HARRIS FAULKNER: Because it's just happened now and I want to double check this with our producers. The DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has resigned. Mr President--
DONALD TRUMP: Well, I'm not surprised. Good-- that's a big victory for our country.

DONALD TRUMP: OK.
HARRIS FAULKNER: Listening to the team and you.
DONALD TRUMP: Cross out that victory.
HARRIS FAULKNER: Right-- well-- and I want to tell everybody, you issued a statement last night and you called for that, though.
