00:00:26.480I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:32.380Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:36.120If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:42.460War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:50.700My fellow Americans, this is your all-time favorite president, Donald J. Trump.
00:00:55.820Over the last 40 years, I've corresponded with some of the most incredible people, from presidents to kings and queens, and from Hollywood stars to business titans.

00:02:05.640trump really prior to being president that's the power of this there's no book like it i mean this
00:02:10.960book is just absolutely incredible um we spent many weeks going through his archives and some
00:02:17.340of the letters go back 40 50 years anyone you can imagine in history um who's been anyone is in this
00:02:23.380book from nixon to reagan from oprah to bill clinton every sports figure out there so um no
00:02:30.040it's cultural it's sports it's entertainment it's uh religious figures it's it's really incredible
00:02:35.940And what I love about it is the quality of the book.
00:05:20.380No, I think with the powers of the book, you see graciousness, class, the respect people have for him, the respect he has for people.
00:05:30.280We're going to get into some of the stories hopefully a little bit later about things he's done for people that have never made headlines.
00:05:35.960The book is a very – because when we talk about the great and the good of the late 20th century and early 21st century, you're even seeing a different side of them.
00:07:25.900And what he envisioned for Europe was a Europe without a Russian pipeline.
00:07:33.500He recognized that this Russian pipeline was a pipeline of influence
00:07:38.180and an influence over Western allies in Europe.
00:07:42.740At the same time, we had the largest economy in all of Europe, the German economy, literally not paying their NATO bills.
00:07:52.300So when President Trump looked at Chancellor Merkel, and by the way, he was incredibly nice, but he was incredibly direct.
00:07:59.000And when he said to Chancellor Merkel, you're feeding the beast.
00:08:02.600You're a member of this club that's supposed to be NATO stopping Russia, but you're giving Russia more money.
00:08:09.640And so he stood up for the American people by doing that.
00:08:13.240And what I always say is the opposite of America first is consensus with the Europeans.
00:08:21.220And when Merkel came to Joe Biden and said, you know, Donald Trump had these sanctions on the Russian pipeline into Germany and we would like you to drop these sanctions.
00:08:31.240Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats did that.
00:08:33.800And I tell everybody, listen to the floor speeches from Senate Democrats talking about why they should drop sanctions on the Russian pipeline.
00:08:47.440The weakness that they presented to Vladimir Putin, I could see Putin say, you know, let me go back in and finish the job that I started under Obama-Biden.
00:08:58.980Now that Biden is there, I'm going to go back into Crimea.
00:09:02.800And Chancellor Merkel, you know, she didn't say much about the grabbing of Crimea, the rewriting of borders within Europe, which is their mantra now.
00:09:13.260So working for a visionary like Donald Trump was it was an incredible honor.
00:09:17.460It's not always popular in the moment.
00:09:20.200And that's the one thing that I love about President Trump.
00:10:24.480Rick, Ambassador, tell me, when you found out that you had been selected in the curation process,
00:10:30.760that this very personal letter that you sent the president was going to be in there,
00:10:34.560tell me what were your first thoughts and feelings?
00:10:38.380I mean, look, I'm just a kid from Michigan, and when Sergio told me that my letter was selected,
00:10:44.360it was incredibly humbling, and I thought, why me?
00:10:47.380You know, first of all, this president, President Trump, has given me so much to stand at the president of Germany's office in this glorious, beautiful palace and to take the oath of office as the representative of the United States to walk out and hear the national anthem playing as you're standing in Berlin, which has got all of this history with America.
00:11:13.260I am so grateful that President Trump believed in me. I worked every single day for him. I will always work for him because when he believed in me, somebody who was just a simple American, it motivated me to say, you know what, I'm not going to let him down. I'm not going to let the American people down. And I'm not going to look to be popular. I'm going to look to keep the American people safe.
00:11:37.140So to be selected like this in a letter with all of these others, it's just a humbling experience, and I'm incredibly grateful.
00:11:48.560If you think about it, people today who go to universities or to school, they read books from presidents 50 years ago, right, 100 years ago.
00:11:55.060This is an incredible book because his commentary on everybody is in there.
00:11:59.440And so we're thrilled that Ambassador Grinnell is in there.
00:12:02.280Couldn't have asked for a better letter.
