In The Emergency Meeting Podcast, we talk about the politics of the death penalty. Last week, five people were put to death in America, which is still the only Western democracy where the state has the right to execute its citizens. Why is Donald Trump for it, and Kamala Harris against it? Also, why is Harris not speaking about her position before the election? We discuss this hot button topic and explain our own controversial positions on whether the state should have the right to kill people.
