SiriusXM hosts Stephen K. Bannon and David Webb announced Tuesday that the radio network has suspended broadcast of Glenn Beck’s radio program following controversial comments author Brad Thor made about presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“Comments recently made by a guest on the independently produced Glenn Beck Program, in our judgement, may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office, which we cannot and will not condone,” SiriusXM said in a statement.
The network has suspended Beck’s program for the coming week and is “evaluating” its place in their lineup moving forward.

Censorship! lol. Yo Glenn, you mad bro?
Lol. Beck? Never heard of her.
His employees need to remind him that his first job is to attract and maintain an audience, before they all have to go look for employment elsewhere to feed their families.
Beck’s family needs to intervene for this man. He’s gone mental. He needs help.
So two issues with Beck's assertion. First, standing up and giving a speech isn't illegal or controversial. Second, it doesn't "remove him from office". Sorry but I think I know what he and Thor meant.
Good for Sirius!!
So those who boycotted SiriusXM had a bigger
impact than the Secret Service.
Where was the Secret Service when Beck et alia
said such things? Or the next day? Or the next?
Beck is nutz and dangerous because he’s nutz.

Temporary insanity always leads to temporary suspension.
Beck is/was on Sirius?
Glenn Beck; you are officially On Punishment!
Now watch him say Donald Trump must have paid Brad Thor a lot of money to entrap him on the air.
This makes at least a Strike Two for Glenn making ominous remarks about Trump. Strike One being the ‘Stabbing Speech’
I would much rather listen to his sidekicks anyway. They are a lot funnier. That being said, As a XM listener surely there is some other programming that is better than Beck.
I can’t stand his preaching or his bleeding heart stories. When their ripping on the left the show can be pretty good, but then he has those preachy moments and I switch my dial.
Sirius just got serious: Webb will temporarily take over Beck’s Program after Thor made ominous comments about a possible Donald Trump presidency. Thor’s comments should be construed to have been advocating harm or an assassination threat against Trump. Last Wednesday, Thor predicted that Congress would not be able to control a president like Mr. Trump, and said,
“if Congress won’t remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority?”
“If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office?” he asked. “I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office because you won’t be able to do it through Congress.”
Some patriot? Indeed. It sounds like he wants to have him JFK’d before he even takes office.
Bravo to Sirius for standing up to this nonsense. Beck’s stabbing comment was insane, now this. Beck’s commentary and guest’s conversations are inciting domestic terrorism. He needs to retire right now.
Thor is very quiet on Twitter. LOL!
I can’t think of a better insane human being that this should happen to, I do hope and pray that other radio stations take this lead and get rid of him PERMENTANTLY!!!
