sean spicer, your reaction? guest: as i mentioned, i think both parties are to blame for the spending. i don't think it's entirely one party. but i do think it's, right now, on a trajectory that's exponential to what it's ever been before. that is a big problem. i don't think that republicans have clean hands on. this i think republicans need to recommit themselves to spending the way they did after 1994 and recognize this isn't about the short-term, but the long-term of the country. i do think both parytses are to blame. i think the republicans need to reclaim the mantle of fiscal discipline and spending. i think the pandemic made it hard, no question about it. but that's an excuse that i think a lot of people fall back on. i still think we have serious issues here. and if we don't, framgly, one party can't solve them. medicare, a lot of spending is short-term. it's one-off. the discretionary spending isn't going to do. this we don't seriously look at our entitlement programs we're going to be in big, big troub

but my favorite part of this little episode, was the reaction from former trump press secretary, sean spicerander in the u.s. naval reserve, who apparently has his own show on newsmax now. spicer was outraged by the explanation for his removal given by current white house press secreatary, jen psaki. first, let's see psaki's answer. >> is there any concern that because a lot of these appointees do go across administrations that there is a risk of politicizing these non-traditional and non-controversial positions. >> well, i will let others evaluate whether they think kellyanne conway and sean spicer and others were qualified or not political to serve on these boards, but the president's qualification requirements are not your party registration. they are whether you're qualified to serve, and whether you're aligned with the values of this administration >> seth: okay, you could agree or disagree, but it seems perfectly calm, perfectly reasonable now let's check in on how spicer's doing >> i'm announcing, tonight, for the first time, that i will not be submitting my resignation, and i will be

sean spicer. remember the man who literally lied to the press from the pulpit? he was having the best time mehdi back slapping someone. so it is a failure of the washington, d.c., new york incessuous press network that looks for access, looks for the bottom line. look, you come from the british press. you know this. you guys actually go after politicians. they are actually scared of you. you ask the tough questions. we hold our punches in america. it is pathetic. to the point where literally you're calling people moderate like senator blunt who was unable on "meet the press" today to answer whether or not joe biden won the election. in europe at least they go after them. and so the problem here is the overton window shifts. stuff like the replacement theory which is a white supremacist, anti-semitic conspiracy theory from the swamp of the nazis is literally now on fox news. amazing. >> and it will be main stream beyond fox news very quickly sadly. we have to leave it there. i appreciate you both speaking so plainly and bluntly about the threat we face. thank you

i just go back to the time that all -- you and sean spicer and kayleigh -- boy, if one little i was not dotted or t not crossed, the media would rip your head off. a 4:00 a.m. flight is an early morning flight when there dispersing illegal immigrants. you know, how many more lies can they tell and the media just keeps going along with it? >> you know, i don't think that the media cares at all, but certainly the american public does and you can see that reflected in joe biden's absolutely dismal approval numbers. people are sick and tired of his weak and incompetent leadership, and they are completely rejecting his socialist agenda. americans want secure borders, not open borders. americans want safety and security. they want lower taxes, not higher taxes. americans want more freedom, not more government control, and you can see this day in and day out by their absolute rejection of what is coming down the pipeline from the biden administration, and in these numbers that we are seeing come out that show his just pathetic poll numbers day after day, and it's because even though the americ
