Mitch talks about price gouging and how the two candidates are going to handle it. He thinks we should be able to challenge executives to duels to bring prices down. Mitch talks about how the Trump company has probably hired undocumented workers and how the wealthy are hypocrites and contribute to the immigration problem. Undocumented workers have no rights and can't unionize which is exactly the type of worker the wealthy like to employ. Mitch believes a good policy for the border is stabilizing Mexico. He would also take an approach of forcing U.S. companies to sponsor citizenship if the use undocumented workers.
Mitch closes with an idea for a novel about a new weapon presented to President Grump. The weapon was developed with coordination of the military and the hotel companies to put equipment in adjacent rooms that can use wireless waves to grow an undetectable tumor in the brains of targets. The president would be able to click a button on his phone and cause the tumor to rupture in a target ending their life.
