Hmmm. I see what you mean. Maybe the problem is with the use of "to you" in these circumstances. Wouldn’t it be better to say “Let me introduce the next President of the United States," or "Gin, I am going to introduce the concept that there indeed may be no concepts."
"Let me introduce to you the next President of the United States" does not roll off of the tongue easily. The "to you" seems unnecessary and clumsy.
