JOHN ROBERTS (ANCHOR): So let's talk a little bit about successes and near successes, and things you still have to work on, in terms of the first 100 days. New Fox News poll shows the border has been one of your big successes, that cross-border illegal traffic has been reduced by 96%, illegal aliens reduced into this country reduced by 99.99%. And on this Fox News poll President Trump gets big marks on that, 55% approval. He is about even on immigration in total, but everything else, he's sort of underwater, and particularly on the economy, tariffs, and inflation he's well underwater. You've still got some work to do on that front, a lot of people think that he's spending too much time on tariffs and not enough time on the economy and lowering prices. What do you say? 

STEPHEN MILLER (WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR POLICY): Well I don't want to make things awkward for you, John, but it is our opinion that Fox News needs to fire its pollster. And I won't surprise you with that, I don't think you are surprised I'm saying that, but the Fox News pollster has always been wrong about President Trump. They were the ones that said all summer long that Kamala Harris was going to be the 47th president of the United States. So we don't acknowledge any of that polling.
