Mark Koernke and co-host Darrell Sivik discussed a controversial arrest in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where Edward Bacher (Wolfgang Anacon), operator of In Your Face Cable TV and a Minnesota militia member, was arrested on terroristic threat charges based on alleged blog posts. The hosts criticized the disproportionate bond ($100,000 reduced to $3,000 with conditions), the newspaper's pre-trial conviction in print, and what they characterized as government intimidation tactics. Butterknife reported on gun show activity in the St. Louis area, noting strong firearms and ammunition sales while other retail sectors remained sluggish. Darrell provided practical instruction on rustic food preparation techniques including heating canned goods over fire, cooking game on spits, and baking bread wrapped around sticks.
