My friends,
We’re now on Day 29 of the Schumer Shutdown, and I’ve got to tell you — this isn’t some mysterious congressional stalemate. This is a political strategy, plain and simple.
Senate Democrats have voted thirteen times to keep the government closed. Thirteen. They’re betting that the longer Americans feel the pain, the more frustrated they’ll become with Republicans and President Trump—who Democrats insist have enough political power to end the shutdown. It’s cynical, and it’s exactly the kind of political gamesmanship that makes Americans lose faith in Washington.
Even lifelong Democrats are waking up. A union Democrat from Philadelphia — “Lynn in Philly” — called into C-SPAN and said it perfectly: Democrat Senators are “holding Americans hostage.” She’s right. And even Jake Tapper, of all people, pressed a Democrat congresswoman to explain why they’re blocking votes to reopen the government. The cracks are starting to show, my friends.
This is a Democrat-led shutdown, and the facts don’t lie. Thirteen votes. Same funding levels. One side refusing to budge — and it’s not the Republicans.
Democrats are talking about Trump being a king — but if they want him to solve this problem, they’re making him a king. This is Congress’s mess to fix.
In the second half of today’s show, I shifted gears to talk about election integrity — and it’s all connected. The Department of Justice is demanding that six states clean up their voter rolls or face lawsuits. And somehow, the blue states are pushing back, saying the federal government “can’t be trusted” with the data.
Let me ask you: if the data is too sensitive to share, why collect it in the first place Clean, accurate voter rolls aren’t a partisan issue — they’re a patriotic issue. Every legal vote should count — and only once. And every illegal vote should not count — at all.
We can’t build trust in our elections without first cleaning up the system that keeps track of who’s eligible to vote. This is common sense. And as we move toward 2026, these battles — over truth, fairness, and accountability — will define where our country goes next.
Conservative, not bitter.
Todd.

Quote of the Day
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Todd Talk: America’s Return to Law and Order on Immigration
My friends, President Trump has now physically deported over 527,000 illegal aliens, with another 1.6 million self-deporting. By year’s end, officials expect around 600,000 physical deportations, bringing the total number of deportations close to 2.5 million in 2025. We may fall just short of that, but it’s still a major shift.
This is exactly what the American people voted for. We’re finally returning to a nation of laws, not selective enforcement—or selective non-enforcement.
The fight was never about legal immigration. It’s always been about illegal immigration. And every American should oppose that by definition.
If someone wants open borders, then change the law. Don’t ignore it.
We’re in a fight for truth, law, and justice—and right now, my friends, the good guys are winning.
My Rules for Guests on The Todd Huff Show
One of the things we’re actively working on is bringing more guests onto the program. Conversations matter — they help us sharpen ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore what’s really happening in our culture and our country.
We’ve had a wide range of guests over the years — from comedians and actresses to political figures, commentators, and others who simply have something compelling or interesting to say. Sometimes I agree with them, sometimes I don’t — and that’s perfectly fine with me.
We’ve also added someone new to help with guest communication and scheduling. Her name is Gail and she’s helping us coordinate interviews and manage outreach so we can feature even more engaging voices on the show.
And of course, we’re always open to your input. If there’s someone you think we should have on — someone interesting, engaging, or part of the public conversation — let us know by responding to this email or recommending a guest here.
That said, I want you, the listener and reader, to know exactly how I approach interviews. So here are my rules for guests on The Todd Huff Show. This is a working list and it’s not necessarily comprehensive. (What rules do you recommend adding?)
Rule #1: An invitation is not an endorsement.
If I invite someone on the show, it doesn’t mean I agree — or disagree — with them. My mission has always been to help people hear and receive truth. And to do that, we’ve got to allow the free expression of ideas without the screaming, name-calling, and emotional chaos that so often drowns out reasoned conversation.
Rule #2: The guest gets to speak.
When I have a guest, I want to listen. The interview isn’t meant to be a shouting match or a “gotcha” moment. I can always share my full take later during a monologue segment. Sometimes I’ll press a guest on a point or two — that’s part of honest dialogue — but the goal is clarity, not combat.
Rule #3: I won’t be anyone’s pawn.
If someone tries to use the show for pure political theater, to spout talking points, or to dodge the truth, I’ll call it out. You deserve more than polished spin. You deserve honesty.
Rule #4: My job isn’t to win elections — it’s to pursue truth.
This one might ruffle some feathers. I might have guests who aren’t conservatives or Republicans, but who say things that resonate with our audience or reveal important truths. That’s okay. It’s not my role to protect a political party — it’s my role to advance constitutional conservatism and help people think clearly about what’s true and right. Winning elections is the job of political parties and campaigns. My job is to help people hear and receive truth.
At the end of the day, this show isn’t about scoring cheap political points. It’s about finding them — the points of truth, reason, and freedom that hold this great republic together.
