Tonight, and he is coming off a summit with some of the people who were his strongest detractors during the campaign. Senior National Correspondent john roberts is outside trump tower again tonight. Good evening, john. Bret, good evening to you. It was the highest Profile Summit yet at trump tower, which is directly behind this bus behind me, and also the highest dollars. Donald trump played host to hightech billionaires, most of whom actively campaigned against him in the election. Well, i just want to thank everybody. Reporter it was a crowd that just weeks ago had been openly hostile to donald trump. Amazon founder jeff bezos who during the campaign claimed trump was eroding the democratic process. Apple ceo tim cook who raised millions for Hillary Clinton. Facebook coo Sheryl Sandberg also backed Hillary Clinton, as did tesla and spacex founder, elon musk.

Interviews with political figures and news updates. Finish line in the special, or whether he actually inspired more democrats to turn out and whether it was john kasich coming in late that helped persuade people in the suburban districts, in jackson county, well, its okay to vote for him because governor kasich is popular and he says its okay. The fact of the matter is a race that is so close that it looks like its going to go to an automatic recount, there are many factors. For President Trump to take credit, theres no way for him or any of us to know that that was the decisive factor. I think what this race shows is two things.

tell they are already there. without maybe at odds with our government is saying because they don t want to call it a missile until they ve seen it but they can t get in to investigate. the international community can t. it is hard to comment on the veracity of the report. it is hard to know what intelligence our own government may have. i have think the point is, melissa, if we re to know whether these types of allegations true or false we need to have transparency, we need to have, i think, a tighter inspection regime than we currently have. as we think about the way forward with the iran nuclear agreement, i think this demonstrates there are concrete ways to strengthen it that would give us more confidence that iran isn t pursuing a clandestine program. melissa: along those lines, ed royce didn t think necessarily that de-certifying.
enforce it better as congressman royce was suggesting and to address iran s missile program key to developing a nuclear weapon or their support for terrorism in the middle east. melissa: absolutely. all right. we will watch and see because it is certainly a very scary and important issue. thank you for coming on. jon: it is almost halloween, of course, you can expect spooky things all around. but one 3-year-old has been really spooked and not in a fun way. also california wineries decimated by the out of control wildfires. we re live in napa. raising the tragic event but we were all able to get out. we re back here today for the first time. to see what was left, if anything. really it is just as you can see, devastation, there is nothing left.
