Micah Beckwith on Redistricting and Indiana’s Voice

My friends,

I had a great conversation today with Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith, and I’ve got to tell you — this episode digs deep into something most people don’t know much about: how redistricting impacts your voice in Washington.

Micah and I talked about why Indiana’s current congressional maps don’t tell the real story of who we are as a state, and why Governor Mike Braun’s call for a special session could be a pivotal moment for Hoosiers.

This isn’t just about lines on a map. It’s about the balance of power, representation, and whether or not your state’s voice actually matters in Congress. We even went into how the 17th Amendment changed the relationship between states and Washington — and why that still matters today.

We can’t just assume that our values will be represented unless we speak up and get involved. Redistricting might sound like a dry topic, but as Micah reminded us, it’s one of the most important ways our state stays connected to its people — and to its principles.

This is one of those moments where paying attention matters. Because if we don’t, someone else will — and they’ll be more than happy to draw the lines for us.

You’ll also hear Micah open up about faith in government, how we stay grounded as conservatives in a political culture that seems to have lost its moral compass, and what it means to engage with both conviction and humility.

This one’s worth a listen.

You know I’m conservative, not bitter.

I’m not a yeller. And I don’t engage in personal attacks. In fact, some of you may think I’m too polite or understanding!

Recently, I even had a Democrat running for Congress, Shelby Campbell, join me. She mocked Charlie Kirk’s death, but she did apologize. Sort of. But to her credit, she came on. I treated her respectfully and let her speak without interruption.

Every now and then, folks write in to challenge something I’ve said. I welcome that. I love a good discussion.

But here’s the thing — I can’t get into long back-and-forths in private messages. My goal is to serve as many people as possible, which means I try to bring these conversations out into the open. That usually means inviting guests onto the Toddcast or sharing parts of our exchange publicly — in the newsletter or on social media.

The problem? Hardly anyone on the Left takes me up on it. Outside of Shelby, I can’t think of one who hasn’t found an excuse to back out. It’s just me — “little ole Todd” — and still, they run for the hills.

All I’m asking for is a human conversation. That’s it. As I often say, so far as it depends on me, we can be friends. But more often than not, I’ve found they just don’t want to be. That’s fine, but shouldn’t we at least try to navigate the chasm that stands between us?

If you know someone on the Left willing to have an honest conversation — or if you are that person — visit toddhuffshow.com/guests and let’s talk.

My friends, Steve Bannon has doubled down in a recent interview, insisting that President Trump will serve a third term.

Bannon said Trump will run, Democrats will sue, lower courts will side with them, and the Supreme Court would make a final ruling.

He predicts that five or six justices would rule in Trump’s favor, allowing him to run a fourth time. Bannon has also said that Trump’s chances of winning a third term are higher than his odds of winning his first two.

Now, I’m skeptical about this, and I don’t think it’s going to happen. But maybe I’m wrong.

If it does, though, can you imagine the consequences of this ruling? Democrats would become even more unhinged, and the political landscape would become even more volatile and divisive.

We live in wild, wild times, my friends. Buckle up.
