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

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 two
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 is your conservative
but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, thank you so much for joining
me today. This is an absolute pleasure to be here
as we're now into Tuesday this redistricting fight. Listen. I know,
I know, if you're not from Indiana, this may just
hang in there. There are there's a lot at stake
nationally in this This is the political epicenter of the
(00:58):
country right now. Happens to be my state and we
are in the middle of this fight. As you know,
we spoke at the Turning Point action event on Friday
at the State House. I shared a little bit about
that yesterday. In fact, there's something I didn't intentionally leave out,
but I remembered after the program. I need to share
something else with you because it's something I've been updating
(01:19):
you about along the way, and that concerns my state
senator whose name is Rod Bray, leader in the Senate.
My friends, I have met him a couple of times.
He's my state senator, know many people that know him.
(01:40):
I have tried many times to communicate with Rod about this,
and I want to give you an update about something
I did Friday to once again try to get answers
from him, and unsuccessfully as you might imagine, So i'll
share that updates on this. And also Lara Logan is
(02:04):
out there saying something that again is not earth shattering,
but there's I just want to use what she's saying
about what's coming in twenty well after the twenty twenty
six midterms if we in Indiana do not organize to
fight back and use every legal and ethical tool at
(02:28):
our disposal. So there you go. That's where we're headed today,
my friends, coming at you here from the full Sweet
Wealth Studios, and it's again my pleasure to be here,
my friends. So let's face it, living with discomfort is tough,
and while prescription medications can certainly help, they often come
(02:51):
with a long list of side effects, not to mention
the risk of dependency. That's why more people are exploring
natural options like Kreatim from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. This is
a family run company. They do things the right way.
They work directly with Indonesian farmers. They lab test every
(03:12):
batch that they order so that there are no synthetics,
no chemicals, no surprises, just natural kreatim that's been used
for generations. Now, you undoubtedly have heard the headlines some
things about kretim, and you're wise to look into that
and to do some research. But my friends, you will
(03:33):
find that the problems that are out there come from
synthetic blends and contaminated junk that is sold by people
looking to make a quick buck, a quick dollar. Christopher's
keeps it real, keeps it clean, They keep you informed.
You can go to their website for more information to
(03:55):
do your own research about Kreatim Christophers Organic Botanicals dot com.
You can also start if you're ready to make a
purchase with their Kratim starter pack. Use my name Todd Huff.
You'll save ten percent off your purchase there Christopher's Organic
Botanicals dot com. Again, that's Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com.
(04:16):
True tradition, transparency, all right. So on Friday, I neglected
to tell you This wasn't intentional. I just forgot in
all the things that happen Friday between the hissing, the
hissing that I got from a person in the audience,
which again I still can't quite wrap my head around
(04:37):
that what has to be wrong with an individual? How
many things must be wrong with an individual who resorts
to hissing. I watched some of these videos online. From
time to time there's an evangelist that I'll follow a
couple of them. I'll watch some clips from Cliff Nektel,
I'll look for I'll watch some clips from the Abolitionist Movement,
(05:02):
and I watch some of these encounters that they have
from with people on the streets, and it's it's remarkable
to me. Now sometimes there's thoughtful opposition, at least for
people like Cliff Nektel. I have not seen, I have
not seen anyone who makes any sense whatsoever when they're
talking to the Abolitionist Rising movement, and that they say again,
(05:28):
they repeat the what the talking points of the day,
but there's nothing there. And that's man to be a
human being, to be a human being and to not
know why you think the things that you think. I
understand at some point where none of us know everything.
I'm not trying to set the bar at some ridiculously
(05:49):
high standard, but to be sure enough to say it's
okay to murder a baby in the womb when you
don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, but
yet you think you do because you continue to just
repeat the soundbites, the single line, you know, the statement
(06:12):
of the day, my body, my choice, that's the that's
the biggest one. But there's others as well. You go
on down the list, and you know these. This is
strategic from the left. It's one of the reasons why
public education is so terrible right now. By the way,
I went to our local school board meeting last night.
I don't do that. I haven't done that in a
(06:33):
long time. In fact, I don't know if i've been
since I stopped, you know, being a board member twenty
some years ago. But it was good to be back.
And we got some stuff here that I'm interested in,
at least some things that we're looking at doing as
as a family and so forth. So I've been following,
(06:54):
been following that. But the reason public education, one of
the reasons it's so terrible, is because cause it is
controlled by the left, and so you've heard it said.
You've probably heard it said anyway that education used to
teach us how to think. Now education teaches people or
tries to teach people what to think. That's why, you know,
(07:16):
some of the listen, I understand. There have to be standards.
There has to be some way to measure how effective
what we're doing in education is at helping our young
people have a better understanding of the world, understand truth
and reality, be able to think for themselves. I understand that,
And there has to be some standard because if you're
(07:37):
not teaching people, if people aren't learning in a classroom,
that means you're not teaching, and that means you're not
a teacher. At some point you do become a de
facto babysitter. I know, teacher. The good teachers will understand
that and get what I'm saying. The ones who are,
you know, just I don't know, in it for the
paycheck or don't want to talk substantively about the quality
(07:59):
of the world they're producing, they'll get upset about that.
I don't That's fine, get it. Add it to the
list of the people who scream me down at the
State House. I don't I don't care. I care about truth,
and I care about getting this nation back in the
direction it should it should be heading. And there's a
lot of problems on a lot of fronts. Education, of course,
is one of them. But there's there's a benefit that
(08:20):
comes from the left when they keep the population dumbed down.
The dumbed down population believes believes the things that they've
been told, believes the things that they've heard. It then
becomes a messaging a battle of messaging. Who's got the
slicker advertising campaign, who's got the easier to remember tagline
(08:43):
or slogan, And that's what it becomes in a lot
of instances. And that's where we are today. And so
I suppose, back to my friend who hissed at me
from the balcony of the State House rotunda here on Friday,
if you don't, I don't know why you believe what
you believe. You chant, You just chant the same word
(09:04):
over and over, or you go to a rally where
someone says something, hey, hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has
got to go. And that's the extent of your argument.
That's the beginning and the end of where many people
stand in their abilities to communicate, articulate think through the process.
(09:28):
But we need to cease to be a group or
a nation, a group of people who is teaching people
what to think. We need to teach people how to
think again. But see, independent thinkers are a risk, They're
a threat. I should say to the establishment. Freethinking people
can say, why are you doing this? Free thinking people
(09:50):
can say, how many years are you going to tell me?
If I vote for you're going to solve this problem?
And you never do? How many straw men political strawmen
in your campaigns? Am I going to subject myself to?
How many times am I going to let you get
away with this before I hold you accountable. That's where
we are today, and I'm still listen. I am looking.
(10:13):
I am looking for someone who can come on this
program or engage with me as an adult on social
media and tell me answer some of these basic questions.
How is redistricting cheating? Tell me how it is. Don't
put a link to the census and say, wow, there's
sixty percent Reprobably I'd registrated in Niana and there's forty
(10:35):
percent Democrats, So the legislative district should reflect that forty
percent of them should be Democrats, sixty percent of them
should be Republican. Why tell me, why tell me how
we're supposed to draw those? Tell me why we're supposed
to draw those? Articulate that? Where do you get that?
Where do you come up with this? We have a
representative a constitutional republic, a representative republic, a federal constitutional republic.
(11:02):
It's not there's no proportional representation given you have to
win the district that has been drawn. And it is
remarkable to me how many people say these things because
they've heard it repeated, probably incessantly, by some of these
leftist organizations. I've reached out to some of these folks.
(11:23):
Mad Voters is one of them. I reached out to them.
I don't expect to hear back. They like to talk
in talking points and that you can't do that during
a twenty or thirty minute interview on this program, I'm
gonna ask you, why tell me? Why tell me why
it violates the state constitution of Indiana. It does not.
In fact, I had an encounter yesterday with the belligerent
(11:47):
know it all on Facebook. She even deleted her comment
because she was proven absolutely wrong. This is what they do,
and they just they want to scream, and I guess
when you run out of things scream about, you resort
to hissing. And that's what I saw on Friday. So
that's what distracted me from telling you something else that
happened on Friday when we first went to the state House.
(12:09):
You'll remember my son I shared. My son went with me.
He took a video of the event, which we've posted
now on our YouTube channel and on our Facebook page.
Also shared it with our email newsletter subscribers, which I
highly encourage you to sign up for that is totally
free todd haveshow dot com. You can sign up and
(12:31):
get daily emails from us about things that we've talked
about here and sometimes some additional things as well. But
we've got to build a community and we've got to
build some engagement. This is time and listen, I know
that not everybody looks at this the same way. Some
people want to know what's going on here, perspectives move
(12:53):
on with life. But I know out there listening to
my voice right now is a core group of people
who you're the movers and shakers, your the leaders, You're
the ones that are wanting to see things get done,
not just hear the news from a you know, conservative
perspective and have some you know, some sort of you know,
just thinking about the issues and and really you know,
(13:14):
looking at this entertainment you know sort of way, which
is not bad. I'm not everybody's a little bit different,
but there are people out there that are part of
the core group that we're going to have to call
on and rally the troops if we're going to move
the needle here and actually see political victories for the Constitution,
for liberty, for the conservative movement. And it's probably gonna
(13:38):
happen through the Republican Party. As much as that aggravates
me at times, that's the only place that exists right
now for us to go that has any real chance
of winning politically. So, but while I was there at
the State House, you'll remember that my son went, as
I said, but there are also a couple of other ladies.
One of them, my sister in law, met us there,
(13:59):
so she was there. But there were a couple of
other ladies that I shared that went up with us
to the State House, and I asked them, I said,
would you guys like to go to Senators Senator Bray's
office we're up here on the second floor. The event
had just gotten started. I wasn't speaking until the end.
The whole reason we're there was to this push this
(14:21):
issue of redistricting and to let people know what this
is about, what's at stake, how we're in favor of
this happening and being done, How Republicans need to take
the kid gloves off and engage in a way so
that they win, so that they use whatever legal and
ethical tools that are at their disposal, using the political
(14:42):
power they have accumulated in the state over the past decades,
and actually put it to good use to make sure
that Indiana's voice is not deluded as I've gone through
in Washington, d C. Because states, some states are given
more representatives than they should have because we're counting illegal
alien Indiana's Democrat representatives when they go to Washington, DC,
(15:06):
they don't elect leadership, they don't endorse an agenda that
is in alignment with a large portion of Indiana's even Democrats,
certainly not most Hoosiers, but definitely not most Democrats. And
they have weaponized the government. Be prepared, and we'll get
into this in a moment later in the show. But
(15:26):
as Laura Logan points out, be prepared. There's going to
be I've talked about this already as well. They will
impeach Trump if they win both the House and the Senate.
That opens up the possibility that not only will he
be impeached, but can they get enough votes to remove
him from office. That is at least out there as
(15:47):
something that could happen. It certainly is strategically what they
want to do. This is why I've said on this
program for a long time. They've embraced the Democrat Party
has embraced what they call what I called the the
Seinfeld Newman's strategy, which again comes from an episode of
Seinfeld where Seinfeld told Newman, I'll do whatever it takes
(16:07):
as long as it takes me, so long as it
takes you away from me. That's the Democrats strategy when
it comes to Trump. They'll do whatever it takes as
long as it takes them, so long as it takes
Donald Trump or his agenda out of the out of
the position of power in our nation today. So we
walked over the ladies and I walked over to Rod
(16:29):
Bray's office there on the second floor of the State House.
We walked in. Now. Keep in mind, keep in mind
he's a leader of the Senate and Friday, he absolutely
knew that there would be this rally there. This was,
I mean, a turning point action event. This was well
publicized and well known. I asked for him at the
(16:53):
at the front desk and he wasn't in, And I said, oh,
he's not in. Is he in the building? No, he's
not in the building. Is he going to be here today? No,
he's not coming in. Folks, listen, it really bothers me
to say this to you. I am not This is
as authentic as I know how to be. It is
beyond disappointing to me that we have a representative who's
(17:16):
leading the Senate. I have a senator, he's my state
senator who refuses to engage with me and others like me.
We just have questions. I'm not going to attack the guy.
I'm going to ask him tough questions that I don't
think he has an answer to. I think that's why
he's running and hiding. But if he thinks, if he
thinks that this is over after the vote, especially if
(17:39):
he does not vote for this, which from what we
can tell, that's where he's going to end up. I mean,
I don't think there's any real chance he's going to
change his vote on this. But if he thinks that
this is over, I know he's not up for reelection
until twenty twenty eight. Turning Point USA has already been
on record is saying that they're going to work to
primary Republicans who vote against this. Turning point well, turning
(18:01):
point action, I should say, not Turning Point USA. It's
the five oh one C four arm, not the C
three arm. But if he thinks that he's just going
to avoid this, and you may have a state senator
like this too, or a representative. My representative voted against
the new map, Peggy Mayfield, if she listen, if they
(18:21):
think that this is over, that we're just going to
roll over this. This this is a critically important fight.
And why we would why would we? Why would we
as Republicans not take advantage of the legal tools available
to us given the total picture, And what I'm going
(18:42):
to do next segment, What I'm gonna next segment as
I'm actually going to share with you the speech that
I was planning to give from the State House rotunda floor.
It's only a few minutes I had to do. I
had to do it much more extemporaneously because there was
a lot of you know, people screaming and acting like
lunatics up there, trying to prevent people from hearing what
(19:04):
I had to say. That's Those aren't people that want
to engage in the free exchange of ideas. Those aren't
people who believe in American principles and policies, well, American principles,
I should say. They want to silence and shout out
the other side. It is designed to be an intimidation factor.
All it did for me was encourage me and fire
(19:25):
me up. That made me want to stand and speak
louder and more powerfully and more just effectively. That's all
it did. As they sit up there and hiss and
chant and everything else, hold their signs up that honestly,
I don't even know if half of them understood why
they were there. Some people have questioned to me, are
they getting paid? I wouldn't say that that's impossible either.
(19:50):
They certainly could just be people who are you know,
have positions where they have you know that they work
for the state or in education or something, and they
take days off often. Who knows, I don't know. All
I do know is that the opposition is not. What
was there at the State House is not. If I
(20:11):
was against this, I certainly wouldn't want those people speaking
for me. And right now those are the people that
are speaking for the opposition to new maps. Because the people,
the reasonable people who I think might have some good
questions and reasons to at least question this, they won't
speak up. They certainly won't talk to me. They won't
come on here. Senators like Rod Bray hide hide for
(20:34):
all he's worth, which is again, he's elected by the public.
I'm a constituent. He refuses to talk to me, but
he found time, my friends to speak with Politico. They
got a nice picture of him sitting at the desk there.
I don't know if he's posing for GQ or what,
but they've got it in Politico. That's in the stack
(20:54):
of stuff. If you want to take a look at it,
talk to anyone. But constituents say as little as possible,
not answer questions, think that this is just going to
blow over, telling you it's not, it's not going to happen.
We are not going to lie here any longer. We
and I speak for people who agree with me, which
includes a lot of you. We have watched this nation
(21:19):
fall apart because we have refused to well, Republicans have
refused to lead with lead with strength. They've capitulated and
given into the left. We've had enough. It's one of
the reasons why Trump is so appealing to people. It's
one of the reasons why people are willing to look
over overlook some of the things Trump, some of his
(21:41):
faults which we all have as human beings or just
you know, quirks or whatever. Style. People look past some
of those things because they so much believe that we
need a fighter. We need a fighter in this state House,
and it certainly is not Senator Rod Bray. I hope
he fixes fixes this and comes down on the right
side of this, because this isn't going away, my friends.
(22:02):
So timeouts in order, but really quickly, my friends. One
of the biggest challenges that we face as conservatives is
finding ways to ensure our values aligned with the things
that we do the way that we love our lives,
and that includes how we invest our money. I love
what the team at four eight Financial is doing. They
specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out
(22:23):
companies that don't align with our faith and our values,
so we're not funding things that go completely against what
we believe in. Plus, they do all the heavy lifting
for us, helping align investments with our purpose, with our goals.
The best part is they'll help you find out how
your current investments stack up against your values, how they
(22:43):
reflect your values, to what degree they reflect your values.
For eightfinancial dot com is where you can go to
take a quick assessment. I did it. It's quick and
easy for eight financial dot com slash todd for eight
financial because our money should work for our values. Quick
time out my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back,
(23:04):
my friends. Let me say this really quickly too. I
know that there are reports of people receiving death threats
or acts of violence and that sort of thing in
the Indiana State House. And this should not have to
be said. I don't care who, but I will say
it to make it abundantly clear to the people on
(23:26):
the left, people in the media, people on the conservative side.
I want to fight this with all my might. I
want to stand up for this the best that I can.
But in no way, shape, mannor form, is it acceptable
to threaten I mean, you can say I'm going to
support you if you vote for this, I'm going to
(23:48):
politically oppose you. That's fair. But to threaten somebody who
is in office with violence is one unaccepted, So that
needs to be clearly stated. I know the stakes are high,
I know the emotions are high, but that should never
be the way that people think about this. That's absolutely inexcusable.
(24:13):
And I one hundred percent, I one hundred percent I
am against that, no matter who the person is, whatever
their party. If people are threatening Democrats, if people are
threatening Republicans, if Republicans are doing the threatening, if Democrats
are doing the threatening, doesn't matter to me. That is
that has no place in a civil society. Again, there's
(24:37):
nothing wrong with saying, you know, I am going to
oppose people like turning Point Action did. They said they're
going to try to primary people who do not vote
for this. That's that's fair game. But to threaten somebody
with danger, violence, even worse, death threats, bomb threats, completely
and one hundred percent unacceptable. Condemned that with every fiber
(25:02):
of my being. So again, you don't it doesn't even
need to get to where we're threatening to challenge them electorally.
You can let them know if they support this, you're
going to support them, that's okay, and you know if
they if they don't. Where there are people that are prepared.
(25:24):
I'm prepared to do what I can to work with
people like I don't know, Heritage Action or Turning Point Action,
work with those of you here locally to do what
we can to get officials elected who understand what's at stake.
And that's what I want to talk about here in
this segment. I, as you know, I gave. I was
(25:49):
prepared to give these remarks on the State House floor,
but I had to change the game plan because of
the raucous environment, the channing. You couldn't I wouldn't have
had time. This speech, which would have taken I don't
know a few minutes, would have taken three times that
in that environment. So let me just tell you what
I was planning to say from the rotunda floor at
(26:11):
the State House on Friday that I wasn't allowed. Well,
I wasn't able to say because of the hecklers and
so forth. So here we go. This week, this rotunda
has been filled with a lot of noise, angry protests,
emotional outburst, superficial channing, and candidly a whole lot of
blind rage directed at you, at me, at Trump, of course,
(26:34):
and at anyone who doesn't fit the approved narrative of
the radical left. But I'm not here to lead a chant.
I'm here to appeal to your logic, your reason, and
your commitment to preserving this republic through what I call
this cold civil war we are enduring. Let's be blunt.
When Hoosiers send someone to Washington, we expect them to
(26:57):
represent common sense, personal liberty, fiscal response, ability, and the
belief that America is fundamentally good. But far too often,
when a Democrat is elected and sent to Washington, they
vote for leadership and an agenda radically out of step
with the people of Indiana, including many Democrats. Look at inflation.
(27:18):
Inflation isn't caused by corporate greed, or unions or anything else.
Inflation happens when the federal government, and only the federal government.
Thank you Milton Friedman for hammering this point home, creates
more money than the value of goods and services in
the marketplace. When they do, every dollar we earn is
worthless our savings, our paychecks, our retirement, our grocery budgets.
(27:41):
All of that is worthless. But why do they keep
doing it? Because the radical left belice government is the
solution to every single problem, and that belief produces the
reckless spending that fuels inflation. These are the same folks
who have given us open borders, which brings deadly drugs
and dangerous criminal illegal aliens in to our communities. They
(28:01):
brought men into women's sports. They've pushed a culture that
can't define basic biology. Their policies weaken families, burden Hoosier's
and by the way, all Americans and erode the liberty
government is supposed to protect. These folks cannot be stopped
unless we send people to Washington with both a brain
(28:21):
and a backbone. I was raised in a Hoosier Union
Democrat family. These old school Democrats love their country, value,
hard work, respect, faith, family, and capitalism. But those values
are nowhere. Hear me say it. They are nowhere in
today's Democrat party. Today's leadership is controlled by extremists who
(28:44):
want to remake America into something it was never intended
to be, and they will do whatever it takes as
long as it takes them, So long as it takes
Donald Trump out of the White House or stops him
from carrying out the agenda he was elected to accomplish.
These are the people who want higher taxes, more bureaucracy,
more government control over every aspect of our lives. They
(29:08):
love government, they worship government. They hate liberty, and that
brings us to redistricting. Redistricting is and always has been,
a political process. The Constitution gives that authority to the states,
specifically state legislatures. Districts must be contiguous and have roughly
equal populations. Beyond that, districts are up to the discretion
(29:30):
of each legislature. There is no sacred, God ordained shape
of a congressional district. There is no rule that says
Indianapolis gets special attention and special protection, strip away party labels,
and there is no moral argument that one map is
wholly and another is evil. The real question is simple,
which map best serves hoosiers and protects the sovereignty and
(29:54):
liberty of our state. We must also address something that
the activist channing in the rotunda will never mention. The
Biden administration shows to count illegal aliens in the twenty
twenty census, and those numbers were used to allocate representation.
This decision allows states with large illegal alien populations to
(30:17):
gain more political power, while states like Indiana can see
their representation diluted simply because we are not given excuse me,
simply because we are not a haven for illegal aliens.
This is not what the framers intended. The census was
designed to reflect the residents of a state, not whoever
happens to be within its borders on counting day. This matters,
(30:42):
and it should absolutely impact how we think about redistricting.
It blue states gained districts by counting illegal aliens. Should
Indiana not consider how that dilutes her voice in our
nation's capital. My friends, the era of Republicans fighting with
one hand tied behind our backs while Democrats fight with
both fists metaphorically, of course, is over, and it has
(31:05):
to be. We must use every legal, every ethical tool
available to protect Hoosia's from the radical left's destructive agenda.
Make no mistake if we do not redistrict, If our senators,
our state senators, do not vote for redistricting, you are
empowering the left to potentially win the US House in
(31:25):
twenty twenty six and unleash the havoc in Mayhem. I've
described previously. If our Senate fails to act, we will
hold them accountable. This moment matters. This is about Indiana's future,
This is about in America's future. Today must be a
line in the sand. Hoosias will not accept weakness, We
(31:46):
will not reward silence, and we will not tolerate surrender.
We expect our leaders to act boldly, decisively, and without apology,
and defense of hoos your values and the liberty that
makes this great. Indiana State Senators vote to approve this
new congressional map. Now that's what I was prepared to
(32:11):
say at the state House on Friday. Wasn't really given
the chance to because of the raucous environment, which was fine.
I candidly I much preferred that, and you know, calling
out some of the nonsense and the behavior of the lunatics.
They to me, were illustrating. This is why it's good
to let them speak. One of the reasons why free
(32:32):
speech is so great. Look at what they're saying. Look
at how empty the words are, look at how superficial,
look at how programmed they are, look at how there's
no ability to think or interact. They just repeat things
over and over and over, things that have cannot stand
the scrutiny of a single question, my friends, so I
preferred it. That's what I was going to do. Hopefully
that's helpful for those that still don't know why redistricting
(32:55):
is so important. Friends, as I get ready to take
a quick break here, let me ask you something. Would
you rather take two soft jails a day or spend
hours in your doctor's office talking about your cholesterol? I
know what I would choose, and I'm generally speaking. Friends
with my doctor sometimes can get all my nerves, but
that's always a good friend of mine from a long time.
(33:17):
But listen, I would rather take the soft jails as
not to say there's not a time to go to doctor.
That's a necessary and good thing. But salty is an
all natural, clinically proven dietary supplement that lowers your cholesterol.
No prescriptions, no doctor's visits, that's not even a drug.
All you have to do is take two salty soft
jails a day. That's all it takes to take care
of your heart health. Your family needs you healthy, your

All right. I had mentioned earlier in the program another
article that I had seen, and this is nothing, nothing new.
It's just other voices that are telling us exactly what
(35:13):
to expect if Democrats are able to win the election.
The midterm election coming up here in eleven months, So
Lara Logan, this is an article at life Zet. This
will be as most everything else we talk about here
is This will be linked on our Stack of Stuff
(35:37):
page on the website Todtushow dot com. Just go to
the stack and you'll see show notes, You'll see links
to articles, you'll see where you can listen to this program.
Each episode has its own Stack of Stuff. This will
be in there headline the deep State is preparing to
steal the midterms, Larah Logan. So, Larah Logan told Eric
(35:58):
Bowling that she believes political opponents are preparing a coordinated
plan to damage the administration ahead of the midterms and
set the conditions for an impeachment effort. She said she
does not think those opponents will wait multiple years to
move but instead are focused on the coming election cycle.
(36:18):
And by the way, whether she's right specifically here or not,
we do know in general that this this sort of
these sorts of conversations in strategic these sorts of strategicies
said as George W. Bush would have said, these are
the sorts of things that are happening being discussed behind
closed doors and so forth. It's why they are wailing
(36:41):
so loudly today at the state House here in Indiana
and anywhere else in Texas, anywhere else in Missouri, other
states that are looking to do something similar here. So,
she said, she does not think those opponents will wait
multiple years to move but instead are focused on the
coming elections cycle. She stated, No, I don't think that.
(37:04):
I don't think they're waiting three years. I think they're
waiting one year until the midterms. I think there's a
plan to steal her words, not mine the midterms, to
either take both the House. I have to say that
because of social media. Take the House or the Senates
or both, and then impeach him and he'll be gone,
because this time they will have both houses and they
(37:28):
will be able to get rid of him. And not
only will they be able to get rid of him,
you know why it's going to work this time, because
they're going to use his own behavior, in his own
his administration's own actions, or specifically their lack of action,
as the reason that he's going to be impeached. Listen,
it doesn't really matter they they will make up reasons
(37:49):
to impeach Trump. They've already got him, They've already talked
about him at the beginning of this term, that this
is their incessant They've already to their unhinged radical bay.
They've already created a persona of Trump that the left
is prepared no matter what rationale they give him. They're prepared.
They're on board to impeach Trump. The question is, first
(38:13):
of all, they've got to win the House to impeach him,
and they've got to win it by enough because who knows,
there might be there could be someone who doesn't go
along with it. That probably won't be the case. The
leadership would not allow that. Another reason why the way,
by the way, why Indiana Democrats going to Washington, d C.
(38:33):
Become radicals, no matter how moderate they tell us they
are in the general election in the primary process. But
nonetheless that is a possibility. It's a much bigger lift
in the Senate because it requires more than a simple
majority in the Senate. You've got to get I think
it's two thirds. I think you've got to get sixty
(38:56):
seven senators, which there may be some rep Republicans that
would join in so winning those things, winning the House
and the Senate moves them in that direction. Again, they
don't need any reason or rationale. This is the sort
of thing that needs to be stopped. Why should we
as Hoosiers be supportive of maps that send probably at
(39:19):
least two Democrats to Washington, d C. Who have shown
us that they have no regard for truth. They're prepared
to use whatever tools are necessary, not just legal and
ethical tools, but to engage in absolute law fare, which
is what they've done against President Trump. We've seen it
time and time and time and time and time again.
(39:41):
This has to be stopped. It's time for the adults
in the room to do what needs to be done
to ensure that the representation we send to Washington, d
C is not radicalized, is not supporting the radical agenda.
And drawing maps that favor the adults in the room
(40:01):
is certainly certainly a reasonable first step. And again I
find myself asking, you know, these folks in Indianapolis think
that they deserve to have a district all to itself.
Why why do they think that of all the places
in this state that are mismanaged, is there a place
that's more mismanaged than Indianapolis. I know there's good people there,
(40:21):
don't misunderstand me. There's just not enough people with brains
and backbones casting ballots to prevent the nonsense. It's happening
in our nations while our state's capital, I should say,
and so why should they get special protection when they're
the ones that are electing the lunatics that are making
situations worse in our city and in our state. Folks,
(40:43):
I'm out of time here. Thank you so much for listening.
Have a wonderful 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 two
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 is your conservative
but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, my friends, thank you so much for joining
me today. This is an absolute pleasure to be here
as we're now into Tuesday this redistricting fight. Listen. I know,
I know, if you're not from Indiana, this may just
hang in there. There are there's a lot at stake
nationally in this This is the political epicenter of the
(00:58):
country right now. Happens to be my state and we
are in the middle of this fight. As you know,
we spoke at the Turning Point action event on Friday
at the State House. I shared a little bit about
that yesterday. In fact, there's something I didn't intentionally leave out,
but I remembered after the program. I need to share
something else with you because it's something I've been updating
(01:19):
you about along the way, and that concerns my state
senator whose name is Rod Bray, leader in the Senate.
My friends, I have met him a couple of times.
He's my state senator, know many people that know him.
(01:40):
I have tried many times to communicate with Rod about this,
and I want to give you an update about something
I did Friday to once again try to get answers
from him, and unsuccessfully as you might imagine, So i'll
share that updates on this. And also Lara Logan is
(02:04):
out there saying something that again is not earth shattering,
but there's I just want to use what she's saying
about what's coming in twenty well after the twenty twenty
six midterms if we in Indiana do not organize to
fight back and use every legal and ethical tool at
(02:28):
our disposal. So there you go. That's where we're headed today,
my friends, coming at you here from the full Sweet
Wealth Studios, and it's again my pleasure to be here,
my friends. So let's face it, living with discomfort is tough,
and while prescription medications can certainly help, they often come
(02:51):
with a long list of side effects, not to mention
the risk of dependency. That's why more people are exploring
natural options like Kreatim from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. This is
a family run company. They do things the right way.
They work directly with Indonesian farmers. They lab test every
(03:12):
batch that they order so that there are no synthetics,
no chemicals, no surprises, just natural kreatim that's been used
for generations. Now, you undoubtedly have heard the headlines some
things about kretim, and you're wise to look into that
and to do some research. But my friends, you will
(03:33):
find that the problems that are out there come from
synthetic blends and contaminated junk that is sold by people
looking to make a quick buck, a quick dollar. Christopher's
keeps it real, keeps it clean, They keep you informed.
You can go to their website for more information to
(03:55):
do your own research about Kreatim Christophers Organic Botanicals dot com.
You can also start if you're ready to make a
purchase with their Kratim starter pack. Use my name Todd Huff.
You'll save ten percent off your purchase there Christopher's Organic
Botanicals dot com. Again, that's Christopher's Organic Botanicals dot com.
(04:16):
True tradition, transparency, all right. So on Friday, I neglected
to tell you This wasn't intentional. I just forgot in
all the things that happen Friday between the hissing, the
hissing that I got from a person in the audience,
which again I still can't quite wrap my head around
(04:37):
that what has to be wrong with an individual? How
many things must be wrong with an individual who resorts
to hissing. I watched some of these videos online. From
time to time there's an evangelist that I'll follow a
couple of them. I'll watch some clips from Cliff Nektel,
I'll look for I'll watch some clips from the Abolitionist Movement,
(05:02):
and I watch some of these encounters that they have
from with people on the streets, and it's it's remarkable
to me. Now sometimes there's thoughtful opposition, at least for
people like Cliff Nektel. I have not seen, I have
not seen anyone who makes any sense whatsoever when they're
talking to the Abolitionist Rising movement, and that they say again,
(05:28):
they repeat the what the talking points of the day,
but there's nothing there. And that's man to be a
human being, to be a human being and to not
know why you think the things that you think. I
understand at some point where none of us know everything.
I'm not trying to set the bar at some ridiculously
(05:49):
high standard, but to be sure enough to say it's
okay to murder a baby in the womb when you
don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, but
yet you think you do because you continue to just
repeat the soundbites, the single line, you know, the statement
(06:12):
of the day, my body, my choice, that's the that's
the biggest one. But there's others as well. You go
on down the list, and you know these. This is
strategic from the left. It's one of the reasons why
public education is so terrible right now. By the way,
I went to our local school board meeting last night.
I don't do that. I haven't done that in a
(06:33):
long time. In fact, I don't know if i've been
since I stopped, you know, being a board member twenty
some years ago. But it was good to be back.
And we got some stuff here that I'm interested in,
at least some things that we're looking at doing as
as a family and so forth. So I've been following,
(06:54):
been following that. But the reason public education, one of
the reasons it's so terrible, is because cause it is
controlled by the left, and so you've heard it said.
You've probably heard it said anyway that education used to
teach us how to think. Now education teaches people or
tries to teach people what to think. That's why, you know,
(07:16):
some of the listen, I understand. There have to be standards.
There has to be some way to measure how effective
what we're doing in education is at helping our young
people have a better understanding of the world, understand truth
and reality, be able to think for themselves. I understand that,
And there has to be some standard because if you're
(07:37):
not teaching people, if people aren't learning in a classroom,
that means you're not teaching, and that means you're not
a teacher. At some point you do become a de
facto babysitter. I know, teacher. The good teachers will understand
that and get what I'm saying. The ones who are,
you know, just I don't know, in it for the
paycheck or don't want to talk substantively about the quality
(07:59):
of the world they're producing, they'll get upset about that.
I don't That's fine, get it. Add it to the
list of the people who scream me down at the
State House. I don't I don't care. I care about truth,
and I care about getting this nation back in the
direction it should it should be heading. And there's a
lot of problems on a lot of fronts. Education, of course,
is one of them. But there's there's a benefit that
(08:20):
comes from the left when they keep the population dumbed down.
The dumbed down population believes believes the things that they've
been told, believes the things that they've heard. It then
becomes a messaging a battle of messaging. Who's got the
slicker advertising campaign, who's got the easier to remember tagline
(08:43):
or slogan, And that's what it becomes in a lot
of instances. And that's where we are today. And so
I suppose, back to my friend who hissed at me
from the balcony of the State House rotunda here on Friday,
if you don't, I don't know why you believe what
you believe. You chant, You just chant the same word
(09:04):
over and over, or you go to a rally where
someone says something, hey, hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has
got to go. And that's the extent of your argument.
That's the beginning and the end of where many people
stand in their abilities to communicate, articulate think through the process.
(09:28):
But we need to cease to be a group or
a nation, a group of people who is teaching people
what to think. We need to teach people how to
think again. But see, independent thinkers are a risk, They're
a threat. I should say to the establishment. Freethinking people
can say, why are you doing this? Free thinking people
(09:50):
can say, how many years are you going to tell me?
If I vote for you're going to solve this problem?
And you never do? How many straw men political strawmen
in your campaigns? Am I going to subject myself to?
How many times am I going to let you get
away with this before I hold you accountable. That's where
we are today, and I'm still listen. I am looking.
(10:13):
I am looking for someone who can come on this
program or engage with me as an adult on social
media and tell me answer some of these basic questions.
How is redistricting cheating? Tell me how it is. Don't
put a link to the census and say, wow, there's
sixty percent Reprobably I'd registrated in Niana and there's forty
(10:35):
percent Democrats, So the legislative district should reflect that forty
percent of them should be Democrats, sixty percent of them
should be Republican. Why tell me, why tell me how
we're supposed to draw those? Tell me why we're supposed
to draw those? Articulate that? Where do you get that?
Where do you come up with this? We have a
representative a constitutional republic, a representative republic, a federal constitutional republic.
(11:02):
It's not there's no proportional representation given you have to
win the district that has been drawn. And it is
remarkable to me how many people say these things because
they've heard it repeated, probably incessantly, by some of these
leftist organizations. I've reached out to some of these folks.
(11:23):
Mad Voters is one of them. I reached out to them.
I don't expect to hear back. They like to talk
in talking points and that you can't do that during
a twenty or thirty minute interview on this program, I'm
gonna ask you, why tell me? Why tell me why
it violates the state constitution of Indiana. It does not.
In fact, I had an encounter yesterday with the belligerent
(11:47):
know it all on Facebook. She even deleted her comment
because she was proven absolutely wrong. This is what they do,
and they just they want to scream, and I guess
when you run out of things scream about, you resort
to hissing. And that's what I saw on Friday. So
that's what distracted me from telling you something else that
happened on Friday when we first went to the state House.
(12:09):
You'll remember my son I shared. My son went with me.
He took a video of the event, which we've posted
now on our YouTube channel and on our Facebook page.
Also shared it with our email newsletter subscribers, which I
highly encourage you to sign up for that is totally
free todd haveshow dot com. You can sign up and
(12:31):
get daily emails from us about things that we've talked
about here and sometimes some additional things as well. But
we've got to build a community and we've got to
build some engagement. This is time and listen, I know
that not everybody looks at this the same way. Some
people want to know what's going on here, perspectives move
(12:53):
on with life. But I know out there listening to
my voice right now is a core group of people
who you're the movers and shakers, your the leaders, You're
the ones that are wanting to see things get done,
not just hear the news from a you know, conservative
perspective and have some you know, some sort of you know,
just thinking about the issues and and really you know,
(13:14):
looking at this entertainment you know sort of way, which
is not bad. I'm not everybody's a little bit different,
but there are people out there that are part of
the core group that we're going to have to call
on and rally the troops if we're going to move
the needle here and actually see political victories for the Constitution,
for liberty, for the conservative movement. And it's probably gonna
(13:38):
happen through the Republican Party. As much as that aggravates
me at times, that's the only place that exists right
now for us to go that has any real chance
of winning politically. So, but while I was there at
the State House, you'll remember that my son went, as
I said, but there are also a couple of other ladies.
One of them, my sister in law, met us there,
(13:59):
so she was there. But there were a couple of
other ladies that I shared that went up with us
to the State House, and I asked them, I said,
would you guys like to go to Senators Senator Bray's
office we're up here on the second floor. The event
had just gotten started. I wasn't speaking until the end.
The whole reason we're there was to this push this
(14:21):
issue of redistricting and to let people know what this
is about, what's at stake, how we're in favor of
this happening and being done, How Republicans need to take
the kid gloves off and engage in a way so
that they win, so that they use whatever legal and
ethical tools that are at their disposal, using the political
(14:42):
power they have accumulated in the state over the past decades,
and actually put it to good use to make sure
that Indiana's voice is not deluded as I've gone through
in Washington, d C. Because states, some states are given
more representatives than they should have because we're counting illegal
alien Indiana's Democrat representatives when they go to Washington, DC,
(15:06):
they don't elect leadership, they don't endorse an agenda that
is in alignment with a large portion of Indiana's even Democrats,
certainly not most Hoosiers, but definitely not most Democrats. And
they have weaponized the government. Be prepared, and we'll get
into this in a moment later in the show. But
(15:26):
as Laura Logan points out, be prepared. There's going to
be I've talked about this already as well. They will
impeach Trump if they win both the House and the Senate.
That opens up the possibility that not only will he
be impeached, but can they get enough votes to remove
him from office. That is at least out there as
(15:47):
something that could happen. It certainly is strategically what they
want to do. This is why I've said on this
program for a long time. They've embraced the Democrat Party
has embraced what they call what I called the the
Seinfeld Newman's strategy, which again comes from an episode of
Seinfeld where Seinfeld told Newman, I'll do whatever it takes
(16:07):
as long as it takes me, so long as it
takes you away from me. That's the Democrats strategy when
it comes to Trump. They'll do whatever it takes as
long as it takes them, so long as it takes
Donald Trump or his agenda out of the out of
the position of power in our nation today. So we
walked over the ladies and I walked over to Rod
(16:29):
Bray's office there on the second floor of the State House.
We walked in. Now. Keep in mind, keep in mind
he's a leader of the Senate and Friday, he absolutely
knew that there would be this rally there. This was,
I mean, a turning point action event. This was well
publicized and well known. I asked for him at the
(16:53):
at the front desk and he wasn't in, And I said, oh,
he's not in. Is he in the building? No, he's
not in the building. Is he going to be here today? No,
he's not coming in. Folks, listen, it really bothers me
to say this to you. I am not This is
as authentic as I know how to be. It is
beyond disappointing to me that we have a representative who's
(17:16):
leading the Senate. I have a senator, he's my state
senator who refuses to engage with me and others like me.
We just have questions. I'm not going to attack the guy.
I'm going to ask him tough questions that I don't
think he has an answer to. I think that's why
he's running and hiding. But if he thinks, if he
thinks that this is over after the vote, especially if
(17:39):
he does not vote for this, which from what we
can tell, that's where he's going to end up. I mean,
I don't think there's any real chance he's going to
change his vote on this. But if he thinks that
this is over, I know he's not up for reelection
until twenty twenty eight. Turning Point USA has already been
on record is saying that they're going to work to
primary Republicans who vote against this. Turning point well, turning
(18:01):
point action, I should say, not Turning Point USA. It's
the five oh one C four arm, not the C
three arm. But if he thinks that he's just going
to avoid this, and you may have a state senator
like this too, or a representative. My representative voted against
the new map, Peggy Mayfield, if she listen, if they
(18:21):
think that this is over, that we're just going to
roll over this. This this is a critically important fight.
And why we would why would we? Why would we
as Republicans not take advantage of the legal tools available
to us given the total picture, And what I'm going
(18:42):
to do next segment, What I'm gonna next segment as
I'm actually going to share with you the speech that
I was planning to give from the State House rotunda floor.
It's only a few minutes I had to do. I
had to do it much more extemporaneously because there was
a lot of you know, people screaming and acting like
lunatics up there, trying to prevent people from hearing what
(19:04):
I had to say. That's Those aren't people that want
to engage in the free exchange of ideas. Those aren't
people who believe in American principles and policies, well, American principles,
I should say. They want to silence and shout out
the other side. It is designed to be an intimidation factor.
All it did for me was encourage me and fire
(19:25):
me up. That made me want to stand and speak
louder and more powerfully and more just effectively. That's all
it did. As they sit up there and hiss and
chant and everything else, hold their signs up that honestly,
I don't even know if half of them understood why
they were there. Some people have questioned to me, are
they getting paid? I wouldn't say that that's impossible either.
(19:50):
They certainly could just be people who are you know,
have positions where they have you know that they work
for the state or in education or something, and they
take days off often. Who knows, I don't know. All
I do know is that the opposition is not. What
was there at the State House is not. If I
(20:11):
was against this, I certainly wouldn't want those people speaking
for me. And right now those are the people that
are speaking for the opposition to new maps. Because the people,
the reasonable people who I think might have some good
questions and reasons to at least question this, they won't
speak up. They certainly won't talk to me. They won't
come on here. Senators like Rod Bray hide hide for
(20:34):
all he's worth, which is again, he's elected by the public.
I'm a constituent. He refuses to talk to me, but
he found time, my friends to speak with Politico. They
got a nice picture of him sitting at the desk there.
I don't know if he's posing for GQ or what,
but they've got it in Politico. That's in the stack
(20:54):
of stuff. If you want to take a look at it,
talk to anyone. But constituents say as little as possible,
not answer questions, think that this is just going to
blow over, telling you it's not, it's not going to happen.
We are not going to lie here any longer. We
and I speak for people who agree with me, which
includes a lot of you. We have watched this nation
(21:19):
fall apart because we have refused to well, Republicans have
refused to lead with lead with strength. They've capitulated and
given into the left. We've had enough. It's one of
the reasons why Trump is so appealing to people. It's
one of the reasons why people are willing to look
over overlook some of the things Trump, some of his
(21:41):
faults which we all have as human beings or just
you know, quirks or whatever. Style. People look past some
of those things because they so much believe that we
need a fighter. We need a fighter in this state House,
and it certainly is not Senator Rod Bray. I hope
he fixes fixes this and comes down on the right
side of this, because this isn't going away, my friends.
(22:02):
So timeouts in order, but really quickly, my friends. One
of the biggest challenges that we face as conservatives is
finding ways to ensure our values aligned with the things
that we do the way that we love our lives,
and that includes how we invest our money. I love
what the team at four eight Financial is doing. They
specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out
(22:23):
companies that don't align with our faith and our values,
so we're not funding things that go completely against what
we believe in. Plus, they do all the heavy lifting
for us, helping align investments with our purpose, with our goals.
The best part is they'll help you find out how
your current investments stack up against your values, how they
(22:43):
reflect your values, to what degree they reflect your values.
For eightfinancial dot com is where you can go to
take a quick assessment. I did it. It's quick and
easy for eight financial dot com slash todd for eight
financial because our money should work for our values. Quick
time out my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back,
(23:04):
my friends. Let me say this really quickly too. I
know that there are reports of people receiving death threats
or acts of violence and that sort of thing in
the Indiana State House. And this should not have to
be said. I don't care who, but I will say
it to make it abundantly clear to the people on
(23:26):
the left, people in the media, people on the conservative side.
I want to fight this with all my might. I
want to stand up for this the best that I can.
But in no way, shape, mannor form, is it acceptable
to threaten I mean, you can say I'm going to
support you if you vote for this, I'm going to
(23:48):
politically oppose you. That's fair. But to threaten somebody who
is in office with violence is one unaccepted, So that
needs to be clearly stated. I know the stakes are high,
I know the emotions are high, but that should never
be the way that people think about this. That's absolutely inexcusable.
(24:13):
And I one hundred percent, I one hundred percent I
am against that, no matter who the person is, whatever
their party. If people are threatening Democrats, if people are
threatening Republicans, if Republicans are doing the threatening, if Democrats
are doing the threatening, doesn't matter to me. That is
that has no place in a civil society. Again, there's
(24:37):
nothing wrong with saying, you know, I am going to
oppose people like turning Point Action did. They said they're
going to try to primary people who do not vote
for this. That's that's fair game. But to threaten somebody
with danger, violence, even worse, death threats, bomb threats, completely
and one hundred percent unacceptable. Condemned that with every fiber
(25:02):
of my being. So again, you don't it doesn't even
need to get to where we're threatening to challenge them electorally.
You can let them know if they support this, you're
going to support them, that's okay, and you know if
they if they don't. Where there are people that are prepared.
(25:24):
I'm prepared to do what I can to work with
people like I don't know, Heritage Action or Turning Point Action,
work with those of you here locally to do what
we can to get officials elected who understand what's at stake.
And that's what I want to talk about here in
this segment. I, as you know, I gave. I was
(25:49):
prepared to give these remarks on the State House floor,
but I had to change the game plan because of
the raucous environment, the channing. You couldn't I wouldn't have
had time. This speech, which would have taken I don't
know a few minutes, would have taken three times that
in that environment. So let me just tell you what
I was planning to say from the rotunda floor at
(26:11):
the State House on Friday that I wasn't allowed. Well,
I wasn't able to say because of the hecklers and
so forth. So here we go. This week, this rotunda
has been filled with a lot of noise, angry protests,
emotional outburst, superficial channing, and candidly a whole lot of
blind rage directed at you, at me, at Trump, of course,
(26:34):
and at anyone who doesn't fit the approved narrative of
the radical left. But I'm not here to lead a chant.
I'm here to appeal to your logic, your reason, and
your commitment to preserving this republic through what I call
this cold civil war we are enduring. Let's be blunt.
When Hoosiers send someone to Washington, we expect them to
(26:57):
represent common sense, personal liberty, fiscal response, ability, and the
belief that America is fundamentally good. But far too often,
when a Democrat is elected and sent to Washington, they
vote for leadership and an agenda radically out of step
with the people of Indiana, including many Democrats. Look at inflation.
(27:18):
Inflation isn't caused by corporate greed, or unions or anything else.
Inflation happens when the federal government, and only the federal government.
Thank you Milton Friedman for hammering this point home, creates
more money than the value of goods and services in
the marketplace. When they do, every dollar we earn is
worthless our savings, our paychecks, our retirement, our grocery budgets.
(27:41):
All of that is worthless. But why do they keep
doing it? Because the radical left belice government is the
solution to every single problem, and that belief produces the
reckless spending that fuels inflation. These are the same folks
who have given us open borders, which brings deadly drugs
and dangerous criminal illegal aliens in to our communities. They
(28:01):
brought men into women's sports. They've pushed a culture that
can't define basic biology. Their policies weaken families, burden Hoosier's
and by the way, all Americans and erode the liberty
government is supposed to protect. These folks cannot be stopped
unless we send people to Washington with both a brain
(28:21):
and a backbone. I was raised in a Hoosier Union
Democrat family. These old school Democrats love their country, value,
hard work, respect, faith, family, and capitalism. But those values
are nowhere. Hear me say it. They are nowhere in
today's Democrat party. Today's leadership is controlled by extremists who
(28:44):
want to remake America into something it was never intended
to be, and they will do whatever it takes as
long as it takes them, So long as it takes
Donald Trump out of the White House or stops him
from carrying out the agenda he was elected to accomplish.
These are the people who want higher taxes, more bureaucracy,
more government control over every aspect of our lives. They
(29:08):
love government, they worship government. They hate liberty, and that
brings us to redistricting. Redistricting is and always has been,
a political process. The Constitution gives that authority to the states,
specifically state legislatures. Districts must be contiguous and have roughly
equal populations. Beyond that, districts are up to the discretion
(29:30):
of each legislature. There is no sacred, God ordained shape
of a congressional district. There is no rule that says
Indianapolis gets special attention and special protection, strip away party labels,
and there is no moral argument that one map is
wholly and another is evil. The real question is simple,
which map best serves hoosiers and protects the sovereignty and
(29:54):
liberty of our state. We must also address something that
the activist channing in the rotunda will never mention. The
Biden administration shows to count illegal aliens in the twenty
twenty census, and those numbers were used to allocate representation.
This decision allows states with large illegal alien populations to
(30:17):
gain more political power, while states like Indiana can see
their representation diluted simply because we are not given excuse me,
simply because we are not a haven for illegal aliens.
This is not what the framers intended. The census was
designed to reflect the residents of a state, not whoever
happens to be within its borders on counting day. This matters,
(30:42):
and it should absolutely impact how we think about redistricting.
It blue states gained districts by counting illegal aliens. Should
Indiana not consider how that dilutes her voice in our
nation's capital. My friends, the era of Republicans fighting with
one hand tied behind our backs while Democrats fight with
both fists metaphorically, of course, is over, and it has
(31:05):
to be. We must use every legal, every ethical tool
available to protect Hoosia's from the radical left's destructive agenda.
Make no mistake if we do not redistrict, If our senators,
our state senators, do not vote for redistricting, you are
empowering the left to potentially win the US House in
(31:25):
twenty twenty six and unleash the havoc in Mayhem. I've
described previously. If our Senate fails to act, we will
hold them accountable. This moment matters. This is about Indiana's future,
This is about in America's future. Today must be a
line in the sand. Hoosias will not accept weakness, We
(31:46):
will not reward silence, and we will not tolerate surrender.
We expect our leaders to act boldly, decisively, and without apology,
and defense of hoos your values and the liberty that
makes this great. Indiana State Senators vote to approve this
new congressional map. Now that's what I was prepared to
(32:11):
say at the state House on Friday. Wasn't really given
the chance to because of the raucous environment, which was fine.
I candidly I much preferred that, and you know, calling
out some of the nonsense and the behavior of the lunatics.
They to me, were illustrating. This is why it's good
to let them speak. One of the reasons why free
(32:32):
speech is so great. Look at what they're saying. Look
at how empty the words are, look at how superficial,
look at how programmed they are, look at how there's
no ability to think or interact. They just repeat things
over and over and over, things that have cannot stand
the scrutiny of a single question, my friends, so I
preferred it. That's what I was going to do. Hopefully
that's helpful for those that still don't know why redistricting
(32:55):
is so important. Friends, as I get ready to take
a quick break here, let me ask you something. Would
you rather take two soft jails a day or spend
hours in your doctor's office talking about your cholesterol? I
know what I would choose, and I'm generally speaking. Friends
with my doctor sometimes can get all my nerves, but
that's always a good friend of mine from a long time.
(33:17):
But listen, I would rather take the soft jails as
not to say there's not a time to go to doctor.
That's a necessary and good thing. But salty is an
all natural, clinically proven dietary supplement that lowers your cholesterol.
No prescriptions, no doctor's visits, that's not even a drug.
All you have to do is take two salty soft
jails a day. That's all it takes to take care
of your heart health. Your family needs you healthy, your

All right. I had mentioned earlier in the program another
article that I had seen, and this is nothing, nothing new.
It's just other voices that are telling us exactly what
(35:13):
to expect if Democrats are able to win the election.
The midterm election coming up here in eleven months, So
Lara Logan, this is an article at life Zet. This
will be as most everything else we talk about here
is This will be linked on our Stack of Stuff
(35:37):
page on the website Todtushow dot com. Just go to
the stack and you'll see show notes, You'll see links
to articles, you'll see where you can listen to this program.
Each episode has its own Stack of Stuff. This will
be in there headline the deep State is preparing to
steal the midterms, Larah Logan. So, Larah Logan told Eric
(35:58):
Bowling that she believes political opponents are preparing a coordinated
plan to damage the administration ahead of the midterms and
set the conditions for an impeachment effort. She said she
does not think those opponents will wait multiple years to
move but instead are focused on the coming election cycle.
(36:18):
And by the way, whether she's right specifically here or not,
we do know in general that this this sort of
these sorts of conversations in strategic these sorts of strategicies
said as George W. Bush would have said, these are
the sorts of things that are happening being discussed behind
closed doors and so forth. It's why they are wailing
(36:41):
so loudly today at the state House here in Indiana
and anywhere else in Texas, anywhere else in Missouri, other
states that are looking to do something similar here. So,
she said, she does not think those opponents will wait
multiple years to move but instead are focused on the
coming elections cycle. She stated, No, I don't think that.
(37:04):
I don't think they're waiting three years. I think they're
waiting one year until the midterms. I think there's a
plan to steal her words, not mine the midterms, to
either take both the House. I have to say that
because of social media. Take the House or the Senates
or both, and then impeach him and he'll be gone,
because this time they will have both houses and they
(37:28):
will be able to get rid of him. And not
only will they be able to get rid of him,
you know why it's going to work this time, because
they're going to use his own behavior, in his own
his administration's own actions, or specifically their lack of action,
as the reason that he's going to be impeached. Listen,
it doesn't really matter they they will make up reasons
(37:49):
to impeach Trump. They've already got him, They've already talked
about him at the beginning of this term, that this
is their incessant They've already to their unhinged radical bay.
They've already created a persona of Trump that the left
is prepared no matter what rationale they give him. They're prepared.
They're on board to impeach Trump. The question is, first
(38:13):
of all, they've got to win the House to impeach him,
and they've got to win it by enough because who knows,
there might be there could be someone who doesn't go
along with it. That probably won't be the case. The
leadership would not allow that. Another reason why the way,
by the way, why Indiana Democrats going to Washington, d C.
(38:33):
Become radicals, no matter how moderate they tell us they
are in the general election in the primary process. But
nonetheless that is a possibility. It's a much bigger lift
in the Senate because it requires more than a simple
majority in the Senate. You've got to get I think
it's two thirds. I think you've got to get sixty
(38:56):
seven senators, which there may be some rep Republicans that
would join in so winning those things, winning the House
and the Senate moves them in that direction. Again, they
don't need any reason or rationale. This is the sort
of thing that needs to be stopped. Why should we
as Hoosiers be supportive of maps that send probably at
(39:19):
least two Democrats to Washington, d C. Who have shown
us that they have no regard for truth. They're prepared
to use whatever tools are necessary, not just legal and
ethical tools, but to engage in absolute law fare, which
is what they've done against President Trump. We've seen it
time and time and time and time and time again.
(39:41):
This has to be stopped. It's time for the adults
in the room to do what needs to be done
to ensure that the representation we send to Washington, d
C is not radicalized, is not supporting the radical agenda.
And drawing maps that favor the adults in the room
(40:01):
is certainly certainly a reasonable first step. And again I
find myself asking, you know, these folks in Indianapolis think
that they deserve to have a district all to itself.
Why why do they think that of all the places
in this state that are mismanaged, is there a place
that's more mismanaged than Indianapolis. I know there's good people there,
(40:21):
don't misunderstand me. There's just not enough people with brains
and backbones casting ballots to prevent the nonsense. It's happening
in our nations while our state's capital, I should say,
and so why should they get special protection when they're
the ones that are electing the lunatics that are making
situations worse in our city and in our state. Folks,
(40:43):
I'm out of time here. Thank you so much for listening.
Have a wonderful day. SDG

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.

But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
