7:04 am
what trump is saying is dangerous. a person seeking to be the president of the united states should not suggest violence in any way." the campaign also dealing with their own problems. trying to explain how seddique mateen, the father of the orlando shooting omar mateen ended up behind clinton in her ramally in central florida where she was speaking about the tragedy at the pulse >> we can't ever let that kind of hatred and violence break the spirit, break the soul of anyplace in america. >> reporter: mateen telling west palm beach station wptv he was invited. >> it's a democratic party. so everybody can join. >> reporter: clinton aides will only say this individual wasn't invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event. and now the clinton campaign dealing with another e-mail controversy.
7:05 am
what appears to be a clinton foundation staffer asking for favors from the state department when clinton was secretary recommending they hire someone. the trump campaign citing this as more evidence clinton ran a, quote, corrupt office. the clinton campaign saying neither of these involve the secretary or relate to the foundation's work. now, house speaker paul ryan who won his primary race yesterday in wisniewski was asked about trump's second amendment comments and hillary clinton. he says he didn't hear the exact comments but was aware of it and says it sounded like a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up very quickly. george. >> okay, tom, thanks. one of donald trump's top supporters. rudy giuliani. hi. >> thanks, george. >> you heard the speaker saying this is a joke gone bad. apologize. >> well, first of all, i was there and i'd like people at home to kind of get an idea what happened in the presidential campaign.
7:06 am
he never used -- >> he was talking about after the election. >> he was talking about the election in general. he wasn't talking about after the election. you know how speeches go. he was talking about how they have the power to keep her out of office. that's what he was talking about. that is what -- >> jem but specifically he was talking about he can't do anything after the election except the second amendment people. >> we know donald trump is not particularly indirect. if donald trump was going to say something like that he would say somethli realize that the first time that any of us had any idea that that is way it was interpreted is when the clinton spin machine interpreted it that way, spun it out to a press that is willing to hit him every day, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. >> but in realtime you had people like michael hayden raising the same question. >> it wasn't in realtime. the clinton spin machine spun it out in eight minute, bam, like
7:07 am
simple, that he should vote against her. with a crowd like that if that's what they thought he meant -- >> we did see that one guy -- >> which brings me to the guy behind hillary clinton who is the father of a person who killed 49 people who wounded 53 people, ends up being invited to sit in a prime position behind hillary clinton and you got to ask yourself, number one, who invited him? we still don't know and, number two, wt him and disavowed -- >> why is he such a big supporter holding up a sign about how great a president she would be. he supports the taliban. he is anti-american who himself has supported terrorist organizations who has said that god is going to punish homosexuals. he is a homophobe of the worst kind and he is a very, very
7:08 am
clinton? people should ask that question. what brings him to hillary clinton? i believe it's her soft stance on islamic extremist terrorism, which he and -- which she and the president have had since the president has been in office. >> he shows up at her rally. she disavows that supporters. you have 50 national security officials in the republican administration say they cannot support donald trump because he lacks self-control. would be the most reckless president in american history including strongly in the past. michael chertoff, tom ridge, former homeland security secretary, these are not democrats. these are not clinton supporters. these people are worried about donald trump. >> well, first of all, there are some of them that i respect a lot and they're good friends of mine and will remain good friends of mine but i have a disagreement with them. they don't know donald trump the way i do. i've known him for 28 years. i know he is a responsible man, successful man who achieved a great deal and can be trusted
7:09 am
who has found to be extremely careless with the use of national security information, extremely careless is like, oh, gosh, the kindest way you could say it. e-mail after e-mail is spilling out one after another after another and we still have 30,000 that she destroyed. now, and -- what i suspected is true. what i suspected is that she destroyed a lot of those e-mails because it shows a connection between hillary clinton as secretary of state and the money being raised and bill clinton speaking fees. >> doesn't donald trump have to get more careful with his words if you want to get that message out. >> no, you have to stop misinterpreting and stop putting words in his mouth that he didn't say, that he didn't mean. i drove from that venue to the plane, got on the plane, i was with him all throughout. he had no idea that anybody would interpret his words that way, that is not the way he meant it. it was a big surprise. my first reaction when i heard the call was, oh, this will go away in a minute.

cc1 test message time now for our big board. a team of insiders standing by for more. we got dan abrams here for the first story and it's all about steven avery. some dramatic new allegations about this man convicted of murder at the center of the true crime series "making a murderer" speaking out to "in touch" magazine as he prepares for an appeal arguing the lawyers who came to his aid may be
7:39 am
jail. take a look. >> they didn't do their job. you know, they were looking out for the state and just like most lawyers do they look out for the state instead of for their client. you know if they would do more investigating on the case, they would find all of this stuff. everything is there. they did their job. i wouldn't be here. >> now, dan, that is grounds for an appeal if he can prove it. >> except it's not true. he actually had really good representation. i think he's b getting advice from someone about adnan ziad, the serial defendant who had trouble with his lawyers. steven avery had strong lawyers who represented him vigorously and they couldn't win the case. but for him to blame them now i think is a mistake and his lawyers are sort of issuing a statement to us sort of sadly saying that they think he's mistaken but they can understand considering that he's been
7:40 am
"in touch," he said once the truth comes out i think they'll regret what they all said about me. he's 1,000% confident he'll be released so how likely -- i don't think i need to ask this, it's probably not happening. >> not likely. his new lawyer is a terrific lawyer named kathleen zellner and hinting she has new evidence that's going to release him and it sounds like that's empowering and from my perspective, i think it's very unlikely steven avery will be released in connection with this case. >> all right, all right, thank you, dang. switching gears now, well, actually first let me tell you the entire interview with steven avery is in "in touch" magazine on newsstands now and move on to this other case raising questions about restaurant responsibility. a waiter allegedly server a diner food that he already told him he was allergic to sends
7:41 am
charges for it. we have rebecca jarvis with us to talk about it. rebecca, this is the first case of its kind in canada. what happened and what kind of charges could the waiter face. >> this is unbelievable, lara. think about this, imagine this, you go into a restaurant for a nice meal. you tell your waiter not once but twice you have a life-threatening allergy to seafood. that's what happened that cording to this diner at le tapageur. t bat he had a seafood allergy and when he ordered he told the waiter again but still seafood showed up on his plate. the problem is he didn't know it. he ate the food and went into cardiac arrest. ended up in the hospital for five case and now looks like this waiter could face some criminal negligence charges. that's exactly what they're talking about in canada right now. the authorities are pushing for that. >> here's what the chef and owner said, quote, nobody wants to make somebody feel uncomfortable in their
7:42 am
measures to protect ourselves so what kind of measures will they have to make? >> the restaurant industry, you're already seeing this. you sit down at a restaurant nowadays. a lot of the time you will be asked right off the bat what kind of allergies. what are the food allergies of everyone at this table and you see it on packaging. when you open up a box of chips, in the back a lot of times this says this was prepared in a facility that includes nuts. a lot of about this and this especially if it goes to trial will be a bigger concern for businesses going forward. >> i think every restaurant in new york asks the question. >> he was arrested? still, you can understand why the restaurant might get sued, et cetera. but you would hope that if he was arrested for this, that the authorities believe there was some sort of intentional conduct. meaning i would think that the authorities believe that he did it on purpose in some way, shape or form. just criminal negligence meaning
7:43 am
