Mark Koernke and Don Betcher discussed the economic collapse of Michigan's industrial base, focusing on Dow Chemical's announcement of 10,000 job cuts and 20 facility closures by year-end 2008. They analyzed the loss of manufacturing expertise and skilled labor due to outsourcing, comparing it to similar devastation from Pfizer and Daimler-Chrysler acquisitions. Guest Bruce Hemings (Buckshot) reported on wolf predation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, documenting a 70% decline in deer harvest since wolves were introduced, and criticized the Michigan DNR for denying the connection while raising hunting license fees. The hosts discussed ammunition shortages, gun store raids, and the broader pattern of federal policies (NAFTA, GATT) designed to destabilize American industry and control the population.
