this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off. so dana jacobson joins us. donald trump faces a new barrage of criticism for something he said. this time, it was an apparent off-hand comment during a campaign rally in north carolina. >> hillary wants to essentially abolish the second amendment. by the way, if she gets to pick -- if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is. i don't know. but -- >> democrats and other critics are quickly accusing trump of inciting violence against hillary clinton. >> now the trump campaign insists his words were being twisted. major garrett is in fayetteville, north carolina now, where the republican

comment behind him last night. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump denied his comments, hinted at, implied a threat against hillary clinton, the supreme court or anyone on the federal judiciary. an enthusiastic trump supporters acknowledge trump blew it and said, once again, he has to be more careful. >> there could be no other interpretation. even reporters have told me. gym insisted his comments were not a threat but a call to take political action to stop hillary clinton. >> hillary wants to take your guns away. she wants to leave you unprotected in your home. >> reporter: the national rifle association defended the gop nominee on twitter, alleging clinton's calls for gun control will undermine constitutional rights. >> the second amendment people have tremendous power because they are so unite. >> i've seen statements from democrats so far who have

>> oh, no, no. this is political power. >> reporter: at an afternoon rally in fayetteville, new york city mayor rudy giuliani felt a need to clarify. >> and then he said, you have the power to do something about it and what he meant by that was you have the power to vote against her. >> reporter: even before his latest questionable comments, a rash of gop security professionals announced fears of a trump presidency coulde >> these people are not the kind of people we want. these are people that have given us a messed up world. >> reporter: fresh off his primary win in wisconsin, house speaker paul ryan refused to comment on the latest trump firestorm. >> it sounds like just a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up very quickly. >> reporter: and continued to stand by his party's nominee. >> we will find far better receptivity of our agenda that we are trying to get on track to fix this country's problems than

>> reporter: in a move without precedent, the united states secret service acknowledged it was aware of trump's comments about clinton. the agency released this tweet, saying, they are aware of the comments which some perceive, dana, as a threat from one major party nominee against another. >> major, thank you. a poll just released this morning, shows nearly 1 out of 5 republican voters want trump to quit the race. the poll was taken before this latest controversy. nancy cordes is covering the clinton campaign, amendment comment to help with fund-raising. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the clinton campaign says trump's comments demonstrate why more and more top republicans are defecting to their side every day. in fact, they are unveiling a new evident today to put those republicans to work, recruiting others. >> secretary clinton, any reaction to donald trump's comments about the second amendment of you today? >> reporter: in florida, clinton ignored the uproar but her

>> i really, franklin, couldn't believe he said it. >> reporter: tim kaine said trump's comments is a man who is unfit to lead. other democrats came down even harder. senator elizabeth warren tweeted, trump makes death threats because he is a pathetic coward who can't handle the fact that he is losing to a girl. former congresswoman gabby giffords said the following. >> get him out of here. throw him out! >> reporter: the clinton campaign argued trump's rhetoric should not come as a surprise to anyone who has watched his rallies. >> i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell you. knock the crap out of him, would you? seriously. okay? just knock the hell -- i promise you, i will pay for the legal fees, i promise. i promise. i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody

an american and global security. >> reporter: former cia director michael hayden is a republican who is not swayed by the trump campaign's explanation. >> if someone else had said that outside the hall, he would be in the back of a police wagon now with the secret service questioning him. >> reporter: today, the clinton campaign is announcing a new coalition of nearly 50 top republicans and independents backing clinton who will fund-raise, campaign in battleground states, and contact voters. cabinet secretaries, six former ambassadors, and six current or former members of congress, including some who haven't come forward for clinton before including connecticut's chris shays who said, quote, donald trump represents praecket everything i was taught not to be and taught our daughter not to be. >> nancy, you know, hillary clinton is facing a series of new questions about her e-mails.

between the clinton foundation when she was secretary of state. how is the clinton campaign responding to that today? >> the clinton campaign has always denied any foundation donors received any special treatment, because she was secretary of state. but, now, this batch of new e-mails obtained by judicial watch includes a few e-mails exchanged between huma abedin and doug band who led the clinton's foundation global initiatives. in one with exchange, abedin requested a favor for someone who seemed to be looking for a job. in another, band asked abedin to connect a liberty knees billionaire who is one of the top donors of the foundation with someone in lebanon. abedin said she would give him a call. the clinton campaign says she's e-mails did not involve secretary clinton herself or the

capacity as an aide to former president clinton and not as a foundation official. >> thanks, nancy. dan senor was a senior adviser to the romney campaign in 2012. >> good to be with you. >> first, a controversy with the second amendment and donald trump. do you take him at his word he was simply talking about political power? >> no. i've watched it probably 20 times. the best you can say, if you really want to give him joking about a subject that you shouldn't be joking about. which is about inciting violence, particularly insetting violence particularly someone under secret service protection and particularly for secret service putting out a statement saying they are aware of his comments. >> do you believe his words should lead you to say he was inciting violence? >> well it had the effect of inciting violence and i'm not sure his intention but the effect of inciting violence. he has a pattern.

kelly and judge curiel and encouraging russians to hack and get hillary clinton's e-mails and the wisconsin primary what he said about abortions and about the physically disabled reporter from "the new york times," what ed, after each one of these incidents, i didn't mean that. give me the benefit of the doubt and it was taken out of context and it's misinterpreted. if you have a pattern where you constantly say things that are highly divisive and and provocative so much so you have to clean it up one would think you would be more cautious with your words. when you're talking about the second amendment and something that could elude to violence against a high profile political figure under secret service protection, you choose your words carefully. he did not do that which is just another example, for me and other leaders within the republican party, that he is extremely reckless. >> let's talk about the leaders a second. paul ryan who won big last

win in washington he called it a bad joke gone bad. do you think the leadership is worried in the republican party? because when you talk to the trump campaign, they sort of have a "mad" magazine out, me worry? do you think the leadership is worried? >> the leadership of the party is actually worried. the real clear average poll, the sort of average of polls has hillary clinton up right now nationally by 7.5 points. twice as high as barack obama was at this point against john mccain in 2008 and mitt romney in 2012. that is nationally. she is even ahead in states that republicans have won in previous presidential elections. she is competitive in georgia and north carolina and arizona. if she wins those states and wins florida and ohio, she could best barack obama's electorate

this could be a trounce. >> we still got time, though, dan. >> you could say that is an outlier and it won't affect the races. i'm dubious. if hillary clinton gets, you know, 350 to 400 electorate college votes, it means the senate is highly unlikely to keep senate majority hands and i think it poseses a real threat to the house majority. >> do the release of the e-mails threaten her? this is the thing many people say there may be there something inms of connection at the state department? >> what is amazing to me there is so much material to mind, vis-a-vis hillary clinton. these e-mails, again, are so damaging. it's no wonder that her untrust worthy numbers and unfavorable numbers are so high. in any other election with any other republican running with someone with this story and these numbers, they would be trouncing her. because the republicans nominated donald trump, she is able to lead even with this kind of baggage. >> once again, his headline sort

>> right. >> dan, appreciate it. >> a woman in florida was shot and killed by a police officer in a class about police procedures. the chief called the death of 73-year-old mary knowlton a horrible accident and it happened in punta gorda, about 70 miles south of tampa. david begnaud is there with the investigation. >> reporter: good morning. the entire police department is surrounding behind me. a blue tent on the back property of theic 73-year-old lady was shot and killed in what is being described as a horrible accident. here is how the scenario usually goes. the officer plays the bad guy. the civilian plays the officer. in this case, the 73-year-old lady walked up to what was believed to be the bad guy, the officer, and he shot her. he should have been using blank round, but, instead, he had live ammo in his weapon. it happened just before 7:00

gorda public safety complex. mary knowlton was about 75 people taking part in the city's eight-week citizen police academy. >> who participants were randomly selected to put through a shoot, don't shoot scenario and they would make decision on using simulated lethal force in a live role play. during the first scenario, in a horrible accident, participant mary knowlton was mistakenly struck with a live round. >> repor t was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. her son gave a statement to cbs news saying, quote, this is a devastating time for us. my mom was a saint. such a tremendous loss of a wonderful human being and the best mom a kid could ever hope for. >> our entire police department and all of our city leader are absolutely devastated for everyone involved in this unimaginable event. >> reporter: knowlton was reportedly shot several times, according to a photographer who

she was active in the punta gorda community and volunteering as a board member for a local library group. >> everyone involved is in a state of overwhelming shock and grief. >> reporter: the officer who fired those live rounds is on paid administrative leave this morning. one of the questions people want to know is why was a real gun being used in a fake situation? gayle, i have to tell you in speaking with the police spokeswoman revealed a community and a woman was known for the police department and the police chief knew her personally. >> you raise a good question. what was a live gun doing there? thank you, david. thousands of delta airline passengers face a third day of delays and cancellations after the carrier's computerer meltdown. the airline is still scrambling to rebook flights two days after

delta expects to cancel 90 flights today and cancelled almost 800 on tuesday and 1,000 on monday. at the rio olympics, it was another day of historic wins for american athletes. michael phelps, the greatest olympic swimmer ever, added two more gold medals to his tally last night. and rising tar katie ledecky won her second gold in the pool in brazil. in wen team wiped out the field. ben tracy is in rio de janeiro with the highlights. bon gia, ben. >> reporter: dreary here in rio this morning but we found the official olympic cauldron. if you want to see something that is really on fire, look no further than team usa, both in

do the talking. like he always has. the 31-year-old five-time olympian proved he still has plenty of gas in the tank, snatching gold in the 200 butterfly. not even a scramble to replace a ripped swim cap would derail phelps. but bringing home gold in the 4x200 freestyle relay. despite his record setting gold medal hall, which now stand at 21, michael phelps led let the emotion of what will likely be his final olympics show, taking to the crowd to embrace his infant son and family. >> it's a race. ledecky! >> reporter: the future of american swimming? that might be katie ledecky. the 19-year-old phenom from maryland won her second rio gold, this time in the 200-meter

and on the mat, the americans grabbed yet another gold with the women's gymnastics team putting on a cling led by 19-year-old simone biles. it was a total team effort. >> beautiful. >> reporter: with douglas and koshaun on the bars and raisman on the vault. the final five as they call themselves, crushed the competition winning the team title by a staggering eight this is what the olympic diving pool looked like yesterday. yes, that is green water and not supposed to look like that. this is what it should look like. crystal blue waters. official in rio don't know why this has happened and the olympic divers say they are keeping their mouths closed. back to you guys. >> yeah, that a little scary looking. thank you very much, ben. go, usa. a hungarian swimmer just won her third gold medal so why was

some olympic champions are not treated qaequalequally. >> reporter: here in rio, american women are in equal standing with men in terms of medals won, but despite performances on par with their male counterpart, many believe female athletes are not getting the credit they rightfully deserve. when hungarian swimmer set a new world record and won her first fell on her husband and coach chain tuso. >> there is the guy responsible for turning his wife into a whole different swimmer. >> reporter: the remark lit up a firestorm on social media. on twitter, users called the commentator's remarks offensive saying it was the wife who smashed a world record but her husband is the one who is responsible for it ?

this is the first time they blocked ads that they have gone against the ad blocks. why is that? >> i don't know exactly why facebook has waited until now. they are dependent on advertising revenue the fact they are trying to counter the add ad blockers is surprising. you look at their recent fcc filings they have put in they are afraid that it is a threat to their business. the reason they are acting now presumably is, a, it's a big enough threat and enough users are using it they are losing substantial and, b, they think they can win. a the ad blocking companies come back and change their code to make the ads disappear again. facebook thinks they are figured it out and can win. >> how do they do this? >> what they are doing on facebook is they basically feed the ads in the content on to the page in exactly the same way. the way ads software usually works it scans all of the stuff on a page and says that is an ad, that is a story. block the ad. facebook will strip away the identifying information from the

way. then the ad blockers can't tell% that is their strategy but the ad blocking teams say we will figure it out. >> the interesting point here is that the great contribution to facebook growth has come from ads on mobile devices? >> right. this is actually only on desktop. they are not worried about ad blocking software on mobile devices. this is just on desktops. one of the most interesting things that will happen now the war between publishers and ad supported websites and ad blocking software has been going on a while, right? so "wired" magazine say you can't access their site if you use an ad blocker. a battle is going on. now facebook has joined the side of the publishers which could change the dynamic of it. >> what about consumers who are tired of the ads? what about that? >> it's not hostility to the business model of publishers. ad cover the whole screen and

>> can't they both coexist and everybody would be happy? >> this is ideal world. the ads are ad-friendly ads and users are happy. in a magazine, a lot of people actually like the ads. they add something to it. what advertisers, if they did that you probably wouldn't have ad blocker software. so possibly facebook will move us in that direction. >> advertisers will make better ad better pages or we will have a nasty mess. >> one or the other. thank you, nick. hackers could find a cheap way to influence the presidential election. all they need is a simple device like a card reared. reader. >> how much does that cost? >> $15. >> for $15 i can cast a vote? >> for $15 and end up knowledge of the card, united kingdom hack the vote.

manipulation. >> reporter: how big of a hacking potential problem is this? >> well, there's a huge potential. there are so many places in the voting process once it goes electronic that is vulnerable. >> reporter: according to a report from the branden center for justice, one reason these voting systems are to vulnerable is their age. >> with found more than 40 states are using voting machines are at least ten years old. >> our system is as secure as we can possibly make it. the lack of funding keeps most precincts from updating their systems, but all machines have to meet specific government standard. >> the idea of a national hack of some sort is almost ridiculous because there is no national system. >> reporter: in fact, the more than 9,000 voting districts across the country all have different ways of running their elections down to the type of machine they use. merle says there are checks in place to prevent fraud.

they are tested, both before and after. there are paper trails everywhere. by and large, i would say the american election system works very well. >> reporter: cbs learned only 60 percent of states can have paper trails but not states have paper records. in swing states like virginia and pennsylvania, which experts say could be devastating. the election shins commission told us they say all systems are tested against security standards and that systems verdict by the eac are not connected to the internet. >> less than a hundred days, we are going to the polls. thank you very much. good to see you. ahead, are insect repellants that use deet safe to use in the fight against zika? a veil of dust engulfs a city and how tens of thousands
