major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a quick bit of context about that arizona poll number. a democrat hasn't won arizona in a presidential d only won arizona presidential election once since 1948. so statistical tie for trump there is not good news. he must steady the ship and that is to prevent more defections of republicans and reassure skittish donors. part of that is an economic speech in a few hours that will emphasize across the board tax cuts and lots of help for the fossil opposition trade deals present and pending. >> she lacks the judgment. she lacks the temperament. >> reporter: over the weekend, donald trump tried to change the subject from interparty feud back to hillary clinton. >> i've always had a great temperament. you know, i win. i have a winning temperament. the subject can't be on her, because she has been such a failure so they came up with the word temperament. >> reporter: a new poll shows more than 6 in 10 believe

>> so i may have short-circuited it. >> reporter: clinton gave a tortured explanation friday for why she mischaracterized the fbi director's comments claiming incorrectly ed she never publicly lied about her e-mails. >> director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. that's really the bottom line here. what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what i have said publicly. >> she is lying about sunday she was still parsing her word. >> she now has a fundamental way of saying to people, it wasn't that i lied to you, i just didn't quite remember whatever it was i was going to say. >> reporter: but in politics, everything is relative and a new national poll asked voters who they think is more honest, clinton or trump? she won that one by a narrow margin, dana, 49 points to 40. campaign, thank you. florida's gulf coast this

medals to their impressive collection. >> steady the ship to prevent more defections and reassure skit skittish donors. >> clinton tries to prove she, not the billionaire, will steer the economy. >> he is saying good-bye to the yankees and baseball. he will stay close and join the team next year as a special adviser and a well paid one at that. >> a lot of people wonder what he would have been if he hadn't what would the numbers have been and would he have been a hall of famer? >> bolted to third. there is one. back to second for one. to first. a triple play! three outs on one pitch! they blast it around the horn for a triple play. oh, my. announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and dana jacobson.

delta airlines says a power outage has grounded departing flights. tens of thousands of passengers around the world are in limbo. delta expects large-scale flight cancellations. >> this could affect flights in the u.s. and canada if the airline cannot fix this problem. the power outage knocked delta's computer systems off line. investigators do not yet know how a 10-year-old boy died on a kansas waterslide billed as the caleb schwab, the son of state representative scott swab lost his life yesterday. they the family were visiting the family on a special day for kansas lawmakers and their families. he was on a slide called the verruckt. adjustments reportedly had to be made to the slide's second hill after sandbag tests as you see showed rafts flying off the

and michael phelps has 23 olympic medals and 19 are gold in his collection. if you're accuser about the markings on phelps back, they are known what is cupping. a recovery method used to relieve tension in the muscles and increase blood flow but it looks kind of strange. in gymnastics the fierce five were back in action and gabby douglas did not make the cut for all-around and hoping to become the first woman in 50 years to now as for today, the sailing competition gets under way in guana barra bay. the bay is nasty and they are putting helicopters in the air to spot for trash before the sailors hit it. so good times here in rio, gayle. >> bongia, as they say. thank you. >> bongia. >> see you later on. got it. donald trump and hillary clinton are focusing on the

today. clinton had a rare moment on friday. she answered questions from preselected reporters at the national association of black and hispanic journalist convention in washington. >> clinton's last formal news conference was last december in iowa, more than 240 days ago. clinton said on friday, she might have, quote, short-circuited it for answers about her private e-mail servers but said she never lied. fbi director james comey said i clinton's e-mails, quote, bore markings that indicated the presence of classified information. >> he did say there were three e-mails that were marked classified at the time. >> is that inconsistent? >> well, here is -- here are the facts behind that as well. you know that i preside -- i sent over 30,000 e-mails to the state department that were

director comey said only 3 out of 30,000 had anything resembling classified markers. the three e-mails out of the 30,000 did not have the appropriate markings. and it was, therefore, reasonable to conclude that anyone, including myself, would have not suspected that they were classified. >> i'm from the "the washington post" and thank you for being here and i think on behalf this more often with reporters across the country. especially those news organizations that travel the country with you everywhere you go. a majority of voters consistently say, frankly, they don't like you and they don't trust you. how would you lead a nation where a majority of americans mistrust you? >> i take this seriously. don't -- you know, don't doubt that. i take it seriously.

good when people say those things and i recognize that i have work to do. but when i started running for the senate in new york, a lot of the same things were said. i won. i worked hard for the people of new york. and i was re-elected with 67% of the vote. >> cbs news contributor bob schieffer is with us, our former chief washington correspondent and former host of "face the nation." good morning. >> hey. >> speak to this question about e-mails. she still hasn't, in a sense, cleared that issue u somehow or another, stop these, yes, but apologies as it were. why doesn't she just say, look, i really made a mistake, i regret it, i would never put the nation's national security at risk. but to try to go through all of these fine points and things. >> yes, but continues the story. >> yes.

be better than a long answer in this case. i mean, she made a mistake. she has said she made a mistake and i think if she kind of would let it go at that, maybe it would put this to rest. i mean, it's not going to bury it forever because republicans are going to keep bringing it up. >> but that simple, bob? say i made a mistake, i'm sorry, i learned, i move on? >> that would be -- i mean -- >> it seems really easy. >> i'm not here with bias comments on how to run a business. but i think short answers in this case would help her. she would be better served. >> she also failed to respond -- i think i'm seeing the full conference she had there, although how limited it was. she failed to respond to the idea of having more press conferences too. she sat there and smiled but did not respond. >> i think more press conferences would be good for her and for the press. i think it's better for everybody. >> word is that donald trump is going to reset his campaign today. he is in detroit giving a speech on his economic agenda.

concerned. what concerns them most? >> well, i mean, first, he sa says -- you know, the title of donald trump's speeches are not always what donald trump's speeches are about. he could announce he is going to talk about galalo's telescope and a baby would cry and he has a way of topping his own -- his own stories. but i think in this case, we will have to wait and see what he has to say. his advisers trying to get him back on track to talk about something other than some of these ad-lib remarks that he keeps getting deeper and deeper in trouble, and this is now beginning to be reflected in these polls. >> but what about this on the other side of the aisle? a new "the washington post"/abc news poll shows trump 4% lead among independent voters. those are the voters that will help decide this election. >> that is the one bright spot because every other thing in

clinton. i mean, she is just leading everywhere. you heard major garrett this morning talking about it's very, very close in arizona. you know? how long has it been since a democrat has carried arizona? 1948, maybe? >> yeah. the land of john mccain and barry goldwater and others. >> what is the gop worried about as we sit here today? >> they are worried about now. this is very real. i spent a lot of time last week, toward the end of last week republican, kind of, quote, insiders, unquote. they are not so worried now about whether he is going to win or lose, but whether if he loses by a large enough margin in some of these key states that he takes down their senate candidates. for example, ohio, michigan, new hampshire, pennsylvania. they are saying to me, look, if he wins by eight or ten points, it will take down the republican -- >> if she wins by eight or ten

he loses by eight or ten, it will take down the senate candidates with them. they are more worried now about losing the senate now, i think, than they are about whether or not they win the white house because, i mean, they really worried. here is how serious it is. i had a former cabinet officer in a republican administration tell me last week, he was calling around and trying to get together a group to go talk to trump and not as intervention, but to say, it would be best for all concerned if you resigned from the ticket. now that is not going to happen. we know it's not going to happen, but the fact that people are talking that way just tells you how worried they are right now about this. >> bob schieffer, always good to see you. >> thank you. you in the star of "hamilton" will be here in studio 57. he became a founding father of blockbuster musical and how is

tickets. what is it? >> i think we just touched upon something that i think audiences have been waiting for so long, right? it's diversity on stage and a living history and it's something familiar to us. it's not -- it's not a fantastic story as far as something made up, right? this is our history and we are talking about something almost tangible. and that is so relevant to today, so i think all of that combined with just in the music, there you go. >> it has everything, though. >> yes. >> including a sexy hamilton! >> oh, thank you. >> sexy hamilton! >> it has power. >> it does. >> a campaign for the presidency. >> yes. >> it has war. >> yes. >> betrayal. >> betrayal. >> yes, yes. >> but think about alexander hamilton. his dad abandoned him and his mom dies and a guardian commits
