I may disagree with the man's politics, but I have the utmost respect for a man so devoted to his beliefs that he is willing to risk own future health and even his own life to make a point that much more effective. The man had guts. But that's what war can do to people... make them already believe that they are dead men, they no longer care whether they live or die.

Where can I find a transcript of this? I know it's on the video but it'd be nice to have a document or an article I can read. I'm using this speech for an assignment.
