The Stack: Government Will Solve Everything, Says New NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani
On the November 5, 2025 episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd reacted to last night’s New York City mayoral election and played extended clips from the victory speech of self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
Mamdani’s speech, which drew raucous cheers from supporters, promised a new “age” for New York — one where, in his words, “there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” Todd called the statement “the most revealing sentence of the night,” arguing that it exposes the left’s deep faith in government as a moral authority rather than a limited institution.
Throughout the episode, Todd paused Mamdani’s remarks to interject, analyze, and contrast them with foundational American ideas. He reminded listeners of Ronald Reagan’s famous warning that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” From there, Todd explored how identity politics and emotional rhetoric have replaced policy substance, noting that many voters cheer for feelings rather than ideas.
The discussion turned philosophical as Todd explained why the founders designed government to secure liberty—not to act as a provider, savior, or substitute for God. Drawing on scripture and history, he described how political movements that promise universal care inevitably erode personal responsibility and individual freedom.
Todd warned that New York’s new direction offers a preview of what happens when socialism, even under the “democratic” label, takes root in American cities: big promises, economic failure, and the moral confusion that results when government tries to play God.
True to the show’s Conservative, Not Bitter approach, Todd combined sharp critique with a steady optimism—reminding his audience that the ideological battle ahead is not only political but spiritual. He closed by urging conservatives to stay engaged, understand the philosophical stakes, and continue advancing the principles of liberty that built the nation.
If you’re interested in how modern socialism collides with America’s founding ideas—or want to hear Todd’s real-time reactions to Mamdani’s speech—this episode delivers clarity, conviction, and classic Todd Huff insight.

The Todd Huff Show – November 5, 2025
Host: Todd Huff
TODD HUFF: My friends do not. Be dismayed. Do not be disappointed. Well, you can be disappointed. Do not be crushed.
TODD HUFF: Here. After what happened yesterday, it was not a good day for Republicans politically. But this is the battle that we find ourselves in. This is far from over. And I want to talk about this today. I want to talk specifically about the virtual communist that has been elected.
TODD HUFF: In New York City today. Zohran Mamdani. I want to play some of his victory. Speech that leads me to talk.
TODD HUFF: At the core. Of. What I want to get to when I do this show. When you go back to the days of when I was brainstorming this show. Or when I was on the horse farm, as I was listening to talk radio, I remember this. Is a long time ago now. 25 plus years ago. I remember having.
TODD HUFF: Mock interviews in my head. That even though. The people that I was interviewing as I was trimming that fence line or painting that fence. May be different today than they were 20 some years ago. The questions and the thoughts that I have. That they can be traced back to.
TODD HUFF: Well, when I was doing those mock interviews, in my mind, as a horse farmer on the fence, listening to talk radio and so forth. But when I thought about this show and what I wanted it to be, I always wanted it. To be about ideas. I always wanted to be able, and today. Is great for me because. This is an example of being able to talk about what has happened.
TODD HUFF: On the one hand, I hate that it has happened. I hate the New York City. Has elected a quote unquote democratic socialist mayor because it's going to cause problems. The chances of this working. Hear me say this. What do we. November 5, 2025, here on today's program, hear me make this proclamation. There is 0%.
TODD HUFF: Listen, I literally mean zero. I'm a guy who thinks in terms. Of. Probability a lot. I think in terms when I'm watching a Pacers game and the Pacers are down 23 points with seven minutes to go or whatever. I think in terms of probability, I think some people just turn it off and they end up missing some of the greatest comebacks.
TODD HUFF: In history, of which the Pacers had quite a few last season. But I think in terms of probability. Yeah. Are they going to lose? In probability. Sure. Is there a chance they could win? Yeah. So. It's never fair to say a 0% chance in the world of sports. I mean.
TODD HUFF: If there's 3 seconds left and you don't have the ball and the clock's. Ticking. Sure. But short of that, there's never truly a 0% chance until the game is over. Hear me say this. There is a 0% chance, and I mean literally 0% chance, that what New York just did by electing Zohran Mamdani is going to work.
TODD HUFF: I mean, if he does what he says he's going to do. The chances of things improving for New York is literally zero. Now you say, well, Todd, that's. Not possible. You just told us that the game is not over. But see, the game is. Over. See, that's the thing. The game is over because the ideology has already been exposed.
TODD HUFF: As something that is not true, is not beneficial, does not reflect the way that things work. This side of heaven. And it is set to fail. This is a certainty. This will not work. This will be an utter disaster. Some people out there say that this is what New York deserves. I don't.
TODD HUFF: Like to say that. I mean, yes, they voted for it. So in that sense, I guess. You reap what you sow. And I don't feel sorry. I feel sorry for. The people who voted against it, who see what's coming and they can't do anything about it. Maybe they can't get out of the city. I do feel for those people, for those who have voted this in, buying into this narrative.
TODD HUFF: This Obama 2.0 sort of candidate, someone who's well spoken and. Can just generate enthusiasm by saying nothing. By the way, it is remarkable to me, or saying things. That would be laughed out of any place that has people with brains sitting around the table listening. To this stuff. He has built a following. It's something to behold.
TODD HUFF: It's terrifying in another sense because the guy can say anything and he gets cheers and I'm going to play some of his speech, but it lets us get into some philosophy. Some of these ideas, which I love to get into, that's where we're headed. Today. I appreciate you joining us. One of the biggest challenges that we have as conservatives is finding way. To ensure. Our values align with the things that we do, including the ways that we invest our money.
TODD HUFF: That's why. I love what the team at four eight financial is doing. They specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies that do not align with our faith and our value. So we're not funding things that go completely against what we believe in, that oftentimes is the case. And for a long time, people just accepted that as reality.
TODD HUFF: Now, my friends, there are tools and ways to do something about that, and that is what four, eight financial can do for you. They'll do the heavy lifting. You don't have to do the research. You just have. To complete an assessment. That's all you've got to do. And it's simple to do. Just head on over to four eight. Eightfinancial.com Todd that's four.
TODD HUFF: Eightfinancial.com slash Todd to complete that assessment because your money, my friends, should work for your values. All right? Let's get to this. I'm going to pull up this link now. I listened to this full speech. Oz heard it, too. I think I heard. Yes, I'm going to say I heard Oz roll her eyes a few times as she was overhearing Zohran Mamdani during his victory speech last night in New York City as he won the mayor's race.
TODD HUFF: Now, the final tally here. Well, I guess this was—I'm looking on screen here—Mamdani won by about 200,000 votes. He had over a million. Cuomo had under 900,000. And then the rest of the characters were down way below that. Mamdani had over half the vote. Just that. Half the vote. 54.4% is what I'm looking at here on this still shot with 90% of the precincts reporting.
TODD HUFF: So he takes to the podium to proclaim his victory. Now, I listened to this whole thing. It's 22 minutes or something like that. There's a place here—this is in the latter half, right at the midway point, slightly past it—that I want to talk about. It's a chunk of what I want to get to. We'll get through as much of this as we can because I do want to get to some of these ideas and so forth. But I want you to listen to this speech and I want you to listen to some of the bodacious claims that this guy makes.
TODD HUFF: I want you to listen to the reaction of the crowd. They cheer anything. And I just want you to try to take a step back. Try to take a step back to where you're a spectator. I coach a couple of girls’ basketball teams, and there are times that the players become spectators, and I’ll tell them: do not become a spectator. Right? If you're on the court, if you shoot the shot and then suddenly you just watch it to see if it goes in instead of going to the basket to try to get the rebound—you become a spectator.
TODD HUFF: And sometimes you can become a spectator or some players have the propensity to become a spectator on the floor. So normally I would say, in a system like we have—where we have the right to self-governance, it’s a constitutional republic, representative republic and so forth, where we're electing people that we want to represent us in Congress and so forth—I would say, don’t be a spectator.
TODD HUFF: But for this small moment in time, try to remove yourself. Remove yourself from the feelings that you have, the fears that you have, the concerns that you have, and try to just step back. First of all, let me say it's all going to be okay. The one way through this is through victory. One side of this is going to have to win.
TODD HUFF: We have gotten so far apart. I'm not against compromise. I am against compromising with people who require us to accept things that are just outside the realm of what is reasonable and acceptable. These folks have to be defeated. Zohran Mamdani has to be defeated.
TODD HUFF: What’s about to be unleashed upon the city of New York is going to be the fault and responsibility of Zohran Mamdani and those who elected him. So I'm going to play this. This is roughly—I don’t know what is this—11, 12 minutes, maybe 13 minutes into his speech. This will be—the full speech will be on the show notes if you want to go there, toddhuffshow.com. It’s called The Stack. I misspoke. Or you can Google it. This is at cnn.com if that’s easier, whatever the case.
TODD HUFF: But Mamdani takes to the podium and I just want you to listen to this. Try to step back and try not to be judgmental. I'm going to be criticizing these ideas and all that sort of stuff—that's coming. Don’t worry about that. But just try to—we need to first understand what it is, because you and I hear this and we think, what universe is this coming from? Who does this appeal to?
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Excellence will become the expectation across government, not the exception. Really. Yes. In this new age we make for ourselves, we will refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate to pit us against one another.
TODD HUFF: Now listen, I know that there are people that do that. I know that there are people—this has been the strategy of the left. This is why there's identity politics. To get one group stirred up and to say, “Hey, that group over there is causing you to have problems. Let's organize here. Let's vote for a person. Let's stick it to that group.”
TODD HUFF: That’s exactly what they've been doing. In fact, I would encourage you to listen to what he's about to say here in a minute, and I would say, is he not the one that's doing this very thing? But he continues here—to the cheers.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.
TODD HUFF: You want to bet? You want to bet?
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Here, we believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too.
TODD HUFF: Baloney. It absolutely is not. This is the sort of thing—I know, I want you to listen to this objectively, but I can’t help myself as well. This is one of the lies of socialism. I remember having debates with people, or watching debates, where somebody will say, for example, that they care about our children, right? “It’s the community’s children, and we all love them.”
TODD HUFF: Listen, I get it. I understand to a point what’s being said here. I want to protect and stand up for the kids in my community, but I’m not the parent of every kid. Right? And so the idea that the government or some elected official loves your children as much as you do—well, unless someone out there is just a horrible parent, that’s just not true. It isn’t true.
TODD HUFF: In fact, I remember watching one debate where a parent said, “Oh, you think you love my children as much as I do?” And the person said, “Yes.” And he said, “Well, when’s their birthday?” And of course, this person doesn’t know. And the point is—listen, I understand what you’re saying to a point, that you care about children and all that—but you don’t love my child.
TODD HUFF: What’s his favorite color? What’s his favorite ice cream? What does she like to do in her spare time, right? This is part of what it means. We don’t have the capacity. I understand the Bible even tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves—to love people—but I can’t love people in some abstract way. I have to love a person as an individual.
TODD HUFF: And I can do things that are loving toward humanity in general, but to think that that somehow replaces the familial or parental type of love that only comes from someone who’s close to the person, who’s intimate, who understands who they are, what they want, who walks through those struggles.
TODD HUFF: We homeschool here. I’ve watched as my wife has sat down with our kids. Everybody has struggles, right? And works these things out with them in ways that the government just simply cannot. But they tell you that—they love everybody, and that they're standing up for everybody, and fighting for everybody.
TODD HUFF: It also assumes that people like you and me on the other side of the aisle are opposing these people. Listen, I have no problem. Every single person is made in the image of God. This is not a hard concept, I think, to grasp and understand. Every person deserves to be treated with respect. I’m even ordered by God to love my enemies.
TODD HUFF: In the Bible, even if they were my enemies, God says to love them. So I don’t hate anybody. They're conflating different things. And if you look at what he's doing, he's trying to grab different groups of people that have been convinced that they have been targeted by another group of people, and that their problems exist because the other group of people created the problems for them.
TODD HUFF: And that’s not how you solve anything. This is one of the many fundamental problems with socialism. It’s remarkable to me. I’ve said on this program before—socialism, or this sort of mentality, teaches us that everyone is collectively responsible for everything, but no one is individually responsible or accountable for any specific thing that they’ve done.
TODD HUFF: And that’s the inverse. That’s the opposite of how we are to live our lives. I’m not responsible for the decisions and choices of other people. I’m responsible for me. I’m responsible for the things I do, the things I say, the attitudes I have. Dare I say, biblically, I’m responsible for the thoughts, the motivations—not just what I do outwardly.
TODD HUFF: And it’s good sometimes to bite your tongue, but it’s even better to not have to bite your tongue because your heart has been renewed by your Savior.
TODD HUFF: And I just—listen, this stuff appeals to people because it says someone else is responsible. Someone else hates me. Whatever struggles I face are because of some other group of people. And again, it’s always some nameless, faceless group. Now, they have certain characteristics—they’re white men or whatever.
TODD HUFF: So if you see a white man walking down the street, you’re supposed to hate them, but you don’t know why you’re supposed to hate them. There are some bad people out there—bad people who are white, bad people who are every color, whatever—but the idea, the idea that this is appealing, at its root, considered substantive by people, is crazy. But it is.
TODD HUFF: He continues here, though, Mamdani at the microphone.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: And we will build a city hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism. Where the more than one million Muslims know that they belong—not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power. No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.
TODD HUFF: All emotion. Listen to the crowd cheering. This new age will be defined by a competence and a compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another. We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
TODD HUFF: Now, that’s what I wanted to get to. There’s a lot of troubling things about this. Notice the cadence. Notice the emotion. One of the biggest misunderstandings in modern politics is that I long for this to be about ideas—and it’s ideas that are actually being voted on.
TODD HUFF: But what you end up having are people—you have vehicles who are delivering the message. And the message is oftentimes not about the idea. The message is about creating an emotion. And then once you have the emotion, you can just push whatever idea, because you’ve got the heart of the person. When you’ve got this connection, they’re cheering for things.
TODD HUFF: Listen, I’m not saying everything he said is bad. That’s not my point. What I’m saying—some of it is, by the way—but what I’m saying is that he’s not even talking about any substance here. He’s talking about groups of people. “We’ve got a single Black mother, I’ve got the Muslims, I’ve got Jews, I’ve got this group, I’ve got that group.”
TODD HUFF: And what the unspoken words are here, the unspoken intent of this, is to say, “I’ve got your back because someone else has created problems for you.” And you know what? Sometimes people have created problems for individuals within these groups. But the problems we should be addressing are when someone is directly responsible for causing harm to someone else.
TODD HUFF: They should face the consequences. By the way, these are the folks that the left often wants to protect from having to face the consequences in our criminal justice system—making excuses for them all the way home, as to where they end up. And they do this again with the mentality that says we’re all collectively responsible in some sort of way for the actions of an individual, but no one is responsible for the actions of himself.
TODD HUFF: It’s a scary place to live, but this is what New York City is going to be. And I want to take what he just said there as a springboard to talk about some political philosophy, some ideas, some things that I think matter even more than the content of this stupid speech.
TODD HUFF: Because it exposes what these folks believe. And I’ll requeue that up and play that on the other side of the break. And we’ll talk about it.
TODD HUFF: But before I get there, my friends, MyPillow is excited to announce that they are having their biggest three-in-one sale ever. You can find out more information about that at MyPillow.com. Use promo code TODD and you will get your special pricing and discounts on virtually everything on that store—including this three-in-one sale that you can access on the website.
TODD HUFF: MyPillow.com, promo code TODD. I’ve got to take a quick time out, my friends. You’re listening here to Conservative, Not Bitter Talk. I’m your host, Todd Huff. Back in just a minute.
TODD HUFF: Welcome back, my friends. I want to queue up what Mamdani said there last segment during his victory speech last night. One of the most terrifying lines—you remember Reagan—this reminds me of Reagan’s quote. Let me get this right. Oh boy, how exactly did he say that? He said the most terrifying—the seven—was it seven most terrifying words in the English language? I may have the number wrong. Maybe it’s nine. I’m going to count as I say them.
TODD HUFF: Whatever the number of most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help. That’s nine. I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.
TODD HUFF: We went from that mentality with Ronald Reagan—by the way, spot on accurate in his assessment of how we should be afraid of the government trying to solve our problems—to literally, literally Zohran Mamdani speaking at the podium in New York City last night during his victory speech saying this, to massive cheers from the audience: We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
TODD HUFF: Wild, wild stuff. “We will prove that there is no problem too large or no problem too small for government to care about, no problem too big for government to solve.” There’s nothing that—It’s crazy to me. It is absolutely crazy.
TODD HUFF: Again, contrast that, juxtapose that with what Reagan said back in the 1980s when he said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Now we’ve got cheers saying there’s no problem too big or small for government to do something about.
TODD HUFF: I beg to differ, my friends. And I want to talk about that. I want to talk about these fundamental ideological problems and why it is absolutely true what I’ve been telling you for a long time—that we are in the midst of a cold civil war.
TODD HUFF: And you can’t compromise—listen, you can compromise with liberals, you can compromise with Democrats, you can compromise with moderates, you can compromise with Blue Dog Democrats and establishment Republicans. Conservatives—there can be compromise there.
TODD HUFF: But when you have people who have abandoned the core ideological foundation of this great nation, it becomes incredibly difficult—and at some point impossible. That’s why—well, let me finish the thought—it’s impossible to compromise because it is so dramatic.
TODD HUFF: I mean, is the compromise between total government control…the compromise with someone, I should say, who wants total government control of the economy—Is it half control? Is that acceptable? See, this—we have to defeat this. This is not something you can compromise with. And that’s not something they want to compromise with us on.
TODD HUFF: They’ll say it at the podium, but the truth is, they’re incompatible. At some point, these are philosophically incompatible ideas—the idea of liberty, the ideas upon which this country was built—and what Mamdani is talking about here: that there is no problem too big for government to solve and no problem too small for it to care about.
TODD HUFF: What on earth is going on here? Now, I knew this, you knew this—but to hear someone saying this from the podium, it is wild. It really is wild, my friends, and I want to talk more about it. But before I do that, if you’re curious about kratom—you might have heard me talking about it—if you’re looking for honest answers before you try anything, it’s completely understandable.
TODD HUFF: In fact, I would tell you to make sure you understand the product before you jump into trying it. Do some research. But you’re invited to the Weekly Tea Talk from Christopher’s Organic Botanicals. It happens every Thursday night, 7:00 p.m. Eastern. No pressure or sales pitch, anything like that. Just real conversation about, well, the issues surrounding kratom—how it’s used, how to stay safe, what to avoid, those sorts of things.
TODD HUFF: Christopher’s Organic Botanicals believes education should come first, and that’s what sets them apart. I’ve gotten to know Christopher a bit, and he’s really trying to get the truth out about this product. And there are lots of reasons why there’s confusion and concern, and he really believes in this education.
TODD HUFF: He knows a lot about it. If you have questions about relief, dosage, safety, sourcing, anything—anything at all—that’s the place to ask. They’ve built a community that’s focused on truth, not just the hype. Again, you can join it Thursday—that’s tomorrow night—7:00 p.m. Eastern. That’s every week.
TODD HUFF: For more information, visit ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com. That’s ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com. Truth. Tradition. Transparency.
TODD HUFF: Okay, so let’s get into what I like to really talk about here, which are the differences—these very, very important differences—in ideology.
TODD HUFF: The philosophical foundations, our worldview—these sorts of things determine what we think makes sense politically during election season. And of course, yesterday was Election Day for New York—well, the mayor of New York. And by the way, Republicans lost the governor’s race in Virginia. Republicans lost the governor’s race in New Jersey.
TODD HUFF: California voted to redistrict, which again—listen, that’s a political choice. And my state’s about to embark upon that here in Indiana as well. I know many of you are fellow Hoosiers, and it’s the reason why we have to be prepared to fight. We have to do this as well. Anyway, we’ll get to that. We’ve talked about that a lot lately.
TODD HUFF: I want to stay on topic here. So—what’s the proper role of government? If you look at our founding documents, if you look at the Declaration of Independence, if you look at the Constitution, you can see that our Founders—and read their writings, right? Read the Federalist or even the Anti-Federalist Papers. Read just some of the thoughts and excerpts from diaries and letters from some of these Founders and so forth.
TODD HUFF: Early presidents—they understood. They understood a lot of things. Number one, that the primary function of government is to secure liberty, uphold law, deliver justice. That is what our government should seek to be doing. And if you look at the Constitution, you look at the Declaration for a little bit of background—but the Constitution, it understands the nature of humanity.
TODD HUFF: The nature of humanity. The Founders said, look, rights are given by our Creator. So what’s the very first thing—the very first thing, the most important foundational component of our system of government—is a belief in God.
TODD HUFF: Now, people say, “That’s separation of church and state,” and all that. But listen, you have to have a foundation upon which your society functions and even makes sense. Our society was built on Judeo-Christian values, beliefs, morality. That is baked into it. There is no getting that out. We’ve tried—I say “we,” others have tried—and they failed miserably, because it’s intertwined. It’s baked into the final product.
TODD HUFF: And so the worldview is critically important. The government should be limited. Biblically, when Jesus was crucified—there’s so many beautiful things I’ve shared with you. I do this Bible study called The Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobble. I think it’s absolutely fantastic stuff.
TODD HUFF: And there’s a lot of things—there’s a whole lot in the Scriptures—but one of the most amazing things to me is when Jesus was crucified, one of the first things that happened, it says, is that the curtain in the temple was torn in two. This curtain was big and thick, and it separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple.
TODD HUFF: And the high priest was supposed to go beyond that curtain once a year, and only the high priest. He was the only one who was ceremonially prepared and cleansed to go before God and to seek to atone for the sins of the people every year.
TODD HUFF: In fact, even when he would go behind that curtain, they would tie a rope to him—I think on his arm or his leg—in case he had a heart attack or died behind the curtain. They were not going to go retrieve him. They were not allowed to go back there.
TODD HUFF: And if you know much about the Old Testament, you’ll know that there are examples of bad things happening when people violated what God had told them not to do—“Don’t touch the Ark of the Covenant,” or whatever. And so they would have that rope there to pull him out.
TODD HUFF: Well, that curtain was torn in two. And what did that mean? Why were those words even put there? Well, they’re put there because what it said—what it signified—was that the work that Jesus just did on that cross tore down the need for that curtain. What happened on the other side of that curtain—no longer did humanity need a high priest to stand between them and God, because Jesus had done the work on the cross.
TODD HUFF: The perfect sacrifice for our sins. There no longer was that burden—or that, I should say, barrier—between us. And so the same is true, our Founders would say—the government doesn’t stand between you and your God, you and your choices. You live out your life as you see fit.
TODD HUFF: Your freedoms come from Him, the Creator. They don’t come from a bunch of people in Washington, D.C., or your statehouse, or anywhere else. They come from God. You can live freely. You have those rights that are given to you. The government exists to secure those rights and make sure that you have those rights—that there is law and justice and there are some basic functional things that the branches of government do.
TODD HUFF: And it’s clearly outlined and put into place, but it is a limited government, because the government doesn’t exist to be all these other things.
TODD HUFF: Your government is not God.
TODD HUFF: I’ve said on this program before—the left believes that government is God. They do. I’ve had them tell me that. I’ve had some tell me that it is the closest thing they have to religion—that politics is—and it’s mind-boggling to me.
TODD HUFF: And that leads to some candidate like Zohran Mamdani. I’ve got to take a break, my friends. Long segment. Back in just a minute.
TODD HUFF: Welcome back, my friends. Third and final segment. This is the day, by the way, we’ve reduced—because of some things that were, some new things we’re doing and some changes—we’ve cut down to one hour of the podcast today.
TODD HUFF: And who knows, that might change at some point. There might be bonus content for Inner Circle Plusmembers at some point. I don’t know. We’re working through that. But this is a day that I could talk about this for a long, long time. And I just don’t have the time, unfortunately.
TODD HUFF: I’m going to do my best here to continue what we talked about last segment, because I think this—of all the things going on out there, all the things that are happening in this country—I think that understanding these major differences between the ideologies, between the worldviews that fuel these political movements and parties, this is critical to grasp and understand.
TODD HUFF: So that’s what I want to get to in the time we have remaining. But friends, maybe you’ve reached that stage where managing your money feels like juggling more than just numbers. There’s tax planning, estate work, investment choices—a whole lot more.

TODD HUFF: Okay—talking here about the differences between the mindset that says Reagan—again, juxtaposing Reagan’s comments that said the nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Comparing that to what Mamdani just said, who said that there is no problem too big for government to solve or too small for government to care about.
TODD HUFF: See, this is a perfect example of government trying to fill the void of, well—the human need for God. That is exactly what is happening here. Government is not your provider. Government is not designed to fix all of your problems. Government is designed, again, to secure your liberties—to ensure law and order, to ensure justice.
TODD HUFF: If someone directly harms you, that person should face the consequences of that and deal with the repercussions. The government is not there to try to figure out who is responsible for whatever struggle that an individual is dealing with, and then come up with some policy or plan to make it right. But it sounds so good.
TODD HUFF: It sounds so good. And if you think about it, this is government trying to fill the role of God. This is government trying to seek out vengeance, if you will. The Bible says, “Vengeance is Mine,” declares the Lord.
TODD HUFF: The government shouldn’t be out there seeking to promote vengeance and so forth. The government should be out there trying to promote equality under the law and actually pursuing justice. Which, again, the left doesn’t want true justice—they’ll say they want justice, but they’ll want different types of justice.
TODD HUFF: I don’t like when there’s any word attached to the word justice—social justice, environmental justice, whatever. It’s justice. And some of those things aren’t even remotely connected to justice. But they’ve conditioned people to think this.
TODD HUFF: They’ve conditioned people to believe that the government’s out there trying to make things right—and I guess to get even, to redistribute wealth, to create this utopia. It will fail. And it will fail miserably.
TODD HUFF: In fact, many people are preparing to leave New York City because of the ideology, the politics of Zohran Mamdani.
TODD HUFF: Socialism always fails. Always. One hundred percent of the time. And just because—you’ve heard me say this if you’ve listened to this program for long—just because you tack the word democratic on the front of it, which again is another little subtle trick that’s used by the people who are talking about “protecting our democracy” now…
TODD HUFF: They tack the word democratic in front of socialism and now they say, “Look, we’re here, we’ve got the 50% plus one. If we have the majority, then we can basically do whatever we want. We can take something that belongs to one person and give it to another.” And the audience applauds. The people that are takers applaud. The people who are desiring big government applaud.
TODD HUFF: The people who are desiring a government to take the role of our Creator, of our God, applaud. That’s what’s happening in this morally bankrupt ideology and worldview.
TODD HUFF: You always run out of other people’s money, though. That’s why our Founders also said liberty was the objective. The smallest minority, by the way, is the minority of the individual—one person. That’s why you have rights that you are secure in, that you should be secure in, that you’ve been given by your Creator, that our government should help secure and make sure all people have that.
TODD HUFF: But instead, what we have is some perversion of that, to now where we say, “Well, we’re going to take from the smallest group and give to the biggest group of supporters and voters I can have, so I can win their votes—and basically pay them off.”
TODD HUFF: This is anything but just and good and wholesome governance and politics, my friends. This is an ideological battle. This, at its core—at its core again, as I’ve said before—is a spiritual battle. Government is not your God. Government is not the benevolent force that many believe that it is.
TODD HUFF: Government has done more atrocities—committed more atrocities—than we can possibly talk about, especially in the time remaining, which is not much.
TODD HUFF: Got to go. SDG.
