The Stack: Indiana Redistricting Showdown and the Battle for the GOP
Indiana’s high-stakes redistricting vote has become more than a debate over political boundaries—it’s now a defining moment for the Republican Party itself. As Todd explains, the battle inside the Indiana State Senate exposes a deeper national pattern: conservatives demanding courage and conviction while moderates and rhinos cling to comfort, image, and political safety. The vote’s outcome could influence Congress after 2026, shaping whether Hoosiers send stronger constitutional conservatives to Washington or leave the door open for Democrats to exploit weakened districts.
Todd also walks through why the argument that “current maps are sacred” collapses under scrutiny, why leadership like Rod Bray continues ducking accountability, and how grassroots activism is reshaping the GOP in the post-Trump era. In a political era where many issues have moved beyond policy and into the realm of good versus evil, this fight is ultimately about whether leaders use the power voters have already given them—or shrink back when it matters most.

📝 Transcript: Indiana Redistricting Showdown and the Battle for the GOP
The Todd Huff Show – December 11, 2025
Todd Huff: Well, my friends, for those of you who've been listening intently to what's happening, here in the great state of Indiana. Today appears to be the day when the Indiana state Senate will be voting on whether or not they will approve the new maps or not. If you've been sitting on the fence waiting. If you've been busy, I get it.
Todd Huff: I get it. If you're a hoosier, I understand that there are a lot of. Things vying for your attention, a lot of things happening going on that could prevent you from. Making your voice known. But this is it. It has to be done. In fact, if you're. Listening to my voice.
Todd Huff: After Thursday. I know folks listen at different times depending upon. Whether they listen to the podcast or whatever. But. You may not be able to make your voice known, but if you hear this and it's, still Thursday. Make it known.
Todd Huff: That you want to see these new maps approved for the reasons that we've discussed on this program for the past couple of weeks now, my friend. So that's where that's. What I want to talk about today. I want to talk a little bit. Use this to talk about the difference between.
Todd Huff: There's a lot of teachable moments here. This is a real time civics lesson. For people, which I think is good for those who think we live in a pure democracy for those who think that there's something sacred about. The lines where they're drawn today. For people who think that there's some sort of objective fairness.
Todd Huff: And set of unspoken. Accepted rules to this process. All of those things people are learning in real time. And I think it's good. I think it's good. I don't know what's. Going to happen here.
Todd Huff: This is going to be potentially a razor thin vote. In the Indiana state Senate today, and I got some words and thoughts about that as well. That's the direction we're headed. My friends talking a little bit about rhinos versus conservatives.
Todd Huff: And the battle that's happening for both the Republican Party controlled the Republican Party, which is a battle between the moderates, the rhinos. That's kind of a group. I've just lumped together the rhinos and moderates versus.
Todd Huff: The conservatives and then of course reasonable Democrats fighting against the radically insane leftists out there that have taken over a big chunk. Of the Democrat party. And all this fuels the larger fight, which is the battle for. Well for America. Is this country going to be what she was founded to be, or are we on the way.
Todd Huff: Are we on the way? I know we're on the path, but are we literally. On the doorstep. Of becoming something we were never intended to be. A state or a nation that no longer reflects. Liberty, a nation that has top down rule. From Washington, DC, we've already seen this in a lot of ways.
Todd Huff: But can we still fight back against this? Do we still have states rights? Do we still have a nation where federalism matters? And individual liberty matters. We do. But, my friends, that has been under assault for a long time. And we are feeling the pinch here. So that's the direction we're headed today. My friends. I'm glad that you joined us.
Todd Huff: You know, one of the biggest challenges that we, as conservatives have, is finding ways to ensure our values align with the way that we live. Our lives, everything that. We do. I know that we don't want to make everything political, but listen, it matters. If you go to a local establishment and do business with them, and then they use those profits.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): To help fund the causes that you are. Completely opposed to. Diametrically opposed to. That's a problem. That's a major problem. And so I think we've been awakened to this over. The past. I don't know many x number of years, but it's also important. In the way that we invest our money. That's why I love what the team at Four Financial. Four Eight Financial, excuse me, is doing.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): They specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies that don't. Align with christian faith, christian values, so that we're not funding things that go against. The very things that we believe in. They do all the heavy lifting. All you have to do.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): Is complete a short assessment. And you can do that by going to 48financial.com/todd. It's short. It's easy. I did it. You can too. 48financial.com/todd. 48 Financial. Because your money should work for your values, my friends.
Todd Huff: All right, so let's give just kind of a general update here since we've been talking about this for the past couple of weeks. The Indiana State Senate is scheduled to vote today. On the final redistricting bill. The final. Maps. The proposed new maps for congressional districts. Indiana's breakdown in the state senate is as follows.
Todd Huff: There are 50 senators in our state senate. Now, again, if you're not in Indiana, this stuff still applies because of the national implications. That's why we've been talking about it so much.
Todd Huff: On this program. I've done everything I know to do here, my friends. I don't. Know how this is going to shake out. I don't know how this is going. To shake out, but this is critically important that. We get these victories, and I'm going to kind of break down. Why? So Indiana has 50 senators, 40 of them.
Todd Huff: 80% are Republican. Ten of those senators in the Indiana state House are Democrats. Of those 40 different, so you have to have 25 if it's a 25, 25 vote. Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith will cast that tie breaking vote, and we all know what he is. Prepared to do. We know from.
Todd Huff: Well, he talked about it here on this program, I don't know, a couple of weeks. Ago. A month ago. So we know that. We've also heard him be very outspoken about this and his support. Just like I have been. So you need 25 republican senators to get this done. That's 25. Out of 40. Which is what is that? 62% of Republicans? Is that what it is?
Todd Huff: It's five eighths. That should be 62 and a half percent, if memory serves me correct. But nonetheless. That's what has to happen. But there have been a significant number of Republicans who have said that they are opposed to this or who.
Todd Huff: Are undecided on this, even at this late hour. So it's going to be razor thin. I think that the number of senators who've been on the record saying they're going to support this is around 14, 15, 16. That I'm aware of.
Todd Huff: Reporting. On a state issue like this is not nearly. As easy to find information as you would see coming from something in Washington, DC, for example. But somewhere around that, so. There needs to be another.
Todd Huff: Ten, roughly. 9, 10, 11 Republicans sign on to this and. There's certainly a group that could still be swayed. One of the things I read this morning said that the House, excuse me, the Senate majority whip, which.
Todd Huff: This is the individual who is responsible for. Getting Republicans to vote. Along the leadership's position. Now, of course, we know the leadership in the Senate here in our state that does not want this to happen. Rod Bray does not want redistricting for reasons that we don't know because he doesn't care to tell us that he thinks that he'll keep that to himself as he's out there doing.
Todd Huff: GTQ photos for Politico and short articles, again telling us nothing. But anyway, the bottom line here. The bottom line here is that. It's going to be. A close vote here. Although I've mentioned Rod Bray, there's reasons to think that.
Todd Huff: There's disagreement amongst the leadership in the Senate, so there could be some in positions of leadership certainly that are going to vote in favor of this. Anyway, we'll see how this all shakes out. And it's why, if you're. Listening to my voice. And it's still Thursday. You can still send your emails.
Todd Huff: You can still make your phone calls. And of course, respectfully. Let them know what you hope that they do. So it raises the question, though. How can we get to this point? And for those of you and I know that there's some of you in this audience.
Todd Huff: I've come out pretty strongly. In favor of this. And there's some of you that still, in spite of all of my reasons and rationale aren't comfortable. And listen, I've shared, I've shared on here candidly that I would say ten years ago, I don't know what I would have thought about this. I might have not been in favor of this ten years ago.
Todd Huff: Knowing what I even knew then. It's funny to me. It's funny since Trump came to the national scene, I've been following this since politics in general, probably since. I don't know, the early to mid 90s when I was in high school, definitely in college. That's when I was a political science major and having those arguments that started back in, I guess, 1996. Although I was quiet at Butler. Not so quiet.
Todd Huff: At American University, but nonetheless. I've been following this. For quite some time. At least 30 years. Probably more like 35 years. But I've learned along the way. I remember, and I've shared with you.
Todd Huff: During the time of this program. From the beginning of this program ten years ago until today, I've shared with you. On some occasions. Just the process of what it was like for me to learn. And me to understand.
Todd Huff: What it meant. What's really at stake and what some people are prepared and willing to do. And I remember distinctly. I remember being on the horse farm. I can still in my head see. Where I was. It's funny.
Todd Huff: We're all programmed differently, but. I learn audibly. It helps visually in some instances as well, but. We're all different. But I can remember if I listen to when I used to listen. To Rush's podcast when I would go for a jog or whatever at the park. If I listened to the podcast again or heard it somewhere else. A clip.
Todd Huff: It would immediately take me back to the place I was when I heard it on the trail. At the park. Say, for example. I can remember. I can remember where I was.
Todd Huff: On the farm when? I was wrestling with some of the things Rush was saying, which was, there are people that hate America as founded. That did not compute for me as a young 20-something year old kid. It didn't register in my brain. I couldn't understand it.
Todd Huff: How could you hate this country? It was perplexing to me. How could you not? By looking over the course of history. See the beauty of this great nation and what the. The principles that she was founded upon. Absolutely.
Todd Huff: The founders were completely wrong. Not all of them, because some of them opposed it, but with what happened. In regards to slavery and so forth. That was reprehensible. But there are so many other things that are good. And candidly, the foundation to treat all people equally was baked into this country so that we could.
Todd Huff: Eventually. Eradicate the evil of slavery from. This great nation. And I remember thinking, surely people don't hate it, as Rush is explaining. But I came. To realize he was right. He was right. They hate this nation as founded. They hate this nation.
Todd Huff: Being built upon liberty. I don't think we truly and completely understand just how much. People who are on the side of big government, people who are tyrants, how much they hate liberty. How much they hate you. Having the choice to win, to run your own life, to make. Your own choices.
Todd Huff: I don't think we fully grasp just how evil that is in their sight, of course. It's not evil. That's just how they look at it. The arrogance required for someone to be. Of the belief that they have all the answers and that they should be able to institute a top down approach in our nation's capital.
Todd Huff: And that everyone else just blindly follow because they're so much smarter and superior to the rest of us. Hay seat hicks is laughable to me, but there are people who really. And truly believe that. And that is part of what is at stake here, that this issue, this redistricting fight, which, again, is happening in other states around the country as well.
Todd Huff: And which, by the way, you will not hear me complaining and crying that it's unfair. If another blue state does something like this to try to gain more seats. I will, however, point out when there's actual gerrymandering, which is when districts are clearly distorted and drawn into really odd shapes so as to make sure that certain districts have a certain outcome. Indiana's not done that.
Todd Huff: They've not done. That. Include entire counties, but they certainly have split up counties. Well, one in particular, Marion County. And that's the prerogative of the legislature. If you don't like it. You can vote out the people who supported it, but for those who are still on the fence, here.
Todd Huff: And. They're not on board with this. It is a political thing. A lot of what is in the american body politic today, a lot of this discourse, a lot of these debates. They are about things that. Are. It's good versus evil a lot of times today, and I don't like to say that.
Todd Huff: Unless it's true. I mean, we've reached the point where. I mean, literally, we. Have people pushing an agenda that tries to deny science. And basic human truths. That try to steal legally from one group of people to give to another. They promote godless just wicked human depravity. In some cases, pushing us away from liberty, away from free.
Todd Huff: Markets towards. Big government towards socialism, towards, dare I say, communism. Statism. The state is God. In the minds of these godless radical leftists, we talk about these things regularly, and there's a lot of instances where politics isn't even really politics anymore. It is a foundational fight and argument over what is good and what is evil. This is not that. This is a political fight. I will say this.
Todd Huff: Though I will say this, that. If these maps are not passed. It will be the result will allow us or allow the left. To have a tool at their disposal that allows them to further push ahead. Their evil and wicked agenda.
Todd Huff: That's what is true here. So why haven't Republicans here in this state in particular? Why have they not used their political power here? What has caused them to not want to. Govern or legislate as conservative? Well, there's a couple of reasons for that. First, of all.
Todd Huff: All these folks are not conservative. As I mentioned earlier, there is a fight, a battle for control. Of the Republican Party and Indiana, though. Very, very red in many, many ways. Within the republican party. There's a lot of.
Todd Huff: Rhinos or a lot of moderates, a lot of country club Republicans. That don't really see the urgency. I think the closer to the middle you are, the less of a problem you have with people. On the Democrat side of the aisle.
Todd Huff: With the ideas. I mean, that they're proposing and standing by and so forth. And I don't think that they see the risk. I think that they think this is embarrassing. Why are we having this fight? I mean, this isn't stately, all those sorts. Of things. But rhino, which stands for. It's r I n o. I was telling someone. This the other day. Younger people may not know these terms, some of them in many ways.
Todd Huff: Know much, much more than we did when we were their age, because of the information age that we live in, but others have certainly don't know some of these terms, but rhino r I n o stands for Republican in name only. And there are many rhinos in the state. Of Indiana. We had a rhino governor named Eric Holcomb. We had a rhino.
Todd Huff: We have a rhino senator named Todd Young, a US senator from the state of Indiana. We have other rhinos in the state of Indiana. And again, I don't want to. Be at just complete odds with them. But we as conservatives.
Todd Huff: Had better get control of the Republican Party or we're going to have more of this. Weak man be panby sort of moderate approach and. It doesn't undo the mess that we find ourselves in. We need conservatives who not only stop.
Todd Huff: The insanity. It's not just enough to stop it and to put a pause on it. We actually have to. Undo it, right? It's not enough to say, wow, this is a lot. Let's put the brakes on, put it in park, and then in four years.
Todd Huff: The Democrats win, or at some point they win and they just put the car back and drive. They've started right where they stopped. They don't ever lose the ground. We're constantly losing ground, and a lot of it's because of.
Todd Huff: These rhinos. Or sometimes they're conservative people who just don't have the fight in them. And I have come to realize that and accept that. That's why when you make those calls. It's not necessarily helpful to be confrontational. Just make sure that they know.
Todd Huff: What you expect them to do. Not in a threatening way, but in a way that they can feel like they've got the people behind them because. They're going to tick someone off here with these votes later today. And again, if they think that this is going away.
Todd Huff: If they think that Trump is not serious. With the primary process. Or. The heritage or whoever else. Turning point, action. This is going to become an area where Republicans are going to be challenging some of these folks. And to that I say good.
Todd Huff: To that, I say good. But for those who are still unconvinced about this, I have a couple of questions. Number one. Why do we assume that the maps that we have now are right and that any deviation from that is wrong. Just explain that thinking to me.
Todd Huff: Explain that thinking to me because. If these maps that are being proposed now, if they were drawn immediately in the wake of the 2020 census, would they have been acceptable or would they have been unacceptable?
Todd Huff: Then as well. Why do we pretend like. Why do we pretend like. The Democrats who go to Washington, DC are not contributing to the problems that we face as Hoosiers why do we refuse to accept that? Why do we think it's great to make sure that we go out of our way to give them a seat, that they have an advantage in why, when they are, by definition, creating these problems that I've talked about.
Todd Huff: Creating these. Again, not just minor differences of opinion, but radical, transformational, foundational differences of opinion. That impact this state and this country. In dramatic ways. I'm going to have to take a break here in a moment. My friends. We're talking here about the vote in the Indiana state House, the Indiana Senate, specifically.
Todd Huff: That is slated to happen here today. It looks like. And we're going to see if we're going to have these new maps or we are not. I'm just going through that process. Just making my last minute appeals and also updates as to what's going on here.
Todd Huff: In this process because it impacts both hoosiers and people all across this country 100%. Absolutely.

Todd Huff: Friends. Sit tight. 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. Program brought to you in part by our friends at Christopher's Organic Botanicals. My friends, listen.
Todd Huff: You're curious. If you are curious about Kratom or just want honest answers before you try anything, which. That's a great place to start. That's a great approach. To. This process. You're invited to the weekly tea talk from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. It happens. Every Thursday. That's today, my friends. Every Thursday night, 07:00 p.m. Eastern.
Todd Huff: No pressure, no sales pitch, sales piss. Just. Real conversations with real people who want to help you understand Kratom, what it is. How it's used. All of those sorts of things. What to avoid? The truth about the negative things you've heard in the news and so forth. Christopher's Organic Botanicals believes education should come first. That's what sets them apart from a lot of these other folks that just want to push product.
Todd Huff: And sometimes compromise. Your safety by putting out something. That's synthetic, not natural, and just truly not even kratom. So if you have questions about relief, dosage, safety, sourcing, all those things. This is the place to ask those. Questions. They've built a community that's focused on truth, not hype. Again, that conversation happens every Thursday 07:00 p.m. Eastern.
Todd Huff: For more information, visit ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com. That's ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com truth, tradition and transparency. My friends, okay? So want to talk a little bit? About rhinos. And I mentioned that rhinos means republican.
Todd Huff: In name only. A red state does not mean conservative leadership. And Indiana's political. Structure. May create a lot of Republicans, but. There's not a lot of conservative governance and legislation.
Todd Huff: Now. It's still vastly superior to what we see in other states that are run by leftists or even liberals, people on the left. But this is a far cry. What we have here in this state is a far cry from true conservatism. It really is.
Todd Huff: And there certainly are people in the House. Or Senate who are conservative, but. There's not enough of them. There's not enough of them. So. Much of what we're dealing with today. Is beyond politics. It truly is. It's beyond politics.
Todd Huff: And rhinos by nature. I ran into. What's his name? He's got a duel. I can't think of his first name. Do you know who I'm talking about? Oz. I talked to him at the statehouse the other day. We had never met before.
Todd Huff: I said, are you Abdul? He said, yes. I said, Abdul. I'm Todd Huff. Good to meet you and he made some comments. He made some comment. Some derogatory comment about turning points. He said something to the effect of.
Todd Huff: I'm just here. I may have asked him what brings. What brings you here today? What do you here to talk? I don't know. You here to talk? You just seeing? What's going on? What's happening? He said some comment about.
Todd Huff: What this was allegedly, what this event allegedly was. And I said, really? I said, you don't think it is what it says? No, he doesn't like Turning Point. And I said, oh, well, I said, I do, and. I'm going to speak here in a bit and.
Todd Huff: I said. I told him what I did. And. He said, well, I'm a rhino. And I said, well, I'm a conservative. And he basically said, I tell people, though, that rhinos charge at you. Or so I don't know some such thing. And I thought, rhinos don't do that, Abdul.
Todd Huff: Rhinos run for the hills. Rhinos won't answer my questions. When I call as a constituent to ask for Rod Bray to give me as a I just want their opinion. I'm not going to jump anybody. I might ask hard questions. I might push back a little. I might tell them that this is. Not what I voted for.
Todd Huff: And that I might even tell them that this is. Not what I voted for. And that this is something that to me, is a line in the sand that if people are not prepared to cast this vote. For the new ballots, then I don't think I can. Continue supporting.
Todd Huff: A particular Republican, and I think that's why they don't want to have the conversation. You can disagree with my reasons and rationale, but my goodness, over the past two weeks during the speech that I gave at the statehouse.
Todd Huff: I have written a lot about this. I have poured everything I've got into this, my friends and. You can disagree with my reasons and rationale, but I am telling you. I have still not heard from the rhinos. The rhinos? That Abdul told me?
Todd Huff: Were charging just. Fierce components of our nature. Just out there fighting for truth and standing firm and charging all over the place. I see the rhinos running for the hills. That's what I see. I see the rhinos afraid. To ask or to answer questions to make their opinions no.
Todd Huff: Why do we still not know where these folks are on their vote? I mean, if you can't. Decide where you are. It's just beyond my way of thinking here. I shared with you years ago. I invited. I don't do this often. We're doing this a little bit more now as the program.
Todd Huff: Has evolved. And as we're doing some other things that I'll tell you about, as time. Time progresses here. But. I invited Senator Todd Young on the program to talk about. I've shared this on here. Before.
Todd Huff: To talk about. The fight. I think it was over Brett Kavanaugh. Or maybe been Neil Gorsuch. Now that I say this, it was one of the Supreme Court nominees. And someone from his office, I've got the email somewhere, basically said, “Oh, he'd love to come on the program once this issue is decided.” And I said, well, I want to have him come on to try to persuade people.
Todd Huff: That voting for Kavanaugh is the right move. I don't really want him to. Come on. After the fact, when it doesn't matter anymore, and then he can say whatever. He wanted to say to be on the right political side of this. That's not leadership.
Todd Huff: For Abdul. The more I think about that, the more. The more he tells me rhinos are. Charging and leading the way. It's laughable. Listen, you don't have to be. As conservative as me, but Rush used to say there's no book on great moderates. In American history.
Todd Huff: And it's true. These folks are not leading. They don't know what to do. They're terrified. They just want it to end. They've got their alarm clock. Set their stopwatches. You're going to hear after the final vote today, you're probably going to hear alarms go off.
Todd Huff: All over the statehouse here, telling people, “Whew, we got through that.” Now that's metaphorical. But that's how they think. That's how they approach this. It's not leadership. It's beyond me. And there's going to be people if we don't.
Todd Huff: Win this that are going to heckle people. And taunt people like me who've invested everything that I possibly could in persuading people to endorse this. And let me tell you, if we win, I'm not going to taunt anybody. I'm going to celebrate in the sense that I'm happy Indiana is going to have a better chance of sending more people with a brain and a backbone to Washington, DC.
Todd Huff: But I'm not going to be taunting people. I guarantee you they will taunt me. And you know what? It says a lot more about them than it says about me. It reminds me of.
Todd Huff: What was Teddy Roosevelt's that poem? “The Man in the Arena,” right. It's not the critic who counts. It's the person who's out there. With the blood, the sweat. Who's trying to win the fight and at times may fail. And I'm not saying that that's what's going to happen. I'm just saying that this is what we're up against, and it's infantile. It's juvenile. They think that they're leading when they're hiding and they'll taunt and mock.
Todd Huff: Once the storm passes. But they didn't do anything themselves to actually move the needle. It's cowardly and it's unacceptable, candidly, in my opinion, and that's. What we have. That's what we have here.
Todd Huff: When it comes to this issue. Of leadership, of principled governance, principled legislation. And this matters very, very much. It matters very, very much. And it's happening at a lot of places around the country. A lot of places are redistricting or talking about redistricting. If you've noticed, you don't hear a lot of news coming from the places that Democrats are doing this. In fact, Democrats are excused from.
Todd Huff: Doing this. In fact, even when. They have to adjust, take extra steps because of their constitution, what the constitution requires. As in the state of California, for example. They had to have a referendum. I've had some people say, “Well, California showed us how to do this. They went to the people.” Well, the reason California had to do it was because.
Todd Huff: It was the referendum that they put forth that required them to change the way that they normally were. Supposed to do it. Indiana didn't have to do any of that because. This was always. Within. The rules of the game.
Todd Huff: But weakness is a problem. Lack of principle is a problem. Ignorance is a problem. Comfort is a problem. Apathy is a problem. A lot of these folks are just sitting there collecting paychecks. They love to be politicians when they can kiss babies and shake hands and get invited to events to speak and have people.
Todd Huff: Say. Oh, Mr. Senator, Mrs. Senator, thank you so much for doing this and making sure that. You got funding for this or you stood up for that? All those sorts of things they love. That. But when the difficult decisions come. Where are they? Where's Rod Bray? Where's the other senators leading here. They are hiding my friends.
Todd Huff: It's pathetic. Whatever the outcome here is, this is still the truth. It's pathetic. That this is how they approach this. I've never understood weakness. I've never understood cowardice. It's bizarre to me. It really is. Tell me what you think. Stand by it and live to fight another day. If you lose, what is the big deal here? But for some folks, image and appearance and politics is everything. I got to take a quick time out, though. You're?

There's a couple of things I'm very confident of. Number one, if this goes to a split 25 25 tie. This absolutely will pass. Because Micah, our lieutenant governor, Micah Beckwith. Will absolutely vote.
Todd Huff: For these new maps. But what will get there? Are there enough to get? 25 of the 40 republican state senators? I don't know. I don't know. I'm a little bit on the concerned, pessimistic side, which is why.
Todd Huff: I would say if you're hearing my voice and it's still Thursday and you've got a chance. And this vote hasn't happened to reach out to these senators. To encourage them to pass. These new maps. I've shared the story before. Not the story, but.
Todd Huff: My assessment of why people like Donald Trump so much. I know that there are people who hate Donald Trump. There are people who hate Donald Trump, who are republican state senators, and that's a big part of this as well.
Todd Huff: They just don't like Trump. Trump embarrasses them and everything else. But I would say, listen, I understand. You don't have to agree with. Everything Trump says, or certainly. Every encounter or interaction he has on social media.
Todd Huff: And so forth. You can have questions. You don't have to agree with every single thing. But one thing that Trump has done and brought to politics that had not been in the Republican Party for a long time.
Todd Huff: Is the strength of resolve to do what he says he's going to do. I've said before Donald Trump walked onto the political scene, Republicans had two problems. Number one, the people we elected. Weren't really as conservative as they told us they were.
Todd Huff: Or they are conservative, but they're just wimps. And that was one thing we never had to worry about. With Donald Trump. The guy is not a wimp. The guy will walk into any room, have a discussion with anybody.
Todd Huff: Stand in front of a camera on 3 seconds notice. And answer any question that's thrown his way. It's remarkable, the contrast between that and what we got from Joseph Robbade, Bribery. Is unbelievable. Really?
Todd Huff: They had this guy hidden as much as possible. And I don't blame them. From the superficial sense, I understand what they were trying to do. They didn't want people to see just how incapable he was of running an administration. Running this country.
Todd Huff: But they hid him. And when he did stand in front of the media, he had pictures of people to call on. He had the names and the order of which he was going to call. On journalists, things like that. It's just sad and pathetic.
Todd Huff: And those are the sorts of things. I see a lot of that. See, that's protected. See the media is willing to overlook all of that. They're not going to call you out for not doing press conferences. They're not going to get on you too much.
Todd Huff: For having a list of journalists that you're going to call on with their pictures, so. You make sure you point to the right one. Probably because some of these people would not surprise me in the slightest if they had given him a pre screened question so that his team could give him the exact answer so he wouldn't.
Todd Huff: Have to use any sort of on the spot thinking whatsoever. But the media will protect people like that if they toe the line for big government, if they toe the line for the narrative of the Democrat Party. And that's what's a shame to me and sad to me, is that.
Todd Huff: That's what Senator Rod Bray and others, that's the approach they're taking. It's not transparent. It's not leadership. I think it's cowardice. Regardless of where the vote is. Just to duck the way that you've ducked. Why do you know? Ask yourselves this. Why? In the world. Do you know more about what this talk show host thinks about this issue than?
Todd Huff: You do certain senators. Why? I don't have a vote, and I can't even get the guy who has. A vote representing me to acknowledge my existence, to respond to my concerns, my questions. Won't do it at all. But yet, you know, and Indiana knows, and people in this audience know across this country more about what I think about this issue.
Todd Huff: Than most of the people in our. Statehouse. And why is that? It's inexcusable. Now, there's certainly some leaders and people who are not afraid to tell you, and I'm not throwing them into this. Bucket. But there certainly are people who don't like this moment. They didn't sign.
Todd Huff: Up for politics to do this, they signed up for politics. To get their name out there. To. Have maybe some sort of being honored at the local fair and shaking hands and kissing babies and. All that sort of stuff and.
Todd Huff: It's unacceptable. Today we're in the fight for the survival of this constitutional republic. Make no mistake about it. And let me be clear. The outcome of this vote later today in the Indiana Senate is going to impact potentially what happens in this nation.
Todd Huff: After the 2026 midterms. And it could be ugly. It could involve lawfare. It will involve impeachments. It will involve. All sorts of things that are not good for people that love this country. And are Hoosiers with good values. Folks, I got to go, though. SDG.
