from the white house on that. thank you. time for my take on this. shuttering guantanamo bayen a g. the only reason it didn t happen then is because the outrage about moving the most dangerous detainees to prisons in the u.s. was met with immediate and swift action to stop it. since then the white house did plan b, releasing other gitmo detainees to other foreign nations usually on friday afternoon when they didn t think anyone was really looking. now we re talking about the most dangerous of the dangerous in prisons here in the heart land. the arguments that keeping gitmo open further fuels the fire of hate that terrorist feels toward the u.s. if we close the prison, the terrorists will feel better, right? as we ve seen over the last few years no matter what we do, terrorists still hate america, and bringing the terrorism problem to american prisons
thousands of people in the community. the fear is if given to another country, this administration says we can trust they will keep a close eye on them. that would be the worst case scenario. the best case scenario is the president says we will keep gitmo open or says nothing and leaves it open i think he is going to wait it out like he is with isis until he leaves. you will have to guarantee any facility that president obama choses in this country is safer than guantanamo bay? i have one. i have like somewhere in i don t know if there is a supermax facility in texas but i know if you try people and find they are guilty of treason and murder you can put them to death and that is a lot less expensive than $900,000 a year. the gop wants gitmo open. but remember what the president has done. he has released some of the most high level offenders. that is why the bowe bergdahl deal was a big deal.
it. thank you. new details on a major shift on the observe extra-administration s goal to close gitmo. their argument it was one thing before and now it s change together fact that it costs too much to keep gitmo open. chief intelligence officer catherine herridge joins us live from washington. what s the justification for the flip-flop. reporter: the white house counterterrorism adviser lisa monaco said president obama is drafting a new strategy for shutting down the prison camp citing the high cost and saying that had a high-cost republican is on board. the costs involved here and why senator mccain and some others believe we really should close guantanamo today, right now $3 million per detainee per year to house them in guantanamo. but critics charge that 3 million figure is grossly inflated and misleading based on an overall report.
or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you re pregnant or planning to be. ask your doctor about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. welcome back to outnumbered. president obama once again pushing to close the military prison at guantanamo. white house officials are saying they re in the final stages of plan quote, to safely and responsibly shut down the facility. the president plans to veto any bill that would help keep gitmo open. 116 detainees remain at the camp or as i call them bargaining chips.
for all of your with terror threats rising here and around the world, is this any time to be closing gitmo down? cuba is demanding it and now the white house is appoint agnew envoy to help do it. the white house says keeping gitmo open is too costly. it puts a target on our backs, but john tammany disagrees. what do you think, john? i have lot skepticism about the war on terror too, but if we re going to be at war and if in fact gitmo keeps us safer and if it makes it less likely that terrorists will reach the united states and bring us harm well need to keep it open because, let s face it if they succeed, that s going to be a lot more costly than having gitmo open in the first place. prisoners release from gitmo and
