WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NEXT IN

TERMS OF HOW THEY HANDLE THIS.

>> I THINK THE WHOLE THING HAS

BEEN A HUGE WASTE OF TIME FROM

THE BEGINNING.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS

PREDICTABLE AND I THINK IT'S A

DISGRACE TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

ACROSS THE BOARD.

NANCY PELOSI MADE IT CLEAR THIS

IS SOMETHING THEY'VE BEEN

WORKING ON FOR TWO AND A HALF

YEARS.

THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD

PLANNED ALL ALONG, THEY DON'T

LIKE THIS PRESIDENT, THEY DON'T

LIKE THAT HE CONTINUES TO

DELIVER ON EVERYTHING HE SAID HE

WAS TRYING TO DO AND THEY ARE

LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING THEY CAN

TO TAKE HIM DOWN.

I THINK IT'S A TERRIBLE THING

FOR THE COUNTRY THAT THEY'VE

USED THE IMPEACHMENT TOOL AND

PROCESS, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD

BE HELD FOR REALLY BIG THINGS TO

PROTECT THE PRESIDENCY.

AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE, IF ANYONE

IS ABUSING POWER IT'S THE

MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS

ARE ABUSING THIS POWER AND USING

IMPEACHMENT AS A POLITICAL TOOL

INSTEAD OF WHAT IT IS MEANT TO

BE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY I DON'T

THINK IT'S GOING TO MATTER, THE

PRESIDENT IS GOING TO GO TO THE

SENATE, HE WILL BE VINDICATED

THERE AND HE CAN GET BACK TO

DOING THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE, GET BACK TO DOING ALL

THE THINGS HE'S BEEN DOING.

THIS WEEK ALONE, WHILE THE

DEMOCRATS WERE WASTING THEIR

TIME THE PRESIDENT HAS DELIVERED

ON A MAJOR TRADE DEAL.

THIS MORNING HE ANNOUNCED

ANOTHER HISTORIC TRADE DEAL THAT

HAS BEEN REACHED WITH CHINA, NOT

ONLY THAT, HE SIGNED AN

EXECUTIVE ORDER ON

ANTI-SEMITISM, HE'S ALSO HELD A

HUGE SUMMIT WITH HIS DAUGHTER ON

PAID FAMILY LEAVE AND THAT'S

JUST THIS WEEK ALONE.

I THINK WE ARE GOING TO GO TO

THE CENTAGE, THIS THING IS GOING

TO

DOING THE WORK OF THE

PEOPLE.

>> Harris: I WONDER IF THERE'S

BEEN SOME ROOM TO DO SOME

BIPARTISAN WORK AND IF THE

DEMOCRATS WOULD WANT REPUBLICANS

TO COME TO THE TABLE,

PRESCRIPTION DRUG COST-CUTTING

PLAN THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH, DO

YOU SEE THIS TREND CONTINUING

AND CAN THERE BE SOME

BIPARTISANSHIP WITH THE

WHITE HOUSE ON ISSUES LIKE THAT?

>> I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION FOR

THE DEMOCRATS, THE PRESIDENT HAS

BEEN WILLING TO WORK WITH THE

DEMOCRAT SINCE HE FIRST CAME

INTO OFFICE, HE'S TRIED TO

ENGAGE THEM ON IMPORTANT ISSUES

BUT THEY'VE BEEN SO UNWILLING TO

DO ANYTHING THAT MAKES THE

PRESIDENT LOOK GOOD AND SHOW

COOPERATION BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN

SO SINGULARLY FOCUSED ON TAKING

HIM DOWN.

>> Harris: I WANT TO QUICKLY

HERE RIGHT NOW FROM MICHIGAN

CONGRESSWOMAN ELISSA SLOTKIN,

ONE OF THE DEMOCRATS IN

BATTLEGROUND DISTRICTS WHO SAY

THEY ARE STILL UNDECIDED ON

IMPEACHMENT.

LET'S GET YOUR REACTION.

>> SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE

CALLS THAT ARE NOT BASED ON A

POLL OR THE POLITICAL

CONSULTANT.

AT LEAST I'M DOING WHAT I THINK

IS RIGHT AND BASING MY DECISIONS

ON INTEGRITY, THAT IS THE MOST I

CAN DO.

>> Harris: SARAH, WHAT DO YOU

SAY WHEN YOU HEAR THAT?

>> I THINK IF THAT IS REALLY

WHAT THE CONGRESSWOMAN IS DOING

IS BASING THIS MODE OFF

INTEGRITY AND DOING WHAT'S

RIGHT, SHE WON'T SUPPORT THIS

IMPEACHMENT PROCESS.

IF SHE'S REALLY LOOKING AT DOING

WHAT'S RIGHT.

LET'S NOT FORGET, THEY SPENT

WEEKS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

EXACTLY WHAT THEY COULD IMPEACH

THE PRESIDENT ON.

THEY NEVER HAD ANYTHING.

THEY POLLED

THEY POLL TESTED WHAT THEY

THOUGHT WOULD WORK BEST WHEN

THEY GOT NOTHING FROM THAT, THEY

CAME UP WITH THIS RIDICULOUS

ABUSE OF POWER AND OBSTRUCTION

OF CONGRESS.

>> Harris: HOW DO YOU KNOW

THEY POLL TESTED IT?

>> THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN REPORTED

WIDELY, I CERTAINLY KNOW THE

NEWS REPORTS ARE NOT ALWAYS

ACCURATE.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT FOR THAT TO

NOT BE CORRECT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE

THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED

AND ACCEPTED AND NOBODY'S PUSHED

BACK ON THAT.

>> Harris: I WANTED TO ASK YOU

ABOUT SOMETHING, STEPHANIE

GRISHAM WHO WHEN YOU DEPARTED

SHE STEPPED IN AND TOOK ROLE OF

THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY

AND SHE SAID SHE HAD TO THE

WHITE HOUSE WERE SURPRISED THE

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT WAS NOT

A LONGER LIST, THAT THERE WERE

ONLY TWO, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION

TO THAT?

>> I THINK SHE'S EXACTLY RIGHT

BECAUSE THEY'VE SPENT SO MUCH

TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW

THEY COULD ATTACK THE PRESIDENT,

THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY HAD

ALL THESE THINGS COME TOGETHER

WHEN IN REALITY THEY HAD

NOTHING.

ALTHOUGH WITNESSES THAT CAME

FORWARD, NONE OF THEM REALLY SAW

ANYTHING BECAUSE NOTHING TOOK

PLACE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY THE

PRESIDENT DID NOTHING WRONG AND

THEY ARE GRASPING AT STRAWS

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY

CAN IMPEACH HIM.

EXACTLY LIKE NANCY PELOSI SAID

LAST NIGHT, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING

ON THIS FOR TWO AND A HALF

YEARS.

SHE MADE THAT LOUD AND CLEAR

THAT THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH

THE UKRAINE CALL AND EVERYTHING

TO DO WITH TRYING TO TAKE OUT A

PRESIDENT THEY SIMPLY DON'T

LIKE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THE IMPEACHMENT

PROCESS IS ABOUT AND FRANKLY THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SMARTER AND

BETTER THAN THAT AND I THINK

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING SUCH A

SHIFT IN THE POLLS AND THE

PRESIDENT'S FAVOR.

>> Harris: THE MUELLER

INVESTIGATION STARTED TWO AND A

HALF YEARS AGO.

MITCH McCONNELL SAYS HE'S

WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE

WHITE HOUSE, HE SAYS THE

WHITE HOUSE LAWYERS, THERE IS NO

DAYLIGHT BETWEEN THEM.

IS THERE MORE OF OUR STRATEGY

NOW HEADED INTO THE SENATE THEN

THERE WAS PERHAPS EARLY ON WHEN

THE PRESIDENT AND THE

WHITE HOUSE WERE TAKING SOME

CRITICISM FOR NOT HAVING A

SINGULAR STRATEGY AMONG

REPUBLICANS IN A WAR ROOM?

>> I THINK THEY ARE WORKING

CLOSELY TOGETHER, I WILL LET THE

WHITE HOUSE SPEAK TO SPECIFIC

STRATEGIES.

I THINK THERE'S A GOOD THING

THAT THERE'S COOPERATION BETWEEN

THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE A QUICK PROCESS

IN THE SENATE.

FRANKLY, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A

HUGE WASTE OF TIME.

IF WE CAN GET THIS OVER WITH,

NOTHING WAS DONE WRONG AND WE

SAW THAT ALL PLAY OUT IN THE

PROCESS.

>> Harris: THEY WANT TO BE

ABLE TO CALL WITNESSES AND DRAW

IT OUT SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE

DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN DO.

>> I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S

NECESSARILY THE WRONG THING

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE THE

CASE FOR THE PRESIDENT, CALLED

SOME OF THESE WITNESSES UP AND

THAT'S ONE STRATEGY.

I JUST THINK THEY ARE BETTER OFF

MOVING ON AND GETTING BACK TO

THE BUSINESS PEOPLE ACTUALLY

CARE ABOUT.

I THINK HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE

ABLE TO DO THAT AND FOCUS SOLELY

ON HELPING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

CONTINUING TO GROW THE ECONOMY,

CONTINUING TO MAKE GREAT TRADE

DEALS AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO

SEE HIM AND ALL OF CONGRESS

SPEND THEIR TIME FOCUSED ON, NOT

ANOTHER RIDICULOUS WITCH HUNT

WE'VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME ON

OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF

YEARS.

>> Harris: THE PRESIDENT FROM

THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY SAID IT'S

BEEN A WILD WEEK.

I'VE SAID THIS TIME AND TIME

AGAIN, CHINA TRADE, WAIT UNTIL

IT HAPPENS AND THOSE THINGS ARE

HAPPENING, PHASE ONE OF CHINA.

ANY OTHER TIME THOSE WOULD'VE

BEEN THE TOP LINES OF THE NEWS

THIS WEEK, JUST WANTED TO PUT

THAT OUT THERE, THOSE ARE SOME

BIG NUGGETS OF NEWS.

SARAH SANDERS, GREAT TO HAVE YOU

ON THE PROGRAM.

THANK YOU.

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER FORREST

JOHNSON IS CELEBRATING AFTER A

MAJOR MITT WIN LAST NIGHT.

BUT HIS VICTORY MAY TELL US

ABOUT THE 2020 RACE HERE AT

HOME.

PHASE ONE OF THAT TRADE DEAL

WITH CHINA THAT I WAS JUST

TALKING ABOUT IS JUST THE LATEST
