889: The Christmas Special

Larry Flynt on Capital Punishment and Public Executions

Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt expresses his opposition to the death penalty for the man who shot and paralyzed him, arguing that the legal system should focus on justice rather than vengeance. Flynt cites 18th-century England as evidence that capital punishment is not a deterrent. The hosts satirically suggest that public executions should be revived as high-rated reality television programming.
