Melania Trump Is Not Adolf Hitler's Wife

Inauguration day is less than three weeks away and Melania Trump is keeping a low profile. However, the long-time client of designers Dolce & Gabbana is being unfairly compared to Eva Braun after the fashion duo complimented a cocktail dress she wore on New Year's Eve.

"Does anybody on the left buy any Hugo Boss? Because only haters would buy Hugo Boss because Hugo Boss actually designed and produced the SS black uniforms for Adolf Hitler. At the time, they knew who he was, they knew what he was doing, and not only did they produce them, design them, they created them using Jewish slaves in labor camps," Glenn said.

Consistency has never been a hallmark of the left. Rather, double standards are the standard of the day.

"You don't take a Bayer Aspirin, do you? Because Bayer Aspirin, the sister company was IG Farben and IG Farben, of course, was the one that made Zyklon B, the gas chamber gas," Glenn said.

You can't have it both ways, liberals.

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

 

 

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: We're okay with that. You know, but apparently -- apparently, that's okay now to some students in Columbia and up in Boston. Other students are going down because it's time for a revolution.

Who are we becoming, and where do you stand? Will you add fuel to the revolutionary fire, or will you try to grab the fire hose? I'll play the amazing audio to you right now.

(music)

GLENN: Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I want to start with something that I mentioned last hour, and I want to make sure that we get to it. Because, again, it is one of these things -- one of these things that I just think we -- we need to point out to our friends on the left that this is not reasonable.

Inauguration day is less than three weeks away. Melania Trump has made a point of keeping a low profile. She is probably the lowest profile First Lady I've seen in a long time.

I mean, Bush was -- Laura Bush was pretty low profile. But, you know, she was -- she was the typical First Lady, where you didn't -- you didn't read anything really about her, except in Better Homes and Gardens or magazines like that. Here's Melania Trump that could be everywhere and is withdrawing. Doesn't want anything to do with it.

Listen to this: Keeping a low profile, but she is to be -- her choice of Dolce & Gabbana's dress for New Year's Eve in Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago kicked off an online firestorm.

She was -- she's a long-time client of the Italian brand. She wore a black Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress with bows on each shoulder.

Stefano Gabbana thanked her via Instagram, with #madeinItaly and called her a DG woman. It posted -- it generated more than 13,000 likes and 1100 comments, as of Tuesday afternoon. Among other things, the designer called her a beautiful woman.

In response to one Instagramer comment, "No. Whether she's beautiful or not, would you proud to dress Eva Braun?"

He responded, "Who is Eva Brown?"

Okay.

(laughter)

PAT: First of all, to compare Melania Trump to Eva Braun is asinine. Ludicrous.

GLENN: Well, on multiple levels.

PAT: Insanity.

GLENN: Insanity. Insanity. Donald Trump is not Adolf Hitler. In fact, only Adolf Hitler is Adolf Hitler.

PAT: Come on. Yes.

GLENN: And Eva Braun was insane. Insane.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And to compare Melania Trump to this -- and so I -- I would just like to point out to all of the -- because the designers now are saying they will not make clothes for Melania Trump.

Well, let's talk about the bakers that wouldn't make a wedding cake, and those people had their First Amendment religious right at stake.

PAT: And completely violated.

GLENN: And completely violated. And you, now because you're a big-time fashion designer, you want to play by your own rules and say, "No, I got to pick and choose. I don't have to sell her a dress if I don't want to."

PAT: The bakers in Oregon were forced to pay $137,000 penalty to the couple they denied the wedding cake to. Wow.

GLENN: So let me -- so let me ask this: Do the designers -- do you still work for Hugo Boss, or have you shunned them? I mean, does anybody on the left buy any Hugo Boss? Because only haters would buy Hugo Boss because Hugo Boss actually designed and produced the SS black uniforms for Adolf Hitler. At the time, they knew who he was, they knew what he was doing, and not only did they produce them, designed them, they created them using Jewish slaves in labor camps.

Do you have a problem with Hugo Boss? I'm sure you're shunning them, right? Because you're willing to call Melania Trump Eva Braun. So if you're willing to say that about somebody who has nothing in common with Eva Braun, then, of course, you're shunning Hugo Boss.

Or how about the Rockefeller Foundation? Because you hate the Rockefeller Foundation, right?

The Rockefeller Foundation, you know, they actually helped found -- their money helped found the German eugenics program. Even funding -- the Rockefeller Foundation funded the program that Josef Mengele was working on before he went to Auschwitz.

So you're against the -- the Rockefeller Foundation, right? I mean, they funded Josef Mengele. So you, of course, don't have anything to do with them, right? Or Bayer. You don't take a Bayer Aspirin, do you? Because Bayer Aspirin, the sister company was IG Farben. And IG Farben, of course, was the one that made Zyklon B, the gas chamber gas.

So you would never take a Bayer Aspirin. Because that's not like, "Oh, my gosh." That's like Bayer Aspirin that helped develop Zyklon B. It's not like the people who designed Zyklon B. It is the people that designed Zyklon B.

Hugo Boss is not like the people who made the SS uniforms with Jewish slave labor. They are the company that made the SS uniforms with Jewish slave labor.

So I'm sure you care about that now, right?

I'm sorry. But just a few weeks ago -- a couple of weeks ago, we got off the plane from Haiti. And Pat and I went to Haiti and witnessed things that I've -- that I knew, but I didn't know.

I know that there are more slaves on planet earth today than ever. But they are so far distant from me, that I don't -- I can't relate to it, until I stand there and look at the fruit in Haiti and I look at the avocados from the Dominican Republic or the bananas from the Dominican Republic that we all eat that sit on my counter. And then see the children that had been caught in the slave trade because of all of the death of so many parents during the last hurricane. And was it an earthquake or hurricane? I can't remember now.

PAT: Earthquake.

GLENN: Earthquake. So many children. 300,000 homeless that were swept up into the slave trade.

But does anybody really care about that now? No, there's a lot of churches that go over. There's a lot of churches that are doing a lot of good will. And there are some churches that think they're doing a lot of good things, and they're not.

For instance, I don't know if you caught this, Pat, but we drove by what they would call a store. I would call it a slum house.

We were on a really busy street in Haiti, and we went by this store. And there, sitting on the shelves of the store, were bags of rice with the American flag on it. That rice was supposed to be given, not sold. Given, not sold. They're selling it in stores.

Corruption is rampant. And that rice, because we gave so much rice, the rice farmers can no longer make any rice because they got plenty of rice coming from the United States. So they can no longer grow food for themselves.

We think we're helping. Indeed, we may actually be hurting them. And on top of it, when you see orphanage after orphanage after orphanage where the country is being trapped in corruption and slavery and you come up to these children who are three years old, I have a boy -- Pat, you have two sons.

PAT: Three.

GLENN: Jeffy, you have --

JEFFY: I've got two sons and a daughter.

GLENN: I'm only pointing out sons because sons are usually over everything. Are they not? They're crawling. They're moving. They're constantly --

JEFFY: Oh.

GLENN: You held a baby girl for a long time. Robert and I held boys. I held that boy in my arms for probably 45 minutes. He held me and wrapped his arms around my neck. And every time I would try to put him down, he would hold tighter. What 3-year-old boy is doing that? He would push his face -- and I think the girl did it to you and the boy did it to Robin. They would push their face against our faces for skin-to-skin contact. They just wanted human affection.

Where is -- where is Hollywood on slavery? Where is Black Lives Matter? If black lives matter, you want to know where hell is, it's called Haiti. You want to fix the problem, there's ways to fix the problem.

We met with a guy in Haiti, probably one of the braver men I've ever met. Would you agree with that, Pat?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: This guy was in charge of the sex crimes and slavery division in Haiti. You know you have a problem when you have a slavery division of your government task force.

He came in and met with us. And he actually had to walk in through a side door because he couldn't be seen with a couple of other people from Haiti, I guess. I don't know how that all worked.

But he came in and he spoke. And he said, "I just put the -- the main, if you will, Secret Service agent, the guy who is in charge of the president of Haiti, of his security, I just put him in prison for molestation of his daughter." Right? It was some sexual molestation charge.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: The president of Haiti pardoned him. This guy went back and said, "Sorry, no can do." And put him back in prison.

I looked at him and said, "You are completely alone, and even the president doesn't want this to stop." He knew he was facing a death penalty. Any doubt in your mind?

PAT: No.

GLENN: He knew. I have a good shot at dying for this, but it's worth it.

Can we maybe stop talking about, "I will design a dress, or I won't design a dress for Melania?"

Personally, I don't think -- if you don't want to design a dress for Melania, I don't think she's going to give a rat's ass. I don't think she's going to care. Not going to care. And it will say more about you than her.

But if you really want to have some standards, maybe you should talk to Hugo Boss. Maybe you should stop taking Bayer Aspirin. Maybe you should never use an IBM product. You know they made the filing system for the death camps. IBM helped sort the Jews out so they could help find them more efficiently. Maybe you should do that. Or you could just claim that Melania is Eva Braun. Eva Braun and so you're never going to make a dress. But please then don't talk to me about the baker who says, "Because of my religion, I can't be a part of your ceremony," if you're only talking to me about not making your precious dress for a person you disagree with their political stance. Not their religious stance.

Media, if somebody doesn't wake up soon, your window is closing. If somebody in media doesn't start reaching out -- quite honestly, a few people have. If you don't start to see some changes from the media, you're going to lose your opportunity.

But maybe they'll get more ratings that way. I was told by somebody -- did an interview yesterday with I think it was Variety. And they said, "How do you sell -- how do you sell a show that's not wrapped around fear or calling people names? Because that's what everybody does now." And I said, "Yeah, I know. And I think everybody is sick of it." He said, "Well, it doesn't usually prove out to be true." And I said, "Well, then I'll be broke, but I'll at least have my soul." But I think there's a strong hunger for people coming together.

My Patriot Supply.

At least there is with me.

New analysts suggest that climactic trends that lead to greater hurricane activity also create a coastal buffer that weaken storms at landfall.

Wait. What? The author of the study who is an atmospheric scientist called it an incredibly lucky phenomenon.

Climactic trends that lead to greater hurricane activity also are at the same time creating a coastal buffer that weakens the storm just before it hits land. You can call that --

PAT: Weird.

GLENN: Yeah, you can call that lucky.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: I might call that protection or Divine Providence or grace. Anything that we don't actually deserve. That's an amazing thing.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Anyway, My Patriot Supply is standing by to help. Whether you find yourself caught in an emergency like a hurricane or any other emergency or just -- you just can't make ends meet at the end of the month -- that is not uncommon. Seventy-two-hour emergency food kit now is only $10. Ten dollars for a 72-hour emergency food kit. That means if you have a family of four, you have an emergency, for three days, you don't have to worry about any food. Because you have it all. And it's little teeny packages that can be, you know, put into backpacks, thrown into the back of the car, and you're gone. Or you have three days' worth of food. If you're making it short at the end of the month, how much? For breakfast, lunch, and dinner for four people for three days. How much is it? Forty bucks.

$10 a kit. 72-hour emergency food kit for $10. Call them now. Call them now. 800-200-9031. 200-9031. 1-800-200-9031. Or you can go to preparewithGlenn.com. That's preparewithGlenn.com.

Emergency 72-hour food kit. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, $10. Limit four per caller. 800-200-9031 or preparewithGlenn.com.

(OUT AT 10:25AM)

GLENN: So Eva Braun, the long-time girlfriend and said to be wife in the last few minutes of Adolf Hitler's life, Eva Braun, Melania Trump was compared to Eva Braun by people who are fighting for fashion because they said she's a beautiful woman and they're glad she's wearing her dress.

PAT: Dolce & Gabbana said it.

GLENN: Yeah, Dolce & Gabbana said it. And they're getting hammered for it. You know, I pointed out the history of Hugo Boss and the Rockefeller Foundation and all they did.

PAT: IBM.

GLENN: Just a couple of things. You know, there also was BMW. And I'm sure that nobody on the left drives a BMW. Because BMW used 30,000 slave labors, POW, and Jewish camp laborers to build BMWs.

JEFFY: That's why you never see any BMWs on the road.

GLENN: And, you know, Ford and GM, they control 70 percent of the automobile factories that became munitions factories. Ford and GM. That's why Hitler loved Ford. But I'm sure nobody in Hollywood. I know that your dress is very important. And to say that she should not be wearing one of your dresses because she's like Eva Braun, I'm sure those things that are like a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer are disturbing. But certainly, it's much more disturbing for those that are not like them, but actually those people who sympathized and supported, right?

I mean, right? We need reparations.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: White people have got to pay for what happened in 1860. And I know you believe that. I know that what happened with slavery 150 to 200 and 400 years ago, that is white guilt. But I'm sure seeing that this one happened in either your lifetime or the lifetime of your parents and it affected the entire world and it was so horrific, I'm sure that you're -- because I know how you feel about Eva Braun who really had nothing to do with the war. She was just the love interest of Adolf Hitler.

So I know how passionately you feel about her. You must be passionate about Hugo Boss

PAT: Oh, because they're so consistent. You know that they're just as passionate about that. You know they are. You know they are. Of course.

GLENN: Yeah. Or not.

PAT: Or not.

GLENN: Or not. I'm not sure which one it is right now. Back in a minute.

The West is dying—Will we let enemies write our ending?

Harvey Meston / Staff | Getty Images

The blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, and soldiers built our civilization. Their sacrifice demands courage in the present to preserve it.

Lamentations asks, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?”

That question has been weighing on me heavily. Not just as a broadcaster, but as a citizen, a father, a husband, a believer. It is a question that every person who cares about this nation, this culture, and this civilization must confront: Is all of this worth saving?

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

Western civilization — a project born in Judea, refined in Athens, tested in Rome, reawakened in Wittenberg, and baptized again on the shores of Plymouth Rock — is a gift. We didn’t earn it. We didn’t purchase it. We were handed it. And now, we must ask ourselves: Do we even want it?

Across Europe, streets are restless. Not merely with protests, but with ancient, festering hatred — the kind that once marched under swastikas and fueled ovens. Today, it marches under banners of peace while chanting calls for genocide. Violence and division crack societies open. Here in America, it’s left against right, flesh against spirit, neighbor against neighbor.

Truth struggles to find a home. Even the church is slumbering — or worse, collaborating.

Our society tells us that everything must be reset: tradition, marriage, gender, faith, even love. The only sin left is believing in absolute truth. Screens replace Scripture. Entertainment replaces education. Pleasure replaces purpose. Our children are confused, medicated, addicted, fatherless, suicidal. Universities mock virtue. Congress is indifferent. Media programs rather than informs. Schools recondition rather than educate.

Is this worth saving? If not, we should stop fighting and throw up our hands. But if it is, then we must act — and we must act now.

The West: An idea worth saving

What is the West? It’s not a location, race, flag, or a particular constitution. The West is an idea — an idea that man is made in the image of God, that liberty comes from responsibility, not government; that truth exists; that evil exists; and that courage is required every day. The West teaches that education, reason, and revelation walk hand in hand. Beauty matters. Kindness matters. Empathy matters. Sacrifice is holy. Justice is blind. Mercy is near.

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

If not now, when? If not us, who? If this is worth saving, we must know why. Western civilization is worth dying for, worth living for, worth defending. It was built on the blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, pilgrims, moms, dads, and soldiers. They did not die for markets, pronouns, surveillance, or currency. They died for something higher, something bigger.

Yet hope remains. Resurrection is real — not only in the tomb outside Jerusalem, but in the bones of any individual or group that returns to truth, honor, and God. It is never too late to return to family, community, accountability, and responsibility.

Pick up your torch

We were chosen for this time. We were made for a moment like this. The events unfolding in Europe and South Korea, the unrest and moral collapse, will all come down to us. Somewhere inside, we know we were called to carry this fire.

We are not called to win. We are called to stand. To hold the torch. To ask ourselves, every day: Is it worth standing? Is it worth saving?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Pick up your torch. If you choose to carry it, buckle up. The work is only beginning.

Stop coasting: How self-education can save America’s future

Joe Raedle / Staff | Getty Images

Coasting through life is no longer an option. Charlie Kirk’s pursuit of knowledge challenges all of us to learn, act, and grow every day.

Last year, my wife and I made a commitment: to stop coasting, to learn something new every day, and to grow — not just spiritually, but intellectually. Charlie Kirk’s tragic death crystallized that resolve. It forced a hard look in the mirror, revealing how much I had coasted in both my spiritual and educational life. Coasting implies going downhill. You can’t coast uphill.

Last night, my wife and I re-engaged. We enrolled in Hillsdale College’s free online courses, inspired by the fact that Charlie had done the same. He had quietly completed around 30 courses before I even knew, mastering the classics, civics, and the foundations of liberty. Watching his relentless pursuit of knowledge reminded me that growth never stops, no matter your age.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures.

This lesson is particularly urgent for two groups: young adults stepping into the world and those who may have settled into complacency. Learning is life. Stop learning, and you start dying. To young adults, especially, the college promise has become a trap. Twelve years of K-12 education now leave graduates unprepared for life. Only 35% of seniors are proficient in reading, and just 22% in math. They are asked to bet $100,000 or more for four years of college that will often leave them underemployed and deeply indebted.

Degrees in many “new” fields now carry negative returns. Parents who have already sacrificed for public education find themselves on the hook again, paying for a system that often fails to deliver.

This is one of the reasons why Charlie often described college as a “scam.” Debt accumulates, wages are not what students were promised, doors remain closed, and many are tempted to throw more time and money after a system that won’t yield results. Graduate school, in many cases, compounds the problem. The education system has become a factory of despair, teaching cynicism rather than knowledge and virtue.

Reclaiming educational agency

Yet the solution is not radical revolt against education — it is empowerment to reclaim agency over one’s education. Independent learning, self-guided study, and disciplined curiosity are the modern “Napster moment.” Just as Napster broke the old record industry by digitizing music, the internet has placed knowledge directly in the hands of the individual. Artists like Taylor Swift now thrive outside traditional gatekeepers. Likewise, students and lifelong learners can reclaim intellectual freedom outside of the ivory towers.

Each individual possesses the ability to think, create, and act. This is the power God grants to every human being. Knowledge, faith, and personal responsibility are inseparable. Learning is not a commodity to buy with tuition; it is a birthright to claim with effort.

Charlie Kirk’s life reminds us that self-education is an act of defiance and empowerment. In his pursuit of knowledge, in his engagement with civics and philosophy, he exemplified the principle that liberty depends on informed, capable citizens. We honor him best by taking up that mantle — by learning relentlessly, thinking critically, and refusing to surrender our minds to a system that profits from ignorance.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures. Every day, seek to grow, create, and act. Charlie showed the way. It is now our responsibility to follow.

Glenn Beck joins TPUSA tour to honor Charlie Kirk

Joe Raedle / Staff | Getty Images

If they thought the murder of Charlie Kirk would scare us into silence, they were wrong!

If anything, Turning Point will hit the road louder than ever. On Monday, September 22, less than two weeks after the assassination, Charlie's friends united under the Turning Point USA banner to carry his torch and honor his legacy by doing what he did best: bringing honest and truthful debate to Universities across the nation.

Naturally, Glenn has rallied to the cause and has accepted an invitation to join the TPUSA tour at the University of North Dakota on October 9th.

Glenn's daughter honors Charlie Kirk with emotional tribute song

MELISSA MAJCHRZAK / Contributor | Getty Images

On September 17th, Glenn commemorated his late friend Charlie Kirk by hosting The Charlie Kirk Show Podcast, where he celebrated and remembered the life of a remarkable young man.

During the broadcast, Glenn shared an emotional new song performed by his daughter, Cheyenne, who was standing only feet away from Charlie when he was assassinated. The song, titled "We Are One," has been dedicated to Charlie Kirk as a tribute and was written and co-performed by David Osmond, son of Alan Osmond, founding member of The Osmonds.

Glenn first asked David Osmond to write "We Are One" in 2018, as he predicted that dark days were on the horizon, but he never imagined that it would be sung by his daughter in honor of Charlie Kirk. The Lord works in mysterious ways; could there have been a more fitting song to honor such a brave man?

"We Are One" is available for download or listening on Spotify HERE
