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.

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 documented to prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. And now, coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your conservative but not
bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, my friends, the state of Indiana, the great
state of Indiana, is now front and center in this
nation's latest political battle.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I suppose as we've started the process.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Where the General Assembly, our state legislature is beginning the
process us of reviewing redistricting, and there are all sorts
of I don't know, misunderstandings, misrepresentations, faulty claims. Listen, you
do not have to be in favor of redistricting.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I am.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I've made it clear on this program multiple times. I've
made it clear in an open letter I wrote to
Senator State Senator Roderick Bray who, by the way, who's
still he still has not gotten back to me. Crickets
all over the place, which is inexcusable in its own right,
(01:41):
not just because, by the way, to be clear, not
because it's for me. I'm a constituent. I'm a constituent.
I think there's somewhere around there's just a few thousand
votes that are even cast in this district. He surely
could respond to constituents, but he's not.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He's not doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And listen, I know that this is intense. I'm getting
a lot of people that are upset at me, and
that's fine. Listen, it comes with the territory. If you're
not prepared, if you're not prepared to deal with some
metaphorical arrows here, you're not cut out for politics. You're
not cut out to discuss these things on the program.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I know that this is Indiana centric today and we've
got listeners all over the country. But again, this is
of national importance because because depending in part, maybe in
large part, on what happens here in Indiana, and then
of course what happens in the election next November could
(02:41):
determine who's in charge of the House of Representatives. That
could determine, my friends, if we're going to continue to
dig out of this mess that we've been led into
by the lovers of big government, or whether we are
going to have years two years at least Trump's final
two years of investigations, impeachment, obstruction, weaponization of government.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
This is listen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't want to overstate this, but we are in
the fight for the survival of our constitutional republic, make
no mistake about it. That is what's going on here.
In fact, maybe even maybe even.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
For this is the fight for the survival of Western civilization.
We have to win this.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You cannot compromise politically with people who are diametrically opposed
have a diametrically opposed worldview than those of us who
are constitutional conservatives. We have to defeat them. And I
mean politically. I mean politically, I don't mean anything beyond that.
But we have to win this politically. We have to
(03:49):
make sure that we don't lose this fight for the
sake of our republican So I want to talk about
this today. This certainly applies. This overall discussion applies because
this is happening in many states, and it might be
happening in others in the future as well. So that's
(04:10):
where we're headed today. I welcome you to the program.
You can always share your thoughts, opinions, feedback, all of that.
Todd at Todd hashowed dot com. You can share those
opinions on social media as well. Facebook's probably the best
place to do that right now, but we're on Instagram
as well. Our YouTube and TikTok channels have been on
(04:32):
hold for a bit as we're re restructuring some things,
but we'll be back there in short order as well. Anyway,
what I want to do here is hit the ground
running with that. But before I do, my friends, before
we do that, I know many of you are dealing
with discomfort. Some of you are tired of living off
(04:52):
of prescriptions and managing those side effects. Those side effects
can be nasty, by the way, and you're not alone.
A lot of folks are looking for something natural they
can trust. That's why I think you should check out
Christopher's Organic Botanicals. It's a family run natural kreatim company
that's rooted in true transparency and tradition. They partner directly
(05:16):
with farmers in Indonesia. They lab test everything before it
ever reaches your hands. There's no hype, no synthetics, no
funny business, just the real thing done right. The horror
stories which you've undoubtedly heard some horror stories about Kreatom,
those come from shady sellers, people looking to make a
(05:38):
quick buck and who are not afraid to throw synthetic
garbage out there, even stuff that isn't real kretom and
so there's a lot of information and misinformation and you
should do your research look into this and if you
decide that Creatum is right for you could even research
by the way at Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. But

tradition and transparency. All right, So I have we're in
(06:22):
the process of re what I want to say, making
some changes to the program. And one of the things
we're ramping up now is just the process of doing
more interviews, which there's a lot of stuff going on
(06:42):
besides behind the scenes, I should say so, But in
doing that, there's a couple of different types of people
we would have and of course people that can add
to the conversation, who you know, maybe well known, like
we've had Eric Trump and Mark levent on here to
(07:03):
people who are representatives. We've had some representatives of course
on here as well, elected officials, other people who talk
about the issues. But also and sometimes people that I
just find interesting. We've had people on here that I
just wanted to talk with before and you have a conversation,
(07:23):
hear there's stories, that kind of thing. But then there's
another group which includes people just average everyday people. And
we're not we don't have a live call in number,
But what we do have we have the ability for
people to and we're putting this information together, the ability
(07:44):
for people to actually come on the program. We'd schedule
a time and talk and talk about what they want
to talk about with me, so we could get other opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And I've asked people.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I've asked people, especially those who don't share my opinions
on redistricting, which, by the way, I say that they're
completely entitled to those opinions.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know, a lot of the things that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
We talk about on this program, you know, it's not
even political anymore. We're talking about good versus evil and
many things. Redistricting is not that redistricting might be a
step towards being able to win the fight over good
between good and evil. But you can be against redistricting
(08:29):
and not be evil. Hear me say that, by the way.
Hear me say that. There are certain issues. There's other
issues by the way that I think that.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
About as well. But when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
When it comes to redistricting, is that is a political exercise,
a political opinion. You can be a conservative and disagree
with my assessment. You can certainly do that, and you're
not immoral or evil or anything like that. There are
issues that if you're on the wrong side of them,
you are I think, sometimes openly practicing and enabling, sometimes
(09:12):
just pushing evil. But that's not the case here. But
it is important still. It is important still.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
But I can't get people.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Who will come on here and talk about and share
their opinion. And I don't know if it's because they're
just afraid of being put on the spot. I don't
know if they think I'm gonna be inappropriate or I'm
not gonna do that. I mean, you've listened, I don't
do again. We haven't done a ton of interviews. But
that's not the style of this program. That's not what
we're gonna do. I'm gonna let people talk. I'm gonna
(09:41):
let people share their opinions. I'm gonna let people make
their case. I may put why, we'll push back and
ask questions. I may disagree completely, but I at least
want to hear the opinion. So I can't get that
just yet. The invitation remains open. If you or anyone
else you know, especially people who disagree with me, until
I get that form up, you can email Todd at
(10:02):
todopshow dot com and say, hey, I want to talk
about redistricting. I have a different opinion than you, and
I will hear you out and we might have a
conversation on here. Doesn't that to be an hour, It
needs to be a little, but it needs to be
more than thirty seconds. But you get the idea. You
can reach out about that. But I did have people
who posted things or shared things with me online, and
(10:25):
I have one thing here that's put together by Mad Voters.
Mad Voters is a group. I don't know if it's
just in Indiana, I don't know. I haven't dug into
their website, but I have looked at this particular kind
of information sheet that they have. It says this statement
on proposed redistricting. It's dated yesterday, December first, Mad Voters
(10:47):
is who put this together. They've got the map, which,
by the way, I put the map out yesterday both
online well on our Facebook page and in our newsletter, which,
by the way, you can get that for free Toddubshow
dot com just to subscribe to the Inner Circle newsletter
and you can get this information. You'll get some behind
(11:08):
the scenes stuff, some additional analysis, you'll get some other
information in the newsletter. And this went out yesterday. But
what I'm sharing here, this particular fact sheet opinion sheet anyway,
I just got last night, and I want to share
what some of the objections are. I'm going to go
(11:29):
through this whole sheet and talk about some of their objections.
I'm going to talk about other objections that are out
there as well, including people who are claiming that it
is against the Indiana State Constitution, which we'll get to.
But here's what this fact sheet or opinion sheet statement
I guess from Mad Voters says. It says four years ago,
(11:50):
Indiana lawmakers insisted they had crafted a perfect congressional voting
map that would serve Hoosier's well for the next ten years. Now, listen,
I don't know about that. I maybe someone said that,
maybe that was in the statement. Maybe it sounds like
something Trump would have said, although I don't think Trump
would have said that, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I can't attest to the valid validity of this.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But basically, what they're saying is, why are you wanted
to change a map that you said was perfect four
years ago, that it would serve Hoosier's well for the
next ten years, and you only allowed it to be
in place, or you're only allowing it to be in
place for four years. Now pause for a minute. This
is not remotely central to the argument. Even if someone
(12:36):
said this, there's a tremendous amount of pressure because of developments,
because of realities that exist, and let me just go
through those really quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Number one, the Republicans have a very narrow margin in
the House of Representatives. That's a fact, just a couple
of seats. If a couple of seats flip Democrats have control,
that means immediately that investigations in the Trump will commence,
that there will be probably impeachment votes, and so forth.
(13:10):
The weaponization of our government. True obstruction. Listen, I have
no qualms with legitimate investigations taking place, but I do
have a problem using the people's House for political nonsense
and political grand standing to interfere with the elected the
(13:30):
agenda of the person who was elected to be president.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Of the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Maybe his agenda doesn't get passed through Congress, but that's
one thing. It's another thing to use your powers to
engage in political grand standing and political theater. That is
one hundred percent what has happened. And it's not just that.
It's not just that there's a little gamesmanship going on.
It's that they've proven, beyond a reasonable doubt they on
(13:56):
the left, the Democrat Party, they are capable of weaponized
the government. This has happened, without doubt against Donald Trump primarily,
but it's been used in other senses as well. I
go back to the Lowest Learner investigation. When she was
with the IRS and they were investigating or obstructing conservative
(14:19):
groups from being able to get their proper IRS status.
It was a difficult process. They were targeting conservative groups,
trying to delay them, keep them from getting on their mission,
just make life difficult for them and for these smaller
nonprofits and so forth. That can be a very very
big barrier. You've got to be able to get out
there and do your job. There's all sorts of examples
(14:42):
of this. This started well before Trump entered the White House.
They were spying on his campaign. I mean, I don't
want to go through the whole thing. There was impeachment
one and impeachment two, Russian collusion, delusion, all this stuff.
Then there was everything that happened after January sixth, claiming
he was calling for an insurrection, an overthrow of our government,
(15:04):
which of course is preposterous. They doctored or they edited
his speech. BBC's one of these folks. In fact, they
may be looking at a lawsuit from Trump. We talked
about that not that long ago. But there is this
what they doctored what he was saying to mislead the
(15:25):
people into making it look like even with the doctor tapes.
There's a lot more to it, and reasonable people understand that.
But it led many people to believe that Trump was
calling for the people on January sixth to go down
to the Capitol Building and just take it over, which
is crazy. It's not what happened. But I listen, I
don't want to go through all that. You know, you've
(15:47):
seen this happen, You've seen the law change. Trump was
the first to have certain charges brought against him. The
thirty four felonies is really one alleged felony to have
happened multiple times, and the law was changed in order
(16:08):
to be able to or it was prosecuted in a
way it has never been prosecuted before. I mean, Trump
was the first in so many categories when it comes
to what he's had to deal with, and we know
that this is what happens.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I've said it before, I will say it again.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
To the radical left, this is not I don't mean
this to every Democrat, but I will tell you this
in Washington, d C. Many of these Democrats are radical
leftists or they are highly influenced by the radical left.
And to the radical left, government is god. I've gone
through this extensively, gone through this extensively, and they will
do whatever it takes as long as it takes them,
(16:43):
so long as it takes Trump away from sixteen hundred
Pennsylvania Avenue, or at best it prevents him from doing
what he was elected to do, they will do whatever
they can to stop this. This is the Seinfeld Newman strategy.
I've been through this dozens and dozens and dozens of times,
and this is their strategy. And so when you factor
(17:05):
that in and you combine that with the fact that
this country, this country was i would say, intentionally harmed
by the leftists when they are in political power. The
left wants to remake this country into something that it
was never intended to be. The Left hates this country
as founded. I know that that sounds like nails on
(17:28):
a chalkboard too many of your ears. It sounds like
that to me as well. I can't personally understand why
someone would feel that way, but they absolutely do wide
open borders, wide open borders. They didn't care what danger
they put Americans in. They were prepared to bring people
into this country to cause havoc and turmoil and ultimately
(17:51):
to change, hopefully from their perspective, the amount of people
who were voting for their insanity dilute the talk about
real dilution of votes. When we're talking here about redistricting,
it's having open borders. Do you know in twenty twenty
that illegal aliens were counted in the census. I've shared
this on here before as well. There were two reasons
(18:13):
that they were given. This was an executive order given
by Biden to count those folks, and that absolutely impacted,
absolutely impacted how many representatives each state got. You want
to talk about silencing the will, the voice of the
American people, giving a voice to people who aren't even
supposed to be here.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You realize how crazy that is.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
There's no universe in which the illegal alien population should
be counted towards the US census. But they say it's
for two reasons. Number one is to determine how many
federal dollars are assigned to each area of the country
based upon population, and it's also used to determine the
number of representatives. The same people who are saying who
(18:59):
have problems with our state here in Indiana redrawing districts
according to the law, are not saying a word about this.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
There are estimates.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I listen, I'm not going to give the estimates that
I think because I don't ultimately know. But if you're
looking at what is it twenty million, fifteen to twenty
million illegal aliens in the country that could have been
counted in the census, that is a lot of people.
And there are states that lost representation because of illegal aliens,
(19:35):
and there are states that gained representation getting additional seats.
So the folks that enable this, the folks that empower
this sort of thing from happening, are the Democrat Party.
The folks who enable that to happen, they're Democrats. They're
Democrats here in Indiana, They're Democrats all over the country.
And so what is wrong with people wanting to stop
(19:57):
that with every That's just one example, by the way,
stop that with every legal tool in their arsenal. Redistricting
is a legal tool, not illegal. It is a legal tool.
It is not immoral, it is not unethical. But this
sheet here that I'm referencing here says, but now some
Republican lawmakers are saying that this map, the Indiana map,
(20:20):
needs to be redrawn six years early to ensure their
party stays in power after the midterms. I've shared on
here before. That's I mean, that's certainly an interpretation I make.
This is a political exercise, This is a political fight.
People like me are tired. We are tired of having
(20:40):
this system used against us. And then when we try
to respond or take action to fight back against the
side that wants open borders, no voter id the side
that counts illegal aliens in the census and literally creates
a congression seats in states that shouldn't have these extra
(21:02):
seats and takes them away from other states.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
They're lecturing us on wanting to.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Figure out a way to keep people from uh from
being elected to enable this garbage to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That's what's at stake here.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You cannot listen that they need to be stopped at
every and we should use every legal and ethical moral
tool at our exposal a disposal. It is one legitimate
to use this as one of those tools. Now they
say that this is cheating, this is election rigging. It's
disgraceful and unethical. How tell me, how tell me how
(21:42):
it is cheating? Tell me how it's cheating.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It doesn't explain it. It just makes a statement, this
is cheating, It says, how is it cheating? How is
it rigging elections? You know, every person who registers to vote.
I got to take a break here. Every person who
registers to vote can still vote. Maybe if you're party
dinners and put together some same candidates, maybe they can
win elections. In fact, we've diluted Republican votes and spread
(22:06):
them over more districts, so more districts should be in play.
Are you going to be able to secure those votes?
I don't know, It's possible. We'll see. Time will tell.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Friends.
Speaker 2 (22:16):

promo code Todd quick time out for a me of
my friends back here in just a minute, Yes, my friends,
(23:04):
Someone tell me how this is cheating? What is your
definition of cheating? Would these districts if they had been
drawn in twenty twenty four years ago or twenty twenty
one I guess after the twenty twenty census, if these
districts had been drawn, then would that have been cheating?
What is your problem here? How is it cheating? How
(23:26):
is it rigging elections? Listen, if you take political parties
out of this mix, if you stop looking at this
as Democrats and Republicans, if you stop looking at the
overall vote. By the way, have you ever heard me
complain about how Massachusetts draws their districts. I have made
comments on how Illinois truly jerrymanders. Jerrymandering, by the way,
(23:49):
refers to incredibly odd shaped districts that go out of
their way to group certain people, certain cities together. That
is not what we have in this particular instance. These
are not jerrymannered. In Indiana's proposed map here include it.
Basically most of these areas are the entire county.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Not every time.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Sometimes it splits counties or cities, which of course is
where most Democrat voters are. Marion County, which is where
Indianapolis is, is split into four districts. This is considered
I guess im moral. I don't know why someone needs
to explain that to me. Is there something in the
(24:36):
constitution is there something that comes from the hand of
God that says you can't split Marion County into four districts.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Why not? I mean, I understand that it might.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Put you at a political disadvantage, but you can absolutely
if you got your head on straight Democrat Party, and
I'm not here to help you do that. I mean, listen,
if it would move you away from leftism, if Democrats
would care about the Constitution against stop hating America as founded,
stop electing people to leadership positions in Congress who felt
(25:12):
that way. If the Democrat Party had an absolute reawakening
in that sense and it wasn't the anti American party,
that this actually could be good for everybody. But that's
what the Democrats are going to have to do here.
They're going to have to stop nominating people who are radical,
or people who are supporting radicals or a godless worldview
(25:36):
in our nation. Who do you think started this incredibly
insane trans agenda?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Who did that?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Who gave us open borders, who's given us government waste, fraud,
and abuse. Listen, I'm not here to say Republicans and
especially Rhino Republicans are nowhere to blame here. It's not
my point but the insane radical madness is one hundred
percent coming from the radical left, which of course has
(26:08):
found its home in the Democrat Party. Someone tell me
how this is cheating, how it's rigging elections. You know,
it's remarkable to me if you think about this, you
go back to twenty sixteen. Democrats told us then that
Trump stole an election by tricking Hillary voters into voting
for Trump into voting for him, using Putin and his
(26:31):
vast team of social media marketers who tricked them into
voting for Trump. So to a Democrat to the left today,
someone who I guess election rigging involves a slick advertising campaign,
That's not what election rigging is. What election ringing is
(26:52):
is what the Republicans accused Democrats of doing in twenty twenty.
If you've seen two thousand mules said back in twenty sixteen,
if you the last step in a master plan to
steal an election is not an advertising campaign, I said,
if this is how affected these advertisers are, these people
(27:12):
who social media marketers were in twenty sixteen, every single
company in the world, every single political campaign, would have
been hiring these people to run their campaigns.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
But that didn't happen. That was a narrative given.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
To people who dare I say, were just ignorant or
willfully stupid to believe this nonsense. It was the dumbest
thing I remember saying at the time. It's the stupidest
thing I have ever heard pushed repeatedly on a national
scale that people believed, and some people still believe. Election
rigging involves tampering with votes. That's what that involves. Election
(27:49):
rigging involves trying to get people things like this, trying
to get people who shouldn't be able to cast ballots
into the polling place, getting a ballot into their hand.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
That's what election rigging looks like.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
An election rigging would look more like trying to get
access to the tallies and trying to interfere with what
the final outputs of the votes were. That's what rigging
looks like. This is drawing boundaries where people within these
boundary lines can cast their ballot for a particular particular race,
(28:25):
candidates who are in a particular race, and then the
representative would represent those people in that district. Whatever shape
it is, look if it's a contiguous shape, if it's
not a strangely drawn shape, and there's nothing dramatic here.
The only thing you could say, potentially is new District nine,
(28:46):
which is where I would find myself. But that's a
stretch to say that that's truly jerrymandered. The term, by
the way, jerrymandering comes from eighteen twelve, when there was
a seat drawn in Massachusetts that people said look like
a salamander. So it turned into the I think the
governor at the time his name was something with the
(29:09):
word jerry in it, so it became jerrymanderd. It's going
out of your way to draw absurd shapes. Compare in
order to get the outcome that you're trying to get.
Compare this to Illinois, Compare this to other states, and
you'll find that this is incredibly mild and this is
not jerry mandered. But they say that this is disgraceful
(29:30):
and unethical. Why tell me why it's unethical. Tell me
why it's disgraceful. I had someone on social media say
that she was embarrassed by this map.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I asked her why. I asked her.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Twice, crickets nothing. Why is this embarrassing? What is it
about this map that's embarrassing? What is it about this
map that is election rigging. I don't even know what
that means. How can a map be election rigging? And
I mean stopping people from voting would be election rigging.
You know, allowing people who are not supposed to legally
cast a ballot to vote, that's election rigging. Dumping fake
(30:05):
ballots into the counting process would be election rigging. Those
are examples of election rigging. This is not These are boundaries.
Make your case campaign, get support and for your candidate,
and get votes. That's not cheating. That's what this says.
They think that they're making the case for cheating here.
(30:26):
Continuing here, it says the proposed map, released just hours
before the twenty twenty sixth session begins early splits Marion
County into fourths, depriving residents, depriving residents of our most
populous city, accurate representation. There's nothing that says Indianapolis has
(30:49):
to have one representative.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
What if Indianapolis had more than enough people for even
one Congression district and you split it?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is that wrong? Again?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What are the lines supposed to be? There's nothing that
says any party should have any number of districts. There's
no such thing as a Republican seat or Republican district.
There's no such thing as a Democrat district. I understand
in practice that there are these things, because that's how
we refer to them. If if Republicans routinely win a district,
(31:24):
you say that's a Republican district, and so forth.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But that is just.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
In in practice. There's nothing that says that these that
anyone has.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
A right to any of these things.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
And this idea of proportional representation is nothing at all
like what the Founders set forth. Just because forty percent
of this state votes Democrat in national elections does not
mean that they win forty percent of the vote. You know,
I did a little bit of research, and I'm not
going to be able to do this this segment, but
I'll talk about it in the next segment.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You know, it's.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Possible if you're a fan of the NBA Finals. Of course,
the Pacers went last year. The Pacers are not going
this year. I think they're four and four and seventeen.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think g.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Whiz been decimated by injuries. That's another another story. But
it's possible for your team to in the NBA Finals,
in the World Series to have more total points or
runs than the opponents, but yet you lose the series.
(32:29):
That's one possible. It has happened in the past. In fact,
one example, the team that won the World Series excuse mean,
the team that lost the World Series scored twice as
many runs in the World Series than their opponent, the
eventual winner of the.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
World Series did.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But that is possible, So it's it's it's how So
no one would say, well, they scored more runs but
lost more games, so they should win the World Series.
This is the rules of the game. This is how
this is established, and I want to share little bit
about that on the other side of the break before
I get to that, my friends, let's be honest. When

(33:53):
Time out, my friends, is in order for me. You're
listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host, Todt
Huff back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
I'm gonna share with you just an analogy here. Nineteen
sixty World Series between who was this between the Pittsburgh
Pirates New York Yankees. Pittsburgh won the series four to three,
(34:16):
seven game series, but they were outscored in that series
fifty five to twenty seven. Now that might sound like
it doesn't make sense. The Yankees scored what is that
twenty eight more runs, but yet they lost the series.
And I'll explain this really quickly to the rules of
(34:38):
the game. It doesn't matter. It's just they know this.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
They know this.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You have to win. You can't score all your runs
in one game. You can't have every vote in one
district for a Democrat and think that you should that
that should be applied equally. This is the stretch that
people have to stretches that they have to make to
try to say that this is some sort of immoral
(35:04):
thing to do.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Is wild to me. But again, we don't have any
thinkers out there. Are there?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
There's some I know you are, but I'm talking about
in this larger conversation. There's just people who feel they
feel and they say things like it's cheating, and then
other people say, oh gee, I don't want to be
a cheater, and then we're having this is not cheating anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
We get to that in a moment, my friends. One
of the.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well investments. Investments that we make are like seeds that
we plant. They grow, they multiply, but are they bearing
the kind of fruit that you want them to bear.
At four to eight Financial, they believe your money should
reflect your values. They specialize in wealth management and biblically
responsible investing, screening out companies that do not align with
(35:49):
your faith. It's all part of their central purpose centered
excuse me, financial planning, helping you live a life of
meaning and purpose. You can see they have the tools
to help you see if and to what degree your
current investments align with your values. I know some of
you are thinking, oh, man, I don't want to get
into this. I don't want to have to change the
(36:10):
way my investments are allocated.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I get it it can be a hassle.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But my friends, do you really want your money to
be funding the opposition, the political adversary, or even worse,
something that you find morally truly morally repulsive, like abortion.
If you don't want to see those things being funded
(36:34):
by your portfolio, go to four eight financial dot com
slash todd. That's for eight financial dot com slash todd.
Take a quick assessment and see to what degree your
investments align with your values. For eight financial, they're here
to worry about your money, so you don't have to,
all right, I said, really quickly. Nineteen sixty World Series
(36:55):
Yankees Pirates. The Yankees, excuse me, the Pirates one four
to three, four games to three, but they were outscored
fifty five to twenty seven. They were basically doubled up.
They had twice as many runs scored against them than
they scored. But they somehow won. And the reason they
won is because the Yankees won three blowout games. One
(37:17):
was sixteen to three, one was ten to nothing, one
was twelve to nothing, and the Pirates won four close games.
They won one game six to four, another three to two,
another five to two, and another ten to nine. So
they won four games that were closed. The Yankees won
three games that were blowouts, thereby giving the Yankees a
lot more runs, but not the same number, well fewer victories,
(37:42):
they lost the series. This is similarly to how districts
are drawn or how votes are tabulated in districts. It
doesn't matter how the whole state votes. What matters is
how a particular district votes. And if every district got
forty percent of the vote, they would have zero of
the representatives. I hate this talk of represent what is
(38:05):
it represented? Proportional representation.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
There we go. I don't like this. It's not unfair
to be against that.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
You have to have an actual candidate and an actual
district get enough votes to actually win.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's what you need. But they say that it's cheating.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
They say that by cutting towns college towns like West
Lafayette and Munsey in half, it's doing something immoral by
splitting gen Z's votes. They've referenced this being racial at
components saying in components because it says the regions which
(38:44):
look in Indiana. I didn't know this until I went
to college. I went to Butler, and I remember we
were introducing ourselves to the freshmen or maybe it was
the full team, and they would say say your name,
and where you're from, what position you play, something like that,
And there were a bunch of guys that were so,
and I'm so and so from the region. I had
no idea, I'm from central Indiana. I had no idea
(39:06):
small fly over country here, small town USA. I had
no idea what the region was. But it referenced a
part of northwest Indiana that's kind of the Chicago suburbs,
and then extending even a little bit further than that,
they refer to it as the region. I didn't know this,
but this says here that apparently, I guess the region
(39:29):
is entitled its own representative one representative, because it says
on this sheet put together by Mad Voters that by
splitting that area up, you're targeting black voters who make
up a significant portion of that district, which is the region.
There's not there's not a district called the region. There's
(39:50):
there are congressional districts that have numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
That's what they are in Indiana. This is preposterous, This
is this is soft. I'm looking for a reason.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Look, I understand if you say, look, we don't want
to change this midstream, we don't want this to be
politically motivated. Okay, let's say that. That's your position, but
there's others that. Okay, you can have that, but these
other things are crazy, if you ask me crazy. They
don't like that Indianapolis has been split again. Why is
(40:23):
Indianapolis entitled not to be split? If you look at
the problems we have in Indiana and you look at
the people who are running the city of Indianapolis, I'll
tell you what. The people in Indianapolis have created havoc
for the people who live outside Indianapolis who like to
go see the city. At some point, they're more of
the problem, those elected officials in Indianapolis than the solution. Anyway,
(40:47):
I gotta go, my friends, out of time here 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 documented to prevents and
even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. And now, coming to you from the
(00:29):
full suite Wealth Studios, here is your conservative but not
bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, my friends, the state of Indiana, the great
state of Indiana, is now front and center in this
nation's latest political battle.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I suppose as we've started the process.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Where the General Assembly, our state legislature is beginning the
process us of reviewing redistricting, and there are all sorts
of I don't know, misunderstandings, misrepresentations, faulty claims. Listen, you
do not have to be in favor of redistricting.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I am.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I've made it clear on this program multiple times. I've
made it clear in an open letter I wrote to
Senator State Senator Roderick Bray who, by the way, who's
still he still has not gotten back to me. Crickets
all over the place, which is inexcusable in its own right,
(01:41):
not just because, by the way, to be clear, not
because it's for me. I'm a constituent. I'm a constituent.
I think there's somewhere around there's just a few thousand
votes that are even cast in this district. He surely
could respond to constituents, but he's not.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He's not doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And listen, I know that this is intense. I'm getting
a lot of people that are upset at me, and
that's fine. Listen, it comes with the territory. If you're
not prepared, if you're not prepared to deal with some
metaphorical arrows here, you're not cut out for politics. You're
not cut out to discuss these things on the program.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I know that this is Indiana centric today and we've
got listeners all over the country. But again, this is
of national importance because because depending in part, maybe in
large part, on what happens here in Indiana, and then
of course what happens in the election next November could
(02:41):
determine who's in charge of the House of Representatives. That
could determine, my friends, if we're going to continue to
dig out of this mess that we've been led into
by the lovers of big government, or whether we are
going to have years two years at least Trump's final
two years of investigations, impeachment, obstruction, weaponization of government.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
This is listen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't want to overstate this, but we are in
the fight for the survival of our constitutional republic, make
no mistake about it. That is what's going on here.
In fact, maybe even maybe even.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
For this is the fight for the survival of Western civilization.
We have to win this.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You cannot compromise politically with people who are diametrically opposed
have a diametrically opposed worldview than those of us who
are constitutional conservatives. We have to defeat them. And I
mean politically. I mean politically, I don't mean anything beyond that.
But we have to win this politically. We have to
(03:49):
make sure that we don't lose this fight for the
sake of our republican So I want to talk about
this today. This certainly applies. This overall discussion applies because
this is happening in many states, and it might be
happening in others in the future as well. So that's
(04:10):
where we're headed today. I welcome you to the program.
You can always share your thoughts, opinions, feedback, all of that.
Todd at Todd hashowed dot com. You can share those
opinions on social media as well. Facebook's probably the best
place to do that right now, but we're on Instagram
as well. Our YouTube and TikTok channels have been on
(04:32):
hold for a bit as we're re restructuring some things,
but we'll be back there in short order as well. Anyway,
what I want to do here is hit the ground
running with that. But before I do, my friends, before
we do that, I know many of you are dealing
with discomfort. Some of you are tired of living off
(04:52):
of prescriptions and managing those side effects. Those side effects
can be nasty, by the way, and you're not alone.
A lot of folks are looking for something natural they
can trust. That's why I think you should check out
Christopher's Organic Botanicals. It's a family run natural kreatim company
that's rooted in true transparency and tradition. They partner directly
(05:16):
with farmers in Indonesia. They lab test everything before it
ever reaches your hands. There's no hype, no synthetics, no
funny business, just the real thing done right. The horror
stories which you've undoubtedly heard some horror stories about Kreatom,
those come from shady sellers, people looking to make a
(05:38):
quick buck and who are not afraid to throw synthetic
garbage out there, even stuff that isn't real kretom and
so there's a lot of information and misinformation and you
should do your research look into this and if you
decide that Creatum is right for you could even research
by the way at Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. But
(05:59):
if you decide it's a good fit for you and
you would like to give it a try, you can
start with their Kreative Starter pack. Use coupon code Todd
Huff you'll save ten percent off your first order again
Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. That's Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com. Truth,
tradition and transparency. All right, So I have we're in
(06:22):
the process of re what I want to say, making
some changes to the program. And one of the things
we're ramping up now is just the process of doing
more interviews, which there's a lot of stuff going on
(06:42):
besides behind the scenes, I should say so, But in
doing that, there's a couple of different types of people
we would have and of course people that can add
to the conversation, who you know, maybe well known, like
we've had Eric Trump and Mark levent on here to
(07:03):
people who are representatives. We've had some representatives of course
on here as well, elected officials, other people who talk
about the issues. But also and sometimes people that I
just find interesting. We've had people on here that I
just wanted to talk with before and you have a conversation,
(07:23):
hear there's stories, that kind of thing. But then there's
another group which includes people just average everyday people. And
we're not we don't have a live call in number,
But what we do have we have the ability for
people to and we're putting this information together, the ability
(07:44):
for people to actually come on the program. We'd schedule
a time and talk and talk about what they want
to talk about with me, so we could get other opinions.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And I've asked people.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I've asked people, especially those who don't share my opinions
on redistricting, which, by the way, I say that they're
completely entitled to those opinions.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You know, a lot of the things that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
We talk about on this program, you know, it's not
even political anymore. We're talking about good versus evil and
many things. Redistricting is not that redistricting might be a
step towards being able to win the fight over good
between good and evil. But you can be against redistricting
(08:29):
and not be evil. Hear me say that, by the way.
Hear me say that. There are certain issues. There's other
issues by the way that I think that.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
About as well. But when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
When it comes to redistricting, is that is a political exercise,
a political opinion. You can be a conservative and disagree
with my assessment. You can certainly do that, and you're
not immoral or evil or anything like that. There are
issues that if you're on the wrong side of them,
you are I think, sometimes openly practicing and enabling, sometimes
(09:12):
just pushing evil. But that's not the case here. But
it is important still. It is important still.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
But I can't get people.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Who will come on here and talk about and share
their opinion. And I don't know if it's because they're
just afraid of being put on the spot. I don't
know if they think I'm gonna be inappropriate or I'm
not gonna do that. I mean, you've listened, I don't
do again. We haven't done a ton of interviews. But
that's not the style of this program. That's not what
we're gonna do. I'm gonna let people talk. I'm gonna
(09:41):
let people share their opinions. I'm gonna let people make
their case. I may put why, we'll push back and
ask questions. I may disagree completely, but I at least
want to hear the opinion. So I can't get that
just yet. The invitation remains open. If you or anyone
else you know, especially people who disagree with me, until
I get that form up, you can email Todd at
(10:02):
todopshow dot com and say, hey, I want to talk
about redistricting. I have a different opinion than you, and
I will hear you out and we might have a
conversation on here. Doesn't that to be an hour, It
needs to be a little, but it needs to be
more than thirty seconds. But you get the idea. You
can reach out about that. But I did have people
who posted things or shared things with me online, and
(10:25):
I have one thing here that's put together by Mad Voters.
Mad Voters is a group. I don't know if it's
just in Indiana, I don't know. I haven't dug into
their website, but I have looked at this particular kind
of information sheet that they have. It says this statement
on proposed redistricting. It's dated yesterday, December first, Mad Voters
(10:47):
is who put this together. They've got the map, which,
by the way, I put the map out yesterday both
online well on our Facebook page and in our newsletter, which,
by the way, you can get that for free Toddubshow
dot com just to subscribe to the Inner Circle newsletter
and you can get this information. You'll get some behind
(11:08):
the scenes stuff, some additional analysis, you'll get some other
information in the newsletter. And this went out yesterday. But
what I'm sharing here, this particular fact sheet opinion sheet anyway,
I just got last night, and I want to share
what some of the objections are. I'm going to go
(11:29):
through this whole sheet and talk about some of their objections.
I'm going to talk about other objections that are out
there as well, including people who are claiming that it
is against the Indiana State Constitution, which we'll get to.
But here's what this fact sheet or opinion sheet statement
I guess from Mad Voters says. It says four years ago,
(11:50):
Indiana lawmakers insisted they had crafted a perfect congressional voting
map that would serve Hoosier's well for the next ten years. Now, listen,
I don't know about that. I maybe someone said that,
maybe that was in the statement. Maybe it sounds like
something Trump would have said, although I don't think Trump
would have said that, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I can't attest to the valid validity of this.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But basically, what they're saying is, why are you wanted
to change a map that you said was perfect four
years ago, that it would serve Hoosier's well for the
next ten years, and you only allowed it to be
in place, or you're only allowing it to be in
place for four years. Now pause for a minute. This
is not remotely central to the argument. Even if someone
(12:36):
said this, there's a tremendous amount of pressure because of developments,
because of realities that exist, and let me just go
through those really quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Number one, the Republicans have a very narrow margin in
the House of Representatives. That's a fact, just a couple
of seats. If a couple of seats flip Democrats have control,
that means immediately that investigations in the Trump will commence,
that there will be probably impeachment votes, and so forth.
(13:10):
The weaponization of our government. True obstruction. Listen, I have
no qualms with legitimate investigations taking place, but I do
have a problem using the people's House for political nonsense
and political grand standing to interfere with the elected the
(13:30):
agenda of the person who was elected to be president.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Of the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Maybe his agenda doesn't get passed through Congress, but that's
one thing. It's another thing to use your powers to
engage in political grand standing and political theater. That is
one hundred percent what has happened. And it's not just that.
It's not just that there's a little gamesmanship going on.
It's that they've proven, beyond a reasonable doubt they on
(13:56):
the left, the Democrat Party, they are capable of weaponized
the government. This has happened, without doubt against Donald Trump primarily,
but it's been used in other senses as well. I
go back to the Lowest Learner investigation. When she was
with the IRS and they were investigating or obstructing conservative
(14:19):
groups from being able to get their proper IRS status.
It was a difficult process. They were targeting conservative groups,
trying to delay them, keep them from getting on their mission,
just make life difficult for them and for these smaller
nonprofits and so forth. That can be a very very
big barrier. You've got to be able to get out
there and do your job. There's all sorts of examples
(14:42):
of this. This started well before Trump entered the White House.
They were spying on his campaign. I mean, I don't
want to go through the whole thing. There was impeachment
one and impeachment two, Russian collusion, delusion, all this stuff.
Then there was everything that happened after January sixth, claiming
he was calling for an insurrection, an overthrow of our government,
(15:04):
which of course is preposterous. They doctored or they edited
his speech. BBC's one of these folks. In fact, they
may be looking at a lawsuit from Trump. We talked
about that not that long ago. But there is this
what they doctored what he was saying to mislead the
(15:25):
people into making it look like even with the doctor tapes.
There's a lot more to it, and reasonable people understand that.
But it led many people to believe that Trump was
calling for the people on January sixth to go down
to the Capitol Building and just take it over, which
is crazy. It's not what happened. But I listen, I
don't want to go through all that. You know, you've
(15:47):
seen this happen, You've seen the law change. Trump was
the first to have certain charges brought against him. The
thirty four felonies is really one alleged felony to have
happened multiple times, and the law was changed in order
(16:08):
to be able to or it was prosecuted in a
way it has never been prosecuted before. I mean, Trump
was the first in so many categories when it comes
to what he's had to deal with, and we know
that this is what happens.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I've said it before, I will say it again.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
To the radical left, this is not I don't mean
this to every Democrat, but I will tell you this
in Washington, d C. Many of these Democrats are radical
leftists or they are highly influenced by the radical left.
And to the radical left, government is god. I've gone
through this extensively, gone through this extensively, and they will
do whatever it takes as long as it takes them,
(16:43):
so long as it takes Trump away from sixteen hundred
Pennsylvania Avenue, or at best it prevents him from doing
what he was elected to do, they will do whatever
they can to stop this. This is the Seinfeld Newman strategy.
I've been through this dozens and dozens and dozens of times,
and this is their strategy. And so when you factor
(17:05):
that in and you combine that with the fact that
this country, this country was i would say, intentionally harmed
by the leftists when they are in political power. The
left wants to remake this country into something that it
was never intended to be. The Left hates this country
as founded. I know that that sounds like nails on
(17:28):
a chalkboard too many of your ears. It sounds like
that to me as well. I can't personally understand why
someone would feel that way, but they absolutely do wide
open borders, wide open borders. They didn't care what danger
they put Americans in. They were prepared to bring people
into this country to cause havoc and turmoil and ultimately
(17:51):
to change, hopefully from their perspective, the amount of people
who were voting for their insanity dilute the talk about
real dilution of votes. When we're talking here about redistricting,
it's having open borders. Do you know in twenty twenty
that illegal aliens were counted in the census. I've shared
this on here before as well. There were two reasons
(18:13):
that they were given. This was an executive order given
by Biden to count those folks, and that absolutely impacted,
absolutely impacted how many representatives each state got. You want
to talk about silencing the will, the voice of the
American people, giving a voice to people who aren't even
supposed to be here.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You realize how crazy that is.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
There's no universe in which the illegal alien population should
be counted towards the US census. But they say it's
for two reasons. Number one is to determine how many
federal dollars are assigned to each area of the country
based upon population, and it's also used to determine the
number of representatives. The same people who are saying who
(18:59):
have problems with our state here in Indiana redrawing districts
according to the law, are not saying a word about this.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
There are estimates.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I listen, I'm not going to give the estimates that
I think because I don't ultimately know. But if you're
looking at what is it twenty million, fifteen to twenty
million illegal aliens in the country that could have been
counted in the census, that is a lot of people.
And there are states that lost representation because of illegal aliens,
(19:35):
and there are states that gained representation getting additional seats.
So the folks that enable this, the folks that empower
this sort of thing from happening, are the Democrat Party.
The folks who enable that to happen, they're Democrats. They're
Democrats here in Indiana, They're Democrats all over the country.
And so what is wrong with people wanting to stop
(19:57):
that with every That's just one example, by the way,
stop that with every legal tool in their arsenal. Redistricting
is a legal tool, not illegal. It is a legal tool.
It is not immoral, it is not unethical. But this
sheet here that I'm referencing here says, but now some
Republican lawmakers are saying that this map, the Indiana map,
(20:20):
needs to be redrawn six years early to ensure their
party stays in power after the midterms. I've shared on
here before. That's I mean, that's certainly an interpretation I make.
This is a political exercise, This is a political fight.
People like me are tired. We are tired of having
(20:40):
this system used against us. And then when we try
to respond or take action to fight back against the
side that wants open borders, no voter id the side
that counts illegal aliens in the census and literally creates
a congression seats in states that shouldn't have these extra
(21:02):
seats and takes them away from other states.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
They're lecturing us on wanting to.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Figure out a way to keep people from uh from
being elected to enable this garbage to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That's what's at stake here.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You cannot listen that they need to be stopped at
every and we should use every legal and ethical moral
tool at our exposal a disposal. It is one legitimate
to use this as one of those tools. Now they
say that this is cheating, this is election rigging. It's
disgraceful and unethical. How tell me, how tell me how
(21:42):
it is cheating? Tell me how it's cheating.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It doesn't explain it. It just makes a statement, this
is cheating, It says, how is it cheating? How is
it rigging elections? You know, every person who registers to vote.
I got to take a break here. Every person who
registers to vote can still vote. Maybe if you're party
dinners and put together some same candidates, maybe they can
win elections. In fact, we've diluted Republican votes and spread
(22:06):
them over more districts, so more districts should be in play.
Are you going to be able to secure those votes?
I don't know, It's possible. We'll see. Time will tell.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Friends.

promo code Todd quick time out for a me of
my friends back here in just a minute, Yes, my friends,
(23:04):
Someone tell me how this is cheating? What is your
definition of cheating? Would these districts if they had been
drawn in twenty twenty four years ago or twenty twenty
one I guess after the twenty twenty census, if these
districts had been drawn, then would that have been cheating?
What is your problem here? How is it cheating? How
(23:26):
is it rigging elections? Listen, if you take political parties
out of this mix, if you stop looking at this
as Democrats and Republicans, if you stop looking at the
overall vote. By the way, have you ever heard me
complain about how Massachusetts draws their districts. I have made
comments on how Illinois truly jerrymanders. Jerrymandering, by the way,
(23:49):
refers to incredibly odd shaped districts that go out of
their way to group certain people, certain cities together. That
is not what we have in this particular instance. These
are not jerrymannered. In Indiana's proposed map here include it.
Basically most of these areas are the entire county.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Not every time.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Sometimes it splits counties or cities, which of course is
where most Democrat voters are. Marion County, which is where
Indianapolis is, is split into four districts. This is considered
I guess im moral. I don't know why someone needs
to explain that to me. Is there something in the
(24:36):
constitution is there something that comes from the hand of
God that says you can't split Marion County into four districts.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Why not? I mean, I understand that it might.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Put you at a political disadvantage, but you can absolutely
if you got your head on straight Democrat Party, and
I'm not here to help you do that. I mean, listen,
if it would move you away from leftism, if Democrats
would care about the Constitution against stop hating America as founded,
stop electing people to leadership positions in Congress who felt
(25:12):
that way. If the Democrat Party had an absolute reawakening
in that sense and it wasn't the anti American party,
that this actually could be good for everybody. But that's
what the Democrats are going to have to do here.
They're going to have to stop nominating people who are radical,
or people who are supporting radicals or a godless worldview
(25:36):
in our nation. Who do you think started this incredibly
insane trans agenda?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Who did that?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Who gave us open borders, who's given us government waste, fraud,
and abuse. Listen, I'm not here to say Republicans and
especially Rhino Republicans are nowhere to blame here. It's not
my point but the insane radical madness is one hundred
percent coming from the radical left, which of course has
(26:08):
found its home in the Democrat Party. Someone tell me
how this is cheating, how it's rigging elections. You know,
it's remarkable to me if you think about this, you
go back to twenty sixteen. Democrats told us then that
Trump stole an election by tricking Hillary voters into voting
for Trump into voting for him, using Putin and his
(26:31):
vast team of social media marketers who tricked them into
voting for Trump. So to a Democrat to the left today,
someone who I guess election rigging involves a slick advertising campaign,
That's not what election rigging is. What election ringing is
(26:52):
is what the Republicans accused Democrats of doing in twenty twenty.
If you've seen two thousand mules said back in twenty sixteen,
if you the last step in a master plan to
steal an election is not an advertising campaign, I said,
if this is how affected these advertisers are, these people
(27:12):
who social media marketers were in twenty sixteen, every single
company in the world, every single political campaign, would have
been hiring these people to run their campaigns.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
But that didn't happen. That was a narrative given.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
To people who dare I say, were just ignorant or
willfully stupid to believe this nonsense. It was the dumbest
thing I remember saying at the time. It's the stupidest
thing I have ever heard pushed repeatedly on a national
scale that people believed, and some people still believe. Election
rigging involves tampering with votes. That's what that involves. Election
(27:49):
rigging involves trying to get people things like this, trying
to get people who shouldn't be able to cast ballots
into the polling place, getting a ballot into their hand.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
That's what election rigging looks like.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
An election rigging would look more like trying to get
access to the tallies and trying to interfere with what
the final outputs of the votes were. That's what rigging
looks like. This is drawing boundaries where people within these
boundary lines can cast their ballot for a particular particular race,
(28:25):
candidates who are in a particular race, and then the
representative would represent those people in that district. Whatever shape
it is, look if it's a contiguous shape, if it's
not a strangely drawn shape, and there's nothing dramatic here.
The only thing you could say, potentially is new District nine,
(28:46):
which is where I would find myself. But that's a
stretch to say that that's truly jerrymandered. The term, by
the way, jerrymandering comes from eighteen twelve, when there was
a seat drawn in Massachusetts that people said look like
a salamander. So it turned into the I think the
governor at the time his name was something with the
(29:09):
word jerry in it, so it became jerrymanderd. It's going
out of your way to draw absurd shapes. Compare in
order to get the outcome that you're trying to get.
Compare this to Illinois, Compare this to other states, and
you'll find that this is incredibly mild and this is
not jerry mandered. But they say that this is disgraceful
(29:30):
and unethical. Why tell me why it's unethical. Tell me
why it's disgraceful. I had someone on social media say
that she was embarrassed by this map.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I asked her why. I asked her.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Twice, crickets nothing. Why is this embarrassing? What is it
about this map that's embarrassing? What is it about this
map that is election rigging. I don't even know what
that means. How can a map be election rigging? And
I mean stopping people from voting would be election rigging.
You know, allowing people who are not supposed to legally
cast a ballot to vote, that's election rigging. Dumping fake
(30:05):
ballots into the counting process would be election rigging. Those
are examples of election rigging. This is not These are boundaries.
Make your case campaign, get support and for your candidate,
and get votes. That's not cheating. That's what this says.
They think that they're making the case for cheating here.
(30:26):
Continuing here, it says the proposed map, released just hours
before the twenty twenty sixth session begins early splits Marion
County into fourths, depriving residents, depriving residents of our most
populous city, accurate representation. There's nothing that says Indianapolis has
(30:49):
to have one representative.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
What if Indianapolis had more than enough people for even
one Congression district and you split it?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is that wrong? Again?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
What are the lines supposed to be? There's nothing that
says any party should have any number of districts. There's
no such thing as a Republican seat or Republican district.
There's no such thing as a Democrat district. I understand
in practice that there are these things, because that's how
we refer to them. If if Republicans routinely win a district,
(31:24):
you say that's a Republican district, and so forth.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But that is just.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
In in practice. There's nothing that says that these that
anyone has.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
A right to any of these things.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
And this idea of proportional representation is nothing at all
like what the Founders set forth. Just because forty percent
of this state votes Democrat in national elections does not
mean that they win forty percent of the vote. You know,
I did a little bit of research, and I'm not
going to be able to do this this segment, but
I'll talk about it in the next segment.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You know, it's.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Possible if you're a fan of the NBA Finals. Of course,
the Pacers went last year. The Pacers are not going
this year. I think they're four and four and seventeen.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think g.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Whiz been decimated by injuries. That's another another story. But
it's possible for your team to in the NBA Finals,
in the World Series to have more total points or
runs than the opponents, but yet you lose the series.
(32:29):
That's one possible. It has happened in the past. In fact,
one example, the team that won the World Series excuse mean,
the team that lost the World Series scored twice as
many runs in the World Series than their opponent, the
eventual winner of the.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
World Series did.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But that is possible, So it's it's it's how So
no one would say, well, they scored more runs but
lost more games, so they should win the World Series.
This is the rules of the game. This is how
this is established, and I want to share little bit
about that on the other side of the break before
I get to that, my friends, let's be honest. When
your financial world starts getting a little more complicated, you

(33:53):
Time out, my friends, is in order for me. You're
listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host, Todt
Huff back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends.
I'm gonna share with you just an analogy here. Nineteen
sixty World Series between who was this between the Pittsburgh
Pirates New York Yankees. Pittsburgh won the series four to three,
(34:16):
seven game series, but they were outscored in that series
fifty five to twenty seven. Now that might sound like
it doesn't make sense. The Yankees scored what is that
twenty eight more runs, but yet they lost the series.
And I'll explain this really quickly to the rules of
(34:38):
the game. It doesn't matter. It's just they know this.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
They know this.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You have to win. You can't score all your runs
in one game. You can't have every vote in one
district for a Democrat and think that you should that
that should be applied equally. This is the stretch that
people have to stretches that they have to make to
try to say that this is some sort of immoral
(35:04):
thing to do.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Is wild to me. But again, we don't have any
thinkers out there. Are there?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
There's some I know you are, but I'm talking about
in this larger conversation. There's just people who feel they
feel and they say things like it's cheating, and then
other people say, oh gee, I don't want to be
a cheater, and then we're having this is not cheating anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
We get to that in a moment, my friends. One
of the.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well investments. Investments that we make are like seeds that
we plant. They grow, they multiply, but are they bearing
the kind of fruit that you want them to bear.
At four to eight Financial, they believe your money should
reflect your values. They specialize in wealth management and biblically
responsible investing, screening out companies that do not align with
(35:49):
your faith. It's all part of their central purpose centered
excuse me, financial planning, helping you live a life of
meaning and purpose. You can see they have the tools
to help you see if and to what degree your
current investments align with your values. I know some of
you are thinking, oh, man, I don't want to get
into this. I don't want to have to change the
(36:10):
way my investments are allocated.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I get it it can be a hassle.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But my friends, do you really want your money to
be funding the opposition, the political adversary, or even worse,
something that you find morally truly morally repulsive, like abortion.
If you don't want to see those things being funded
(36:34):
by your portfolio, go to four eight financial dot com
slash todd. That's for eight financial dot com slash todd.
Take a quick assessment and see to what degree your
investments align with your values. For eight financial, they're here
to worry about your money, so you don't have to,
all right, I said, really quickly. Nineteen sixty World Series
(36:55):
Yankees Pirates. The Yankees, excuse me, the Pirates one four
to three, four games to three, but they were outscored
fifty five to twenty seven. They were basically doubled up.
They had twice as many runs scored against them than
they scored. But they somehow won. And the reason they
won is because the Yankees won three blowout games. One
(37:17):
was sixteen to three, one was ten to nothing, one
was twelve to nothing, and the Pirates won four close games.
They won one game six to four, another three to two,
another five to two, and another ten to nine. So
they won four games that were closed. The Yankees won
three games that were blowouts, thereby giving the Yankees a
lot more runs, but not the same number, well fewer victories,
(37:42):
they lost the series. This is similarly to how districts
are drawn or how votes are tabulated in districts. It
doesn't matter how the whole state votes. What matters is
how a particular district votes. And if every district got
forty percent of the vote, they would have zero of
the representatives. I hate this talk of represent what is
(38:05):
it represented? Proportional representation.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
There we go. I don't like this. It's not unfair
to be against that.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
You have to have an actual candidate and an actual
district get enough votes to actually win.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's what you need. But they say that it's cheating.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
They say that by cutting towns college towns like West
Lafayette and Munsey in half, it's doing something immoral by
splitting gen Z's votes. They've referenced this being racial at
components saying in components because it says the regions which
(38:44):
look in Indiana. I didn't know this until I went
to college. I went to Butler, and I remember we
were introducing ourselves to the freshmen or maybe it was
the full team, and they would say say your name,
and where you're from, what position you play, something like that,
And there were a bunch of guys that were so,
and I'm so and so from the region. I had
no idea, I'm from central Indiana. I had no idea
(39:06):
small fly over country here, small town USA. I had
no idea what the region was. But it referenced a
part of northwest Indiana that's kind of the Chicago suburbs,
and then extending even a little bit further than that,
they refer to it as the region. I didn't know this,
but this says here that apparently, I guess the region
(39:29):
is entitled its own representative one representative, because it says
on this sheet put together by Mad Voters that by
splitting that area up, you're targeting black voters who make
up a significant portion of that district, which is the region.
There's not there's not a district called the region. There's
(39:50):
there are congressional districts that have numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
That's what they are in Indiana. This is preposterous, This
is this is soft. I'm looking for a reason.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Look, I understand if you say, look, we don't want
to change this midstream, we don't want this to be
politically motivated. Okay, let's say that. That's your position, but
there's others that. Okay, you can have that, but these
other things are crazy, if you ask me crazy. They
don't like that Indianapolis has been split again. Why is
(40:23):
Indianapolis entitled not to be split? If you look at
the problems we have in Indiana and you look at
the people who are running the city of Indianapolis, I'll
tell you what. The people in Indianapolis have created havoc
for the people who live outside Indianapolis who like to
go see the city. At some point, they're more of
the problem, those elected officials in Indianapolis than the solution. Anyway,
(40:47):
I gotta go, my friends, out of time here SDG
