saying nice things about the nice things that kim said about him. late tonight, just moments ago in fact, he tweeted the following. quote, we are having very productive talks with north korea about reinstating the summit, which if it does happen will likely remain in singapore on the same date, june 12th, and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date. for more what fed into the remarkable 24 hours, that turn around, let's get to kaitlyn collins at the white house. i know you have talked to people in the white house, you talked to them yesterday when it was down. you are talking to them now when it is back, alive again. what changed? >> reporter: that's the question here. it seems to be a big question mark for a lot of the people that work inside of this white house, despite the fact that the president seems to be expressing confidence that this summit could still take place in singapore on june 12th. most white house staffers doesn't feel that way. they certainly didn't feel that way yesterday with one official remarking june 12th is essentially in the next ten minutes when asked if it is

feasible it could happen in the next 18 days or so. of course, there's so much planning and logistics that goes into a summit of this nature. that's the question for white house staffers. if the president makes the final decision, we're going ahead, we're going to have the summit in singapore on june 12th, that's going to cause a lot of problems for the staffers here who are going to have to prepare for something like that to take place after just 24 hours ago thinking it wasn't going to happen on june 12th. >> but did anything substantial change here or is it just that 24 hours ago the north koreans were saying not nice things about at the time the vice president and now they're saying nice things? i mean was it as simple as that? >> reporter: that seems to be the question, is the president overinflating what kind of progress has been made in 24 hours, because just yesterday what the north koreans were saying was warranted, did enough to make the u.s. want to call off that summit, threatening nuclear war in that statement where they called the vice president a political dummy. that seemed to be enough for them to warrant cancelling it then, so it raises the question

what has changed now. we have seen a change in the communications, of course. that is one thing we should note. secretary of state mike pompeo was testifying on capitol hill yesterday and said essentially the north koreans weren't returning his calls, ands a senior administration official noted when the advance staff for the white house went to singapore to smooth out the wrinkles ahead of the trip the north koreans stood them up and didn't show up there. so a breakdown in communications certainly there, but judging by the president's latest tweet and what he said this morning, that communication seems to have been restored since the united states called off this summit. >> kaitlan collins, following it like all of us there. thanks so much. more on the response so far in north korea, which has been notably short on fire and fury. cnn's will ripley is in the north with us as we are learning more about the on again/off again summit. >> reporter: jim, the sense i'm getting on the ground here is that the north koreans are

cautiously optimistic now that they might be able to salvage this june 12th summit in singapore with president trump. obviously there's still a lot of mistrust on both sides about what the other's intentions are, but i think the statement that we saw from the ministry of foreign affairs in pyongyang where they really dialled back some of the harsher rhetoric we heard in recent days, including the insult hurled at vice president pence, calling him a political dummy after he compared north korea to libya, a country that gave up weapons only to watch them over thrown and their leader killed, that infuriated north koreans. they came out with a strongly-worded response. after president trump wrote the letter to north korean leader kim jong-un calling off the summit, the north koreans dialled it back. the letter from president trump, quite frankly, it struck the right tone when trying to communicate with the north koreans. it was courteous and respectful and offered praise to kim and in return north korea praised president trump in their response, saying that he was brave for taking the steps that no other u.s. president has done before, showing a willingness to

sit down and talk with north korea. the north koreans are now saying that they are willing to open a dialogue with the united states, ready to sit down at any time. they believe that talks are the solution here, not military escalation, which, of course, is a dramatic u-turn from what we have seen from north korean leader kim jong-un during much of the six years in power where he has been building up the nuclear force, testing missile. the north koreans stated the steps they took inside the country in the last couple of days, the apparent dismantlement of their nuclear test site, they say it is a meaningful first step towards denuclearization, a sign to the united states that they're willing to work with them on this issue. but the north koreanss believe it is not going to happen quickly. they don't believe they're going to give up their nukes unilaterally and get nothing in return from the united states. they expect a more drawn-out process, step-by-step in lock step with the united states. they would like to see the

eventual withdrawal of troops from the korean peninsula, the end of the american nuclear umbrella and economic concessions in exchange for their willingness to talk and take steps towards denuclearization. loo lots to be worked out, but on the ground in north korea they believe it might be possible to salvage the talks and move forward, making progress towards peace with the united states. jim. >> will ripley inside north korea. very few individuals bring the kind of experience to this story our next guest does. we want his expertise on north korea as well as the late developments in the russia investigation. leon panetta, the secretary of defense and before that other roles. we are happy to speak with him tonight. mr. secretary, just yesterday the summit was off. the president said in his letter to kim it was inappropriate. today the president said they got a very nice statement from north korea, the summit might be back on. does that kind of drama set

these talks up for success? >> well, i'm worried that this kind of summit backlash is kind of -- it is focusing on the wrong issue, which is whether or not there's a summit. the real issue is whether or not a summit can be successful or whether it is going to be a failure. the problem i see right now is that while there's been a lot of this back and forth, i'm not so sure there has been sufficient preparation by both sides in order to ensure that when a summit takes place that it can be successful in laying the ground work for negotiations in the future. i think people are missing the point of a summit. a summit is about whether or not both countries can ultimately agree on some kind of comprehensive approach to disarmament. >> so on that issue, on the substance of these talks, what they're intended to do, is there

any evidence that you have seen that both sides share a mutual understanding? for instance, the key issue here of what denuclearization means, because both sides sent signal in fact their definitions are very different. >> i think that's a real problem. part of it is that, you know, in some ways this has been handled badly from the beginning. the president immediately agreed to going into a summit without any kind of preparation or discussion about what the north koreans were prepared to negotiate. then there's been this kind of almost open speculation by the president in tweets, by national security adviser, by the vice president in talking about the libya model. you know, the north koreans have been doing some of the same. but there has been no hard discussion about just exactly what are we dealing with here

when it comes to denuclearization. north korea's first and foremost goal is to protect the regime. that's the reason they developed nuclear weapons, is to make sure that that would be the key to protecting the regime. it is very difficult to believe that they're suddenly going to walk into a room with donald trump and give up all of their nuclear weapons, because that would mean in their view the end of the regime. >> i want to talk about another issue, which is the latest really episode in the president's long-term campaign to undermine the russia investigation, the department of justice, et cetera, the fbi. as you know, the president in the last several days has repeatedly used some variant of the word spy, at least 20 times in fact in the past week, to describe this confidential source that was part of the counterintelligence investigation. you used to lead the cia. you have a lot of experience with this kind of thing. from what you have seen, do you see any evidence here that a spy

was, as the president has claimed, planted inside his campaign? >> no, not at all. if you listen to both the republicans and democrats who came out of those briefings, they basically said there's nothing new here. very frankly, there's been almost deadly silence coming out of the white house about just what was involved in terms of those briefings, exempt for t-- except for the president's tweet. >> on another issue related to the ongoing investigation, we had an unusual episode where the white house counsel showed up at what was a confidential briefing on the hill. rudy guilliani told my colleague dana bash that the president's legal team wants to know as much as they can about the government's confidential source because, in his words, quote,

the sooner we know it, the better. is that the way intelligence and judicial systems are supposed to work here to assist the president's personal lawyers, in effect to give them inside information on an ongoing investigation? >> no, not at all. it really raises concerns about how you handle highly classified information. you don't allow lawyers to walk in on that. you don't allow chiefs of staff to walk in on that. you don't allow other people to be -- to suddenly get involved with that. why? because this is highly classified information, and it ought to be protected in that way. so i'm concerned about the breakdown in procedures that we've seen over the last few days. >> indeed, many share your concerns on both sides of the aisle. thank you for your time, secretary panetta. >> thanks, jim. a lot more ahead. next, the president's angry confrontation, his border wall you might say with the cabinet

secretary in charge of the border. it is a revealing look at the president's inner thinking on the issue, and some of what is in the report is causing an up roar. later, harvey weinstein, the sex crime charges against him and my conversation with a journalist who helped bring these cases to light. ♪ the sun comes up, the sun goes down. you run those miles, squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom and floss to set a good example. you fine tune the proposal, change the water jug so no one else has to, get home for dinner and feed the cat. you did a million things for your family today but speaking to pnc to help handle all your investments was a very important million and one. pnc. make today the day.

positions are driven by anti-immigrant animous. we got today a look at some of his thinking on the issue, the story laying out the hostility between the president and keer still nielsen, who with part reports he berated sharply, blaming her for a surge in crossings. details a meeting last year at which mr. trump reminisced to senior staffers how crowds loved his immigration talk. reading from the article, acting as if he were at a ralry, he recited a few made-up hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have committed such as rape or murder. then he said the crowds would roar when the criminals were thrown out of the country. he share it is by line on this one and he joins me now to take an inside look at the president's thinking. nick, reading the story, one thing that stuck out to me was

that the president has chastised nielsen on several occasions, not just one. this has become something of a pattern. >> yeah, this is something that's been developing all spring. you know, the president's been seeing arrest numbers from the mexico border climbing up, and it is taking away one of the -- one of what he considers his proudest accomplishments, which was the sudden decline in the months immediately following, you know, his inauguration in illegal border crossings. >> he ises expressing you report frustration his wall has not been built yet. it seems he is directing that anger and frustration at nielsen, where perhaps she's not responsible for both of those things, whether the wall or the numbers of folks being arrested at the border. >> that's right. i mean, well, some of the heat has fallen on her because she really led in some ways dhs's negotiations with lawmakers on the hill to try to get a deal earlier this year.

that failed. when it did, some of that blame fell on her. but on, you know, the broader point of the migration numbers, she is under tremendous pressure and facing, you know, a boss, a president who sees this in very raw, emotional terms, and as something that he feels is essential to his connection with his base so to speak. he doesn't want technical or legal explanations of why one or another policy option is just not possible. >> right, especially when there's so much political capital based on it, it seems. you talk about a behind-the-scenes moment the night before president trump delivered his first speech to congress in february of 2017 involving the issue of immigration, something of a shocking conversation. tell us about that. >> that's right. well, sources told my colleague josh vossie and i that essentially on the night before the president went to give the speech, you know, he was told to tone down the rhetoric on

immigration. he waxed nostalgic really in one moment, talking about how he could read the hispanic-sounding names and imagine the crimes they might have committed like rape or murder, and that the crowds would erupt. he was remembering that, you know, thinking of that fondly, and stephen miller and mr. kushner laughed at that, at that particular moment. >> they laughed at it. you say that he used made-up hispanic-sounding names and described potential crimes they could have committed such as rape and murder, and you're saying miller and kushner laughed at that story? >> that's right. that's right. that's what our sources told us, who are familiar with that exchange. >> that's just remarkable. lastly, does it seem like in light of this back and forth and the fact it is a number of times that the president has chastised his homeland security secretary, is it your sense that her days are numbered? >> well, you know, we've seen this before, and when certain cabinet members have fallen in

and out of favor, but in her case i think her fate is very much tied to chief of staff john kelly's fate. he's the one that wanted her in that position and is responsible for putting her there, and he's her closest ally. to the extent that his relationship with the president has failed, it has put -- not failed, but frayed, it has put her on shakier footing. >> nick miroff, great to you, great reporting. >> reply pleasure. good to be with you. >> paris dennard and symone sanders with me now. paris, if i could begin with you. can the president make his case for a more secure border, a stronger immigration policy without the derogatory comments? >> well, jim, i think that we need to be very clear in how we address the situation. once again, we are dealing with the news stories about palace intrigue, about what goes on inside of the white house or what doesn't go on inside the

white house. the sources that are -- >> let's be fair. the president's derogatory comments about immigrants have not been principally in private. they've been very public, i mean from the very start of his campaign. >> well, i thought you were talking about the alleged derogatory remarks about hispanic-sounding names, whatever, white house -- >> that is supporting, but you can't dismiss it as something that secret sources say inside the white house because the president has been public with this rhetoric for more than two years now. i'm curious, can he make the security case without derogatory comments about immigrants, illegal immigrants, people from mexico and elsewhere? >> i think the president has laid out the case. you know, it doesn't even need to come from the president himself. i think if you listen to those families that have been impacted by some of the violent crimes that have happened because of illegal immigrants that have come to this country and done those things, that -- >> although the numbers show no greater rate among immigrants than the average, broader american population.

>> and, quite frankly, no greater pain than to lose the life of your child at the hands of somebody who has broken the law to get here. if you listen to people who are in this economy affected the border -- i'm from arizona so i know about this firsthand. you listen to the impact that this happens on the border, not just in arizona but going into texas, you listen to the people who understand the impact of illegal immigration. it is not just the president who can make the claim about why we need to have immigration reform, why we have to stop illegal immigration. you can listen to the people directly impacted every single day by it. >> symone sanders, your response? >> so, jim, i absolutely think we can talk about immigration reform. we can talk about immigration policy in america that puts families first, which is currently not what we have, when families are ripped apart at the border. but i absolutely wish that the president could have a conversation about undocumented people in this country without using demeaning and derogatory terms. it is a slippery slope.

when you strip away humanity from someone, we are on a path to somewhere i believe we don't want to be as americans. >> paris, a forever dhs officials says the following, quote, the president has a very rude men tak rudimentary understanding of what the border is about. we had a comment from someone who supports president trump, who made the point that the deployment of national guard troops at the border that trump ordered, 4,000 troops, he calls it a colossal waste of resources. i wonder, do you believe it is a rhetorical argument that the president is making here, that he is making a practical argument about what is necessary at the border when you hear comments, criticism from his own supporters. >> in an interview on another network, the secretary of homeland security agreed 100% with the president and said, we do need a wall. we need to have a wall at the border. she stated that she is frustrated as well as the president is frustrated at the

pace by which we are getting this immigration issue under control. he is even more frustrated and she is frustrated because of the fact that the congress seems to say, i'm just going the keep pushing this down the line, i'm not going to take up this issue of daca and the rest of it because they want to go on vacation. no, they need to get back to work. >> wait, i want to know because you brought up daca. i believe congress does and has been trying to do something about deferred action for childhood arrivals. it was the president, aided and abetted by mitch mcconnell, that scuttled the original deal. now there are members of congress that have come together to put a deal on the floor, and republican leadership is refusing to bring it to the table. so i really believe that, one, this business about the wall, the fact of the matter is the majority of folks that come into this country undocumented are not coming, climbing over or under a wall but are coming on planes. the wall actually does not address our immigration issues. it does not truly lend to immigration reform.

so i think this is a platitude and a talking point from the campaign trail that does not translate into solid, good policy. >> there's another point made in "the washington post" piece, buts in the numbers, is that -- paris, i'm curious how you respond to this, it is about economic demand, some of the rise in arrests along the border of people attempting to come across, demand particularly from the agricultural industry, it is seasonal, and that kind of thing and the president has gotten pressure from agricultural companies to find a way the meet the demand. as you look at those numbers, in your view are they purely about whether the dhs secretary is delivering or is there another element here, an economic element to it? >> look, i believe today the secretary put out a statement saying that on the visa issue, the seasonal visa issue of 15,000 would be granted for that. so i think that you see the administration looking at the policy, looking at the implementation of it, and adjusting whether it needs to be adjusted to accommodate for the

economic need that's here in this country for some of those workers, especially as it relates to crabs and things over in maryland, some of the fishermen. i think at the end of the day what we cannot deny is the fact that these people are coming here illegally, and we are a country that is governed by rules of law. we've got to enforce the law. >> an unjust law is not a just law at all. >> we're out of time. simone -- >> clinton administration, it was just under the obama administration. >> i want to be very clear, the last thing i want to say is that this administration has literally -- it ripping apart families. they've lost almost 1500 migrant children that have come across the border and they don't know where they are. it is a travesty. our immigration policy needs to be better and families and kids deserve betterment i wish the administration would start looking at undocumented individuals as people and not just the others. >> okay. >> tell the congress to act. >> we have to leave it there. >> they failed to do so. >> thanks for taking the time.

2300 miles away from the kay ols of washington. >> here, all we can do is vote for someone hoping they can do something there. >> reporter: do you think he is a guy who can do that? >> i think he is, yes. >> reporter: her congressman, devin nunes. these registered republicans squarely in his corner, especially when he's an attack dog for trump. >> we have no evidence of collusion. we've turned up nothing. >> i like it that he does stick up for the president. i mean the president is our leader whether we agree with him or not. >> i appreciate his honesty and his being open with the people and with the presidents. >> reporter: not that they can all follow every detail. >> everybody is talking about russia, and i don't understand why. i really don't. >> reporter: but he still knows who he'll vote for in november. will you be voting for him again? >> yes. >> reporter: so even though you're frustrated and you feel it is a mess, you're still going to vote for him? >> sure, sure.

>> reporter: why is that? >> because at this point i'm going to play the party side. >> reporter: not all republicans in this district feel the same. some are beginning to question nunes and his unwavering support for the president. >> reporter: you voted for congressman nunes? >> i did. >> reporter: and this year? >> i'm not going to. i've already made that decision. his allegiance to donald trump seems to be overwhelming and that's one of the things in my own mind, you know, politicians shouldn't be doing. >> reporter: do you feel that he's more aligned to the president or to republican voters such as yourself? >> well, i would say i think he's more aligned with the president and feels responsible somehow to -- to protect him as much as he can. >> reporter: registered republicans outnumber democrats by 10 points in this heavily

agricultural conservative district. we found a rare democrat unleashing on nunes. >> i think he is a liar and a propagandist that will say anything. >> reporter: one growing resentment is that nunes's rising star and controversy has meant he's not as visible to his voters, one noting he doesn't remember the last time nunes was here in his clovis district office or held a town hall. but that may not matter. nunes won by more than 30 points two years ago and is considered likely to win again. >> oh, he'll get re-elected. >> reporter: a repeat? >> no question. >> reporter: without doubt. >> kim law joins us now. typically he has a strong position in this district, but i understand there's a democratic opponent that might make it closer than expected? >> yeah, i mean there is any opposition at all is what is notable here, in a district that is so republican. there is a democrat who managed, jim, to rake in more than a

million dollars just in the first quarter. we'res seeing outside opposition groups move into this district, again, almost a burgundy district here. there are street signs, billboards that are posted along the main highway, the heart of this district, that are anti-nunes signs. s onalso on a weekly basis ther are citizens gathering outside of his office just to protest. we have spoken to some of these citizens throughout the year that we've been covering this district, and i can tell you that these are people who live there. they are outraged, and all of this is driven by nunes and his involvement with the russia investigation. jim. >> kyung lah on the scene there. thanks very much. coming up, disgraced hollywood mogul harvey weinstein charged with rape. i'm going to speak with reason an farrell who first broke the story right after this. ♪ in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412.

these stories broke. you're in touch, i know, with many of the women including the two women involved in the cases today. certainly it cannot be a moment of joy, too much pain involved, but is there satisfaction? is there relief they're expressing and feeling now? >> i think all of those things, jim. you're absolutely right. it is a complicated day. i think it is bringing up a lot of emotions that are very powerful and complicated, buts for every woman who spoke against all of the odds, this is a moment of vindication. >> surprise as well? i mean disbelief even from the women that you talked to, that this powerful man, this titan really of the business fell? >> every time i had the conversation with a brave woman struggling with whether to speak about this, one of the facets of that conversation was even if i make all of these sacrifices and face all of this retaliation, is it ever going to change anything? the fact that not only are we seeing repercussions culturally,

but we're seeing signs of criminal accountability is extraordinary. i think, as you say, unexpected. >> now, there were a number of accusers of harvey weinstein. there were two cases involved here, one of lucia evans and another unnamed victim. why these two cases in particular? >> the police sources that i spoke to in this latest article that came out overnight talked about their long, pain staking process. i've stayed in touch with a lot of the sources over seven months of traveling around the world, talking to potential star witnesses thechlts a witnesses. these are cases they thought were extraordinarily well-corroborated. >> harvey weinstein's lawyer spoke after the hearing and i want to play you what he said and i want your reaction. >> my job is not to defend behavior. my job is to defend something that is criminal behavior. bad behavior, mr. weinstein did not invent the casting couch in hollywood, and to the extent

that there is bad behavior in that industry, that is not what this is about. >> did i just hear him there defend the casting couch, kind of dismiss this? >> well, you know, it is correct to say that these are two separate things. i would point out what the women and certainly that "new yorker" story that lucia evans was accusing harvey weinstein was not the casting couch. it was rape and sexual assault. harvey weinstein is entitled to a robust defense. in the press context we made sure he had fall and fair airing of his response to all of these allegations. he has always maintained all of these activities, now from dozens and dozens of women, every allegation he says is consensual. but obviously there's a very different story any time you talk to any of these women. >> you bring out something about the manhattan da here, they're in 2015 he went down this path and pulled back. now he is pursuing it, but that decision, one of the investigative team called it a corrupt decision not to proceed

in 2015. >> there was this instance where the nypd squad involved in a sting operation that secured direct evidence, audio of harvey weinstein admitting to a forcible touching, felt frustrated when charges didn't result. as you say, one of the officers involved said, you know, this was corrupt. what they did agree on was after extensive criticism, cyrus vance, the da, is behaving in a different way now. indeed, one of the women behind today's charges was cultivated by the da's office. >> you're not the judge, you're not on the jury, but looking at this and based on the people you are talking to, is there an expectation that harvey weinstein will go to jail? >> this is a case where there's a lot of evidence backing these women's stories. it is an investigation that took a long time and the investigators involved are proceeding very carefully. the reason you're seeing this happen today is because they feel they have a good case now. beyond that, you know, i can't handicap how this will play out. >> reasononan farrow, thanks for

rfk assassination, riots at dnc. a remarkable year in history. >> a remarkable year when the country didn't know what direction it was going in. it was a time of great unrest. the democratic party was imploding over vietnam. you had the draft. young people were debating with themselves about what was -- what is patriotism. do you support a war that no one supports anymore? what happens in 1968 is that for the first time the vietnam war is no longer popular. up to '68, more americans supported it than opposed it. at the same time you have a white nationalist leader named george wallace who is using white nationalist language and getting 13.5% of the popular vote. so that election was a key election, very close election. almost won by hubert humphrey, ultimately won by richard nixon. it is a period of time when the country was on a knife edge. it wasn't clear what direction it would go in. the fact we survived 1968 should be a source of hopeful optimism for people.

it was a tough year. >> is it overstating it to make parallels between '68 and the division we have in the country today? >> it is not stretching it. we don't know where the division, the anxiety of today will take us. but the country was divided, the country was fighting with itself. there was a lot of hatred in 1968. there was a lot of concern about our future, and there were a lot of people that didn't like the social and cultural changes that had occurred. feminism, they didn't like the civil rights changes. they wanted to move back to a different period. that was the national dialogue in '68 -- >> sounds familiar. >> -- and sadly we hear it again today. >> was there hope in '68 that we could draw on today? >> oh, at the end -- this is a four-part series. it is riveting. the last few minutes are about apollo eight. when we got to see our planet for the first time, and that leads to the environment -- the environmental movement started a little bit before, but for many americans when they saw our planet, they realized how fragile it was. so you want hopefulness, you

want the apollo eight story unfold and you realize even in a dark year like 1968 some good came out of it. >> so you're saying you have to watch from start to finish, right? because you're going to see all that led up to that. >> the drama -- even for people that remember 1968, you will be surprised. you will have forgotten the collusion between the nixon campaign and the south vietnamese that affected the election. you will have forgotten how close that election was, and you would have forgotten the beauty and the poetry and sadness of martin luther king and the funeral that followed. >> that train ride through the country with his body. thank you very. definitely worth watching. just ahead, anderson speaks with jimmy hack, seriously winded in a mission. first, though, a preview of

"1968." in the spring of '68, you have the most violent period of the entire war. >> i'll be so glad to go home. >> i've seen the promise land, but i want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promise land! >> martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight. >> for my parents' generation, king was the dream. and then he's gone. >> i am announcing today my candidacy for the presidency of the united states. >> oh, my god. senator kennedy has been shot. >> this was really the death. >> wallace knew how to get a crowd energized. >> police and demonstrator hustling over this busy intersection. "the graduate" is probably the biggest movie of the 60s. >> i hope to restore respect to the presidency. >> one of the most dramatic and

ko consequential years in history. >> "1968" starts sunday at 9:00. or treating a destination wedding to the sweet sound of pug bongos? because hotels.com lets me do me. where my dogs at? oh, here they are. hotels.com. you do you and get rewarded. take it away henry. hi, kids! i'm carl and i'm a broker. do you offer $4.95 online equity trades? great question. see, for a full service brokerage like ours, that's tough to do. schwab does it. next question. do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? a what now? a satisfaction guarantee. like schwab does. man: (scoffing) what are you teaching these kids? ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs, backed by a satisfaction guarantee.

i had a very minor fender bender tonight! in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part. like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. welcome back. recently anderson sat down with 25-year navy veteran jimmy

hatch, seriously wounded in combat during a mission to help rescue private beowe bergdahl i afghanistan. he's the author of "touching the dragon." >> you were severely injured in afghanistan while searching for bow bergdahl. i wonder as you look back now on that mission, do you see it differently than you did back then? >> no, i mean, i think behindsight wi-- hindsight with regard to the trial and how things came out -- you testified at the trial? >> yes. i felt like we were doing the right thing and i felt like that when we went on the mission for sure. >> bergdahl was charged with s desertion, dishonorably discharged. was that a just sentence? >> they asked me previously to

the prosecution, what would you like to see happen to him? i guess the only thing that really popped, i wanted to make sure he got a dishonorable discharge because in essence that's a life sentence. >> you refer to clean, shining edges of time. when i read that, it just really struck me and i keep thinking about it. what do you mean by it? is that what combat, being in the field feels like, clean, shiny edges of time? >> gun fights are definitely that. there's no personality conflict. it's you and your crew against them and, you know, the thing that you worry about the most in a gun fight isn't that you're going to get hurt or killed, it that you're going to do something wrong and one of your buddies is going to get hurt or killed. so having that pure motivational drive for just a few minutes is a gift. >> this is not a tell-all book about life on the battlefield. there's a lot of exciting stuff about missions you were on, but

it really is something for other people who are going through life's battles. >> you know, i just had really good people help me out. they stepped in. i didn't know what to do. i didn't know how to deal with life. i didn't really want to be alive. people -- at the end of the day people showed up. sometimes they knew what to say, most of the time they didn't. but they helped me get to where i needed to be so i could be an asset to society again. >> one of the things you wrote, i'm paraphrasing it, you had teammates on the battlefield and teammates back at home, both of whom saved your lives. the ones on the battlefield might get medals for it but the people back here will never get medals for it. >> a couple of the people, one i call the fly fisher and one the mechanic, those guys were effective the night i got wounded, stopping me from bleeding to death and later when it was embarrassing and i was

drunk and high and overdosing on my meds and putting guns in my mouth and creating havoc for everybody, they stepped in again. the first time what they did was heroic, they got some medals for it and not that that's what they were doing it for and the second too many th time they stepped in and they didn't get medals for it. i don't know how to phrase the strength it takes to do that stuff. >> the foundation you've started, i'm a huge fan of, you provide kevlar vests for working dogs, police dogs. most police departments can't afford to have kevlar vests for dogs that got killed in the line of duty. how important has that been for your recovery? >> it's everything. i needed that. i needed something to throw my

heart into. when i have buddies from my unit or former special operations unit, that's my advice. you need to find something that your heart's in. that's the way we've been in our whole lives. >> your book "touching the dragon," thank you. the cnn associate report "a double life: the spy inside al qaeda" hosted by christiane amanpour starts now. >> announcer: the following is a cnn special report. after al qaeda declared war on the west, this man was a rare thing, a western spy on the inside. >> i sad
