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….
GOOD, Glen should loose his entire network......he is back on the bottle again and more likely always has been. Who do you love the most????? Not Glen.
You NeverTrumpers, do you realize you are trying to stop the only person with the ability to do the things you've cried out for? And to have your standard bearers (Glenn Beck and Brad Thor) say such things of someone who is aligned with them is INSANE!! Were they saying this of 0bama?? NO!!
NeverTrumpers are people with evil hearts.
Be nice if he was suspended in SuperMax for twenty or thirty years for aggravated incitement to murder.
That is a threat. Ban should be permanent
I am about as concervative and far left as you can get and my car radio is always on Patriot Radio, except when Glen Beck is on. I got so tired of his Trump bashing that I decided I would rather listen to static filled local talk radio than a nice clear XM signal from Beck. I would even move over to the Elvis channel rather than hear Beck rant, and I am not a big Elvis fan. I was hoping this would happen and I thought about complaining myself. I only wish it were permanent.

Yes, I’m really regretting my former association with Glenn. This stuff is just nuts.
Glenn Beck.
[/facepalm]
Beck's a part of the establishment?
OTOH, I do remember him claiming to have worked at radio station WPGC (as in Prince George's County, MD, adjacent to DC), until they fired him for drinking.
And this is who Cruz hitched his wagon, to?
That guy is just disturbing. Get him off the air.
AdBlockPlus found 9 on my Opera browser.
He should be fired! No one should be allowed to say such things.
Others have been jailed for instigating violence....except if it was a democrat that was doing the instigating.
I did not see anywhere in that quote, nor did I hear it, when I actually listened verbatim, to Thor say it on Glenn’s show, where Thor said anything about assassinating anyone.
There are other ways of removing a man from office. Interesting how the left goes right to “violence”.
Knee jerk much?
I came up with a list of over 20. I never realized how much went on behind my screen until I got this program.
Do you also use MalwareBytes to find the crap that actually gets onto your machine? Lately, I’m getting lots of “PUPS” (Potentially Unwanted Programs), but I run MB 1x/week, so it gets cleaned-off.
One week? Media personalities have been fired from major positions for much less.
THIS is why Ted Cruz should never be in a position of trust...because he place the trust of his campaign with Glenn Beck, lunatic.
“So Glen is OK with such a suggestion?”
What suggestion?
All I see him saying is that congress would be afraid to impeach...which I don’t believe.
I had MalewareBytes but for some reason I’m not able to turn it on. Says I had a trial period but I paid.
