Glenn Beck made the news last week for a revolting on-air conversation with author Brad Thor in which both men spoke happily about a would-be Trump Assassin. Conservatives weren’t pleased, but it appears they weren’t alone. Now Sirius XM is taking a stand, as well.
SiriusXM hosts Stephen K. Bannon and David Webb announced on Breitbart News Daily that SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck and Webb will temporarily take over Beck’s 9AM to noon Eastern time slot on SiriusXM’s Patriot Channel 125.
SiriusXM issued the following statement:“SiriusXM encourages a diversity of discourse and opinion on our talk programs. However, 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. For that reason, we have suspended The Glenn Beck Program from our Patriot channel for the coming week and are evaluating its place in our lineup going forward. SiriusXM is committed to a spirited, robust, yet responsible political conversation and believes this action reflects those values.”
Perhaps the two men’s conversation wouldn’t have taken as much heat had neither of them shown such a passionate dislike of Trump. Given Beck’s obsession with defeating Donald Trump, however, it seems plausible that a Trump assassination would sit just fine with the former Fox News host.

That’s exactly who they were talking about. Did you listen to the interview? Thor went on a massive spew on trump. Not some theoretical future totalitarian. He also said he would rather have Clinton than trump. That is telling that it’s not trumps views so much as trump and not their beloved Cruz.
Beck shut the hell up already
Beck is a terrorist to condone an assassination. He should be arrested.
Good Riddence to Bad Rubbish
Should never work again!
I feel so sorry for Glenn Beck family.
it is over GB… now, go away for good.
I have read the transcript and that is not what was said.
Amen.
