On Monday, MSNBC host and podcaster Nicolle Wallace welcomed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to The Best People for a truly surreal interview. Within the span of only a couple of minutes, Wallace would declare that no Democrat has ever compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, then claim that if they did, it would be appropriate, and then sit back and listen as Pritzker did precisely that, all while claiming he wasn’t. Pritzker’s conceit was to say that he wasn’t suggesting that Trump would throw people in death camps, but that what Trump is doing follows a similar authoritarian playbook to one the Nazis used to amass power. With that in mind, Wallace claimed that the Nazi comparisons are completely appropriate: You put, sort of, the intellectual architecture around something that, I mean, JD Vance called Donald Trump America's Hitler. It's not a partisan analysis, right? There is an intrigue there that's been noted by JD Vance and reported on by journalists, but you've put some architecture behind the parallels that involve all of us, and you've talked about the first thing you said was people being asked for their papers, American citizens being asked to show up with papers, street vendors being asked to produce passports, rounding people up, and good people looking the other way, thinking, ‘That's not about me, you know, I'm a citizen,’ but who do they go after next? We talk a little bit about why that's so uncomfortable for so many people.     Pritzker concurred, “Yeah. I do want to, you know, separate myself from the idea that I'm calling him Hitler—” Wallace then interrupted him to add, "I don’t think any Democrat has compared Trump to Hitler." I actually—and I think it’s a smear that they project back onto critics.” Fact-check: Democrats can’t stop comparing Trump to Hitler and have also compared non-Trump Republicans to Hitler. Nevertheless, Wallace rolled on, “But I—JD Vance called Donald Trump cultural heroin. He called him America's Hitler. I mean, the attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist came from three generals who worked for him. I mean, the most brutal critiques have come from people that have seen him far more closely than you or I combined, but I think that gets lumped in with what is a very thoughtful analysis about all of us— at looking the other way has an equally harrowing echo in history.” Once again, Pritzker agreed and, while insisting he wasn’t playing the Nazi card, invoked Martin Niemoller: Yeah, I appreciate that and my point, and I think the point you're making is that, you know, we've seen this before with totalitarians and authoritarians. That there's a well-worn path throughout history, and you can recognize the signs of it, and that it just happens that the authoritarian and totalitarian history that I know best is having built a Holocaust museum, sitting next to those survivors for 10 years doing it, and learning so much about the Holocaust, and my own family's experience, you know, escaping the Russian killings of Jews in the 19th century in Ukraine. I think it's easy to recognize this. The question is, are people going to, you know, the, I think we all ought to go reread Martin Niemoller's poem. ‘First They Came’ is the name of it, and, you know, because it's right.” Pritzker added, “I mean, if you can substitute different names in there for, you know, for socialists or Jews or, you know, trade unionists, and it all applies today, you know, it happens that what the Nazis did was they went after immigrants first. Just so happens, you know, and then they, and then they categorized people who were German citizens but weren't maybe multi-generational German citizens as immigrants after they had demonized immigrants, right? And now you're put in a demonized category.” For a duo that is desperately trying to claim no Democrat would ever compare Trump to Hitler, they sure do seem to love a Nazi analogy. Here is a transcript for the October 27 show: MSNBC The Best People with Nicolle Wallace 10/27/2025 NICOLLE WALLACE: You put, sort of, the intellectual architecture around something that, I mean, JD Vance called Donald Trump America's Hitler.

We talk a little bit about why that's so uncomfortable for so many people. JB PRITZKER: Yeah. I do want to, you know, separate myself from the idea that I'm calling him Hitler— WALLACE: From JD Vance. PRITZKER: Well, I definitely want to separate myself from him and from, and from the idea that, you know, that I'm not suggesting, I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler. I wouldn't say that— WALLACE: I don’t think any Democrat has. I actually—and I think it’s a smear— PRITZKER: Yeah. WALLACE:  — that they project back onto critics. But I—JD Vance called Donald Trump— PRITZKER: Yes. WALLACE: — Cultural heroin. He called him America's Hitler.

Burglars not only stole from a restaurant in Arizona but also engaged in "bizarre" sexual relations on the premises, according to multiple reports.A spokesperson for the Scottsdale Police Department told Blaze News that officers responded to a burglary report at the Mon Chéri restaurant around 10:00 a.m. Saturday.'It's such a happy and positive place, so the fact that they did that on our establishment is just so disturbing.'"Employees from the business called the police to report that two subjects were seen on camera around 3:50 a.m. forcing entry into the restaurant," police said.Mon Chéri restaurant owner, Lexi Caliskan, told KSAZ-TV, "The first thing I noticed was that the whole stand was totally, like, torn apart. There were things all over.""They damaged my two doors. So two doors need to be repaired or replaced. The actual registers are, like, just torn apart," the owner added.Caliskan added to KSAZ that the suspects stole $450 in cash, the restaurant's iPhone, and a bottle of Bacardi rum. Photo by U. Ozel Images via iStock / Getty Images PlusHowever, before the couple broke into the restaurant, they reportedly had sex in a romantic floral display on the patio.Caliskan told People magazine that the sexual acts were committed in a "romantic spot.""We have a heart installation there, where our customers take Instagram photos," Caliskan explained, adding that the risqué incident was a "quick interaction" at the eye-catching rose display.Caitlyn Sorensen, a Mon Chéri employee, told KPHO-TV, "We pulled up the surveillance, and we were disturbed, and who would do that? That's just gross. We don't want that here. And yeah, just, like, 'Why would you do that?'"Sorenson continued, "It's such a happy and positive place, so the fact that they did that on our establishment is just so disturbing. Like, this isn't the place for it. Yes, we're full of romance and happiness, but that's not what we want here."RELATED: Woman, 34, entices Florida man, 73, to her home for romantic date only for him to be pummeled by her ex-boyfriend in planned robbery: Police Video of the couple near the floral display at the restaurant was posted on the Mon Chéri Instagram page.The security video was captioned, "Two love birds broke into our restaurant in Scottsdale this morning."The couple reportedly got frisky in a heart-shaped display made of roses.Caliskan told KNXV-TV, "They got caught in the moment, there's roses everywhere, maybe it was kind of romantic, but modern-day Bonnie and Clyde."Caliskan added, "I was just blown away by a man and a woman, what he had done, he ate afterward, then continued to break into the property."Bailee Turner, the assistant general manager at Mon Chéri, said of the alleged incident, "Bizarre, violating — really just weird."Caliskan told KPNX-TV, "They violated our roses, and we’re just not OK with that."The restaurant is asking the public to help identify the burglars.Police have yet to apprehend any suspects and said the investigation is still active.Like Blaze News?

Although elites like Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates have been pushing climate alarmism on the masses for decades, most people have never bought what they were selling. In fact, data shows that climate change has not been a defining issue for many people for a long time, one CNN analyst argued. CNN data analyst Harry Enten demonstrated that the American people's concern about climate change has remained surprisingly consistent for decades and has even possibly declined in more recent years. "What are we talking about? Greatly worried about climate. You go all the way back to 1989, it was 35%. 2000, 40%. 2020, 46%. And in 2025, look at that — it's 40%, the same number as we had 25 years ago back in 2000, and then only just five points higher than we had back in 1989. Really we've just seen consistency on this issue," Enten explained.'It will not lead to humanity's demise.'Enten showed that the number of Americans who see climate change as a top issue is and has been negligible for roughly the past four years. One 2025 poll indicated that just 17% of Democrats believe climate change will make staying in their home area "harder," Enten revealed.Noting Gates' recent tone shift on the issue, Enten said most people would "agree" with Gates' new assessment that climate change won't be the end of humanity. RELATED: Bill Gates quietly retires climate terror as AI takes the throne Photo by Patrick van Katwijk/Getty Images"The bottom line is that the climate change message that folks who, of course, believe that climate change is real and is quite worrisome, simply put, has not really worked with the American people,” Enten said.Just this week, Gates altered his approach to climate change, one of his trademark issues. "Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity's demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future," Gates wrote in his October 28 essay, "Three tough truths about climate." "The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been," Gates continued. While Gates did not completely dismiss his emphasis on climate change, this shift comes after at least 20 years of efforts to raise concern in the public consciousness about an existential threat. Gates famously warned that the climate was a bigger issue than COVID in the midst of the pandemic in 2020."Whether or not he's following the science or public opinion, there does seem to be a shift here," CNN anchor John Berman told Enten.

Glenn Beck started TheBlaze because he wanted to chart a new path in the media industry. Disturbed by the media’s agenda-driven distortion of facts and glossing over critical stories, he set out with a mission to build around truth-telling and America-first values.Today, he looks at Blaze Media and the blossoming alternative media industry and says: mission accomplished.“I wanted to create this ecosystem, and we did. Media now has really capable voices, minds, and hands to do things.”But now Glenn is bringing that same visionary spirit to a different industry — one that is suffering greatly from bias, indoctrination, and corruption: education. For 20 years, Glenn has been slowly and deliberately “collecting the physical evidence of America's soul — the documents, the letters, the artifacts that tell the true story of who we are.”Today, he boasts “the third largest private collection of founding documents in the world,” surpassed only by the public holdings of the Library of Congress and the National Archives.Glenn’s collection has amassed “well over a million documents and items of evidence of the greatness of the American experiment as well as our scars and our mistakes.”“This library is proof that America was founded on Judeo-Christian values. It is proof that our mission was not slavery but freedom for all mankind. It is proof that while we have committed terrible wrongs, we have also accomplished miraculous things. It is proof that our story began not in Jamestown but in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It is proof that when science divorces itself from moral truth, darkness follows and usually profound darkness,” he says.And this collection will soon be available to you.After three years of blood, sweat, and tears, Glenn’s historical archive has been compiled, preserved, and digitized into something “the world has never seen before.”“We have now created the first independent, proprietary, AI-driven American historical library,” says Glenn.Called the Torch, which will be overseen by the Glenn and Tania Beck Foundation for American History, the program is complete with a librarian named George, whose voice is “built from the writings of George Washington himself, the writings of the founders, the thousands of sermons that they heard from their church pulpits, the books that they read, and the principles they lived by.”George, Glenn says, “can find any artifact, any document, any speech, and deliver it to you as evidence that what you were taught in school was either misguided, out of ignorance, a half-truth, or most likely an out-and-out lie” — an expert in everything from the Constitution and Federalist Papers to American civics and history.And the best part is: He’s incapable of being influenced by other AI programs, the internet, or any other resource out there. “It is all contained in a secure, isolated server where every document is memorized verbatim. ... This is verified, factual, memorized first-source truth,” says Glenn.With the Torch igniting a flame of unfiltered truth in America's classrooms and homes, Glenn Beck isn't just preserving history — he's reigniting the soul of a nation, one artifact and one revelation at a time.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
