Mark Koernke discussed the Ferguson, Missouri unrest following Michael Brown's death, criticizing media coverage and federal government involvement in suppressing the store robbery video. He analyzed the Ferguson situation as part of broader class and race warfare, connected it to economic decline in Michigan cities like Detroit and Pontiac, and blamed NAFTA and trade policies for industrial collapse. Koernke also corrected the historical record on NAFTA's passage, attributing it to George H.W. Bush and Al Gore's tie-breaking Senate vote rather than Bill Clinton, and drew parallels between Ferguson riots and militia activity at the Bundy Ranch to illustrate different standards of conduct.
