He got really snippy and when he did attempt to try and answer the question, he wouldn't cite any direct sources. He just kept saying he got his stats from talking to Homeland Security and "a variety of sources" that he refused to name. That tells me he's making things up as he goes along.

Pretty sure the POTUS gets his numbers straight from the source. I mean, he is the leader of the free world and has informal daily Presidential briefs with the Office of National Intelligence, National Security Advisor, and Agency Directors. Formal briefs take place at minimum weekly at his prerogative. I would tend to lean on their analytics versus some biased hack. Comical someone would question his sources.
