but let's talk to brianna keilar first with more on hillary's message. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the day. we have known that hillary clinton was very likely going to be running. that was very apparent. but the question has been how is this going to be different from 2008, her very disastrous campaign? the memo you referenced is really part of this. that was a memo given to staffers as they begin this sort of adventure and this big task of this campaign. but this was also a memo that is for public consumption just to be clear, because hillary clinton, about eight years ago when she threw her hat into the ring, again, with a video that was on social media, she said, i'm in and i'm in to win. that was really seen especially in retrospect as hillary clinton, the front-runner kind of taking it for granted and what you're hearing now from the campaign is they are taking nothing for granted and they want to aggressively fight for every vote and show they are doing that. this is something that came from that memo, a quote. we are humble an

you need brianna keilar. clinton will be the first democrat to declare candidacy and if you keep tally, which of course you are, clinton will be joining at this point republicans rand paul and ted cruz in the race for the white house. that's only so far. there's many other people to jump into the race. brianna is here with much more of the details. what more are we learning about the rollout? >> the video is shot as you said. it will be this one-two punch. she has the video where she announces her rationale for running and she'll head to iowa. this is important. iowa not friendly to hillary clinton in 2008. you'll recall she didn't just come in third, not second. she was third. third to barack obama. third to john edwards. and so this is a signal we're told by supporters of clintons that she wants to campaign really aggressively for the nomination, which is kind of weird you might say because who else is really in the race against her? no one officially yet. she's so far ahead of other likely democrats in the

of the details coming out by our good reporters, senior washington correspondent is here and brianna keilarre as well. let's work through this. the time is ticking and everyone says we're all waiting at any moment to hear this announcement. what are the details that you're learning about what a campaign, the clinton campaign will look like this time around. how will it be different? >> it's going to be a lot smaller. that's by design. not that she can't attract big crowds and draw big rallies but intentionally her aides tell me she'll have a smaller campaign. a lot of one-on-one conversations and small group conversations. they are really trying to pop this balloon that is hanging over her so they are trying to say she's going to fight hard for this nomination and work voter to voter and activists that love so much time and attention and she's going to spend a lot of time with them so she's really going to intentionally try to shrink her campaign, if you will, and try to reintroduce herself to the voters who she's not had a conversation with for some eight years. >> that's a really good poi

brianna keilar is out front in new hampshire where clinton was campaigning today. >> reporter: hillaryhe nation primary state of new hampshire. as she met with several residents to talk about small businesses she distanced herself from the obama economy. >> i want to be sure that we get small businesses starting and growing in america again. we have stalled out. >> reporter: and for the first time clinton commented on the new book "clinton cash" that details donations made to her family's foundation by countries with business before the state department while clinton was secretary. >> well we're back into the political season and, therefore, we will be subjected to all kinds of distraction and attacks and i'm ready for that. i know that that comes, unfortunately, with the territory. it is i think, worth noting that the republicans seem to be talking only about me. i don't know what they'd talk about if i weren't in the race. >> reporter: for republicans, the book by a conservative author reinforces their argument that clinton is not trustworthy trustworthy. >> and the question here is

senior political correspondent brianna keilar is there with more. what are we looking for, brianna? >> reporter: do you see this building behind me? if i were to tell you this is where someone is starting their presidential campaign, you would think really? this is the satellite campus of kirkwood community college. not even the main campus. this is a smaller facility. that's on purpose. it's supposed to go along with this team of hillary clinton's that it's not about her but about people who are supporting her and it's about americans and she wants to help out as she calls them every-day americans and that's what her campaign is saying over and over again. this is the auto tech lab inside where she'll be surrounded by not too many students and young people. some who as of today aren't old enough to vote but will be on election day. you mentioned that stop at chipotle in ohio as she made this road trip from new york having these stops. she went and was not really recognized. was wearing her sunglasses. i talked to some iowa activists about this. they say that was kind of odd. even p

political correspondent brianna keilar joins me now from des moines with more. brianna?here, anderson. the only specific policy proposal that hillary clinton outlined today was one, to do away with what she referred to as unaccountable money. so the proliferation of those super pacs and their big donors noteworthy though she did not explain how that squares with the super pac that she is blessed to support in her run for president. otherwise, it was broad strokes with an appeal to the middle class and to women. >> it's a question voters might be hearing from hillary clinton a lot in the next year and a half. >> don't you some day want to see a woman president of the united states of america? >> during her first white house run eight years ago clinton downplayed her gender and focused more on her experience. >> i believe that i will bring a lifetime of experience to this job. >> this time around expect a different message. one she hinted at as she exited the race in 2008. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time thanks to you, i

let's bring in our senior political correspondent brianna keilar covering the clinton campaign. good morning. >> good morning. she made it all of the way to pennsylvania without being detected. i have to say if she does become president, there will be none of that as you can imagine. she's on her way to iowa to sell this populist family based rationale for her candidacy that we saw unveiled in this video. it was so much different than her 2007 announcement where she was sitting on a couch alone. she doesn't appear for quite some time in the video. you hear what she calls the stories of every day americans. she wants to be the champion of the middle class or every-day americans as she said in her statement. she's heading to iowa for what really boils down to a listening tour. like what she did when she was running for the senate. and so she's going to have a lot of small events as we understand at this point. we know there are two on her schedule. one in eastern iowa, one closer to des moines in central iowa and we also expect that we're not going to see the big speeches. this is

brianna keilar is here with all the juicy details.brie kron na some of the most shocking secrets revolve around the clintons. >> certainly. this book really dishes, jake. you learn about a number of different white houses the president dens of the white house nancy reagan perhaps the most particular lbj maybe the most peculiar. but the clintons come across as the most privacy obsessed. one usher who served for the carter administration, the reagan administration and for bush 41 as well as the clintons goes as far as to say that the couple was paranoid. as bill and hillary clinton prepare to fight their bay back into the white house, a new book reveals detail bz the explosive arguments they had inside its halls. there was blood all over the president and first lady's bed. the blood was bill clinton's. what did they think had happened? >> well, everyone on the staff said that they were convinced that she clocked him with a book. >> in an abc interview at the time clinton dismissed similar rumors that she had thrown a lamp at the preside

>>> hi, there, i'm brianna keilar in for wolf blitzering. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you for joining us. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> we begin with some breaking news and i will tell you right now, we are awaiting the white house press briefing set tabegin any moment now. we're talking today about the death of two innocent hostages in a u.s. counterterrorism operation in pakistan. one of those killed was american warren weinstein, who was kidnapped in august of 2011 in pakistan. the u.s. has not recovered weinstein's body. it did not conduct a dna test. an italian hostage, geovonna lo porto was killed in that same operation. president obama takes full responsibility for the drone strike that killed the two hostages and he expressed sympathy to their families. >> as a husband and as a father i cannot begin to imagine the anguish that the weinstein and lo porto families are enduring today. i realize there are no words that can ever equal their loss. i know that there is nothing that i can ever say or do to ease

it is cnn's washington correspondent jeff zelany and our washington correspondent brianna keilar. bri, what are you hearing from team clinton about how they're planning this slow roll rollout. >> it's been a couple days now. they've gotten a lot of attention since we've known for a couple days this is coming. the video has been taped for some time. it is going to come out today. really any moment now. and then it's off for that campaign travel both to iowa and to new hampshire. it really is so key the tone that she strikes and that she does show some humility. if you go back and watch her video that announced her candidacy eight years ago, it does have this sort of sense of entitlement about it i'm in and i'm in to win. so she goes to iowa. her politics are wrong because of where she was on her iraq war vote. the tone was wrong. the tone of her staffers was wrong. there was this sort of sense of i'm leading the pack and it is going to work out for me and it rubs iowans the wrong way. even though we've known for some time she's going to run, today is so key and this week is so impo
