That's a Joke...That's a Joke': Glenn Beck Responds With Laughter After CNN Host Asks About 'Crazy' 2016 Possibility

Glenn Beck responded with laughter Monday night after CNN host Don Lemon asked him about the prospects of Vice President Joe Biden entering the 2016 presidential race.

The conversation came hours after reports that President Barack Obama had given Biden his blessing for a potential run for the Oval Office. Beck, on CNN to discuss his new book, reacted to the news about a potential run.

"Can I ask you a question? Let's be really honest. Are the Democrats ... I mean, really? Joe Biden? That's a serious consideration? I mean this is crazy!" he said.

"Joe Biden has a long track record in politics, he's great on foreign policy, he's a says-it-like-it-is guy," Lemon quipped back.

Beck wasn't convinced.

"You cannot tell me he would not be the laughing stock of the world," Beck said. "Joe Biden? Really?"

"C'mon. We can at least be clear — I mean I can see it with Elizabeth Warren even," he added. "Joe Biden? That's a joke. And all of us know, that's a joke."
