The Stack: Indiana Republicans Must Redraw The Map

An abstract illustration of the Indiana State Capitol overlaid with symbolic district map lines. Represents the political battle over redistricting in Indiana.

Indiana’s Senate GOP leadership has decided not to reconvene for a redistricting vote—without debate, without transparency, and without explanation. Todd argues this isn’t a procedural hiccup or a scheduling issue.

It’s a failure of leadership at a moment when the stakes couldn’t be higher. With the nation locked in what Todd calls a “cold civil war,” Republicans cannot afford to play by outdated political rules while Democrats aggressively consolidate power.

Rod Bray’s refusal to even open the process to public debate is, as Todd explains, more than disappointing—it’s dangerous. If Republicans allow Democrats to retake the House, Trump’s agenda could be frozen by endless investigations, impeachment attempts, and a radical policy agenda that voters already rejected.

Todd lays out exactly why redistricting matters, why it is legal and necessary, and why Republican voters must hold their elected officials accountable. This episode is a call for courage, clarity, and leadership in Indiana—and across the country.

📝 Transcript: Indiana Republicans Must Redraw The Map

The Todd Huff Show – November 17, 2025

Host: Todd Huff

Todd Huff: My friends, Indiana Republicans should absolutely redistrict. We've talked about this, and I'm going to tell you why. On today's program—this isn't about, by the way, party games, political nonsense. This is about the direction of Indiana. That's the state I'm from.

Todd Huff: But for those of you from other states, hang with me because this is relevant to your state, your area as well, because as goes states like Indiana, so goes the country here, especially as we're talking about something like this. About ultimately the survival of our constitutional republic, and that's what I want to get into today.

Todd Huff: My friends, thank you for joining us. I hope you had a good weekend. We're back at it here on this Monday. It is a pleasure, my friends, to be here. Thank you for tuning in.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): Before I get started—friends, you know one of the biggest challenges that we have as conservatives is finding ways to ensure our values align with the things that we do. And for a long time, it was hard to do that with the way that we invest money. That’s not the case anymore. You can now make sure your investments align with your values.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): And I’ll tell you why here in a moment. That’s because Four Eight Financial is doing exactly that thing. They specialize in what is called biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies that don't align with your faith, your values, so you're not funding things that go completely against your values, your beliefs. They do the heavy lifting for you.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): All you have to do is complete an assessment so you can find out if—or to what degree—your current investments are reflected in your values. Go to 48financial.com/todd. That's 48financial.com/todd to complete that assessment for Four Eight Financial because your money should work for your values, my friends, certainly not against them.

Todd Huff: Okay, so here in the state of Indiana you might have remembered—in fact I was interviewing Micah Beckwith, lieutenant governor of Indiana, a few weeks ago—and we were talking about this very thing, talking about Indiana convening a special session to vote on redistricting. Now, why did we get here?

Todd Huff: Number one, we got here because we are in the midst of a cold civil war. I have explained this, I have documented this—we'll hit on this again today. But we have two diametrically opposed worldviews. This is no longer political anymore, my friends. We are talking about foundational systems of belief.

Todd Huff: We're talking about worldviews that are completely and utterly incompatible and we'll get more into that. But that's where this comes from. And so Trump is president. The Republicans have a very narrow margin of majority in the U.S. Congress. They have a somewhat small margin in the U.S. Senate.

Todd Huff: And you know that the tactics and strategies of the left are to throw a wrench in the gears of Trump's agenda, the agenda of the people who voted for Trump, and they'll do whatever it takes. I've called this the Seinfeld Newman strategy. If you watch Seinfeld, you will remember an episode where Jerry—well, he had an arch-nemesis named Newman.

Todd Huff:
Newman was postal employee Newman. He worked at the U.S. Post Office and Newman was just—I mean, it was hard to like Newman. Newman was kind of the embodiment of—you could say—evil to an extent. He was always up to no good. He was friends with Kramer, hated Jerry.

Todd Huff: And he desired to be transferred to Hawaii. It was the one route that he wanted the most. And so he was a quitter, number one. He collected his check, no matter how hard he worked. And he realized that if they look at how successful I am at my job, I'm not good enough to get this transfer.

Todd Huff: Jerry stepped in and said, "Now wait a minute Newman, if this means getting you to Hawaii I'll step in and help you because—and this is the point—I'll do whatever it takes, as long as it takes me so long as it takes you, Newman, away from me." And so Jerry actually helped Newman.

Todd Huff: Newman threw in the towel, he quit, he didn't deliver the mail. So Jerry stepped in. And Jerry, on his first day, was more productive than Newman, delivering the mail at an astonishing success rate. And then that upset Newman. Newman said they're never going to buy this because no postal employee has ever had that level of success. They'll know it wasn't me.

Todd Huff: He didn't get, of course, transferred. But this is the approach—this is the approach that people who oppose Trump are taking. Listen, and I've got no problem—this is part of politics. Well, part of it is part of politics. You should be able to oppose the people, their agendas, in a political fashion. You should be able to use the tools at your disposal.

Todd Huff: But they are being weaponized. Weaponized by the left. You think about what happened to Trump. And I want to go through the whole litany of things that Trump has had to deal with but suffice it to say—suffice it to say—that because Republicans are not willing in this state, I'm going to drill down to actual names here, somebody that I've had, I would say, a good relationship with.

Todd Huff: We're not close or anything. We've certainly met a couple of times. We know who one another are. But his approach here is the reason—if Democrats win the House this November—not this November, but in twelve months we've had an election—you can bet your bottom dollar—I'm not condoning gambling, but that's a figure of speech—you can bet your bottom dollar that Trump will be impeached.

Todd Huff: There will be endless investigations. The agenda that has been voted for will come to a screeching halt. Part of that is political, but they weaponize it—the abuse of power to take Trump out. And what we've seen throughout the course of time is absolutely remarkable. And for people to be chariot is quite something altogether. Just unbelievable.

Todd Huff: From a sense of—from a position of pure logic. And just—this is—this is a government supposed to operate on the rule of law. It has been allowed, if you target Trump, to do whatever it wants, and that's what's going to happen again. Not to mention that same side that does those things is going to push through their godless, radical agenda.

Todd Huff: Folks, again, it's not just differences on taxation, differences on policies. This is fundamental differences. And we'll get into all of this. So I say all this to say, Indiana was going to—well, they started the process of redistricting. I said that when Michael Beckwood was on the program. We actually were able to announce that the state—I didn't know that was going to happen, but that there's going to be a special session called by Governor Mike Braun.

Todd Huff: So as you know the legislature, because you listen to this program and you know civics, you know your constitution—the legislature, the state legislature is the one who's in control of these things. That includes the House, if you will. The General Assembly includes the House and the Senate.

Todd Huff: And so in the Senate, there is an individual Senate pro tem who leads the Senate. His name is Rod Bray in the leadership of the Senate, and he announced that the chamber, the Senate, will not be convening in the vote on this. He didn't tell us why. He simply said—I had his statement here, but for some reason it copied in the wrong color, so it copied in white, so I had to highlight it—here's what he said.

Todd Huff: Rod Bray: "Over the last several months, Senate Republicans have given very serious, very serious, I guess we didn't see any of it—got to take Rod's working for it here and thoughtful consideration to the concept of red—redrawing our state's congressional maps. Today I'm announcing that there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December." That's the end of the statement.

Todd Huff: First of all, where did these hearings take place, Rod? Listen, I've met him on a few occasions. He's a nice guy. This is not personal. This is a little bit painful for me because he's actually my state senator. But was this stuff done in the dark? Rod, the whole point of this—let's get this out into the light. Let's have hearings.

Todd Huff: Let's see where this process leads instead of just hiding. Hiding this in the shadows? Where did these conversations have it? How do you know? How do you know there's not enough votes? You haven't had the debate.

Todd Huff: You haven't had the conversation. We haven't seen the final—to my knowledge, the final recommended districts. What are you voting against?

Todd Huff: The concept will tell me why. See, Rod, I would tell you, and there's going to be a lot of angry people in the state of Indiana when they understand what this is about. And listen, if you hear me, I'm not happy with Rod Bray about this. I'm not. I've invited him. I will tell you. I will tell each and every one of you. I have invited him on this program a couple of times.

Todd Huff: I haven't mentioned that directly on here. Never heard a word. Never heard a no thank you. Never heard—I'm not interested. We'll talk about this. Heard nothing. Absolutely nothing. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I hear things when I invite. I've invited Rokana—Rokana?—is a liberal leftist Democrat from the People's Republic of California. Rokana's people have reached out to decline.

Todd Huff: We don't do this a lot, but we do this sometimes: we reach out to people that we want to have on the program. I heard more from Rokana's people than I heard from Rod Bray and his people. He's been invited on this program a couple of times. I simply wanted to ask him.

Todd Huff: See, I wanted to find out information that's not stated in this statement because I think that's relevant to you at number one—those of you in the state that I'm in, but it's also relevant to people in other states to realize what the problems are, what the holdups are. We don't know.

Todd Huff: And we won't know unless something changes. And I'll tell you if you want that to change, you have the opportunity. You have the opportunity to get involved and to reach out and to contact your state senator, or even to reach out to Rod Bray's office to email. Listen, and I want this to be—it doesn't need to be hateful or vitriolic, but you need to let him know.

Todd Huff: Trump's out there saying that Trump has said, look, if you're against this I'm going to be supporting people who are going to primary these folks. Now, Rod Bray—this seat has been in his family well been occupied by his family again—I don't like this. This is someone that's from just a few miles south of here in the community to the south. His father was the senator. I believe it's maybe even third generation.

Todd Huff: I had to look that up to be sure. Which that raises a whole other issue for me, which, by the way, I've mentioned that—not specifically about Rod Bray before, but I mentioned that before. But he's supposed to be a leader. This is not leadership. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. I'm personally uncomfortable having to say this to you, but this is not leadership. This is pathetic. This is cowardice. This is not how you do this.

Todd Huff: Listen. Tell us why. Tell us why the votes aren't there. Tell us why this is a bad idea. Tell us why you're not calling the session to try to hash it out, why can't we do that. There's no information on here. No information whatsoever. They want you to shut up and just accept it and move on. And I'm telling you when you think about what this is about and where this could head, you're going to want the state of Indiana to redistrict.

Todd Huff: You're going to want your state—if you're in a red state—you're going to want your state to redistrict. There's nothing illegal about this. Immoral about this. I've been through this. I've been through this a lot. Some people will say, well, we shouldn't do this for political purposes, folks. Drawing districts is by definition a political activity. Yes, it's done every ten years, but there is absolutely nothing that says it must only be done every ten years.

Todd Huff: This is perfectly and legitimately within the authority of the state legislature in Indiana, and they want to punt. They want to punt for reasons, and they don't want to tell you why. That is cowardice. That is not leadership, and I will tell you—I will—oh, this pains me. It does. It pains me to say this, but I'm going to tell you.

Todd Huff: In the state of Indiana, and this applies around the country, too, so whatever state you're from. But I would say even Indiana specifically, there's a lot of people in elected offices who are Republicans who are not conservative. They are country club Republican types. They are moderate Republican types. And this ain't the 1950s. Anymore, my friends, we are in the survival for our constitutional republic.

Todd Huff: If you're going to play with that set of rules, if you think that you're dealing with the Democrat Party that has even one toe tiptoed in to reality at all, I think you are highly mistaken.

Todd Huff: We have senators—well, we have Republicans in this state—RINOs in this state, maybe the best name for them. Republican In Name Only. Republicans like Eric Holcomb, who was our governor, wanted us to hunker down Indiana as he went around and lived his life during Covid going into restaurants, hugging people that worked in restaurants while telling the rest of us to stay in place.

Todd Huff: Not to get within six feet of each other, probably not even to look at each other, but he was cruising around. We couldn't go to the state parks, we couldn't go to Brown County, but he certainly could. There was a place where the governor can go reside there. He's no longer our governor, thankfully. It's been rumored that he might run for senator.

Todd Huff: If that happens, if that happens, you will hear a lot more about Eric Holcomb, because that cannot happen here in the state of Indiana—not just for the state of Indiana, before the overall, well, for the overall interest of this nation.

Todd Huff: We have Todd Young, another one who seems more interested at times in reaching across the aisle to find something moderate to agree with and promote with Chris Coons or some other Democrat senator—there's no leadership here. Every six years you'll see the airwaves filled with ads promoting Todd Young, and he'll remind you that he was a U.S. Marine, to which I applaud him and thank him for his service. I appreciate people who did those sorts of things.

Todd Huff: That does not mean that you are ideologically that in and of itself that's not the only reason to vote for somebody. It turns out the things that they support and the things that they vote for, the leadership that they actually exhibit in office, matters a whole lot. Todd Young—another one. We never get—first of all, we don't pursue a lot of interviews, but that's another one. I asked him to come on this program several years ago. I haven't.

Todd Huff: Since then, I lost respect for just the entire approach. I reached out to him when there was a—it might have been Gorsuch, I think. It was Gorsuch. It could have been capital. I've shared this on this program before. Invited him to come on the program to talk about that nomination, and his office said, well, he doesn't want to talk about it until after the vote. That is not leadership; it's the same thing I see here with Rod Bray.

Todd Huff: And this is the sort of problem and it pains me, Rod, to say this. He never got back here. Not even to say, I just don't want to talk about these things. But listen, now we've got a situation where the state of Indiana is being run by people who are, in many cases, who either don't understand what we're up against or don't care to win the fight. There's nothing wrong with the redistricting as I've talked about in other programs which we can get into.

Todd Huff: There's nothing wrong with redistricting. First of all, we got to win the districts no matter how the districts are drawn. You've got to win the districts, number one. Number two, the Democrats have done it to the max practically. And so they've suddenly said, we don't want there to be any more quote-unquote gerrymandering, which gerrymandering to me has always meant drawing these completely absurd shapes to pull Democrats or Republican voters.

Todd Huff: That are in very far apart towns have these real skinny sections that connect them, and then they gobble up a city or something. By definition, if you just look at where red voters are and blue voters, gerrymandering is naturally something that's more democratic—not theoretically, but for the party—in the interest of the party that it is for the Republicans because of how Democrats typically live in cities and Republicans live across the countryside in more rural and suburban areas.

Todd Huff: And so we're afraid either we don't know what we're up against, which is a problem if you're in leadership, or they don't care. And they think that we are playing a game of politics with a group of people on the other side of the aisle, and I'm talking about elected officials. I'm not talking about the people, because I think the rank and file, the rank and file are oftentimes reasonable people.

Todd Huff: It gets harder to be reasonable with some of these things that these leftist lunatics are promoting. But the truth is, the rank and file still have largely sense, and the leadership has gone completely bonkers. Listen, when government is your guide and it is for the radical left, and they see that their religion is about to crumble because of conservative leadership or MAGA movement or whatever you want to call it, they will do whatever it takes.

Todd Huff: This is where the Seinfeld Newman strategy comes in—whatever it takes, as long as it takes them. So long as it takes Trump out of power, out of the ability to implement his agenda, to put him back in the crosshairs metaphorical, of course, for impeachment, whatever.

Todd Huff: That is the strategy. And if people like Rod Bray interfere with this, if other senators in the state of Indiana allow this to happen—don't put their big boy and big girl pants on and take this thing and put it into the open and debate it.

Todd Huff: Listen, if this goes to the—if these arguments are heard in the Senate, which they absolutely could do that—if they want to fight about this in an open fashion, and this loses, so be it. But do not tell me, Rod Bray, do not tell the people of Indiana that the votes aren't there. Period. End of discussion. If you think that's where this is ending, you are greatly mistaken. Greatly mistaken. Especially when President Trump steps into the fray.

Todd Huff: My invitation still stands for Rod Bray. I don't think he'll take it, especially now. It's not personal, Rod. It's not personal, but it's not leadership. This is honestly kind of pathetic. If you're asking me, this stuff could be done in the open light in the light of day.

Todd Huff: And I don't know why you just didn't do it. This is just inexcusable. I don't know. Again, I'd love to hear your explanations. The people listening to this program would love to hear your explanations, but again, what do you say? I don't know what to say.

Todd Huff: This is where we are. This is where we are and I know. Listen. Indiana Republicans are not the best example to follow in many cases. At least tell us what you're thinking. Don't just close it up. There's legitimate things which I'm going to get into here after the break, but I've got to take a time out, friends.

Todd Huff: Quick time out, my friends. You're listening here to the home of Conservative Not Bitter talk. I'm your host, the one and only Todd Huff. Little fired up today. Back here in just a minute.

Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Talking here about the decision of Rod Bray. Republicans in the Senate, I guess we don't know. They just decided, "Hey, we don't have the votes." They didn't have a vote. They haven't had open debate. They've had closed door meetings to talk about this, I guess. I don't know. They don't want you to know why. They don't want you to know who's on record. They don't want you to know what they think. This should upset.

Todd Huff: Listen to me. This should infuriate the people of any—whatever happens. This should infuriate the people of Indiana. If this thing goes—if they have open up a Senate session, as they should here, if they do this—they should do this in the light of day. This is how they're used to operating, my friends. And listen, for those of you who say I don't criticize the Republican Party enough, please just remember.

Todd Huff: This program, this episode today, this is the sort of thing that is so disheartening. The left—it's remarkable. It's remarkable the left is willing to do whatever they need to do. It doesn't matter. You need Trump prosecuted. We got it. You need Trump—well, you can take that thought, line of thought, however you want to take it. There are people, they cheer. They cheer for bad things to happen to Trump.

Todd Huff: And listen. That should not happen. That should not happen. But if there is something that is legal, ethical and moral that just has a political price tag that you got to calculate that will potentially help in saving this constitutional republic, I hope to goodness you would decide to stand up and to fight at least to have the conversation in the light of day. If it loses, if it doesn't pass, and we can see how the votes are tallied, then let it be.

Todd Huff: But, Rod, if you're going to hide, if Republican senators are going to hide for whatever reason—I don't know—because maybe they're just principally against it, that's fine. Explain it. Don't just say we don't have the votes. Why? Why aren't they there? Do you understand the cost of this? Do you understand what's going to happen if Trump is elected, if Democrats win? There will be more impeachment hearings. The policies of the unhinged godless radical left will have a foothold again in Washington, D.C.

Todd Huff: This is a recipe for disaster. We have so many things to fix in this country. We're on the path toward fixing them. Things are dramatically better. They still have a long way to go. No mistakes about it. But if you look at what has happened with deportations and the security of the border—if you've looked at what's happened with inflation since Trump's coming to office—all these things headed in the right direction.

Todd Huff: All these things. If you looked at what's happened when it comes to how the left has weaponized everything—it wasn't that long ago that the FBI agents were targeting people who went to school board meetings to voice displeasure or discontent with the superintendent.

Todd Huff: Listen, I'm not here saying there is a line. You shouldn't be threatening. It shouldn't be violent, but you ought to be able to hold public officials accountable.

Todd Huff: I had a friend who a couple of years ago, several years ago, ran—was on the town council of a local community. One of his big pet peeves was how many things were happening behind closed doors. He was all about transparency.

Todd Huff: You might have disagreed with his style. There were things stylistically that I disagreed with with him. But I will tell you, he did a lot of good things bringing transparency back to the town in which he operated, which again had become accustomed to doing things with a wink and a nod and a handshake behind closed doors.

Todd Huff: And that can happen with any group of people—Republicans, Democrats, apparently the state Senate here in Indiana. Trump posted this to Truth Social: "Very disappointed in Indiana state Senate Republicans, led by rhino senators Rod Bray and Greg Good, for not wanting to redistrict their state, allowing the United States Congress perhaps to gain two more Republican seats.

Todd Huff: The Democrats have done redistricting for years, often illegally, and all other appropriate Republican states have done it because of these two politically correct type gentlemen in quotations."

Todd Huff: "It's just how," Trump posts things and a few others. They could be depriving Republicans of a majority in the House—a very big deal. That's all in caps, by the way. California is trying to pick up five seats and no one is complaining about that. It's weak Republicans that cause our country such problems. That's why we have crazy policies and ideas that are bad for America. Also, a friend of mine, Governor Mike Braun perhaps is not working the way he should to get the necessary votes."

Todd Huff: So he's turning up the heat on Governor Mike Braun, who's the one that called for this special session, but Trump says, "Listen, I don't care that you took the first step. We have results. We have desired results, and they didn't happen. You better get on the phone and start lobbying, calling your senators here in the state of Indiana." He says perhaps he is not working the way he should to get the necessary votes, considering that Mike wouldn't be governor without me. Not even close. This is Trump talking.

Todd Huff: "Is disappointing any Republican that votes against this important redistricting potentially having an impact on America itself should be primary. Indiana is a state with strong, smart and patriotic people. They want to see our country win and want to make America great again." All caps: "Senators Bray, Good, and the others to be released to the public later this afternoon. Should do their job and do it now. If not, let's get them out of office ASAP as soon as possible."

Todd Huff: So the political lines have been drawn. And I'll say, listen, I know some of you—some of you are going to pick up the phone or go to your email and send messages to Rod Bray.

Todd Huff: Listen to me. And I know this is only for the fringe—a couple of people—but this doesn't need to be vitriolic. But we need to hold these folks accountable, too. Doesn't mean you can't be to the point. It doesn't mean that you can't voice your anger, frustration—just your desire to see transparency in your government over this important topic.

Todd Huff: Doesn't mean that you can't just state it clearly. That's fine, but this doesn't need to be—we don't need heat mail or anything like that. That's important to me. I've voiced my displeasure. I voiced my displeasure with Rod. He's welcome to come on this program. He hasn't responded. He hasn't responded. More importantly, forget about me. He hasn't responded to you. He sent us a statement. There you go. We don't have the votes. Let's move on.

Todd Huff: No, that's not the way that this is going to work. Rod, and I think you're about to find that out. Now that Trump has entered the mix, you better rethink this strategy. You better rethink this strategy. I would highly recommend that you call the session. Let us see. Let us see. Be on record. If you think it's a bad idea, fine. Explain why it is. Explain why it is.

Todd Huff: I'm going to tell you why I think it's absolutely necessary. And making sure we save our constitutional republic, and I'm not elected by the people. If I can do it, why can't you do it, Rod? You can do it. Here you don't have to—you can ignore me forever, but you can do it in more than just a simple statement saying we don't have the votes.

Todd Huff: How do you know? You haven't called the session; you haven't had the debate; you haven't drawn the specific maps so far as I know—what are you against? You don't have the votes for what? There's nothing that exists yet.

Todd Huff: The special session is designed to specify what that is, and then you can go from there. Tell us if it's wrong. Just tell us if it's wrong. Tell us something. Tell us something. Show leadership. This is completely inexcusable for this position in the U.S., in the state Senate. Absolutely inexcusable. Honestly not worthy of the position based upon this and this alone.

Todd Huff: Friends, I got to take a time out here. In just a moment. But before I do that, I want to remind you I know many of you are dealing with discomfort. There's a lot of confusion about ways to handle discomfort. Confusion about Kratom, which you've probably heard the headlines—most of them are based on synthetic junk that isn't real Kratom at all.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): Christopher's Organic Botanicals Real Kratom is safe when it's natural and tested and handled with care and doesn't have the synthetic junk that's in there. That's what you get from Christopher's Organic Botanicals. There are laws. It's legal in most of the states, but it's illegal in some. Legal even currently in the state of Indiana, but they're looking, apparently—I've been told—that this is being reconsidered now that they understand what real Kratom versus synthetic stuff is.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): Christopher's Organic Botanicals If you're looking for a trusted herbal option that's been used for generations, if you're looking for something that doesn't come with a warning label like some of these prescription drugs that's a mile long, start with the Kratom starter pack. Use coupon code TODD HUFF to get 10% off. Do your research, too, folks. You can do it at ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com—that's ChristophersOrganicBotanicals.com.

Todd Huff: I want you to be aware of the options and do what you think is best. That's the beauty of conservatism. Christopher's Organic Botanicals.com—truth, transparency and tradition, my friends. All right, so I'm going to list next segment we're going to go through and we're going to say—We're going to talk about what's at stake here. We're going to talk about why this specifically—why redistricting is important. Why it needs to be done. And I'm going to do that.

Todd Huff: I'm going to do that specifically, which is more than we've gotten from the Senate here—more than we've gotten from Rod Bray. I'm not just going to say I think we have the votes or we don't. I'm going to tell you why I think it's a good idea and why I think it needs to be pursued. Quick time out, though. Got to take a break, my friends. Back here in just a minute.

Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. You know that some politicians, as we've discussed so far this program, are stuck in the 1950s, thinking that this is 1950s politics, 1960s politics, while some of us are focused on saving this constitutional republic, understanding the dire straits that it is in and understanding why they are in we are in those dire straits.

Todd Huff: So going to continue this conversation, talking here specifically about the Indiana state Senate's announcement that they're not going to be considering redistricting here in the state, and I'll get to that, my friends, in a moment. I'm going to tell you why I think they absolutely should. And listen, I challenge Rod Bray or any other Republican senator who's against this who doesn't want to go on record and wants to stay in the murky middle—I encourage you to tell me why I'm wrong.

Todd Huff: You could come on this program. You can just post it. You don't have to acknowledge me. I'm irrelevant here. What's relevant is what you announced to the people that you represent in this state—that's what's relevant—and the answers that you've given thus far are pathetic. And this may sound a little heavy-handed to some people, and I don't really care. I'm not in the mood to really—it just doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter to me.

Todd Huff: This is, I think, an abdication of duty and responsibility by Rod Bray and others. I don't know how to make this anymore. I am disgusted by this, if I'm being quite honest. But they can tell the people why I'm wrong. Tell them. Tell them. Don't just hide behind it—say we're not going to vote on it.

Todd Huff: Be men, be leaders. Step up and explain it just like I'm doing on here by the way, and I'm not elected. Friends. Let's be honest. When your financial world starts getting a little more complicated, you need more than one size fits all advice. That's where Full Suite Wealth shines.

Todd Huff: I said when Trump was elected, there were two problems in the Republican Party. One is that elected officials were not conservative enough. They got to D.C., suddenly decided they wanted to become leftist or liberal Democrats—probably not leftists—maybe some of them. But they realized, you know what? It's easier to go along and get along than it is to fight and stand on principle. The media can be mean.

Todd Huff: To me and all this kind of stuff. And the other is? Well, the first is this, that they weren't principled enough to begin with. The second is maybe their principal, but they're just not tough enough. And Trump came on the scene. Trump was tough enough. And if you think about what we've accomplished because of Donald Trump, and I know he's not a perfect conservative—I've never suggested that he was. But I would say the top 500 things that need to be addressed, Trump aligns with conservative thought on.

Todd Huff: And so that's always—I've never understood the never-Trumpers. I've been through this. I don't want to go through that today, but let me say this. Let me say this. We are in the midst of an ideological battle that is nothing like what we've experienced, at least in recent times. Recent years. We aren't just disagreeing about preferred tax rates and things around the edges. We have people who absolutely hate this country as founded. It's preposterous. I've been through this.

Todd Huff: They hate this country as founded. They want to remake this nation into something different. They want to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with liberal justices so that they can override the concurrent court that is of course comprised of five or maybe six people who care about the Constitution. What's at stake here is abortion on demand. What's at stake here is gender surgery on minors. These are not moderate positions.

Todd Huff: And by the way, what's the compromise on this? What are the compromise on some of these issues? Marxist style ideological system. Think about Zoron, mom, Donnie—that is who a lot of these elected officials are who they agree with, what they would like to see done in our nation in your cities. That's what they would like to see done.

Todd Huff: My friends, it is a dangerous thing, and we're going to witness New York come crashing to the ground here. I hate to say it, I do. It's a fantastic city. They're going to destroy it.

Todd Huff: And you know what? Even worse, so they will destroy this country if they were given the power to do so. Open borders. Think about the crime, the drugs, the sex trafficking—all of that, all of that was allowed to happen, let this sink in—all of that was allowed to happen for decades because of weak politicians.

Todd Huff: You can say the Democrats wanted it, but you could also say the Republicans didn't stop it until a guy named Donald Trump stepped onto the scene and showed the Republicans how to do it, folks.

Todd Huff: We're talking about collectivism, massive spending, spending that we will never recover from. These things are all hanging in the balance and a weaponization of the government which is coming, which is absolutely coming if we don't do something to stop it.

Todd Huff: That's what's at stake here. That is what is at stake here. There is nothing that says one district should be Republican or Democrat candidates have to win.

Todd Huff: Whatever these districts are drawn to, these districts can be redrawn and the people can vote. You can debate this. You can have this done in the open, Rod, not just in secret. Indiana Senate Republicans had this debate. If the argument doesn't support it, if the people don't support it, then you can vote against it. Do not run from it. That's not leadership.

Todd Huff: What you're doing right now is not leadership; it is candidly pathetic. Pathetic. Why can't you do what I just did? Share your thoughts. Don't be cowardly. I got to go. SDG.
