Not wrong on either point.

The whole mission of the church is "The gathering of Israel." Where the Abrahamic covenant is restored and extended to the whole human family, via Ordinances at their Temples.

There is a parallel to the curse of Cain Ham in the Book of Mormon, too. Where sin causes the skin of the Lamanites to turn dark, which explains the dark skin of Native Americans.

The LDS Church has since backed off the latter point, allowing non-whites to receive the priesthood, and marking that teaching as in error. (They are trying to be a world church, pursuant to the former goal.)

However, in Glenn Beck's case, the simpler answer is that he's a ticket-taker who happens to have been Mormon. His response to the JQ aligns with that analysis more than Mormon theology. EDIT: You see the same thing with Sanderson and the LGBTQ+ stance he's taken.
