then with the rise of hitler -- not mussolini originally who was a reader and enthusiast of nietzsche, the rise of hitler in particular was the more, i think sort of the more terrifying development. so over the course of the 1930s as we see the specter of naziism and then later as americans started to see mussolini as a greater threat than they initially had, it was not hard to find traces behind nazi philosophy and mussolini's fascism. and solo and behold, nietzsche, yet again, is seen as the author and visionary of what would become world war ii. of course, nietzsche wrote of things that were not so hard to turn into -- or to make him implicated. he wrote of the rise of the blond beast, which people thought, took to be his celebration of the aryan race. his sister actually was a proto-nazi, and in her closing years she welcomed hitler to the nietzsche archive, so there's a linkage to hitler and some very unfortunate pictures of hitler and elizabeth forester with a nietzsche bust at the nietzsche archive. so nietzsche really gets linked to world war ii in the american imagination and

this is where he does have something in common with mussolini.hen mussolini started out, he was making it up as he goes along. trump is starring in his own reality television show. >> i think that sells trump very short. i think he's proposing ideas that he thinks people will support period. >> i just compared him to benito mussolini. how can i be selling him short? >> i think he's discussing things that people have on their mind but they're afraid to say. >> this is back where i started out. the problem for trump for the party is he's both saying outrageous, deplorable, vaguely fascistic things and putting his finger on real anxieties and concerns and his republican rivals haven't figured out a way to deal with that combination. >> you're taking donald trump at his word that he's wants to ban all muslims from entering the united states and you think there's a precedence here, jeffrey? >> first of all, he's talking about a temporary situation. i mean, i said that this is a human version of what was done on the original 9/11 itself in terms of the

period. >> i just compared him to beneato mussolini and how could i sell him short? >> well, it is things that are on people's minds and they are afraid to say. >> yes, that is back where i started out, this is the problem with trump for the party is that he is both saying outrageous, e deplorable, and fashistic thing, and putting his finger on the real anxieties and concerns and the republican rivals have not figured out how the play with the combination. >> e jeffrey, you are taking donald trump at his word that he wants to ban all muslims from n entering the united states, and you believe there is a precedent here, jeffrey? >> john, he is talking about first of all, a temporary situation. i have said that this is a human version of what was done on the original 9/11 itself in terms of the planes. if you will recall the faa grounded every single plane flying over america until they could figure out what is going onment and he is trying to say here, we have stateless threat. how do we deal with a stateless threat, and let's talk about it, and get into the issue, and

over the course of the '30's and later as they started to see mussolini as the greater threat it was not a hard to find traces of the nazis philosophy and the bashes some. so yet again he is the author and visionary of world war ii. he wrote to of the rise of the beast that people took to be a celebration his sister was a nazi so there is sailing ship -- a linkage so with the american imagination he really is linked to world war ii and the entire not see ideology but here we have the germans who wanted the uber race we know the son of human people the wrong approach during world war ii and nietzsche was just implicated in all of this. >> what is his reputation today? is there such a thing? >> george isn't a thinker of much today although we should as a poet and novelist with that hypertrophied self that hyper and aggrandize so that what he called the german minder the german temperament then to become the great exemplar is a mind that could not deal with the elements so he is pretty decisive that is from a robust demand careful thinker that there are plenty of others in interesting c

so in the lead up to world war ii oswald moseley was a great admirer and close friend of benito mussolini, the leader in italy and general franco in spain. he and his were frequent visitors to nazi era germany. they were personal friends of hitler. he and his wife were actually married in germany in 1936 at the home of joseph goebbels. they got married at his home. the nazi propaganda minister. hitler was one of their wedding guests and sir oswald moseley saw it as his job to not just keep britain from going to war with his beloved germany he saw it as his job to organize a complementary fascist movement inside the uk. he formed this organization as the british union of fascists in '32. they changed their name to the union of fascists and national socialists. national socialists as it nazis. and believe it or not, it was a fairly popular movement. they had tens of thousands of members in the 1930s. oswald moseley modeled himself in his own leadership style and most of his policy proposals specifically on mussolini. there tended to be violence at moseley events and rallies, a lot of which

you have likened trump to mussolini. wow. explain that. >> well he's got a lot more hair.t he and mussolini have this sort of arrogant approach in which they say very little in terms of substance. but the manner in which they say it get the crowds excited. >> that's all? that's the only comparison you're making? >> well i could make more comparisons but i don't want it offend your audience any more than i already have. >> you can. i offend people everyday and that's why i'm successful. that's why trump is successful. he is weak on poll say but that's he wants to win. oing is tapping into the emotion. >> i heard your theory when you were talking it karl rove and i think you're right. his campaign is doing brilliantly but i think at some point or another i think the public has the right to tell us specifically what are you going to do. just saying i'm the biggest, strongest, best negotiator. if he is let's see him negotiate with the rest of the muslim world or bring them on top or rather bring them into the fight against isis. that would be a successful use of his negotiatin
