAT
THERE WILL BE LENIENT
SENTENCING TO THE
ASSAILANTS.
Jennifer: AND THINGS
GOT WORSE LAST SUMMER
AFTER A COUP ATTEMPTED TO
TOPPLE ERDOGAN.
SINCE THE COUP, IT HAS
GOTTEN WORSE.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
TURKEY, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT BASICALLY THE
BIBLICAL LANDS.
THIS IS THE COUNTRY THAT
HOSTS A LOT OF THE JEWISH
AND CHRISTIAN SITES.
SO THERE IS A VERY RICH
HERITAGE, AND IT IS SO SAD
TO SEE HOW TURKEY'S
ISLAMISTS NOT ONLY
MARGINALIZE THEM BUT
PORTRAY THEM AS BEING
FOREIGN.
Jennifer: HE FEARS
OTHER PROTESTANT PASTORS
AND MISSIONARIES COULD BE
FRAMED BY SECURITY FORCES,
LIKE PASTOR BRUNSON.
AND FOLLOWING THE COUP, IT
IS HARD TO FIND TURKS
WILLING TO SPEAK OUT FOR
THEIR CHRISTIAN NEIGHBORS.
THE MAJORITY OF
CITIZENS ARE AFRAID TO
TALK.
BECAUSE SINCE JULY 15th,
HUNDREDS -- 10,000 CIVIL
SERVANTS HAVE BEEN FIRED
FROM THEIR JOBS.
30,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED.
HUNDREDS OF NEWS OUTLETS,
INCLUDING NEWSPAPERS,
MAGAZINES, TV, AND RADIO
STATIONS, HAVE BEEN
CLOSED.
Jennifer: IT IS AN
ISSUE PRESIDENT-ELECT
TRUMP WILL HAVE TO
CONFRONT.
AS ADAMIR AND OTHERS FEAR
AMERICA'S NATO ALLY
INCREASING RESEMBLES AN
AUTHORITARIAN REGIME.
JENNIFER WISHON FOR "THE
BRODY FILE."
David: ALL RIGHT.
WHEN WE COME BACK,
OBAMACARE, FRONT AND
CENTER WITH THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
HOW CAN THEY GO ABOUT
REPEALING AND REPLACING
THIS THING?
ANSWERS FROM AMBER C.
STRONG WHEN WE COME BACK.
David: AND WELCOME
BACK TO "THE BRODY FILE."
TIME TO TALK ABOUT
OBAMACARE.
SORRY, LIBERALS, IT IS
GOING AWAY.
NOW, THE GOOD NEWS FOR
YOU, LIBERALS, IS THAT IT
WILL GO AWAY SLOWLY.
THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
REPEAL THIS THING RIGHT
AWAY ALL TOGETHER.
BUT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR
YOU, LIBERALS, IT IS GOING
AWAY.
GUARANTEED.
MORE ON THAT FROM AMBER C.
STRONG.
Reporter: THE RESULTS
ARE IN AND IT IS A BIG WIN
FOR OBAMACARE, AS LEAST
WHEN IT COMES TO THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEKING
COVERAGE.
President Obama: IF
YOU'RE NOT COVERED YET,
NOW IS THE TIME TO SIGN
UP.
Reporter: 6.4 MILLION
AMERICANS SIGNED UP FOR
THE HEALTH CARE CHANGE IN
2017.
THAT IS UP 400,000 FROM
THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
IT IS A MAD DASH FOR
COVERAGE BEFORE A
REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED
CONGRESS AND
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP TAKE
OFFICE.
A NEW ADMINISTRATION COULD
SPELL A BIG LOSS FOR
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
SIGNATURE HEALTH CARE
BILL.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HOPE
TO PASS A BUDGET IN
JANUARY THAT COULD ALLOW
THEM TO QUICKLY APPEAL THE
ACT.
THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH
AND HUMAN SERVICES, HEBI
TROY, TELL CBN NEWS IT
WON'T BE AS EASY AS MOST
PEOPLE THINK.
WE'RE NOT SURE WE CAN
REPEAL THE WHOLE THING.
IF THEY DO SO, THEY
RECOGNIZE THERE ARE NOT 60
REPUBLICAN VOTES IN THE
SENATE.
SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING CALLED
RECONCILIATION, WHICH IS A
BUDGETARY MECHANISM THAT
LET'S YOU PASS SOMETHING
WITH ONLY 51 VOTES IN THE
SENATE, BUT IT LIMITS WHAT
YOU CAN DO.
THEY CAN'T DO A BILL THAT
SAYS WE HEREBY REPEAL
EVERY PART OF THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
Reporter: TROY
ENCOURAGES THEM TO TAKE A
DIFFERENT PATH THAN
PUSHING THROUGH ONE BIG
BILL.
HE SUGGESTS THEY COME UP
WITH HEALTH REFORMS THAT
MAKE INSURANCE CHEAPER AND
EASIER TO PURCHASE.
THEY WILL HAVE TO
TARGET WHATEVER REFORM OR
REPLACEMENT THEY DO TO
MAKE SURE THOSE 20 MILLION
PEOPLE ARE NOT DISRUPTED
AND CAN GET SOME CARE.
Reporter: AND ANOTHER
TARGET COULD BE DEFUNDING
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
LAST GO AROUND, CONGRESS
PUSHED TO CUT MEDICAID
MONEY TO PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
FOR NOW, THAT STILL
APPEARS TO BE THE PLAN.
WE HAVE ALREADY SHOWN
WHAT WE BELIEVE WITH
RESPECT TO FUNDING OF
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
WE PUT A BILL ON PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S DESK AND OUR
POSITION DID NOT CHANGE.
Reporter: PRESIDENT
OBAMA VETOED THAT BILL,
BUT A NEW PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS COMING TO TOWN AND
PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES HOPE TO
GAIN GROUND.
LAST YEAR THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE PASSED A
RECONCILIATION SPENDING
BILL THAT GOT TO PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S DESK THAT DIDN'T
INCLUDE 80% OF FUNDING FOR
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
THAT WOULD HAVE DEFUNDED
THEM $400 MILLION PLUS.
AND THEY NEED TO DO THAT
AGAIN.
THE PATH IS MORE CLEAR
THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN.
Reporter: WHAT ELSE
IS ON SPEAKER RYAN'S WISH
LIST?
FIXING A BROKEN TAX CODE,
AND GETTING RID OF
GOVERNMENT OVERREACH, ARE
PRIORITIES.
David: AMBER C.
STRONG HERE ON "THE BRODY
FILE."
WHEN WE COME BACK, DR. BEN
CARSON IS GOING TO PART OF
TRUMP'S CABINET, HOUSING
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
SECRETARY.
WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
ANSWERS FROM SOMEONE WHO
David: AND WELCOME
BACK TO, EVERYBODY, TO
"THE BRODY FILE".
> HEY, BEN CARSON,
NOMINATED BY DONALD TRUMP
TO BE HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY, OR
THE SECRETARY OF HOUSING
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT --
HOWEVER YOU WANT TO SAY
IT.
A LOT OF FOLKS THOUGHT HE
MIGHT GET THE HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES SLOT, BUT
HE DIDN'T.
WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT,
HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION,
TWO CRUCIAL PARTS OF THE
STRUCTURE WITHIN MANY
URBAN COMMUNITIES AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
AND DR. CARSON WILL
PROBABLPROBABLY DO A GOOD JOB.
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD.
WE DISCUSS THAT WITH,
GUESS WHO, AMBER C.
STRONG.
HAVE A LOOK.
THE RUMOR IS THAT
DR. CARSON WAS OFFERED
SEVERAL POSITIONS, BUT HE
CHOICE HUD, WHY?
I KNOW HE WANTED TO BE
IN HUD.
THEY SAY SURGEON GENERAL
WOULD MATCH HIM BETTER
BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT
EXPERIENCES IN THOSE
AREAS, BUT HUD IS GROUND
ZERO FOR SOLVING ISSUES OF
POVERTY IN OUR NATION.
WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS
WAR ON POVERTY FOR 50
YEARS, AND WE'RE LOSING.
AND DR. CARSON AND HIS
WIFE CANDY HAVE DONE A LOT
OF WORK TO EMPOWER AND
INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE AND TO SERVE
COMMUNITIES.
I THINK HE REALLY HAS A
HEART FOR THIS ISSUE.
AND HE IS A
RESULTS-DRIVEN,
OUTCOME-DRIVEN
SOLUTIONIST, AND THAT'S
WHAT WE NEED.
WE DON'T NEED POLITICIANS.
WE DON'T NEED THE
CONSULTANT CLASS.
WE DON'T NEED PEOPLE WHO
ARE INVESTED IN IDEOLOGY.
WE NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE
INVESTED IN OUTCOMES, AND
THAT'S WHAT DR. CARSON IS.
SPEAKING OF DR. CARSON,
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CANDY
CARSON, SHE HAS BEEN SO
PIVOTAL WITH HIS OUTREACH
WITH HER READING ROOMS AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
HOW MUCH OF A VOICE WAS
SHE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
AND HOW MUCH WILL SHE BE
IN HIS FUTURE?
WELL, THEY ARE A TEAM.
TO SPEAK TO WHAT SHE WILL
DO IN RELATION TO HUD, SHE
IS HIS WIFE AND HIS
GREATEST CHAMPION.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEING
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH
THEM.
THEY ARE -- AND YOU'VE HAD
A CHANCE TO BE AROUND THEM
BOTH.
DR. CARSON IS VERY CALM
AND CANDY CARSON IS A BALL
OF ENERGY.
SHE IS JUST A FIERCE
FORCE.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN A TEAM
FOR 40 YEARS.
AND FOR ME TO GET A CHANCE
TO GET TO KNOW THEM AND
SEE THEM TOGETHER, WORKING
TOGETHER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
AND HELP ADVANCE
OPPORTUNITIES TO KIDS AND
OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS WITH
THE CARSON SCHOLARSHIP
FUND, THAT WAS A GREAT
THING TO BE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THAT
DR. CARSON AND CANDY
CARSON HAVE HAD WITH THEIR
READING ROOMS.
I THINK THERE IS 160
READING ROOMS ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES.
David: THANK YOU,
AMBER C. STRONG.
BACK IN A MOMENT WITH AN
OY-VEY MOMENT OF THE WEEK
WITH A LOT OF GIBBERISH
David: WELCOME BACK
TO "THE BRODY FILE."
IT'S NEW YEAR AND WE WANT
TO START IT OFF FRESH.
TIME FOR THE OY-VEY MOMENT
OF THE WEEK.
*
[HAVA NAGILA]
David: ONE OF THE
THINGS WE DO ON "THE BRODY
FILE" IS WE HAVE A LOT OF
GIBBERISH AND WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT WE'RE SAYING,
OVER ALL.
THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
OF WHEN I HAD NOT A CLUE I
WAS SAYING.
IT HAPPENED ON "THE 700
CLUB" DURING A LIVE SHOT.
I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF
TROUBLE GETTING THIS WORD
OUT.
THERE ARE FOLKS UP HERE ON
CAPITOL HILL THAT WOULD
LIKE TO SEE IT BE FOUR
PLUS YEARS.
NOW, THAT'S SO MUCH -- SO
MUCH -- SO -- SO MUCH --
SO -- EXCUSE ME, I CAN'T
EVEN SAY IT.
IT IS SOMEWHAT OF A NON
STARTER, IF YOU WILL.
THERE IT IS, THE OY-VEY
MOMENT OF THE WEEK.
I AM THIS WEEK'S OY-VEY
MOMENT OF THE WEEK.
HEY.
ALL RIGHT.
I WIN A TROPHY.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
EVERYBODY, GOD BLESS YOU.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH
COVERAGE OF THIS
INAUGURATION.
President-elect
TRUMP: WOW!
AMAZING.
AMAZING!
OH, THAT IS AMAZING!
David: WAIT UNTIL
YOU SEE THIS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
