I believe this makes him only the third person to be suspended from satellite radio for things said on the air. The first two were for bringing a homeless guy in the studio and he went off on some crazy rant about wanting to rape Laurel Bush and Condeleza Rice.

I wonder how the narrative would differ if Beck and Thir had been discussing the incumbent.

We all know trump is running on the ANTI politically correct platform, that's what his supporters love the most about him. He says whatever crap comes into his pea brain. It seems hypocritical to try and shut up others who aren't being PC.

Some may refer too an AZZhole as a hole in the ground. Even though they're both considered holes, their similarities are very different.So i agree "what patriot will step up" to "stop" president TRUMP if he tried to exceed the powers of his office. Politically correct, you have to be careful in each word spoken. Beck agreed with quote made by Thor. Silly....sure.

You might want to see a counselor.

Biding time???? I think an accurate recollection would be that people were singing his praises on a daily basis. I still can't look at white boards without wanting to scream

We were biding our time til he finally went to seed.

No one noticed his craziness back in 2007-2008 on Fox News?

Beck and Thor were planning a political assassination on the air.

Something about that seems wrong.

I know that Sirius can do whatever they want, but I disagree with them on this one. The show's contract should be based on whether it can bring in the listeners and advertisers, not whether the host says what Sirius wants him to say.

It's a sad day when Howard Stern can have a woman break the record for the most number of queefs and it's OK, but Beck says "I would agree with you on that" and gets suspended.

SiriusXM suspends Glenn Beck over Trump comments on show

NEW YORK (AP) - Conservative host Glenn Beck has been suspended by SiriusXM satellite radio for agreeing with an author who asked hypothetically "what patriot will step up" to remove Republican Donald Trump from office if he's elected president and oversteps his authority.

SiriusXM said Beck's program was suspended for this week and the company was "evaluating its place" in the lineup.

The comments "may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office," SiriusXM said in a statement.

During an interview May 25, author Brad Thor said he was "about to suggest something very bad" before citing a weak Congress and asking "what patriot will step up" to stop President Trump if he tried to exceed the powers of his office.

"I would agree with you on that," Beck responded.

Thor, a frequent guest of Beck's and an author of thriller novels, said in a statement to The Associated Press that he and Beck "were discussing a speculative future America under a dictator."

"Safeguarding the Republic against a dictatorship is a topic of conversation that dates back to the Founders. If we had to unseat a president without the backing of the Congress, we would need a patriot along the lines of George Washington to lead the country from tyranny back to liberty," he said.

A representative for Beck didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Beck created a subscription website and a syndicated radio network after leaving his Fox News television program in 2011. Beck's show on Fox ended amid a boycott of advertisers after Beck said Democratic President Barack Obama had "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
