SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck's morning radio show due to a guest of Beck's suggesting that someone assassinate Donald Trump.
In the audio clip, below, Steven K. Bannon and radio show host David Webb discuss Beck's suspension and Webb replacing Beck in the 9 AM to Noon slot.
The announcement was made on the SiriusXM Breitbart morning show which precedes Beck's (now Webb's) time slot.
"SiriusXM encourages a diversity of discourse and opinion on our talk programs. However, comments made recently by a guest, that would be Brad Thor, on the independently produced Glenn Beck Program, in the company's judgement, that would be SiriusXM, may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office, which SiriusXM, as a company, cannot and will not condone. For that reason, the Glenn Beck Program is suspended from the Patriot channel for the coming week. SiriusXM is committed to a spirited, robust, yet responsible political conversation and believes this action reflects those values."
Following is an excerpt of the Beck/Thor dialogue that led to the suspension, followed by an audio clip of that dialogue….
Thor: This is serious and this could bring down incredible heat on me because I'm about to suggest something very bad. It is a hypothetical I am going to ask as a thriller writer.
With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress won't remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if, if he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority I should say, as president.
If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office? And I don't think there is a legal means available. 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.
BECK: I would agree with you on that….
Beck and Levin are both prime candidates to go postal.
sounds like they’re not worried about losing all the revenue.
Everyone on the Blaze Facebook page is whining and vowing to cancel theit Sirius XM subscriptions.
I predict listeners will INCREASE due to the fact that idiots no longer on the air.
A slap on the wrist, the way I see it.
So Glen is OK with such a suggestion? He truly is unwrapped isn’t he? Shows an even uglier face of the GOP establishment types than I ever thought possible.
I’ve been saying for months that the Washington establishment would do ANYTHING to stop Trump.
Well, the stabbing would never stop.
Unbelievable. How can anyone defend Beck??? His followers are sick.
Don’t click on the link. It is filled with spyware/adware and littered with pop up ads that make it nearly impossible to get to whatever it is they are trying to tell about.
Stupid website designers.
Lyin’ Ted has not come out of the Goldman-Sachs closet to reject Kooky Beck.
Hey Glenn...Fakebook is hiring. I understand you have connections there...
Both of them?
Loaded up fine for me. And the philosophy behind the site looks like something I’d support. Give ‘em a click.
Testimony to the unhinged nevertrumper Cruzbot mentality.
And you did not see one pop up and you did not notice the long, long list of spy bots?
Good for Stephen K. Bannon
Beck can blather all he wants. His and Brad Thor;s comments were off the rails
Fact is, should it be necessary, getting him out of office would be a lot less difficult than getting Beck and Thor locked away in a padded cell.
The SS has hauled common citizens in for questioning only due to hanging a chair above their porch. Has Beck heard from the SS? That about Thor? Had they said the same about BO’B, the road would have been greased to speed them to the room behind bars.
Oh Beck will come back unrepentant. He has to have advertisers or pay for time. We will see what happens.
My guess is that David Webb will do so well that Beck will go away
