Edward Kornke hosted the second hour of the Intelligence Report, discussing Mark Koernke's mother's recovery from a stroke and surgery, and soliciting donations for the station's October bill. The show examined a controversial incident involving Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and an armed individual on the border, with callers and Kornke expressing skepticism about media coverage originating from the New York Daily News rather than local Arizona sources. Kornke criticized the media's selective quoting and lack of full context, comparing the reporting tactics to those of filmmaker Michael Moore, and argued that the story appeared designed to create division between Arpaio and militia groups. The episode also featured discussion of a 1993 Handgun Control Incorporated blueprint for gun confiscation and constitutional limitations on government power.

Mark Koernke discussed the Russian military invasion of Georgia, analyzing military hardware visible in BBC footage and speculating about U.S. involvement in the region.

Koernke addressed border security issues, including a Mexican Army incursion into Arizona and a fatal van crash carrying illegal immigrants. He extensively covered Handgun Control Inc.'s legal efforts to restrict concealed carry in national parks, critiquing the Supreme Court's Second Amendment ruling. The episode concluded with detailed announcements for upcoming events: a beach party in Michigan collecting canned goods for an incarcerated supporter's family in Wisconsin, and a five-day training exercise in Ash Fork, Arizona (August 14-17) covering map and compass, medical training, marksmanship, and tactical operations.
