Hallie jackson in winters, california to start us off, thanks. Ever since the 9 11 attacks, its another attack by al qaeda were conditioned to fear most but the head of the fbi reminded us how much times and circumstances have changed, saying that isis poses a bigger terrorist threat in this country than al qaeda. The face younger and sights set on staging attacks on the American Home front. We get more on this from kristen welker. Reporter this video is the latest in a series of dozens distributed by isis online some featuring children as the group steps up the campaign to target teenagers and young adults. It comes on the heels of a stark admission by the fbi director. Isis poses a larger threat to the u. S. Than al qaeda. Isil is not your parents al qaeda. Its a very different model and by virtue its the threat that were worrying about in the homeland most of all. Reporter words under score a growing concern that isis wants followers to carry out attacks in the u. S. The fbi arrested 56 people in the past year and a half for isis irnnspired plots. Jay johnson acknowledged a weakness the u. S. Is lagging to counter isis on social media. I believe that message is being developed, but it needs a broader platform. Reporter unlike al qaeda that is secretive, isis wannabes can send direct messages that monitors computers 24 hours a day. Isil is buzz ping on your hip. That message is being pushed all long. Reporter counterterrorism experts says the u. S. Needs to do a better job discouraging young people from buying the radical message. There is no doubt that countering extremist messages whether al qaeda or isis has been for the past 14 years the weakest link in the u. S. Governments counter tes ris m argue noil. Reporter they arrested nearly a dozen radicalized americans including some of those who were planning attacks during the july 4th holiday. Lester . Quite a reality check. Thank you. One week since that shooting rampage in tennessee took the lives of five servicemen were witnessing a remarkable response. Americans answering a question to duty.

Reporter brown says he knew the gunman and now he knows he wants to serve. Once i saw the news it was 100 im ready to go as quick as possible. Reporter recruiters say one week after the shooting the numbers are up. Today danny cross signing his paperwork for the army. Tomorrow brother ben, a family man will also enlist. Here they honor the the fallen in more ways than one. Today the body of marine corps skip wells. In chattanooga five bells for the victims, a moment of silence and resolve to go on. Tomorrow just outside of chattanooga, they will pause again, the first of those five funerals will take place not far from here marine Sergeant David white will be buried with full military honors. Lester . Miguel almaguer as we see the crowd leaving tributes. In south texas, preliminary autopsy results were released about sandra bland, the woman that died in jail after being arrested after a traffic stop. Some had questioned whether foul play was involved but the District Attorney said the cause was suicide by hanging and that there was no evidence of a violent struggle. He also said toxicology tests found marijuana in blands system but that more tests were needed to determine when she ingested it. To politics now, no one could ever accuse donald trump of not knowing how to orchestrate political theater. Today it was a visit to the u. S. Mexico boarder to highlight illegal immigration and Boarder Security issues that propelled him to the top of the polls but it isnt what trump did today that has republicans worried, its what he said opening up the possibility of running as a Third Party Candidate, which could be very bad news for the gop. Nbcs katy tur has details from laredo texas. Reporter making good on his tough talk donald trump took his campaign to the boarder today. The wall will save you a tremendous amount of money. Reporter people in laredo, texas didnt embrace him as he hoped stepping off his plane to protest and into controversy as the boarder patrolmens union which initially invited him dropped out early this morning saying an endorsement was never discussed for any president ial candidate. They are petrified and afraid of saying what is happening and they are the ones that invited me. Reporter trump came anyway instead getting a tour from the mayor. For those who live here immigration isnt so cut and dry. Do you think the people that cross over are criminals or some are. Some arent. But you cant paint them all with the same brush. My grandfather is a mexican, and my grandfather work hard to put his children through school and put food on our table. Reporter trumps visit a chance to once again control the message, moving the focus away from john mccain and back to his rallying cry on illegal immigration and with the possible and potent threat he could mount an independent run. I want to run as a republican. I think ill get the nomination. Well see soon enough but i think ill get the nomination. If he thinks hes not treated well and will be a Third Party Candidate that will guarantee Hillary Clintons election it says a lot about this man. Reporter the polls on his side and press following his every move trump continues to campaign his way leading up to the first Republican Debate exactly two weeks from now. As for that boarder wall that trump wants to build, the boarder stands four states about 2,000 miles long and experts say a wall would be billions of dollars, trump has said that hes going to have mexico pay for that wall still no word today on how he would do that, lest sner er. Thanks. Chuck todd is here with us. Lets game this up trump runs as an independent, how could that effect the race . Depends on the support he has. There is two recent examples to go through. Number one he has to get on the ballot. Hes probably the most famous Third Party Candidate of our generation. Being a billionaire, he could finance getting on the ballot. Thats the hardest thing to do. He gets on the ballot and starts campaigning as hard as he is now, you could argue he can end up pulling votes from both sides in someways. He is appealing to this sort of populism that could appeal to even some on the left depending on what kind of candidates runs and the true 50 state election. The most likely is he ends up like ralph nader that flipped a few states. Back then New Hampshire and florida and handed the election to bush. In this case donald trump getting 3 or 4 could flip an arizona from red to blue could flip a texas from red to blue. Bottom line like the analysts said it would change this map to the a sea of blue for hillary clinton. Were not the only ones gaining this i suspect. A lot of people doing the math.
