UNFIT PRESIDENT WHO IS CAUSING
HARM TO SOCIETY.
>> Harris: WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY SARAH SANDERS JOINS ME
NOW ON "OUTNUMBERED OVERTIME"
HERE ONSET.
NANCY PELOSI RISKED WHAT WITH
HER PARTY, AND WHAT DO DEMOCRATS
RISK ACHIEVING IMPEACHMENT?
WHAT ARE THE STICKS?
>> Secretary Sanders: I THINK
SHE'S CLEARLY STARTING TO LOSE
CONTROL OF HER COUNTRY DOG
PARTY.
PRODUCING THAT A LOT OF THINGS
TAKING PLACE OVER THE LAST
COUPLE WEEKS GRADE I'M GLAD SHE
SEES WHAT THE REST OF US SEE,
THAT THERE IS NO REASON, NO
CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE AN
INCREDIBLE JOB IN HIS FIRST TWO
YEARS IN OFFICE.
THE COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN IT
HAS BEEN IN DECADES AND WE ARE
ACTUALLY MAKING PROGRESS ON A
NUMBER OF FRONTS.
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR OTHER
DEMOCRATS IN NANCY PELOSI'S
PARTY TO GET ON BOARD, START
DOING WHAT THEY WERE ELECT TO
DO.
DO THEIR JOBS AND QUIT TRYING TO
FOCUS SO MUCH ON MAKING EXCUSES
FOR THE HISTORICAL LOSS THAT
THEY SUFFERED IN 2016.
LET'S WORK WITH THE PRESIDENT
AND SOLVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
>> Harris: INSIDE THE
WHITE HOUSE, ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT WHAT THE ROAD COULD LOOK
LIKE IF DEMOCRATS PRESSED WITH
THIS?
IS THERE SOME TALK, SOME
STRATEGY THAT YOU ARE ALREADY
WORKING ON TOWARD IMPEACHMENT?
>> Secretary Sanders: WE ARE
FOCUSED ON DOING WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE
ABOUT.
WHETHER IT'S GROWING THE
ECONOMY, CREATING JOBS LIKE THE
MORE THAN 5 MILLION JOBS THE
PRESIDENT HAS CREATED SINCE
BEING ELECTED TO OFFICE,
DEFEATING ISIS, REBUILDING THE
MILITARY.
THESE ARE THINGS PEOPLE ARE
SITTING AROUND IN AMERICA THAT
THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT.
NOBODY WANTS TO SEE
PRESIDENT TRUMP IMPEACHED,
BECAUSE OF THE EVENT DEMOCRATS
IN CONGRESS WHO ARE FEELING AND
HAVE NO OTHER MESSAGE -- THAT'S
BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS DOING
BETTER AND THEY KNOW THAT IT'S
HARD FOR THEM TO RUN AGAINST IN
2020.
I THINK THEY'VE GOT A VERY, VERY
HARD UPHILL BATTLE OUT OF THEM.
>> Harris: IT'S INTERESTING,
SOME ARE SAYING THAT IT COULD BE
A SIGNAL THAT THE MUELLER
REPORT, THE INVESTIGATION, MIGHT
NOT HAVE IN IT WHAT DEMOCRATS
ARE HOPING IN TERMS OF STRONG
TEETH.
SO THEY ARE ALREADY LOOKING
AHEAD.
WE WILL REPORT THE NEWS AS IT
HAPPENS.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU BY THE
PRESIDENT'S NATIONAL EMERGENCY
THAT HAS A VOTE ON THURSDAY.
MORE THAN $8 BILLION FOR HIS
WALL.
WHAT IS THE STRATEGY BEHIND
GETTING BACK TO THE PORT OF
BATTLE, AT THIS POINT?
>> Secretary Sanders: IS THE
SAME THING IT'S BEEN ALL ALONG.
THAT IS TO SECURE THE BORDER.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A
CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.
FRANKLY, CONGRESS HAS GIVEN HIM
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY IN
ORDER TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY.
TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A CRISIS OF
THE BOARD AND PRAY DEMOCRATS
KNOW THAT WE HAVE A CRISIS AT
THE BORDER.
UNFORTUNATELY THE PRESIDENT IS
THE ONLY ONE STEPPING UP AND
SAYING, "LOOK, I'M NOT GOING TO
CONTINUE TO KICK THE CAN DOWN
THE ROAD.
I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE WE PUT
FORWARD THINGS THAT WORK."
AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE KNOW
THAT WORKS IS SECURING THE
BORDER, I DO HAVE TO HAVE A
WARPED DOLL MIKE IN ORDER TO DO
THAT.
>> Harris: I ASKED THIS
EARLIER ON.
WHY NOT DO THAT BEFORE SHUTTING
DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AND ANYTHING
ELSE THAT HAS GONE ON?
YOU GOT $1.4 BILLION.
FAR SHORTER THAN WITH THE
PRESIDENT HAD ASKED FOR.
EVEN RECENTLY.
WHY NOT TAKE THAT STEP AT THAT
POINT?
>> Secretary Sanders: THE
PRESENT WANTED TO ALLOW CONGRESS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO BUT THEY
ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
>> Harris: SAID THAT WHEN THEY
CAME UP WITH AGREEMENT, WHY
DIDN'T HE AGREE WITH IT?
>> Secretary Sanders: WE WANT
TO EXHAUST ALL OPTIONS.
GETTING PARTIAL THINGS THAT ARE
NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS PRESIDENT.
HE WANTS THE ENTIRE PACKAGE.
AT THE SAME TIME IT HELPS SET
THE TABLE FOR THE NATIONAL
EMERGENCY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND THE CRISIS WE WERE
UNDER.
I THINK DURING THAT TIME SOLVE A
CASE BUILD.
WE USED EVERY OPPORTUNITY,
EXHAUSTED EVERY RESOURCE IN
ORDER TO ALLOW CONGRESS TO DO
THEIR JOB.
WHEN THEY FAILED TIME AND TIME
AGAIN, THE PRESIDENT SAID, "WE
CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER, WE HAVE
TO STEP FORWARD."
>> Harris: THE REPUBLICANS
LAST DITCH EFFORT COME WITH HIM
ON THIS JOURNEY.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING A REPUBLICAN
SUPPORT?
>> Secretary Sanders: I THINK
OVERWHELMING AGE OF MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS, 100% SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT AND I CERTAINLY
SUPPORT BORDER SECURITY.
THE QUESTION FOR SOME OF THEM IS
PROCESS-RELATED.
WE ARE STILL HOPEFUL THAT AT THE
END OF THE DAY THEY DO THE RIGHT
THING.
THEY FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS MOST,
AND THAT IS PROTECTING PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
ALLOWING THE PRESIDENT TO DO
WHAT CONGRESS THEMSELVES HAVE
GIVEN HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DO.
CONGRESS ACTUALLY GAVE THE
PRESIDENT THE RIGHT TO DECLARE A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
THAT'S WHY EVERY PRESIDENT PRIOR
TO THIS ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO
THAT, AND IT'S ASTONISHING TO ME
THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS INTO
A BIG DEAL, WHEN --
>> Harris: SOME SAID IF YOU DO
IT ON THIS ISSUE IT GIVES ENTREE
FOR DEMOCRATS TO DO IT ON
CLIMATE CHANGE OR SOMETHING
ELSE.
>> Secretary Sanders: WITH BE
HONEST, THEY WILL DO THAT
RECOVERS UP WITH THIS PRESIDENT
DOES BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS GIVEN
THEM THE AUTHORITY.
IF THEY DON'T LIKE THAT, THEY
SHOULD CHANGE THAT LAW.
>> Harris: THE PRESIDENT WAS
TELLING BREITBART TODAY THAT HE
DOESN'T WANT IMMIGRANTS COMING
INTO THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE
DEPENDENT ON THE WELFARE
PROGRAMS.
YOU KNOW HE HAS LIT UP SOCIAL
MEDIA BY SAYING THAT, AND PEOPLE
AROUND --
>> Secretary Sanders: HE HAS
THAT ABILITY.
>> Harris: I KNOW HE DOES.
THIS IS THE TOPIC WHEN YOU COME
INTO THIS COUNTRY, WHAT IS THE
PRESIDENT TRYING TO SAY ABOUT
THESE PEOPLE?
IF THEY COME HERE AND IT'S LEGAL
AND THEY ARE IN THE SYSTEM, THEY
CAN USE THE RESOURCES THAT
AMERICANS USE?
>> Secretary Sanders: THE
POINT THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING --
LET'S FIRST AND FOREMOST START
WITH THE FACT THAT AMERICA IS
THE MOST GENEROUS AND HOSPITABLE
COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THE
PLANET.
WE HELP MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL
OVER THE GLOBE, WHETHER IT'S
BRINGING THEM INTO OUR COUNTRY
OR HELPING THEM IN THEIR HOME
COUNTRIES.
THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T WANT TO
STOP DOING THAT.
WHAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IS
BRING PEOPLE IN THAT WORLD
FOREVER -- IF YOU READ THE FULL
CONTEXT OF THE QUOTE, HE SAYS IT
WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON THE
GOVERNMENT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS
GOVERNMENT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEAR.
WE HAVE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
DEBT.
FRANKLY, THE SYSTEM WE HAVE
RIGHT NOW IS UNSUSTAINABLE.
WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
CARE FOR OUR VETERANS THE WAY
THAT WE SHOULD.
WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
CARE FOR AMERICANS THE WAY THAT
WE SHOULD.
>> Harris: BUT SARAH, YOU
SEE --
THEY HEAR THEM TALK LIKE THAT.
>> Secretary Sanders: THE
PRESIDENT HAS LONG TALKS ABOUT A
FIGHT THAT HE WANTS A
MERIT-BASED SYSTEM.
THAT HASN'T CHANGED.
>> Harris: IF THEY COME TO A
MERIT-BASED SYSTEM, USING THE F
BE RICH WHEN I GET HERE?
>> Secretary Sanders: NOT AT
ALL, HE WANTS PEOPLE TO BE
EMPOWERED.
HE WANTS PEOPLE NOT TO BE DEPEND
ON SYSTEM.
THAT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST
THINGS ABOUT AMERICA, THAT WE
DON'T WANT PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON
THE SYSTEM.
WE WANT --
>> Harris: I JUST WONDER HOW
YOU FORECAST SOME OF THAT.
>> Secretary Sanders: YOU WANT
THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
THAT'S GETTING LOST IN THE
DEBATE.
>> Harris: DEMOCRATS ARE
CONTINUING TO CRITICIZE THE
PRESIDENT'S 2020 BUDGET PROPOSAL
THIS WEEK, AS A NONSTARTER.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLING IT.
HERE'S HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE
CHAIR, JOHN YARBOROUGH.
>> IS EXTENDING THE TAX CUT OUT,
AS IT TRULY DOES TO THE DEFICIT,
AND SUCH AS MEDICAID, MEDICARE,
STUDENT LOANS, SNAP PROGRAMS,
JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT COME
AGAIN, THE VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS ON THIS COUNTRY
RELY ON.
AS WELL AS MIDDLE INCOME
AMERICANS.
SO IT'S VERY CRUEL HEARTED
BUDGET.
>> Harris: 'S OF THE PRESENT
IS LOOKING AT CUMMINGS AREAS.
WITH THE BOTTOM LINE WITH THIS
NEW BUDGET PROPOSAL WITH SOME
DEMOCRATS THINK IT'S A
NONSTARTER?
>> Secretary Sanders: THEY ARE
TRYING TO GET OUR FISCAL HOUSE
IN ORDER.
THE PRESENT HAS PUT FORWARD A
PROPOSAL THAT WOULD HELP US
BALANCE THE BUDGET INTERESTING
YEARS.
>> Harris: WHY DON'T THEY WANT
TO DO THAT?
ARE THEY TELLING YOU?
>> Secretary Sanders: THIS IS
PROGRESS.
FRANKLY, IT IS SAD THAT
DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT TO BALANCE
THE BUDGET.
THE IDEA THAT THEY THINK THEY
CAN SPEND THEMSELVES OUT OF THE
PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IS FRANKLY
JUST LAUGHABLE.
WE'VE GOT TO START LOOKING AT
WAYS TO REIN IN THE SPENDING,
INCREASE GROWTH, AND THAT IS THE
STUFF YOU WILL SEE REFLECTED IN
THE PRESIDENT'S --
>> Harris: I THOUGHT THOSE
WERE BIPARTISAN ISSUES.
>> Secretary Sanders: I DID
COME TOO.
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE NO
LONGER BIPARTISAN.
I THINK IT'S NOT THAT THEY DON'T
AGREE WITH THE POLICY, IS THAT
THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
>> Harris: THEY DON'T LIKE THE
MESSENGER.
>> Secretary Sanders: THEY
CARE MORE ABOUT BEATING UP THIS
PRESIDENT THAN THEY DO HELPING
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> Harris: REAL QUICKLY COME
OUT YOU AND I WERE WATCHING THE
NEWS IS WE SET THE SHOW UP.
BOEING IS A BIG DEAL.
WHERE IS THE PRESIDENT ON THE
FAA NOT GROUNDING BOEING JETS AT
THIS POINT?
737 MAX.
AS WE SEE MORE COUNTRIES,
INCLUDING THE U.K., JOIN IN.
WE WILL PUT THE PLANES OF A GRAM
TILL WE FIGURE OUT WHY THEY KEEP
CRASHING.
TWO OF THEM CRASHED.
>> Secretary Sanders:
CERTAINLY, THIS IS EARLY IN THE
PROCESS.
I THINK THE FIRST PLACE WE HAVE
TO START THIS BY OFFERING OUR
CONDOLENCES AND OUR SYMPATHIES
TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE
IMPACTED AND AFFECTED BY BOTH OF
THESE CRASHES.
AND WE HAVE TO REVIEW AND SEE
WHAT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE.
WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
THE INDUSTRY HAVE STARTED TO
VOICE CONCERNS ABOUT THE AMOUNT
OF TECHNOLOGY, TAKING THE POWER
OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE PILOT.
HE SAW THE PRESIDENT TALK ABOUT
THAT IN HIS TWEETS EARLY TODAY
TO READ THIS IS GOING TO BE A
PROCESS, WE ARE GOING TO BE IN
CONSTANT CONTACT THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION,
THE FAA, TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS
AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
>> Harris: AT MY DAD, A FORMER
WAR PILOT, HAS SAID -- YOU DON'T
WANT TO DISENGAGE, BY THE
PELLETS TO BE AS HANDS-ON AS
POSSIBLE.
TECHNOLOGY CAN BE HER FRIEND WAS
GOT TO MAKE IT SUCH.
YOU AND I DIDN'T CONNECT TO
BEGIN TO BECAUSE WE HAD SO MUCH
TO GET TO.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
I KNOW IT'S A JOURNEY HERE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, GOOD TO
SEE YOU.
