you, deplorable. >> reporter: now, the clinton campaign and clinton herself apologized. the next day, she said, quote, last night, i was grossly generalistic. that's never a good idea. i regret saying half. that was wrong. this is something the trump campaign is going to hone on this week. trump has called this very insulting and saying this will affect clinton in the polls. >> the trump campaign is likening this to something t >> reporter: that's right. donald trump is calling this clinton's 47% moment. you'll remember that's that big gaffe mitt romney had in the 2012 campaign when he compared 47% of america saying they were dependent on government and they all felt like victims. people thought that cost romney the election. >> let's bring if jon karl and get more. let's start with the deplorable comment. you heard what donald trump is

7:13 am
you all are not covering the other side. >> it's a good point. donald trump had a letter from his doctor. a doctor not necessarily qualified to make the assessment. it was frankly a joke of a letter. it said he would be the most healthy robust president we have ever had. he's not submitted to this. he would be the oldest newly elected president in american history. this is about her. what happened yesterday is about her. >> no question. >> and thank you martha and rich. the t ball against the zika virus making headlines. miami beach's mayor warns the threat the growing. residents are concerned about the chemicals used to fight mosquitos. gio benitez is on the scene. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning to you. i gotta tell you some residents are furious. they worry this spray is toxic. in fact in parts of south

7:43 am
had almost complete autonomy to do what he wanted there. and she made comment after comment after comment supporting him, not just saying something like, you know what, i worked with him. he was always professional. i never saw anything like that. she went much further than that in her comments. it's a little bit tough for her to have it both ways. if she does end up in litigation with fox, a lot of the old statements will come back to haunt her. >> isn't her husband a >> he is. a prominent lawyer. i think he's probably leading the charge on the legal front. >> thank you, dan. now to the concerning new report about parents' medical mistakes. the american academy of pediatrics putting 2100 parents to the test. finding more than 80% of them made at least one dosing error measuring liquid medication. jen, when you see these numbers,
7:44 am
to an overdose. this is startling information. >> absolutely, robin. and here's the actual study. it occurred in the premier journal of pediatrics. we have heard there are issues with dosing. particularly liquid medications for kids because they come mostly in that liquid form. so this studty really sought to further define the labeling and the the dosing. and to some extent do parents understand decimal points and million -- million litters. 68% made overdosing errors. this is a wakeup call. this could be a life or death situation. >> what can parents do to get it right? >> i think the first thing, ask, ask, ask, ask your pediatrician.

7:46 am
no rout notificationotification. and the major, bill peduto saying you can put up red tape or roll out the red carpet. i think this is worth hitting the brax. this is not 100 robotic cars roaming mis iing pittsburgh. >> who things this is a good idea? >> not for me. >> i mean, i have had -- >> you have to, you're our tech person. >> for some of them, i'm perfectly happy to have no driver at all. >> i'm too much of a control freak. >> i would get behind the wheel. >> most of them have been good. >> your rating just went down. >> thank you to our insiders. coming up, there she is. miss america. arkansas' savvy shield. the thing that has everyone talking. the judges. we'll tell you why in just two minutes. come on back. pro golfer. ,
