2012: Some candidates that Glenn likes...

April 16, 2012

Writer

Glenn Beck does not endorse candidates, but he does offer his opinion. He has put together a list of some of the people he has met that he believes need to be sent to Congress. He has met each of them and believes that they “get it”. However, he strongly recommends that uou research these candidates independently and decide for yourself if they represent your values and principles.

Ted Cruz - Republican candidate in 2012 for U.S. Senator from Texas
A real conservative who will be tough on big spenders. Cruz understands what we as a country face economically, and he is unafraid to face those challenges head on. If you’re a Texan or someone who can help Ted Cruz, we ask you to take a look and help Ted Cruz out.

Mark Neumann - Republican candidate in 2012 for U.S. Senator from Wisconsin
Mark Neumann is a strong small government conservative. He stood up to Newt Gingrich when Gingrich was in Congress. First elected to the House of Representatives in 1991, Neumann stood by his values and principles at the expense of his own political career. While in Congress, he fought hard against big spending, and when he refused to vote for bills bloated with pork. While others would march in lockstep with committee leaders in exchange for earmarks, Mark stood his ground and was subsequently thrown off committees. A clear and finance candidate, Neumann believes that America is now ready to face the hard reality of the economy.
Chris Stewart - Utah’s 2nd Congressional District
Chris Stewart is a good friend of Glenn’s and “one of the best men (he) knows”. Glenn met him for the first time about two years ago, and he initially wanted to hire him to work for his company Mercury Radio Arts. While Glenn knew him as a fantastic writer, he is also an Air Force Legend. He is a man of faith, as well as a stand up guy who will hold fast to his principles. He understands the economy, as well as the threats America faces from radical Islam. And while he sees the danger facing this country, he has a strong belief that things could be fixed. While Glenn would hate to see his good friend in the political mess of Washington, D.C. - Glenn has said that he has hope that if Chris Stewart is there, the country can get back on track
Daniel Bongino - Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Maryland
Dan Bongino is a former, highly decorated, Secret Service agent who left the White House when he realized he hadn’t heard any honesty out of a politician in a long time. He felt that America needs leaders who believed in her and everything she could be. He decided to leave his job and pension and go back to school and get degrees in Psychology and Business Administration. Like many candidates on this list, Glenn believes Bongino is above all an honorable man who understands the threats facing the country from radical Islam and the economy.

Dan Liljenquist - Republican candidate in 2012 for U.S. Senator from Utah*
Dan Liljenquist has an amazing life story. He was almost killed in a plane crash while on a mission trip when he was younger. He lost many friends in the crash. As a man of faith, he understood that he was saved from certain death by God for a reason, and he does not waste a day on anything that doesn’t preserve the honor of the country and his own integrity. He deeply understands what we face as a country economically if we do not send the right people to Washington who will join with others who want to cut big spending.
Jeff Flake - Arizona’s 6th congressional district. Republican party
Glenn believes that Jeff Flake is a man who really “gets it” when it comes to the economy. He has a strong record on taxes and spending. In fact, he has a perfect record with Club for Growth.

As Glenn continues to meet with candidates over the next few weeks and months, we will continue to add to this list.

Get THE DOCUMENTS for the 'Parental Advisory' Glenn TV special

There was a time when both the Left and the Right agreed that parents have the final say in raising their children... Not anymore.

In the People's Republic of California, the STATE, not parents, will determine whether children should undergo transgender treatments. The California state legislature just passed a law that will require judges in child custody cases to consider whether parents support a child’s gender transition. According to the law, the state now thinks total affirmation is an integral part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare.”

We are inching closer to a dystopia where the state, not the parents, have ultimate rights over their children, a history that people from former Soviet nations would feign repeating.

Glenn dove into the law AND MORE in this episode titled, "Parental Advisory: The EXPLICIT plot to control YOUR kids." To get all the research that went into this episode AND information on how YOU can fight back, enter your email address below:

The Biden admin has let in MORE illegal aliens than the populations of THESE 15 states

There are currently an estimated 16.8 MILLION illegal aliens residing in the United States as of June 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This number is already 1.3 million higher than FAIR's January 2022 estimate of 15.5 million and a 2.3 million increase from its end-of-2020 estimate. Even Democrats like New York City's Mayor Adams Mayor Adams are waking up to what Conservatives have been warning for years: we are in a border CRISIS.

However, this isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010. In the first two years of the Biden administration alone, the illegal alien population increased by 16 PERCENT nationwide, imposing a whopping net cost of $150.6 BILLION PER YEAR on American taxpayers. That is nearly DOUBLE the total amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

This isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010.

These large numbers often make it difficult to conceptualize the sheer impact of illegal immigration on the United States. To put it in perspective, we have listed ALL 15 states and the District of Colombia that have smaller populations than the 2.3 MILLION illegal immigrants, who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. That is more than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, and South Dakota COMBINED—and the American taxpayers have to pay the price.

Here are all 16 states/districts that have FEWER people than the illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.

1. New Mexico

Population: 2,110,011

2. Idaho

Population: 1,973,752

3. Nebraska

Population: 1,972,292

4. West Virginia

Population: 1,764,786

5. Hawaii

Population: 1,433,238

6. New Hampshire

Population: 1,402,957

7. Maine

Population: 1,393,442

8. Montana

Population: 1,139,507

9. Rhode Island

Population: 1,090,483

10. Delaware

Population: 1,031,985

11. South Dakota

Population: 923,484

12. North Dakota

Population: 780,588

13. Alaska

Population: 732,984

14. Washington DC

Population: 674,815

15. Vermont

Population: 647,156

16. Wyoming

Population: 583,279

POLL: Should the Government control the future of AI?

Earlier this week, tech titans, lawmakers, and union leaders met on Capitol Hill to discuss the future of AI regulation. The three-hour meeting boasted an impressive roster of tech leaders including, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and others, along with more than 60 US Senators.

The meeting was closed to the public, so what was exactly discussed is unknown. However, what we do know is that a majority of the CEOs support AI regulation, the most vocal of which is Elon Musk. During the meeting, Musk called AI "a double-edged sword" and strongly pushed for regulation in the interest of public safety.

A majority of the CEOs support AI regulation.

Many other related issues were discussed, including the disruption AI has caused to the job market. As Glenn has discussed on his program, the potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real, and many have already felt the effects. From taxi drivers to Hollywood actors and writers, AI's presence can be felt everywhere and lawmakers are unsure how to respond.

The potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real.

Ultimately, the meeting's conclusion was less than decisive, with several Senators making comments to the tune of "we need more time before we act." The White House is expected to release an executive order regarding AI regulation by the end of the year. But now it's YOUR turn to tell us what YOU think needs to be done!
