Joe Biden promises to 'cure cancer' if he's elected president in 2020

Former Vice President and presidential hopeful Joe Biden made a promise on Tuesday to "cure cancer" if he defeats incumbent President Donald Trump in 2020.

"I promise you if I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes America -- we're gonna cure cancer," announced Biden during a campaign speech in Ottumwa, Iowa.

On Wednesday's radio program, Glenn Beck, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere reacted to Biden's audacious campaign promise and discussed the Democratic front-runner's chances against President Trump in a hypothetical general election.

"If he gets elected, Joe Biden said 'we're going to cure cancer.' That's going to be the big takeaway of his presidency," Stu said. "We used to do that as a joke. Remember? We would run fake candidates, like Ernie Velveeta and Harold Flamblasky, and they would all promise to cure cancer. Now, Joe Biden is really doing it."

Glenn said that then-candidate Trump's campaign promise to build the wall is "pretty simple compared to curing cancer."

"Joe Biden is going to cure cancer -- he's already cured it, really. You just have to elect him before he'll tell you how he's going to cure it," he joked.
