[08.30.21] THIS IS THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF OUR MORNING REPORT OVER ON YOUTUBE. I WRAPPED IT UP ABOUT 5:30 AM AND UPLOADED IT TO YOUTUBE. IT HAS BEEN FLAGGED BY THEM. WE HAVE UPLOADED A MUCH SHORTER VERSION WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONE THEY'LL ALLOW US TO PUBLISH THIS MORNING. HERE'S THE UNCUT VERSION FOR YOU TO WATCH. IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT, IT'S BECAUSE WE WERE FORCED TO TAKE IT DOWN. IF THAT HAPPENS, I WILL REMOVE THIS POST, BUT I DON'T ALWAYS CATCH IT IMMEDIATELY SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF YOU GO TO WATCH IT AND THE LINK DOESN'T WORK.
This is the speech by Michael Knowles, who preceded Glenn Beck at the tribute. Note: the last few minutes of this recording are missing.
This was the highlight of the event. Honestly, I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, per se — he's just not my cup of tea, though I did enjoy his show years ago on Fox and supported The Blaze in its first several years. But in this speech, Glenn talked about the things Charlie stood for: Christianity, attending church, respecting and loving the people you disagree with, and marriage and having LOTS of babies. All of those are near and dear to my heart too, so I really liked this speech.
(Michael Knowles spoke before Glenn — I'll put up his speech tomorrow.)
