Reporting from washington. Lets start with a new video showing the release of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl after five years in captivity. Its a rare view of the taliban and American Special forces. Our pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr takes us through the highlights. Reporter chanting praise for their leader 18 armed taliban militants seen standing in wait, perched on grassy hills in the valley, guns and rocket launchers at the ready. The narration says this meeting took place at 4 00 in the afternoon in Khost Province, eastern afghanistan. At the center of the action, a silver pickup truck. Bow bergdahl seen inside, sitting in the back seat. Bergdahl, dressed all in white. He appeared to be nervous, blinking, shakiy. Bergdahl seen talking with one of his alleged captors. At one point, the Army Sergeant even cracks what looks to be a smile while talking. And then wipes his eyes. Seen flying overhead, a twin engine plane approaching the meeting point. And then suddenly, like a seen out of the movies, the special forces blackhawk helicopter descends. Two taliban militants immediately escort bergdahl towards the chopper, waving a white flag. Three u. S. Special open races commandos approach, shaking hands with the militants. They pat bergdahls back and immediately begin escorting him to the helicopter. In bergdahls left hand, a plastic bag, the contents not yet known. The commanders wave back to the militants as they run to the chopper. They pat bergdahl down again. This time in a deliberate and thorough fashion. Presumably a swipe for explosives right before loading him in. This facetoface exchange lasting less than ten seconds before they were off. A message later emerges. Dont come back to afghanistan. Barbara is joining us from the pentagon. Our chief National Correspondent jim sciutto is here as we. Barbara, that message, dont come back to afghanistan, that was followed by the words you will not make it out alive. Was that directed at bergdahl, was it directed at all americans . I know weve had a translator. Yes, i think its hard to say at this point. Dont come back to afghanistan was on the video that they knew the world would see. The language, you know, you wont get out alive, to bergdahl, from one his captors. Look, its all taliban propaganda. They deliberately filmed this. They edited it. It was very highly produced. They put it out on their internet site, knowing that the world would see it. Its propaganda. Your thoughts, jim . I think its interesting, theres been a lot of speculation from 30 seconds of video. Barbaras right, you cant glean that much, you cant make conclusions, but there have also been allegations about what bergdahl did, you know, walking off base deliberately, was he a collaborator . When you see those interaction, dont come back to afghanistan, you may not live the next time, that doesnt sound like the interaction between a captor and his captives in a stockholm syndrome kind of way. Even when you looked at him in the car, it looked like his hands might have been bound. So, you know, there had been reports in the past that he attempted to escape. I think its too early to say the full story on this. Some indications show his story is very complicated. They posted, barbara, the taliban actually what, about 16, 17 minutes of footage. I assume u. S. Intelligence analysts, theyre going to carefully go through all of that, frame by frame, to get some information potentially. What are you hearing . Well, look, theyre going to go through it frame by fraud and theyre certainly going to talk to the special Operations Team that was there to get any insights from them, as well as bergdahl. You know, its pretty interesting for the special ops guys to get such a closeup look at how the taliban operate, how they parade themselves on that hillside. Theyve been fighting each other for many years. This was quite an extraordinary event. All of these moves you see on the videotape, wolf, were choreographed ahead of time. All of the arrangements about how the turnover would happen, you know, how many people would be there, would they be armed, would they not be armed, how it would all go down. All of it arranged ahead of time. It looks like it all went very smoothly. I think one of the most interesting things is the special ops guys did not linger on the ground. They got bergdahl on to that chopper and they were out of there as fast as they could be. Im sure there were other choppers and planes hovering overhead as well. They wanted to get out of there quickly. Its pretty rare, jim, to see Something Like this. Extremely rare to see special forces like this in action, particularly the kinds of teams that would be involved, team s. E. A. L. 6, delta, we dont know, but it would be at that level. I was embedded with special forces during the iraq invasion. That was by arrangement. Another time in eastern afghanistan i came across special forces during an operation. We filmed them. They came up to us and took the tape and destroyed it in front us. They dont like to be filmed. In part, because it shows the world, the public, how they do things. Looking at this video, you get some indication. Civilian clothes. Beards. Wearing the arab or middle eastern scarf. And the kind of helicopters they use, et cetera. We know u. S. Officials will be looking at this for intelligence. Ill bet you the taliban were watching as well. I want to show our viewers, barbara, some video of Sergeant Bergdahl over the years. He was taken, what, in june 2009. Take a look at the various images weve seen. In this most recent video of his release, at least to the naked eye, he looked relatively healthy, he walked on his own volition. He did not need some help in walking from the truck over to the helicopter. It looked like he was in relatively good shape. What are you hearing . Well, i think most people at the pentagon are saying lets wait and see. We simply do not know. There are privacy act issues here that he has every right to, so the details of his medical condition are not being released at this time. He was able to walk to the helicopter. But, look, we dont know what other issues are in play here. We dont know if he has internal issues, systemic issues. We dont know anything really factually about his health, other than the u. S. Has been saying it has information hed been in deteriorating health. Not on his death bed. Nobody was claiming that. But deteriorating physical condition. And the medical research over the years has definitely shown, theyve monitored a lot of p. O. W. S. People held in these captivity conditions do suffer Health Problems. And they suffer longterm Health Problems that can really plague them for years. In bergdahls case, we simply dont know the answers yet. One case, of what barbara is saying, when jessica beau cab be was released, they found she had a kidney innext. When they got this proof of life video, when military experts looked, they saw signs his health was declining, which was one reason for the increased urgency to make a deal. Jim sciutto, Barbara Starr. Bowe bergdahl undergoing medical treatment at the u. S. Facility in landstuhl, germany. He may be there for an while, were told. What happens next will likely depend on the state of his health. Our senior interNational Correspondent Matthew Chance is there in landstuhl for us. Matthew, has the army released any updates on his condition . Any change since he arrived there on sunday . They say hes making progress in his condition, but they say hes basically in a stable situation right now. He does have some Health Problems but as Barbara Starr was mentioning, there are privacy issues concerning what they can reveal about what treatment hes getting. Theyre saying part of his treatment is to do with nutritional and dietary problems. As a result of his captivity for nearly five years in afghanistan, in pakistan as well, at the hands of the taliban. These are the issues theyve announced, they said theyre focusing on. Theyre not being any more specific than that. In addition to that, though, wolf, there are the psychological concerns. The fact he was held for so long. Basically on his own, without any other contact, as far as were aware, with other prisoners. This will have an impact on him psychologically as well. Thats something were deeply concerned about. The process of reintegration. Hes currently engaged on before he can be introduced back to society at large is going to be a painstaking one. Theres no set time frame for it either. Theyre saying that pace will be determined by the that the rate at what he heals and starts that process of reintegration himself, wolf. Has he been in direct contact with his family in idaho . You know, we dont know that. Weve been asking it, kind a couple times a day of the officials weve been in contact with. Theyre not confirming or denying it. Part of the reintegration process will involve potentially here at landstuhl some kind of interaction with family members. We dont know whether hes been in contact with him or not. Nor do we know whether investigators have yet had the opportunity to get his side of the story. Remember, there are some Big Questions about the circumstances into which then private bergdahl fell into the hands of the taliban. This would be their first opportunity to talk to him about what exactly happened. At this point, we dont know whether those questions, his opportunity to tell his side of the story has actually been made or been given. We dont know when hes going to be flown to that u. S. Military facility in san antonio, texas, either, right . No, thats right, we dont. We thought it could be very soon after he arrived. Then we heard some reports it could be a few days later. Now it could be next week. We havent been given a firm time line on that. Theyre saying thats the definite the objective at this point, for as soon as possible, as soon as its medically and psychologically capable of being reintegrated in that way, going back for that, what i think will be a dramatic homecomi homecoming. Theyre going to do it as soon as they can. No, they havent given us an exact time frame when thats going to be. Matthew chance in landstuhl, in germany, thank you. Just ahead, the video showing bergdahls release by the taliban. Standing by to offer their take on these dramatic images.

Forces over the weekend in the remote Khost Province in afghanistan, near the pakistan border. The video of the handover shows curious details such as the raised hood on the pickup truck and the almost casual manner of bergdahls captors. Lets bring in former cia operative, Cnn National Security analyst bob bair. And the dean from the school of advanced International Studies here in washington, d. C. Lets talk a little about this video. First, why would the taliban release the video, from their perspective, whats in it for them . First of all it has propaganda value. Secondly, they also have a constituency they need to explain to what happened, why did they make a deal. I think theyre very keen to get ahead of the ball game and set the parameters for a pr explanation for the release of bergdahl before we do so. Would the u. S. Side as well, bob, i didnt see anybody with cameras on the u. S. Side, also be shooting video of this for whatever reason . If they did, would they consider releasing it, now that the taliban has released 16 or 17 minutes of their raw footage . Almost definitely not. Special forces, special operations, dont like to record combat incidents or an exchange like this. Their very secretive. They would prefer the taliban not release this. By the way, these guys are incredibly brave to fly into that area on their own, one helicopter. Its really quite remarkable. It is remarkable. When you think about it, it was very well choreographed. There must have been extensive discussions going into this transfer of Bowe Bergdahl. It seemed both sides knew exactly what they had to do and get it over with. The role that the contract play, because its their trust on the line. If the taliban had done something funny or dangerous, then it would have reflected very badly on qatar. The president spoke with the premier of qatar. The qataris put this deal together. Whats the significance . I know you looked at the video. Did you see any significant . For example, the raised hood on that vehicle, anything along those line, what do you make of it . I find it interesting, the commentary, you know, the sub script is once we leave afghanistan, why cant we be friends . They almost regretted that the operators didnt stay and talk to them and have three cups of tea or whatever. I find it very curious. It was a good piece of propaganda. As vali said. Its the taliban basically saying, look, the americans are leave, they didnt get what they want, our destruction. It was almost a statement of victory of some sort. Does this embolden the Haqqani Network . It was the Haqani Network that actually controlled Bowe Bergdahl for, what, five years, inside pakistan. Thats the assumption. The Haqani Network deemed a terrorist organization by then Hillary Clinton, secretary of state in 2012. Does this video get them more recruitment opportunities . They are as bold as can be. As bob says, theyre already saying theyre leaving the United States, were leaving. At some level, they also accepted the authority of the greater taliban leadership in this case. You mean mullah muhammad . Whos disappeared exactly. Hes the one who released the statement that he is the one who cut the deal with the emir of qatar. So theyre under the taliban leadership. Secondly, as bob says, theres an element in this video which argues it is possible to make a deal. It is possible to have a diplomatic solution to things. And i think the taliban very much want to tout that. That its possible, now that were leaving, for us to have a live and let live arrangement. Ive watched the entire 16, 17 minutes. Weve translated into english everything that was heard by the taliban troops who were there, whatever they were saying. They did, in fact, seem sort of disappointed it was going so quickly. I think they wanted to have a little chat with these special operations forces. They were tis appointed, disappointed it moved as quickly as it did, what do you make of that . Well, think the operators were very polite in an american sense but they really wanted to sit down. I think the taliban in particular is telling us in this message and the release that, hey, we would like to be part of the new, you know, new afghanistan government, were rational, reasonable people. For the most part, the Haqani Network is. Theyre vicious fighters. But theyre not entirely, you know, havent gone over the abyss. Near the end of the tape, we hear one of the taliban fighters saying when he first saw the helicopt helicopters, he became very happy, but they left very quickly, we didnt get the time to convey our clearly, there were some messages they wanted to convey. Not this time. Some expert analysis on this dramatic video of Bowe Bergdahls release, including one potential reason the u. S. Did not want to leave bergdahl behind. Stay with us. Humans.

Lets bring back our guests. Give us a bigger context, this happens now, but it happens in the context of a lot going on, not only in afghanistan, but with iran, the president wants to close guantanamo bay, the u. S. Prison there. Give us perspective in whats going on there. This is not just an isolated incident. Cy think it actually goes to the fact the president means it when he says he wants to get out of afghanistan, he doesnt want to lose any loose ends behind, nothing that will embarrass us later. Secondly, i think this president has not clearly broken with the Bush Administration policy that we do not negotiate or talk to our enemies. There has been talks for secret, now open with iran. There has been talks with the taliban. This is actually the first deal with the taliban after two years back and forth with them. This is a new sort of precedent with this president , using diplomacy and negotiation, to at least get certain things out of adversaries that the Previous Administration was not able to do through just confrontation. On the whole, you think this was a good deal . I think its a good deal for the United States. We cannot be leaving afghanistan and leaving an american there that the taliban may use in any which way, unpredictably, to put us in a bind. I do think its good now were leaving. Theres an example for the Afghan Government to follow up with the taliban about a negotiated settlement to end this conflict. Clearly, bob, qataris and the emir of qatar played an important role. These five taliban prisoners, theyre free to walk around. I assume theyll be watched in qatar. They cant leech tave the countr a year. This is video. They got a heros welcome when they landed in qatar, just as Bowe Bergdahl was being reunited with the u. S. Military forces. Bob. Wolf, this the important thing here is that qatar is a good spokesman for militant islam. Its a good friend of the United States. It doesnt surprise me at all that they negotiated this. Theres a lot of militant islamic groups there. Theyre trusted by them, as they are by washington. Theres a big american base. I think these guys will stay there and will be relatively quiet. Qatar has a very sophisticated police force. They wont be able to fly out. I doubt they can get through the ports as well. And their honor is attached to this. As voli said. And theyre going to do their best to manage this to washingtons favor. The u. S. Military Central Command still has quite a facility there in camp oci li ta, just outside of doha, qatar, ive been there, ive seen it. Its robust. Even though the qatari government doesnt like to discuss it. Thanks very much for joining us. Bob, thanks to you as well. Coming up, more on this story, also, what documents released by wikileak what those documents say about the capture of Sergeant Bowe bergdahl by the taliban nearly five years ago. Up next, Hillary Clintons views on the bergdahl swap when she was secretary of state. Officials say she wanted a tougher deal. Gloria borger standing by to discuss with me. We asked people a question, how much money do you think youll need when you retire . Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going to have to rethink this thing. Its hard to imagine how much well need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. So maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. If we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Jamie, youve got a Little Something on the back of your shoe, there. [alarm beeping] price tag. Danger price tag alert. Oh, hey, guys. Price tag alert. Is this normal . Well, progressives a price tag free zone. We let you tell us what you want to pay, and we help you find options to fit your budget. Where are they taking him . I dont know. This seems excessive decontaminations in progress. I dont want to tell you guys your job, but. Policies without the price tags. Now, thats progressive. Welcome back. Im wolf blitzer reporting from washington. The Prisoner Exchange that freed the captured american soldier Bowe Bergdahl has touched off a major legal debate. The political firestorm as well. By not notifying congress about the release of prisoners from kw guantanamo bay, did the Obama Administration make things worse . Today, saying the Obama Administration should have taken a harder line in try to make a deal. Its not the best deal we could have gotten. Its the deal they wanted. I dont think theres any real effort. Would you just take one, would you just take two . I dont think they fought very hard to not release five because theyre look for ways to get rid of these people. Our chief political analyst Gloria Borger has been looking into this, doing some reporting. If the president or his white house chief of staff or secretary of defense had consulted order notified members of the house and senate, might some of the political uproar have been mitigated, if you will . I was speaking to one National Security source today, who is not inside this administration, but who said, you know, sometimes you dont want to ask a question when you know what the answers going to be. Because they would have been opposed. Because they would have said no. Look, these are discussions, wolf, that had gone on for years with congress about the question of rescue, for example, or the question of some kind of a trade. This issue had been brought up. It was very clear that there were it was controversial. And so, you know, notification is one thing. Consultation is another. When you hear the democratic chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence committee complain that she wasnt notified, the question i have is, you know, its easier to complain about process than it is to complain about substance. She may also disagree on the substance but its easier to talk about the fact you werent notified. We dont know what she does believe on this. You know, i think they would have been able to get some people inside the tent with them, maybe. Yeah, i think Even White House officials acknowledge they should have notified dianne feinstein, mike rogers, respective chairs of the intelligence committee. They even apologized. Says the deputy security adviser called to apologize. But if they had consulted her and she said no the president had clearly made up his mind what he wanted to do. As a courtesy, he should have they should have notified they themselves acknowledge that. I agree. Hillary clinton, shes now speaking out, offering sort of tepid support, right . I think what you see from people is sort of theyre walking a fine line. Theyre all walking a fine line. Nobody wants to belie the International Conversations that were had. My reporting shows a couple of things, wolf. One is there were internal debates going back a year or two over this question of a rescue. And, you know, ironically the rescue of i mean the murder, killing, of Osama Bin Laden complicated all of this. Because, you know, if he were, for example, being held in pakistan, do you risk really angering the pakistanis even more with the rescue . Did you have the intelligence to know exactly where he was, you know, those kind, of issues. And then on the issue of a trade, you know, that was also complicated. What would you get out of it . The same questions that are being asked publicly were also asked privately. Its interesting, some republicans, including some idaho senators, lawmakers, who were originally very support impl supportive of the freedom for bergdahl, theyre sort of not discussing it anymore. Look, theres a lot hypocrisy going on. I think one thing people agree on is that the notion of getting him home is important. Because it is a way to keep faith with americans who serve. The notion that you leave no soldier behind. The president is winding down this war in afghanistan. Getting rid of everybody there who is american. No soldier left behind. Everybody agrees with that in theory, okay, and they believe that the president needed to make an effort to get him back home. I dont think anybody is complaining about that. I think the real question that comes, and this is where people change their minds is, was this the trade he should have made . That is a question that will remain open. I think there are members of Congress Asking for documents to be declassified. I think were going to unspool this as the weeks unfold. Gloria, thanks very much. Up next, documents released by wikileaks give us some of the details about Army Sergeant bergdahls capture by the taliban. Brian todd is going through those documents. Later, Hillary Clinton talks about politic, her marriage and more with People Magazine. Youre going to find out what shes now saying about possibly running for president of the United States in 2016. Awesome, amazing, thats epic, bro. Whatever happened to good . Good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it. Good is maxwell house. Good to the last drop good is maxwell house. Trwith secure wifie for your business. It also comes with public wifi for your customers. Not so with internet from the phone company. I would email the phone company to inquire as to why they have shortchanged these customers. But that would require wifi. Switch to comcast Business Internet and get two Wifi Networks included. Comcast business built for business. Some of his fellow soldiers are calling Sergeant Bowe bergdahl a deserter. Some say he just walked away from his post. The question of what really happened will likely come from bergdahl himself as part of the u. S. Militarys investigation. We heard from defense secretary chuck hagel in brussels talking about bergdahl, the allegations that he deserted. Until we get facts, until we have, as secretary of the army mccune noted, review of all the circumstances, its not in the interest of anyone and certainly i think a bit unfair to Sergeant Bergdahls family, and him, to presume anything. We dont do that in the United States. We rely on facts. And you mentioned me being a sarngant as well. Its not my place as a former sergeant in the United States army, which i am very proud of, to decide whos worthy of being a sergeant and who isnt. I think any further talk of that is irresponsible. Documents released by wikileaks include some of the details about the capture of bergdahl nearly five years ago. Brian todd has been going through these documents. These documents capture the confusion on the ground as u. S. Army units were trying to assess what had happened and the taliban realizing early on they had captured someone of value. We have to say we cannot independently verify the authenticity of the documents. According to these reports, these are classified, just after bir he was captured, u. S. Forces picked up a radio transmission, presumably from the taliban. An american soldier is talking and looking for someone who speaks english. Indicates american soldier has camera. Now, that does not really clarify the argument obs both sides, the claims on both sides on whether he did this on his own, on purpose, or whether he was captured by the taliban. That particular transmission does not clarify that. So were waiting for, to see if theres any clarity. But its clear the taliban realized early on that they had something of value there and they wanted to get something for it. Heres another radio intercept of a taliban communication on july 1st. The day after he was captured. One guy said, i think he is big shot, that is why they are looking for him. Another one says, can you guys make a video him and announce it all over afghanistan, that we have one of the americans. So they knew they could maybe get something for him. We called the army to get response to this, to see if they could commend comment. We havent heard back. Very early on, they made it clear, they wanted a deal. This is almost five years ago. It was very early on, july 2nd. Another report from one of the wikileaks documents indicates this is from a u. S. Soldier saying in his report, the elders in some of the tribes nearby were asked by the taliban to do a trade between the u. S. And taliban and he said the taliban terms are 15 of their taliban brothers in the u. S. Jail and some money in exchange for then private bergdahl. Hes since become a sergeant. They wanted 15 guys and some money in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl. Obviously, thats not what they got in the end. They knew they could maybe get something for him or sensed it early on. They got five guys. As far as we know, no money. Thats right. Okay, thanks very much. Up next, Hillary Clinton says shed love to see the u. S. Elect a female president. But will she run for that job . People magazine, her health, even her hairstyles. But first, todays american journey. The oldest living american has just celebrated her 115th birthday. Happy birthday, gerolyn tally was born in georgia during William Mckinleys presidency. She now lives with her daughter in michigan. Our gary tuchman got a chance to talk to her recently. Watch this. Whats the secret to living to 115 . The lord. The father above. He has everything in his hand. I got nothing. I think you have hes got it all. Hes got it all. Hes the answer to you and everybody else. So the answer is to have a lot of faith. Happy birthday. Tally, by the way, also one of the last five known people in the world born in the 1800s. Amazing.

So imagine what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar . Imagine. Loving your numbers. Introducing oncedaily invokana®. Its the first of a new kind of prescription medicine thats used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how. The kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. Using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. Its time. Lower your blood sugar with invokana®. Imagine loving your numbers. Ask your doctor about invokana®. On this day in history, 25 years ago, communist chinese leaders ordered a crackdown in tiananmen square. Cnns coverage of the anniversary has been blacked out in china, continuing a quarter century of efforts by the Chinese Government to expunge the nations memory of that eve event. Its expected thousands of protesters were killed that day. Hillary clinton is on the campaign trail, but the campaign is for the release of her brandnew book which is due out next week. Hillary clint bes Media Campaign is cranking up the speculation about whether she will actually run for president. In the new issue of People Magazine which hits newsstands friday, clinton talks about her politics, her marriage and a whole lot more. Our senior Political Correspondent Brianna Keebler is here with more on what shes saying. We certainly get a look at her lighter side. Hillary clinton was also asked about Monica Lewinsky and her president ial ambitions. Hillary clinton, sitting down for an exclusive interview with People Magazine at her washington home. As her newest book, hard choices, hits shelves next week. On her president ial aspirations, clinton tells people, i know i have a decision to make. She says, we need to break down that highest, hardest Glass Ceiling in american politics. To have a woman president is something i would love to see happen, but ill just have to make my own decision about what i think is right for me. Her book rollout is certainly starting to look like a campaign. A busy schedule of appearances. Let me shake a few more hands. Interviews and calculated releases of parets of her maam war at the state department. Just monday, she dropped this in a speech. She assured the crowd she has a lot of resilience, a lot of stamina. She also talks about her husbands health, saying hes had that tremor for years. Its nothing serious, just some sort of nerve pinch. People say hes too thin. He doesnt think so. He has an enormous amount of energy. Saying i moved on. I think Everybody Needs to look to the future. Clinton also reveals her indu e indulges since taking time off. Its all about location, location, location. And house of cards which she and bill totally bing watched and she was not demure when asked if she has a hair strategy. Im at an age where i can pretty much do what i want. Here i am whether you like my hair or not. She didnt joke about her head. She was asked about whether there were lingering effects about the blood clot and concussion. What she said was no, i rested, i recovered. But it was pretty interesting and i would say not necessarily a coincidence. She is putting it out there saying hey, a lot of people have had this. Its interesting. It makes her accessible. I think a lot of people would be curious about that. It speaks to the issue of health and age. She will be 69 if she were to run in 2016. So its sort of speaks to questions about that sort of her saying you know, i am taking care of myself. Take that carl. Thats what she is suggest i ing. That is a primary race. One of the most primary watched in the space. Unopposed. Thats what tom says in iowa. Up next we take you to the skies of one of the most important planes in aviation history. For a lesson on how its impact is being felt today. The eyes may be the windows to the soul. But in the case of the lexus ls. Which eyes . Eyes that pivot with the road. That can see what light misses. Eyes designed to warn when yours wander. Or ones that can automatically bring the ls to a complete stop. All help make the unseen. Seen. And make the ls perhaps the most visionary vehicle on the road. This is the pursuit of perfection. This week were commemorating a milestone. Todays enstallment, jonathan takes a look at the plane that changed the game for the airline industry. And for the u. S. Military. It was the workhorse that helped win world war ii. It was the marvel that made Passenger Airlines profitable. An enduring icon of the era, it carried Indiana Jones to cairo as a raider of the lost arc. Dc 3 was a major turning point. Americas pantheon of planes that made history. The dc 3 was such a hugely important aircraft. It revolutionized the airline industry. The dc 3 was born in 1935. At first a few hundred of them were sold to commercial airlines but more than 10,000 were built for the allies in world war ii. From the sky train, the dakota and the goony bird moved soldiers and supplies across the globe. But goony . The dc 3 carried 21 paying passengers, more than ever before, and enough to make commercial air travel profitable for the first time. Thousands were suddenly. There are lots of trained pilots and spare parts and the planes were sturdy. Originally designed eight decades ago, there were dc 3s still in the sky today. The reason is in the sky. Todays jet liners fly so high that the cabins have to be pressurized for people inside. The dc 3 flies relatively low so the aircraft does not have to endure the stresses of being squeezed and stretched every time it goes up and down. Almost unbreakable. Quite a few of them took hard landings. It can land just about everywhere. They dont really need a runway so it can stop pretty darn fast. Hightech is terrific but this tough old bird can take you just about anywhere you want to go. The dc 3 is not really the star exhibit. The spacecraft that pushed flight beyond the confines of the planet. But what it does represent is the innovation that defined an era, when passenger flight, aviation most of us know best, really took off. Thats it for me. I will be back 5 00 p. M.
