Mitch addresses the act of political violence toward former President Trump. He challenges President Biden and President Trump to take all political ads off of television, radio, and internet and narrow their campaigns down to a simple podcast with ideas for the government and nation. The political process must change and that is why Mitch proposed the perroscope platform several years ago. He knows people won't listen to every one of their representative's podcasts but hundreds of watchdog groups will put together the important information and present it to voters. Mitch talks about Section 5 of the constitution and how he believes that it is a provision for State Media. If the United States put a state media department in it's budget the charter could specify that it can get no larger than the largest private media conglomerate, it must be critical of the government from a neutral perspective, and that it must grant equal time to all political parties. Mitch believes that the US could field an example of state media that would cause people in other nations to say "why isn't our state media like the United States?" Instead of state media being propaganda for the government it could be critical of the government in order to improve that government. Mitch suggests starting with a highlight show of the politicians in congress speaking on the floor. This show would grant equal time to all parties in congress. The state media should stay focused on congress as the constitution stipulates and if it enters into any other fact based media endeavor approval will need to be voted on by the general population of the United States.
