ANGELES IS SEAN SPICER, THE

FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS

SECRETARY AND NOW SENIOR ADVISER

TO THE AMERICAN FIRST PAC, SEAN

I'M TRYING TO REMIND YOU AT

WHITE HOUSE PODIUM ASKING WHY

MANY MEDIA CONSERVATIVES

INCLUDING FOX AND ELSEWHERE ARE

NOW CASTIGATING THE PRESIDENT ON

DECISION ON SYRIA AND KURDS AND

MILITARY ASSAULT, THIS ISN'T ONE

THAT CAN BE BLAMED ON LIBERAL

MEDIA, IS IT?

>> NO, BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S

TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES, POLITICS

OF IT AND THE POLICY OF IT.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE POLITICS ON

IT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN CLEAR

THAT HE MADE A COMMITMENT DURING

CAMPAIGN TRAIL THAT HE WOULD GET

OUT OF ENDLESS WARS AND YOU HAVE

SEEN HIM NOT JUST IN SYRIA BUT

THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE,

AFGHANISTAN AND ELSE CAN WHERE,

TALK ABOUT PULLING BACK U.S.

TROOPS AND BRINGING THEM HOME

AFTER YEARS OF FIGHTING WARS

THAT HE DIDN'T THINK WERE JUST

OR APPROPRIATELY STARTED.

YOU HAVE SEEN HIM TAKE THAT CASE

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE DID

IT YESTERDAY AT SPEECH WITH

EVANGELICAL LEADERS WHERE HE

TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE IS

BRINGING TROOPS HOMES AND

KEEPING COMMITMENT, THAT'S

SEPARATE THAN THE POLICY OF IT

AND YOU SEE REPUBLICAN LEADERS

AND FRANKLY LEADERS ON FOREIGN

POLICY ELSEWHERE, THEY ARE

FIGHTING HIM ON THE POLICY, THE

INTERESTING THING I SEE IN

POLITICAL STANDPOINT, MORE

CREDIT FOR KEEPING HIS WORD THAN

ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE MOST

PEOPLE DON'T GET INTO WHY WE ARE

IN SYRIA, WHO THE KURDS ARE AND

WHO THE TURKS ARE AND THEY

UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE BEEN

FIGHTING IN INTERVENTIONS IN

COUNTRIES FOR YEARS ON END AND

LOST FOCUS ON WHY WE ARE THERE

AND THE PRESIDENT'S COMMITMENT

TO BRING THEM HOME RESINATES

MORE THAN POLICY DOES.

HOWIE: ON IMPEACHMENT MANY

JOURNALISTS AND PUNDITS

RATCHETED UP RHETORIC SINCE THE

PRESIDENT A FEW DAYS SAID HE'S

NOT COOPERATING WITH THE WHITE

HOUSE INVESTIGATION THAT HE

VIEWS ILLEGITIMATE.

I KNOW HE THINK HE SAYS THAT

THEY ARE BEING UNFAIR, PRIME

OPPORTUNITY TO ACCUSE THE WHITE

HOUSE OF STONEWALLING?

>> IT DOES GIVE THEM AN OPENING,

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S FAIR, IF

YOU LOOK BOTH AT NIXON AND

CLINTON IMPEACHMENT, THE HOUSE

DID VOTE AND CERTAIN FORMALITIES

THAT ARE AFFORD TODAY THAT, TO

THE PRESIDENT THEN IN TERMS OF

BEING ABLE TO CALL WITNESSES

HAVING DUE PROCESS, PHILOSOPHY

AND DEMOCRATS WANT TO HAVE IT

BOTH WAYS AND TALK ABOUT

IMPEACHMENT AND THEY DON'T WANT

TO PUT 31 DEMOCRATS IN TRUMP

SEATS ON THE RECORD AS FAR AS

WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE AND

EASY TO SAY STUFF AND TO GO

THROUGH THE MOTIONS WITHOUT

ACTUALLY HAVING TO CALL A SPADE

A SPADE AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK

THAT THEY ARE PLAYING AND PELOSI

WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHERE THEY

DON'T WANT TO PUT RECORDS, AND

YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD AND IT'S A

DIFFERENT GAME.

PUT YOUR REMEMBERS ON THE

RECORD, SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S

BEEN SWAGING FAR LEFT RIGHT NOW

BUT SHE'S TRYING TO HAVE IT BOTH

WAYS AND WALK THE TIGHT ROPE AND

NOT PUT DEMOCRATS AT RISK AND

HER MAJORITY.

HOWIE: SPEAKING OF THE

DEMOCRATS, THE PRESIDENT SAYS

AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THE PREZ

WHICH HE NOW CALLS THE CORRUPT

MEDIA IS PARTNERS WITH THE

DEMOCRATS IN THIS WHOLE

IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION AND DO

YOU BUY THAT, DO YOU THINK IT'S

TRUE OF ALL JOURNALISTS?

>> WELL, I'VE NEVER -- I'VE

ALWAYS SAID THAT YOU DON'T THROW

THE BABY WITH BATH WATER,

THERE'S A LOT OF JOURNALISTS

THAT DON'T DO A GOOD JOB, A LOT

OF JOURNALISTS TAKE THINGS TO

EXTREME, I DON'T THINK IT'S

SMART TO CAST ALL OF THE

JOURNALISTS WITH THE SAME BROAD

BRUSH BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HOLD UP

THE ONES THAT DO DO A GOOD JOB

AND THERE ARE SEVERAL, IF YOU

LOOK BACK TO MOLLIE'S POINT A

MOMENT AGO WITH RESPECT TO

SYRIA, YOU HAVE A LOT OF

JOURNALISTS EVEN WITH RESPECT TO

SYRIA POLICY DECISION WHO ARE

COMING OUT AND GIVING THEIR OWN

OPINION, RICHARD ANGLE EXAMPLE

WAS SPOT ON, HE'S TALKING ABOUT

IT BEING A STAIN, THAT'S NOT

REPORTING, THAT'S COMMENTARY,

YOU'RE SEEING THE SAME THING

WITH IMPEACHMENT, THEY ARE

SHIELDING HUNTER BIDEN AND JOE

BIDEN FROM THEIR PAST WHILE

GOING AFTER THE PRESIDENT AND

THERE'S A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK

WHY DID HUNTER BIDEN GET $50,000

A MONTH FROM UKRAINIAN ENERGY

COMPANY WHEN HE HAD NO

EXPERIENCE IN THE ENERGY FIELD

WHATSOEVER, THE ONLY EXPERIENCE

HE HAD WAS BEING SON OF SITTING

VLADIMIR PUTIN THAT WAS LEADING

IN UKRAINIAN ISSUES.

HOWIE: ABSOLUTELY FAIR QUESTION

TO ASK.

ABSOLUTELY, I AGREE WITH YOU.

>> HOWIE, HERE IS THE

DIFFERENCE, NOT JUST ASKING THE

QUESTION BUT I READ COMMENTARY

OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN SOME OF

THE NEWS STORIES WHERE IT'LL SAY

BIDEN DID NOTHING WRONG, WELL,

THAT'S NOT THEIR JOB, WE DON'T

KNOW IF BIDEN DID OR DIDN'T DO

ANYTHING, WE DON'T KNOW WHY

HUNTER BIDEN GOT THAT JOB, FOR

JOURNALISTS TO MAKE ASSERTION,

BASICALLY THEM COMING TO DEFENSE

OF DEMOCRATS AND BIDEN WITHOUT

KNOWING THE FACTS, IT'S AMAZING

HOW THEY RUSH TO DEFEND BIDEN

AND IMMEDIATELY CRUCIFY THE

PRESIDENT.

HOWIE: DISTINCTION BETWEEN

APPEARANCE OF GETTING ALL THE

MONEY WITH NO EXPERIENCE WHICH

STINKS AND CRIMINAL WRONGDOING,

YOU'RE STILL IN DANCING WITH THE

STARS, YOU DROPPED CURSE WORDS

AND HAD TO BE BLEEPED, WHAT WERE

YOU THINKING?

>> NO, THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.

IF YOU GO --

>> FAKE NEWS?

FAKE NEWS?

>> WELL, I DID NOT, NO, I WAS

EXCITED BUT I DIDN'T -- HOWIE:

OKAY.

>> I'M -- I AM DEFINITELY

EXCITED TO GO OUT EVERY WEEK BUT
