The Guantanamo Bay Closure Meme

A recurring media narrative suggests that President Obama failed to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center only because Congress refused to fund the closure. The hosts challenge this "meme," pointing out that Obama had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and control of the House during his first two years. They argue he could have secured the funding and fulfilled his campaign promise had it been a true priority.

Josh Earnest and the Guantanamo Bay Closure Failure

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest blames Congressional Republicans for the failure to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. The hosts use audio editing to remove Earnest's long pauses, making him sound like a robot. They question why President Obama has not used an executive order to close the base if it is a "national security priority."
