And welcome to meet the press now. I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington as we

continue to monitor the breaking news out of Las Vegas where a gunman is

deceased and there are multiple victims after a shooting at the University of

Nevada. We'll head back to this story coming up,

and as we learn more and as authorities continue

to respond to the scene,

and we'll bring you any updates from police

as we get them.

But first, turning to the top politics story of the day,

four Republican presidential candidates

will meet on the debate stage tonight for the fourth time this cycle,

without Donald Trump, who maintains a commanding lead over the field.

And Trump is now telegraphing what kind of general election campaign

he's going to run, and ultimately what he wants a second Trump term to look like.

Here's what he said at a Fox News town hall in Iowa that aired last night.

You use the words, I am your retribution. And now before that you said if you've been wrong and you used other words as well

but I want to be very very clear on this to be clear do you in any way have any

plans whatsoever if we're elected president to abuse power to break the law

to use the government to go after people you mean like they're using right now so

under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight.

You would never abuse power as retribution against anybody.

Except for day one.
