The Stack: Lawlessness by Design and the Fight to Restore Order
Lawlessness in America didn’t appear overnight—it was cultivated through weak safeguards, political incentives, and leaders willing to exploit loopholes for power. On today’s The Todd Huff Show, Todd Huff walks through three major areas where this breakdown is most visible: elections, immigration, and federal programs. Using recent headlines involving Donald Trump, Chuck Schumer, and J.D.
Vance, Todd explains how constitutional authority has been distorted and why the media consistently misrepresents enforcement as extremism. From election standards and voter ID, to the abuse of asylum law under the Biden administration, to staggering fraud inside Medicare home health programs, the pattern is unmistakable.
This episode argues that conservatives are closer than ever to restoring order—not through anger or chaos, but by reasserting law, accountability, and constitutional truth before the opportunity slips away.

📝 Transcript: Lawlessness by Design and the Fight to Restore Order
The Todd Huff Show – February 4, 2026
Host: Todd Huff
Todd Huff: Yes, my friends, lawlessness has embedded itself. Embedded itself here in the American system, not because the system itself is broken. The system itself—the system is set up with our founders—is a wonderful system. What’s happened is we are paying the consequences now for collectively. I don’t mean you individually, but maybe some out there. We have collectively fallen asleep. Over the course of time, many people are waking up. Many have awakened to what is going on, to the games that are being played, to the corruption that exists in our nation’s capital and our state houses and so forth.
Todd Huff: And today I’m going to talk about three issues that illustrate this in the headlines. Elections, immigration, and federal programs, where weakened safeguards or political incentives for personal gain reward exploitation instead of ensuring compliance and law and order. Not blind rage and emotion like you see coming from the folks on the radical left. No temper tantrums here, as they throw out in our nation’s streets. Not just rhetoric, friends. This is a problem with the way the structure is being abused.
Todd Huff: The people who have control of the levers of power have caused chaos in your life, have caused chaos in my life. And I want to talk about that today because I do think—I do think that in my lifetime, we have never been as close to solving this problem. I’m not saying it’s close to being solved, but we’ve never been closer to solving it than we are right now. And we are about to enter a tumultuous time that we can fix these problems, or we can at least move towards fixing them, or we can run for the hills and go and cower in the corner.
Todd Huff: Like, for example, some senators have done here. My state, my senator, Rod Bray, when it came to redistricting. This is why leadership matters. This is the moment, my friends. This is the moment we’ve gotten here. You know, when I started this program 10 years ago, I wanted to talk about the issues. I wanted to talk about issues from a conservative, flyover country, Midwesterner, heartland perspective. Right. A common sense perspective.
Todd Huff: That’s what I wanted to do. And I wanted to move the needle in the direction of truth. That’s the mission of this program, to help people hear and receive truth. But what I didn’t know when I picked up the microphone over 10 years ago and started doing this, I didn’t anticipate some of the massive gains we were going to have because of a candidate—now a politician—like Donald J. Trump. He has changed the game. He has changed the calculus, and we are now on the precipice.
Todd Huff: I’m not predicting that we will succeed, but we are on the precipice of being able to actually fix these underlying problems that could radically transform, in a good way, the direction that this nation is taking. And I am here for it. We need to buckle up. We need to take a deep breath, because what happens between now, February 4th, and Election Day in November will potentially change the trajectory for the better, or it could change it for the worse if these lunatics regain power.
Todd Huff: That’s what, my friends, we’re going to talk about here today. One of the biggest challenges we face as conservatives is finding ways to ensure that our values align with the way that we live our lives, the things that we do in day-to-day life. That includes the way that we invest our money, how we invest our money, where we invest our money. That’s why I love what 4:8 Financial is doing. They’re doing a really good thing here, and I’ve talked about this for a while.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): But listen carefully to what I’m telling you, because these little things do make a difference. In the end, these things make a difference. They specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out companies that don’t align with biblical faith, biblical values, conservative principles, so that we’re not funding things we go completely against—or that go completely against what we believe in. And that means the agenda of these radicals, my friends.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): They do the heavy lifting for us at 4:8 Financial. All we have to do is complete an assessment. They align our investments with our purpose and goals. And the best place to start is just to get an analysis—an analysis of what your investments, where they are today, do they align with your values or not? Are you funding the opposition a little bit, none at all, or a lot with your investments?
Todd Huff (Sponsor): Is that important to know so that you can make—listen—you can still make money in other ways, and you won’t be giving fuel to the political enemies we have here today. So all you have to do is head over to https://48financial.com/todd. That’s https://48financial.com/todd. That’s where the calculator is, the assessment tool, I guess. Again, https://48financial.com/todd, because your money, my friends, should work for your values and certainly not against them.
Todd Huff: So I want to start today—there was a headline. This made waves yesterday. Trump joined Dan Bongino, who has relaunched his program after his short stint at the FBI. Headline here, FoxNews.com: Trump urges Republicans to nationalize voting. Chuck Schumer calls Trump’s comments outlandishly illegal, as White House clarifies. Okay. You know the routine here, by the way.
Todd Huff: I’ve gone through this whole thing, and again, I forget the name of the person who first introduced this way of talking about this, and I think it’s fantastic. I think it’s brilliant. I did not come up with it. I’m going to repeat it here though. She wrote—I think it was in a piece in The Atlantic, maybe back in 2016, 2017, 2018—somewhere around there. She said Trump supporters—I'm paraphrasing here—but basically, Trump supporters take Trump seriously, but not literally. Trump’s opponents take him literally, but not seriously. And that’s why they get so caught up in the details. And the people who support him understand that he is doing a lot of things. Sometimes he’s just trying to stir the waters, which is what I think he’s doing now.
Todd Huff: I think that there’s a reason for this. I don’t think he’s just trying to do it for the heck of it. I think he’s stirring the pot here, so to speak, because exactly what I talked about at the opening—we’re at this precipice. I mean, we are standing at the decision point again as we go into 2026. And this has to be framed properly, and we have to have real leaders. Real principled individuals who are prepared to be elected to Congress, to campaign, to run for the Senate, the House of Representatives, whatever, and to win these seats. And not just to win, but then to do something about it. We stand at a crossroads. We do. We stand at a crossroads that in my lifetime now—you could say this is an extended period of time—but this, for the first time in forever, conservatives are at a crossroads.
Todd Huff: They are one step away from eradicating a lot of the garbage and the nonsense that’s been happening in this country over the many, many decades. So I’m going to read this article, give you context, talk about this, and I want to talk about two other issues that are related to this along the way as well. President Donald Trump urged Republicans to, quote, “take over and nationalize voting” on Monday. Trump made the comments during an interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Under the Constitution, the article says here, states set the rules for both federal and state elections, establishing the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Todd Huff: Let me pause. That is true. That is true. But the Constitution also states—also states here—where do I have this? In the stack of stuff. You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s a—hold on here. Hold on here. I’ve got it somewhere. But the Constitution explicitly states that the Congress—the federal Congress—has the authority to make or alter general rules for the election. We’re looking at Article I, Section 4. So states run the elections—times and manner—but Congress can set rules, can alter rules.
Todd Huff: State authority includes things like where the polling locations are, the logistics of the election itself, the formats of the ballots, how that’s going to be administered. I should say from a practical perspective. Federal authority—there is some. They can set uniform standards. They can regulate federal election conditions. I mean, for example, we have a federal Election Day. All states didn’t just happen to agree upon that date and just happen to have that as Election Day. There are things that the federal government, the Congress, can absolutely do. They can force—by the way, this is the important one—citizenship and eligibility requirements. So administering an election is not the same as setting all the conditions. Running the election is not the same as setting the standards.
Todd Huff: And so states absolutely have rights to how they manage it, but Congress also has the explicit right to set certain standards, certain provisions, certain rules by which all states— I mean, you can imagine if every state had a completely different set of rules for how an election is run. There has to be some standardization. To say these are the seats that we’re putting on your ballot, right? This is how—you—these are the people you’re voting for. These are the rules. We have a time frame in which we expect the election itself to end. Those sorts of things. Who can vote in the election? Absolutely those things matter, and the U.S. Congress should be able to do that.
Todd Huff: So Fox left that part out of this, because I’ve added that to this article. They did not put that in here. “Republicans,” Trump says, “should say we want to take over.” Trump told Bongino. “We should take over the voting in at least many, 15 places,” he says. “Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” “We have states that are so crooked, and they’re counting. They’re counting votes.” So Trump’s laying out a general problem here. The problem is Trump says, “Look, we have elections that are being run by people that want a predetermined outcome.” Right? We all want to win the election. But there are some people who say we’ll do whatever it takes, as long as it takes us—so long as it takes Trump or takes Republicans—out of political office.
Todd Huff: And you can begin to see some of the gamesmanship. Things like giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and so forth. In your state, that sounds—I guess at first glance, that may sound like, well, you know, I don’t see it that way—but someone says, “Well, you know, they ought to be able to drive if they’re here.” I guess it’s crazy to me, but that’s a tool by which they can start. They could, in theory— in fact, if you listen to people who run elections, they will tell you that that allows some of these folks to be able to register to vote.
Todd Huff: They have a photo ID. They’ve got the address. They just check a box that says that they’re a citizen. They attest to it. What are you going to do about it? I mean, it’s crazy. Nothing ever happens with these things. It’s just—they’re totally content with the way the system runs. And so Trump comes in and he uses big language. Trump says we should take over the voting. Now let me pause. Let me pause for a second. There will not be an effort by Congress to take over the states and their ability to run their own elections. That’s not what’s happening here.
Todd Huff: Trump is using language like this intentionally to bring attention to this issue because it’s important. Let me pause and remind you. When some of these shenanigans happened back in 2020, people who simply had questions—like me, like many of you—if you asked those questions, if you posed a question on social media, you paid a consequence. Your content was taken down. You were shadow banned. You were whatever, right? Your account may have been locked and taken down and so forth. Even if you shared articles or opinions of people who said that there were some shady things happening, talked about 2000 Mules or whatever.
Todd Huff: I had many videos taken down from YouTube. I think Facebook hit me. To me, the biggest problem, the worst offender in my experience, was YouTube. There was a point where they had a sign—I’m telling you—I had someone going through my videos every day. During the aftermath of January 6, or even in the aftermath of the 2020 election through January 6, you were not allowed to say certain things or you paid the consequence. And so now we haven’t been allowed to have this conversation in a free and open way.
Todd Huff: Because there were the seven pillars of propaganda coordinating and colluding to make sure that we did not question the validity of certain election outcomes. No matter how crazy bellwethers were, no matter how crazy certain things seemed to be—the 3 a.m. vote drop or anything else—we couldn’t even raise questions. Things that were obviously at least curious—we weren’t allowed to say anything and ask any questions about it. I remember there was an elected official—I believe it was Jeff Duncan. I’m apologizing if that’s not who it was—but an elected official in Georgia who said if he had the opportunity.
Todd Huff: I remember talking about this. He said if I could just explain, if I had five minutes with every voter in Georgia, I could eliminate any concerns they had about election integrity. What we had here in Georgia was the right outcome. We have every reason in the world to believe it. I just can’t go out there and explain it to every Georgian because I don’t have the time. And I remember saying to this knucklehead, “Well, have you heard of media? Have you heard of social media? Have you heard of creating videos?”
Todd Huff: If you could convince everybody simply in five minutes, then why don’t you put that five-minute content into a video and post it and make media appearances? They would have loved to have had you out there telling us—telling your citizens—how they should have trusted the results of the 2020 election. But he never did it. He never did it and instead used his media appearances to tell the media that he could convince people very easily in five minutes if he could sit down with them one on one. Why not do it there?
Todd Huff: These are questions that reasonable people, that thoughtful people have. “Well, why doesn’t he just do that? Just do that.” Don’t come on here and tell me, “If I had the opportunity.” You have the opportunity, dude. Mr. Duncan, respectfully, didn’t use your time for that. You know how much grief that would have saved people in politics and people in media if they could get the people watching their stupid content to say, “Wow, this election was 100 percent legitimate and the safest in U.S. history.” But see, we weren’t allowed to have that conversation. And now Trump’s not going to let it go away. And now Trump’s going to use words like “nationalize the election.” Now, what Trump is talking about—again, Trump starts a bar fight and leaves the bar. That’s what he does a lot of times.
Todd Huff: But what he’s saying—well, of course, it caused a reaction. It says here, of course, Schumer responded just a few hours ago. Chuck Schumer says, “Donald Trump said he wants to nationalize elections around the country.” That’s what Trump said. “You think he believes in democracy?” he said. “We want to take over,” the Republicans want to nationalize the voting “Does Donald Trump need a copy of the Constitution?” “What he is saying is outlandishly illegal.” And listen, if you’re saying the federalization of all elections—if that’s literally, again, what Trump means—then he’s wrong. But again, he’s forcing the conversation.
Todd Huff: I’m tired of trying to explain this to people who don’t want to understand. Trump has forced the conversation, and he’s highlighting it. A spokesperson came out later, Abigail Jackson, and she clarified to ABC News what Trump was getting at. And this is, again, standard operating procedure. Go set the room on fire. Go start the bar fight. And then have the PR people come in and give more context and reframe it so that you can see what the official position is, while Trump’s trying to do something different. Trump’s trying to get energy behind this, trying to draw attention to this, and he’s done that.
Todd Huff: So she comes out—Abigail Jackson comes out—and she says this, or she clarified Trump’s comments. She says President Trump cares deeply about the safety and security of our elections. That’s why he’s urged Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which we talked about a lot yesterday. You can listen to that episode from February 3. And other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting. By the way, that’s totally legitimate as well under our Constitution. They could pass that. That’s a standard rule for states to follow without managing and taking control of elections.
Todd Huff: But on a larger level, this is taking control of the way that elections are going to—some of the standards elections have to meet. And in this sense, if Trump means it in this sense, as I think he does, he doesn’t care. Listen, he doesn’t care if people take him out of context, because it’s forcing this conversation. This is what he’s really after. Uniform standard photo ID, the SAVE Act, those things passing. She continues in her response—her explanation of Trump’s comments—prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting.
Todd Huff: Right? So not just ballots just being dropped out there in the mail stream and then coming back with signatures on them that, in many cases—or some cases—aren’t even signature verified. It’s craziness. Trump wants to end all that. If you can’t vote, if you’re going to be out of town or there’s some reason you can’t vote in person, then you can require or request a mail-in ballot. But you can’t just have the state dropping these things in the mail stream. That’s crazy.
Todd Huff: And she also said end the practice of ballot harvesting, which is another problem. Where people go out and they take people—or either take people a ballot or people have their ballot—and then they collect them, and then they take them to a polling station or whatever and drop those ballots off. There’s obviously a lot of problems that can come from that. So time out. I looked down and realized I’ve got to wrap it up here because I’m reaching the end of our first segment. Friends, MyPillow. You know Mike Lindell? MyPillow. He’s now running for governor of the state of Minnesota. He’s been targeted by these leftist lunatics, these anti-American commies and fascists out there, those who want to destroy his business and destroy his name.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): And undoubtedly destroy his candidacy. But he’s got a product and a company based right here in the good old U.S. of A. Actually, in the People’s Republic of Minnesota, trying to fight back there. He delivers a quality product built upon liberty. He’s an American. He loves this country. He’s a passionate guy. He makes wonderful products as well—pillows, sheets, slippers, you name it. My friends, https://mypillow.com. You can go there, use promo code Todd and save on the products you’ll find there. They’ve been a partner of ours for, I think, almost three years now. MyPillow.com. Promo code Todd will get you special offers. I’ve got to take a break, my friends. Back here in just a minute.
Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. I want to get into the other issues that I mentioned I was going to touch on today, but I want to make sure that I wrap up that first part correctly. How the insanity with the way that some of these rules for our elections—the fact that some places don’t require a photo ID, the fact that some people think checking a box, attesting to the fact that you’re a citizen, is somehow enough for the registration process versus proving with documents that you are an American citizen.
Todd Huff: I mean, just compare that. Compare that to when you need to change—what if you’ve got to change your driver’s license? The driver’s license laws—Oz? Is that where you have to take all these documents after you’ve been married and you have a name change? Isn’t that a headache? I mean, think of the number of things. If you’re a married woman and you’ve changed your name and you’ve had to put all these things together and take documents to the post office.
Todd Huff: The Real ID—I’ve had problems with the Real ID. What on earth is so off-putting about having people prove with documents that they’re a citizen when they register to vote? None of this makes sense to a sane world. Mail-in voting—if you can’t see the potential pitfalls of mail-in voting, I don’t know what to say. I mean, you drop a bunch of ballots out into the mail stream, and you get them back, and you assume because it’s got a signature on the bottom that that ballot was completed by the person who it was intended to be completed by. What proof do you have of this? This is craziness.
Todd Huff: Listen, I’m not saying that there should never be a ballot go through the mail. But to do it en masse is asking for trouble, and I don’t see how anyone with any lick of sense can say that that’s at least not a problematic thing. And of course, ballot harvesting—having one person collect many, many ballots and to do this multiple days over the course of a—well, now we have election season. We don’t even have election day because we’ve got early voting, mail-in voting, all this other stuff.
Todd Huff: Then you go back to 2020, and you had—you know—you had people in line wearing masks. We don’t even know who these people were. We know some people started wearing gloves to drop ballots off at the ballot box because it was discovered that they had fingerprints all over too many ballots and that sort of thing. To act like this is fine and that there are no problems here is preposterous. Ballot harvesting, photo ID, mail-in voting—no-excuse mail-in voting or just widespread “send in a ballot.” If mail-in voting is the primary method for voting in your state, as it is in California, I just don’t see how any reasonable person would be okay with this.
Todd Huff: And of course, the SAVE Act. That’s what Trump is really after. They don’t want to have a discussion on those things. They want to say Trump’s trying to take over the elections and make himself king. Well, he’s trying to take over the elections in this sense—if I can speak for him in this way—he’s trying to tell Congress to take over the rules, which again, I’m going to read for you. Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, U.S. Constitution. “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.” So that means the state legislature can determine the times, places, and manner of the elections.
Todd Huff: But then there’s this. But anytime you see the word “but,” you realize it’s about to contrast the following words with what was just written. It says, “But the Congress”—that’s talking about the U.S., the federal Congress—“may at any time, by law, make or alter such regulations.” Except as to the places of choosing Senators, which is interesting because that was written back at the time senators were selected by the state legislatures anyway. What matters here is that in this sense, Republicans—Congress, Senate—can “take over” the way that elections are run at the high level, and they can set certain standards.
Todd Huff: And we’ve gone through the SAVE Act, photo ID, ending mass mail-in ballots and invalid harvesting. They could do those things. They could do other things, too. But that’s what Trump is talking about. Ending the lawlessness, ending the opportunities that exist, the loopholes that have been created—created by the stupidity. The stupidity of—well, you could say Congress or the people that put them there. So that’s what Trump’s talking about. I’ve got another article that I want to get to here, another story here. You may have seen this. This is at RedState.com. Sorry, I’m copying this article to reopen it in my browser so I can talk about this.
Todd Huff: “JD Vance goes scorched earth on how asylum was misused under Biden.” Now, I talked to a friend about this recently. When you see—let me just tell you as a good rule of thumb—when you see a story come out about abuse of ICE agents or somebody who is being deported who was, quote, “here seeking asylum legally” and so forth. Listen, I’m not here to—you know me—I’m not a defender of the government, no matter who’s running it. But you should pause and say, “Why?” Have you ever wondered why the only time people have a problem with the government is when Trump’s running it?
Todd Huff: Some people would say, “Well, that’s because Trump’s running it the wrong way.” And I say, “How?” How is he running it the wrong way? He’s running it in a way that you don’t like. I know it’s got all the people in the media and on the left throwing temper tantrums, but who cares? I don’t take my cues from how upset those clowns and lunatics and make-believe journalists are. You explain to me why we are returning to a nation of law and order. Lawlessness is ending, my friend. So when you hear these allegations and you hear these sad stories, certainly there could be mistakes by ICE, one hundred percent. And sometimes there’s things that are gray area, where again we’ve talked about some of these tragic situations. Sometimes it could clearly be the fault of the person who is acting in a way that’s provocative to ICE. Sometimes there could be kind of a mixture, and who knows? Any number of things could happen.
Todd Huff: But for the clear-cut example of ICE just outright abusing its authority, I don’t—show me what that is. If you have it, show me. I’ve seen a lot of allegations. I’ve seen a lot of stories. I’ve seen stories of a girl, for example, sitting outside in handcuffs beside a car, crying, saying, “I’m a U.S. citizen. ICE has detained me.” Well, then you realize what happened was she was protecting her illegal alien boyfriend from getting apprehended by ICE. She was interfering. They apprehended her temporarily. They put her in handcuffs, and she was let go. Or what—they didn’t even charge her for trying to—for what she did.
Todd Huff: So there is always more to the story, and we’re never allowed to hear that. They get the value of the shock up front, right? There’s allegations of Trump and ICE tear-gassing schools or whatever. They say outlandish things, I think. A senator—a U.S. senator—made these comments the other day. What does that even mean? They want to paint the picture that kids are just there in class and ICE agents come in and drop a tear gas canister in there. It’s just crazy. This is not happening. So the same thing is true with what we’ve been told about asylum. Let me look at the article here. Vice President J.D. Vance was driving the left a bit crazy with the point he was making about asylum claims during an exchange on X with Democratic Representative Seth—oh boy—is it Magaziner? Magaziner. Rhode Island District Two.
Todd Huff: The conversation revolved around the case of the five-year-old boy, Liam Ramos. As we reported, the media claimed the child had been detained by ICE, as though the child was being targeted. In fact, as DHS explained, when they went to pick up the father, the father fled. So they weren’t going to leave the child out in the cold. And when they got the father, the child was kept with the father. So again, they say, “Look, ICE is cuffing and detaining these little boys, these little five-year-old boys.” Well, the story was the kid was with the father. The father was here illegally. The father took off. The kid was there by himself. What was ICE supposed to do, just leave the kid hanging out on the streets?
Todd Huff: They right here—but the media had no shame when they were pushing their narrative. So there was an argument about this. And I’m just—I’m up against the clock. I’ve got to take a break. I’m going to get to this, but I’ve got—I thought I could get it in this segment. I want to touch on one more thing as well.

He says, “It reminds me of when Margaret Brennan fact-checked me at the VP debate.” You know Margaret Brennan, and you know that she’s an activist, not a journalist. But he writes here, “If your position is that a person can claim asylum after traversing eight countries, and they are therefore legal immigrants because your president ignores the law and allows them to stay, then you’re advocating for an open border.”
Todd Huff: “The Biden-Harris administration literally created an app, CBP One, to digitize the violation of federal immigration law and allow anyone who claimed asylum to stay indefinitely. This is illegitimate, illegal, and the American people rejected it.” Now, he wrote that in response because they were having this debate about this child, Liam, the five-year-old boy that I referenced at the end of last segment. And the representative here said it’s important for everyone to know Liam’s parents didn’t enter the U.S. illegally.
Todd Huff: They presented at a port of entry, requested asylum, and were waiting for their hearing. “Many of the families ICE has been snatching off the streets are like this—immigrants who entered legally.” This is the point. The point is it was declared by edict to be legal by the former administration. But if you take everything that they declared to be legal—not by law, by the way—they literally were ignoring the law. They didn’t do anything. Look at how it took Trump basically twenty minutes to shut down the border. Biden claimed he couldn’t do it. Biden didn’t want to do it. As Trump said, we didn’t need new laws to secure the border. We just needed a new president. That is one hundred percent accurate. One hundred percent accurate, my friends.
Todd Huff: And so they’re manipulating us. They’re gaslighting us. The idea of seeking asylum doesn’t mean that you travel—if you’re having trouble in your home country—and listen, you could be very sympathetic to people and their struggles without wanting to say the only solution is to overwhelm our country. Overwhelm our country with having to take any person in the world at this point who’s seeking asylum. There’s eight—what is it—eight-plus billion people on Earth. They all can’t be American.
Todd Huff: That’s why I’ve said it’s much better for us to be exporting American ideas, things that have made this country great. The problem is, in many instances, we don’t have people in office—at least in the Biden administration this was true—who believed in these ideas. So they weren’t going to be exporting anything that would help these other countries. They were going to be exporting—or trying to import—some of the garbage that’s run, that’s used in some of these third-world socialist, communist hellholes.
Todd Huff: And that’s the difference. You don’t get to travel through. The idea of asylum is you go to the first place where you’re safe and can escape the danger. You don’t say, “I get a free pass to go into the United States,” and then the administration there totally ignores the laws for what this really is. And they give you a special pass. Trump says that’s not what this is. We are interpreting the law as it was written, as it was intended. Biden was making it up. Don’t claim that just because you came in at a certain time when the law was being ignored that the law is somehow now null and void or has changed. That’s what’s happening. That’s what’s being done to the American people. I mentioned, too, that there’s one more. I’m just going to be able to mention this one. And I won’t be able to get into it much today, but this stuff is in the stack of stuff, and I write about it in the daily column—or the daily newsletter, I should say—called The Inner Circle.
Todd Huff: You can sign up. That’s free on our website, https://toddhuffshow.com. But here we go. Headline here—listen to this. I’m talking about the way that government has been used at the beginning to create election messes, to where we can’t really have trust in our system. With immigration, with how we had been manipulated through the Biden administration with open borders, and now Trump is being accused of breaking the law by enforcing the law, by deporting people who never came here through an actual legal process.
Todd Huff: And then we’ve got all this fraud that’s out there in our systems, in our federal programs. Headline here at HotAir.com: “Fraud: Almost 20 percent of all Medicare home health care spending is in one county.” This is in Los Angeles, California. I think it’s 18 percent of all federal spending is being used on these home health care companies. I think within a four-block radius there’s forty-two of these. They don’t provide services. They provide services in people’s homes. And it appears there’s certainly evidence to at least ask questions. How did this happen? How are they getting all this money for doing the same service? They claim to be providing services in people’s homes, but people out there that have been poking around say this is not—there’s no evidence of this. Folks, we’re being lied to and misled in so many ways.
Todd Huff: I’ve got to go, though. SDG.
