Mark Koernke discussed the Slenderman stabbing case in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where two 12-year-old girls stabbed a peer 19 times, attributing the incident to occult influences in public schools and psychiatric medication rather than parental negligence. He addressed a critical email from a Canadian Nazi sympathizer regarding anti-American sentiment, clarifying that U.S. government foreign policy—not the American people—causes global resentment. The show featured an extended Weapons Wednesday segment with co-host Darryl covering black powder and flintlock firearms as low-tech alternatives, including cap-and-ball pistols, flintlock muskets, and double-barrel shotguns from manufacturers like Taylor Arms and Middlesex Village Trading Company. Ammunition availability was discussed, with specific inventory updates from ammo suppliers including 30-06 tracer rounds, .50 BMG, and 5.7 FN cartridges. The episode concluded with commentary on the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner exchange as a distraction from domestic government overreach, with warnings to government officials and calls for armed preparedness.

He provided updates on the Bundy Ranch situation in Nevada, calling for additional personnel to deploy to the location and offering the ranch's address and contact information.

Koernke emphasized maintenance protocols for black powder weapons, radio color-coding for operational clarity, and cost-effective lighting solutions using 12-volt systems and solar panels.
