Glenn Beck launches fundraiser for Charlie Kirk's family under 9-12 Project



BlazeTV host Glenn Beck is calling on his audience to say "thank you to Charlie Kirk."

Kirk was murdered on Wednesday, September 10, during a campus speaking tour stop in Utah.

On Friday's episode of "The Glenn Beck Program," Beck decided to turn back the clock and use his 9-12 Project to benefit Kirk's family, his loving wife, Erika, and their two children.

'Every donation reflects the strength of this community and its resolve to stand together.'

"Charlie came from this audience," Beck explained, noting that Kirk was a fan from a young age.

"He was a kid when he started watching me on Fox and listened to me on the radio," the host continued.

Beck then recalled conversations he had with Kirk, remembering that the activist was always "gracious" and kind to him. In return, Beck said he wants to do everything he can to say "thank you back to him."

This spawned the launch of a fundraiser on GiveSendGo under the 9-12 Project banner. The project was originally started in 2009 and was designed to honor the spirit of Americans coming together the day after September 11, 2001, regardless of their political affiliation.

The fundraiser is meant to be a way for supporters to express gratitude for Kirk's commitment to freedom of speech, liberty, and the United States.

"Every donation reflects the strength of this community and its resolve to stand together," it reads.

The original 9-12 Project included a series of nine principles and 12 values inspired by the founding fathers. Among the principles were the ideas that "America is good" and that God is the center of life. Honesty, family, and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were also included.

The 12 values are as follows:

  1. Honesty
  2. Reverence
  3. Hope
  4. Thrift
  5. Humility
  6. Charity
  7. Sincerity
  8. Moderation
  9. Hard work
  10. Courage
  11. Personal responsibility
  12. Gratitude

Beck further recognized that while there are other fundraisers and safeguards in place for Kirk's family, they have "a long life and road ahead of them," and so does Kirk's operation at Turning Point USA.

Beck stated that should Kirk's wife feel she does not need the money, the 9-12 Project donations could be put toward Turning Point USA's mission.

"It's going to provide for the family and his children, but also, at his wife's discretion, to the Turning Point USA mission as well. They've lost their biggest fundraiser in Charlie, and they are just broken up," Beck continued. "They're just broken up, and God bless them. I want you to know we're thinking about you. We love you so much. And we're very, very grateful."

Italian Americans for Harris: An Offer You Can Refuse

Identity-based Zoom fundraisers are all the rage among Harris-Walz supporters, so Sunday night's "Sunday Sauce Kickoff," organized by Paisans for Kamala, was as inevitable as a tomato sauce stain on a white dress shirt. The event was touted as a virtual old-style Italian family dinner and Alyssa Milano from Who's the Boss was supposed to be there, so I RSVPed right after Mass.

Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, John Stamos top list of celebrities on latest Zoom call fundraiser for Kamala Harris



Comedians and actors will gather on a Zoom call Monday night in hopes of adding to a growing fundraising trend for Vice President Kamala Harris.

After hosting other race-centric Zoom calls titled "white women for Kamala" and "white dudes for Kamala," the Harris campaign decided the online calls to action were successful enough to necessitate moving forward with the format.

At 8 p.m. ET, a bevy of left-wing comedians will join an online call called "Comics for Kamala," with hopes of raising funds for the vice president who recently became the presidential candidate for the Democrats.

'President Biden so graciously stepping aside and passing the torch has just energized so many people.'

Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, John Stamos, and Nick Offerman are some of the biggest celebrities signed up for the event, per Deadline. Other recognizable names include actors Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), David Koechner ("Anchorman"), and Craig Robinson ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine").

Known Democratic activists such as Patton Oswalt, Kathy Griffin, Tom Arnold, D.L. Hughley, and Rosie O'Donnell are also on the billing.

The aforementioned "white dudes for Harris" call reportedly raised over $4 million after sporting celebrities like Jeff Bridges and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with politicians such as Democratic governors Tim Walz (Minn.) and Roy Cooper (N.C.). Participants shared different stories about being traumatized by the Trump presidency and expressed why they felt it was paramount that Harris get elected.

For example, actor Josh Gad recalled crying over his children's bed when Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.

"I'm not sure you guys can recall that feeling you had on the night of Tuesday, November 8, 2016. I remember that feeling. I stood over my kids' bed, and I wept," Gad said.

BlazeTV's Alex Stein called the story "creepy" and "weird" and added "crying in front of your children is the least father-like thing you could ever do."

Author Bridget Phetasy called the female version of the event a form of actual "white supremacy."

"You have to believe you are better than everyone else and that it is up to you to lift up all of these people – these poor people who can't help themselves – and speak to everybody like they're toddlers," she told BlazeTV host Glenn Beck.

Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell praised the events and later applauded the Democratic ticket for having new energy.

"President Biden so graciously stepping aside and passing the torch has just energized so many people," Swalwell said. "[Harris] likes to have fun, and part of who she is is her great laugh."

The California Democrat praised the apparently whites-only events and said they set a "very high bar" for fundraisers moving forward. Swalwell added that he reached out to the owner of the comedy club Stand Up New York to help organize the August 5 event.
