and, when done right, we can try them and put them in our maximum security prisons, and it works just fine. steve: hundreds of terrorists are already held in the u.s. with no incidents. mr. obama did not propose which supermax prisons might take gitmo detainees, but congress voted last year to ban all gitmo prisoners from the u.s. >> he should know that the bipartisan will of congress has already been expressed against that proposal. steve: on the campaign trail today, republican ted cruz. >> don't shut down gitmo. expand it, and let's add some new terrorists there. steve: republican marcio rubio. >> they're going to guantanamo, and were gonna find out everything they know. steve: gitmo, that once held 680 detainees, is down to 91, 35 eligible for transfer. 46 face charges. 10 will never be released. 9/11 mastermind khalid sheikh mohammed is at gitmo,

washington. nigel: as soon as the president made the announcement earlier today, the us senate began speaking out. one of the most vocal against the decision to close gitmo is south carolina senator tim scott. take a look. here is where the south carolina location where the department of defense is looking to move the 60 or so detainees who remain, the naval brig in charleston. it's not far from the charleston international airport, and just off interstate 526. the president says it would save taxpayers $1.7 billion over 10 years. however, senator tim scott says it's not worth it. >> the defense authorization act is very clear. you cannot transfer enemy combatants to any location in america, much less a location in south carolina that is surrounded by schools, and is in fact a residential community. i can't think of a worse idea than putting a target on the back of south carolina in an

promise. nigel: governor nikki haley said she would fight the move to bring gitmo detainees to south carolina, as well. hillary clinton will be in columbia tonight. there, she will be talking about the issue of gun violence. gabrielle: joining her tonight is gabrielle giffords. the former congresswoman was almost killed because of gun violence. wyff news 4's patrick hussion is live in columbia, with more on what we can expect tonight. patrick? patrick: this will be hillary clinton's 12th official visit to south carolina since she began her campaign. as we edge closer to the primary on saturday, tonight, mothers whose children were victims of gun violence or who died while in police custody will bee meeting with clinton. former congresswoman gabrielle giffords, who herself, was a victim of gun violence. earlier today, these five mothers, these women were at the rock of ages baptist church in

each mother talked about losing their children, and why they're voting for hillary clinton. one of the mothers, sybrina fulton, lost her son, trayvon martin, in 2012. she says there needs to be a better criminal and judicial system. >> my son was not committing any crimes. my son did not have a weapon. my son did not murder and shoot anyone. so i can still sleep in my bed. the reason why the person walked away is because our justice system does not work. >> so no, she's not perfect. maybe she hasn't voted for every piece of legislation that benefits our community. but as a whole, she's worked very diligently on behalf of our community, and that's why we stand behind her. patrick: the mothers are touring 10 cities in south carolina before saturday's democratic primary. again, this is breaking down --

would be generated through an increase in the gas tax, to the state department of transportation, which he believes is in major need of reform. >> and i think that is a poor way to handle the taxpayers' money, where you've got seven elected commissioners from seven different areas of the state, each trying to bring as much money back to their area as possible. that may be something the senator from horry thinks is admirable. i do not. tim: davis spoke for hours this afternoon. he has control of the senate floor through his filibuster, which is blocking any votes. senator larry martin of pickens told me today, it's possible a roads funding bill may not pass this year if disagreement in the senate continues for much longer. nigel? nigel: thanks, tim. one man faces a murder charge, and pickens county deputies continue to question two other people, in the death of a woman found on a boat ramp.
