The Todd Huff Radio Show

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. Plus: flight delays, filibusters, and why low-information narratives keep winning.(Sponsor) Christopher’s Organic Botanicals — christophersorganicbotanicals.com • code: TODDHUFF(Sponsor) Soltea — soltea.com • code: TODD(Sponsor) Full Suite Wealth — fullsuitewealth.com(Sponsor) Four Eight Financial — 48financial.com/todd

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.

Todd breaks down day 23 of what he calls the Schumer shutdown and makes the case for suspending the Senate filibuster to reopen the government and end the political theater. He hits the alarm on a soaring $38 trillion federal debt, explains why a “clean CR” became a flashpoint, and argues Democrats are leveraging maximum pain for political gain. Todd then turns to the map wars—why mid-cycle redistricting in states like Indiana could reshape the House and why Republicans, in his view, should play hardball within legal bounds. Plus: a quick Pacers opening-night aside and why leadership means doing the hard things, not staging stunts. Conservative. Not bitter. As always.

Todd tackles the core question of the moment: should the Senate filibuster be set aside to reopen the government? He breaks down how cloture works, why a simple majority could be enough under the so-called “nuclear option,” and why he says this is a Schumer-led shutdown. Todd also reacts to Sen. John Fetterman’s surprising openness to scrapping the filibuster for funding bills and a rare moment of clarity on The View where Bernie Sanders concedes a fair point about lawmakers’ pay during a shutdown. Plus: the left’s outrage over Trump’s White House ballroom project, and what history tells us about renovations at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Conservative, not bitter—just the facts, the mechanics, and the stakes.

Todd breaks down the optics and fallout of the nationwide “No Kings” protests, arguing why the spectacle risks alienating moderates while only firing up the far left. Then he digs into day twenty one of the government shutdown—what the Senate filibuster means, the real strategy behind a longer continuing resolution, and who’s feeling the economic pinch. Finally, a rare twist from the Ninth Circuit: a panel decision that opens the door to federalizing the Oregon National Guard in Portland—what it means and what comes next. Plus, a quick note on gerrymandering battles and why the left suddenly wants a truce. Conservative not bitter, straight talk you won’t get from the legacy media.

Todd breaks down the weekend’s “No Kings” protests and explains what a monarchy really is—then contrasts it with America’s constitutional republic. From the Declaration and consent of the governed to separation of powers and Federalist 51, he lays out why executive authority isn’t a throne. Todd also addresses claims that Trump wants to be a king, the AI “crown” meme, and how checks and balances work when courts, Congress, and the White House collide. Plus: a commonsense look at border security, why moral character matters in self-government, and where we are on Day 20 of the Schumer shutdown—all in the signature Conservative Not Bitter style.

odd unpacks CNN’s town hall with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and explains why the left’s storyline on the ongoing government shutdown doesn’t add up. From filibuster math and continuing resolutions to Trump’s executive order protecting military pay, Todd lays out the context the media skips and contrasts big–government promises with limited–government reality. He also responds to AOC’s claims about the GOP “radicalizing” young men, and why that kind of performance politics falls flat with everyday Americans. Plus, quick hits on party messaging, what really drives shutdown blame, and why shrinking Washington’s scope still matters most for liberty and prosperity.

Voting Rights Act Section 2 takes center stage as the Supreme Court hears Louisiana v. Callais, a case that could reshape how majority-Black districts are drawn and how far race can be used in mapmaking. Todd walks through what Section 2 actually says, why lower courts demanded two majority-Black districts in Louisiana, and how equal protection concerns collide with vote-dilution claims. Then we zoom out to 2026: redistricting pushes in states like Texas and California, shifting prediction-market odds, and why a modest Democratic edge on the generic ballot may not be enough. Todd also reacts to CNN’s Harry Enten on the changing House outlook, explains why both parties suddenly care about “gerrymandering truces,” and frames what it all means for Trump’s agenda and the fight for the House.

Cartels putting bounties on ICE, CBP, and DHS. Antifa operating like a network, not a “random protest.” And Blue-city leaders pushing back harder on law enforcement than on criminals. Todd breaks down how these threads tie together into one theme: lawlessness versus order. We talk border failures, Chicago’s chaos, Glenn Beck’s intel on Antifa, and why constitutional conservatives share more in common with many left-of-center Americans than with the radical fringe driving today’s narrative. Plus: a quick happy birthday shout to Oz and a reminder to align your money with your values. Conservative. Not bitter. Buckle up.

Day 14 of the government shutdown, Todd walks through why a clean continuing resolution stalled in the Senate and why even media voices like Jake Tapper and Shannon Bream are pressing Democrats on the blame narrative. We hit the filibuster facts, Smithsonian/National Zoo closures, and Chuck Schumer’s “weaponization of government” claims—plus Todd’s reaction to President Trump awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk posthumously.

Hostages are finally coming home as Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire framework—but what’s really in the deal, who gets credit, and what comes next? Todd breaks down the reported numbers on released hostages and detainees, the unanswered enforcement questions, and why peace requires strength. We also look at Trump’s visit to Israel and remarks to the Knesset, media spin around his role, and the deeper historical and spiritual roots of the conflict. Plus, quick hits on Day 13 of the Schumer shutdown and the fight to protect National Guard pay. Stick around for sponsors focused on biblically responsible investing, a conservative business directory you can actually use, and a natural wellness partner cutting through the noise.

Todd flies solo with Oz out and digs into day ten of the government shutdown, breaking down how Senate filibuster math—not a simple majority—keeps a “clean CR” from a final vote. He walks through the latest cloture dynamics, why extending current spending short-term may be the only practical move, and where he parts ways with Rand Paul on tactics. Todd also reacts to news about New York AG Letitia James facing an indictment, emphasizing equal justice over political revenge. In the final segment, he highlights sharp declines in illegal immigration and a reported drop in the foreign-born population since January—contrasting it with years of media spin.Plus, a reminder to subscribe, grab the podcast, and catch The Daily Truth.

Day nine of the government shutdown and the stalemate is getting messier. Todd breaks down why Senate Democrats keep blocking a “clean CR,” what that really means, and why Trump’s talk of federal reductions-in-force is suddenly on the table. Then we turn to campus speech wars: a Change.org petition targets the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, accusing it of “hate speech”—Todd explains what’s actually at stake and shares a personal story about hearts changing after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Finally, California Rep. Katie Porter melts down in a local TV interview, bristling at basic follow-ups while running for governor.Conservative… not bitter, with clarity, context, and a few laughs along the way.(Sponsor) Full Suite Wealth → https://fullsuitewealth.com

Eric Trump joins Todd to talk about his new book Under Siege and what it’s really like inside the nonstop barrage against his family. Todd also addresses an allegation from yesterday’s interview and corrects the record on a misquote about Charlie Kirk, then lays out a rapid-fire list of the most persistent myths about Trump and conservatives—from “34 felonies” to “very fine people.” It’s a candid look at media narratives, character attacks, and why context matters. If you’ve wondered how the Trumps keep pushing forward—and what Eric thinks must happen next for America—this conversation delivers clarity, urgency, and plenty to chew on. Plus: how to get the book and where to catch the full interview and transcript.

Todd sits down with Shelby Campbell, a Democrat running in Michigan’s 13th District, for a frank, unexpected conversation about her viral clip referencing Charlie Kirk’s death, the apology that followed, and what “free speech” should look like in today’s climate. They explore common ground, from wanting civil debate to frustrations with media and political tribalism. Shelby shares how her upbringing shaped her views, why she thinks community matters more than party labels, and her priorities like healthcare and housing. Todd responds with a conservative case for rights, personal responsibility, and why language like “healthcare is a right” raises red flags. Agree or disagree, it’s a rare, civil back-and-forth worth hearing—and a preview of more interviews to come.

Day six of the government shutdown, and the White House warns of possible layoffs while Democrats refuse a clean CR. Todd digs into what this standoff is really about—spending priorities, Medicaid fraud and subsidies, border security, and a grab-bag of eyebrow-raising “restorations” cited by Sen. John Kennedy. He also opens the phones to listeners ahead of two big interviews: Michigan congressional candidate Shelby Campbell tomorrow and Eric Trump on Wednesday. Plus: why growing the show’s reach matters in the wake of escalating political violence and a renewed commitment to getting truth in front of new audiences.If you’ve got questions for Shelby or Eric, send them to todd@toddhuffshow.com or text 317-210-2830.Subscribe to The Daily Truth at toddhuffshow.com/truth.(Sponsor) Red White & Brand – https://redwhiteandbrand.com(Sponsor) Full Suite Wealth – https://fullsuitewealth.com(Sponsor) 48 Financial – https://48financial.com/todd(Sponsor) Soltea – https://soltea.com

Todd breaks down why the federal government is shut down and who’s really holding up a deal. He explains the GOP’s “clean CR” offer, Democrats’ push to restore emergency Medicaid reimbursements, and how the media frames the blame game. We also look at what a reduction in force could mean if the shutdown drags on, and why this moment could reshape the size and scope of government. Plus, an announcement: Eric Trump joins the show next Wednesday, and Todd invites your questions. Finally, quick hits on conservative campus momentum and why messaging matters as much as policy. Conservative, not bitter—tune in and share with a friend.

Today Todd tackles the surge of conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging listeners to pursue truth over clickbait. He honors Kirk’s impact on the conservative movement and youth outreach, then walks through the most-circulated claims—from “deep state” to foreign interference—highlighting why discernment, evidence, and context matter. Todd reflects on empathy for the grieving, cautions against dehumanizing opponents on social media, and explains how a biblical worldview shapes our response to evil, misinformation, and media distrust. He also shares how Kirk’s death is sharpening his own mission: inviting critics to real debate, taking the message beyond the conservative bubble, and modeling courage without bitterness. If you’re exhausted by viral theories and hungry for clarity, this episode is for you.

Government shutdown headlines are back—but how much does it really matter to everyday Americans? Todd breaks down the facts and the spin around a “clean continuing resolution,” why House Republicans say they extended funding and why Senate Democrats blocked it, and what actually continues during a shutdown. We dig into furloughs vs. proposed RIFs, the battle over spending, debt, inflation, border security, and how this standoff fits into the bigger political fight of our time. No hysteria—just a clear look at what’s true, what’s posturing, and what it means for your life and your liberty.
