locally. what's not working are the chemicals being used to try and kill the mosquito that carries the zika virus. with more than a dozen cases, this small miami neighborhood of wynwood is home to the largest on going zika transmission in the continental u.s. >> they've been applying both chemicals to kill larval mosquitos and adult mosquitos. it could be that the mosquitos are resistant to insecticides. >> the mosquito only travels about 164 yards in its lifetime but it moves quickly. >> it's been referred to as the cockroach of mosquitos. it lives indoors or outdoors. it can breed or hatch in a few drops of water. the eggs can last for months and it can bite four or five people

supporters believe the controversy with the khan family is a media obsession, if not a media invention. the list of critics of trump is extensi extensive. it includes members of congress and the veterans of foreign wars where trump spoke only last week. trump raised eyebrows even further by calling hillary clinton the devil and suggesting november's election might just be fixed. >> horrible things were said about me. i think it was frankly very tough. so all i did is respond. and i will always respond. >> reporter: donald trump did not apologize to the parents of humayun khan, a muslim american army captain killed in iraq in 2004. instead, he offered a hypothetical world without the war that killed him. >> if i were president his son wouldn't have died because i wouldn't have been in the war. >> reporter: trump repeated called to crack down on immigration as the possible reasons for the criticisms. >> when you have radical islamic terrorists probably all over the

place, we're allowing them to come in by the thousands and thousands. and i think that's what bothered mr. khan. >> reporter: among trump's critics, the head of veterans of foreign wars who said, the vfw will not tolerate anyone berating a gold star family member for exercising right of speech or expression. >> trump will restore law and order. >> reporter: trump's running mate mike pence was asked to defend the comments by the mother of an air force officer. >> his disrespect for mr. khan and his family is just an example of that. >> reporter: first, pence had to quiet the boos from ardent trump supporters. >> captain khan is an american hero and we honor him and honor his family as we do all gold star families. >> reporter: in ohio monday afternoon without provocation or context, trump suggested november's election may not be bo above board. >> i'm afraid the election is going to be rigged.

i have to be honest. >> reporter: trump said this about bernie sanders and his endorsement of hillary clinton. >> she's the devil. he made a deal with the devil. it's true. >> he seems to be going out of his way to offend different groups. >> reporter: senator jeff flake said trump's routine worked for the converted but falls short everywhere else. >> there have been enough statements that are just so out landish that in the end he simply can't win a general election. >> reporter: trump invited more criticism when he said this about former fox chairman roger ailes. he said he would like to think daughter ivanka would find another career or another company if subjected to sexual harassment. the proper answer is to use the law and human resources methods to improve the workplace. a new cbs news poll show six in ten voters say donald trump is not prepared to be president.

about the same number say hillary clinton is prepared for the job. clinton campaigned yesterday in omaha, nebraska with warren buffett. he tried to push trump into releasing his tax returns. >> there's a reason that clinton headed to nebraska so soon after her convention. it's not because of the state's five electoral votes. buffett, one of several o warren billionaires she's counting onto blunt trump's business bona fides. >> i'd like to make him an offer, an offer i hope he can't refuse. >> buffett told an audience his tax returns are being audited gist li just like trumps. >> i'll bring my tax return. he can bring his tax return. nobody's going to arrest us. there's no rules against showing your tax returns.

>> buffett is the world's third richest person, worth at least $360 billion. >> one time after another he went into bankruptcy. i've really never known another businessman that brags about his bankruptcies. >> mark cuban was helping clinton make that case. >> companies and jobs, they won't be created by terrifying people. no, donald trump. they'll be created by inspiring people, like hillary clinton does. >> the goal is to chip away at trump's biggest selling point. a recent poll found he had a 2-point edge when it came to who could best handle the economy. clinton's running mate tim kaine brought up his fellow virginian khizr khan. >> he wants to be commander in

chief? >> warren buffett blasted trump over the khans as well. specifically he questioned trump's claim that he had sacrificed for the country by creating jobs. he said trump got very rich doing it, which he said does not qualify as a sacrifice. donald trump's son eric is with us. he's executive vice president of develop and acquisitions for the donald trump corporation. your father seems to be under attack. he seems to be spending a lot of time explaining himself and on the defensive. what is the family advising him, those who are closest to him in this moment of toughness for him and this campaign? >> i think everybody told that you say the toughest three months of our lives are going to be the months after the convention. they said in presidential politics, it is just absolutely ruthless. i think we're seeing that. we're going to be attacked. >> gold star families are not ruthless. these are people who made the

ultimate sacrifice losing a son. and he seemed late to coming to an appreciation of that. >> there's no question. you see anybody who dies for their nation, made the ultimate sacrifice. for my father in terms of the khan family it's not about a soldier who's an amazing guy. my father even said that during the interview. this is about a big problem that we have around the world and that's radical terror. you see orlando and san bernardino and so many cases in our country. you see nice last week. there was a priest who was beheaded in his own church the other day. my father's simple message is not an anti-muslim message. it's anti-terror message. we have isis and they're running rampant around the world and we have to do something about it. quite frankly f you look at hillary -- >> warren buffett said yesterday, do you at long last have no decency? >> warren buffett has his own agenda. he didn't want the keystone

pipeline to be built. one of his biggest investments is railroad companies. they ship oil from canada down to the u.s. of course he's going to do anything not to have my father be president because my father is into energy and oil exploration. >> to charlie's point about the gold star families, maybe we should apologize. maybe we should tone it down. we've offended a lot of people here. is there no one on team trump to take a different tactic? >> my father called him a hero. i went to every single debate and i took great pride in doing that. either first second or third point that he always brings up is the v.a. and how bad the v.a. is. here you have hillary saying the v.a. is unbelievable and not as bad as everybody thinks. timeo we have 22 veterans committing suicide every single day, many of them because they're not getting treatment at the v.a.

his whole thing has been military first, veterans first. i find it ironic that you have pat smith who's the mother of one of the soldiers who died in benghazi. >> who spoke at your convention. >> between all the news networks she's gotten 70 seconds of air time. the khan father-in-lmily has gos of news time. >> one of the things, when pat smith spoke at the republican convention, your dad called into bill oh ri'reilo'reilly. it wasn't even covered on fox because of that. >> i think the point i'm trying to make is, it almost does seem like there's a double standard between the two. hillary's policies put the people there. my father was against the iraq war. you could say many of those soldiers would still be alive today if my father was commander in chief back then.

>> but your father's running mate also voted for the iraq war. >> that's not my father. he always talks about don't go into syria, libya, iraq. you're going to destablize the middle east. >> can i ask you something going back to your father's support of veterans. we now have families of 23 fallen soldiers, gold star families who have written a letter specifically to your father. it says, when you question a mother's pain by implying that her religion not her grief kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us. when you say your job building is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice. they want an apology. would you father be willing to apologize and move on? >> that's a great question for him. i think he has by calling them a hero.

i think my father has made a sacrifice. that's not the ultimate sacrifice. the ultimate sacrifice is a soldier dying for this nation. >> is it difficult for him to apologize on anything? >> my father's a fighter. i think this country needs a fighter. i think he was attacked the other day and attacked viciously. that's politics. you're going to get attacked. >> who tells your father he's wrong? >> we can tell him he's wrong. >> when was the last time you told him he's wrong? >> we do it respectfully and we go back and forth as a family. that's the benefit of having children being part of this. >> is he wrong on this? >> it was blown hugely out of proportion. he said the khan people looked like amazing people in that interview which never wants to get reported. he called him a hero so many different times. this isn't a muslim thing. this is an isis thing.

and this is also an anti-immigration, anti-syrian refugee thing coming into the country. he doesn't want to see more americans dead. my father is a great patriot. he doesn't want to see more americans dead. he sees what's happening around the country and he's shaking his head. >> they're telling us we have to go. with respect to the roger ailes question and with respect to ivanka and what he would advise her, does your father stick by what he said? or does he think the better answer ought to be to the attention of human resources and other things we can do with respect to sexual harassment in the workplace? >> there is no question it should be addressed and should be addressed strongly. my father runs a company. that's a no-go anywhere. ivanka is a strong, you know, powerful woman. she wouldn't allow herself to be objected to it. you should certainly take it up

with human resources. she definitely would as a strong person. at the same time i don't think she would allow herself to be subjected to that. i think that was the point he was making and he did so well. >> thank you. >> good being with you. >> to be continued. >> as always. the u.s. fight against isis has expanded to another battlefield. american war planes launched strikes against targets in the libyan part city. libya's government requested american air support. isis militants poured into libya after a nato-led air campaign forced gaddafi out five years ago. president obama has called the aftermath possibly the worst moment of his presidency. the it legllegal use of a t pesticide leads to a,,

against travel in the united states because of the zika virus. the travel advisory says pregnant women should not travel to the winwood area of miami. there are now 14 locally transmitted cases of the virus in or near that neighborhood. >> health officials say about half a dozen people infected did not have symptoms. crew working with local health officials is having trouble fighting the virus. the chemicals used to kill mosquitos that carry zika are not working as well as they had hoped. >> florida governor rick scott is with us from tallahassee. governor, good morning. >> good morning. come to florida. we are working hard to make sure you're safe. > okay, governor, thank you. want to ask you first, what have officials told you how worse this outbreak may become. >> well, here's what we know so far. we have 14 people that we believe have the local transmission of zika. you know, we're a state that has -- we'll have over 102

million visitors this year and 20 million people live here. it's a one-square-mile north of downtown miami. we're very active in making sure we're controlling the mosquitos. we have not found any mosquitos. and we've tested over 20,000 of them statewide, that have the zika virus. we're making sure we keep everybody there informed. we're testing them. we're giving them protection, we're giving them protection kits. we're keeping everybody informed. and we're, you know, we're going to continue to work hard. we asked the cdc to come down with emergency response team to help us, but we've got a very good state department of health and county health departments. we've controlled mosquito born viruses before. we will work hard to make sure we control this. >> go ahead. no, you. >> you started, governor, by saying please come to florida. i think it's good for you to say that because a lot of people there've even been international

count countries saying don't go to miami at the same time. how can you be certain it will stay contained to this area when you're dealing with mosquitos. >> first off, these mosquitos don't travel very far. they don't travel more than -- you know, not even, i don't think more than a block or so. the mosquitos just don't travel very far. so what we're going to do is we have do more mosquito spraying. i've allocated $26.2 million for the state resources and i'll allocate more if we need it to both for protection kits, for mosquito control. we are already very good at mosquito control. also make sure we inform everybody. we're going to let everybody know no standing water, wear bug repellant, wear, you know, long sleeves, long pants. it reduces your risk. if you're pregnant, go talk to your obgyn and keep yourself informed, but think of how big our state is. 15 hours to drive from key west to pensacola, and this is one square mile. >> go ahead. >> governor, do you not believe

that there is risk that this could appear in other cities who've had the same kind of conditions and climate that florida does? >> well, you know, look, we're going to continue to have a lot of travelers to our state. we have about little under 400 people that have had travel-related zika in our state. but that's been going on since february. i declared an emergency then. and so we've been active this all across our state. i've been meeting with mosquito control districts, with our local health departments all across the state, we're allocating the dollars. we believe we're going to be able to control this no different than what we've controlled dengue fever, and other mosquito born viruses. >> let me ask you this question. understanding how you're looking after the interest of florida, understanding how you're looking after the interest of the citizens of florida, understanding that you don't want people to be unnecessarily exposed, what is it that you're not doing?

or what is it that worries you at this moment about the zika virus? >> sure. well, i mean, look, this is a new virus that we're still learning things about it. so that's what you're -- in something like this you're always trying to learn more about it. we're making sure we're bringing in experts from the cdc, even from other mosquito control districts to go down there in miami to make sure we control it there. and then share this part of what i've been doing is traveling the state and meeting with mosquito control districts around the state. share best practices just to make sure we keep everybody safe. and put in perspective this has been going on for quite a while. you know, we had our first case of travel-related in february. i declared a state of emergency. and we have been working on this and we now have 14 cases out of 20 million people and probably 60 million visitors this year. >> so, governor, just to close the loop on this -- >> come to florida, we're going to take care of you. >> governor, to close the loop on this, can you guarantee all of us that you've contained this to wynwood and that it won't

spread? >> well, here's what i can tell you. we're going to keep you informed. we're going to tell you if we have any. we have 14 people -- 12 people in miami-dade, two people in broward. we have not found any additional local transmission in broward. so whenever we find an issue, we're going to address it. and we're going to keep people safe. >> thank you, governor. >> governor rick scott from florida, thank you so much. a new national poll this morning shows hillary clinton widening her lead over donald trump after the democratic convention. clinton has support from 50% of voters. that is eight points ahead of trump who is at 42%. the same poll last week had clinton leading by one point. donald trump stands by his criticism of the parents of a fallen muslim american soldier. despite growing backlash from republicans, trump said that the parents of captain humayun khan should not have criticized him. the soldier's father spoke at the dnc last week saying trump has sacrificed nothing and no one.

>> trump responded saying his sacrifices include jobs he's created and structures he's built. billionaire warren buffett had some strong words for trump. he spoke yesterday at a rally with hillary clinton in omaha, nebraska. >> no member of the buffett family has gone to iraq or afghanistan. no member of the trump family has gone to iraq or afghanistan. we've both done extremely well during this period. and our families haven't sacrificed anything. and donald trump and i haven't sacrificed anything. but how in the world can you stand up to a couple of parents who have lost a son and talk about sacrificing because you were building a bunch of buildings? i ask donald trump, have you no sense of decency, sir?

everything that this country stands for. i felt like it degraded the sacrifice that jason had given. >> cross called on republican leaders to go further in repudiating trump's criticisms. new revelations this morning about how donald trump ultimately stayed out of the vietnam war. he has long credited a high draft lottery number. well, "new york times" report this morning shows it was a combination of medical and educational deferments that kept him home. the "times" reports after graduating from the university of pennsylvania trump received a diagnosis bone spurs in his heels. the article says trump's public statements about the draft sometimes conflict with his selective service records. while trump has acknowledged his medical deferment in the past, he pain tmaintained it was the number that kept him from serving. only on "cbs this morning," a special message -- a special message from oprah. >> coming up, i'm on "cbs this

i would encourage them to stop doing anything that would encourage people to supersize their meals. encourage them to eat too much. and frankly, i would like swap out those sugary drinks, the orange drink as someone mentioned here, with water. that would be a fantastic thing for mcdonald's to do. that would really speak to the excess calories. >> your recommendation is eat less and drink more water? >> yeah. that's the issue with mcdonald's, it's so tempting for all of us. >> or count your points. you're going to have mcdonald's, count your points. >> is this our chief counter here. >> clearly, you would not have an orange drink. >> thank you, michael. >> thank you, michael. >> thank you. your phone will soon be seeing new faces. ahead, apple's new and redesigned emojis -- did i say it right, emojis?

through the miracle of videotape be able to share the next book selection. it's "the underground railroad" by colson whitehead. i've never read a colson whitehead novel. picked it. you what i normally do, read the first line, if the first line gets me -- "first time caesar approached cora about running north. she said no. this was her grandmother talking." and i was in. and i'm so glad. i went in and stayed in. because this is, i have to say, one of the most grim, gripping powerful novels about slavery i have ever ever experienced. and i use the word "experienced" because the read is a journey that you take with all of the characters. but at the end, you feel a sense of inspiration strengthened by the story. their story. and a sense of power.

i think no better book for a time such as this. and i'm really excited that all of your viewers will be able to experience the latest book club selection the "underground railroad" by colson whitehead. >> that's a nice introduction. it goes on sale today, guess what colson is here at the table. hello, colson. >> hello. >> tell me tell you something, it's a magazine, lee haber who is our book editor, she sends over a book constantly that she reads, no, no, no, it took over a year and a half, is he said oprah likes it. she said it was an emotional read for her. and was it emotional for you to write it? >> in general, i'm done with a book, done with a book, and i

want to think about it. i've gone back to different passages, this chapter, that passage. learning how to write it and how it was to narrate cora's astories. it's a difficult experience for me. i finished it given the people, my editor and my agents, my response is just different. >> about race and slavery, in any slavery story, somebody is going to die? >> yeah, race is something i write about. it's in this book and not in that book. slavery, i avoided it for a very long time. it's a very daunting subject. i first came up with the book 16 year, i was sitting on my couch, i think a lot of people when they first hear about "underground railroad" they think it's a little subway and when you hear it's not, they're disappointed. and i got to thinking which can

"underground railroad" was actually a railroad. i kept thinking about it. i kept thinking about it, what if ever state an antagonist goes through, it's a different state. so it became sort of a gulliver's travel type of structure. >> and what was your reaction when you heard that oprah had chosen you and your book as part of the book club? >> well, you know, i try to keep a downcast demeanor. >> oh, come on. >> the last four months i found out in april. i was in a good mood. i've actually at the supermarkets and cashiers are like, what's the book called? where are you going, bud? and i'm like -- >> normally, she calls the author. and she couldn't call you because you were on a plane. >> yeah, i was traveling and i couldn't get that iconic moment. but we landed, and i got a voice mail from my agent. usually when my agent calls me,

i'm in trouble or something. so i was worried. and it just said, oprah. >> i'd shut the front door. >> she said oprah's book club. >> and blankety blank. everyone was looking at me because i'm on an airline. >> do you think there's a link between slavery and the implications of slavery? >> i think i'm sort of in the moment and i can't step back and figure out why there's jangle and chain. with slavery at the moment, one day, i might go back to it. but i think as we get more african-american writers and directors, actors and get more access, we're able to tell our own stories. >> isn't is easy talking about it?

>> yeah, some people point for-tfoto ferguson and black lives matters. for me, those movements, it's not what it means to me. so i think it's taking up a larger space in america's conscienceneco consciousness. >> and you know writing this? >> yeah, i think i had the idea, i wasn't goofing off all day. i wasn't able to tackle the book. every couple years i would revisit the idea, am i ready now? should i work on something else? and i think becoming older, and becoming a father, i understood what it was like in a new way to face your parents, your child being killed, tortured. >> taken away from you. >> taken away from you.

i was able to inhabit that feeling in a way that i couldn't when i was younger. i became a better writer in 16 years. and in terms of my ability, i think i was able to do a better job than i would have done 16 years ago. i think as a person i was more able to take it on. >> congratulations. >> reatable. >> maybe you and i should do a facebook live a couple weeks from now. after we give people a chance to read it. >> that sounds good. >> thank you so much. and go to cbsthismorning.com for an excerpt from "underground railroad" which goes on sale and bonus features. and don't mission the september issue of "o." >> also on newsstands, next tuesday, august 9th. en american olympian who will
