Glenn Beck has been suspended by SiriusXM satellite radio after the conservative host agreed with an author who suggested someone may have to “step up” to stop Republican Donald Trump.
During an interview Wednesday, author Brad Thor said he was “about to suggest something very bad” before asking hypothetically “what patriot will step up” to remove Trump from office if he’s elected president and oversteps his authority.
Beck responded, “I would agree with you on that.”
SiriusXM says in a statement the comments “may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office.” It says Beck has been suspended for this week and his program’s place in the lineup is being evaluated.
Representatives for Beck and Thor didn’t immediately return requests for comment.

TD Bare says
You reap what you sow!!!!!
Ron says
Glenn Beck has always been a supporter of the Washington Establishment, and has pulled the wool over the eyes of many devoted conservatives for years. People need to look into the motives of the so-called “heroes” they listen to.
Nancy says
You’re right. I think he has a screw loose somewhere……………he’s obviously making money by playing the conservatives for fools. If I had anything to do with it, he’d banned from the air forever.
Michael A. says
Agree for life Glenn beck is an idiot any how never did like watching him.
Rambo says
Glen is a terrorist in disguise!!
wvhillbilly says
I think every politician in the US government has screws loose. Maybe Trump can tighten them up again, or toss them out on the street and get people in there who can think straight.
Believer says
I agree. Glenn is mad because his Mormon Friend didn’t win ,And TRUMP DID. I have LOST ALL RESPECT FOR Glenn.
I am taking him off all mailings.
Helene says
He was backing Ted Cruz, Cruz is not a Mormon
Ken says
Helen, he was referring to Mitt Romney.
Tim says
100 percent FALSE. Glenn Beck is one of the most fierce opponents the DC Establishment has. Trump, OTOH, is a supporter of the Establishment.
Douglas says
Tim you must be a Hillary supporter, Glenn dug his own hole, now he just needs to wallow in it.
kiburt says
Right on Douglas,
Glen Beck should be shown the way to his maker. Goooooooooooooooo Trump!
Ronnie Sharp says
I’m with Doug on this and Tim can crawl up hillary’s a__ with glen!
Ted Allen says
Becks got you fooled
Helen Higgason says
Your crazy as h**,,your full of yourself, plug into life you simpleton!!!!!
Ken says
Tim, I must disagree with you. I woke up a few years ago along a slew of others regarding the truth on Beck. He is a true shill for the establishment and has continually flip flopped on so many issues. It is disgusting to think I believed this guy back when he was part of the Fox network. He is all about the money….
Wayne Schmidt says
Glenn Beck is a fool and a idiot. He’s all over the place.
Georgia Holmes says
Anyone who pays any attention to Glenn Beck needs a psychiatrist! That guy is not only dumb – he has always been someone who wanted to be in the limelight and “somebody” but he never quite made it!
Helene says
Glenn Beck is NOT pro establishment, never has been. You obviously do not listen to him. Brad Thor was talking hypothetically, making a mountain out of a mole hill, Head line very misleading, apparently the horn news is not creditable.
Ken says
Helene, have you listened to some of the trash that has actually been coming out of fake man Beck lately. I’m appalled by his reterick. He is a fake Saint as well.
Karen says
who does Beck think he is,, God. He sounds like he is taking things in his own hands…instead of letting WE THE PEOPLE DECIDE WHO WE WANT AS PRESIDENT. He has not right, and it should be a crime to say you want to murder someone, because you don’t want him to be president. What about corrupt and murderous Hillary Clinton? Not a word out of his mouth about what corruption and criminal things she has done..and to vote for the 3rd party is a vote for Hillary the Corrupter.
Believer says
Glenn’s been BOUGHT. Never TRUST a word he said again.ALL becausev he is MORMON And ROMNEY is MORMON and Glenn was upset/ WHAT A PIECE of Crap Glenn turned out to be. SAD.
Tim says
Glenn is a fierce supporter of the Constitution and a fierce opponent of the RINO Establishment, unlike Trump.
kiburt says
Tim,
You wouldn’t know an Asshole if you saw one, unless, of course, you’re looking in the mirror.
Why don’t you wise up and get on the Trump train to America so we can make it great again?
Ronnie Sharp says
KIBURT told you off for sure now get your ass on the TRUMP TRAIN and live again in a GREAT AMERICA!
Helene says
Bought by who?
Helen Higgason says
Who give a diddly damn what that ignorant Glenn Beck thinks, he’s only one silly person!!!!
Helene says
you obviously don’t listen to Glenn Beck
David says
It comes a time when people just try and destroy and desert a man that has done nothing, but try and educate you. I remember when the only reason l watched fox, because Glen would be the only one with his blackboard to show people the lies and deceit of the goverment.
Webupp says
Brad dipshit Thor was the one that suggested an assassination. Beck just did’t denounce it.
john says
who in the hell is thor?
bob says
you never read the story did you
Barry says
deport glenn beck he has crazy ideas
Tim says
Neither Beck nor Thor said any such thing, and you know that very well. But the Trump party line is apparently more important than the truth.
Typical “progressives”.
amparo says
Yup!! Sadly some people don’t listen to the truth…
kiburt says
Tim,
If you are correct, why did Beck get kicked off the show and shut down for a week for saying that?
Howard says
Glenn Beck is a looney and should be put in a cage. It took a couple of years for Fox News to wise up and dump the moron.
Sheila says
The zoo needs a new gorilla!!
Helen Higgason says
Hey….. I never thought of that, that’s where he needs to be!!!!
Ken says
Howard, I must agree with you. He pulled the wool over many of eyes and apparently still has a few thousand fooled. It used to be millions of listeners, then became way too much about the money. Glenn has made a few million dollars since leaving Fox. He has strayed quite a lot over the years.
Rosech says
If Beck said it or condoned it, he needs to be arrested and in jail NOW! For the last several months he has been exhibiting mental problems but this takes the prize. Beck must quit now! He is a danger not himself as well as to our nominee!
Helene says
Wow, the drama
Michael Babb says
Glenn Beck is a complete nut job! I think he should be locked up for his comments that appear to be advocating violence against anyone, but especially against Donald Trump!
Sig Mueller says
Glenn Beck went off the deep end. His star had been tarnished by self inflicted idiocy. He is an establishment advocate and has turned to outright hate. So much so it turned him into a crazy man.
Chuck Parsons says
Should anything happen to Mr. Trump, Beck should go to jail no matter who is guilty !!
Connie says
Why is no one admonishing George’s comment.
Arthur Hartsock says
A few years ago several entertainers were openly talking about assassinating George W Bush. This was barely discussed in the media, and no charges were ever filed. Mr. Beck’s comments are at least in poor taste and borderline terroristic threat material. Let the public judge him. For example, I have a year’s subscription to the Blaze ending in June. Mr. Beck’s comments in the next few days will determine whether I renew my subscription or let it lapse. That is the best punishment for someone like a Glenn Beck. Hit him in the pockets.
Karen says
Agree 100%
Robeat Ewing says
The Blaze is going fown in flames. Somewhere, Darth Beck
moved over to the “Dark Side” of the media force. Now, he is becoming nothing more than a media “farce”. To those eho still like Beck, all I can say is “may the farce be with you”.
Paul valdez says
I never liked Glen Beck since the first time I heard him on the radio, and for agreeing that Trump should be assassinated, that sorry sub-human piece of crap should be locked up in prison for 1,000 years!
joe says
A Killery fan?
Linda says
RIGHT ON!
Anthony Alexander says
Beck is showing his true colors……He NEVER was any good…..He has the spirit of perversion all over him like a cheap suit
JW says
Maybe Glenn should move to another Country ? He’s suggesting “murder” of a Presidential candidate — I have absolutely no use or respect for Glenn Beck — another way out leftist.
Tim says
Neither Beck nor Thor said any such thing, and you know that very well. But the Trump party line is apparently more important than the truth.
Typical “progressives”.
Rosech says
For those without knowledge, my family knows what the word “progressive” means – communist and Trump is not a communist but a loyal, hardworking and patriotic America. If you are a troll or a DNC Party lover, get lost because your candidates are pure communists and hence pure poison for the US. We lived under socialism and communism, stupid, and you won’t like it one bit!
Sandy says
All these people that are saying Trump should be assassinated should be put in jail. It’s a shame that people can’t see how he loves this country and wants to change things for the better. We can’t afford to have Bernie or Hillary in the WH. We will not have a country anymore.
JW says
AGREED !!!
PattieA says
ME TOO!!!!!!
John Topper says
Get over yourself Sandy! Do you really believe ” We will not have a country anymore”? Why “can’t afford to have Bernie or Hillary in the WH”? Because they don’t agree with you FOX induced ideas? Do you really believe It’s a shame that people can’t see how he loves this country and wants to change things for the better.”? Sandy, TRUMP IS OUT FOR TRUMP! He doesn’t care about America! He doesn’t care about immigrants! He doesn’t care about Trade agreements. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT TRUMP!
joe says
And Killery, she’s a real patriot, eh? Delusional Topper.
Michael A. says
John topper, tell me this, are you that stupid? Unless you,er a Muslim.
Tim says
Trump is a danger to the GOP, the conservative movement, and the Constitution.
Linda says
WOW!!! GROW UP!
ron says
Tim, you are right he is a danger to the corrupt GOP’ers and disregard of the US constitution. ron
Helen Higgason says
How would you know, you apparently only have half a brain!!!!
Sheila says
Never said better!
Walter davis says
If Trump calls people out the way he did with the reporter from ABC and the news media in general,,. We may have a chance at being a respected nation again. All the Republican nominees would not do that or did it really poorly.
Beck really got nutty over the primaries. Really backed cruse. I don’t know why. But a real. Christian believes God has a plan and accepts it. Weather it seems good or bad at the time
Ben says
Some folks have an amazing ability – they can bend enough to put their heads up their butts, and YOU are one of those amazing contortunists Mr Toper. Congratulations!
kiburt says
John Topper,
With your thinking, WE ARE SCREWED, ONE AND ALL.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Mr. Trump
Karen says
So so true! Trump does care about America…the Libtards are so brainwashed to not see who will make the Best President. Hillary is a Crimnal that the Libtards all cover her sins against America up..and we as a Nation are FOOLS to not see the TRUTH right before our eyes about Hillary Clinton’s track record. Deception has run amuk in the Left…and everyone seems to be “dumbed down” by this present Administration
Karen says
John Topper…you need to get over yourself…you are your own stumbling block. If you can’t see what the Liberals have been doing since Obama came to power…and how they have been destroying every foundation we stand upon, every single day that the liberal remains in office, YOU NEED TO EXAMINE YOUR OWN SELF. Under demonic influence people are deceived and brainwashed into believing lies to be the truth and the TRUTH to be Lies. God help us to open up our eyes and see the truth of all the Criminal activity and Deceptions that are being foisted upon us every day by the Far Left. And America will fail and fall if the Liberals remain in office another year. Immorality will bring forth plagues and diseases that have no cure…for sin when it is finished brings forth destruction. Deception when it breeds forth its poison will also aid in our own destruction. Going against God Almighty [YHWH] and standing against His Word, accepting what He calls Abominable lifestyles will come forth with diseases even more than before. And if you do not notice…The news is “total hush hush” about the Aids epidemic America and other nations are in today. We don’t hear a word…But I have read many articles online from the Medical Professionals that it is going out of control in America. Immorality breeds death and destruction of our own bodies. America if it continues on this slippery slope downward into the abbyss of deception and sinfullness against God …will find itself no more America the Beautiful. The God of the Universe, brought forth Our Nation and Blessed and Prospered her through Godly men and women. Our Forefathers! We need to turn back to the Ancient, Tried and True Pathway, that Narrow Way that God put us on to begin with…and fortify our foundation stones again, We were A Republic, till the enemy snuck into our midst and out came the “democrat/ demonic-rat” liberals that wanted to transform America into a Post-America…and they have been since them continued on their evil and destructive broad pathway leading us down down down, into the abyss.
Sheila says
Take a pill! Trump shoes you who he is and you guys see what you WANT to see !
You’ll be sorry!
Walter davis says
Like hope and change? Hope you didn’t vote for the guy who promised to help the poor and he and his friends got rich or went to prison…. like Tony resco
BUD DOWNEN says
Agree 100% on this with you read ISAIAH 5:20 and we are seeing this today by this WICKED OBAMA REGIME AND IF BITCH HILLARY GETS IN THIS COUNTRY IS DONE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE FREEDOM BECAUSE 48% of the American people r MORONS, IDIOTS FOR VOTING IN THIS PIECE OF SHIT OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE WAKE UP AMERICA AND COME TO YOUR KNEES AND PRAY TO GOD GOR HIS SON TO “RETURN”!!!!!!!
kiburt says
Sandy,
Count me in.
Drake says
Glenn Beck lost it along his way to success. Something changed him from a patriot to a terrorist globalist. It’s almost like he sold his soul and signed on to a new direction.
Susie says
Agree.I use to respect what I thought showed intelligent on Fox. No longer will I ever listen or watch him. He’s lost morality and gotten to big for his britches.
Karen says
So true Susie…I used to watch him on Fox News…but I saw him go from Patriot to Radical…and he left the “right” path to follow his own imagination…and that leads many open to deception!
Marie says
I wonder too! I had so much respect for him and now, it’s like he flipped his lid!
Constitutionalist says
Drake-
Glenn Beck lost it along his way to success. Something changed him from a patriot to a terrorist globalist. It’s almost like he sold his soul and signed on to a new direction.
i very much doubt his “patriotism” was ever genuine; i believe it far more likely that this paid shill, sycophant, toadie, lickspittle and Quisling was but acting as a “stalking horse,” attempting to flush out and identify the REAL patriots so they can be properly targeted for elimination…or harassment, e.g. like Ron Paul supporters.
DCB says
Beck thinks he’s above anybody else…his day of being “almighty” has come…I will gleefully smile as he goes down the tubes.
Sheila says
Are you talking about almighty Trump?!?
kiburt says
No Sheila, the talk is about the Muslim terrorist Beck and his assassins.
Larry342516 says
I wonder how he feels about Obama?
Robert says
This fool is getting goofer every time he spots off. How can he keep in the news. The F.B.I would lock you or me up if we made a comment like that.
Linda says
I agree, we have enough killing going on in this world without comment’s from anyone killing anybody! It’s true Beck is very unhealthy for anyone to listen to his mouth!
jerome gardiner says
Only those of great character are able to remain collectively sane when faced with great success. Beck has been headed downhill, face first for some time now. Losing status is one thing, but he now faces the loss of credibility. Beck should have clarified his statement. He could have been agreeing to the premise that Trump could be assassinated for his stances, but he allowed his acknowledgement to stand, giving everyone the right to their own interpretation. I remember day dreaming one day at a meeting, A question was posed that I acknowledged with a positive head shake. When I looked up, it was me all alone in a group of angry co workers, I could smell the tar burning as they were chopping down a telephone poll for my ride out of town. Thank goodness I am a great liar and escaped the humiliation by making everyone laugh. Taught me a lesson I never forgot, “If you are some place for a reason, be there.” Bye to Beck……….. you were a lot of fun for a while.
Justin W says
At this point Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee unless he dies or becomes incapacitated. I’ve been reluctant to mention that in earlier posts because some people would be more than willing to carry out a hit thinking they were doing the American people a favor. Robert Kennedy was murdered while running for president. In our country leaders are selected at the voting booth. Violence against candidates is wrong and the perpetrator should be prosecuted.
I’m going to guess that Sirius XM will probably let Beck off with a warning. If Beck is removed from Sirius it is likely some subscribers will cancel the service.
Lex F. says
I firmly believe that Beck has been secretly hitting the bottle again and its giving him Diahrea of the mouth. His panties have been all bunched up during the primaries and Since Ted Cruz lost. Hes acting like a huge baby.
Shame on him and his network cohorts that consistently tear down Trump at every chance. Incredible that a man that professes to be such a “Christian” and Spiritual would even support or say such a horrible idea. Love Trump or Hate him no one should be killed or assassinated because of their political beliefs just because they dont go along with yours. Good for SiriusXM radio for suspending him and I hope that I-Heart radio as well as Dish DirectTV and all other cable and Sat providers that carry his network suspend his broadcasts and reassess their contracts with his whole network.
Peggy says
See what our Free Speach has come to. Beck should be put in prison for threating killing someone. Same as Bill and Hillary for all they’ve done and Obama for treason for destroying our country. PUT THEM In PRISON for life. The Rosenburgs were executed for spying on AMERICA. Look at what Obama has done to AMERICA. Same punishment for him. God bless America and get rid of all evil in this country. In Jesus name, amen
Marie says
Amen!
joe says
Obama has overstepped his authority with great regularity, but the very religious Beck never advocated any harm to him….
Tim says
Neither Beck nor Thor said any such thing, and you know that very well. But the Trump party line is apparently more important than the truth.
Typical “progressives”.
Sheila says
Tim: your repeating yourself. Get a grip!
kiburt says
God bless you Peggy! You’re spot on.
John H. Wiley Jr, says
Glenn Beck is nutz !
Gilbert singh says
This Type Of Man Always, Wants Somebody To Do His Dirty Work” No Guts & No Ball’s, Nobody Will Do It For Free, But he does Not Want To Lose What He Has In Life, Just A Talker & A Player For The N.W.O.
Rob says
The same thing was suggested for George W. Bush and no one said S#$T, nor does anyone remember that except just a few people like myself. I am not surprised it has come to this. I used to think Glenn Beck had some damn sense but I don’t anymore. What a loon. If someone had suggested the same fate for Obummer they would have been thrown in jail without a trial and left to rot. They would never have been heard from again.
AW says
IN REALITY, GLENN BECK SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH PREMEDITATING AN ATTEMPTED MURDER AND USING THE AIR WAVES TO PUBLICALLY PROVOKE VIOLENCE AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL! A SUSPENSION ONLY, REALLY? HE SHOULD BE FIRED! ANOTHER PUBLIC SLIME BALL. CREEPS LIKE GLENN BECK IS WHY WE AMERICANS NEED TRUMP!
Tim says
Neither Beck nor Thor said any such thing, and you know that very well. But the Trump party line is apparently more important than the truth.
Typical “progressives”.
LS says
Brad should be held responsible for his comment, too, so should those anti-Trump protestors who held a sign up saying Trump will be assassinated after a week if he is elected. This kind of assassination talk should not be joked about or tolerated.
LS says
Brad should be held responsible, too, so should those protesters who held a sign up in Trump’s rally saying he will be assasinated in a week if he is elected. This kind of talk should not be joked around or tolerated.
Dr. D says
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy. What a jerk he is anyway. He is a legend in his own mind.
ohdaddy9 says
At least Trump has a mind…. What happened to yours ?????
BILL says
BECK HAS TURNED INTO A TOTAL ASSHOLE…. THE REASON ALL OF THEM WHO DOESN’T LIKE TRUMP IS….. HE’LL SCREW UP THE “GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM….” RYNE IS PULLING THE SYSTEW NOW…. YOU DO THIS FOR ME, AND I’LL DO THIS FOR YOU… IT MOST ALWAYS INCLUDES MONEY AT ONCE OR DOWN THE ROAD… WE HAVE THE BEST CONGRESS THAT MONEY CAN BUY…. WHY SHOULD IT TAKE MILLIONS TO RUN FOR MOST ANY OFFICE…
wayne Person says
Beck is no more for me! He sounds like he has taken up the juice again. All the Trump haters like Romney, McCain, Lindsey Graham and a host of others just don’t get it. The people are speaking loud and clear. There are times when I think the old Indian Chief was correct when he said “The right wing and the left wing belong to the same bird”.
I love the fact that Trump says what I and most others would like to say. The idiots like Rove say its not presidential. Is the Obama apology tour in Japan on Memorial day presidential. These people are a lot more than just dumb.
lawrence says
What an idiot! The Clintons and Obamas must be behind this unsavory ridicule as they are also behind the pressure against the Trumpets University lawsuit. The Trumpet will toot back as usual.. I never have laughed so hard listening to these news casters and these polutitions garbage talk. Yes I misspelled politicians purposely.
Wanda McGinnis says
When someone says, we need to “step up” to stop a candidate, it is subject to interpretation.
No one said that he needs to be eliminated, just stopped. I would like to see someone “step up” and stop Hillary and that other guy, but I certainly would not for all the world want to see anyone assassinated. We must be thoughtfully refrain from reading into a person’s words, a meaning which may not intended.
Greg says
Glen Wreck is an idiot for making or endorsing a statement like this no matter who you are going for!
joe says
GLEN BECK IS AND ALWAYS B A FIRST CLASS AHOLE..
Jim Evans says
Did he ever say that about Obama ?
