Todd Herman guest hosted for Clay & Buck for the second of back-to-back days as 2022 dwindled down to its final hours. Todd is a radio show host and digital political strategist who long-time listeners will recall enjoying when he filled in behind the Golden EIB Microphone for Rush Limbaugh.

Listen to “My apology to the quiet soldiers of private heroics – A Best of Show and a request that you and I remember these people in ourEp_538_Hour 2” on Spreaker.

Visit the Emerald City Exile at ToddHermanShow.com and @ToddEHermanShow on Twitter. Meanwhile, he kept us all up to date on the latest news happening, and sent a message to the people in power that they’d better start pursuing some believability.

.@HawleyMO: The FBI deliberately interfered not one, but two separate presidential elections… there have got to be repercussions for that.

We’re going to have to have a conversation about the future of the FBI and what it’s doing in our democracy. pic.twitter.com/I3WOcCC3XN

In Arizona, it appears it’s okay to have no idea how many ballots were collected on which date.

“Does anybody know when those ballots leaving the voting centers, how many are in the bins?”

“…No.”

This is a MAJOR problem!

Also in Arizona, a gentleman named Kenneth Mayer was a so-called “expert witness” who actually didn’t witness anything.

People are balkanizing. Jesse Kelly, a regular contributor to the Clay & Buck show, advises that people do just that. Todd says that life in “The High Mountains of Free America” is remarkably different than the City-States.

The House, now supposedly controlled by supposed Republicans, must make the entire covid affair one of their top priorities. The biomedical-security state is the pin in the grenade of tyranny; unless we replace the pin, it blows up.

That poor guy just died of a heart attack at 37.

Yes, THAT guy.

Died of a heart attack.

At 37.

I know, he looks so unhealthy.

Was he jabbed? He went to St. Barts in summer 2021, when you couldn’t go unless you were vaccinated. So that sounds like yes.

Dr. Andrew Bostom joined Todd to discuss the grotesque injustice of Twitter’s suspension of many accounts, including his own, due to alleged covid “misinformation” i.e., evidence-based data rebutting the warped, but “accepted” narrative.

This man knows kids are too young to understand the stakes of being sterilized but he demands that people be censored for saying that.

Wow.

Rachel Levine advocates for information censorship, asking healthcare professionals to stop “health misinformation” and “collectively advocate for our tech companies to create a healthier, cleaner, information environment.”

When the demand for real racism exceeds the supply, we get garbage phrases like “glass cliffs” as we hear from MSNBC about two black women at the very top of their careers.
• MSNBC: Justice Jackson and Black Woman Harvard Prez Are Victims Of ‘Glass Cliff!’
• PowerLine Blog: Stanford University has issued an apology for discriminating against Jewish people in the 1950’s. Funny thing, though, Stanford is STILL discriminating by race and they are probably STILL doing it to Jewish people.
• HHS: Whites Are Giving Non-Whites Alzheimer’s Through ‘Racism’
• Vice: ‘This Is Our Protest’: Black People Are Taking Shrooms to Heal From Racism; As more cities decriminalize or legalize psilocybin, Black people are claiming space in the wider psychedelic movement and the outdoors.

The Left hates ALL energy that actually works. Wonder why!

Climate activists said New England could shut down its nuclear, coal, and natural gas plants and be fine

Now, it’s getting 34% of its electricity from burning oil, which is dirtier, less efficient, and more expensive than coal
