kain was then able to focus on speaking to those at the rally he spoke about his plans for immigration and his determination to not make this country a deportation nation. his belief that hillary clinton is the most prepared candidate to be president. and touched on his support for unions and for jobs as well as his and clintons plans if they are elected to make americans, and nevadans do better financially: tim kaine 15 secs "manufacturing and research and infrastructure invested workers raise the minimum- wage women should get paid equal for equal work i mean that's pretty basic focus on the success of small businesses make them easier to start make them easier to grow" of course the night could not fully go on without kaine talking about the vice presidential debate. he told the crowd that he went in with two objectives one was to defend

raise some of the comments donald trump has made in the past and see if pence could defend him. he admits he might've come off a little eager and assertive but he says he just wants to make sure the best person ends up in the white house coming up at 11 kaine couldn't help but take some jabs at donald trump... what he had to say about the republican candidates latest visit to nevada . senator kaine is staying in the valley overnight .. and has a rally scheduled tomorrow morning at sun city macdonald ranch. people across the silver state are still buzzing about the republican presidential nominee's mispronounciation of our name... "nevahhhhhda" "nobody says it the other way, it has to be nevahda " during this rally last night in reno--- donald trump went on a tangent over the pronounciation and people saying it wrong.. all the while-- saying it wrong himself! that is, at least according to locals... "the number of

legion......" "it's not nevahda its nevada!" "it trips me up a little bit, i want to correct them" historians say technicaly, trump was right. nevada comes from the spanish word for snowy which is nevahda... during donald trump's stop in the valley... he made time to sit down with local hispanic business owners. tonight... there's backlash. thousands of people are now calling for a boycott of the businesses who sat down with trump... fox5's cyndi us now in studio after speaking with people on both sides... i stopped by the restaurant that hosted the presidential nominee. they told me theyve been getting death threats... and harassing phone calls all day. the man who called for the boycott... says that wasnt his intention. mr trump sat here an di had the privillegd of sitting next to him i was very nervous! twenty four hours after donald trump visited her restauanrt... owner irma aguirre... is still in shock.

from the very beginning aguirre along with 29 other hispanic business owners spent about 45 minutes with the republican nominee. aguirre says the group discussed how to help local businesses grow.... i think the important thing is he cares for him to come out into the barrio to see what our concerns are small business owners thats a big deal to us while the meeting happenned inside... protests began outside. nats - why are you opening the door to someone that doesnt work for our community this is jose macias - who openly supports hillary clinton. following trumps visit... he posted this online calling for a boycott of every business in the meeting. its now been shared thousands of times. i feel angry and sad i feel seeing a presidential candidate it wasnt normal seeing the hate he was creating since day one aguirre says since trumps visit shes received death threats... attacks on yelp and dozens of phone calls. macias says he just wanted the latino community to know who this

take a look at the big picture and if youre going to be critical be critical of hillary clinton you know the fact we cant trust her there's one thing both macias and aguirre agree on.... this is an important election and im just not going to be bullied im mexicna american and im making usre my vote is countin gin the ballot box while we were there... there were actually people coming in to support the restaurant because they supported trump. a person also called threatening the business and the employees so irma aguirree called metro police who came by. jose macias' facebook has been shared 35-hundred times. the reports of creepy clowns continue to pour in... the clark county school district says the threats are unfounded... but some students are still getting hurt... school district police say six kids were hurt at leavitt middle

them had to go to the hospital -- when someone thought it would be funny to yell about a clown being on campus. the kids went running .. some fell and were trampled. district police say the clown posts are an "epidemic".... and they take every each post seriously. "there have been no incidents of any clowns that have chased kids... that have battered kids... have been seen with guns " district police say no one .. and no clowns .. have done anything because it is not illegal to post about showing up at a school... if anything they are just a drain on already limited resources. as state lawmakers prepare for the special session on nfl stadium funding... mayor carolyn goodman continues to push for it to be built -- in downtown las vegas. " we know we have a perfect site down at cashmen. so we keep hoping that because it's in the heart of the city, the community accesss is there, timing is there. the infrastructure is already in, we have

everything!" " mayor goodman wants lawmakers to consider cashman field as an option for the stadium... which is an effort to lure the raiders to las vegas. goodman says regardless of where it is built - she supports the n-f-l stadium. the special session will start monday morning at eight a-m. and fox5 will be there. be sure to tune in on all of the developments out of carson city. the las vegas fire department--- honors one of its own. a captain passes away.. weeks after fighting a fire. he was loved, he was, you could call him if you had any issues, he was that person. " how they're celebrating captain yaphet miller's life. i'm one of the lucky ones.

for that kind of screening and care. so i'll never understand politicians like congressman heck, who tried to defund planned parenthood. he was even willing to shut down the government over it. heck was opposed to roe v. wade and tried to criminalize abortion. that's just shameful, it's just wrong, it doesn't help anybody. congressman heck does not share my values.

there's the nevada way. work hard. play by the rules. and then there's the danny tarkanian way. penalized for failing to pay thousands in property taxes. ordered by a judge to repay $17 million in a failed development scheme. worse, tarkanian refused to pay it back, sticking taxpayers with the bill. the danny tarkanian way? the wrong way for nevada. dccc is responsible for the content of this advertising. ray steiber: i was in charge of homicide.

through yet another year of shortages. rosie says... so they cut educational spending from the special session! no wonder why nevada is 49 in education. our elected officials could care less about educating our children and retaining teachers. they need to get their priorities in order. this is a real slap in the face to our children and teachers. take a good look at the new las vegas logo.... do those diamonds in the top right... the hypocycloids... look familiar? they do to billie the new las vegas sign or logo whichever one it is, the three stars on it reminds me of the steelers logo. i think its silly. i just want to say in regards to the new logo, i hope they didn't pay a lot of money for it because if they did, they got taken, seriously taken. if that's the best that anybody offered or if that's the best that the city of las vegas chose, then that's pathetic .

i was in the school zone in front of basic high school and had a clark county school district bus passed me. it was in the wrong lane to turn into the school. once the crosswalk was clear, the bus sped pass the cars in the right hand lane to make its turn into the school. school busses need to start following the rules of the road. i am so sick and tired of this people throwing lit cigarettes out their cars like they think the las vegas streets is their own personal ashtrays. have some consideration people! to the terrible story we told you wednesday about a cat that was found tortured and hung on the side of a fence.. kennedy says... i live in the neighborhood where that poor cat was hung. not only does it makes me sick that a person could be so cruel, but it is quite worrisome knowing this happened in my neighborhood. there are a lot of stray cats that roam around, so this person needs to be caught before it either happens again. and finally anita says...
