Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets?
00:00:06.900
Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different.
00:00:18.920
So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to.
00:00:22.400
And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo.
00:00:30.000
Have you guys heard about what Idaho is going to be doing effective July 1st?
00:00:40.200
Effective July 1st, an Idaho law allows prosecutors to seek the death penalty
00:00:47.560
for certain convictions involving sexual abuse of children 12 years or younger.
00:00:52.820
It's not an automatic death sentence for every child rep conviction.
00:00:56.460
However, Idaho passed a law making the firing squad the state's primary method of execution beginning July 1st of 2026.
00:01:07.900
Making it the first state to designate the firing squad as the default execution method.
00:01:21.360
People convicted of certain extreme offenses can face the state's harshest penalty using a method that does not depend on medical drugs or supplies.
00:01:28.520
The legislation passed Idaho's House Bill 37 and 380 authorizes the use of the firing squad as a method of execution in cases where other means are unavailable or legally challenged.
00:01:38.220
It represents a shift in how the state approaches capital punishment driven in part by ongoing difficulties that many states have faced in obtaining the drugs required for lethal injection protocols.
00:01:49.040
Idaho joins a small number of states that have turned to the firing squad as an alternative and method proponents described as more reliable and less dependent on pharmaceutical supply chains and which critics argue raise its own serious legal and ethical questions the law takes into effect July 1st of 2026.
00:02:06.960
I love this, you know, because deterrent is where it starts.
00:02:10.600
Do I want to see a bunch of public executions like this?
00:02:23.360
Only 8% of the adult population has a concealed carry permit in Idaho.
00:02:34.380
Because it's a constitutional concealed carry state, which means if you're in good standing and you're not a felon in anything, then you can carry.
00:02:42.380
Which is why Idaho has the lowest ATM muggings in the nation.
00:02:48.240
Because there's a 60% chance that someone's going to turn around and say,
1.00
00:02:59.760
And so now what you're getting, and by the way, Idaho also, Pat, has reciprocity.
00:03:06.000
If you have a concealed carry permit issued in another state,
00:03:09.180
You can come to Idaho and they will recognize it if you're vacationing or something.
00:03:13.500
Or people with RVs often have weapons to protect themselves in the evenings.
00:03:18.580
And I think Idaho is showing the nation how they feel about the strenuousness of the law that should be up on this particular crime.
00:03:31.640
And the backdrop I'm giving you, if they have been a very—
00:03:35.240
Bubba, you don't read about Idaho leading the league in murders.
00:03:37.940
You don't read about Idaho leading the league in riots because you've got an armed populace, and it keeps itself in check with the Second Amendment.
00:03:48.740
And now they're coming up and saying this is how valuable—I don't say how terrible is the firing squad.
00:03:55.300
Idaho is saying this is how viable we feel our precious children are.
00:03:59.740
By the way, you know what question I just asked?
00:04:01.620
I asked this question because what I want to know is, is it going to be public?
00:04:10.040
Idaho's firing squad procedures limit viewing to a small group of official witnesses,
00:04:15.180
victim's family, condemned's family, and up to four selected media representatives.
00:04:19.840
The event is not open to the general public or broadcast on TV,
00:04:26.100
Rules explicitly ban filming, taping, recording, broadcasting,
00:04:29.180
or using camera, phones, electronic devices inside the execution area.
00:04:33.080
Violators face removal and potential legal consequences.
00:04:37.420
Approved journalists can observe and report details
00:04:40.680
but must follow strict protocols with no personnel recording allowed.
00:04:45.000
Post-execution briefings provide official information instead of live clips.
00:04:50.800
So the gentleman was standing there, the shot where his left leg gave up first.

00:05:32.020
They're saying it's not going to say you're a favorite.
00:05:37.180
You always say that your favorite part of the game is not the game itself.
00:05:41.240
But what I think, like, I think we need to take it to a whole different level.
00:05:45.300
I think you need to show it is what I think you need to do.
00:05:49.840
Because, in my opinion, I think you need to show it to scare the crap out of the other guy
00:05:54.740
to say, oh, my God, there's no way I'm going to do that.
00:05:58.580
More is caught than taught in public execution.
00:06:01.040
You can talk about it all you want, but show it.
00:06:10.600
We talked about the vigilante justice and the movie that you want everybody to watch, Citizen Vigilante.
00:06:15.820
This is what's called institutional justice, vigilante justice meets in Idaho.
00:06:21.000
Idaho is basically saying we're done playing these games.
00:06:23.100
If you're going to break the law and you're going to be a habitual lawbreaker,
00:06:25.700
you're going to do the things that basically constitute capital punishment,
00:06:30.360
we're going to basically show the world what you've done wrong.
00:06:34.260
so this is the opposite of taking justice in your own hands this is basically trusting in the
00:06:38.920
government to do what's right and instilling justice and by the way i'd like to nominate
00:06:43.480
some some people from the firing squad maybe some members of the squad want to volunteer to show up
00:06:48.960
and basically put in the first uh rounds of work if you know what i mean i love the joke
00:06:54.060
the word that tom used is deterrent uh when you go to the target over here in fort lauderdale
00:06:59.620
they have a cop car with the lights on there no cop is there adam but the car is there and the
00:07:05.640
lights are on and it like by that because i want to steal every day i drive by and i'm like bro
00:07:09.480
i'm joking but i but it makes i know an office it makes people go you know what i'm not even
00:07:13.920
going to think about going there because a person that's driving by or walk adam goes there's there's
00:07:18.560
a cop there i'm not going to do it i love the word deterrent tom because it's making people think
00:07:22.700
twice okay we're like this we're serious about our children you already know what the bible says
00:07:27.280
about harming them and what god says that should happen to you if you harm any of these little ones
00:07:31.860
or cause any of them to stumble so i think putting it out there and showing people like listen you do
00:07:36.380
this is what you have in store and in regard to the firing uh squads tom correct me if i'm wrong
00:07:41.320
you know i think it is pat everyone and by the way the police are going to be the ones doing it
00:07:45.540
cops on the force are going to do it and i think that they put let's say there's six shooters at
00:07:50.260
them all of them get a bullet only one of them has an actual bullet in it one has a bullet maybe
00:07:56.180
too the rest are blanks because so it doesn't have the person that goes okay i'm the one that
00:08:00.460
shot and killed just so like doesn't make money lose their mind and have a clear conscience but
00:08:05.940
again put it out there don't mess with children or else they're coming for you yeah by the way
