BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): You know, through this entire process, believe it or not, The Wall Street Journal did a poll with NBC -- the president's approval rating stays exactly the same, 43 percent going in, 43 percent going out. Now the president -- people are saying, “wow, you know, he lost this round.” I don't know if you lose this round at all. And if you do, I think people should understand, that's what's called politics. Sometimes you get a leg up. Sometimes you don't. What's the big picture? The big picture -- there's a crisis at the border. Almost everyone realizes it. It's how to approach it is the key. My sense is there are some level-headed people who have emerged out of this. They are going to be part of the 17 who are going to come up with something out of this in the next three weeks. And they know a barrier, a bollard fence, that is something that people can deal with and they absolutely need. And if they are doing a true study, they're going to emerge from that and it's going to be hard for the president to walk away.
