Glenn's Show Prep

Melania Trump Is Not Adolf Hitler's Wife

January 05, 2017
Staff

WRITER

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.

Here are the TOP 5 things you NEED to know about Trump's potential indictment

Brandon Bell / Staff, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

Trump's potential indictment is one of the most historically significant events in our nation's history—and no, that is not a hyperbolic statement.

If Trump is federally prosecuted, by a state-level District Attorney no less, then America may be entering a new territory past which there is no return: the weaponization of our judicial system against the top political opponents to the ruling class. As Glenn has said, weaponizing our judiciary is something we see in banana republics. Is America about to become one?

With all of the news and hype around Trump's potential indictment, it is easy to lose sight of the core issues that truly give this story historical significance. Here are five core aspects of this story that have the potential to transform our nation going forward.

1. Trump committed a misdemeanor, NOT a felony. 

The allegations against Trump pertain to "hush money" given to the porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 Presidential Campaign. Trump's advisor Michael Cohen gave Daniels $130,000 of his own money after Daniels threatened to publicize her alleged affair with Trump just days before the 2016 election. Cohen wrote off the money as "legal fees" under his campaign finance funds. Trump then reimbursed Cohen for the expenses once he was in the White House.

Trump has maintained that he never had an affair with Daniels and that he is the victim of an extortion scheme. But that is besides the point. New York DA Alvin Bragg is potentially indicting Trump based on mislabeling the "hush money" as "legal fees" under campaign finance laws.

Even NBC acknowledges that mislabeling campaign finances is a "misdemeanor," not a felony, yet Trump is being prosecuted as if it were. The only way the "crime" could be turned into a felony is if the mislabeling was done to cover up another crime. Yet, as NBC admits, it is unclear whether Bragg has evidence of another crime that Trump was trying to cover up.

If you are thinking, "Wait, this is old news, right?" you would be correct. There is a reason why no one has prosecuted Trump based on the Stormy Daniels hush money in the seven years since it occurred—because there simply is no federal case. So why has Alvin Bragg decided to prosecute Trump now? Well, for one thing, Trump announced he is running for President again in 2024, and the Left simply can't let that happen.

2. Hillary Clinton committed the SAME crime. 

The double standard of Trump's potential indictment is made even more clear when compared with Hillary Clinton, who committed the same misdemeanor.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential campaign "misreported" funds received from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that went towards the infamous Steele Dossier, which aimed at linking Trump to collusion with the Russian government (which was proven to be a complete farce). Clinton's campaign wrote off the Steele Dossier funds as "legal services"—sound familiar?

She and the DNC paid the Federal Election Commission $113,000 to the Federal Election Commission, and the issue was swept under the rug. Yet Trump is being accused of the SAME misdemeanor—mislabeling campaign finance funds—and he is being threatened with federal prosecution.

3. Trump's possible indictment is "very conveniently" timed to overshadow the Biden family's corruption. 

On March 16, 2023, the House Oversight Committee released a scathing memorandum detailing the illicit business dealings between the Biden family and the Chinese state-owned energy company, State Energy HK Limited.

According to bank records subpoenaed by the committee, the Chinese energy company wired $3 million to Delaware-based Robinson Walker LLC two months after Biden left the White House in 2017. At the time of the wire transfer, the business account only had $159 thousand. Now it had over $3 million.

The very next day, Robinson Walker LLC wired over $1 million to a company associated with James Gillar, a business partner of Hunter Biden’s.

Over the next 3 months, Robinson Walker LLC would send incremental payments to multiple members of the Biden family and their companies, including Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's brother, James, and Beau Biden's ex-wife, Hallie. The transfers included another "mysterious" recipient titled simply, “Biden." Who could that possibly be?

Let's get this straight: Trump's potential misdemeanor-turned-felony is making front-page news while Biden's DOCUMENTED business dealings with a foreign entity and enemy to the United States are being swept under the rug. How "convenient" for Biden.

4. Weaponizing judiciary 

This week, we published a poll to see what YOU think of Trump's potential indictment, and most of you overwhelmingly believe our judiciary is being weaponized against anyone on the right side of the aisle—and you are absolutely correct.

Glenn aptly pointed out that using the judiciary to attack political opponents is something we see in banana republics, but now we are witnessing it in the U.S. before our eyes. As Glenn said, the strategy in banana republics is, "Show me the man, and I will find you the crime." They want Trump GONE, and now they are trying to conjure up the crime to do it.

It is very telling that conservatives are fearful of protesting Trump's potential indictment. As Glenn said, we all want a peaceful response. However, conservatives are now taking pause before peaceful protest after seeing the DOJ ruthlessly prosecutethousands of individuals on January 6, even those who never reached the capitol grounds. Is protesting Trump's indictment worth the risk of arrest?

The fact that this question arises in people's minds is extremely indicative of our current political climate. Our judiciary has been weaponized against conservatives, and now we have to think twice before publicly standing up for our beliefs. Sounding more like a banana republic?

5. This is the FIRST time a U.S. President has been federally prosecuted. 

If Trump is federally indicted, it would solidify the judiciary's ability to become a weapon against political opponents, even up to the position of a U.S. President. This should give all Americans grave concern. This issue is much bigger than Trump; it is about whether we want to live in a nation whose ruling power can use its judicial system to go after its opponents.

Consider, for a moment, if the tables were turned. What if a Trump-appointed DA federally indicted President Obama for a state-level misdemeanor that resulted in throwing him in prison? Is that the "America" you would want to live in? It would arguably cease to be "America" as we know it and devolve into an ungovernable shell of what it once was.

This harrowing possibility is materializing beneath our very noses. There were many events that led up to the fall of the Roman republic into an empire, but it was the singular event of Caesar crossing the Rubicon that tipped the republic past the point of no return. Could this be our Rubicon moment? Are we, like Cicero, witnessing our republic mutate into something unrecognizable before our very eyes?

Though prosecuting Trump may yield some political vengeance and satisfaction for one side of the aisle in the short term, it poses an insurmountable threat to both sides of the aisle in the long-term trajectory of our country.

Here's how YOU can get access to Glenn's show prep from March 23, 2023

THE DOCUMENTS for 'The Big Distraction' Glenn TV special

The big news item of the week is Trump's potential indictment from New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg. According to our recent poll, most of you think that Trump's potential indictment is NOT about holding Trump accountable for a crime—most of you think it's a weaponization of our judicial system against the Left's number one enemy.

On Wednesday's episode of Glenn TV, Glenn dove into the details behind Trump's potential indictment and suggested even more nefarious intentions behind the indictment—to distract from the House Oversight Committee's bombshell memorandum revealing Biden's illicit business dealings with China.

How PREPARED is Glenn's audience? The results are IN!

Last week, Glenn published his updated "Preparedness Quiz" to see how prepared his audience is for a big crisis—and the results are in! Thankfully, not very many of you are "Toast." In fact, most of you could survive a big disaster, and even some of you could survive a nuclear apocalypse—not very many could say that!

If you haven't taken the quiz already, you can take it HERE, and be sure to download Glenn's "Ultimate Preparedness Guide" filled with practical tips on how to keep you and your family safe for a future crisis.


1.7% of Glenn's audience is TOAST! Thankfully, that's very few of you. 

There is little chance you'd survive repairing your kitchen table, not to mention enduring a massive economic crisis or natural disaster. With no money, food, or supplies stocked up, you will have to rely on the altruism of your more-prepared friends and family. But then again, if you can't even navigate to their house without your phone, you may still be TOAST.

13.8% of Glenn's audience could survive a little disaster. 

Congrats on having some of your finances set aside for emergencies... and some useful tools and skills tucked away in case of an emergency. You could potentially endure a "little disaster" of financial hardship. However, if you want to survive a massive financial crisis or natural disaster, you're going to have to start stockpiling some more money and supplies.

68.9% of Glenn's audience could survive a big disaster. 

Congrats on being more prepared than most! You have some investment in precious metals, an emergency fund, some food and supplies stockpiled, and maybe an extra generator. Even though you may not be a "prepper," you have taken steps to prepare for hard times, which will protect you and your loved ones for weeks... even months—which is way better than nothing!

14.7% of Glenn's audience could survive a nuclear apocalypse. 

Congratulations on being one of the few people in this world who could actually survive a nuclear apocalypse! Seriously... there are very few of you. Your bunker is stocked with food, water, and supplies to last you MONTHS. Your silver, gold, and emergency fund will help you cruise in times of financial distress. You can secure more goods because you have learned a bunch of "barter" skills. Congrats on being able to keep yourself and your loved ones safe!
