took all kind of different positions. he said different things and different interviews. so, he s got the right angry at him. danny tarkanian got into the race shortly after the last health care debate. remember, heller voted the way the president wanted him to finally. ultimately. only after. after going through this and this and this. he had stood here in nevada where brian sandoval the governor saying we re not going to vote and we re not going to support the current bill. heller is in big trouble. his numbers here, his approval numbers are terrible. we ll see him later on today here in reno. he is right now as we are sitting here, he is speaking to a group here in las vegas called hispanics and politics and then he s going to get on a plane y believe, fly up here and speak to the american legion. at the same event president trump is speaking at. we ll see what kind of interaction they are having. their last interaction is a little awkward. the democrats are using th
this is the one we were worried about. you weren t there. but you re going to be. you re going to be. look, he wants to remain a senator, doesn t he? okay. and i think the people of your state, which i know very well, i think they re going to appreciate what you hopefully will do. we are back on our outside the beltway tour here in reno. you remember that from back in washington, that awkward moment between president trump and nevada senator dean heller at the white house last month. the president leveling that, let s call it a thinly veiled threat against heller. one of the most vulnerable senate republican in the 2018. voted for that so-called skinny repeal bill which also was defeated. his votes on health care reform, one of the big reasons he is facing a primary challenge from our next guest.
we are back now in nevada with time thoughts from john ralsten. we re in this state, dean heller and danny tarkanian trying to fall all over themselves to be closer to donald trump at maybe the lowest point of his presidency. think of how weird that is. we ll be back, i m sure at some point before the 2018 elections. thanks very much for being on the set. you bet. today s big picture comes to us from south africa. workers holding down a tranquilized rhino after taking out its horn to deter poaching of one of the world s most endangered species, just 30,000 rhinos remain worldwide. the photographer of this picture here for reuters. we d love to hear your thoughts online, on social media and do not miss tomorrow s show. we re staying on the road outside the beltway headed to
