The Todd Huff Show

Doug Jones (D) defeats Roy Moore (R) in contentious Alabama special election for Senate. The people have spoken, which is precisely the way this needed to be decided. Unpacking the reasons Republicans lost this seat. Who (or what) is to blame? Honest assessment vs spin. The Left may have held the moral high ground in this particular election because of individual character, but they don't hold the moral high ground when it comes to political ideas. Which ideas are moral?

Alabama special Senate election today. Fox News poll shows Doug Jones up 10 points, though most polls show Roy Moore up a few points. What will voters make of the sexual allegations against Roy Moore? Will unproven criminal allegations motivate people to make a decision that's not in their best political interests? Should it? Way of the Future Church seeks to create artificial intelligence (AI) god that people will worship. Mueller parody song sent to us by an anonymous individual. DOJ official's wife worked for firm behind anti-Trump dossier. Very serious questions of corruption arise from Mueller probe. Trump v CNN still entertains me. Sarah Huckabee Sanders v Jim "Very Fake News" Acosta. Trump bullied Dom Lemon? Walking back "bombshell" reports. Trump drinks 12 Diet Cokes/day?

Lindsey Vonn injured after saying last week she wasn't "skiing for Trump" in the Olympics. Waiting for Democrats to open an investigation into this impeachable offense. Senate GOP tax plan produces 100% marginal tax rates in some situations. A better way to frame the tax debate. Flat tax. Fair tax. Elimination of the entitlement mindset. Cutting spending. Changing what's acceptable from our government. Alabama election tomorrow. Roy Moore denies ever dating minors when he was an adult. Trump doing robocalls. Trump gets WaPo reporter to apologize after tweeting misleading picture. Governor Jerry Brown says Trump doesn't "fear the wrath of God" because he's not accepting the Left's narrative on climate change. Who doesn't fear God's wrath? Who's anti-science?

Why exactly did Al Franken resign? Says some allegations are untrue and others he "remembers differently." Representative Trent Franks to resign. Conflating these allegations. Seeking justice means that each case be reviewed individually, not lumped together. Fallout & violence following Trump's acknowledgement that Jerusalem is Israel's capital city. Nancy Pelosi thinks God is with the Democrats on DACA. Mitch McConnell says Steve Bannon can't get people elected. But McConnell doesn't do anything even when Republicans do get elected.

Trump declares Jerusalem the capital city of Israel & is moving US Embassy there. Fulfilling his campaign promise - and the promise of others (including Democrats). Political fallout. A short discussion of Israel & the City of Jerusalem's history & importance. Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael & Jesus. Al Green and 57 other House Democrats vote to impeach Trump. Psychiatrist says Trump needs to be evaluated because he is unstable & putting everyone at risk. Russia. The Democrats are happy to take whatever stops Trump and threatens his impeachment.  Lindsey Vonn, Colin Kaepernick & immaturity in sports.

Alabama Senate race enters final week. Doug Jones seems a little desperate, but the race is very close. Elections are about politics, and our criminal justice system is about assigning guilt for a crime. But AL voters are being asked to be judge & jury in a 40 year old case while sacrificing their political interests. Problem with Senate tax reform plan. Tax cuts are good, but we more fundamental change to the way we think about taxing & spending. Who knew that eating meat contributed to a society that promotes toxic masculinity?

Flynn plea moves us toward possible obstruction of justice charges. The only way to settle this with a sitting president is through impeachment proceedings. Andrew McCarthy & Alan Dershowitz are right in their assessments.  The Left & the Media decided long ago Trump needed impeached; they just needed to find the crime to fit the punishment. Supreme Court reinstates travel ban. Tax reform. The danger of criminalizing politics. Jim Acosta: "When journalists are attacked [by Trump], journalists have to resist." Obstruction of justice assumes justice is the objective.

First day back since my Grandpa Dink passed away last week. Senate passes tax reform. Reconciling differences in House & Senate bills. Michael Flynn pleads guilty. The Logan Act. Byron York article. Still no evidence of collusion before election. If Trump's team was wrong to talk with foreign leaders before entering the White House, why is it ok for Obama to privately meet with foreign leaders after leaving the White House? If either of these violates The Logan Act, which seems more likely to be in violation? Grandpa Dink's story. A perfect ending for a truly good man. Blessed by those who preceded us.

It's not uncommon for staffers to see Congressman John Conyers in his underwear. Something I can get behind: making Congress kid-safe by taking all locks off doors, removing pointy objects & putting windows everywhere. North Korea can hit any place on earth with a nuclear weapon? Trump v Chuck/Nancy. Political theater from a Republican for a change. No more excuses, Republicans. One result of this political tension has been increased engagement from the American people - and that's a good thing.

Trump mocks Elizabeth Warren at event honoring Navajo WWII code talkers. Calls her Pocahontas. Racial slur - or simply mocking Warren for trying to use an identity for career & political gain. Never proved she was Native American. I'm actually related to Pocahontas, so am I not the most qualified to comment? ... The Far Left thinks men are fundamentally flawed and that women are, in fact, superior. Their worldview versus the Christian worldview. Created in God's image, but we abused our power of choice. Sin. Joy Reid blames rural Americans for our political problems. Tough day for white Christian men in middle America I guess.
