You're listening to late night radio onthe s h R Media Network cushion.
There will be mature themes explored andpotentially adult language used. If Conservatorian words,
phrases, certain concepts, or rhetoricoffends you, tune out. Now,

(00:32):
Oh, guess what day it is? Guess what day is? Huh?
Anybody Trulie? Hey, guess whatday it is? Come on,
I know you can hear me.Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike,
What days of Mike mag neverthe thatthat I read your book, I drink

(00:55):
moosie. I call it bold talkfor one eye that fill your hand,
you son of a bitch. CaptainJunton Johnson Cops jumps in. Captain jumping.
Cop to just jumps up him,jus s up there, Juts jumps
and Captain and Captain jumps and JutsonCaptain captain jumping. No no, no,
no no no no no no notyet, not yet. Don't pass

(01:19):
out of me yet unless you realizethis means walk. Freedom is never more
than one generation away from extinction.We didn't pass it on to our children
in the bloodstream. The only waythey can inherit the freedom we have known
is if we fight for it,protect it, defend it, and then
handed to them with the well taughtlessons of how they in their lifetime must
do the same. And if youand I don't do this, and you

(01:42):
and I may well spend our sunsat years cutting our children and our children's
children what it once was like inAmerica when men were free. I have
come here to chew bubble gum andkick ass all part of bubble Welcome people,

(02:04):
Welcome, one at all. Anamazing show tonight. This is it.
This is the final show from California, the final show from Sacramento,
California for the shr Media Network.So I say this one final time from

(02:27):
here, Ladies and gentlemen, boysand girls, children of all ages,
Welcome to bz's Berserk Bobcatsaloon Radio Show, where I'm still broadcasting this final time
behind enemy lines and occupied California alwayspelled up with a K, but no
longer from downtown Shatramento in the originalSahar Media studios. Instead, my voice
emanates for the final time from theSouth Sacramento area, pending my final move

(02:53):
to a free state in one weekbefore warned what you're about to hear for
the next two hours consists of myopinion and no one else's. So the
saloon is serving stiff drinks. Facts, history, logic, rationality, proportion,
context, tradition, intent, andcommon sense. Remember, we don't

(03:15):
water our drinks, just like wedon't water our conversation. Politics, religion,
crime, culture, economics, race, sex, science, law.
We talk about it all right hereat the saloon, where the speech is
free, for the booze is not. In twenty twenty two, I am
done with bipartisanship and compromise. Ilove my country, but I have to

(03:38):
tell you this. I absure it'sleftist leaders and anybody who doesn't put America
and are lawful citizens first, obeythe US Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
uphold the rule of law, andembrace due process. Demarants leftists in
the American media maggots say that makesme a white supremacist terrorist extremist. But

(04:00):
you know what, as I saythe final time in this studio, if
loving my country makes me an extremist, then huh, so be it.
It's Saint Patrick's day. Everybody's gonnatell I would expect an Irish joke.
No, let's start off with Russianjokes. Oh, stop, stop,

(04:27):
stop. Let's start off with thisRussian joke. I am collecting stories that
I can actually prove are told amongthe Russian people. They make them up
themselves, they tell them between themselves. Reveals they've got a great sense of
humor, and they've also got alittle cynical attitude about things in their country.

(04:49):
The story was an American in aRussian arguing about their two countries.
And the American said, look,in my country, I can walk into
the Oval office. I can poundthe President's desk and say, mister presid
that I don't like the way you'rerunning our country. And a Russian said,
I can do that. The Americansaid you can. He says,
yes, I can go into theKremlin to the General Secretary's office, pound

(05:11):
his desk and say, mister GeneralSecretary, I don't like the way President
Reagan's running his country. I didn'ttell this one to Gorbachev. You know,
there's a ten year delay in theSoviet Union of delivery of an automobile,
and you go through quite a processwhen you're ready to buy, and

(05:32):
then you put up the money inadvance. This man, he laid down
his money and then the fella thatwas in charge said to him, Okay,
come back in ten years and getyour car. And he said morning
or afternoon. And the fellow behindthe counter said, well, ten years

(05:55):
from now, what difference does itmake, And he said, well,
the plumber's coming in the morning fastin less than one family out of seven,
and the Soviet Union owns an automobile. Most of the automobiles are driven
by the bureaucrats. So an orderwent out one day to the police that

(06:15):
anyone caught speeding, anyone, nomatter who, gets a ticket. Well.
Gorbachev came out of his country home, his daccha. He was late
getting to the Kremlin. There washis limousine and driver waiting. He told
the driver to get in the backseat. He drive it down the road he
went. They passed two motorcycle cops. One took out after him, and

(06:38):
pretty soon he's back with his buddy. And his buddy says, well,
did you give him a ticket?He said no, Well, he said
why not? Always said too himimportant, Well, he said, we're
told to give anybody a ticket,no matter who it is. Always said
no, No, this one was, well, he said, who was
it? He said, I couldn'trecognize him, but his driver was Gorbachev,

(07:00):
one of the heads of state thatI met with on this visit.
Tell me the story about the twofellows in the Soviet Union were walking down
the street and one of them says, have we really achieved full communism?
Is this? It? Is thisnow full communism? And the other one
said, oh, he don't know. It's things are gonna get a lot
worse. And that's why why dowhy do oh shut up? Why do

(07:25):
the standard jokes about the Irish today? Let's do something else. Oh,
while we're at it, let's alsostart with this, Hey jackass dot com.

Yay Lori the avis Hey Jackass dotCom Chicago Death Toll of the Dame

(08:56):
courtesy of Chicago mayor Lightfoot. Sowhile we're here, let's do this.
It's time for happy, happy storiesand good times. Have I got a
couple of happy stories for you sinceI'm leaving California, Let's begin in California

(09:18):
for those people left behind the curtain, so to speak. Let's start.
I have two stories about California.Let's start with this one. California parents
would have to tell schools about gunsat home under this law. So California
is pending another law where a CaliforniaState Senate bill would require parents of school

(09:43):
students to report any firearms in theirhomes if passed. SB nine oh six,
authored by Democrat Senator Anthony Porantino fromLa Kenyada, was introduced past Tuesday,
and he penned the proposed law,which aims to keep track of what
guns students may have access to intheir household in response to a recent rise

(10:07):
in school shootings in the state.Well, it's funny. This is back
on February third, and I don'tremember a whole host of school shootings.
It's just time to know where allof your guns are courtesy of your students.
And do you think some leftist studentsare going to rat out their parents?
My guess would be definitely yes.Hey, look who's on the line,

(10:31):
is it Ken McClinton, Are youthere, sir? I am here,
sir. He is an honor anda joy to be on your program.
BS. Well, thank you verymuch. I've got one more great
California story to read, and thenI want to go and hear about your
day. Here's a second story aboutCalifornia. This is going to go really

(10:52):
well, and if it does gowell, obviously it's going to sweep the
nation. What is it? Here'sa headline, Billions of genetically modified mosquitoes
may swarm California. As many astwo billion mosquitoes will be released in California
to help combat mosquito born diseases suchas yellow fever, ding and zeka.

(11:13):
Now this just came out seven daysago, so they're gonna do this very
very very soon. A swarm oftwo billion genetically modified mosquitoes could soon buzz
across California. Always spell over thek to help combat an invasive mosquito species
known to spread diseases such as ding, chickagunga, zica, and yellow fever.

(11:37):
Uh I hope I pronounced that oneright. I'm not sure. This
is what's crazy. The US EPAapproved this pilot project in California and Florida.
Okay, I don't feel so bad. We're sharing the craziness with Florida
to use non biting, genetically editedmale A d's agypti mosquitos to help combat

(12:03):
disease transmitting mosquitos of the same type. Ken mc clinton, welcome to the
show. Do you think this willgo well? Comma when you're screwing with
Mother Nature? Well, I justwant to say I actually went on a
date with one of those mosquitos,and I found out that it wasn't a
female, that was a male.So I just want to let everyone know

(12:24):
that quirkiness is going on with thatbiological stuff. You gotta be careful.
You gotta be careful. That's true. But on the other hand, because
of that, wasn't it winning allkinds of swimming awards? Well? Yeah,
and in fact, that mosquito heshe it, they live there and
all of the above. That mosquitoactually was nominated to be Woman of the

(12:48):
Year for news Week came in second. But you know, obviously someone was
biased and opinionated, and there willbe a hate crime that comes out of
it. And they but just theykill things for everybody. What sticks in
the mud. Well, folks,we're going to go into this. I've
got a ton of great stories thatperhaps you have heard. I would guess

(13:11):
mostly you have not. I invitedKen here tonight because Ken was here at
the start and Ken is here atthe end. And I'll get into that
in just a bit. But forthose of you who may be new to
the show, Ken McClinton, tellpeople who you are, sir, and
where you can be found and heard, and tell folks about your very own

(13:33):
TV broadcast channel. Almost certainly,I'm the guy you envisioned being on the
posters and the most efficient and effectiveUS postal centers in America. I'm Ken
McClinton. I'm the host of theExceptional Conservative Show, also chairman, president,
founder TECNTV dot com, and sothankful to have had the experience and

(14:01):
working with VZ and all of theothers at SAHR over the years. It
is a sad as well as agreat celebratory thing that SAHR is moving out
of California. A The unfortunate thingis that they may actually change some of
the politics and wherever they're going,so you know, you got to be

(14:26):
careful. But love said in termsof that, quite frankly, it is
a great joy to be with UniteVS as we come to an end of
an error and we just want toknow do you'll have you'll pack us.
You know, it's a funny thingand we laugh about that. But as

(14:48):
Missus b Z and I were startingto get together. Folks, if you
haven't moved in your seventh decade,I want to tell you it's a lot
of fun. Number One, youcan't move all the crap that you did
physically when you were thirty. Thelast time I moved was into my house

(15:09):
in nineteen ninety three up in Alta, California. I'm about the I was
about at the four thousand foot level, and I moved from my house down
on MARYL Drive in Sacramento in onetruck with a liftgate by myself, loaded
everything in the house by myself,put it in the truck by myself,

(15:31):
took it all out of the truckby myself into my new cabin at the
four thousand foot elevation. And Ican distinctly remember that was July fourth,
It was warm, I had nofans with me, hadn't assembled the bed,
and where I slept was on thecarpet, surrounded by all my boxes.
Welcome to your new camp. Sothese days am I moving? No?

(15:58):
For the past? Let me putit this way, Am I moving
well and easy? And the answeris no. In my seventh decade,
not quite so much. And that'show long I've had that house. It's
sold. But for the past yearand a half year and a half,
missus Beezy and I have been agonizingover how to move, where to move,

(16:23):
how who to contact it's just it'sbeen a logistical nightmare, and when
you begin to move, you realizejust how much gerp you've acquired in the
intervening years. But here's the difference. I had an entire household. I

(16:47):
had an entire house up there inthe Sierra Neveda Mountains. My wife had
an entirely separate house down here inSacramento. So now in our my not
her seventh decade, and after yearsand years at our distinct houses, this

(17:11):
will be the first time we've puteverything together, two homes into one household.
And it's a raging clusterfuck to tryto suss out what you're gonna keep,
what you're gonna throw away, whatyou want people to take, what
you're gonna donate, all of that. So we have had well, I

(17:32):
haven't had a vacation since twenty nineteen, and we certainly haven't done anything but
agonize over moving since, like Isay, about a year and a half.
It would be twenty twenty we startedinvestigating, and now we're finally here
to the day we're gonna be moving. Let's see what is today, the

(17:56):
seventeenth. We're gonna be moving nextweek on Friday, and then that's it.
We're gone. We are gone,and then the interesting stuff really starts
to happen. To try to figureout how we're going to fit all this
stuff in a nineteen hundred square foothome when we had two twelve hundred square

(18:18):
foot homes. To try to stuffall of our stuff, so to speak,
it's going to be interesting, butat least perhaps a little bit of
weight we'll fall off our shoulders.I want to talk politics tonight, and
Ken again, thank you for beinghere. The reason I invited Ken is

(18:41):
he Oh please, If you hadjust put Hunter Biden crack pipe on the
outside of each of those boxes,I assure you they would have been moved.
Oh my gosh. Yet yes,Or I could have I could have
written on the outside of of eachbox, you know, Biden's cash,

(19:03):
and I'm sure it would have itwould have remained unopened, moved rapidly,
with great ceremony, all of that. This is a bittersweet show for me.
I'm going to try to not letit be Maudlin, although it's going
to be a little difficult. SoI've got, like normal, I've got

(19:29):
just a ton of things to talkabout tonight. I won't get to but
a percentage of them. I'm I'msure, And I don't want to make
it all about just the move.I don't want to make it all about

(19:55):
wrapping the show, although you knowI I will make it about that.
But the reason I wanted to haveKen on is because Ken was here at
the beginning of SAHR, which hasgone through a whole bunch of twists and

(20:15):
turns, and I wanted Ken tobe here for the end of SAHR in
the state of California. So that'swhy I'm appreciative to Ken for being here
tonight. Sir, thank you somuch for inviting me. I'm very glad
to be here. The history ofSAHR is he meant impacting and certainly historical

(20:37):
in it's own right. You know, some people can never appreciate something until
it's completely gone. And with youall leaving California, someday there will be
a Republican out there that says,you know what, and the animals of
history is that we're not for SAHR. We may not have ever had an

(20:59):
opportunity I have a Republican in California. You all have done a tremendous job
spreading the good news of life andliberty and the pursuit of happiness to so
many people. And it's not alwaysdone with a kind, gentle expression,
but often it's enough for the momentto change people's minds and hearts well.

(21:26):
And I will never stop doing that. You were here, I hesitate to
say, way before I was.What happened with me is I retired in
twenty sixteen. And when that occurredin twenty sixteen, I I'll be the
first to admit I was not readyfor retirement. I had not prepared myself

(21:48):
adequately mentally to retire. I happenedto find the shr Media studios and I
talked to Sean and I talked toClint, and they invited me on the
show. And the show was TheSackheads Radio Show. And what a lot
of people didn't know was it's calledthe Sackheads Radio Show because all the people

(22:10):
involved, myself and as well,were in law enforcement, and especially five
six years before that, you know, I would call into various radio shows.
You're not really supposed to have anopinion. So I became BZ,
the Bloviating Zeppelin, and I havenever used my true name on social media,

(22:33):
and I never will just now it'sa matter of tradition. But before
that, you know, I didn'tneed all the crap that comes along with
that particular package, and neither didSean, and neither did Clint. Clint
works for a local, big stateagency, and Sean worked for law enforcement

(22:56):
in Bastin, Bastin, but neitherone of us, none of us used
our names. So that's where SackheadsRadio came from, wearing a sack on
our head. Well, you youwere here before me. I only got
here in middle twenty sixteen. Andlike I said, before, they let

(23:18):
me into the studio and I wouldpipe up every now and then. And
I didn't actually get my own showuntil January seventeenth of twenty seventeen, but
I would bigfoot the Sackheads Radio show. And because I had met you already
at the Freedom Fest in Las Vegas, that's where I met Ken McClinton,

(23:44):
and you were kind enough to allowme to be on your show and come
in and talk for fifteen twenty minutesor so on your show. And that's
kind of why I say I willnever be less than incredibly grateful for your
kindness in letting me do that.In letting me onto your shows and giving

(24:07):
me a megaphone and a way tospeak. Well, you are a voice
of recording, and your voice proclaimsthe best of what life and liberty and
freedom are all about. And itwas an endearing one and one that needs

(24:27):
to be heard often throughout America.It was a great joy meeting you out
in Vegas. When you pulled upyour car and you roll down your window
and you threw that quarter out atme. I really appreciate the fact that
you were showing me to love andaffection. And when you told me to

(24:48):
go get a job, I reallyappreciated not even more. You are an
encouragement to me. We had awonderful time. It's all about together.
Yeah, it's all about the motivation. And I told the story where I
tried to motivate you. It's allabout the Sackheads motivating me. Because for

(25:11):
Freedom Fest, they flew first classfrom Sacramento to Las Vegas to attend Freedom
Fest. Ken knows this story,and so what happened, Well, what
they said is if you want youryour own show, Bucco, what you'll
do is you'll open up your kroutcar and load all of the stuff that

(25:36):
we want to take into the car, and you'll drive there and you'll like
it and you'll be happy in theone hundred and ten degree August heat from
Sacramento, California, down to LasVegas, Nevada, where no one in
their right mind goes outside in thesummer. And then I had to set

(25:56):
it up as best I could.So oh when I got to carry their
luggage as well, extra bonus,extra added attraction. So I was extremely
grateful for that. But your history, Ken mc clinton starts way before me.
Do you remember about roughly kind ofsort of what year it was?
See the Delio folks, is thatKen mclinton was part of the SAHR Media

(26:18):
Network and then Ken broke out andcreated TECN and now he's got his own
channel, et cetera. But atone point, lots of fingers were pointed
at each other and a lot ofribbing was done, and Ken was originally
part of the SAHR Media Network.So do you remember about what year that

(26:40):
was? Ken, It was probablyabout twenty fourteen fifteen that I came aboard
with son and Clint. And thething is I was recommended Sony Clint by
Mary Brockman. Mary Brockma says,you got to listen to Sonny Clint after
your so in the clock, SoI would turn you guys on. I

(27:02):
was like, well, not literally, well maybe get out of my head,
you bad guy. So I would. I would listen, and then
eventually I called in one day anddisguise my voice so that no one would
know me, and I was actinglike a total idiot, and Sean was

(27:27):
breaking up and Klint as well.They were rolling. You could hear them
as they were stickering and laughing.Uh. And it was my introduction to
them in terms of that. SoI would come on and Sean once said,
Ken, you come on like youyou're that guy on Mad You do

(27:48):
that that stuff on my show thatyou wouldn't dare do on your show.
So I was comedy relief for them, and it was a great relief for
me because people tune in to myshow and is you know, there's some
laughter, but there's a lot ofyou know, sophisticated conversation and nuances and

(28:08):
things of that particular nature. Somany people take me as a very very
serious, high brow into my highbrowindividual. So going on the sac kids
and act like an idiot was oneof the most great joys I had in
my entire life. I enjoyed workingwith you all. Uh. And there

(28:29):
was a character I did called Christy. I can't think of the last name.
Uh, Dave Milner. Dave Milner'sin chat. Dave Millner's in chat
right now, and Dave Milner says, Dave Milner says, Hey, Busy,
tell Ken that I still have arecording of Lusty dominique from talking about

(28:57):
what is nothing exactly the one day. Thank you for reminding me. Oh,
I'm so glad. Well, well, Dave is just doing you a
favor. That's he's simply doing youa favor. Hey, folks, I'm
going to have to take a break. This is the final show. I'm

(29:18):

(33:04):
That's where we are right now,and I have I'm speaking to Ken
McClinton tonight. So Ken, thankyou ever so kindly for being here,
because you just got through with yourshow and it's eight thirty what the heck
eight thirty two right now on thefar left coast and it's eleven thirty two

(33:27):
in DC where you are, Sothank you for staying up so late tonight.
I really appreciate it, sir.Well, thank you very much.
I'm also producing right now Beyond theLions with Tiffany Jones, so I'm multitasking
with you, sir. And itjust goes to show that the original suitcase

(33:50):
holder for Sean and Clint was alittle bit brighter than most people thought.
But well, at least we knowone thing you can multitask like nobody's business.
I was going to I don't knowwhat I'm going to do tonight.

(34:12):
I am really torn. I've gota ton of stuff to talk about in
terms of politics. I've got abunch of audio cuts. And here's the
strange thing. I have to behonest. After I retired, I've told
this to Sean and that show yourshow you he Clint allowing me to be

(34:43):
on the air to a degree,saved me. And perhaps people are wondering
what happened, is that after Iretired, that's forty one years go,
and I went from being somebody inmy field of some import where lots of

(35:07):
people I was supervising tons of peoplein a law enforcement venue to the next
day I wasn't worth cat piss inmy mind, and twenty sixteen right after
that wasn't all that great, andI had to try to I had no

(35:29):
more given any kind of consideration towhat to do at retirement than the man
at the moon. And that's abig, big problem. That's a huge
problem with people that have been workingfor many, many years at a job,
at a given job, but it'sparticularly important and resonating for people that

(35:50):
were in law enforcement because they haveto readjust their thinking immediately in terms of
twenty four hours, you have todo a complete one eighty and now now
you're not responsible for anybody except yourself, your wife, family, friends,
whomever. That was tough for meto take. And so when I told

(36:10):
Sean this, I still tell himthis. I'm not sure he or anybody
else realize, or perhaps even you, how much you guys kept me sane
and together. Wow, because Ihad some issues. I won't go into

(36:32):
them here. This past Tuesday night, I had Scott Brown on and we
were talking about his book Facing EvilWell. He Faced Evil in Well.
On October twenty fourth of twenty fourteen, he was with his partner Danny Oliver,
and pulled into a parking lot inSacramento. They were on the POP

(36:55):
Team that which is problem oriented policingand the guy after they made a stop
behind this guy's car came out andjust immediately began to shoot at them,
and Scott Brown's partner, Danny Oliver, was killed immediately. Then this guy
shot him in the head. Thenthis guy drove over him and left.

(37:22):
He went around the corner to aplace called Spano's Court, and shot another
guy six times in the head andneck. That guy lived. He attempted
to carjack a car across the street. He went around the corner and then
a couple of miles to Arden Parkand attempted to carjack from some landscapers their

(37:43):
pickup truck. They said they didn'thave the keys. He went to another
set of landscapers and did, infact steal their pickup truck. Drove with
his girlfriend up Interstate eighty eastbound,exited at Auburn Boulevard, came across a
Placer County Sheriff's Department unit and thena second unit, and then shot and
killed a second deputy, a PlasterCounty Deputy, a Detective Michael Davis,

(38:09):
in the span of about an houror two later, so two law enforcement
officers killed and another one another citizenseriously seriously wounded. And the guy that
was on My show last Tuesday hadwritten a book Facing Evil and then essentially
went through the living hell he hadexperienced for the past eight years, and

(38:34):
in order to help heal, hewrote the book as it began sort of
as a journal, and he wentthrough some very bad times and he,
like a lot of other people,get into critical incidents. You could find
yourself at the bottom of a bottle, or you could find yourself with drugs,

(38:58):
or you could find yourself with idaof suicide. And let me just
say for me, because I myselfhad been in a serious critical incident that
I have gone into before only onetime, and I won't go into here.
But someone is not around anymore,And that and all the other things

(39:20):
that I did in forty one yearsswim around in my brain theater every fucking
night. So in twenty sixteen whenI retired, it wasn't bad. Twenty
seventeen got worse. Twenty eighteen gotworse. So when I tell people that

(39:40):
when Scott Brown said that book wastherapy, shr was therapy for me.
And I've never said that really untiltonight. Wow, giving me something to
do, something upon which to focuswas for me then and now extremely important.

(40:06):
And when I phrase it that way, I can't. I'll just say
it this way. I almost can'temphasize how much this show, doing this
helped me and saved me. Soin the past, Ken McClinton, when

(40:30):
I've told you, you know,really, thanks Ken for letting on your
show. What I really mean tosay, is You're one of the reasons
I'm still here today. Ken McClinton, God, oh man, oh,

(40:53):
Gordy God. That's how important doingthis was and became to me. And
so when I say thank you toSean or Clint, or to anybody in

(41:15):
the chat room or the people whohave been listening live and podcast, or
who used to correspond with me onemail when I was stupid enough to give
my email out over the air ofthe F and S emails I used to
get. But I cannot tell allof you how important you became to me

(41:50):
and to have met you in twentysixteen and then continue to interact with you
and continue to be my friend.Well, Ken, my friend, you
are what I would consider integral inmy being here today. I crawled into

(42:15):
a bottle many times during my career. I never get I never got into
drugs. You could look at myfat ass and see that that is not
a fucking ivy drug abuser right there. That's pretty obvious. But I've had
my issues and I've had my times, and despite all of that, like

(42:36):
Scott Brown, I am still here. So it was important to me,
and I don't that is a message. You just don't know how important that
message is tonight, not only tome, because it's a very humbling thing,

(43:00):
and to be used by God toserve and Ah to touch lives,
not not even knowing I didn't knowthat, no one else knew that,
but the God used that particular toolto serve you. And in addition to

(43:24):
that, you know you're touching livesto a lot of people who feel so
hopeless at this way of the court, not just because you know they left
the police force or whatever, butafter all of these particular years under COVID and
