The Todd Huff Show

Todd follows up on the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, contrasting the immigration and financial allegations with Donald Trump's 34 New York felony convictions and his argument about political lawfare. He discusses reports of DNA evidence, questions surrounding Omar's citizenship history, and dramatic changes in disclosed net worth. Todd also examines a brutal Ohio campaign ad in which Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's birth mother calls her a liar, while Acton's family says the attack exploits her childhood sexual abuse, and considers the painful context behind the political fight with Vivek Ramaswamy.

Todd responds to Barack Obama’s defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar and argues that investigating disputed facts surrounding her naturalization is not the same as targeting someone for her political views. He contrasts the allegations involving Omar’s recorded birth year with Donald Trump’s 34 New York felony convictions, explains how the business-record charges were elevated, and argues that Trump’s prosecution—not a fact-based citizenship inquiry—is the clearer example of political lawfare.

Todd responds to Donald Trump's warning about unrest in France and examines what happens when mass immigration collides with a nation's foundational beliefs. He explains how biblical morality, Greek philosophy, Roman law, free markets, and assimilation shaped Western civilization, and argues that a free society cannot endure if it abandons the ideas that made it prosperous. Todd also discusses the tension between Sharia law and individual liberty, the consequences of open borders, and why Americans must be willing to defend the principles at the heart of the nation.

Todd addresses new evidence that the phone call used to claim Texas Senate candidate James Talarico had entered an Ohio treatment facility was doctored and misleading. He condemns the alleged fabrication, explains why forgiveness does not erase consequences, and argues that political disagreement never justifies bearing false witness or destroying someone's reputation. Todd also examines the media's false reporting about Jacob Blake and explains why accuracy matters more than being first.

Todd examines unanswered questions surrounding Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's nearly two-week absence from the campaign trail and his explanation that he had a severe case of the flu. He challenges PBS NewsHour's framing of reports about Talarico as conspiracy theories and misinformation, reviews apparent inconsistencies in the candidate's travel and urgent-care timeline, and argues that political campaigns create distrust when they manage appearances instead of answering basic questions directly.

Todd examines the federal search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home and the reported immigration and naturalization questions surrounding the investigation. He argues that political opponents must never be targeted through lawfare, while also insisting that public office cannot shield anyone from legitimate investigation. Todd also reviews why even Democratic strategists say James Talarico's explanation for his recent absence does not add up.

Todd examines media coverage of President Trump's remarks about Iran, fuel prices, and the danger of a nuclear-armed Iranian regime. He explains why claims that Trump encouraged attacks on Los Angeles and San Diego strip the comments of their context, argues that repeated political deception destroys public trust, and reflects on the October 7 Hamas attacks and continued efforts to blame Israel rather than the terrorists responsible.

Todd examines media coverage of President Trump's remarks about Iran, high fuel prices, and the danger of a nuclear-armed Iranian regime. He argues that reports claiming Trump encouraged attacks on Los Angeles and San Diego stripped the comments of their context, criticizes political narratives presented as journalism, and explains why repeated deception destroys public trust while defending the importance of a free and accountable press.

Todd examines the federal bureaucracy, the deep state, and the Trump administration's effort to cut programs such as USAID. He discusses a Townhall report linking USAID's defunding with a string of conservative election victories across Latin America, asks whether U.S. funding had influenced the region's politics, and argues that Americans must confront entrenched government power, corruption, and the challenge of continuing reform after Donald Trump.

Todd examines Zoran Mamdani's definition of socialism during an interview with Theo Von and argues that political ideas cannot be reduced to subjective slogans. He contrasts Mamdani's promise of a government-guaranteed dignified life with the traditional definition of socialism, the American founding principles of limited government and God-given rights, and the importance of private property, personal responsibility, integrity, and objective meaning.

Todd examines a White House estimate that Democratic Socialists of America policy proposals would impose a ten-year fiscal burden of more than $350,000 per household. He explains why government promises of free health care, college, and debt cancellation still leave taxpayers with the bill. Todd also discusses Ms. Rachel's political activism and campaign donations, urges parents to scrutinize the values behind children's media, and reflects on the Todd Huff Show's approaching tenth anniversary on Indianapolis radio.

Todd examines reports that a co-pilot attacked the captain and tried to crash an Israel-bound FlyDubai flight carrying mostly Israeli passengers. He recounts how the wounded captain opened the cockpit, passengers and crew subdued the alleged attacker, and off-duty pilots regained control and landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Todd contrasts the severity of the incident with early media descriptions of a cockpit "altercation," connects the passengers' response to the lessons of Flight 93, and argues that Americans must take the continuing threat of jihadist terrorism and antisemitism seriously.

Todd examines developments after the hung jury in the Lindsay Clancy case, including defense attorney Kevin Reddington's effort to scrutinize holdout juror Michael Desronville and the defense's changing arguments about responsibility for the deaths of Clancy's three children. He contrasts courtroom clips from the trial and subsequent hearing, argues that the lone juror stood for accountability, and warns that targeting jurors threatens the justice system. Todd also connects the case to a broader spiritual and cultural struggle over truth, moral responsibility, churches, science, media, education, and the coming election.

Todd examines James Talarico's claim that universal health care rests on biblical grounds because Jesus healed the sick without asking for a deductible. He argues that the comparison confuses doctors with insurers, turns Christ's ministry into a political program, and applies its logic inconsistently to teachers, food producers, and other workers. Todd also discusses Talarico's progressive church, C.S. Lewis's liar-lunatic-Lord trilemma, the deity of Christ, Christian charity, and why compassion does not require government-run Marxism.

Todd examines new claims about the boat-shaped Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat, including ground-penetrating radar anomalies, core sampling, and underground drone footage that researchers say may point to a man-made structure. He distinguishes intriguing evidence from definitive proof while asking what a discovery matching the Genesis account would mean for Christians, skeptics, and atheists. Todd also explains why miracles are coherent if God exists, surveys other claimed biblical archaeology, and connects Noah's ark as a vessel of rescue to salvation through Jesus Christ.

Todd examines a Gallup survey showing growing support for socialism, especially among Democrats, and contrasts government-promised entitlements with free enterprise, individual liberty, and constitutional rights. He uses a former leftist's account of college indoctrination, feminism, victimhood, entertainment, and anger to explain how education and culture can shape a woke worldview. Todd then argues that rebuilding strong families, personal responsibility, biblical faith, and confident conservative communication is essential to resisting those pressures.

Todd examines a federal judge's temporary order restoring White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, and argues that the dispute raises broader questions about due process, journalistic standards, media bias, and the First Amendment. He revisits examples of political narratives he believes major outlets have distorted or ignored, from coverage of Joe Biden's condition to January 6 and the Russia investigation. Todd then turns to comments from the minister at James Talarico's church, contrasting her rejection of the virgin birth, Christ's saving work, and the authority of Scripture with the biblical account of God's covenant and redemption.

Todd examines President Trump's confrontational appearance at the United Nations and argues that his willingness to challenge the media, global institutions, and political convention is what separates him from typical Republican leaders. He discusses Trump's defense of national sovereignty against mass migration, his call for nations to leave the International Criminal Court, and his criticism of global officials who focus on transgender ideology while ignoring the persecution of Christians. Todd also reflects on why Trump's political style cannot simply be copied and why conservatives want leaders who stay on offense and address problems before they are allowed to fester.

Todd examines the lawsuit challenging President Trump's removal of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds, arguing that the First Amendment protects the freedom to publish but does not guarantee any outlet a press pass or seat in the briefing room. He distinguishes rights from privileges, contrasts journalism with commentary and political activism, and reviews examples cited by the White House of previous Democratic administrations restricting press access or monitoring reporters. Todd argues that a genuinely free press requires factual reporting and integrity, and closes by considering the difference between freedom and liberty within a lawful and...

Todd examines President Trump’s decision to revoke White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, weighing the importance of a free press against the distinction between press freedom and guaranteed access to restricted government spaces. He discusses media bias, corrections and defamation cases, the role of objective journalism, and why context matters when evaluating claims that an administration is silencing reporters. Todd also compares the controversy with Barack Obama’s record involving Fox News, Associated Press records, reporters James Rosen and James Risen, and other disputes over press freedom.

Todd responds to Hasan Piker’s comments about hating America and distinguishes the right to express an opinion from the responsibility to use liberty wisely. He discusses patriotism, socialism, the cost of college, student debt, and alternatives such as trade schools and apprenticeships. Drawing on C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, Todd explores moral law, conscience, and the excuses people offer when they violate shared standards. He also reflects on gratitude, free enterprise, and the difference between criticizing speech and suppressing it.

On Constitution Day, Todd reflects on the Constitution’s role in limiting government, protecting liberty, and placing authority with the people. He discusses reports that the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial has spoken about deliberations, while noting that the reported account is not established with absolute certainty. Todd explains his view of reasonable doubt, criminal responsibility, and the pressure on jurors to change their votes. He also addresses hostile social media comments, the importance of persuasion, and the Constitution Day membership offer for Inner Circle Plus.

Todd examines the Supreme Court’s refusal to allow the Trump administration’s proposed Postal Service ballot-mail rules to take effect for the 2026 midterms. He walks through the proposed envelope logos, voter-linked barcodes, and election-office data portal, and explains why he sees them as election-integrity safeguards. Todd contrasts judicial activism with originalism, discusses Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concerns about implementation time, and considers Justice Samuel Alito’s suggestion that delays influenced the outcome. He closes by urging conservatives to focus on winning under the rules in place.

Todd examines why democratic socialism appeals to some younger Americans and argues that frustration over housing, college costs, and inflation is being misdirected at capitalism and the nation's founding principles. He responds to a viral clip in which a woman says she instantly hated a respected coworker after learning he was conservative, using it to explore political tribalism, ideological caricatures, and the difference between education and understanding. Todd calls on Americans to explain opposing ideas honestly, defend constitutional liberty, and reject hatred based solely on political labels.

Todd examines juror Paula Devlin's television interviews following the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, focusing on Gayle King's reaction to learning that the lone holdout was the jury's only Black member. He argues that the exchange exposes the contradictions of judging people through race and gender, and he criticizes jurors who described their deliberations as an opportunity to create social change rather than decide the case from the evidence and the law. Todd also responds to Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal of his earlier claim that there are six biological sexes, questioning whether the change reflects conviction or election-year calculation.

On the 25th remembrance of the September 11 attacks, Todd recounts where he was as the news unfolded and reflects on how the tragedy transformed American life. He reviews the timeline of the four hijacked flights, honors the 2,977 victims, first responders, and passengers of Flight 93, and recalls the national unity that followed. Todd also traces the years of escalating al-Qaeda terrorism that preceded the attacks and argues that a new generation must learn what happened, reject revisionism, and never forget the lives lost or the threat posed by radical Islamist terrorism.

On the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Todd reflects on Kirk's legacy, Christian faith, and willingness to engage ideological opponents in open debate. He argues that a culture increasingly driven by personal attacks, coercion, and appeals to authority has lost the ability to test ideas through evidence and reasoned argument. Todd also examines claims he says have been falsely or misleadingly attributed to Kirk, including an alleged anti-Asian slur and the accusation that Kirk advocated stoning gay people, and calls for disagreement without hatred or political violence.

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 argues that professional expertise inside the jury room is not itself evidence, challenges the claim that medication or expert opinion must settle the question of personal responsibility, and warns against surrendering critical thought to doctors, nurses, technocrats, or any other authority.

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 followed the Clancy trial. Todd then contrasts the treatment of Clancy with a Virginia mother placed on a child-abuse registry after allowing her five-year-old to walk alone through their gated community, arguing that society has inverted its moral...

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 orchestration. Todd also discusses social media, censorship, election concerns, and the meaning of being Conservative, Not Bitter: standing firmly for truth while keeping political disagreement from becoming personal hatred.

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 fruits of people's labor. Todd also challenges Talarico's progressive-Christian claims about God, gender, abortion, and Christlikeness, and explains why the battle over liberty, faith, and America's founding principles remains central to the 2026 election.

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 argued someone else committed the killings. Todd then considers why some supporters reject even the defense’s position, connecting that denial to emotional reasoning, cognitive dissonance, cultural hostility toward personal responsibility, and the need for truth and accountability in a fr...

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, community, entertainment, and the appeal of secret knowledge can pull people toward predetermined narratives, then urges listeners to test claims against evidence and focus their energy on the real work of defending truth, liberty, and their communities.

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 defense’s claim of postpartum psychosis, and the public campaign supporting her, asking how compassion for mental illness should be balanced with truth, accountability, and justice for three murdered children.

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 argues that conservatives must answer sincere questions with honesty and persuasion, distinguish free markets from government-distorted systems, acknowledge real corruption without surrendering liberty, and ground freedom in moral truth and America’s founding principles.

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. Turning to America’s founding, biblical morality, abortion, and scientific efforts to extend human life, Gary urges the nation to remember, repent, and return to its first principles—and explains why eternal life ultimately comes through Jesus Christ rather than technology.

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 Abrahamic covenant, and why he believes America must continue to stand with Israel. He closes by urging Christians to expose evil, speak with courage, and resist silence in the face of cultural decline.

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 Iron Curtain, and his experience as a legal immigrant, Krish urges voters to listen closely to radical candidates, reject political apathy, defend free enterprise, and consider who ultimately pays when ideology replaces common sense.

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, open borders, race-conscious government policy, compelled speech, and efforts to replace capitalism with socialism. He challenges Americans to defend the rule of law, free speech, economic liberty, and the principles that have made the United States a beacon of hope.

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 attractive. Todd argues that conservatives must listen carefully, acknowledge real economic frustrations, teach history persuasively, distinguish genuine free markets from government intervention, and defend a constitutional system that can reform itself without surrendering individual liberty.
