[ applause ] >> mug shot! that is a mug shot. >> now the final question. maybe we have time for two, depending on how long your answer is. this question almost sounds like it could have come in over the internet. not sure whether it did. this questioner says, you have fewer than 5,000 followers on twitter, and you're not verified. what's up with that? >> so i don't tweet all that much. just every once in a while. i have better things to do. and besides i have more than enough visibility as it is. i don't need anymore. i got stopped by two autograph guys as i walked in today. and i don't know. verification, what do you have to do to get verified? send your blood type or something? >> we'll have to ask twitter. >> yeah i don't know. i remember asking the guy that started twitt

so united, american, delta don have done well. they have large orders for the airbus 320 and >> what's the most popular plane that the good legacy carriers love? >> well, the real work force would be the 737 and the a320. but the new 787s. the mid-sized bodies, super long range. really comfortable. carbon i fiber. very light. they can have high humidity. it doesn't corrode. very popular with the airlines and customers. >> fascinating to watch your business grow. each time we speak, you're buying more a320s. more 727s. when are you going public? >> that's a graich. i hagreatquestion. you predicted that mcquarry would make a play for us. they have bought 90 of our aircraft. >> that's the backdoor way of getting into there -- >> we have 150 aircraft. that takes 90 aircraft out of our fleet. we'll grow again. we'll invest a billion and a half of capex buying more aircraft. as we discussed, we're owned by terra firma. >> and we know they always want their money back. >> absolutely. so it will be time to think about exit probably within the next couple of years. >> okay. keep us po

and also potentially means a lot more intelligence gained for the united states. sources telling cnn that about 100 u.s. troops were involved from different branchs of the military and some two dozen deltaed into eastern syria by black hawks and ospreys and a fierce battle erupted and then a dozen isis fighters were killed and no u.s. troops were wounded or killed. the apparent goal was to capture the isis financial leader abu sayyaf and instead, he was killed. let's talk about with michael weiss who is a contributor and auwe authority and author of the book "isis inside the army of war." >>> if you talk to some of the organizations themselves his name is not one that comes up and his name was not on the department of treasury sanction so the fact that he is a high-level financial sort of operator within isis could very well be the case, but the pentagon certainly seems to be pushing this line. or it could be as i suggested and i as i have some of the reports he was not the primary target, or one of the other targets, and they got away. i am surprised if this guy was hit only because of his, his apparent stature as the oil minister or the oil emir by the fact that the pentagon's own adm

united. and from paris on delta. they landed as scheduled at the airports. authorities determined early on that the hoax calls were not credible but passed it to the airlines to be cautious. the caller also mentioned five international flights outside the u.s. they also arrived with nothing hazardous found. now the hunt is on for the man who made these hoax calls. phoning in these threats is a serious crime. one man who tried it recently was sentenced to eight years in priss. >> no laughing matter. thank you very much. >>> we'll learn more today about the plan to make public tens of thousands of e-mails from hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. andrea mitchell has more on that and her first official challenger in the democratic presidential race. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, willie. vermont senator bernie sanders is joining the democratic race tonight, but hillary clinton could be paying more attention to what the state department tells a federal judge today. the deadline for producing a timetable for the release of thousands more e-mail
