Mark Koernke announced a third phase border deployment mobilization in Arizona, spanning from Sierra Vista to Fort Huachuca and potentially into New Mexico, aimed at securing the U.S.-Mexico border against illegal immigration and potential terrorist threats. He solicited material support from listeners nationwide—batteries, coffee, toilet paper, zip ties, pens, and food items—to be shipped to a deployment support depot, emphasizing that even small contributions from many people would significantly aid field operations. Koernke discussed communications infrastructure (FRS/GMRS equipment, antenna work, and tactical air support), introduced Alfie Omega as a western coordinator, and took calls from George in Florida who reported observations of Mexican military vehicles near the Arizona-Mexico border and discussed efforts to establish Spanish-language micro-broadcasts in El Paso and Juarez to counter what he characterized as pro-immigration propaganda.
