The Peter Boyles Show - October 10, 2026 HR 1: Peter Boyles is joined by former talk-radio host Ryan Schuiling to debate whether the scheduled firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan should be televised. Peter asks listeners whether they would watch, while Schuiling argues that broadcasting an execution risks glorifying violence rather than reinforcing justice and deterrence.

Callers offer competing views on the death penalty, public executions, terrorism, and whether showing the consequences of violence would serve as a warning or simply turn death into a spectacle. Schuiling also discusses his campaign for Evans City Council, outlining his priorities of supporting local businesses, improving infrastructure, and protecting taxpayers through responsible government spending. Later, he and Peter turn to Colorado politics, criticizing gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx for refusing to debate Phil Weiser and questioning whether Marx is prepared to defend his positions publicly.
