9.22.25--NLS--Kirk Memorial, ISU 90-0 Win, Educational Choice Lawsuit

from The Neal Larson Show · host Neal Larson

Send us Fan MailIn today&apos;s episode of the Neal Larson Show, the host reflects on the emotional aftermath of Charlie Kirk&apos;s assassination and the five-hour-long tribute held in his honor. Larson praises the event as a &quot;revival&quot; rather than a call for revolution, highlighting the powerful and moving speech by Kirk&apos;s widow, Erica. He plays clips of her speech where she notes the absence of rioting after the assassination and publicly forgives her husband&apos;s killer, stating that the answer to hate is love. The host contrasts this message of forgiveness and unity on the right with what he perceives as the toxic and divisive politics of the left, criticizing those who share out-of-context clips to besmirch Kirk&apos;s legacy.The host also discusses several other current events, including a lopsided 90-0 victory for the Idaho State University football team and a minor controversy involving the Idaho Falls High School football team and the marching band. A significant portion of the show features an interview with Chris Cargill from the Mountain States Policy Center about a lawsuit filed against Idaho&apos;s parental choice in education law. The lawsuit, involving plaintiffs like Representative Stephanie Mickelson and the Moscow School District, is described by Cargill as a cynical attempt to block educational options for families, and he expresses doubt that it will succeed in court. Additionally, the host comments on the firing of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, dismissing the idea that it represents a major threat to free speech, especially when compared to the assassination of a major political commentator.Let’s talk advertising.
