sean spicer. >> there's two points i think are important. played a bunch of clips from the members on the democratic side was bill clinton's impeachment. the only bipartisanship that's occurring and you saw this, we will see it when jeff van drew of the democratic party switches to the republican party, more people from the democrats siding with republicans against impeachment. that's number one. number two, some of the clips you played earlier from the other network, the interesting thing to me is it's reminiscent of the 2016 election. there is an outright dismissal, this idea of deplorables. you talk about all the time. walmart shoppers and these people, i can't believe how they can possibly support this man or this agenda. as an outright dismissal by the media and the left of the existence. to be honest, sean, i actually kind of like it because this is what made them miss wisconsin. this is what allowed donald trump to carry michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin for the first time since 1988. they overlook and dismiss all of these peopl

characters that we draw, you don't know if they are going to be in the news, and for instance, sean spicer was an obvious one, and unfortunately, we didn't do a coaster for spicer, because he came and went and likewise for scaramucci, and these are fun assignments. we separate the politicos in the bars doing various things, and usually add, if you can, little details like this is cal's pence caricature and he is drinking with a beer stein that looks remarkably like donald trump. and little touches like that. and this is hillary leaving the hotel and she has bill carrying all of the luggage or the baggage. and anyway, you get the joke. and these are more cartoons from the art wood collection and these were done from ron covington in the '80s, and covington has a distinctive style, and he is related to the david lavine school of caricature, but he took it his own direction, and the very light crosshatching in here with a lot of gray scale, and they are beautifully done. the, ka ch shcaricatures are a thing, because you can exaggerate the features, and then limit them. some are very good of g

[laughter] griff: sean, let's talk about the media admitting impeachment isn't what voters think they are. play something for you and get your reaction. watch. >> it's shameful, it's terrible. >> why is it shameful? >> because it's all made up. they just want him out. they hate him. they have trump derangement syndrome. >> what do you think about the impeachment? >> i think he is getting railroaded. >> i think it's a terrible idea. it's obviously it's biased and i think it's political. and 50 years from now i think people are really going to look down upon it. brian: martha raddatz went out on location i don't know if she expected to get those responses this week with george stephanopoulos. she hosted this week is that what you are getting on the ground when it comes to impeachment. >> two things going

let's bring in press secretary sean spicer. sammy crews and republican fox news contributor. what you think about impeachment? what is ago now that nancy is trying to play games with the senate? >> i think it's an omission that donald trump is better than he has ever been. the fact that they had to add in the u.s. mca which is good for the country but could have been done a year ago, is a card pelosi had to play. we can do that, too. >> the duke nothing democrats, that sort of hurt them. >> they are trying to figure out. they realized they convinced them it's not a static position. the numbers have compound for them. they've gone up for trump. they are perplexed about why americans are responding the way they are. it's because they refused to engage with the american people on what's change. this is exactly like the kavanaugh situation. trying to destroy a man in public with a suitable trial and dropping him out into the public with no real way to get that reputation. >> you keep adding other allegations that are even less likely. >> this is the nature of this group of people

ed: here to weigh in former white house press secretary senior advisor sean spicer first of all merry is i didn't know there was such a thing as a wine cave. i've heard of a wine cellar and to your point, every politician has to raise money and frankly, if they're going to have a primary about how or whose raising money in whom, with whom , that's really silly. this election should be about policies and the agenda, and it shows you that if you can't get on right now, and talk about the policies, that it's going to be a pretty desperate election because the president is going to be running on an agenda of policies that have worked that have lifted up families and individuals and businesses, made the country better and stronger and so if the contrast is a bunch of people figuring out what bottle of wayne they drank and how much it costs, that's a pretty good prospect for the president's chances of re-election. >> sean and you were critical during her last senate run where you said everything she is saying right now is because she wants a white house bid and this goes along with that hip

he may get sean spicer to dance the meringue at this thing.hi the defendant is telling them how longe wants the trial to last. meanwhile, with all this drama involving ukraine and russia, who do you think trump had at the white house today? a gentleman najed sergey lavrov, who is the russian foreign minister. they really don't miss a trick. the last time trump was with this guy in the oval office wa s in 2017. this time all he gave them was the colonel's secret recipe. consider it a win. the press was not invited to this meeting today. but the white house claims that trump warned lavrov about russian interference in the election. he said, you guys had better not meddle in this election, wink wink. and i'm sure they won't. why would they do that to our friend? but it was a tough tuesday for trump. a long day of impeachment articles. he got a harsh scolding from his own director of the fbi. he had to kiss russian ass. trump couldn't take it anymore. he marched out to the white house lawn and had a word with reporters after dark. >> i think it's a disgrace that people can make impeachme

let's bring in sean spicer, tammy bruce, and jason. congressman, what he think about impeachment? where does ago now that nancy is trying to play games with the senate. >> she is totally paying games i think it's an admission that donald trump is stronger politically than he has ever been. the fact that he very quickly had to add in the you mca which was good for the country that could've been done a year ago, it's a card that nancy plus he had to play and say oh we been distracted by impeachment, but here we are we can walk and chew gum two. that was a do nothing democrats and that started to hurt them. >> they try to figured out that seeing the numbers go down and they realize they've can fence no one. the numbers have gone down for them, they've gone up for trump. they remain perplexed on why people are responding the way they are. it's because they refused to engage with the american people and what's changed. i can tell you this is just like the kavanaugh situation. this trying to destroy a manat in public, with the pseudo- trial and then dropping him out into the public with

. >> then-press secretary sean spicer may have sounded like he was joking, but he was talking about a serious issue, the president's willingness to discredit official government numbers, but only when it suits him. >> he would say that he doesn't believe what the unemployment rate was announced to be during the obama administration. those numbers are cooked. >> i hear 5.3% unemployment. that is the biggest joke there is in this country. >> so now that he's president, he'll cite those numbers. >> so the unemployment numbers just came out, and they're the best numbers we've had in over 50 years. >> but he'll say, i'm the source now. when obama was the source, that was the discredited source. but trust me, trust me. >> one result of this misinformation from president trump, it may have helped juice the economy. that's according to robert schiller, a nobel prize winner in economics. his latest book looks at how stories or narratives influence economies. what is the impact of his lies on the economy? >> in the long run, i think it's not good to set up an atmosphere of lies and counter-lies

. >> with me now, sean spicer. good old fashioned common sense there. but looks like nancy pelosi may have other ideas. >> there's a reason that mr. yang is in single digits. frankly because he offers a pragmatic solution to what their party needs to do, which is talking about issues and less about impeachment. impeachment is something that was done to sway the far left of the base. right now that's not what the democratic party wants. they want somebody to take it to trump. they did that. pelosi had to go with that finally in the house. what happened? you saw the president's numbers rise, the number of people that were for impeachment drop. this is good for the president, bad for the democrats. think about it. here's what's interesting. after the house voted for impeachment, pelosi did two things. she put usmca on the agenda. she wanted to pivot as quick as possible to make those in trump districts to walk the plank. it's not just about impeachment. the other thing that i thought was interesting, the morning after the vote when reporters were asking ab

joining us now with reaction is the hill's joe concha along with former white house press secretary sean spicer. thank you for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> now, joe, you deal with the media all the time. and it's funny, isn't it? it's like they're going from island to island and they create some new event or new scenario, a new reality for themselves. when we have a history of what's occurred here. why do you think he's now kind of trying to remake himself as mr. love thy neighbor at this point? >> interesting, right? pain is temp race. film is forever. i think joe score borrow used to be very friendly with donald trump, the candidate as was mika. donald trump was on their show on a weekly basis by phone. and many on the left ex-core shated completely scarborough for being so friendly. now they're trying to double down in terms of the criticism. but, you know, joe score scarborough is the problem, not the solution. he's attacked them on a personal level as you just showed saying that the president had early onset dementia two years ago. if that was two years ago, we should

. >> sean spicer our press secretary gave alternative facts to that. but the point is - >> what do you mean, alternative facts are not facts. alternative facts are not facts. they're falsehoods >> reporter: on the first full day of the trump administration, the president directed his aides to sit on a disprovable lie about his inaugural crowd size, a touch point in an era when facts are under attack of course, twisting the facts is nothing new in the politics. >> it depends on what the meaning of the word is >> that sound a lot like this. >> the truth is truth. i don't mean -- >> no, it isn't truth. truth isn't truth. >> but the scale is new. as of december 10th, the president made 15,413 false or misleading claims in office, that according to washington post what's also new the scale of the campaign against the press. >> just remember, what you are seeing and what you will reading is not what's happening. >> in a pew survey this year 30% of republicans had a great deal or fair amount of confidence that journalists will act in the best interests of the

. >> martha: sean spicer, you worked with this president on the campaign, through the rnc, worked withim when he was first in the white house, you were the first press secretary there. what goes through your mind as you sort of witness this as a president that you worked with very closely is about to be impeached? >> i mean, i think we all both during the campaign and right after were concerned about how the media and how the left was treating president trump in this historic election. and to see it now go this far frankly weaponizing the tool of impeachment is something that i frankly never thought we would come to do. and i think tonight we have changed the trajectory of you who impeachment will be used going forward. back in the, you know, 80's and early 90's this idea of being bourqueed changed the names going forward. tonight we are seeing impeachment being weaponized and used as a political tool in a way that it will change how we do this going forward: the standard that democrats set during the clinton impeachment and frankly the standard that they set only months ago was an imp

>> sean spicer did "dancing with the stars." >> i don't think that's a better position. >> i think thatould be a -- he understands donald trump, but remember, this is a guy who has -- >> everybody thinks they understand donald trump. >> until they get there. right. but this is a guy who had veto power when republicans were in the majority. going from that to a staffer, i don't understand how that transition works and also leaving in the middle of a term is drastic. >> is it to be part of his reelection bid? >> i think if i had to guess, he did not -- we did not talk about this, but i think he would like go to the go into the administration for part of the time. he sees himself as a political director. >> i think you hit the nail on the head for why it matters. if the republicans thought they were going to win back the majority, meadows wouldn't be somebody resigning mid terp. i want to get your take on something else. the withholding of articles of impeachment. we went through it all in the beginning of the show. you and i have talked about this before. the strategy here, it -- is it go
