The Founder of the Blaze is an enthusiastic supporter of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and he's opposed the nomination of New York billionaire Donald Trump from the beginning. But as the likelihood of a Trump candidacy has become more real, Beck has ratcheted up his rhetoric.
This week, he went too far:
During a monologue Friday about Donald Trump’s Thursday night debate performance, radio host Glenn Beck said that if he “had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
Beck’s co-host, Stu Burguiere, told The Daily Caller Friday — after this article’s publication — that, despite the appearance of a threat against Trump, Beck was instead playfully threatening to murder his own co-host.
Beck began the segment by stating his amazement at how conservatives across the country aren’t up in arms over Trump’s debate behavior.
“I don’t know what I would have done if I was sitting in” Cruz or Rubio’s shoes, Beck stated. “I can’t say it that way. If I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him? I believe these things.'”
At that point, Burguiere began to rib Beck for the “sitting in shoes” analogy.
Beck went on: “If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
We know that Beck has a flare for the dramatic, but this is a bridge too far.

The Yale educated Morman needs a visit from the Secret service if he hasn't already gotten one. Also, does the picture look like Phil Donahue or what? Maybe he's some kind of creepy reincarnation.
Trump needs to file a criminal complaint with the Secret Service.
Beck needs to be arrested.
Beck thinks he is a important figure this coming from a guy who admitted suicide attempts.
he was visited by the Secret Service and by the way Mitt Romney out there saying that he will step in and save the day is just as crazy
sure sounds like a threat to me, if he would have said that about filthary, what would have happened
I've heard this video many times and frankly, Glenn has dropped his basket. He tries to sway people into believing he was saying this about his producer? Right. That's about as real as the Climate Change myth. He was threatening Trump; therefore, elated the Secret Service is actively investigating him. He needs to be on their radar. There is a very distinct line between Free Speech and threatening the life of another. It's about time the people demand better from political pundits, regardless of what side of the aisle they reside.
Sounds like this is right up there with GHW Bush displaying a 'throat cut' motion at Trump. Beeee careful, Mr. Trump.
