The Todd Huff Show

Todd walks through the stakes and the questions around Trump authorizing strikes against cartel targets, framing it within America’s fentanyl and overdose crisis and the fight over border security. He lays out the rationale the White House gives, the legal gray zones of declaring a non-international armed conflict with “narco-terrorists,” and the prudential questions conservatives should ask any p...

Todd breaks down day 23 of what he calls the Schumer shutdown and makes the case for suspending the Senate filibuster to reopen the government and end the political theater. He hits the alarm on a soaring $38 trillion federal debt, explains why a “clean CR” became a flashpoint, and argues Democrats are leveraging maximum pain for political gain. Todd then turns to the map wars—why mid-cycle redist...

Todd tackles the core question of the moment: should the Senate filibuster be set aside to reopen the government? He breaks down how cloture works, why a simple majority could be enough under the so-called “nuclear option,” and why he says this is a Schumer-led shutdown. Todd also reacts to Sen. John Fetterman’s surprising openness to scrapping the filibuster for funding bills and a rare moment of...

Todd breaks down the optics and fallout of the nationwide “No Kings” protests, arguing why the spectacle risks alienating moderates while only firing up the far left. Then he digs into day twenty one of the government shutdown—what the Senate filibuster means, the real strategy behind a longer continuing resolution, and who’s feeling the economic pinch. Finally, a rare twist from the Ninth Circuit...

Todd breaks down the weekend’s “No Kings” protests and explains what a monarchy really is—then contrasts it with America’s constitutional republic. From the Declaration and consent of the governed to separation of powers and Federalist 51, he lays out why executive authority isn’t a throne. Todd also addresses claims that Trump wants to be a king, the AI “crown” meme, and how checks and balances w...

odd unpacks CNN’s town hall with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and explains why the left’s storyline on the ongoing government shutdown doesn’t add up. From filibuster math and continuing resolutions to Trump’s executive order protecting military pay, Todd lays out the context the media skips and contrasts big–government promises with limited–government reality. He also responds to A...

Voting Rights Act Section 2 takes center stage as the Supreme Court hears Louisiana v. Callais, a case that could reshape how majority-Black districts are drawn and how far race can be used in mapmaking. Todd walks through what Section 2 actually says, why lower courts demanded two majority-Black districts in Louisiana, and how equal protection concerns collide with vote-dilution claims. Then we z...

Cartels putting bounties on ICE, CBP, and DHS. Antifa operating like a network, not a “random protest.” And Blue-city leaders pushing back harder on law enforcement than on criminals. Todd breaks down how these threads tie together into one theme: lawlessness versus order. We talk border failures, Chicago’s chaos, Glenn Beck’s intel on Antifa, and why constitutional conservatives share more in com...

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

Hostages are finally coming home as Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire framework—but what’s really in the deal, who gets credit, and what comes next? Todd breaks down the reported numbers on released hostages and detainees, the unanswered enforcement questions, and why peace requires strength. We also look at Trump’s visit to Israel and remarks to the Knesset, media spin around his role, and th...

Todd flies solo with Oz out and digs into day ten of the government shutdown, breaking down how Senate filibuster math—not a simple majority—keeps a “clean CR” from a final vote. He walks through the latest cloture dynamics, why extending current spending short-term may be the only practical move, and where he parts ways with Rand Paul on tactics. Todd also reacts to news about New York AG Letitia...

Day nine of the government shutdown and the stalemate is getting messier. Todd breaks down why Senate Democrats keep blocking a “clean CR,” what that really means, and why Trump’s talk of federal reductions-in-force is suddenly on the table. Then we turn to campus speech wars: a Change.org petition targets the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, accusing it of “hate speech”—Todd explains what’s...

Eric Trump joins Todd to talk about his new book Under Siege and what it’s really like inside the nonstop barrage against his family. Todd also addresses an allegation from yesterday’s interview and corrects the record on a misquote about Charlie Kirk, then lays out a rapid-fire list of the most persistent myths about Trump and conservatives—from “34 felonies” to “very fine people.” It’s a candid...

Todd sits down with Shelby Campbell, a Democrat running in Michigan’s 13th District, for a frank, unexpected conversation about her viral clip referencing Charlie Kirk’s death, the apology that followed, and what “free speech” should look like in today’s climate. They explore common ground, from wanting civil debate to frustrations with media and political tribalism. Shelby shares how her upbringi...

Day six of the government shutdown, and the White House warns of possible layoffs while Democrats refuse a clean CR. Todd digs into what this standoff is really about—spending priorities, Medicaid fraud and subsidies, border security, and a grab-bag of eyebrow-raising “restorations” cited by Sen. John Kennedy. He also opens the phones to listeners ahead of two big interviews: Michigan congressiona...

Todd breaks down why the federal government is shut down and who’s really holding up a deal. He explains the GOP’s “clean CR” offer, Democrats’ push to restore emergency Medicaid reimbursements, and how the media frames the blame game. We also look at what a reduction in force could mean if the shutdown drags on, and why this moment could reshape the size and scope of government. Plus, an announce...

Today Todd tackles the surge of conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging listeners to pursue truth over clickbait. He honors Kirk’s impact on the conservative movement and youth outreach, then walks through the most-circulated claims—from “deep state” to foreign interference—highlighting why discernment, evidence, and context matter. Todd reflects on empathy for th...

Government shutdown headlines are back—but how much does it really matter to everyday Americans? Todd breaks down the facts and the spin around a “clean continuing resolution,” why House Republicans say they extended funding and why Senate Democrats blocked it, and what actually continues during a shutdown. We dig into furloughs vs. proposed RIFs, the battle over spending, debt, inflation, border...

YouTube just cut a $24.5 million settlement tied to its 2021 suspension of Donald Trump—yet the platform admits no wrongdoing and changes none of its policies. Todd unpacks what the payout actually signals about Big Tech’s power, the selective enforcement of “terms of service,” and why free speech principles keep getting stress-tested online. He revisits how conservative voices—including this show...

James Comey has been indicted on two federal counts — lying to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. But what does this mean for the broader debate over justice, accountability, and the politicization of government? In today’s episode, Todd Huff breaks down the charges against the former FBI director and explains the difference between a grand jury and a trial jury — and why that...

Todd returns from Montana and dives straight into one of the most pressing issues in America today: the rise of political violence and the disturbing refusal by some in Congress to condemn it. A recent House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—while also condemning his assassination and political violence in all forms—passed with bipartisan support, yet dozens of members voted...

Today’s Todd Huff Show is hosted by former Indiana State Senator John Crane, who reflects on his journey in politics and why he chose to voluntarily term-limit himself. Drawing from nearly a decade in public office, Crane explains why politics is always downstream from culture—and why the real battle lies upstream in the war of worldviews. Crane shares candid insights from his time in the Indiana...

Today’s show is hosted by political cartoonist Gary Varvel, filling in for Todd. Gary tackles the growing darkness in America—not just in politics and culture, but in the spiritual battle raging around us. He points to shocking acts of violence, from public assassinations to senseless stabbings, and challenges the easy “mental illness” narrative. Instead, Gary argues that Scripture makes clear the...

Today’s episode is hosted by special guest Krish Dhanam, dean and provost of Patriot Academy, who steps in for Todd to bring a powerful and encouraging message for conservatives and Christians navigating today’s cultural chaos. Drawing from his personal journey as a first-generation immigrant who arrived in America with just $9, Krish unpacks a timeless formula he calls MOVE: Merge the Lane of Tru...

Guest host Krish Dhanam steps in for Todd to explore how real leadership starts with humility—and why our political class so often misses it. Krish warms up with a classic tongue-in-cheek poem to highlight the absurdity of today’s shouting matches, then lays out The Leader’s Pulse: a practical framework for conservatives who want to influence without the rage. First up is Posture—the foundation of...
