Is there any punishment for blasphemy in Hinduism? Do any scriptures or Smritis say how a King or a government should punish the blasphemer?

The speaker of This video, Henry Doktorski, claims the following.

In the Vedic scriptures, in several places, it is said that a blasphemer should be killed with no punishment awarded to the executioner. So they were like going back and this ancient mythology and you know like they don't realize that they are living in a whole new society. Now you know but that was the thing to re-establish this ancient (ancient) culture that was one of the things and they eventually you know caught up to the guy and killed him.

Is this true?
