7:13 am
activities align with things like visits to certain terror hot spots, known terror threats or people who are on watch lists. actions that may raise red flags. travelers identified by the computer are analyzed and vetted by a human team. if they are what sources describe as justifiable concerns, that flyer may be surveilled by federal air marshals. that can include being followed at airports and on flights and having their behavior monitored and noted for suspicious activity. it does not include electronic surveillance. it is a program that some air marshals have been highly critical of. tsa officials say the program complies with security restraints and privately requireme requirements. the agency says the primary purpose is to ensure passengers and flight crew are protected during air travel. adding it does not take into account race and religion and it is not intended to surveil ordinary americans. flyers are removed from the list if they go a certain amount of time without incident.

7:15 am
helpful so let's try and avoid it. >> reporter: the shutdown threat was a presidential attempt at hard ball over his long-sought funding for a border wall. but the senate's republican leader, mitch mcconnell, said congress may not be able to get to that until december at the earliest. >> the funding of the border wall going to wait until after the midterm elections? >> probably, and that's something we do have a disagreement on. >> reporter: mcconnell and house speaker paul ryan met with the president last week to discuss the fall legislative agenda and the obstacles to quick funding of the wall. >> the president's willing to be patient to make sure we get what we need. border security is extremely important. >> reporter: the president's patient now appears to be wearing thiwear ing thin. though he has backed off similar threats before. >> if we don't change it, let's have a shutdown. we'll do a shutdown. and it's worth it for our country. >> reporter: that time, there was a shutdown, but it lasted just a couple hours. with the midterm elections pl s looming, republicans are hoping
7:16 am
to avoid a shutdown of any length. >> we're going to make sure we keep the government open but we're going to get better policies on immigration. >> reporter: the president has already secured about $1.5 billion in border security but he wants up to $25 billion to build the wall. democrats have signals they're open to that but only if republicans agree to protect the daca population, those so-called dreamers. and so far, anthony, congress has been unable to find a compromise and now the house is gone for five weeks. president trump launched a personal attack against special counsel mueller in a series of tweets. he tweeted yesterday, quote, we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship. i turned him down to be head of the fbi one day before appointment as special counsel and comey is his close friend. it's unclear what business relationship the president is referring to. this comes amyseid reports that

african-american men and women >> jenner, george zimmerman recently was charged with stalking the private investigator that you hired, right? that's part of this story. tell us about that. >> well, i think there's an ongoing investigation so i can't say too much. what i can say is it was alarming how unhinged this person is, and the fact he is permitted to carry several firearms, shotguns, assault rifles and walk around with a bulletproof vest after it's been proven he killed an unarmed 17-year-old young man and also has abused several women who went to the police reporting those crimes. so what we found was extremely alarming, and i don't think -- i think it's not surprising that he turned on dennis warren and our producer and started
8:37 am
stalking them. >> we did reach out to george zimmerman for comment but didn't receive an answer. tracy, it cannot be easy for you to relive all this. what made you really want to go through with this project? >> well, we feel as though as parents, we felt as though the story was watered down that was being told about trayvon, who he truly was and the perception that he was a thug. this was a 17-year-old unarmed child on his way from the store going home, had nothing to do with him being a thug and had everything to do with racial profiling. so we felt as parents we needed to tell the story of who trayvon truly was. >> this documentary also draws a direct line between trayvon's killing and the rise of white nationalism and race-based violence in america. plot some of that out for us. >> well, trayvon martin's death
8:38 am
gave birth to black lives matter. the verdict was when the hashtag was created. so we chronicled the birth of black lives mattered all the way to the white lash, the opposite side reaction to that. so we go from trayvon to trump and we see the connective tissue to the last six years and how our political landscape has thrown into a mass chaos today. >> you talk about political landscape, voting, there's an election in november. for people outraged by this, violence that shows no sign of abating, what should they do? what should they think about in november. >> in november we think about putting people in place that are willing to listen and take action on social injustices na are occurring across this country. we can't sit back and let another term go by without going out, putting people in place that will make a change. >> some of that change you want to see legislative change?
8:39 am
stand your ground at the heart of trayvon martin, markeis mcglockton. tell us about that. >> the hope with a series like this, it can be a teaching tool. people can watch it. if they are affected by it, if what they see they feel is wrong they can use their civic duty of voting to change the story. stand your ground, it's very unfortunate the law was passed to begin with, but it's in over 20 states across this country. look at what's just happened to markeis mcglockton, look at what happened to trayvon martin. if you believe that was wrong, if you believe people should not have the right to kill because they say they are afraid, which is a very subjective term and has a lot of racial undertones, you shoud hold your politicians responsible. this november you should vote those out of office that disagree. >> trayvon martin's martin's life may be over but his story goes on. tracy martin, jenner furs and jenna willoughby mason, thank you so much.
