Secretary Sarah Sanders DESTROYS Nancy Pelosi On LIVE AIR
exclusively White House press secretary Sarah Sanders it is good to see you good
to see you you're always welcome thank you for taking the invitation so you and
I have seen a lot of states of the union although I am much older than you well
it just happens to leave that on the table facts first
that room last night was grossly divided I've never seen Nancy Pelosi's face like
that the president made some outreach to them but he was focusing mostly on the
Democrat on the Republican side how can he unify that room I think doing
exactly what he did last night and I'm gonna be a little bit in disagreement
with you I think Nancy Pelosi looks like that all the time I think she should
smile a lot more often I think the country would be better for it she seems
to kind of embody the bitterness that belongs in the Democrat Party right now
I think last night was a good step forward hopefully they can let go of
some of that and they have to make a big decision they need to decide Chris do
they love America more than they hate this president and are they willing to
put some of those differences aside come together and do what's right for this
country fundamental disagreement ISM where's the hate because Nancy Pelosi
would argue has argued on this set that it is righteous indignation that you see
coming from her that the way last night the president identified the people who
killed the children of those African American couples that were there last
night as illegal entrants as minors they took it as code for dreamers that you're
trying to villainize this group of people there was no code the president
could not have been more clear he has laid out exactly what he wants to see in
an immigration reform plan all of the things he has laid out are things that
Democrats have supported Bill Clinton got a standing ovation for using similar
language in one of his State of the Union addresses by both Democrats and
Republicans Democrats have voted to end the visa lottery system they support a
pathway to citizenship these are things that the president has given and laid
out a good and solid compromise that frankly everybody should be excited
about Democrats and Republicans should both be celebrating as the president
said every didn't get everything they wanted but
the country is getting what they need and it's time for both Republicans and
Democrats to come together and put some of that common-sense solution forward
message vs. messenger Clinton some of the languages change you know you have
problems you know you have to make the process better in terms of who gets into
this country and also whom you decide to throw out but the motivating ethos from
Clinton the idea was we are our diversity the feeling is with this
president he sees diversity as a - not one story last night and by the way the
president did a good job articulating people's stories last night and it's
very powerful for the audience and for the media but not one about a successful
dreamer not one although he did say all Americans are dreamers which again is
not only not true but I didn't understand the point of doing that look
the president has committed to solving this problem he is said he wants to find
a solution and he's laid one out Democrats don't have a message they
simply are sitting on their hands and being angry instead of coming to the
table to have real negotiations they believe it's a policy of exclusion
because he is how a policy of exclusion Chris when the president Frank they went
further than Barack Obama ever did as president he he has tripled the number
of people that he is including reports program that is the opposite of
exclusion that is broadening the spectrum and taking it much step further
the idea that Democrats are saying that this president is not being inclusive
and is not trying to put an actual solution on the table is frankly
laughable and they should be embarrassed that they are trying to peddle that kind
of just false premise because it's just frankly not true well the premise is
this with one hand he gives pathway to citizenship couldn't be hard to sell and
part of your party by the way with the other hand he's taking away and that
there are obviously at least two of these pillars if not three are designed
to limit who comes into this country and what types of people come into this
country which is what the Democrats are trying to protect against so the
practical problem becomes you have two the first one is this you have two
pillars too many do you think you can get any deal that goes beyond dealing
with daca and security it seems like the Democrats will give you security
vernacular about the wall will be an issue but the other two may be a bridge
too far but you can't just do partial security it has
to be the whole thing otherwise we're dealing with this same situation in two
three four or five years the president doesn't want to kick the can down the
road anymore he wants to be able to sit down with Democrats sit down with
Republicans and say look we have a problem with the daca system let's fix
it we have one point eight million people let's give them a pathway but at
the same time let's make sure we don't find ourselves back here again that's
why you can't just have one or two pillars you have to have all for the
same reason a stool doesn't work with two legs too much of that it's not
exclusion though it's the safety and security of the American people but
where's that seen in the in the facts though Sarah you know when it comes to
the lottery the the selling point is we don't know what these people are where
they come on you know that's not true they get vetted they get vetted several
times what you call chain migration which the Democrats call family
unification Mike rats have voted have voted to end in the past but no no what
they've done is to vote for limitations and nobody's saying that you don't want
to improve these processes so you know who's coming in but the idea of what the
president said last night somebody can literally bring in as many people as
they want it's just not true it's not true in the facts it's not true reality
multiple instances where they are bringing in dozens of people look we're
not saying they can't bring in anybody we're just limiting the number to be the
the nuclear making the exception the rule when you do that you're making the
exception the rule about who gets in here who commits crimes who are
malefactors and making the exceptions the rule you're painting all of these
people with the same brush that's not true at all that's actually what
Democrats are doing is trying to paint the president saying this look the
president wants to have people I've heard him say it hundreds of times
he wants people from all over the world from all different places to company
wants to make sure that they want to come here for the right reasons that
they want to come here to be part of our society to contribute to work to help
raise a family and to make sure that they're not coming here to do harm to
American citizens I think that's a positive I think everybody in America
thinks that's a positive and I think that's the reason that seventy-five
percent of the country last night said they liked Donald Trump's speech there
was a poll last night there was plenty of stuff in there to like it we had
forty eight percent were highly favorable look it's one thing to say it
it's then what are you doing what do you tweet thereafter you know
we don't have to go back into the language he used but he wants people to
come into the country but not from those certain s whole countries he wants him
rich and white because he wants him and that's not America I wouldn't be here of
what this president has laid out by very definition a merit-based system is
colorblind it is absolutely outrageous to claim
that it is anything different but he said exactly that's begging for some of
these things in the past and now they claim that they're racist that is just
what he said it Sarah he said that he wanted a merit-based system absolutely
he said I guess I missed you being in the room to here are you saying that he
didn't see context I'm saying that you're you're trying to create a
narrative that doesn't exist you're trying to take words of the president
and make them mean something that they don't this is a text of all the other
things he said about immigrants that is so ugly and so destructive i I just I'm
gonna have to disagree with your premise this is a president who loves this
country this is a president who wants to see the very best things of this country
and I think you saw him highlight his heart his soul and the optimistic vision
that he has for our country last night and I think you see that every day and
the policies that he's been pushing over the last year and everything that he has
laid out that he wants his administration to accomplish over the
next seven years when you have the other side saying on those exact same criteria
they don't trust that he wants to do the right thing by these people but we'll
see what happens at the table now the second obstacle you have to make in a
deal you're in that five day period now with this memo if that memo is released
it will dominate the discussion for good and bad reason it will dominate
deal-making you said in a statement from the White
House he hasn't reviewed it yet we're nowhere on releasing it then let's put
up the statement just so people can see there you are
oh good enough picture right I know everybody always starts with the picture
contrary to a published report there are no current plans to release the house
Intel committees memo continued on the president hasn't seen or been briefed on
the memo or reviewed its contents okay fair enough but then last night we had
this piece of sound so then explain it to us
100% he's gonna release the memo is that the new position from the White House
look we've said all along from day one that we want full transparency in this
process we haven't hid net but at the same time we're still going to complete
the legal and national security review that has to take place before putting
something out publicly and that's the place where we are right now is there
any chance that the president does not release them I think there's always a
chance but again I I don't know I haven't seen the memo I can't make that
judgment but I do know that we're going through that process I know that'll be
part of what's taking place at the White House today and we'll certainly keep you
guys posted as I know you'll continue to ask and until you hear the and final
answer on that has the president seen the memo yet not that I'm aware of I
know he hadn't as of last night prior to and immediately after the State of the
Union all right so obviously before he goes promising 100% he should read this
because he may be getting set up by the memo if it doesn't deliver what's
promised by people on the right did Devin Nunez work with anybody in the
White House on that memo not that I know of and he wouldn't answer that question
right and I just don't know the answer I don't know of anyone that he did and I
haven't had a chance he has worked with the White House before when it comes to
intelligence and the Russian investigation look we have certainly
coordinated with members of Congress as is appropriate as to specifics on this I
just don't know the answer I'd not aware of any conversations or coordination
with congressman Nunez on Rosen Stein Trump's choice says he doesn't like this
he goes to the chief of staff to say it Stephen Boyd Trump's choice at the DOJ
says this could be reckless dangerous the intelligence community says let us
review this you have the house saying we don't trust the GOP that the Republican
part of that committee you have the president when asked if he trusts the
FBI say we'll have to see why do this to the intelligence community
why call into question their legitimacy with the American people look I don't
think we are calling into question would anything
look we've said many many times before the president has full confidence in
director ray and his ability to lead the FBI I don't think there's any secret
that there is some frustration and certainly great cause for concern by
some of the actions of some of the previous leadership at the FBI but the
president put directory there for a reason he has great confidence in the
rank-and-file members of the FBI which we've said repeatedly but but there are
a number of things that have given reason for not just the president but
the American people to have cause for concern out of the actions out of that
department so why not let the system work why do this that's exactly what
we're doing no no this is this is a naked end run Sarah you know that this
is a naked and run by the House Republicans they're saying usually that
is the process oh no for an Intel we've never seen the release of information
obsession over a total hoax like like we have seen over the localhost I would say
the Russia collusion and Russian fever that you guys have perpetuated every
single day Russian interference the American people certainly have never
said they don't want to hear what you guys are talking about you're not
talking about whether or not Russians involved you're talking about whether or
not the president was involved those are that is part a different that's part of
the special council's purview a man who you guys interviewed for a job at the
White House a lifelong Republican and a decorated veteran who everybody
applauded I'm Bob Marley cooperating with them we've turned over thousands
and thousands of documents more than 20 people have done interview reports that
the president thought of making a move on him this summer I we have continued
to be fully cooperative with him the president has been fully cooperative
with him he's publicly been very positive and saying oh I don't have any
problems here let's see what happens let's get this done he said I'm looking
forward to sitting down with him now there's reporting that your lawyers are
looking for an exception to get him out of an interview which is it it's those
two things are not mutually exclusive Chris because the president has nothing
to hide he's more than happy to be why look for a reason to get this
time his attorneys are going to go through the proper process you guys want
to paint these just crazy like ludicrous things and create stories that just
crazy ludicrous he says he wants to meet with Muller now you've got his lawyers
looking for an exception that probably doesn't apply to again if you want to
talk about wasting tax money it's talk about the entire investigation as a
whole with this president in collusion that is a waste of taxpayer money we
don't know what we have spent a year digging and digging and digging and
everybody comes to the same conclusion even the devil has come to know evidence
of the Senate Intelligence Committee has come to no conclusion Intelligence
Committee including Dianne Feinstein have said they've seen no evidence of
Cooley investigation isn't over why wouldn't you want to see it through we
did raises question why do you keep saying shut it and call it a fever why
do you allow Nunez to do this and run that we've never seen before and
subverting the intelligence community to release things that could be
jeopardizing to national security look no one here is going to make a decision
that jeopardizes national security that's been the president's number-one
priority Rosenstein doesn't want them to think
Lee qualified to answer that you haven't seen the memo you're not an intelligence
emo why is he promising algebra city's going to take the advice of those that
have and those that are actually have the knowledge and the experience to make
that decision I don't and neither do you so we shouldn't sit here and try to
pretend like we do the president has individuals on his legal team his
national security team that are doing that review we'll make that
recommendation he'll make that final decision at that point the the point I'm
trying to make is we have spent the better part of a year wasted a year
think about all the incredible things this president has been able to
accomplish in the last year the economy is booming Isis is on the
run we're remaking the judiciary we've gotten rid of thousands of regulations
that have allowed our economy to actually thrive we're making strides in
places that we haven't seen in decades if we did not have to deal with the
obsession by the media over this then I imagine the other amazing things that
could have been accomplished in this past year the media doesn't keep you
from accomplishing things you set policy we report on you've done deal with all
the questions that you guys sent on this time with me one question
yeah yeah one crazy question watch our investigation that goes to the heart of
the legitimacy of our democracy and what he does for the economy matters too
they're not mutually exclusive to borrow your your phrase you have to report on
all of it don't dismiss the Russian investigation before we even know what
Muller has look we've spent a year and frankly if in a year they haven't been
able to find anything I think that's very telling here's here's something
else you guys say that you report on both of these things 90% of the coverage
of this president is negative how can 90% of the coverage be negative when so
many incredible events are happening here's your answer oh here's your answer
keep the president off this device or actually I don't want him to do that I
want the window into his mind but what he says is what drives the car they
appreciate the fact that they have a president but that's where your negative
coverage comes from is what he says and what he does but you know what you know
what is helpful to the American people you coming on shows like this to make
the case directly to them we know you have to go you are always welcome thank
you thanks for having me oh we're going to be with you Sarah Huckabee Sanders
thanks for being here
