Spicer spins. That's about all you need to know.
It's streamed everyday at 1:30 or so on youtube.
Spicer comes out and says things like, "Tomorrow morning, the President will attend the National Prayer Breakfast. Afterwards, he'll sign an executive order to roll back the previous administration's disastrous policy of [fill in the blank], which has cost so many Americans their basic freedoms. Later, he'll be announcing his pick for [fill in the blank]. Again, we'd like to see the Democrats treat our highly qualified nominee with as much respect as the Republicans treated Obama's nominees, but that's becoming increasingly unlikely. And tonight, he'll be having dinner with Denis Rodman, which should be fun."
Then he takes questions. Today, they Skyped in a few questions, which I guess is a first. One guy was a radio talk show host who asked what Trump will do for the coal-miners, after Obama betrayed them.
But nearly everyone else is at least a bit qualified. Spicer picks someone, they ask a question--only one--he deflects. Sometimes a reporter will interrupt his bullshit. He gets mad. Calls on someone else.
After about five minutes, he says, "That's it for today" and walks off. Reporters usually shout after him, for some reason. He ignores them.
Today was special because some dude from National Security, I think, took a minute to explain Iran sucks and Trump has put them "on notice."
Later, a reporter asked Spicer what the fuck that meant.
Spicer said the man made it clear. Iran sucks and Trump has put them on notice. Then he called on someone else.
