No Contest: The Kolsrud and King Report

Charlie Kirk and Free Speech

Episode Notes

Charlie Kirk's assassination set off a firestorm of opinions: some felt he deserved to die because of his beliefs, while others believed he was murdered by a left-wing radical who was afraid of Kirk's growing popularity among young men. In this episode of No Contest, we talk about the overarching concept of free speech. We talk about what it really means legally and socially, and we debate whether Kirk was spreading hate or debating with others to allow conflicting viewpoints to be heard and discussed. We also talk about the possibility of conspiracy charges for people who may have encouraged or helped Tyler Robinson along the way.

Don't be fooled: Our panel often disagrees and argues passionately, and this episode is no different.
