โš–๏ธ Segment 3: Sinners & Saints – The Risks of Private Caregivers
In this thought-provoking discussion, George and Todd uncover the hidden legal and emotional risks of hiring unlicensed caregivers.

BONUS: Charlie Kirk & Free Speech (Part 2)

Sunday, September 28, 2025

Join Shannon Salmon-Haas and host Todd Marquardt as they address free speech and the passing of Charlie Kirk on part two of this bonus edition of Talk Law Radio. Be sure to check out part one if you missed it!

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, the discussion centers around the controversial figure, Charlie Kirk, and the broader implications of free speech. The episode begins with an introduction to hidden legal blind spots that may arise in discussions about free speech.
The conversation then delves into the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The episode also examines why some people consider Charlie Kirk's beliefs to be hateful, highlighting his most divisive issues, including gender ideology, abortion, illegal immigration, dismissing "white privilege," opposing systemic racism, the 2020 election fraud, and gun rights.
The episode further explores the concept of hate and who defines it, posing thought-provoking questions such as what if someone said they hate men who marry women, or that they hate that sex and gender are assigned at birth, or that they hate free market economics.
The discussion then shifts to the causes of polarization, referencing Carnegie Endowment Research from 2023. It explains how polarization divides people into sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs, and how polarized political candidates and parties promote more extreme candidates, especially in districts with safe seats. The episode also touches on emotionally polarized individuals, known as affective polarization.
Solutions to reduce affective polarization are discussed, including creating a sense of shared identity and pluralistic work that coordinates groups to act on shared goals. The episode emphasizes the importance of bridging differences to build trust and advance a more just democracy.
The correlation between polarization and violence is also examined, noting that people who commit political violence often have aggressive personalities and poor self-control. The role of social media in amplifying extreme views is highlighted, with a warning that enragement means engagement for social media purveyors.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the law about speech, referencing key Supreme Court cases such as Schenck v United States, Brandenburg v Ohio, and Cohen v California. The legacy of these legal precedents is considered in the context of contemporary free speech debates.

As the dust settles from Charlie Kirk's assassination on September 10, 2025, a firestorm of firings and expulsions has erupted over social media posts expressing "joy" or criticism about his death. This segment probes whether these private and public employer actions violate First Amendment protections, unpacking the legal boundaries of speech in workplaces and campuses. Does the conservatives' push for "consequences" undermines the very free speech Kirk championed?

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the massive memorial service on September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, this segment dissects the event's fusion of evangelical fervor and Republican rallying cries. Drawing on legal, cultural, and theological lenses, the hosts explore how the service blurred sacred and secular boundaries, raising questions about the entanglement of Christianity and politics—and whether such mergers risk turning national devotion into a form of idolatry.
