The Todd Huff Show

Todd returns to the Lindsay Clancy mistrial after three jurors publicly criticized the lone holdout who refused to find her not criminally responsible for killing her children. Drawing on his own experience serving on a jury, he defends the role of independent judgment, reasonable doubt, and unanimous verdicts while questioning the foreperson's apparent rush to complete acquittal forms. Todd argue...

Todd examines the mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case and the lone juror who reportedly refused to join the other eleven in supporting an acquittal based on lack of criminal responsibility. He challenges the defense attorney's public criticism of that holdout, explains the role of reasonable doubt and personal accountability, and warns about a reported Illinois case involving a mother who had foll...

On Q&A Friday, Todd answers a listener who asks how he evaluates conspiracy claims while rejecting the idea that 9/11 was an inside job. He explains the difference between healthy skepticism and reflexively rejecting the most probable account, recalls his experience on September 11, 2001, and argues that evidence of government failure, secrecy, or incompetence does not by itself prove orchestr...

Todd examines Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's claim that capitalism, white supremacy, and climate change are linked oppressive systems that must be dismantled. He contrasts that worldview with free enterprise, voluntary exchange, property rights, innovation, and the biblical calling to create and build, arguing that socialism—not capitalism—uses government power to take freedom and the fru...

Todd examines the facts the Lindsay Clancy defense has acknowledged while the jury reports an impasse: Clancy killed her three children, and the disputed question is whether mental disease or defect removed her criminal responsibility. He explains the defense’s stipulations, opening and closing arguments, the five choices on the verdict form, and why presumed innocence does not mean the defense ar...

Todd examines America’s growing addiction to conspiracy theories through the Lindsay Clancy case, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the approaching 25th anniversary of September 11. He argues that distrust of government, media, and powerful institutions can be justified without treating every tragedy as an elaborate cover-up. Todd explores how personal experience, true-crime culture, pride, c...

Todd returns from vacation to examine the WNBA’s refusal to define what a woman is while declaring Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White ineligible for its draft. He argues that their challenge exposes a broader cultural unwillingness to acknowledge biological reality, the meaning of words, and the moral foundations required for liberty. Todd then turns to the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the defens...

On Q&A Friday, Todd examines why socialism and communism are gaining appeal among younger Americans despite their devastating historical record. Using an Armstrong Williams column as a springboard, he considers how distance from the Cold War, financial crises, student debt, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and disappointment with institutions shape the next generation’s outlook. Todd argu...

Guest host and syndicated cartoonist Gary Varvel examines the Democratic Party’s embrace of democratic socialism, Anthony Fauci and the Wuhan lab-leak controversy, and the historical alliance between Marxists and Islamists during Iran’s 1979 revolution. He argues that today’s progressive-Islamist coalition is united by opposition to Western civilization despite deep internal contradictions. Turnin...

Guest host and syndicated cartoonist Gary Varvel uses recent cartoons to examine Iran, democratic socialism, the WNBA's debate over biological sex, rent control, abortion, and efforts by political leaders to distance themselves from earlier progressive positions. Turning from satire to Scripture, Gary discusses immigration and divided loyalties, the rise of antisemitism after October 7, the Abraha...

Guest host Krish Dunham uses the image of a three-ring circus to examine how fringe democratic-socialist ideas can move from the edges of a political party to its center. He argues that promises of free services, high taxation, weakened policing, open borders, and government control ignore the historical failures of socialism and communism. Drawing on American history, travel behind the former Iro...

Guest host Krish Dunham examines what he calls the left's "lariat of lunacy"—a set of ideas he argues have lassoed common sense in American politics. Drawing on his experience as a first-generation legal immigrant, educator, and student of American history, Krish discusses the nation's Judeo-Christian heritage, Benjamin Franklin's call for prayer at the Constitutional Convention, defunding police,...

On Q&A Friday, Todd asks why socialism and communism appeal to many young Americans despite the historical record of the Soviet Union, Maoist China, Cambodia, North Korea, and other communist regimes. He explains how distance from the Cold War, financial crises, college debt, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and distrust of institutions make sweeping promises of equality and fairness attr...

Todd examines the case of gestational surrogate McKenna West, who refused an abortion after the unborn child was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He considers the conflict among contractual obligations, bodily autonomy, parental authority, medical care, and the right to life, arguing that the child's birth exposes the moral stakes hidden by abstract abortion arguments. Todd then con...

Todd examines former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran's admission that the network is a liberal institution with little viewpoint diversity. He explains how ideological uniformity in journalism schools and newsrooms shapes coverage, treats conservatives as adversaries, and turns supposedly neutral reporting into political persuasion. Todd then highlights Moran's account of ABC editors, lawyers,...

Todd examines the media's demand that Attorney General Todd Blanche demonstrate independence from President Trump and argues that enforcing the law must not be confused with politically targeting opponents. He then responds to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's call for direct presidential elections, congressional and Supreme Court term limits, and other constitutional changes, warning that supposed...

Todd examines a CBS News/YouGov survey showing that Democrats view socialism more favorably than capitalism and argues that the result reflects a dangerous retreat from liberty, private property, and free markets. He explains the relationship between socialism and communism, contrasts the founders' constitutional republic with expanding federal taxation and control, and discusses why government pr...

On Q&A Friday, Todd examines the WNBA's response to former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring eligibility for its draft and argues that the league's inability to define who qualifies for women's competition exposes a deeper conflict between objective biology and progressive ideology. He discusses the competitive consequences of admitting biological men into women's sport...

Todd examines the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America and argues that voters should take its stated goals seriously, including calls to abolish the Senate, presidency, and Supreme Court. He contrasts those goals with America's constitutional protections against the tyranny of the majority, responds to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's defense of democratic socialism and Hasan Piker'...

Todd examines Democrats' effort to distance themselves from the excesses of woke politics as the midterm elections approach. He responds to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's discussion of "woke one," reviews the language rules, defund-the-police movement, DEI mandates, gender ideology, cancel culture, and other policies voters are now being asked to forget, and argues that the same underlying ideas remai...

Todd examines the turmoil inside the WNBA as a warning about what happens when leftist ideology replaces clear standards and common sense.

On Q&A Friday, Todd answers a foundational question: What are the five core beliefs of conservatism? He explains why individual liberty, limited government, free markets and private property, constitutional government and the rule of law, and traditional values and strong communities belong at the heart of conservative political thought. Todd contrasts those principles with socialism, communis...

Todd examines a report that 38% of American adults are estranged from at least one family member and focuses on political and values differences as a leading cause. He argues that schools, universities, and a culture increasingly hostile to traditional American and biblical values can deepen divisions between parents and children. For families facing estrangement, Todd offers a practical path: pra...

Todd argues that Democrats are choosing socialism and transgender ideology as defining political causes, then focuses on the dispute over biological men competing in women's sports.
