Glenn Beck Hosted The Charlie Kirk Show and Left Something Behind (It Got Dusty In Here REAL Fast)

Glenn Beck was today's guest host on The Charlie Kirk Show, one week after the horrific assassination in Utah.

It's been made clear that Turning Point USA will not be deterred or intimidated, and the movement is going to grow faster than ever:

There was also a big disruption (to say the least) as everybody was prepping for air:

Was not fun telling my husband and family this.

I’m in the control room now getting this live show to air but when it’s over I’m going to scream in a pillow. https://t.co/P8e5Wk6F4U

From The Blaze:

While the discovery of the suspicious bag prompted a delay, Beck ultimately went live, paying tribute to his fallen friend and discussing with counterterrorism expert Ryan Mauro the new report from Capital Research Center detailing how George Soros' Open Society Foundations has poured tens of millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that are allegedly engaged in activities the FBI has defined as domestic terrorism as well as into foreign outfits allegedly linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Luckily the area was cleared, but those must have been some tense and scary moments.

In previous days, Beck had been saying there would be a special tribute to Kirk when he hosted his show, and this was a big one:

Glenn Beck just paid tribute to Charlie by placing Rush Limbaugh’s Golden EIB mic in front of Charlie’s empty chair.

Thank you Glenn for one of the most beautiful and touching tributes to Charlie. I will watch your opening back on repeat for years 🙏@glennbeck pic.twitter.com/6rt44AXG1C

David Limbaugh, Rush's brother, loved it:

I love it, Andrew. Thank you, @glennbeck -- always the decent and thoughtful person -- and class act. https://t.co/x6wpuhtZ7O
