On his Fox News show, Jesse Watters critiqued President Biden’s State of the Union address, arguing it lacked the inspirational rhetoric of past presidents and instead aimed to portray Biden as the sole defender of democracy against authoritarianism at home and abroad.
Watters played numerous clips of Biden vigorously yelling and repeating himself to prove he was still alive after being lethargic for years.
“In his 1862 State of the Union address, Abraham Lincoln said ‘We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of Earth.’ Those words came just weeks after what was known as the bloodiest day in American history, the Battle of Antietam where 23,000 Americans were slaughtered,” Watters said.
“There was weight to Lincoln’s words, he was Honest Abe.”
“In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt articulated America’s four essential human freedoms: Freedom of speech, religion, and freedom from want and fear,” he said.
“FDR urged Americans to defend democracy in war-torn Europe. These presidents used their words not to scare Americans for political gain, but to mobilize Americans to meet the moment,” he added.
“Last night, President Biden didn’t have the courtesy to arrive on time to the State of the Union, and once inside the chamber, he milked the political affection inching ever so slowly to the podium, refusing not a single selfie from embarrassingly childish politicians stopping in entertaining long conversations and basking in the pageantry and attention.”
“There was something grotesquely pathetic about grown men and women of the president’s own party pawing at him, as if he had real talent. It was as if like the Democrats had never spent time with their president. Like he’d come out of hibernation and showed proof of life,” he said.
“They don’t see him at the Christmas party or the Easter Egg Roll? They don’t meet with him about legislation? Maybe they wanted to capture the moment on camera, when they met the greatest president of all time, because that’s who Joe Biden compared himself to — a combination of Abraham Lincoln and FDR.”
“Biden declaring himself a wartime president, saying he is saving democracy at home and abroad just like America did in the Civil War and in World War Two,” he added.
“Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation and he said, ‘I address you in a moment, unprecedented in history of the Union. Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe. Freedom and democracy are under assault in the world,'” Biden said.
“Tonight, I come to this same chamber to address the nation. Not since President Lincoln in the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home, as they are today,” he said.
“What makes our moment rare is the freedom and democracy are under attack at both at home and overseas at the very same time.”
“We will not walk away. We will not bow down.”
“Biden framed this election not as a political campaign, but as a military campaign. Just as Hitler and the Confederacy were defeated, Putin and Trump will also be. This is how Biden is positioning himself. He will defeat Trump, the enemy of the state,” Watters said.
“I ask all of you without regard to party to join together and defend democracy. Remember, your oath of office of defending us, all threats, foreign and domestic,” Biden said.
“Even liberal historians thought it was a bit too much,” Watters noted.
“This is the number one issue for Joe Biden that he represents democracy. In some ways, it might be overdone a little by Biden. He is positioning himself as being the indispensable man, I’m Abraham Lincoln. Beyond me lies authoritarianism and fascism,” history commentator Douglas Brinkley said.
“Biden is democracy just like Fauci is science. Anybody who disagrees is the enemy and will be treated as such,” Watters said.
“This was not your typical State of the Union with memorable presidential prose, soaring oratory that gives you goosebumps. Biden just screamed for an hour to prove he is still alive.”
“America stood strong, and democracy prevailed,” Biden said.
“We will stop you 50 times before it will stop you again.”
“I say stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it,” Biden said.
“Send me the border bill now.”
“We cut the federal deficit by $160 billion.”
“Those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue.”
“When America gets knocked down, we get back up. We keep going. That’s America,” he said.
“God bless you all,” Biden concluded.
“Now, as a student of human behavior, when I observe wild and sudden changes in energy levels, something has been added to the mix. This man has moped around the White House for three years, lethargic. Neither an early bird or a midnight owl,” Watters said.
“Someone who struggles to finish the sentence and falls asleep in public, you go from a one to a 10, even ‘The Washington Post’ wants Biden to pee in a cup to test for steroids. Joe needed to show intensity to prove the Hur report wrong, and he just yelled at everyone, the Supreme Court, businesses, Republicans, and Trump over and over and over again,” he said.
The host noted Biden didn’t acknowledge American hardships and was interrupted twice, once by a Gold Star father upset over Afghanistan and again for failing to mention Laken Riley’s name when given a pin about her death.
Watters closed by accusing Biden of being selfish, dismissive of suffering, and ready to wage a brutal partisan battle as a “wartime president” against domestic enemies.
“Biden never once acknowledged American hardship. Never consoled, only spun. It got so bad that at one point, a Gold Star father interrupted,” Watters said.
“A year before I took office, murder rates went up 30 percent,” Biden began.
“Remember Abbey Gate,” the Gold Star father yelled.
“Thirty percent, they went up,” Biden said.
“United States Marines. Second Battalion. First Marines,” the father said.
“The biggest increase in history,” Biden added.
“That man lost his son, a Marine during Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal. It was just too much for him to stay silent. The president hasn’t even called some of the parents who lost their sons that day,” Watters said.
“Biden’s policies are producing Gold Star moms and Angel moms, and he can’t even call them or get their names right. Laken Riley’s mom writing this: ‘Biden does not even know my child’s name. It’s pathetic,'” Watters noted.
“If you were going to say your name, even when forced to do so, at least say the right name. If President Trump had called George Floyd, Jim Floyd those riots wouldn’t have been so mostly peaceful.”
“Biden is selfish at his core. He spent 40 years climbing the precipice of Washington until he finally reached the pinnacle of power. He has failed up, believes he’s a hero, and says anything to survive,” he said.
“He even made up a fake Civil War to scare the country and stay in charge, but the real civil war inside his own party, and last night was a cannon shot to signal he has the gunpowder to wage a brutal battle for what he calls the soul of the nation.”
“Who knows where that gunpowder came from? But we warned you, Biden believes he’s a wartime president and is ready to take whatever action necessary to defend the country from you, the enemy.”
