on october the 29th king victor emmanuel appointed mussolini prime minister. as the head of government mussolini chose a policy of cooperation with the catholic church and pursued his aim of transforming italy intuited challenged hereon stage. in germany militarist and nationalist factions united around general eerie shooting dogs who had been the de facto 2nd in command of german forces during the war. newton doff would later support at all hitler. hitler said. our people are miserable we must act now so that they do not join the communists. in january 923 french and belgian troops occupied the rule region because germany had fallen behind in its war reparations payments. those payments contributed to an economic crisis this included runaway inflation the german government kept printing more and more money. plus one point a loaf of bread cost $460000000000.00 marks. the 13 year old amanda described the situation. when a father brings home his daily pay we spend it right away because the money will soon be worthless. in the rule region tensions increased betwe

but at the same time, mussolini had big eyes for empire. and he was jealous of what hitler was doing and he was jealous of the british empire and jealous of the french empire and wanted equivalent status for himself and for the italian people. so when he goes into ethiopia thinking, well, the british and french have done nothing about german expansionism, why should they oppose what i'm doing? he uses airplanes, poison gas, against people with primitive weapons. it's on newsreels. it turns the stomach of people in britain and france. yes, you can say they were somewhat hypothetical. they were doing some of the same their colonies, right? but it turns their stomach and they start embargoing certain things. italy gets extremely upset. they leave the league of nations. and it pushes mussolini toward hitler. and the spanish civil war finalizes that. so in 1938, when hitler wants to move on austria, he now is fairly certain italy will allow it. in 1934, when there was an assassination of an austrian dictator by national socialists, mussolini mob

but i do see quite a few benito mussolini play or less in the democratic field.nd now it's about getting the trains to run on time in hawaii because they are talking about banning airplanes in ten years. the democrat is pushing a radical agenda. we are not going to turn far to the 2020. we will stick with the progress we've made. >> harris: i would imagine you get some pushback on any comparisons to mussolini, but i do understand the social is an aspect of it. so let's stay in the laying of the money, if you will. >> yeah, no, look at what they're proposing presocialized medicine, a complete takeover of health care, alienating private insurance, which over 180 million americans have. this so-called green new deal, there's nothing new about it. it's the old failed socialist policies of the 20th century. a complete takeover of what you drive, what you eat, how many kids you have. it's completely a radical agenda. when i look at the democratic field, and elizabeth warren is getting lauded for saying "i have a plan for that," those words are terrifying, actually, to

these things don't happen in isolation., and ve told people mussolini in italy and hitler in germany, these things -- i can see them coming. and so it was no surpristo me that we are where we are. if we fail to learn the lessons of our history, we're bound to repeat them. and it looks like we have not learned those lessons. and so we are now repeating it. that's whais strange to me. we're too intelligent for that. >> how do you advocate that members of the caucus talk abo the israeli-palestinian relationship? >> i think we ght to talk ctout it in the way that we talk about any other asf our religion. we are the products of a judeo-christian society, and then we ought live by it. ad we have to reconcile some of those things if going to function, going forward. and so, i know that even within my caucus, most of us are for ai two-state reso. and there are people in the caucus... >> who are not. >> ...are not necessarily for... >> they're not. >> .a two-state -- >> but that's new. >> that's new. >> that is new. why?>> ell, we all are the product of our experiences. that's why mbook, "bles

we rejected the ideology of mussolini and hitler - we instead embraced the bold and visionary leadership of franklin delano roosevelt, then the leader of the progressive wing of the democratic party. [applause] together with organized labor, leaders in the african american community and progressives inside and outside the party, roosevelt led a transformation of the american government and the american economy. like today, the quest for transformative change was opposed by big business, wall street, the political establishment, by the republican party and by the conservative wing of fdr's own democratic party. and he faced the same scare tactics then that we experience today - red baiting, xenophobia, racism, and anti-semitism. in a famous 1936 campaign speech , roosevelt stated, "we had to struggle with the old enemies of peace -- business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering." they had begun to consider the government of the united states as a mere appendage to their own affairs. we know now that government by organized

the new government in rome that it eplaced mussolini days earlier, was dispatching out of conflict. moscow, joseph stalin was pondering whether he could leave moscow to meet secretly ith roosevelt and secretary at ar henry stenso was flying back to washington determined to persuade fdr to insist that churchill accept the u.s. military's position on strategy to win in europe based on cross-channel assault into normandy and further insist that american serve as ally commander. roosevelt, the focus of the hopes of each was quietly leaving down to go fishing. now all of roosevelt's wartime trips out of the capital were secret. this one was unusually so. normally the white house would quietly inform trusted reporters, get your heads around that idea, very generally the president was leaving town and why and it's ok. the young bucks start to wonder, they could settle them down. this time no, they didn't do that. they left without telling anyone, so by monday, the world was realizing that roosevelt wasn't in the white house. the rumor started and hour-by-hour, got wilder and latter-day by

also, although i'm not happy about the success and result, do not believe that salvini is the new mussoliniow italians. we don't have fluff discipline to become a new fascist, believe me. we don't want to. and salvivi is a cheeky demagogue, but he's no budding dictator, trust me on that. and i think that being a big family like europe, he'll be brought under control. >> thank you all. fascinating conversation. we will continue to follow the events in europe with great interest. >>> next on "gps," tiananmen square, its name means the gate of heavenly piece. 30 years ago, it saw hellish violence being perpetrated by the government against its people. how much has china changed, how much has it stayed the same? nick kristof was there 30 years ago. he'll be with me when we come back. i'm really into this car, but how do i know if i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. you're hav

let's look back 100 years ago at the rise of national socialism, mussolini, and italy. we have seen a lot worse. we ought to learn from that ,xperience, american engagement we keep the russians out. that is the right prescription to move forward. mindful that it doesn't draft away from us. in withody was phoning a question. sorry about the phone, it wasn't my wife. i am in 1991 graduate and delighted to be back. my father was wounded on d-day. he was a combat glider pilot. his power ship got hit on the way in, so they cut him early. he carried second born artillery men, and a jeep. my father crashed into the hedgerow. 80% casualty rate. that is pretty amazing. he is buried in section 60, right smack in the middle of section 60 to arlington. i visited him today. looked pretty good. he has great company with a great generation. i spent 46 years in the intelligence business and i try to think ahead. tell me what nonnuclear warfare might look like in 2025 when we are faced with a regional problem precipitated by two major world powers. both the chinese and the russians. wha

photographs of impoverished children were replaced by images of the dictator mussolini greeting mothersy newborns. >> it was ironic that the dictator was using photography as a means of propaganda. at the same time he wasn't realizing that the photographs were actually documenting, you know, the real life. >> reporter: bianca is the curator of the new image in italy. it is a breathtaking sweep as fascism gives way to post-war devastation and the struggle to rebuild a modern italy. >> i can only imagine how hard and rough it was at that time, but you're right. the photographer at the same time captured the strength and the resilience of these workers. >> reporter: it is a journey that ultimately swings from the pain of life to la dolce vita as the country emerges into the spotlight of italian cinema, beautiful women and brash, young men on scooters and rome awash in exuberance, romance and the struggles of modern life, no longer hidden in the shadows. >> people really wanted to, you know, look forward and to, you know, get a new life. >> reporter: dan ashley, "abc 7 news". >> the exhibit

maybe if they stop calling him hitler and stalin and mussolini and white supremacist and anti-semi antiracistn't call them nasty. or a kook. or whatever.he doesn't call them the names that they call him on a daily basis. but we are going to miss him for a lot of reasons. number one, he fights. he fights.[applause] he is not a philosophical conservative. but in most ways he is a conservative. i don't much care how he got there. he just got there. and that's fine by me. [applause] i also know he is not them. i also know he loves this country, i also know he believes in our economic system. i also know he believes in sovereignty and border country. i also know how he treats allies like israel, i know this is a man à [applause] [cheering] he knows infanticide when he hears it and rejects it. [applause] he has put more Ãon the courts since ronald reagan. [applause] he's not them. and he's better than them. he is also not a rhino.

you wouldn't have done that for mussolini. all sorts of people are democratically elected leaders.seasoned enough to be able to trade through any of this? the queen as britain, she handles everything with extraordinary grace and discretion, she has no choice in the matter. so thatis she has no choice in the matter. so that is magnificent, but i wouldn't have put her through it. there are going to be demonstrations, but what is quite interesting here outside the palace is that there was quite a large crowd earlier for the changing of the guard, and the people who have actually dwindled. well, it is mostly tourists actually. one doesn't see enormous numbers of british citizens devoted to the special relationship gathered in front of the palace, you know. and ata time front of the palace, you know. and at a time when we are leaving the eu, you said that the president doesn't have the ability to strike a trade relationship, but he has been talking in favourable terms. he doesn't read the constitution, he doesn't read the constitution, he doesn't read the constitution, he doesn't read a
