Good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york, day 393 of the trump administration. This day was different because this is what we learned today. We learned that russia interfered with our election, we learned how it helped the Trump Campaign and how it hurt the clinton campaign. Russia took advantage of our society, our First Amendment and our social media and our deep divisions. This was an asymmetrical act of information and psychological warfare and it never stopped.

If we dont get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill, gang members, and were just talking about ms13, there are many gang members that we dont even mention. If we dont change it, lets have a shutdown, well do a shutdown and its worth it for our country. Id love to see a shutdown if we dont get this stuff taken care of. If we have to shut it down because the democrats dont want safety, unrelated but still related, they dont want to take care of our military, shut it down. Well go with another shutdown. The president s threats come on the same day white house chief of staff and former general john kelly also weighed in on immigration policy. Kelly praised trump for his offer to reinstate daca.
