YOUR CAREER AS A BUSINESS MAN. ON TV. POLITICS. AS I WENT THROUGH THE BOOK IT IS AMAZING, SPORTS, ALL THESE PEOPLE WRITING YOU. THEY ALL LOVE YOU. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE, THIS IS REALLY A BOOK OF LETTERS BUT A FANTASTIC HISTORY. I THINK YOU CAN HELP US TALK ABOUT IT OPRAH WINFREY. SHE WROTES YOU 3 LETTERS IN THE BOOK. SHE ADORES, YOU SHE WRITES ONLY A KING KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A QUEEN. SHE WOULD VISIT YOU AT MAR-A-LAGO OFTEN. AND NOW SHE SAYS, THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? >> I HAVE NOT CHANGED. MY VIEWS HAVE NOT CHANGED VERY MUCH. I THINK I HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT. WE WANT SECURITY, A GREAT COUNTRY, STRONG MILITARY, BORDERS AND ELECTION AND GREAT EDUCATION AND HOUSING, I HAVE NOT CHANGED. I THINK THAT THING THAT CHANGE AND I RAN FOR OFFICE, SHE SAID IN ONE OF HER LETTERS, I THINK SOMEWHAT KIDDINGLY, WE SHOULD RUN TOGETHER, WHAT A TEAM. I PUT THAT LETTER IN THE BOOK. I GET ALONG GREAT WITH HER. SHE WAS HERE MANY TIMES, LIKE ROGER KING, KING WORLD. SHE ASKED WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD HAVE HIS FUNERAL HERE THAT IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN HER LIFE. HE WAS A FANTASTIC MAN. HE WAS A REAL CHARACTER, ALSO A FRIEND OF MINE, WE HAD HIS FUNERAL HERE, HELD BY OPRAH. AND YOU KNOW WE DON'T DO FUNERALS BUT WE DID ONE THEN. IT WAS AMAZING. I HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH OPERA, BUT ONCE I WENT INTO POLITICS, I DON'T MEAN I SAID SOMETHING OFFENSIVE, ONCE I WENT IN IT WAS -- IT CHANGED. THAT WAS OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT. IF THEY LIKE ME, THEN THEY DON'T LIKE ME THAT DOES NOT BOTHER ME. BUT IT IS INCREDIBLE. LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE LETTERS AND NOW. IN SOME CASES PEOPLE LIKE ME BETTER. PUBLIC PROBABLY LIKES ME BETTER, BECAUSE WE HAVE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT. WE'RE IN TEXAS. AND WE HAD AN UNBELIEVABLE CROWD, RECORD SETTING. LIKE NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. WE HAVE TO DO WELL. BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GET THIS BACK, IF WE DON'T TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK WE'RE NOT I DO -- GO DOING HAVE A COUNTRY, LITERALLY IT IS A MESS, EVERYTHING IN THE NEWS, UKRAINE AND RUSSIA SHOULD NEVER HAPPENED AND INFLATION SHOULD NEVER HAPPENED. EVERY SINGLE THING. THE WAY WE PULLED OUT OF AFGHANISTAN. WITH THE 85 BILLION WORTH OF EQUIPMENT, WE GAVE IT TO THEM, BRAND-NEW, TRUCKS, PLANES, AND GUNS AND RIFLES. 700 THOUSAND. THEY NEED 40 THOUSAND. THEY ARE SELLING THE RIFT, MAKING A FORTUNATE, WE LEFT IT, I WAS GETTING OUT, I GOT THEM DOWN, ENOUGH 21 YEARS, ENOUGH. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE KILLED IN LAST 18 MONTHS, I SPOKE WITH ABDUL THE LEADER, NO ONE WAS KILLED. WE WERE GETTING OUT WITH DIGNITY AND STRENGTH, BUT IT WAS MOST EMBARRASSING PERIOD THE WAY WE WITHDREW FROM AFGHANISTAN. PUTIN SAW THAT AND PROBABLY GOT MORE AMBITION. MARK: LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THAT. YOU HAVE REALLY FASCINATING LETTERS IN HERE. FROM PUTIN. FROM XI . FROM YUN IN NORTH KOREA, YOU HAD A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE LEADERS WHEN THEY ARE GENOCIDAL MANIACS OR ELECTED. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR FOREIGN POLICY IT, PEOPLE PROJECT ON THAT, WHAT IT IS THEY THINK THEY WANT PEOPLE TO THINK YOU YOUR FOREIGN POLICY IS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? >> I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, I WAS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, YOU KNOW, SORT OF A WEIRD SITUATION, TOUGHER THEY WERE THE BETTER I GOT ALONG WITH THEM, THAT IS GOOD, THE TOUGH ONES HAD THE POWERFUL COUNTRIES THAT CAN DO DESTRUCTION. YOU HEAR WHAT IS GOING ON NOW, EVERY DAY, YOU HEAR NUCLEAR, THAT IS A BAD WORD. THIS IS NOT A WORLD WAR THAT IS THE END OF THE WORLD. HAVE WE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT OR DOING. I LOOK AT NOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH RUSSIA, AND UNITED STATES AND THEY JUST GRABBED A REPORT IR, THAT -- UNHEARD OF, THEY ARE NOW HOLDING A REPORTER. WHAT IS GOING ON. WE'RE AT IN MY OPINION BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF WEAPONRY, MOSTLY NUCLEAR, BUT OTHER THINGS ALSO, WE ARE IN THE MOST DANGEROUS POSITION WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN AS A NATION. RIGHT NOW, AND WE HAVE A LEADER THAT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW, WE ALL WANT TO BE NICE ABOUT IT BUT, THE WORLD IS AT BALANCE THIS COUNTRY, MIGHT NOT EXIST. WE MAY NOT EXIST ANY MORE. BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POWER OF WEAPONS THAT IS SO UNBELIEVE AN, I KNOW BETTER, I SAW IT. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. THEY TALK TOUGH WHEN THEY SHOULD BE NICE AND TALKS NICE WHEN THEY SHOULD BE TOUGH. IT IS OPPOSITE. IT IS JUST WRONG. IT IS A VERY SCARY TIME. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE OF THE LEADERSHIP, I GET GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WALL OF THEM, PRESIDENT XI WAS VERY CLOSE TO ME, HE WERE HERE IN THIS ROOM WE HAD TREMENDOUS WALKS. I MADE AN INCREDIBLE TRADE DEAL, THEN COVID CAME ALONG. GAVE OUR FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS 50 BILLION DOLLARS. I GOT 28 BILLION FOR OUR FARMERS, I'M NOT LOSING NEBRASKA OR IOWA. BECAUSE THEY GOT -- NOBODY THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLE. 28 BILLION I GOT BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND HURT BY CHINA, I GOT IT BACK IN FORM OF TAXES, TARIFFS AND OTHER THINGS WITH BILLIONS LEFT OVER, NO ONE PRESIDENT GOT 10 CENTS, I GOT ALONG WITH PRESIDENT XI BUT I WAS STOPPING RAMPAGE IT WAS THE RAPE OF AMERICA. WHAT CHINA WAS DOING TO US. PEOPLE HAD NO CLUE, NOT 10 CENTS DID WE GET FROM CHINA, I GOT HUNDREDS BILLIONS, I GAVE 28 BILLION TO THE FARMERS. MANY OTHER THINGS. JUST USMCA THAT IS MEXICO AND CANADA AND GOT RID OF NAFTA, ONE OF THE WORST TRADE DEALS MADE, NOW CANADA AND MEXICO WANT TO RENEGOTIATE THE DEAL, WE IS SHOULD NOT. HAVE WE A VERY GOOD DEAL, I CALL IT A FAIR DEAL. THEY WANT TO RENEGOTIATE. MANYING THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. BUT I WOULD SAY IT WAS PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, THEY VIEWED US AS STRONG COUNTRY. NO CHANCE THAT PUTIN WOULD HAVE GONE TO UKRAINE, HE WOULD NOT GO IN, THEY DON'T RESPECT OUR COUNTRY ANY MORE, OR OUR LEADERSHIP, I HAD IRAN IN A POSITION THEY WOULD HAVE MADE A DEAL WITHIN ONE WEEK AFTER THE ELECTION. BUT THEY ARE RICH AND I TOLD CHINA, IF YOU BUY OIL FROM IRAN, THEY WILL BUY MASSIVE, YOU WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH UNITED STATES, THEY WERE RIPPING US OFF, WE HAD A TRADE DEFICIT WITH CHINA. YOU BUY ANY OIL FROM IRAN, I SAID THAT TO OTHER COUNTRY, IRAN WAS COMING TO TABLE, AND WHAT DID I GETTING US OUT OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT I DID FOR ISRAEL. BETWEEN GOLAN HEIGHTS AND EMBASSY AND JERUSALEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NEW ADMINISTRATION BLEW IT ALLOWING IRAN TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON WEAKER PEOPLE WEB. WEAPON, WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT DOING THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME IN OUR COUNTRY, EVEN IF YOU SAID A YEAR AND A HALF THAT SAY LANGUAGE -- LONG TIME, MOST DANGEROUS THINGS ARE HAPPENING, PUTIN IS MOVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO BELARUS. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THAT. IF YOU REMEMBER, I'M THE ONE THAT GAVE THE JAVELINS TO UKRAINE, I GAVE ALL OF THE JAVELINS THAT IS THE ANTI-TANK MISSILES. OBAMA GAVE THEM SHEETS. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE HEAD OF THE TALIBAN, ABDUL, I SAID YOU ARE KILLING A LOT OF PEOPLE, UNDER OWN THEY WERE PUTTING SNIPERS ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND KILLING A LOT OF PEOPLE. IT WAS BAD. I SAID GET THIS GUY, I WANT TO SPEAK WITH HIM, I TOOK A LOT OF HEAT, I TO JESSE JAMES WHY DO YOU ROB BANKS, HE SAID THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY S WHY DO YOU SPEAK TO ABDUL, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE KILLING PEOPLE, I SAID, IF YOU KILL ANY MORE, YOU WILL BE HIT HARDER THAN ANYONE HAS BEEN HIT, HE SAID TO ME, BUT WHY, BUT WHY DO YOU SEND ME A PICTURE OF MY HOME, I SAID FIGURE IT OUT, YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT. OR, ASK ONE OF YOUR WIVES FROM, THAT POINT. WE DIDN'T HAVE ONE SOLDIER EVEN SHOT AT, NOT ONE SOLDIER KILLED. THEN I WAS DONE. THEY DID -- THE WITHDRAW. MILLEY SHOULD BE COURT MARSHALS. WITHDRAWAL WHERE THE PEOPLE THINK OF THIS, THIS IS WHERE THE SOLDIERS CAME OUT FIRST, IF YOU ASKED A 5-YEAR-OLD CHILD, A STRATEGY, SOLDIERS COME OUT LAST, THEY WERE SO AFRAID OF OUR F-16S AND OUR FIGHTER JETS, WE HAD BRAND-NEW -- I REBUILT THE WHOLE THING. WE HAD STUFF THIS WAS 48 YEARS OLD, THEY WOULD RUN BACK WHAT THEY HEARD THE ENGINES, BUT NOW THEY OWN THEM, THEY OWN THEM. I SAID TO THE PEOPLE, WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OUT, I SAID, I WANT EVERY NAIL, I THINK EVERY SCREURK SCREW AND BOLT AND CANVASS FROM THE TENTS. THE BIG MASSIVE TENTS. I WANT ALL THAT, I WANT THE TANKS, I WANT PLANES AND GUNS, MILLEY SAID TO ME, IT'S EASIER IF WE LEAVE EVERYTHING, I SAY WHY, HE SAID ITS CHEAPER, LET ME ASK YOU, WE HAVE THE AIRPLANE FULL IT UP WITH GAS, YOU SAY CHEAPER TO LEAVE THAN FLY IT TO PAKISTAN OR SOME OTHER PLACE? OR FLY DIRECTLY. WE WILL GIVE THEM 150 MILLION PLANE? BECAUSE YOU THINK IT IS CHEAPER IT'S NOT CHEAP CHEAPER. THESE ARE STUPID PEOPLE, THEY TAKE MILITARY OUT BEFORE THE HOSTAGES OUT, BECAUSE THE HOSTAGES AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOW, ARE HOSTAGES. >> BOOK IS LETTERS TO PRESIDEN
