The Todd Huff Radio Show

Narratives are powerful—but only until facts intervene. On today's episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd Huff breaks down the rapidly collapsing narrative surrounding the tragic Minneapolis ICE shooting and explains why labeling it “murder” is not only reckless, but dishonest. As new bodycam footage and factual details emerge, Todd walks listeners through what actually happened, why self-defense cannot be dismissed, and how political activists and media figures rush to judgment to serve a broader agenda. This episode examines how emotionally charged storytelling replaces truth, why presumption of innocence still matters, and how Proverbs 18:17 offers wisdom for our modern outrage culture. Calm analysis, legal clarity, and moral perspective—all in one essential conversation.

What's unfolding in Minnesota should alarm anyone who believes in law, order, and public safety. In today's episode, Todd breaks down the volatile ICE raid in Minneapolis that ended in a fatal shooting and sparked calls for invoking the Insurrection Act. We walk through the facts, the disturbing rise in vehicle attacks against ICE and CBP agents, and how radical rhetoric from political leaders has fueled dangerous confrontations in the streets. Todd also examines the role of Governor Tim Walz, the media narrative surrounding the incident, and why enforcing immigration law is being falsely framed as tyranny. This is a sobering look at how chaos, misinformation, and political gaslighting put lives at risk—and where this confrontation may be headed next.

What's happening in Minnesota is a shocking case study in government failure, fraud, and zero accountability. In today's episode, Todd Huff breaks down explosive audit findings that reveal hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars handed out with little to no oversight—fabricated documents, conflicts of interest, and asleep at the wheel. From massive COVID-era scams to nonprofit abuse and leadership failures at the state level, this story exposes the dangerous myth that government simply needs to “do more.” If you care about fiscal responsibility, transparency, and the Constitution's limits on power, this episode pulls back the curtain on why blind faith in government always ends the same way. Conservative. Not bitter. Just the truth.

As we move into a new year and face another midterm election cycle, it's easy to feel discouraged—but that's not the full story. In today's episode, Todd Huff walks through several underreported developments that suggest the political landscape is shifting in meaningful ways. From the declining effectiveness of government shutdown threats, to the dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, to major fraud exposure in Minnesota daycare programs, real accountability is finally emerging. Todd explains why these moments matter, why they signal a more informed electorate, and why conservatives should be cautiously optimistic—without ever declaring victory. This fight for liberty never ends, but there are clear signs that the momentum is changing. Realism, vigilance, and perspective are the keys moving forward.

Five years after January 6, Todd Huff sits down with Dan Morrissey to tell a story the media never wanted you to hear. Dan shares his firsthand account of walking into the U.S. Capitol, what he saw that day, and the shocking legal nightmare that followed. From being swatted at airports and labeled a terrorist to exposing alleged prosecutorial misconduct and rejecting a presidential pardon, Dan's experience raises serious questions about due process, justice, and the weaponization of government power. This is not a rehash of headlines — it's a personal, detailed account of how January 6 changed one man's life and what it reveals about the American legal system today. A must-listen conversation on truth, accountability, and Patriots Day.

What really prompted the United States to move against Venezuela—and why now? In today's episode, Todd Huff breaks down the headlines, strips away the knee-jerk reactions, and walks through the deeper geopolitical realities behind America's response to the Maduro regime. This isn't just about ideology or oil. It's about narco-terrorism, state-enabled crime, authoritarian power, and national security in our own hemisphere. Todd explains how Venezuela became a criminal state, the role of drug trafficking networks, foreign adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran, and why this situation directly impacts the United States. If you want context, clarity, and conservative perspective—this episode delivers.

As 2025 comes to a close, Todd Huff reflects on what lies ahead—not predictions, but purposeful hope. In this New Year's Eve ToddCast, Todd shares what he hopes to see in 2026 and beyond for America: a stronger economy, restored law and order, real accountability in government, renewed respect for truth, and a deeper commitment to the principles that built this constitutional republic. This episode challenges listeners to understand hope not as wishful thinking, but as something tied to action, responsibility, and engagement. Todd also explains why rejecting truth leads to chaos—and why conservatives must continue to speak clearly, boldly, and faithfully in the year ahead. A timely, motivating message to end the year and prepare for what's next.

As 2025 comes to a close, Todd Huff lays out what lies ahead in 2026 — politically, economically, and culturally. From the midterm election landscape and potential House and Senate outcomes to economic growth, inflation realities, tariffs, immigration enforcement, and voter roll cleanup, this episode prepares listeners for what's coming next. Todd also discusses the likelihood of government shutdowns, escalating media attacks, conservative infighting, independent journalism exposing corruption, and unresolved questions surrounding Epstein. This isn't prediction — it's expectation, grounded in history, human nature, and hard political realities. Buckle up, because 2026 is shaping up to be a high-stakes year for liberty, accountability, and the future of the country.

As 2025 comes to a close, Todd Huff breaks down the five most consequential stories that will shape America not just next year, but for years to come. This isn't a simple year-in-review — it's a forward-looking analysis of the events already changing the political, economic, and cultural trajectory of the nation. From redistricting battles and economic recovery to border enforcement, the return of Donald Trump to the White House, and the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, Todd explains why these moments matter far beyond the headlines. Plus, honorable mentions that nearly made the list, including the administrative state, judicial overreach, foreign policy shifts, and restoring law and order. Clear-eyed analysis, big-picture thinking, and unapologetic conservative truth.

Guest host Gary Varvel delivers a powerful Christmas Eve message examining the moral chaos gripping America through a biblical lens. Drawing from Romans, Isaiah, and the New Testament, Gary argues that today's cultural confusion, violence, and lawlessness are not random—but the result of a society that has rejected God and truth. He explains why political solutions, legislation, and government programs cannot fix a spiritual problem, and why secularism always leads to decay. In the midst of sobering realities, Gary points listeners back to the true hope of Christmas: Jesus Christ, the Savior who came not to affirm us, but to rescue us. A clear-eyed, unapologetic message of warning, redemption, and eternal hope.

On the eve of Christmas Eve, Todd takes on the growing clash between Christian faith and modern politics. From headlines accusing “MAGA Christianity” of oppression to real-world persecution of Christians abroad, this episode cuts through the noise and challenges false narratives head-on. Todd responds to media attacks on believers, unpacks claims from progressive pastors, and contrasts political outrage with the brutal reality facing Christians in places like Nigeria. Along the way, he reminds listeners what Christianity actually teaches about prayer, government, sin, repentance, and truth. As Christmas approaches, this conversation refocuses the season on Christ—not culture wars—and asks a simple but urgent question: are critics defending faith, or distorting it?

Can someone reject belief in God and still align with conservative values? Todd Huff sits down with Lauren Ell, President of Republican Atheists, for a candid and respectful conversation about faith, politics, and the idea of a “big tent” Republican Party. Broadcasting during Christmas week, the discussion explores atheism, conservatism, freedom, personal responsibility, and why some atheists are increasingly alienated by the political left. Lauren shares her journey from Southern California to Sweden, her upbringing in a loosely Christian household, and why she believes atheists who value limited government and cultural sanity deserve a place at the table. A thoughtful exchange on disagreement without hostility—and what unity really requires.

President Trump delivers a powerful year-end address reflecting on the chaos he inherited and the dramatic changes made in just eleven months. In today's episode, Todd breaks down Trump's speech from the White House, highlighting border security, falling inflation, restored energy independence, and a renewed focus on law and order. The conversation looks back at how bad things were under the Biden administration, why Americans can't afford to forget that reality, and what's at stake as the country heads toward the 2026 midterms. This episode is a reminder of how quickly policy matters—and why controlling the narrative is critical as America continues the work of restoring constitutional order, economic stability, and national confidence.

Republicans had the votes. They had the authority. And they still walked away. In today's show, Todd Huff breaks down Indiana Republicans' refusal to redistrict—and why that decision could prove catastrophic for conservatives nationwide. While Democrats openly prepare to redraw maps in states they control, GOP leadership once again chooses restraint, optics, and moral posturing over victory. Todd reacts to statements from Indiana lawmakers, examines the flawed arguments against mid-cycle redistricting, and explains why “playing fair” in a political cold civil war guarantees defeat. This episode is a blunt warning: when conservatives refuse to use lawful power, the left never hesitates—and the consequences are real.

President Trump announces a firm new blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers, calling the Maduro regime a national security threat tied to narco-terrorism and criminal networks. Is this lawful enforcement of sanctions—or a dangerous step toward war? Todd breaks down the constitutional, strategic, and humanitarian arguments on both sides, cutting through the noise to explain what this move actually means for America and the world.Then, the focus shifts home as a new report reveals a staggering truth: federal government spending per person has exploded nearly 10,000% over the past century. From entitlements to debt interest now rivaling defense spending, Todd explains why Washington's addiction to spending threatens economic sanity—and why avoiding entitlement reform is no longer an option.

In today's Toddcast, Todd Huff addresses a tragic and emotionally charged story that has ignited political backlash and cultural outrage. Following the murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Todd examines President Trump's controversial Truth Social response and the broader reaction from both the left and the right. This episode isn't about defending bad comments or excusing cruelty—it's about drawing clear moral lines. Todd contrasts decency versus mockery, justice versus violence, and politics versus the value of human life. He also challenges conservatives to reject the same depravity they condemn and calls for restraint, empathy, and moral clarity. Ultimately, Todd makes the case that America's deepest crisis isn't political—it's spiritual—and that only truth, accountability, and the Gospel can heal a broken culture.

Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith joins Todd Huff to break down the fallout from Friday's redistricting defeat in the Indiana Senate and what it signals about the GOP divide inside a deep-red state. They discuss the 31–19 vote, leadership dynamics around Senate Pro Tem Rod Bray, reports of behind-the-scenes pressure, and why the America First base is preparing for an aggressive 2026 primary season. Plus: why activists matter, what's next for conservative accountability, and why “deals” with Democrats often backfire.

Todd Huff opens with a big first-segment interview featuring Mike Lindell, Founder & CEO of MyPillow and newly announced Minnesota gubernatorial candidate, on why he's jumping into the fight against Tim Walz, election integrity, and the “uniparty” problem Republicans keep ignoring. They cover paper ballots vs. machines, welfare fraud allegations in Minnesota, ICE cooperation, and the weaponization of government against political enemies and businesses. In the second half, Todd breaks down Indiana's failed redistricting vote and explains what accountability looks like next—including partnering with grassroots efforts to replace the Republicans who blocked the map changes.

Indiana's state senate is on the brink of a razor-thin vote on new congressional maps, and Todd breaks down why this redistricting fight matters far beyond the Hoosier State. He explains how the battle pits conservatives against GOP moderates and rhinos, what's really at stake for America's future, and why Trump-era grassroots pressure is reshaping the Republican Party. Todd also calls out weak leadership, talks about the role of Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, and reminds listeners why political power unused is power surrendered. Plus, a candid reflection on loving America as founded and confronting those who openly despise liberty.

Todd breaks down why he believes Indiana must approve new congressional maps and why many of the loudest objections completely miss the point. He connects the redistricting fight to basic civics and federalism, arguing that states were designed to be “laboratories” that can learn from one another instead of bowing to Washington's top down control. Todd also ties in inflation, Democrat spending, and illegal immigration to explain why sending more Democrats to Congress undermines Hoosier values. Plus, he responds to some of the more unhinged social media attacks and walks through how other states like Texas, California, Virginia, and Florida are handling their own redistricting battles.

Todd explains why Indiana has suddenly become the political epicenter of the country as the redistricting fight heats up at the Statehouse. He shares what really happened at Friday's Turning Point Action rally, including protests, hissing from the balcony, and yet another failed attempt to get answers from his own state senator, Rod Bray. Todd walks through why redistricting is a constitutional political process, how counting illegal aliens in the census dilutes Indiana's voice, and why Republicans must use every legal and ethical tool available to stop the radical left's agenda. He also reacts to Lara Logan's warning about Democrats using future elections to impeach Trump and makes a clear call for Hoosiers to organize, engage, and hold weak Republicans accountable.

Indiana's redistricting battle is turning into a real time civics lesson. Todd recaps his speech at the Indiana Statehouse during a Turning Point USA event, the hostile protesters chanting from the balcony, and why his 16 year old son was worried about safety after recent attacks on conservatives. He breaks down what a constitutional republic actually is, why redrawing congressional maps is a political but constitutional process, and how the Left misuses words like “cheating” and “democracy” to shut down debate. Todd explains how population shifts, the census, and congressional seats really work, and why Republicans in Indiana should stop being afraid to use the legitimate power they've been given.

Todd breaks down the high-stakes redistricting battle in Indiana and why it could decide control of Congress for the rest of the Trump administration. He's joined by special guest Paul Lagemann, State Advocacy Manager for Heritage Action, to explain how mid-decade redistricting works, why Democrats are crying “unfair,” and what “honest” map-drawing really looks like. They dig into the history of gerrymandering, the impact of counting non-citizens in the census, and the pressure campaign on key Indiana senators ahead of Monday's vote. Todd also highlights how Hoosiers can engage their legislators without joining the left's screaming matches.

Todd breaks down why Indiana's redistricting fight matters far beyond the Hoosier state. He answers a listener's question about why Indiana “needs” to redraw its congressional map, explains what the Constitution actually says about redistricting, and pushes back on claims that new maps somehow “take away representation.” Todd contrasts traditional Hoosier Democrats with today's radical national Democrat leadership, warns about federal overreach on borders, culture, and spending, and argues that refusing to redraw maps is unilateral political disarmament. He also previews his remarks at the Turning Point Action event at the Indiana Statehouse and encourages listeners to make their voices heard with their state senators.

Indiana redistricting is suddenly the center of the political universe, and Todd breaks down why. National Enterprise Director for Turning Point Action, Brett Galaszewski, joins the show to explain how new House maps in this deep red state could decide who controls Congress after the 2026 midterms, why Indiana is now a firewall against Gavin Newsom and the radical left, and what's really driving some “Republicans” to resist a 9–0 GOP map. Todd and Brett preview Friday's All In For Indiana rally at the Statehouse, talk strategy for calling key senators, and challenge conservatives to use every legal, moral tool available to save the constitutional republic.

Indiana's back on the national radar as lawmakers reopen the congressional map and launch a fierce redistricting battle that could help decide who controls the House of Representatives. Todd explains why he supports revisiting Indiana's districts now, what's really driving the “cheating” and “election rigging” accusations, and how narrow the GOP margin in Congress actually is. He walks through claims that the new map violates the state constitution, hits the myths about gerrymandering and “proportional representation,” and connects it all to a broader fight against the weaponization of government, open borders, and counting illegal aliens in the census. Plus, why conservatives must use every legal political tool available if they want to stop the radical left's agenda.

Redistricting isn't as complicated as the political class wants you to think. Today, Todd explains what's happening with Indiana's congressional maps, why Trump is urging Republican governors to secure new GOP-leaning districts, and how it all ties into control of the US House and the future of his agenda. Todd breaks down gerrymandering vs normal redistricting, the role of state legislatures, and why many “moderate” Democrats from red states still end up empowering radical leftist leadership in Washington. He also calls out Indiana Senate leader Rod Bray for dodging transparency on this fight and explains why constitutional conservatives must use every legal, moral, and ethical tool to defend liberty.

On this special Thanksgiving edition of the Todd Huff Show, Todd tells the true story of Thanksgiving you didn't learn in public school. He walks through the faith and sacrifice of the Pilgrims, their fight for religious liberty, the brutal first winter, the providential role of Squanto, and the moment Governor William Bradford rejected forced socialism and embraced private property and free market capitalism. Todd explains how this shift unleashed prosperity, helped spark the Great Puritan Migration, and still shapes American life and freedom today. Plus, he connects the Pilgrims' gratitude to God with our own need to remember the real source of our blessings.

When Des Moines hired Ian Andre Roberts to run Iowa's largest school district, nobody told the public he was under a final order of removal and here illegally. Now Maryland records show he was also listed as a registered Democrat voter, despite non-citizens being barred from federal elections. Todd unpacks how this happened, what it reveals about motor-voter auto registration, and why the Left keeps insisting our elections are “the most secure in history” anyway. Then we pivot to shocking crime data from Sweden, Oakland, and the U.S. Sentencing Commission showing that a tiny 0.1–1% of chronic violent offenders are driving a huge share of violent crime—and why real incarceration of repeat offenders still matters.

Tensions in Dearborn, Michigan are boiling over, and today we break down why. Todd walks through the clash between a local Christian pastor and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud after the city put up street signs honoring Arab American publisher Osama Siblani, whose past quotes appear to praise violent “resistance” against Israel. We listen to the fiery city council exchange, including the mayor telling the pastor he's “not welcome” in his own city, then zoom out to talk about Islamic call-to-prayer broadcasts, Sharia law, and what all of this means for free speech, religious liberty, and America's Christian heritage. Todd contrasts coexistence rooted in truth with dangerous ideologies that openly call the U.S. the “great Satan” and warns why ignoring these trends won't make them go away.

Democrats in Congress are now cutting slick videos aimed straight at America's men and women in uniform, hinting they should refuse “illegal orders” from a second President Trump. Todd breaks down the new clip featuring Rep Jason Crow and others, why Martha MacCallum's simple question about “which orders” left Crow scrambling, and how the left keeps feeding a dangerous narrative that Trump is a dictator and MAGA is the new Nazi movement. We walk through what the Constitution actually says about the commander in chief, the difference between an unlawful order and a political disagreement, and why winning at the ballot box is still the only real way to stop this madness. Plus, a look ahead to Todd's favorite show of the year — the true story of Thanksgiving.

Washington is getting ready to dump thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein related documents, and Todd explains why this so-called transparency could quickly turn into a political circus. We walk through the Epstein Files Transparency Act, what the DOJ's 30-day clock really means, and how both the media and political opportunists will try to weaponize whatever Trump's name is attached to while ignoring context, nuance, and truth. Todd also breaks down Rep Jasmine Crockett's embarrassing FEC “Jeffrey Epstein” stunt, talks about low information voters, abortion talking points, and why conservatives need to stay skeptical, think for themselves, and refuse to join the hysteria when the headlines and hot takes start flying.

America is locked in what Todd calls a “cold civil war” that is getting hotter by the day. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempt on President Trump's life to Hunter Biden's “turn the heat up” rhetoric, the radical left is abandoning persuasion in favor of intimidation and political violence. Todd explains why this meets the definition of terrorism, why there must be a clear winner in this ideological battle, and why that victory must be peaceful, legal, and led through elections and accountability. He also breaks down a new Axios poll showing most Americans fear civil war and democratic decline, and calls out Indiana GOP leaders like Senator Rod Bray for refusing to fight on redistricting.

Jeffrey Epstein's name is back in the headlines as Congress releases tens of thousands of pages of “Epstein files.” But what's actually in these documents, what's missing, and how much is being twisted for political gain? Today Todd walks through the new records from the House Oversight Committee, the DOJ, and Epstein's estate, explains the now-viral email mentioning Donald Trump, and clarifies what Virginia Giuffre really testified under oath. We separate justice from retribution, evidence from speculation, and truth from conspiracy-as-entertainment while asking who, if anyone, is serious about the victims and accountability. If you're tired of weaponized narratives and just want an honest look at the Epstein case, this episode is for you.

Indiana Republicans are balking at a special session on redistricting, and Todd is fired up. Why does redrawing Indiana's congressional maps matter not just for Hoosiers, but for the future of the country and the survival of our constitutional republic? Todd breaks down the “cold civil war” between two incompatible worldviews, calls out Senate leader Rod Bray for refusing to even hold an open debate, and explains how this cowardice could hand Democrats the House, endless Trump impeachment hearings, and a green light for the radical left's agenda. Plus, what real leadership should look like in a red state and why Republican voters must hold their so-called leaders accountable.

Today, we dig into fresh USDA data pointing to waste, fraud, and mismanagement inside SNAP, including duplicate recipients and even payments tied to the deceased. We walk through what that means for taxpayers and for families who truly need help. Then we tackle the Trump administration's push to designate Antifa-linked groups as foreign terrorist organizations and why the Left insists Antifa is “just an idea.” Finally, we break down a striking Gallup finding: 40% of young liberal women say they'd move out of America if they could. What's fueling the disillusionment, and what does it say about our culture? Conservative, not bitter—straight talk, good humor, and practical truth to end your week.

Who actually won the 43-day shutdown? Today we unpack the fallout and the next funding cliff, including what the continuing resolution really did and why the battle over enhanced Obamacare subsidies is far from over. We also break down John Fetterman's pushback on The View and with Dana Bash, what it reveals about the fracturing Left, and why the media's outrage machine keeps missing the point. Plus, some good news you won't hear elsewhere: real crime reductions tied to enforcement and a massive rescue of missing kids. Conservative, not bitter—and laser-focused on truth, accountability, and results. Tap play and let's sort the spin from the facts together.

The White House marked Anti Communism Week, and we're digging into why it matters. Todd lays out the hard truth history won't erase—communist regimes murdered roughly 100 million people in the 20th century—then traces the ideology from Marx to Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, and why today's “democratic socialism” still points the same direction. We contrast equality of outcome with equality under freedom, revisit wisdom from Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan, and explain why America's founders built guardrails against government control. If you want clarity on the difference between compassionate charity and coercive state power—and why free people flourish—this one's for you. Conservative, not bitter… and absolutely pro-truth and pro-freedom.

The “Republican shutdown” storyline just met reality. Todd breaks down how eight Senate Democrats crossed the aisle, why the blame game blew up, and what the Schumer backlash reveals about the Left's priorities. We also hit The View's wild talking points, then preview President Trump's announced lawsuit against the BBC for selectively editing his January 6 remarks. Finally, on Veterans Day, Todd shares a heartfelt thanks to those who've worn the uniform and defended our liberty. Conservative, not bitter — energetic, factual, and clear about what matters: truth over narrative.

Government shutdown, Senate deal, filibuster—what actually happened? Today I walk through the 60–40 procedural vote where eight Democrats joined 52 Republicans, why Rand Paul broke ranks, and how a “clean CR” differs from this compromise. We unpack what's funded through September versus January, the guaranteed December vote on ACA subsidies, and why the Left's outrage at Chuck Schumer misses the point. If you've heard the chants about “what democracy looks like,” let's test that claim against reality—with clarity, not chaos. Conservative, not bitter, we cut through the noise and explain how the House, the filibuster, and appropriations really work—and what might happen next.

Todd breaks down why the now 38-day government shutdown has become the longest in U.S. history and how a narrow change to the Senate filibuster could reopen the government with a clean continuing resolution. He pushes back on the Left's narrative and plays a CNN clip featuring Rep. Hakeem Jeffries with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, noting how even legacy media is challenging Democratic talking points. Todd also digs into America's growing dependency on federal benefits, cites Reagan's measure of welfare success, and closes with James Carville's 2028 prediction about packing the Supreme Court. Plus: reminders about Todd Talks and The Inner Circle at ToddHuffShow.com. It's Conservative Not Bitter—clear, direct, and focused on winning at the ballot box.

Todd unpacks the rising fascination with democratic socialism and what it means for everyday Americans as New York City prepares for a Zohran Mamdani administration. From rent freezes and city-run grocery stores to free childcare and a $30 minimum wage push, Todd explains why price controls and top-down planning sound compassionate but break down in the real world. He walks through historical examples—from 1940s rent caps to the 1970s gas lines—to show how shortages, disinvestment, and lower quality follow government mandates. Plus, a quick note on the Senate filibuster chatter and why “there's no problem too big for government” is a dangerous creed. Conservative, not bitter—tune in and decide for yourself.

Todd reacts to Zohran Mamdani's New York City victory speech and the roaring crowd that cheered the line “no problem too large for government to solve.” In this episode, Todd contrasts big-government promises with Reagan's warning—“I'm from the government and I'm here to help”—and unpacks why identity-politics rhetoric resonates with voters despite its lack of substance. You'll hear multiple clips from Mamdani's speech with Todd's live interjections, then a candid discussion on first principles: limited government, individual responsibility, justice vs. “social justice,” and why trying to make the state a stand-in for God always fails. Plus, a quick tour through what last night's results signal for conservatives and why winning the battle of ideas matters more than ever.

Todd sits down with Beau Bayh, a Democrat running for Indiana Secretary of State, for a candid conversation about Indiana's push for mid-cycle redistricting. We dig into what gerrymandering looks like in practice, whether splitting counties like Marion makes sense, and how competition and trust shape healthy elections. Beau explains why he's taking this message to conservative audiences, what bipartisan commissions can and can't solve, and why he believes accountability—not party—should guide the office he's seeking. Todd shares concerns about rising partisanship and presses Beau on how today's Democratic Party compares to the Bayh legacy Hoosiers remember. If you care about election integrity, redistricting maps, and the future of Indiana politics, this one's worth your time.

Government shutdown day 34, and the spin is flying. Today Todd breaks down why Democrats—not Republicans—are keeping Washington closed and explains the simple filibuster fix that could end the standoff. We also dig into SNAP reform after USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins told Fox News that widespread abuse is being uncovered—plus what those numbers really mean for taxpayers and the truly needy. Then we pivot to border security: known or suspected terrorists stopped this year, ICE enforcement, and Trump's claim that raids “haven't gone far enough.” Finally, Todd reacts to the media outrage over JD Vance's comments about faith and his wife—and why wanting the best for your spouse isn't controversial. Includes a weekend Fox News soundbite with Brooke Rollins and the host. Conservative, not bitter… always.

Todd breaks down Trump's push to end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government amid the Schumer-led shutdown and explains how cloture actually works. He spotlights Democrats' messaging versus procedure, why a carve-out for clean CR votes could expose the real holdup, and Speaker Mike Johnson's framing of the fight. Todd also flags the Pentagon's quick reaction force guidance for National Guard units, reports of an 8,000% surge in threats against ICE, and why some in media are—at least for once—asking Democrats tough questions. Soundbites include Rep. Hakeem Jeffries with Kaitlan Collins and Speaker Mike Johnson. Plus, a quick note on Gen Z trending more conservative and what that could mean next cycle. Conservative, not bitter—as always.

Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and plays soundbites you need to hear—Democratic leaders acknowledging the shutdown as “leverage.” Hear clips from Rep. Catherine Clark, Sen. Chris Coons, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse as Todd explains why the Senate stalemate is intentional and how SNAP benefits are being used in the narrative. We also touch on media accountability, the “truth police” idea floated by Obama, and the entitlement mindset fueling social-media threats. Straight talk on the Constitution, liberty, and what it will take to end the Schumer-led stalemate—plus a reminder to stay grounded in truth, not fear.

Day 29 of the government shutdown and Todd makes the case that Senate Democrats—and Chuck Schumer—own it. We break down the cloture math, why the filibuster fight matters, and the 13 votes that kept the lights off. You'll also hear a striking C-SPAN call from a lifelong Democrat who says her party is holding Americans hostage, plus Todd's take on SNAP talking points and Jake Tapper's testy exchange with Rep. Melanie Stansbury. In segments two and three, Todd pivots to election integrity—from Harmit Dhillon's pressure on states over messy voter rolls to why list maintenance is basic common sense. We close with listener-focused updates and sponsors that support the show and our values. Conservative, not bitter—always.

Day 28 of the so-called “Schumer shutdown” and the chaos isn't an accident—it's a strategy. Today Todd breaks down why Senate math and Rule 22 matter, how the 17th Amendment rewired federalism, and why repealing it could change everything about modern shutdown politics. We also hit Indiana's surprise special session on redistricting, the left's campus and street activism from Antifa to AOC rallies, and Biden's latest speech about “protecting institutions.” Todd makes the case for restoring the Founders' safeguards so states—not parties—regain a real voice in Washington.

Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith joins Todd to unpack Indiana's looming redistricting fight and why he says Hoosiers' voice in Washington has been watered down. Beckwith explains the push for a special session, what fair maps should mean, and how national players and court fights factor in. They also hit the shift inside today's Democrat Party, the 17th Amendment's ripple effects on state power, and what listeners can do to move the needle with their state senators. Timely, candid, and focused on strategy, this conversation connects Indiana's battle to a wider national map war—and what it could mean for 2026 and beyond.

Todd walks through the stakes and the questions around Trump authorizing strikes against cartel targets, framing it within America's fentanyl and overdose crisis and the fight over border security. He lays out the rationale the White House gives, the legal gray zones of declaring a non-international armed conflict with “narco-terrorists,” and the prudential questions conservatives should ask any president who uses force abroad. Todd also shares context on border interdictions, why cartels target the U.S. market, and why reasonable people can see both risks and benefits in this approach. Plus: a quick Pacers double-OT recap and notes on show sponsors that help keep the program free for listeners.
