SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck after an interview he did last week with author Brad Thor about a "hypothetical" situation where Donald Trump was president and abusing his power. Thor mused on the air since Congress will not be able to remove Trump from office should he be elected, "what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president?" Beck said he agreed with his guest's comment. Both Beck and Thor came under fire for their comments. Thor defended himself on Twitter saying, "What @glennbeck & I discussed was a hypothetical scenario in which a President Trump goes full dictator." However, SiriusXM indicated Beck and his guest went too far. "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," SiriusXM told FOX411 in a statement. "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." A rep for Beck did not immediately return FOX411's request for comment.

Will be interesting to see if Mark Levin defends Beck tonight.

I can't imagine Levin stepping up to defend violent action.
Idiotic comment, seeing that Congress has that power.
Agree. But Levin does seem to take up for Beck a lot. And Levin is a lawyer, so he might want to put a lawyers slant on it. I will tune in to Levin tonight to see what, if anything he does. We will see.

We will see. Hie website "The Blaze" is still up, and likely pay per view too if you're desperate for a fix. ;) No thanks. I can pick up Levin on Tune In.

Been listening to Levin since he came on. No mention of Beck. Mostly has talked about the guy in NY that beat the guy that had attacked his wife.

Still listening to Levin, and fortunately no mention of Beck. Tonight he sounds like the Levin I remember. He has talked about the man that beat the guy that tried to rape his wife, the gorilla story, about McConnell pushing his book, and he has talked about rescuing dogs from the shelters. I always remembered Levin doing a lot of good for shelter dogs. Glad I listened tonight.
