2-year-old son while playing pokemon go. it's a busy tuesday. "early today" starts right now. thanks for joining us today. i'm betty nguyen. one of the world's most successful investors and a hillary clinton supporter has issued a major challenge to donald trump. warren buffet threw down the gauntlet of trump's yet to be released tax returns. >> you will learn a whole lot more about donald trump if he produces his income tax and so that's why i'd like to make him an offer. an offer i hope he can't refuse. can't release it because he's under audit. now, i've got news for him. i'm under audit too. and i would be delighted to meet him any place, any time between now and election, i'll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax

us. it is not -- there are no rules against showing your tax returns and just let people ask us questions about the items that are on there. >> buffet also hit the republican nominee hard on his very public feud with the gold star parents of a muslim american soldier killed in iraq. he went back to a statement directed at senator joe mccartney back in 1954. >> i ask donald no sense of decency sir? >> now, the khans themselves boek to lawrence o'donnell last night firing back on trump's claims that he has sacrificed in his business endeavors. >> if you asked him if he went to arlington cemetery, his answer would be i have built hotels, i have built casinos. i have filed bankruptcies, i have built big buildings. i have employed this.

mosquito that spreads the zika virus has proved to be a worthy adversary, possibly immune to insecticide or hiding in standing water in the area. >> what we're looking at carefully is is it expanding? is there a place beyond this one-mile radius that needs to be looked at? right now that one-mile radius already is quite a buffer zone beyond the concentrated area at the center of it where there's been transmission. >> now, the cdc recommends that pregnant women who have been in that area go check with their doctor. also folks expecting to become pregnant who have been in that area should wait at least eight weeks before trying to get pregnant. the cdc says you can avoid the area altogether or use mosquito repellent. >> important information there. thank you so much. an arizona couple has been arrested after abandoning their two-year-old son so they could play pokemon go.
