"When Khizr Khan spoke at the Democratic convention, few predicted the firestorm of controversy he would ignite. Mr. Khan came to the USA in 1980 to attend Harvard Law School. Born in Pakistan, he took a path similar to millions of other legal immigrants. In 2004 Captain Humayun Khan, the middle son of the Khans, was killed fighting in Iraq. He received the Bronze Star and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. After Donald Trump said Muslim refugees from countries with terror chaos should be banned, at least temporarily, Khizr Khan criticized Trump online while mentioning his son's heroism. The Clinton campaign took it from there, making sure Mr. Khan was given a platform at the convention. The Republican Party did the same thing with Pat Smith, who directly blames Hillary Clinton for her son's death in Benghazi. Mr. Khan's point of view received 50 times more coverage from the establishment media than Ms. Smith's, but that is because Donald Trump criticized Mr. Khan and his wife while Hillary Clinton did not directly confront Ms. Smith. Lesson number one for Mr. Trump: Commenting on regular folks is fraught with danger, no matter what they say. Trump pointed out that Mrs. Khan said nothing and that might have been because of how some Muslims see women. That was enough to start a media frenzy. Lesson number two: Any reference to a minority is also fraught with danger. All powerful people have to know that calling people out has to be done surgically. If a family has lost a son fighting for America, you simply cannot hit them with a broadside no matter what they say. Final lesson: Trump's only chance at winning is to stay on point, that America is in decline and he can fix that. If he fights everyone who comes after him, he'll lose. And believe me, the Democrats are lining up legions to come after him."

The Factor asked Donald Trump to respond to President Obama's declaration that he is 'woefully unprepared' for the presidency. "He's the worst president in history," Trump said. "This so-called recovery is setting record lows and I believe I know far more about foreign policy than he knows. He talks about Ukraine and how tough he is with Russia, but they took over Crimea under his leadership. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we actually got along with Russia and worked out a deal where we go in and knock the hell out of ISIS? Hillary Clinton has the potential to be even worse, look at the lies she told over the weekend about the FBI director." Trump turned to his criticism of the Khan family. "I was viciously attacked on the stage of the convention by Mr. Khan and I responded. The press took it and made it a big deal, but don't I have the right to respond?" The Factor advised Trump to exercise a modicum of restraint: "It wasn't wise for you to bring in the mother, it gave them the chance to hammer you. If you want to beat me up that's fine, but you can't go after a Muslim woman who lost a son."

Returning for a second segment, Donald Trump defended his concern that the presidential election may be 'rigged.' "Court decisions are coming down," he stated, "saying you don't need voter ID to vote. It's a little scary, maybe people are going to go in and vote ten times, and I hope the Republicans will be very watchful." Trump also commented on his feud with some GOP senators, among them John McCain. "I've never been a big fan of John McCain, I hate the way our veterans have been treated by McCain and others. He should have taken up that issue." Finally, Trump replied to the assertion that he is temperamentally unfit to be president. "My whole life has been about handling pressure and I have a great temperament for winning. She's a loser and her whole campaign is about temperament. What I've done my whole life is win!"

For reaction to the interview with Donald Trump, The Factor turned to Democrat and FNC analyst Kirsten Powers. "When Donald Trump talks about this controversy over Mr. Khan and his wife," she began, "he seems confused as to why people are paying so much attention to what he said. The big deal about this is that he's running for president and people care about what he says! He is not a victim here, it's not that his words are being twisted. Even Republicans are coming out and criticizing him. Even when you told him he went too far and he probably knows that, why can't he sustain that?"

The Obama administration and Hillary Clinton welcome refugees from Syria and other war-torn areas. Legal aces Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl explained the vetting process refugees go through. "We took in 20,000 refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria last year," Wiehl reported. "The process starts when the United Nations looks through the applications, then gives our State Department about 1% of all those who apply. It's a nine-step process and these are people who would be persecuted the most." Guilfoyle added that U.S. officials try to expedite the process. "The State Department and United Nations have representatives and facilities where people can submit paperwork. They try to assist with the process to make sure it is easy and not cumbersome. The State Department is ultimately in charge to make sure no one is a terror threat."

The group Black Lives Matter has issued a set of demands, including reparations for slavery and 'economic justice by collective ownership.' Charles Krauthammer mocked the group's manifesto. "This is kind pathetic," he said, "and it looks like a list that was put together because they've been criticized for being all negative. It is a mishmash of 60s new-left clichés and black nationalist clichés with some bones thrown to limousine liberals for things like 'climate change.' This is as unoriginal as you can get!" The Factor groused, "The mainstream media have empowered this group and portrayed them as noble crusaders for justice."

Jesse Watters and Bernard McGuirk watched footage of a 67-year-old veteran's confrontation with youngsters who were playing Pokemon Go in a cemetery. "Maybe he overreacted," McGuirk conceded, "but this was a Vietnam vet against a bunch of pampered ingrates. These kids are the ones with PTSD - 'Pokeman Twit Stupidity Disorder.'" Watters opined on the photo showing Donald Trump dining on KFC chicken aboard his jet. "I was wondering what voting bloc is he trying to appeal to, then I realized it's Sanders supporters because he has the Colonel Sanders right there. Now we know why Chris Christie has been hanging around the jet!"

Evelyn Marnell, Norwood, NJ: "I am sorry the Khans lost their son. I am also sorry Mr. Trump fell for that canned speech of Mr. Khan's who just happened to have a copy of the Constitution on him."

Rebecca Kallaher, Kingwood, TX: "Patricia Smith and Khizr Khan gave the best speeches at the convention. But they were both used as political pawns."

Laura Sabban, Mt. Laurel, NJ: "O'Reilly, brilliant and fair Talking Points about Hillary Clinton and President Obama. You provided hard facts and avoided polarizing rhetoric."

Tim Waterer, Sydney, Australia: "I am truly befuddled as to why those on the American left bend over backwards to support Islam. That culture often disparages women and gays."

When hit with a verbal insult, there are two ways to disarm the rude person on the other end: Say nothing at all, or tell them, "You're absolutely right" before walking away.
