During the Friday broadcast of his radio show, Glenn Beck said that if he were present at Thursday nights Republican debate, and had a knife, he would have stabbed Donald Trump.
I dont know what I would have done if I was sitting in Cruz or Rubios shoes, Beck stated. I cant say it that way. If I were on the stage, I would have said, have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him? I believe these things.
If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldnt stop.
The Secret Service has not responded to TheDCs initial inquiry on the matter.
No, he did not. He said, “...if I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘Have you been listening to him tonight? have you been listening to what I say about him?” Then there is some mumbling, a bit of crosstalk, and if you listen to it, Stu is teasing him about “sitting in someone’s shoes,” and then Pat joins in. Then there is a pause and Stu says, “I mean, was he sitting in gigantic shoes?” and THAT is when Beck says, “If I were close enough and I had a knife...”
Beck needs to be institutionalized. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.
Take away his belt and shoelaces just to be sure.
Time for some charges on this nut job
Yeah. No Kidding.
Funny thing.
I liked Beck’s novels.
Didn’t care for his lectures.
He needs to stick with fantasy.
I wonder what the Mormon Church is teaching these misfits? Are Romney and Beck drinking their Kool-Aid out of the same glass?
“Stu was teasing him about sitting in shoes. And GB was referring to stabbing STU, not DT.”
That will be the reason given if the SS inquires. But what else would Stu say? (Stu & Pat the ultimate yes men) I recorded the audio and it could be taken both ways. Beck was talking about Trump, Stu pitched in about the gigantic shoes, then Beck said If I was on the stage and had a knife, the stabbing wouldn’t stop.
Where is the secret service anyway? If someone said that about Hillary they would be jailed!
Not remotely the same.
As much as I mistrust Beck, this is not as obvious as I first thought. Beck could have been (playfully and tastelessly) threatening Stu. Nevertheless, Beck needs to be visited by some folks with badges.
Why doesn’t Beck go to Hawaii or something for a week or two and chillax?
I will be disappointed if Cruz does not disavow beck and quickly
He may lose his show over that comment. The FCC could close him down over that.
Oh, dear...this is the headline at ‘Infowars’...
I don’t have a transcript of it but I did listen to it several times and re-wrote it as I heard it. It’s right at the very end. I’m not a GB fan, but we have to be honest about what he said here. This was not a threat to DT and GB will often go to break with one of them taking a jab at one another.
I agree.
It’s a bizarre thing to say.
I think he needs a 5150 hold that what I gather.
Yes to protect him, Ted, Trump and us as Americans!
Maybe a nine year 5150!
This guy needs to be Bakered.
“Not dropping Beck after a statement such as this would be a serious error in judgment...”
The dems will love it. Beck has screwed us all. Dems consider Beck to be a Conservative. They will say, “See? Conservatives are violent nutcases.”
“Yes. I listened to it a couple of times. They were razzing each other.”
______________
I don’t agree that Beck was joking about stabbing Stu.
Please go listen to the audio posted at the beginning of this thread.
Below is the pertinent part of the transcript listed there which appears to be accurate from what I heard. (I reviewed the audio twice).
There is laughter and a remark by one of Beck’s associates about “big shoes” between the two paragraph’s listed below; however, Beck then continues his remarks which clearly, to me, are a threat directed at Trump. (Beck chuckles after the remark; which, I assume, he believes makes his prior remarks some sort of twisted joke. I am not of the same opinion. This is a very dangerous thing for Beck to speculate upon; especially while broadcasting it to his entire radio audience.
Transcript-
BECK:
I dont know what I would have done if I was sitting in Cruz or Rubios shoes ...I cant say it that way ...if I were on the stage, I would have said, Have you been listening to (Trump) tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him? I believe these things.
(Laughter, Beck’s associate makes remark about “big shoes”)
BECK:
If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldnt stop. (Beck chuckles)
Respectfully, please explain what you believe is incorrect about the above account. If the audio has been edited in some way please list what the correct transcript should be.
Thx.
