SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER
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.
The suspension is in response to the interview Beck did with fiction author Brad Thor last Wednesday, in which Thor likened the GOPs presumptive nominee Donald Trump to a South American-style dictator who would cause an extinction-level event for the country if elected. Thor then declared that in such a case, Congress would not be able to remove Trump from office by legal means through impeachment, so Thor asked what patriot will step up and do that if Trump oversteps his Constitutional restraints. Beck agreed with Thors assessment.
Here is the exchange:
THOR: He is a danger to America and I got to ask you a question andthis is serious and this could ring down incredible heat on me becauseIm 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 wont 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 dont 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 wont be able to do it through Congress.
BECK: I would agree with you on thatand I dont think you actually have the voices weve been talking about and weve been talking about this off-air for a while. I think the voices like ours go away. I dont think we are allowed especially if things, and I believe the economy is going to go to c**p, even if Jesus was in office. Its going to naturally reset. It has to.

After receiving criticism for these comments from people who believed Thor and Beck were suggesting or at least implying assassination, Beck offered a lengthy defense of his statements. You can read the full transcript of his defense here.
