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.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
for conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been talking about it to
prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you
to lean to the right. And now, coming to you
(00:29):
from the full suite Wealth Studios, here's your conservative but
not bitter host Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, I've got some feedback from people
who want to see redistricting stopped in Indiana. In fact,
we've got a some comments from a state senator and
giving his reasons for opposing it. I want to talk
about those again. I know this has been an Indiana
(00:58):
centric couple of weeks here, but this is a nation
wide issue. As you know, Texas has redistricted, California has redistricted,
was in the process of doing so after passing their referendum.
Missouri has. We've got North Carolina, North Carolina, We've got Virginia, Florida,
(01:23):
others that are looking Illinois, others that are looking at
doing the same thing. And so again, this is the
prerogative of state legislatures. You will not hear me going
to a capitol building and channing, cheater, cheater, that's what
they do, of course when I'm at the podium at
the state House or Governor Brown or whoever else was
(01:44):
speaking that day. But that is not how this uh
that that's we won't be We won't be inconsistent here,
will be very consistent because truth matters. Truth doesn't, truth
doesn't bend to our whims and desires. This is, as
I've said from the beginning, this is one hundred percent
the prerogative of our state legislature. There's nothing that prevents
(02:08):
them from doing this. But half of the people in
this state, half of the people in this country, just
won't hear any of that. While being totally cool with
what's happened in states like Illinois, of course California in
the past, saying that Republicans started that, that's just factually
(02:29):
not correct either. This is Republicans fighting back. You know,
this is not too different really from how Trump kind
of came to national prominence. Here. It's different, but there's
a similarity. The left has a way of dealing with
Republican presidents, Republican politicians, and normally that is, if you
(02:56):
do something that we don't like, we the left, we
come after you personally, we make your life a living
hell and try to intimidate you into changing your positions
and so forth. And that's usually what happens. But along
came this guy named Donald Trump. I know I've shared
this with you many times before, but along came this
(03:17):
guy named Donald Trump. And when they did that to him,
when they attacked him and came after him, he basically
doubled down, tripled down, quadrupled down. And the reason we're
to this fever pitch is because Trump won't back down,
and the Democrat party playbook, the media's playbook, simply says, hey,
(03:39):
every time they respond, we ratchet it up. Well, what
happens when both sides have that mentality, And that's where
we are today, at least with the Trump side of
the Republican Party. There's plenty of Republicans that are dying
for an opportunity to surrender, including those that voted against
(03:59):
this in the House, including my representative Peggy Mayfield in
the Indiana House, and those who are vowing to vote
against it as Republicans in the Senate as well. So
again I'm not saying you can't have your reasons and rationale,
but provide them. So I want to talk about this today.
(04:19):
I want to talk about the objection I heard. It
leads us into a conversation about federalism, which I love
to talk about. These things matter, you know. It turns
out the way this country was framed matters a lot,
the way that our government was set up, the way
our states were, you know, remained autonomous and able to
(04:39):
have control over what happens within their borders and so forth,
and at all this stuff, all this stuff that the
left has been crying that this is a war on democracy.
They've been telling people for years basically that we live
in a pure democracy and this is a civics lesson
for anybody who really wants to learn and pay attention
in real time. And that's why I mean on the
(05:02):
one hand that there's the stakes are high, so this
is not simply for entertainment for me. This has we
have to win this. But in another sense, it's good
to have something in the national spotlight or the narrative
here that requires people to have to well at least
gives them the opportunity. I don't know that it requires
them to requires or give them the opportunity to have,
(05:26):
you know, to be able to learn, to be able
to learn what we really have in this country. And
I think that's a good thing. So coming to you

people on the don't redistrict side to tell me why
and I've gotten a I don't normally get responses. Now
you'll get responses from the unhinged radical leftist or the
(06:53):
people who have just bought the narrative of the day
coming out of the Democrat Party of the media hook
Line Synker. These folks who believe exactly what they're being
told by the talking heads, by the mainstream media, by
the professional deceivers in our midst and they run with it.
But we've addressed these objections. Everybody in the state of
(07:16):
Indiana or wherever they live has a representative. Just because
you don't get your preferred representative doesn't mean that that
you seek to have representation. The identity politics of the day,
the folks who simply believe in engaging in superficialities and
that everything is about race and ethnicity. Those folks will
(07:40):
say that people are trying to silence certain voices, or
that they're being racist and so forth. Race is not
what this is about. This is about political ideas. This
is about I've gone through what this is about. I've
been talking about this for a couple of weeks. Now.
This is about Indiana making sure that her voice is
not looted in Washington, d C. This is about Indiana
(08:04):
sending people to Congress who stand up for our sovereignty,
who do not truly bow to Washington, d C. To
a federal government that's gotten too big and too bloated.
This is about sending representatives to Washington, d C. That
are not going to participate in law fair trying to
take down the president of the United States using what
(08:26):
I call the Seinfeld Newman strategy, which is whatever it takes,
as long as it takes them, so long as it
takes Donald Trump away from the White House, or at
least stops his agenda from getting out and being implemented
here in this great nation. This is about sending politicians
to Washington, d C. Who do not burden hoosiers with
(08:47):
things that come from inflation. Now you've seen, in fact,
they've got it in my stack of stuff. Caroline Lovett
was talking with I think Fox and Friends or it
was someone on Fox News yesterday where she's going after
the Democrat who are talking about this affordability crisis we're
in as though they're part of the solution. My friends,
they caused this inflation. Hear me say this. Don't even
(09:11):
take my word for it. Go and google Milton Friedman.
Milton Friedman, go google Milton Friedman and listen to what
the great economists Milton Friedman had to say about inflation.
There is one cause, my friends, for inflation. Inflation is
caused by the federal government. It's not caused by the
(09:32):
state government. It's not caused by corporations. It's not caused
by greedy, evil corporations, or it's not caused by trade unions.
It's not caused by any person in this country, even
if they're people who are radical and deranged. It is
caused by our federal government. It is a specific phenomenon
(09:53):
where they create more money than the actual value of
goods and services that's being produced in our economy. They
produce an excess amount of money. That means they've diluted
the value of the currency that's out there. That means
the dollars you make today are worthless. That means the
money that's in your retirement is worthless. That's what happens.
(10:17):
Inflation hits everything across the board. Inflation doesn't target one
particular industry, say the price of gas or groceries or
electronics or whatever. There are other things that can cause
in prices to increase in a variety of wherever. I mean,
(10:37):
for example, if there's an oil embargo, or if OPEC
decides to reduce production of oil dramatically, that will increase
impact the price of gas at the gas pumps. But
it's lazy to call any raise, any increase in cost inflation.
I understand in words mean things, and we've gotten lazy,
(11:02):
and inflation has come to me anytime something goes up
in cost, And I understand in a practical sense that
yeah that you don't care. You know, if something goes
up in cost, the prices go up, then that impacts
your wallet. And on one hand you could say it
doesn't matter to me, why, but I would say, on
(11:23):
another hand, it absolutely should, because if it is due
to policy, you can't get mad at the businesses, you
can't get mad at the unions or anybody else. You
got to be mad and angry at our federal government.
And it's people like the Democrats that are sent to Washington,
d c. Who lead us to incredibly high amounts of inflation.
(11:45):
You know that in Biden's term, inflation hit a fifty
I think it was a fifty year high inflation like
we had not seen in half a century. That's because
it's all rooted in their desire to spend moneyney spend money,
more money than we have, massively more money than we have,
and the more additional money the government's spending, and that's
(12:09):
not being created in the private sector, and it's not
being directly taxed from individuals. It's going to be paid
for in the form of inflation. That is the only
You either borrow it, you tax it, or you create
the you get it through inflation. That's the way that
it works. That those are the only options that exist
(12:31):
to pay for the things, this laundry list of ridiculous
things the radical left wants to pay for anytime, Indiana,
Sins or wherever, whatever state you're from. But I'm speaking
specifically to mind, because this is where the battle is
being waged right now. Wherever this battle or wherever we
send I should say, a representative to Washington, d C. Who,
(12:54):
when they're being going through the process of the campaign,
a democrat here will try to position or herself as
a moderate. Very rarely can you win as an open
leftist in a place like Indiana. You might be able
to in New York City, but a lot of people
in this area are still not prepared to endorse socialism
(13:18):
and communism and Karl Marx and all of that. So
they pretend to be something that they're not in order
to get elected. And then they go to Washington, d C.
And they vote for radicals to lead their party, to
form their agenda, and they typically vote in lockstep with
the leadership. You combine that, as I've said before, with
(13:39):
the illegal immigration problem, which this country had again under Biden.
Under the radical left, this was not an example of
just something getting out of control. This was what they wanted.
They wanted to overwhelm the system. They wanted to use
illegal immigration to impact the well the way that congressional
(14:02):
seats were allocated because they used illegal immigrants in the
count I went through all of this. So when we
send a representative who's a Democrat to Washington, d C.
They don't reflect who's your values. They don't even oftentimes
reflect who's your Democrat values. And so I've given you,
I've given you the reasons why I'm against this repeatedly,
(14:23):
I've added to them. I'm firmly established in this camp
of wanting Indiana to vote for these this new map,
and I think you should too, and I think you've
got one day. Basically this could be voted on tomorrow
in the Indiana State House. You've got one last day
to reach out to Congress or to senators specifically. It's
(14:45):
already passed the House of Representative, the House here in Indiana.
But to reach out to senators and let them know kindly, politely,
none of the I don't need to tell you this,
but no threatening or anything like that. Just let them
know that you're in favor this. You can call, you
can you can email whatever, but they need to know
(15:06):
what is at stake here. And I will say this.
I wouldn't say this on the call, but if there
are there are organizations and individuals who are poised to
come in and to primary these individuals who are Republicans
that do not vote for this, I mean, this is
an important thing they need. They need to know that
(15:28):
we find this to be very important. And listen, you
might have to even tell them. You know what, I
can stomach a lot of my disagreements with you and
I could support you moving forward in the next election
if you support this. This is this is that important.
I can overlook some of our other differences here I
can support you if you just if you support this.
(15:50):
If you don't, then you have crossed into an area
where I think your decisions are contributing to the problems
that we have in this nation. And so there you know,
that's my opposition or my I guess my support. The
reason I support these maps, and I've addressed some of
the I guess some of the things people have said
(16:14):
as to why that they opposed this. But I do
want to talk about one of the new reasons I
heard yesterday from a senator speaking in the Indiana State House.
I don't have the club. I saw it. I made
a middle note of it. As I was going through
my show prep. I thought, I think I want to
talk about this, and that's what I want to talk about.
So the reason that this particular state senator is apparently
(16:36):
opposed to Indiana passing these new maps is because the
idea came from outside of the state of Indiana, and
so apparently, if the idea comes from the outside of
the state, we have to reject it. If that's the
way it works, then I would say, then I would say,
(16:57):
I hope all the radical leftists in this country send
us all of their ideas so that I can present
them to this senator and say, here are all the
bad ideas that Indiana should never accept. And I guess
you should be against these because these emails came from
places like Illinois, the People's Republic of California, and Washington,
(17:18):
d C. See, for me, the idea is about the merit. Now,
let me say this. I believe in federalism. Federalism is
this concept that says the power that there is power
that remains with the state. In fact, if you look
at the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, it basically
(17:39):
says that anything not specified in the Constitution, anything that's
not delegated, a power that's given with the consent of
the government to the federal government through the Constitution, is
reserved to the people and to the states. And so
the way it's supposed to work is Congress, the federal government,
(18:00):
the executive branch, they're only supposed to be doing things
that are explicitly stated or powers that are explicitly given
to them in the US Constitution. And then anything else
is supposed to be reserved to the people and to
the states. And so what's supposed to happen is that
you have fifty what we used to call in school
(18:22):
and elsewhere in some conversations. But this isn't common vernacular,
but you might have heard it, the laboratories of the states.
And so what this does is it says, hey, instead
of having a federal government that's forcing its will down
the throats of the American people, they're controlling, you know,
everything that happens in this country, top down approach to
the economy, top down approach to education, healthcare, and then
(18:46):
states are supposed to do exactly what the federal government
tells them. That is not the way that this country
was set up. In fact, what's supposed to happen is
the federal government is only supposed to do those things
that are well granted it in the through the Constitution,
and then the states are doing everything else. And what
you have is you have independent laboratories. You can look
(19:11):
and states can say, hmm, man, what worked in Iowa,
let's take a portion of that, or let's take all
of that and let's apply that in Indiana, or what
happened in Oklahoma. Wow, that was a good thing. Let's
implement that in our state. This is how you this
is how you can test and measure results and how
(19:31):
you can improve. You can see what works. And of
course the idea would be if it is successful in
other states, then states would look at that and say, wow,
how can we implement that in our state? That's the
way that it's supposed to work. But so obviously, in
that example, there may be things that other states are doing.
(19:54):
There may be things that people outside of our state
recommend that we can then decide for ourselves. So it's
preposterous to say that you're against this because of federalism,
because federalism is the laboratory of the states, and we
should precisely be listening to or learning from what's happening
elsewhere so that we can institute best practices in our states.
(20:19):
So just because the idea came from somebody in Trump's
administer well from Trump himself or from Trump's administration or whoever,
that's not the merit upon which we should be judging this.
We should be judging it based upon the actual merits,
the actual reasons which I gave to you my reasons
(20:39):
in this program today and throughout the course of the
last two weeks. This is not serious opposition to this
particular issue. I will tell you as well. I had
a stupid response on Facebook, and this is how you
know your the other side has has nothing to say
(21:03):
a value. I'm gonna read you this. It's loading. This
was posted by a guy named I'm just gonna it's Timothy.
I'm not gonna give you this full name, even though
it is on social media. So again his reason, I
(21:23):
guess for supporting this. This is a response he had
to one of my comments. Some people, he says, love
pedophile Pontiff and all his hatreds, especially the bigotry and racism.
Indianapolis doesn't. So I guess if you support Trump, you
(21:44):
support according to these lunatics here, you're a bigot, you're
a racist, you support hate, and I guess support pedophiles.
That's the argument here. That's the argument. That's the argument
against redistricting. I guess who has the hatred. By the way,
(22:04):
this is. You don't have to agree with me, Timothy,
but I do think you should be an adult and
this clearly does not meet that standard. So all right,
need to square up here. To wrap up the first segment,
take a quick timeout, friends, Let me remind you that

first purchase Redwhite and Brand dot Com Promo code Todd.
Quick time out for me, my friends back in just
a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Talking here about, of course, redistricting.
Talking also about federalism, which I know may sound like
(23:14):
an incredibly boring term, but it's important because that's apparently,
as I stated at last segment, that's apparently one of
the reasons that people pose at least one state representative
opposes redistricting here in Indiana, and that, of course makes
no sense. As I shared earlier, did you see I
(23:35):
forget who it was, but there was a state senator.
I believe that he was a senator. He could have
been a representative, but I'm pretty sure it was a
state senator who said that he was against redistricting. And
I'm gonna listen, I'm going to use a word here
that I don't want to say, but I'm just using
(23:57):
it in a quote so that you know what i'm
talking about. That you may have seen Donald Trump call
Tim Walls. Again, this is Trump's words and not mine.
I'm just telling you what he called him. I'm going
to use a word that some will find offensive. I don't.
I'm just simply telling what it is. So you know
the reason that this representative is against redistricting. So if
(24:21):
you don't want someone to hear it, tune it off.
In three to one, the term is retarded. So Trump
called Tim Walls retarded. This made one representative here in Indiana.
I think I think he was is a senator. I
could be wrong, and he said, look, I have someone
(24:45):
in his family has down syndrome. It's for that reason
I'm against redistricting. Now listen, I understand if you don't
like what Trump said. I'm not a big fan of
that myself. I whatever that the issue here. The issue here, though,
is that you should consider the merits of the argument.
(25:08):
Based upon the merits of the argument, So I mean,
where does this, Where would this end right? Where where
would we end this? Or where where would this line
of reasoning take us if we took it to the
nth degree, I mean it would it would lead us
to utter madness, to where no one would be endorsing,
(25:30):
supporting opposing ideas based upon the merit of the ideas.
It would just be all about who's who's in favor
of it, and you would never talk about the reasons why,
which is what I'm interested in. I'm actually I remember
when I was talking with this about this with a
group of friends last week, and I said, listen, I'm
(25:50):
more inclined to do almost the opposite of that. I'm
inclined even when someone that I think is wrong odd
virtually everything, when they come up with the good idea,
If I think it's a good idea, I'm gonna I'm
gonna work with them to see that get accomplished, that
idea be implemented, that piece of legislation be passed, or whatever.
(26:13):
I wouldn't say because it's a good idea, but I
don't like something that you said last week or month,
or you know, in another conversation that has nothing to
do with this, I'm against the ideas. That's lunacy, my friends,
that's craziness. Again, these are the reasons that we are given.
In fact, I've got another reason here from Veronica on Facebook.
(26:37):
This is they talking about the representatives in Indiana, the
Senate in particular, now have a chance to do the
right thing, which again, what is the right thing, Veronica,
do what you want to do politically. But anyway, she says,
and stand as a bulwark against a corrupt and violent
political administration in Washington. So her point is the right
(26:58):
thing to do is to stand against street districting because
Trump's administration is corrupt and violent. I suppose she means
ice in the streets is what's violent. I don't know
what else she would be referring to. I know she's
(27:19):
not referring to ben Ghazi when Obama was in office
and when Hillary left those folks to basically finn for
themselves because it might impact her campaign. I know she's
not talking about the violence of Biden when he abandoned
people in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands, I think the number
(27:40):
was fifteen thousand, and many people died in Afghanistan. In fact,
we've had the individual who shot the National Guard in Washington.
D C was one of the individuals who came from
Afghanistan and all that mayhem and just chaos that was there.
(28:01):
So what violence are they talking about? ICE? I mean, listen,
if you follow the instructions of ICE, if you don't
interfere with what they're trying to do, there is no violence.
In fact, most of the violence. I'm not here. I
can't defend uniformly every ICE agent out there, but it
seems to me that the violence comes when they are
(28:24):
trying to prevent ICE from doing its job, which is,
by the way, in accordance with the law. Why is
it not violence to allow criminal illegal aliens to stay
in our country? Why is it not violence to allow
gang members to stay in our country? People who harm
(28:45):
and even kill American citizens? Why is that not violence? Veronica,
I don't know what you're talking about, the violent political
administration in Washington, but she says it's not easy. Granted
that they did, but they did sign up to represent
the peace people of Indiana, not Trump and Putin. I mean,
this is literally the arguments against this, not Trump and Putin.
(29:08):
You realize that that whole Russian collusion, delusion has been
disproven one hundred percent. It is insane to ever to
have ever believed that stupid narrative, as I've said on
this program many times, to think that the last step
in a conspiracy is an advertising campaign that tricks Hillary
(29:30):
voters into voting for Trump. That's what it was. That
was the whole argument. And she's she. Here we are
ten years later, and Veronica still thinks that we shouldn't
redistrict because we need Democrats to go and oppose Trump
because he's tied to Putin. I mean, this is bonkers,
my friends, This is wild stuff. This is the best.
(29:50):
And by the way, if you're a person who opposes
opposes redistricting, right now, these are the people speaking for you.
I I have gone everywhere I know, I have gone
on social media. I have said it on this program.
I mentioned it when I spoke at the Capitol building.
I invited those people. Haven't heard from a single one
(30:13):
of them. By the way. I invited those people. I
invite you. I said, to come onto my program and
let's talk about this. Let's reason together, let's talk about
your objections and your rationale here. But I hear nothing.
I see people who will like comments that say Indiana
(30:35):
doesn't want this, and I say, why, just tell me
why I don't. I've gotten it from zero people, zero people,
And so right now, since you won't tell me, I'm
there may be good reasons. I've gone through them. I
just shared the one about this is a violation I
guess the federalism of states rights, which is preposterous. We're
(30:55):
voting on it now. If it was a violation of
states rights, Trump just would have instant tutored it and
the state legislature wouldn't have voted on it. But that's
not the way it works. We still have the rule
of law in this country Indiana to not have to
take it up. But for the reasons I've outlined, those
are the reasons, some of the reasons, a lot of
the reasons why Indiana is doing this and why I
(31:17):
support it. Veronica is over here talking about Putin. Putin
has zero to do with this is preposterous, she continues. Here,
It's no secret that Trump's administration is part of a
crime syndicate the world is she talking about. But even
worse is that he is working for Putin. I am
not making this. This is literally what it says. This
(31:38):
was in response to something at the Indianapolis Star. I'm
reading it verbatim. But even worse is that he is
working for Putin. Indiana needs to stand firm and not
let Red Dawn happen, My good Red Dawn. I'm a
child of the eighties. I watched Red Dawn. Do you
know what that is? Red Dawn, for those of you
(32:00):
who may not know, is a movie where Russia, the
Soviet Union, the Communist USSR invaded with paratroopers and everything
else the United States of America. I remember as a
kid we actually played guns. We played guns, toy guns
out in the woods, made our gun noises and everything else,
(32:20):
and we would play things like Red Dawn and Tour
of Duty. So this is their argument Putin and Red Dawn.

at the State House chanting and all that sort of stuff.

my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back to
my friends. I want to talk a little bit about
some of the things happening in other states that are
moving towards redistricting or who have already taken steps or
(34:15):
even done the process of redistricting, and we'll get into
that here in this the final segment of today's program.

investments align with your values. Four eight financial because your
values matter and so does your money, my friends. So
(35:22):
let's really quickly here look at some other states of
impact here for this redistricting issue. Texas, you know, has
already passed. I'm looking here at an article at the
Hill dot Com from probably a week ago. But of
course Texas passed a new map back earlier this year.
(35:48):
California passed Proposition fifty, which was a well, a proposition,
a referendum that gave the legislation nature the ability to
draw these maps. Now, a lot of people see that
or hear that, and they think Indiana didn't do that,
(36:09):
Texas didn't do that. That's because every again, the rules
that states have are set by the states, and so
California had a certain process that they followed for drawing maps.
They wanted to change that, and so they had to
do this. This is how they had to do it.
(36:29):
We don't have to do it here in Indiana. I'm
not going to repeat what's happening in Indiana. You know,
you know, it's past the House, it's gone through the
beginning phases, the first reading. There should be some stuff
that happens today. This could be voted on in its
final form. The final vote could literally be tomorrow, Thursday,
(36:51):
or Friday, So in the next couple of days this week,
it is likely that this issue is going to be
resolved here in the state of Indiana. So this is
your last chance. I know you might think, Hey, I've
not called yet. It's something I have on my to
do list. This takes a couple of minutes. This is
(37:14):
the moments where you can make your voice heard and
you can be counted as someone who can call in
and tell your senator what it is that you expect
them to do with these maps, and if you share
my thinking, you want them to pass these maps. Virginia
Democrats again, according to the Hill dot com, I've seen
(37:36):
this elsewhere reported as well, but Virginia Democrats have begun
the process of moving forward with their redrawn map. They
passed a mid decade redistricting bill in October that allowed
lawmakers to initiate the process. It's funny because I hear
I have heard about people who talk about this and
(37:58):
they say this is all in respet to Indiana. Well,
they passed it back in October. That's what. How's that
In response to Indiana Indiana didn't call this session until
about a month or so ago, so it doesn't seem
like that's consistent to me. But regardless, it's their prerogative.
(38:20):
I'm going to be remarkably consistent on this. Lawmakers now
need to pass it one more time, the Hill reads
here in the state legislature, which they're expected to do fairly,
which they're expected to do easily, So probably won't see
conservatives descend on the state House and chant in Richmond,
(38:41):
ridiculous nonsense that I had to endure here at our
state House. But I'm happy to do it, my friends.
It was entertaining to me that will tee up. This
article says a vote a constitutional amendment before voters for
a special election, which they're aiming to do in the
spring and summer. This new map is created, excuse me,
(39:03):
expected to create at least two additional Democrat leaning districts
Missouri we already know past the House map earlier. A
new map earlier this year should yield potentially one more
GOP seat in the state of Missouri. North Carolina Republicans
(39:24):
there advanced a new congressional map in October, which they
should be able to turn potentially again, none of this
stuff is guaranteed. That's the other thing. The more districts
you try to squeeze out of your state, the more
statistically competitive they're all going to become because you're spreading
your party's votes out over more districts. So so in
(39:48):
the are excuse me, North Carolina might be able to
get another seat there. In Utah, a judge handed a
win to Democrats by choosing a how map for twenty
twenty six that gives the party one pickup opportunity, one
seat in the House they could pick up. That's the
(40:10):
what's it doesn't tell me what seat that is. Florida.
A Florida House redistricting panel is set to convene well,
I think they convened last week for its first meeting,
as Republicans looked to move forward with new maps there.
Governor Ron de Santa said in an interview with The
(40:32):
Floridian that he's planning to call a special session, likely
between March and May. This is going to happen, my friends,
potentially in lots of places, Ohio, Maryland, New York. I've
got others as well, but I'm out of time. My friends,
thank you so much for listening, Have a great day,
SDG
Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff Show, America's home
for conservative not bitter talk and education. Be advised. The
content of this program has been talking about it to
prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you
to lean to the right. And now, coming to you
(00:29):
from the full suite Wealth Studios, here's your conservative but
not bitter host Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, I've got some feedback from people
who want to see redistricting stopped in Indiana. In fact,
we've got a some comments from a state senator and
giving his reasons for opposing it. I want to talk
about those again. I know this has been an Indiana
(00:58):
centric couple of weeks here, but this is a nation
wide issue. As you know, Texas has redistricted, California has redistricted,
was in the process of doing so after passing their referendum.
Missouri has. We've got North Carolina, North Carolina, We've got Virginia, Florida,
(01:23):
others that are looking Illinois, others that are looking at
doing the same thing. And so again, this is the
prerogative of state legislatures. You will not hear me going
to a capitol building and channing, cheater, cheater, that's what
they do, of course when I'm at the podium at
the state House or Governor Brown or whoever else was
(01:44):
speaking that day. But that is not how this uh
that that's we won't be We won't be inconsistent here,
will be very consistent because truth matters. Truth doesn't, truth
doesn't bend to our whims and desires. This is, as
I've said from the beginning, this is one hundred percent
the prerogative of our state legislature. There's nothing that prevents
(02:08):
them from doing this. But half of the people in
this state, half of the people in this country, just
won't hear any of that. While being totally cool with
what's happened in states like Illinois, of course California in
the past, saying that Republicans started that, that's just factually
(02:29):
not correct either. This is Republicans fighting back. You know,
this is not too different really from how Trump kind
of came to national prominence. Here. It's different, but there's
a similarity. The left has a way of dealing with
Republican presidents, Republican politicians, and normally that is, if you
(02:56):
do something that we don't like, we the left, we
come after you personally, we make your life a living
hell and try to intimidate you into changing your positions
and so forth. And that's usually what happens. But along
came this guy named Donald Trump. I know I've shared
this with you many times before, but along came this
(03:17):
guy named Donald Trump. And when they did that to him,
when they attacked him and came after him, he basically
doubled down, tripled down, quadrupled down. And the reason we're
to this fever pitch is because Trump won't back down,
and the Democrat party playbook, the media's playbook, simply says, hey,
(03:39):
every time they respond, we ratchet it up. Well, what
happens when both sides have that mentality, And that's where
we are today, at least with the Trump side of
the Republican Party. There's plenty of Republicans that are dying
for an opportunity to surrender, including those that voted against
(03:59):
this in the House, including my representative Peggy Mayfield in
the Indiana House, and those who are vowing to vote
against it as Republicans in the Senate as well. So
again I'm not saying you can't have your reasons and rationale,
but provide them. So I want to talk about this today.
(04:19):
I want to talk about the objection I heard. It
leads us into a conversation about federalism, which I love
to talk about. These things matter, you know. It turns
out the way this country was framed matters a lot,
the way that our government was set up, the way
our states were, you know, remained autonomous and able to
(04:39):
have control over what happens within their borders and so forth,
and at all this stuff, all this stuff that the
left has been crying that this is a war on democracy.
They've been telling people for years basically that we live
in a pure democracy and this is a civics lesson
for anybody who really wants to learn and pay attention
in real time. And that's why I mean on the
(05:02):
one hand that there's the stakes are high, so this
is not simply for entertainment for me. This has we
have to win this. But in another sense, it's good
to have something in the national spotlight or the narrative
here that requires people to have to well at least
gives them the opportunity. I don't know that it requires
them to requires or give them the opportunity to have,
(05:26):
you know, to be able to learn, to be able
to learn what we really have in this country. And
I think that's a good thing. So coming to you

people on the don't redistrict side to tell me why
and I've gotten a I don't normally get responses. Now
you'll get responses from the unhinged radical leftist or the
(06:53):
people who have just bought the narrative of the day
coming out of the Democrat Party of the media hook
Line Synker. These folks who believe exactly what they're being
told by the talking heads, by the mainstream media, by
the professional deceivers in our midst and they run with it.
But we've addressed these objections. Everybody in the state of
(07:16):
Indiana or wherever they live has a representative. Just because
you don't get your preferred representative doesn't mean that that
you seek to have representation. The identity politics of the day,
the folks who simply believe in engaging in superficialities and
that everything is about race and ethnicity. Those folks will
(07:40):
say that people are trying to silence certain voices, or
that they're being racist and so forth. Race is not
what this is about. This is about political ideas. This
is about I've gone through what this is about. I've
been talking about this for a couple of weeks. Now.
This is about Indiana making sure that her voice is
not looted in Washington, d C. This is about Indiana
(08:04):
sending people to Congress who stand up for our sovereignty,
who do not truly bow to Washington, d C. To
a federal government that's gotten too big and too bloated.
This is about sending representatives to Washington, d C. That
are not going to participate in law fair trying to
take down the president of the United States using what
(08:26):
I call the Seinfeld Newman strategy, which is whatever it takes,
as long as it takes them, so long as it
takes Donald Trump away from the White House, or at
least stops his agenda from getting out and being implemented
here in this great nation. This is about sending politicians
to Washington, d C. Who do not burden hoosiers with
(08:47):
things that come from inflation. Now you've seen, in fact,
they've got it in my stack of stuff. Caroline Lovett
was talking with I think Fox and Friends or it
was someone on Fox News yesterday where she's going after
the Democrat who are talking about this affordability crisis we're
in as though they're part of the solution. My friends,
they caused this inflation. Hear me say this. Don't even
(09:11):
take my word for it. Go and google Milton Friedman.
Milton Friedman, go google Milton Friedman and listen to what
the great economists Milton Friedman had to say about inflation.
There is one cause, my friends, for inflation. Inflation is
caused by the federal government. It's not caused by the
(09:32):
state government. It's not caused by corporations. It's not caused
by greedy, evil corporations, or it's not caused by trade unions.
It's not caused by any person in this country, even
if they're people who are radical and deranged. It is
caused by our federal government. It is a specific phenomenon
(09:53):
where they create more money than the actual value of
goods and services that's being produced in our economy. They
produce an excess amount of money. That means they've diluted
the value of the currency that's out there. That means
the dollars you make today are worthless. That means the
money that's in your retirement is worthless. That's what happens.
(10:17):
Inflation hits everything across the board. Inflation doesn't target one
particular industry, say the price of gas or groceries or
electronics or whatever. There are other things that can cause
in prices to increase in a variety of wherever. I mean,
(10:37):
for example, if there's an oil embargo, or if OPEC
decides to reduce production of oil dramatically, that will increase
impact the price of gas at the gas pumps. But
it's lazy to call any raise, any increase in cost inflation.
I understand in words mean things, and we've gotten lazy,
(11:02):
and inflation has come to me anytime something goes up
in cost, And I understand in a practical sense that
yeah that you don't care. You know, if something goes
up in cost, the prices go up, then that impacts
your wallet. And on one hand you could say it
doesn't matter to me, why, but I would say, on
(11:23):
another hand, it absolutely should, because if it is due
to policy, you can't get mad at the businesses, you
can't get mad at the unions or anybody else. You
got to be mad and angry at our federal government.
And it's people like the Democrats that are sent to Washington,
d c. Who lead us to incredibly high amounts of inflation.
(11:45):
You know that in Biden's term, inflation hit a fifty
I think it was a fifty year high inflation like
we had not seen in half a century. That's because
it's all rooted in their desire to spend moneyney spend money,
more money than we have, massively more money than we have,
and the more additional money the government's spending, and that's
(12:09):
not being created in the private sector, and it's not
being directly taxed from individuals. It's going to be paid
for in the form of inflation. That is the only
You either borrow it, you tax it, or you create
the you get it through inflation. That's the way that
it works. That those are the only options that exist
(12:31):
to pay for the things, this laundry list of ridiculous
things the radical left wants to pay for anytime, Indiana,
Sins or wherever, whatever state you're from. But I'm speaking
specifically to mind, because this is where the battle is
being waged right now. Wherever this battle or wherever we
send I should say, a representative to Washington, d C. Who,
(12:54):
when they're being going through the process of the campaign,
a democrat here will try to position or herself as
a moderate. Very rarely can you win as an open
leftist in a place like Indiana. You might be able
to in New York City, but a lot of people
in this area are still not prepared to endorse socialism
(13:18):
and communism and Karl Marx and all of that. So
they pretend to be something that they're not in order
to get elected. And then they go to Washington, d C.
And they vote for radicals to lead their party, to
form their agenda, and they typically vote in lockstep with
the leadership. You combine that, as I've said before, with
(13:39):
the illegal immigration problem, which this country had again under Biden.
Under the radical left, this was not an example of
just something getting out of control. This was what they wanted.
They wanted to overwhelm the system. They wanted to use
illegal immigration to impact the well the way that congressional
(14:02):
seats were allocated because they used illegal immigrants in the
count I went through all of this. So when we
send a representative who's a Democrat to Washington, d C.
They don't reflect who's your values. They don't even oftentimes
reflect who's your Democrat values. And so I've given you,
I've given you the reasons why I'm against this repeatedly,
(14:23):
I've added to them. I'm firmly established in this camp
of wanting Indiana to vote for these this new map,
and I think you should too, and I think you've
got one day. Basically this could be voted on tomorrow
in the Indiana State House. You've got one last day
to reach out to Congress or to senators specifically. It's
(14:45):
already passed the House of Representative, the House here in Indiana.
But to reach out to senators and let them know kindly, politely,
none of the I don't need to tell you this,
but no threatening or anything like that. Just let them
know that you're in favor this. You can call, you
can you can email whatever, but they need to know
(15:06):
what is at stake here. And I will say this.
I wouldn't say this on the call, but if there
are there are organizations and individuals who are poised to
come in and to primary these individuals who are Republicans
that do not vote for this, I mean, this is
an important thing they need. They need to know that
(15:28):
we find this to be very important. And listen, you
might have to even tell them. You know what, I
can stomach a lot of my disagreements with you and
I could support you moving forward in the next election
if you support this. This is this is that important.
I can overlook some of our other differences here I
can support you if you just if you support this.
(15:50):
If you don't, then you have crossed into an area
where I think your decisions are contributing to the problems
that we have in this nation. And so there you know,
that's my opposition or my I guess my support. The
reason I support these maps, and I've addressed some of
the I guess some of the things people have said
(16:14):
as to why that they opposed this. But I do
want to talk about one of the new reasons I
heard yesterday from a senator speaking in the Indiana State House.
I don't have the club. I saw it. I made
a middle note of it. As I was going through
my show prep. I thought, I think I want to
talk about this, and that's what I want to talk about.
So the reason that this particular state senator is apparently
(16:36):
opposed to Indiana passing these new maps is because the
idea came from outside of the state of Indiana, and
so apparently, if the idea comes from the outside of
the state, we have to reject it. If that's the
way it works, then I would say, then I would say,
(16:57):
I hope all the radical leftists in this country send
us all of their ideas so that I can present
them to this senator and say, here are all the
bad ideas that Indiana should never accept. And I guess
you should be against these because these emails came from
places like Illinois, the People's Republic of California, and Washington,
(17:18):
d C. See, for me, the idea is about the merit. Now,
let me say this. I believe in federalism. Federalism is
this concept that says the power that there is power
that remains with the state. In fact, if you look
at the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, it basically
(17:39):
says that anything not specified in the Constitution, anything that's
not delegated, a power that's given with the consent of
the government to the federal government through the Constitution, is
reserved to the people and to the states. And so
the way it's supposed to work is Congress, the federal government,
(18:00):
the executive branch, they're only supposed to be doing things
that are explicitly stated or powers that are explicitly given
to them in the US Constitution. And then anything else
is supposed to be reserved to the people and to
the states. And so what's supposed to happen is that
you have fifty what we used to call in school
(18:22):
and elsewhere in some conversations. But this isn't common vernacular,
but you might have heard it, the laboratories of the states.
And so what this does is it says, hey, instead
of having a federal government that's forcing its will down
the throats of the American people, they're controlling, you know,
everything that happens in this country, top down approach to
the economy, top down approach to education, healthcare, and then
(18:46):
states are supposed to do exactly what the federal government
tells them. That is not the way that this country
was set up. In fact, what's supposed to happen is
the federal government is only supposed to do those things
that are well granted it in the through the Constitution,
and then the states are doing everything else. And what
you have is you have independent laboratories. You can look
(19:11):
and states can say, hmm, man, what worked in Iowa,
let's take a portion of that, or let's take all
of that and let's apply that in Indiana, or what
happened in Oklahoma. Wow, that was a good thing. Let's
implement that in our state. This is how you this
is how you can test and measure results and how
(19:31):
you can improve. You can see what works. And of
course the idea would be if it is successful in
other states, then states would look at that and say, wow,
how can we implement that in our state? That's the
way that it's supposed to work. But so obviously, in
that example, there may be things that other states are doing.
(19:54):
There may be things that people outside of our state
recommend that we can then decide for ourselves. So it's
preposterous to say that you're against this because of federalism,
because federalism is the laboratory of the states, and we
should precisely be listening to or learning from what's happening
elsewhere so that we can institute best practices in our states.
(20:19):
So just because the idea came from somebody in Trump's
administer well from Trump himself or from Trump's administration or whoever,
that's not the merit upon which we should be judging this.
We should be judging it based upon the actual merits,
the actual reasons which I gave to you my reasons
(20:39):
in this program today and throughout the course of the
last two weeks. This is not serious opposition to this
particular issue. I will tell you as well. I had
a stupid response on Facebook, and this is how you
know your the other side has has nothing to say
(21:03):
a value. I'm gonna read you this. It's loading. This
was posted by a guy named I'm just gonna it's Timothy.
I'm not gonna give you this full name, even though
it is on social media. So again his reason, I
(21:23):
guess for supporting this. This is a response he had
to one of my comments. Some people, he says, love
pedophile Pontiff and all his hatreds, especially the bigotry and racism.
Indianapolis doesn't. So I guess if you support Trump, you
(21:44):
support according to these lunatics here, you're a bigot, you're
a racist, you support hate, and I guess support pedophiles.
That's the argument here. That's the argument. That's the argument
against redistricting. I guess who has the hatred. By the way,
(22:04):
this is. You don't have to agree with me, Timothy,
but I do think you should be an adult and
this clearly does not meet that standard. So all right,
need to square up here. To wrap up the first segment,
take a quick timeout, friends, Let me remind you that

Quick time out for me, my friends back in just
a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Talking here about, of course, redistricting.
Talking also about federalism, which I know may sound like
(23:14):
an incredibly boring term, but it's important because that's apparently,
as I stated at last segment, that's apparently one of
the reasons that people pose at least one state representative
opposes redistricting here in Indiana, and that, of course makes
no sense. As I shared earlier, did you see I
(23:35):
forget who it was, but there was a state senator.
I believe that he was a senator. He could have
been a representative, but I'm pretty sure it was a
state senator who said that he was against redistricting. And
I'm gonna listen, I'm going to use a word here
that I don't want to say, but I'm just using
(23:57):
it in a quote so that you know what i'm
talking about. That you may have seen Donald Trump call
Tim Walls. Again, this is Trump's words and not mine.
I'm just telling you what he called him. I'm going
to use a word that some will find offensive. I don't.
I'm just simply telling what it is. So you know
the reason that this representative is against redistricting. So if
(24:21):
you don't want someone to hear it, tune it off.
In three to one, the term is retarded. So Trump
called Tim Walls retarded. This made one representative here in Indiana.
I think I think he was is a senator. I
could be wrong, and he said, look, I have someone
(24:45):
in his family has down syndrome. It's for that reason
I'm against redistricting. Now listen, I understand if you don't
like what Trump said. I'm not a big fan of
that myself. I whatever that the issue here. The issue here, though,
is that you should consider the merits of the argument.
(25:08):
Based upon the merits of the argument, So I mean,
where does this, Where would this end right? Where where
would we end this? Or where where would this line
of reasoning take us if we took it to the
nth degree, I mean it would it would lead us
to utter madness, to where no one would be endorsing,
(25:30):
supporting opposing ideas based upon the merit of the ideas.
It would just be all about who's who's in favor
of it, and you would never talk about the reasons why,
which is what I'm interested in. I'm actually I remember
when I was talking with this about this with a
group of friends last week, and I said, listen, I'm
(25:50):
more inclined to do almost the opposite of that. I'm
inclined even when someone that I think is wrong odd
virtually everything, when they come up with the good idea,
If I think it's a good idea, I'm gonna I'm
gonna work with them to see that get accomplished, that
idea be implemented, that piece of legislation be passed, or whatever.
(26:13):
I wouldn't say because it's a good idea, but I
don't like something that you said last week or month,
or you know, in another conversation that has nothing to
do with this, I'm against the ideas. That's lunacy, my friends,
that's craziness. Again, these are the reasons that we are given.
In fact, I've got another reason here from Veronica on Facebook.
(26:37):
This is they talking about the representatives in Indiana, the
Senate in particular, now have a chance to do the
right thing, which again, what is the right thing, Veronica,
do what you want to do politically. But anyway, she says,
and stand as a bulwark against a corrupt and violent
political administration in Washington. So her point is the right
(26:58):
thing to do is to stand against street districting because
Trump's administration is corrupt and violent. I suppose she means
ice in the streets is what's violent. I don't know
what else she would be referring to. I know she's
(27:19):
not referring to ben Ghazi when Obama was in office
and when Hillary left those folks to basically finn for
themselves because it might impact her campaign. I know she's
not talking about the violence of Biden when he abandoned
people in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands, I think the number
(27:40):
was fifteen thousand, and many people died in Afghanistan. In fact,
we've had the individual who shot the National Guard in Washington.
D C was one of the individuals who came from
Afghanistan and all that mayhem and just chaos that was there.
(28:01):
So what violence are they talking about? ICE? I mean, listen,
if you follow the instructions of ICE, if you don't
interfere with what they're trying to do, there is no violence.
In fact, most of the violence. I'm not here. I
can't defend uniformly every ICE agent out there, but it
seems to me that the violence comes when they are
(28:24):
trying to prevent ICE from doing its job, which is,
by the way, in accordance with the law. Why is
it not violence to allow criminal illegal aliens to stay
in our country? Why is it not violence to allow
gang members to stay in our country? People who harm
(28:45):
and even kill American citizens? Why is that not violence? Veronica,
I don't know what you're talking about, the violent political
administration in Washington, but she says it's not easy. Granted
that they did, but they did sign up to represent
the peace people of Indiana, not Trump and Putin. I mean,
this is literally the arguments against this, not Trump and Putin.
(29:08):
You realize that that whole Russian collusion, delusion has been
disproven one hundred percent. It is insane to ever to
have ever believed that stupid narrative, as I've said on
this program many times, to think that the last step
in a conspiracy is an advertising campaign that tricks Hillary
(29:30):
voters into voting for Trump. That's what it was. That
was the whole argument. And she's she. Here we are
ten years later, and Veronica still thinks that we shouldn't
redistrict because we need Democrats to go and oppose Trump
because he's tied to Putin. I mean, this is bonkers,
my friends, This is wild stuff. This is the best.
(29:50):
And by the way, if you're a person who opposes
opposes redistricting, right now, these are the people speaking for you.
I I have gone everywhere I know, I have gone
on social media. I have said it on this program.
I mentioned it when I spoke at the Capitol building.
I invited those people. Haven't heard from a single one
(30:13):
of them. By the way. I invited those people. I
invite you. I said, to come onto my program and
let's talk about this. Let's reason together, let's talk about
your objections and your rationale here. But I hear nothing.
I see people who will like comments that say Indiana
(30:35):
doesn't want this, and I say, why, just tell me
why I don't. I've gotten it from zero people, zero people,
And so right now, since you won't tell me, I'm
there may be good reasons. I've gone through them. I
just shared the one about this is a violation I
guess the federalism of states rights, which is preposterous. We're
(30:55):
voting on it now. If it was a violation of
states rights, Trump just would have instant tutored it and
the state legislature wouldn't have voted on it. But that's
not the way it works. We still have the rule
of law in this country Indiana to not have to
take it up. But for the reasons I've outlined, those
are the reasons, some of the reasons, a lot of
the reasons why Indiana is doing this and why I
(31:17):
support it. Veronica is over here talking about Putin. Putin
has zero to do with this is preposterous, she continues. Here,
It's no secret that Trump's administration is part of a
crime syndicate the world is she talking about. But even
worse is that he is working for Putin. I am
not making this. This is literally what it says. This
(31:38):
was in response to something at the Indianapolis Star. I'm
reading it verbatim. But even worse is that he is
working for Putin. Indiana needs to stand firm and not
let Red Dawn happen, My good Red Dawn. I'm a
child of the eighties. I watched Red Dawn. Do you
know what that is? Red Dawn, for those of you
(32:00):
who may not know, is a movie where Russia, the
Soviet Union, the Communist USSR invaded with paratroopers and everything
else the United States of America. I remember as a
kid we actually played guns. We played guns, toy guns
out in the woods, made our gun noises and everything else,
(32:20):
and we would play things like Red Dawn and Tour
of Duty. So this is their argument Putin and Red Dawn.
What in the world Veronica? I asked her, do you
work for CNN, because I'm half tempted to believe she does. Anyway,
this is the opposition. I'm I am pleading with those
of you who aren't in favor of this to come
(32:41):
and at least at least not let these radical leftist
lunatics speak for you, because they're the ones that are
speaking for you right now. They're the ones I saw
at the State House chanting and all that sort of stuff.
This is all I know. I'm asking you to tell me,

my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back to
my friends. I want to talk a little bit about
some of the things happening in other states that are
moving towards redistricting or who have already taken steps or
(34:15):
even done the process of redistricting, and we'll get into
that here in this the final segment of today's program.

investments align with your values. Four eight financial because your
values matter and so does your money, my friends. So
(35:22):
let's really quickly here look at some other states of
impact here for this redistricting issue. Texas, you know, has
already passed. I'm looking here at an article at the
Hill dot Com from probably a week ago. But of
course Texas passed a new map back earlier this year.
(35:48):
California passed Proposition fifty, which was a well, a proposition,
a referendum that gave the legislation nature the ability to
draw these maps. Now, a lot of people see that
or hear that, and they think Indiana didn't do that,
(36:09):
Texas didn't do that. That's because every again, the rules
that states have are set by the states, and so
California had a certain process that they followed for drawing maps.
They wanted to change that, and so they had to
do this. This is how they had to do it.
(36:29):
We don't have to do it here in Indiana. I'm
not going to repeat what's happening in Indiana. You know,
you know, it's past the House, it's gone through the
beginning phases, the first reading. There should be some stuff
that happens today. This could be voted on in its
final form. The final vote could literally be tomorrow, Thursday,
(36:51):
or Friday, So in the next couple of days this week,
it is likely that this issue is going to be
resolved here in the state of Indiana. So this is
your last chance. I know you might think, Hey, I've
not called yet. It's something I have on my to
do list. This takes a couple of minutes. This is
(37:14):
the moments where you can make your voice heard and
you can be counted as someone who can call in
and tell your senator what it is that you expect
them to do with these maps, and if you share
my thinking, you want them to pass these maps. Virginia
Democrats again, according to the Hill dot com, I've seen
(37:36):
this elsewhere reported as well, but Virginia Democrats have begun
the process of moving forward with their redrawn map. They
passed a mid decade redistricting bill in October that allowed
lawmakers to initiate the process. It's funny because I hear
I have heard about people who talk about this and
(37:58):
they say this is all in respet to Indiana. Well,
they passed it back in October. That's what. How's that
In response to Indiana Indiana didn't call this session until
about a month or so ago, so it doesn't seem
like that's consistent to me. But regardless, it's their prerogative.
(38:20):
I'm going to be remarkably consistent on this. Lawmakers now
need to pass it one more time, the Hill reads
here in the state legislature, which they're expected to do fairly,
which they're expected to do easily, So probably won't see
conservatives descend on the state House and chant in Richmond,
(38:41):
ridiculous nonsense that I had to endure here at our
state House. But I'm happy to do it, my friends.
It was entertaining to me that will tee up. This
article says a vote a constitutional amendment before voters for
a special election, which they're aiming to do in the
spring and summer. This new map is created, excuse me,
(39:03):
expected to create at least two additional Democrat leaning districts
Missouri we already know past the House map earlier. A
new map earlier this year should yield potentially one more
GOP seat in the state of Missouri. North Carolina Republicans
(39:24):
there advanced a new congressional map in October, which they
should be able to turn potentially again, none of this
stuff is guaranteed. That's the other thing. The more districts
you try to squeeze out of your state, the more
statistically competitive they're all going to become because you're spreading
your party's votes out over more districts. So so in
(39:48):
the are excuse me, North Carolina might be able to
get another seat there. In Utah, a judge handed a
win to Democrats by choosing a how map for twenty
twenty six that gives the party one pickup opportunity, one
seat in the House they could pick up. That's the
(40:10):
what's it doesn't tell me what seat that is. Florida.
A Florida House redistricting panel is set to convene well,
I think they convened last week for its first meeting,
as Republicans looked to move forward with new maps there.
Governor Ron de Santa said in an interview with The
(40:32):
Floridian that he's planning to call a special session, likely
between March and May. This is going to happen, my friends,
potentially in lots of places, Ohio, Maryland, New York. I've
got others as well, but I'm out of time. My friends,
thank you so much for listening, Have a great day,
