This one's a banger.

Abolish the death penalty.

EDIT: Yes, this is the third time LWT has covered the topic. The focus of this edition is basically an update on the means of execution from the second time. Specifically, there's a deeper dive into the use of phenobarbital, and who makes the chemicals.

I feel like he's covered this before, but yeah, our criminal justice system is a joke, so there's no way it should be trusted w/ the literal lives of our citizens.

He has covered it before. Twice. And yet more executions are happening.
How can the moon landing be real if the moon isn't real?

It's almost like entertainment shows don't really have much effect on our political system.

edit: I didn't think about the irony of "Fox News" when I posted this, cuz I definitely don't find them entertaining, but I suppose they can have an effect

Outside of the US I get access to the entire show via Youtube and he had a segment about this guy from Azerbaijan who does a ton of stock photos, it was great
He was born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear him, critics rage,
He's half alive, he's half dead, folks just call him Buckethead

It's a shame that's not on American YT because that segment was fucking fire.

I just care about whether they're guilty or not.
Definitely needs major reforms and should be used less, but I wouldn't want it gone entirely.
Just use firing squad.
