3:41 am
>> look, i mean this is not, mr. khan, mr. trump and all of us, give him our sympathy and loss of his son. that was a real tragedy. the issue is not mr. khan and donald trump. the issue really its -- you know, radical islamic jihad, and the risk to the american homeland. that's the issue. all of the lives lost in the war over there are tragedy and we all are sorry for it. but what mr. trump has talked about. what really should be the discuser we protect our homeland from refugees coming in from areas that are unsafe. and mr. trumpppp has made it very clear for months he believes there need to be a temporary suspension from the areas until we can have a system that can process it. that's the issue. and the second part, is to remember all the lives lost needlessly were lost because of a war that didn't have to be. the iraq situation, when

3:44 am
hillary clinton didn't talk about patricia smith or in the way mr. trump talked about mrs. khan. that would be the distinction. mr. trump was asked about mr. khan. he didn't raise mr. khan. the point mr. trump continues to focus on is, we need to focus on protecting our homeland security. that's the issue. not the tragedy of the khan family. >> parents who lose children, serving in the military, are referred to as gold star parents. we'll take a deeper look when we return. you are watching the "cbs overnight news." let's feed him to the sharks! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. squuuuack, it's what you do.
