thank you so much for letting us into your homes during these extraordinary times. the beat with ari melber starts now. happy monday. thank you very much. i m ari melber and of all of the important items that begin this week, we have one our office is buzzing about that we are lighting up about, if you will, if you ll take the visual entendre. the man you see there rainn wilson from nbc s hit the office will join us live by the end of this hour and that is some office news. believe me, we think it s worth sticking around for that. the top story of the news, though, is a loss for a trump-era prosecutor who has been trying and failing to find any deep state conspiracy against donald trump after getting his special political assignment from trump attorney general bill barr. i m talking about a special counsel, you may remember, was tapped originally in that trump-barr doj before the biden administration and the project was to investigate the investigators to hash and re-li

They didnt March On Rome to seize power. Instead, they marched on rome in a Victory Parade because just the threat of them had made it so that he was handed power bloodlessly. That is how the fascists took power in italy 100 years ago next month. They threatened to take power by force, didnt have to, because they intimidated everybody into giving them power ahead of their march be on rome. Thats the famous March On Rome, october 1922. The centennial of that event next month. What happened in 1922, things in italy changed pretty quickly. Within three years, by 1925, italy was a oneparty state. Within three years after that, by 1928, mussolini abolished elections all together. It was a full on fascist dictatorship. Not to spoil the plot or anything, but as you may kn
