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.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest blames Congressional Republicans for the failure to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
