Glenn Beck’s initial reaction to Biden’s SOTU is NOT what you’d expect
Glenn Beck likes to keep it PG, but Biden’s State of the Union address was so horrific that he couldn’t refrain from saying, “Excuse me, I never use this language, but what an a**hole. ... What a colossal f**king a**hole.”
“I would have gotten up and walked out,” he tells Stu Burguiere.
What about Biden’s speech drove Glenn to such anger?
Basically all of it.
“His priorities [were] ... war,” giving "more money to Raytheon,” convincing people that “Trumpers are dangerous and out of control,” “January 6,” “IVF,” and “Roe vs. Wade,” says Glenn.
“He chastised the Supreme Court and said that he won’t take people’s choices away, [but] that’s not what they did,” he continues. “They said it’s up to the states” and not “nine judges in black robes.”
When Biden addressed the pandemic, he stated that “Trump didn’t care,” which Glenn says is “an outrage.”
Then Biden divulged his plans to “unite all Americans” and “cure cancer with the nightmare drug that we are using for Covid.”
“What are you talking about?” asks Glenn in disbelief.
When Biden finally addressed inflation, he gave his usual ridiculous spiel on how “inflation is down” and “the economy is booming” thanks to him.
“Can I just do some simple math for everyone?” says Glenn. “If your inflation was 9% and now it's 3%, that means your inflation in total is 12%. You have to carry the 9 with you.”
“[Biden] is basically saying the government is the economy. The government is going to spend all this money and build everything, and that's what's going to put people to work. Well, governments don't actually create any wealth; they take the wealth from others and then spend it on crappy programs,” he continues. “Then what happens? Nothing — it doesn’t create anything in the end.”
The president also brought up lowering the price of prescription drugs. To that, Glenn says, “I’m all for that.”
There’s a problem though — “You cannot do that while you are in bed ... with Pfizer and all of the big pharmaceutical companies.”
The only nice thing Glenn has to say about Biden’s State of the Union address is that “he did a good job to dispel the idea that he's an old, weak man.”
But that’s probably just because his doctor “juiced him up” prior to the speech.

Both Trump and RFK Jr. responded to Biden’s SOTU address: Who had the better reaction?
Neither Donald Trump nor RFK Jr. was impressed by Biden’s State of the Union address.
Both candidates took to social media to share their initial responses, which were equally disapproving but radically different.
Trump chose to focus on Biden’s lies: “Joe Biden is on the run from his record and lying like crazy to try and escape accountability for the horrific devastation he and his party have created. All the while they continue the very policies that are causing this horror show.”
“Joe Biden's sad excuse for a State of the Union address aside, here are the facts: When I left office, we gave Joe Biden the most secure border in U.S. history, we gave him ‘Remain in Mexico’ ... safe third agreements, the Asylum Ban, Title 42, 571 miles of border wall, rapid deportations, and much more,” but “as soon as he got in, crooked Joe and his radical left lunatics deliberately dismantled each and every one of those policies.”
“Over the past three years, Biden has actively aided and abetted the importation of millions and millions of illegal alien migrants and resettled them into your communities.”
To Trump’s response, Pat Gray says, “Good stuff,” adding that everything the former president said “is true.”
RFK Jr., on the other hand, chose to ignore Biden’s flaws and rather focus on getting back to the greatness that was once America: “I grew up in an America that seemed to have achieved its promise as an exemplary nation. ... We had become the City on the Hill. We were a moral authority around the globe; our government, institutions, our Congress, the court, the regulatory agencies, and even the American press were renowned for their integrity, and they were revered worldwide.”
“Other nations wanted our American leadership. They knew the difference between leadership and bullying, which is something our current leaders seem to have forgotten. We were the template of liberty, proof that for a country to thrive its people must be free — free to speak, free to worship, free to build great companies, free to start small businesses. We were the freest country in the world, and by no coincidence, the most prosperous.”
“Working Americans could provide for their families on a single salary, they could buy a home, raise a family, save for retirement without mountains of debt. We made the best music; we made the best movies; we made gold standard automobiles that everybody in the world wanted; we made blue jeans; we reconstructed Europe; we put men on the moon; we has the world's healthiest, best educated children."
“Our productivity, ingenuity, our ‘can do’ spirit were the envy of the world. We had confidence in our strength, our capacity, and the limitless potential of our country.”
“Wow! That’s good; that was inspirational,” says Pat. “What do you disagree with in that?”
Now we’re curious what you think. Who had the better response to Biden’s SOTU address? Donald Trump of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Leave us a comment below.
