Mark Koernke and co-hosts Don and Joe discussed the October 2013 government shutdown, focusing on the petty enforcement actions taken by federal park rangers and the closure of military commissaries. They criticized the government's decision to post armed guards at national monuments and trails while removing well pump handles, arguing these actions were spiteful rather than necessary. The hosts expressed particular outrage over the commissary closures affecting active-duty military personnel and their families, characterizing it as deliberate mistreatment by the Obama administration. They also discussed the psychological manipulation of military recruits and the government's treatment of veterans, drawing parallels to the Manchurian Candidate concept. The episode included commentary on the hypocrisy of having funds for military action in Syria while claiming insufficient resources for basic government operations.
