Giving you more time for what matters most. (team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace. >> shannon: president trump on defense tonight after an early morning trade suggesting his predecessor is solely to blame for once-gitmo detainees returning to terror. "122 vicious prisoners, released by the obama administration room gitmo, have returned to the battlefield. just another terrible decision." hi, trace. >> here is what we think later this. "fox & friends" did a story about a former guantanamo...

Oversight and capabilities. >> reporter: do you believe president obama ordered something like this? >> i get thats a cute question to ask, and my job is to represent the president, and talk about what he is doing, and what he wants. he has made very clear what his goal is, what he would like to have happen. >> so lets bring in jon karl from the white house tonight, and there is one other tweet i want to report on tonight. president trumps tweet under scrutiny from this morning. the president tw...

Watch. >> obviously, the president meant in totality the number that have been released on the battlefield, that have been released from gitmo -- since individuals have been released. so that is correct. >> except for the part about blaming mr. obama and not mr. bush. we should note, george w. bush explained in his memoir that he released prisoners because, "the detention facility had become a propaganda tool for our enemies and a distraction for our allies." of the 122 former detainees who retu...

Media, sort of the fundamental pillars of our democracy, that has a potentially long term corrosive effect that may in his view serve short-term politics but in the long-term is very unhealthy for our country. >> i dont think people -- i think people may want to believe it but any rationally thinking person cannot come to the conclusion this is true considering president trumps wiretapping accusation is not the only unsubstantiated claim that hes pushing. look at today. he said 122 vicious priso...

Thats the way you asked the question. he meant that the total number of people released from gitmo was 122. just to be clear there is a big difference under the bush administration most of those were court ordered. the obama administration took great steps. it was a campaign promise from day one to close gitmo. this president is very clear that he understands the nature of the threats the people in gitmo pose to our nation. and the rate there are among people that we have released. that is a con...

No, it didnt happen. the thing is if they want this lie to go away, he probably shouldnt lie every day because, yesterday, he lied and said barack obama released, what? 122 -- >> that was incorrect fox tweet. >> it was nine. no, no. here is the thing. >> im sorry. did i mess up? fox and friends tweet? >> fox and friends actually got it right. >> oh. >> the president. >> got it wrong. >> twisted fox and friends tweets. >> oh, sorry. >> so -- >> "fox and friends." >> people are blakeming "fox an f...

>> unsustainable. >> i was reading john -- read john pedoritz this morning. we are still in a bubble. nobody outside -- if you voted for sdrudonald trump you like dd trump still. >> im sorry if you voted for donald trump. >> if you didnt vote for donald trump, you still dont like donald trump. on all of these tweets, he could pick up the phone. steven miller, hey, steven, what about -- and, steven, from everything ive heard is a brilliant guy. he would say, no, mr. president, 122, but bush relea...

Steven, and from everything i heard is a brilliant guy. he would say, no, mr. president, 122, but bush released most of those. all he has to do is pick up the phone and call, but he doesnt, and he embarrasses himself and sets republican legislation back every time he does this. >> there are people around him he can call and get facts. >> i dont know where you get that about steven miller, and steven miller would say the power of the president wont be questioned, so sir, whatever you say is right...
