there that claimed so many civilian lives. does that not under cut the administration s ability to fight terror in that region? and do you stand by your assessment that it s a success? it s absolutely a success. and i think anyone who would suggest that it is not a suggest does a disservice to the life of chief ryan owens. he fought knowing what was at stake in that mission. anybody who would suggest otherwise doesn t fully appreciate how successful that mission was. what the information that they were able to retrieve was. and how that will help prevent future terrorist attacks. senator john mccain i understand that. i think anybody who under minds the success of that raid owes an apology and disservice to the life of chief owens. ky answer the question? i m answering the question. please let me finish. the raid, the action that was taken in yemen was a huge success. american lives will be saved because of it. future attacks will be
prevented. the life of chief ryan owens was done in service to this country and we owe him and his family a great debt. for the information that we received during that raid. i think any suggestion otherwise is a disservice to his courageous life and the actions that he took full stop. what was the first part? is that your message to senator john mccain? that s my message to anybody who said that. anybody. i don t know how much clearer i can be. hunter walker? this morning president trump asked local law enforcement officials to help assist with deportation. if he doesn t get the cooperation he s hoping for, does he plan to have dhs pro-actively begin deportation of undocumented criminals in the order zone? well, i think look, when you talk about immigration and what he s doing, whether it s the wall or enforcing existing regulations or visa reform, i don t think anybody questions the president s commitment to border security and immigration
it left a navy s.e.a.l. and dozens dead among them an 8-year-old girl. today senator john mccain raised hard questions about the raid saying while many of the objectives of the recent raid in yemen were met i would not describe any operation that results in the loss of american life as a success. white house spokesman sean spicer immediately demanded an apology from mccain. absolutely a success. i think anyone who would suggest it s not a success does disservice to the life of chief ryan owens. reporter: though last week he seemed to echo senator mccain s words. you never want to call something a success 100% when someone is hurt or killed and that was the case here. reporter: the leader now is taunting the u.s. in a new audio recording. the new fool of the white house
