the north sea and there was there were new headlines in newspapers around the world some speculating murder that it wasn't an accident or suicide that he was murdered either by john rockefeller or kaiser wilhelm ii the emperor of germany for reasons that the book gets into you could not have a u-boat or submarine without diesel power so every navy was scrambling for diesel and this was 1913 in the middle of the anglo-german arms race everyone was needed diesel's help to build a navy program
Separately on the Rockefeller side, Diesel advocated flexibility with regard to fuel. You can run the diesel engine on recycled kitchen grease, as Willie Nelson did, or on vegetable or nut oil. And he was saying, I can break the American fuel monopoly, and I don't need a law to do it. I can do it with my technology. And so he was a threat to both. There were theories of murder.

The book is sort of a biography, but it also turns into this Agatha Christie murder mystery in the last quarter of the book that solves the case.

She's the longest. She and I are pretty aligned on this. I think, you know, particularly when it comes to attacks on you, I think you're pretty quick to shake that stuff off. I take a little longer, but I do view Steve Bannon a lot differently than I did nine years ago. And I think a lot of that came from an interview Trump did in this campaign season that you and I have talked about privately.

which I can't remember who the interviewer was, but I can paraphrase both sides of it. He was asked, why are you like this? Why do you behave like such a bastard half the time? And he answered, you don't understand. Nobody gets attacked the way I get attacked. Nobody faces as much incoming and oppositional bias that I face, and I have to fight it my way.

This is how I fight, and that's how I'm going to have to do it. And I see Bannon somewhat in that light now too. He's fighting these wars. I mean, look at the Stephanopoulos disgrace most recently. You know, he clearly knew the distinction between what was true and what was a lie. He, as the judge sees, deliberately chose the course of lying to gut Trump. And so he faces that stuff all the time.

But, you know, even seeing it in that light, you know, so I see Bannon more through a tactical lens than a personal lens. I saw it more personally back then. He did make a mistake back in 2015, 16. You know, when you had that debate question for Trump, the one that led to the Rosie O'Donnell flare up, that was a legitimate question. You know, you asked him on the woman issue.
