Mark Koernke and Joe discussed programming changes at the Micro Effect, including new morning and evening shows starting in January 2017. The hosts delivered extended commentary on modern slavery through financial systems, credit cards, banking, and government control, arguing that citizens are enslaved through permits, taxes, and fiat currency rather than free. They critiqued identity politics and reparations claims, discussed the throwaway consumer economy and planned obsolescence, and analyzed a truck attack in Berlin as a false flag operation with planted evidence, comparing it to other staged incidents.
