a girl. >> dana: hillary wants to abolish the second amendment, have you ever heard her say explanation from the other side, from trump and from other people who support gun rights a number of times. what she has said is she believes in the second amendment. that she believes in the right to bear arms. but that there are certain weapons, ak-47s and things like that we need to take a close look at whether or not people should be carrying around

>> dana: i heard her say she wants to increase background checks in this country as well. >> kim: now to a heart warming moment for one of donald trump's main supporters, his running mate. that would be mike pence as he stops and hugs the sonover a terminally ill american. >> i couldn't be more proud of you, thanks for standing up for your dad. >> t before a crowd in pennsylvania yesterday. pence talking about how donald trump would improve the lives of all americans. he says he is proud of his state of indiana for signing the right to try legislation into law. and they will take that fight to washington, d.c. for more treatment. >> right to try allows terminally ill patients to access investigation treatments

>> kim: that is from this morning. tom, i encourage everyone to go to news3lv.com and check out dana's interview with meyer lou who won gold in 1984. >> tom: she was america's sweetheart at the time for sure. we have a reported accident on desert inn and eastern. and on u.s. 95 motorcycle involved in that one. police on the scene. >> jeff: we're looking at that accident as well at desert inn and eastern. sky 3 is headed that way. for the freeways on saturday deferentially south bound it is starting to slow down. travel times it's nine minutes from downtown to tropicana. what is not in the clear is the air.

going on outside. >> kelly: not the best air quality for thus morning. this is dust from thunderstorms in arizona. that is what we're seeing outside as we take a live look outside. dusty conditions. the winds will be picking up this afternoon. that will help blow some of this out of the area. probably around noon is when we'll start seeing conditions improve. temperatures heading out the door lakes 81. green valley 83. still a mild start for our day. temperatures increasing this afternoon, not quite though to where we normally are this time of year. i think you'll like the high temperatures today. we have thunderstorms in parts of new mexico and arizona. more storms expected in arizona today. we could see showers in the

if you missed the opening ceremony of the olympics, what do you do? this guy is a triathlete from team u.s.a. he doesn't get to rio for two more days. he has the out fit so he had his own opening ceremony in arizona, about a four hour drive from here. the good news is after he competes next week, he's going to stay for the closing ceremony so he'll be just blake lively doesn't care what people have to say about her post baby bod. it's perfect. she was on an interview show in australia when they complemented her on her bikini ready figure just a couple of months after she gave birth. she said i don't care what you have to say. it's unfair her post baby body
