The "Pro-Life" Christians Who Drool at the Expansion of the Death Penalty

About this episode

John discusses the hypocrisy of the Trump Administration's approval of firing squads and speaks with investigative reporter Aaron Miguel Cantú about energy issues in California.

John discusses the hypocrisy of the "Right-to-Life" Trump Administration approving the use of firing squads for executions and saying it will also likely reinstate the electric chair and other methods, including GROUP executions. Then, he speaks with Aaron Miguel Cantú  who's an investigative reporter covering energy issues and the fossil fuel industry in California. For Capital & Main he has written about the effect the war on Iran has had on California’s fuel imports, with the state sourcing more oil than ever before from bad actors like Russia just to meet demand. Then, John chats with TV's Frank Conniff about current politics and the ever fickle media.
