That does it for us from all of her colleagues across the networks on nbc news. Thank you for staying up late with me. I will see you again tomorrow. The date is october seven and previously only on my calendar for one reason which it is vladimir putins birthday. He is 72 today. Congratulations. But now for Me And You and everybody, the date october seven is its own unforgettable indelible thing the same way that 9 11 is an unforgettable indelible date for us forever now too.
