>> reporter: good morning, many believe the controversy with the khan family is a media obsession, not a media invention. but the list is extensive it includes members of congress, and veterans of foreign wars where trump spoke only last week. in addition to this mess, trump raised eyebrows even further yesterday by calling hillary clinton the devil, and suggesting november's election, well, it just might be be fixed. >> however things are said about me i think is frankly -- all i did is respond and i will always respond. >> reporter: donald trump did not apologize to parents of humayun khan a muslim american soldier killed in iraq in 2004. >> if i were president, their son wouldn't have died because there wouldn't have been a war. >> reporter: trump called to crack down as a possible reason for criticism. >> when you have radical

islamist terrorists 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, veterans of foreign wars said the vfw will not tolerate anyone berating a gold star family members for exercising his or her right of speech or expression. and trump was asked to suspend the comment business of member of an air force officer. >> it's disrespectful to mr. khan and the family. >> reporter: but first, pence had to quiet the boos from the supporters. >> captain khan is an american hero and we honor him and honor his family as we do all the families. >> reporter: in ohio monday afternoon without provocation or context, trump suggested november's election may not be above board. >> and i'm afraid the election is going to be rigged, i have to be honest. >> reporter: and later in

chief. >> warren blasted trump as well saying he, too, had sacrificed the company by creating jobs. buffett said he and trump had created jobs and got very rich doing it. executive vice president and acquisitions of trump organization. good morning. >> good to be with you. >> your father seems to be under attack. he seems to be a lot of times 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 in this campaign. >> well, everybody told us the toughest three months of our lives will be the months after the convention. you guys aren't politicians, it's absolutely ruthless. i think we're seeing that, right? we're going to be attacked and attacked by a lot of people. >> gold star families are not

groups. these are people sacrificed -- losing a son. >> there's no question, you see anybody who dies for the nation, dies for the three of us at this table, made the ultimate sacrifice. for my father in terms of the khan family it's not about a soldier who is an amazing guy. my father said that in an interview, sounds like he's an amazing guy. that's radical terror, you see what's happening all over the country. you see orlando, san bernardino, nice. and a priest beheaded in his church the other day. my father's message is not an anti-muslim message. it's an anti-terror message. we have isis and they're running rampant around the world and we have to do something about it, quite frankly if you look at hillary -- >> there was a question do you have no decency? >> warren buffett has his own agenda. he doesn't want the keystone

pipeline to be built. one of his biggest investments is obviously railroad companies that ship oil from canada down to the u.s. of course, he's going to do anything to not have donald trump be president. my. >> when you try to explain 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 that thinks to take a different tactic? >> it's interesting. i went to every single debate. every single one of my father's debate. and i took great pride in doing that. i've gone to hundreds of his rallies. either first or second point that he always brings up is the va. and here you have hillary saying it's not bad. you have veterans dying every single day, committing suicide every single day. many of them not getting

treatment at the va. veterans first. i find that ironic. up had pat smith, the mother of one of benghazi, one of the soldiers in the benghazi, she got 70 seconds of air time. the khan family has gotten hours and hours of air time. what's ironic, hillary is the one that left hem on the roof in benghazi. it's hillary's policy in iraq -- >> one of the things, pat smith actually spoke at the republican national convention, and the channel switched to bill o'reilly. it wasn't even covered on fox. certainly that had been a mistake but it was -- >> i think the point that i'm trying to make more, it almost seems like there's a double standard between the two. hillary's policies put those people in. you could arguably say, many of their soldiers would still about live today if my father was commander in chief back then. >> your father's running mate

also voted for the iraq army. >> he spoke about that. that's not on my father. he always talked don't go into libya, don't go into iraq. it's ironic that somebody who voted for all of these things is ultimately getting credit in this situation. >> can i ask you something, going back to your father's support of veterans, as you note, we now have families of 23 fallen soldiers, gold star families, who have written letters specifically to your father and it says this, when you question a mother's pain by implying that her religion kept her from relying you are attacking us. when you say that your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice. they want an apology. would your father apologize? >> i think he has by calling them a hero. in terms of whether he's made a

sacrifice, i think my father has. no, that's not the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice is dying for this country, no doubt about it. >> is it difficult for your father to apologize? >> my father's a fighter. i think that's what this country needs is a fighter. and by the way, that's politics. you're going to get attacked. if you don't understand that -- >> who presently is wrong? >> listen, we do it respectfully, we do that back and forth as a family. i think that's the benefit of having children be part of this process? >> do you think he's wrong? >> i think this is something that's honestly blown hugely out of proportion. the khan family looked like amazing people which in that interview for whatever reason never once got reported. he calls them a hero so many different times. again, he wasn't talking -- this isn't a muslim thing.

this is an isis thing. this is isn't an anti-immigration thing. she doesn he doesn't want to see more americans dead. he sees what's happening around the country and quite frankly, he's shaking his head. >> they're telling us we have to go. but with respect to roger ailes question and with respect to ivanka, what he would advise her, would your father stick by what he said? or does he think that perhaps a better answer would be to bring it to the attention of human resources and other things we can do? >> well, there's no question, it should be addressed and it should be addressed strongly. listen, we all run a company, my father runs a company. that's absolutely no go anywhere. and ivanka is a strong, powerful woman. she wouldn't allow herself to be, you know, subjected to it. by the way, you should certainly take it up with human resources, i think she definitely would

have, a strong person. at the same time, i don't think she would allow herself to be subjected to that. i think that's a point he's taking and he did so well. >> thank you. >> to be continued. the u.s. fight against isis has led to another battlefield, american warplanes launched yesterday against targets in the libya port city of sirte. libya's government requested american air strike. isis went into libya after moammar gadhafi years ago. president obama called the aftermath probably the worst moment of his presidency. the illegal use of pesticide leads to a $90 million

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.
