this morning we're going to let him address all the questions that are out there in his own words as he joins us live. >> we have a lot of news to get to this morning. top story, once again trump, and we'll start with russia. russian officials confirming overnight that it was in fact a bomb that downed a passenger plane over egypt last month. nbc's thom costello has been on this investigation from day one. tom, what can you tell us. >> reporter: hi, savannah, egyptian sources are now telling nbc news that two suspects are being held and questioned in connection with this investigation. these are people who had access to the airport and presumably the plane. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin is vowing to take revenge against isis. a little over two weeks since that russian metro jetliner crashed in the desert in russia, investigators have determined a homemade bomb containing up to a kilogram of tnt brought down the

russian president vladimir putin this morning. >> translator: we won't wipe off tears over our hearts and souls. it will stay with us forever, but that will not prevent us from finding and punishing perpetrators. >> reporter: soon after the crash isis claimed it had brought down the plane. within days the u.s. and british government says their intelligence agencies had concluded it was likely a bomb, possibly an inside job. the attack coming just weeks after russia entered the war in syria. while moscow claims it's attacking isis targets, western governments say the targets instead seem to be groups opposed to the syrian regime. now with russia determining it was a bomb and isis likely planted it, vladimir putin is vowing revenge. >> translator: we should not apply any time limits. we should know them all by name. we will search for them everywhere, wherever they are hiding. we will find them in any spot on the planet and punish them. >> reporter: russia is offering $50 million for any information leading to the capture of those who carried out the attack.

meanwhile, vladimir putin has told his generals he wants suggestions on how to retaliate and where against isis. savannah? >> all right. tom costello in washington, thanks. shortly after labeling that plane crash a terrorist act russia launched new air strikes inside syria. france keyied out more air strikes there as well overnight as we learn more about the terrorists behind the deadly attacks on paris. and with isis now vowing an attack on american soil, new security measures are being taken across the country. we have complete coverage, including lester holt's interview with secretary of state john kerry, but let's start at the white house and nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. the paris attacks that french president hollande called an act of war president obama conceded were a terrible and sickening setback in the fight against isis, but the president's forcefully dismissing critics who are calling for the u.s. to change or expand its military campaign, insisting that sending in a large number of u.s. ground

troops would simply be a mistake. arriving in the philippines overnight, president obama's facing a serious test, how to respond to isis. that new propaganda video from the world's most brutal terror group warning the u.s. is next. like we hit france in paris this fighter says, we will strike america at its center in washington. the nation's capital on high alert with members of congress told to remain vigilant. >> i don't want to make everybody nervous, but i feel the same way i felt before 9/11, that something very well could happen here. >> reporter: ramped up security in new york, police there for the first time, deploying a new count terrorism unit. >> some what have we have to be also constantly focused on is not only our significant areas such as times square or many of the tourist attractions, our stadiums, our major events but the soft targets. >> reporter: also deploying overseas this carrier group from norfolk en route to the mediterranean previously planned, but its focus now isis.

acknowledge last week's vicious attacks demonstrate isis' advanced capabilities and a battlefield that's expanded beyond its middle east borders. >> i would anticipate that this is not the only operation that isil has in the pipeline. >> reporter: counterterrorism officials tell nbc news that isis recently launched a 24-hour help desk manned by a half dozen senior operatives, offering tech support to would-be terrorists on how to encrypt messages. defying growing calls for more action in syria the president sticking with his strategy and sounding defenseive. >> folks want to pop off and have opinions about what they think they would do, present a specific plan. >> reporter: if parisiennes are rattled but resilient, many americans are anxious that the u.s. remains an appealing target for terror. >> the scariest thing about stuff like this is what can you do to stop these guys? >> reporter: this military fight

into a political fight over syrian refugees with at least 26 governors, almost all of them republican, vowing to block any syrian refugees from entering their states, and in some cases after a strict security review. it's not entirely clear if the states are even allowed to refuse refugees. president obama is standing by his plan to resettle 10,000 refugees in the u.s. matt and savannah. >> peter alexander at the white house, peter, thanks very much. >> let's go to the piece of this in paris of the investigators on the trail of the terrorists behind of the attacks and following new clues. let's go to nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely. bill, good morning. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the very latest news is that police have found two hotel rooms outside paris that may have been used by the killers before the massacres. they were booked in the name of a suspected accomplice salah abdeslam who is now on the run. it's now believed police have

rooms and amid all the drama it's easy to forget about the victims, some of who we can see caught on camera just before this whole horror began. poignant photographs taken minutes before the massacre, hundreds of jubilant fans waiting for the band, unaware that gunmen were coming to kill them. gunmen who may have used this car found by police and now being examined. it's not exactly back to normal. how could it be? but they have reopened the roads here around the bataclan theater where 89 people were murdered. many of those who were inside last friday night are still in hospital in critical condition. this is the man france believes was behind the massacres. this isis propaganda video is said to show abdelhamid abaaoud, once jailed in belgium and now believed to be in syria. he was close to at least two of the attackers. french police carried out

suspected isis supporters. french warplanes launched more attacks on isis positions in raqqah, syria. the french president vowing to destroy isis and ordering a french aircraft carrier closer to iraq and syria. secretary of state john kerry meeting him today. isis, their common target. >> they are feeling it today, felt it yesterday and felt it in the past weeks. >> reporter: france's muslim leaders condemn the killings. they honored the dead and sent a message to isis. >> whatever you do, no matter how long it takes, we will beat you. >> reporter: this is a city of high emotion and many tears, still mourning the dead of 19 countries including the u.s. most of them young and murdered in what france calls an act of war. now, in that video of the search of the hotel room you may have noticed some syringes. it really isn't clear what they were used for, if indeed they

sometimes liquids can be used as an accelerant. police are still investigating the objects they found in that room, and they are still searching for that man, police across europe and intelligence agencies across the world, searching for the wider network behind this. matt? >> a lot of work to be done. >> bill, thank you very much. then there's belgium. it remains a focal point of this investigation. the alleged mastermind of the attacks was born there, and one neighborhood could hold more keys to the investigation. nbc's keir simmons is in brussels. keir, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. overnight the belgians have raised their threat level but there are multiplying questions for the authorities here. belgian judiciary source tells nbc news that they now believe that think main suspect who is still on the loose was picked up in paris by people from here and driven back here the morning after the attacks.

houses in a suburb of brussels. elsewhere a suspect is led away. yet perhaps the most wanted man in europe, salah abdeslam evaded police again. >> police services thought yesterday that the person was in the building where they were looking for. apparently it wasn't the case. >> reporter: salah fled the paris attacks, yet he and others suspected of the killings have services radar. guns and explosives used in january's "charlie hebdo" magazine massacre were reportedly acquired in belgium. later that money a ten-man terror cell fought with belgian police. automatic weapons and chemicals to make explosives were found. >> this group was about to commit terrorist attacks in belgium. >> reporter: and in an isis propaganda magazine in february the reported belgian linchpin behind the paris attacks bragged

i was able to stay in the homeland, plan operations and leave safely. overnight belgium raised its terrorism threat level, but the question this morning if more had been done earlier, could paris have been prevented? the world is asking did belgium let this happen? >> belgium has taken the necessary measures and has raised the level, for example, after "charlie hebdo." >> reporter: but as the days and hours go by, it looks increasingly like that main suspect salah may have escaped, and matt and savannah, get this. a police chief from here before the attacks said in an interview that here they rely on american intelligence to help them monitor internet communications and that they can only put a few suspects under surveillance at any one time. >> keir simmons in brussels where so much of the attention is being focus. keir, thank you very much. >> secretary of state john kerry

is now in paris. he's meeting with the french president francois hollande this morning vowing to stand shoulder to shoulder with france. secretary kerry also sat down with "nbc nightly news" anchor lester holt who joins us this morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. secretary kerry meeting with president hollande, came here to offer his condolences to france and also announcing that president obama will be meeting with president hollande to discuss further actions, further isis strategy, and the secretary and i talked about that strategy in the context of isis' growing strength. mr. secretary, we learned from russia today that it was in fact a bomb that took down the metrojet over egypt a couple weeks ago. isis claimed responsibility. isis apparently behind the paris bombings. these are capabilities that no within apparently knew they had. how could the u.s. and the west's expectations of isis be so wrong?

we've intercepted one of them. we had a bomb that didn't go off in times square, if you'll recall a couple years ago. this is within the total gasity and nobody should express shock that terrorists had the ability to kill people somewhere. >> reporter: secretary kerry also reacting to the propaganda video released by isis yesterday that threatened washington. once again he said it's not new. we've heard these sorts of things before and did not have any extra concern based solely on that communication. of governors in the united states who are refusing or say refugees. he says we certainly have the right to ask the questions about the vetting process, but he says as a country he believes we can't turn our back on those who are fleeing tyranny and terror back to you. >> tlots talk to secretary kerry about and i know you've got more of your interview tonight on "nbc nightly news. let's turn for more

perspective with michael hayden, director of the cia under george w. bush and now with the chertoff group, a risk management advisory group. good to see you. >> good morning, savannah. >> a lot of people are surprised and the level of coordination, sophistication, planning and the fact that french intelligence apparently had no heads up, and a lot of people in this country are afraid, sir. are we just as vulnerable? are we not able to detect a plot like this? >> we're vulnerable but we're not just as vulnerable. we've got certainly advantages, geography for one. we're more distance. demographics, our demographics are quite different and we've actually get a pretty good history of assimilation which the french and some of our other european allies do not have, but that said the risk here in the united states is not zero, and you can understand why american leaders, the attorney general, director brennan yesterday were quite forceful we've got to be at the top of our game going forward.

>> director brennan was pretty blunt saying because of intelligence disclosures, didn't name edward snowden, because disclosures like this and hand wringing on the legal and policy side of things rightly or wrongly has made it harder for intelligence officials to track alleged terrorists. >> that's absolutely correct. look, mr. snowden has pushed out legitimate american secrets about how we collect legitimate foreign intelligence. he's pushed that out into the public domain for the last two and a half years. of course it's had an impact on our ability to detect the kinds of things that happened in paris last week. >> general, what do you think about this move by -- a little more than half of the u.s. governors to say we don't want syrian refugees in our states' borders, setting aside whether or not they have the power to make that happen. do you think that's the right call in. >> no, i don't think it's a right call. it's an understandable call, savannah, and in fact i'm hopeful that the governors are using that as a tool to put leverage on the federal

government that they do this in a very, very careful way. look, if you're asking me what i would recommend if i were still in government, i would say we need to do the correct thing in a humanitarian sense, and then our executives at the state or federal level need to poke their fingers into the chest of people like me in saying, now it's your job to make sure nothing bad happens. i think that's the balance that we have to strike. >> before i let you go, as you well know in, some circles there have been calls for an increased ground troop presence, much more massive scale than what we see right now in syria and iraq to battle isis. the president has said that he is not going to do that, and he says his own military advisers are against it. what say you? >> savannah, the historical record is quite clear. his secretary of state, secretary of defense and cia director several years ago proposed a far more robust course of action in terms of arming the syrian opposition. >> what about right now?

>> right now, savannah no, one is calling for american maneuvers in the iraqi or syrian desert. what they are calling, i think our current effort is underresourced and overregulated, and so i think we could stand more resources there, not maneuverable brigades, more resources, and we need to take some of the limits off of the capacities we now have there. one example, savannah, very quickly. 36 hours ago we destroyed about 100 tanker trucks that the islamic state was using to fuel their treasury. we could have struck those trucks on thursday. the fact that we struck them on sunday suggests the kinds of limits that our forces had been operating under. i expect those limits to be lifted. >> just the beginning of a longer conversation for sure. general michael hayden, always good to get your perspective, appreciate it. >> thanks, savannah. lots of other news happening. weather making news. 20 tornadoes. >> at least 20, possibly up to 40, and we look for a repeat of that possibly again today, and we've got a blizzard going on

right now in colorado. this is denver's international airport. over 300 flights cancelled yesterday and more probably can't ed today. driving conditions dangerous at best. hazardous at the least, and it's going to continue again today into the afternoon. and we've also got tornadoes in kansas. you can take a look at the huge wedge tornado. in texas this halliburton plant was destroyed, a big chemical leak going on. a lot going on. get to the maps to show you what's going on. you can see the snow storm going on right now. we've got at least 19 million people under some sort of winter advisory, blizzards for northeastern kansas, colorado, southwestern nebraska. look at snowfall totals. we're talking upwards of 20 inches of snow possible. blizzard warnings until 2:00 p.m. we've also got this line of storms. we put the future cast into motion. i have not seen this solid a line in a long time, an intense low moving northeastward. flash flood watches for 25 million people.

look at this line of strong storms from chicago all the way to new orleans into tomorrow morning. we've got 18.5 million people at risk. wind damage likely and gusts of over 75 miles per hour and the rainfall. that's why we have flash flood watches in effect. upwards of 7 inches going from jackson, mississippi, all the way to parts of georgia and the carolinas. that's what's going on. we're going to get a look at your local >> jeremy: good morning.

and has the rest of the story. erica, good morning. >> reporter: yes, savannah. nearly three minutes of video is heart wrenching and it shows the activity happening just outside the bataclan theater over my shoulder in the side street there, but as you pointed out in that video is also a really poignant story of survival and ultimately rewarding. i do want to warn you, some of this video may be tough to watch. chaos in the streets outside the bataclan theater. people pouring from the side door of the concert hall desperate to get away from the horror. the sound of gunfire heard clearly. people seen dragging bodies. a man who appears to have been strug in the leg hobbling away from the scene, and hanging from a second story window a woman. sir, sir, she says, i'm pregnant. as the woman dangles, slowly inches over to a man above her video pans to the scene below.

sounds of more gunshots. and as people rush from the scene, the sound of their footsteps echoing through the street. again, the woman pleads for help. after nearly two minutes hands reach out to pull her to safety. i held out my hand says 34-year-old sebastian who shared his story with french radio. he said she was going to let go. one can't watch someone die before their very eyes there. had already been too much of that. after saving her. the two were separated. over the weekend this message began making the rounds on twitter. the sender asking for retweets to help the woman in the video find the man who saved her life just to say thank you. it didn't take long. a tweet confirming she had found the man and noting, quote, the rest of the story is theirs.

now both the woman and sebastian have asked for privacy. they are not doing any more interviews at this time. sebastian did say in that interview he feels really lucky to be alive. we should tell you though many people rallying around it and a lot of people heard of the story and they were very emotional, guys and not ready to talk to us on camera about how they felt. story. >> erica, thank you so much. a check of the weather now from al. >> next several days we'll be watching pacific moichg, flash flood watches and flood watches as well. rainfall amounts, upwartsds of 7 to 8 inches. risk of landslides, a big, big problem there, and we're also watching this area down through

7:39. we're back with a "today" exclusive. charlie sheen is known to millions for his award-winning body of work on television and in the movies, but this morning he's here to talk about something immensely personal and charlie, good morning. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> how you been? much. >> it's been my pleasure. we've spoken a lot. >> let me say first and foremost, your producing team >> thank you. >> as of you. >> thank you. we have absolute compassion and thank you. >> thank you. rumors. >> sure.

>> out there right now, and you would like to address them head on. >> i have to. >> so i'll give it to you. >> i have to i'm here to admit that i am in fact hiv-positive, and i -- i -- i have to put a stop to this -- this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of subtruths and very harmful and material stories that are about the -- threatening the health of so many others which couldn't be farther from the truth. >> i want to talk about those in a second. how many people have you told about this? >> i've told enough that i trusted to be in the position in the situation that i'm in today. >> people you thought you could trust at the time? >> absolutely, absolutely, yeah. >> how long have you known about this? when were you diagnosed? >> roughly four years ago, yeah.

it -- it -- it started with what i thought based on this series of cluster headaches and insane migraines and sweating the bed completely drenched, two, three nights in a row, that i was emergency hospitalized. i thought i had a brain tumor. i thought it was over. after a battery of tests and spinal taps and all that crap they walked in the room and said, boom, here's what's going on. it's a hard three letters to absorb, you know. it's -- it's a turning point in one's life. >> four years you have been trying to keep this secret. >> yeah. >> and you have said that you have been the victim of betrayal and extortion. you told me that a lot of people have actually demanded money to stay silent about this. >> that is true, yeah, yeah, and i have -- i have paid those people, not that many, but -- but enough to where it is

>> how many people have you paid? >> geez, i don't want to guess wrong, but -- but enough to bring it into the millions, and that's -- that's -- what people forget is that's money they are know. they think it's just me, but i've got five kid and a granddaughter, you know. >> you wrote this in a letter and shared it with me. in and around this perplexing and difficult times i dazedly chose or hired the companionship of unsavory and inacceptied types, i'm imagining prostitutes. regardless of their saltless reputations i led with condoms and honesty when it came to my condition and then a deluge of extortion took center stage in this circus of deceit. were these people that you had had sexual contact with and were claiming that you had transmitted the virus to them, or were these people who simply found out about your status and

were threatening to tell the world? >> more of the latter. them. they were -- they were deep in my inner circle and i thought that they could be helpful, and instead they -- as i wrote, my trust turned to their treason. >> are we talking about lawsuits filed against you, charlie, or are we talking about shakedowns? >> we're talking about shakedowns, shakedowns, yeah. >> is it true that on at least one occasion you had a prostitute come over to your house who after a sexual encounter went into your bathroom and with a cell phone took an image of your anti-retroviral medications. >> that's correct, yes. >> and then threatened to sell that image to the tabloids. >> yes. this is after -- after i had told her that -- thank you for your time. we're not going to see each other anymore. it was after she spent the day,

store buying me, you know, herbal medications, you know. >> are you still taking -- >> to help me. >> are you still paying some of these people? >> not after today i'm not. >> so you think that by speaking this truth you'll get out from under that. >> that's -- that's my goal. it's -- that's not my only goal. we'll talk more about that later, but, no, i -- i think i today. >> and it's interesting because these people kept coming over to your house. they kept gaining information that they then used in your words to extort you, and yet you continued the behavior. you kept bringing these unsavory types. >> which is my part. >> which is my part. >> to your house. why would you make the same mistake over and over again? >> because i was so depressed by the condition that i was in that i wasn't -- i was doing a lot of drugs and drinking way too much and i was making really bad decisions. that part i own, 100%. >> have you knowingly or even

the hiv verse to someone else since your diagnosis? >> impossible, impossible. >> we're going to talk to your doctor with you in a second. >> about that, good. >> have you had unprotected sex on any occasion since your diagnosis? >> yes, but the two people that i did that with were under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time. >> have you since the time of your diagnosis told every one of your sexual partners before you had a sexual encounter that you were hiv-positive? >> yes, i have. >> no exception. >> no exceptions. >> have you been involved -- if you look at the cdc website and they talk about the transmission of the -- of hiv, they talk about risky behaviors. would it be fair to say that you have been involved in all of those risky behaviors? >> negative. you're talking about needles and that whole mess, no, definitely not. >> do you know how you

>> sitting here today, not no. >> i want to read you something me. you said this is after the time of your diagnosis. the personal disbelief, karma, confusion shame and anger led to a temporary and yet abysmal descent into profound substance abuse and fathomless drinking. was this that whole tiger blood winning period in your life? was that a meltdown that we saw a reaction to your diagnosis? >> i -- i wish i could blame it on that. that was more of a 'roid rage, but this was -- this was on -- on the heels of that, he had me say, yes. >> and when you say shame in that, the stigma that is attached to in diagnosis is one of the worst parts about it. people don't take action. they don't get help because of that stigma. >> sure. >> do you still feel that stigma?

>> not anymore i don't, no. i don't, no. i -- i have a responsibility now to better myself and to help a lot of other people and hopefully with what we're doing today, others may come forward and say thanks, charlie. thanks for -- thanks for kicking the door open, you know. >> you're going to stick around with you. we're going to sit down with your doctor who has been treating you over t people don't have to think about where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions--

they were booked in the name of the suspected accomplice, a man called salah abdeslam, and while searching the rooms police syringes. not quite clear what they were used for. those searches, we understand, have now finished, but of all this drama it is easy to forget about the victims, some of whom were caught on camera just before this whole horror began. poignant photographs taken minutes before the massacre. hundreds of jubilant fans waiting for the band, unaware that gunman are coming to kill them, gunmen who may have used this car found by police and now being examined. this is the man france believes was behind the massacres. this isis propaganda video is said to show abdelhamid abaaoud, once jailed in belgium, now believed to be in syria. french police carried out another 120 raids overnight on

temps this afternoon only in the upper 40s. yesterday afternoon we reached the low 60s. we won't do that again. boston this afternoon 47. much the same tomorrow. lots of sunshine. cool. upper 40s. and for the remainder of the week, a lot of clouds on thursday with rain arriving by thursday evening. it starts to warm up, though, no wintry precipitation. friday morning rain, clouds in the afternoon, near 60 by friday >> that's your latest weather. matt. >> thank you very much. now more of our exclusive conversation with charlie sheen. in our last half hour he shared a very personal announcement, that he is hiv-positive. he decided to speak out now in part because, he says, he didn't want to live in fear that someone else would divulge it. charlie is back along with his personal if itition dr. robert hinkdsa, professor of medicine at ucla and we'll warm some of our conversation may contain adult subject matter. before i get to you, doctor. you made this announcement in

the last half hour. are you feeling relief? >> more than i thought possible. >> you feel good about it? >> very much so. >> doctor, how long have you been working with charlie in. >> known charlie probably five, six years. >> this is an educational moment. we are in 2015 and while no one wants a diagnosis of being hiv-positive, people live long, normal, productive lives while they carry the virus. what is his exact medical condition now, and the we should mention charlie has given you permission to talk about this. >> charlie has contracted the hiv virus. he was immediately put on treatment, strong antiviral virus. cure yes. it suppressed the virus to the point that he's absolutely healthy from that vantage, and my biggest concern with charlie as a patient is substance abuse and depression from the disease more than what the hiv virus can do in terms of shortening his

>> let's take those things one at a time. so you're saying to me at moment charlie has an undetectable level of the virus in his blood. >> that's absolutely correct. >> there's been some media outlets over the past couple of days that charlie has aids. >> charlie does not have aids. aids is the condition when the hiv virus markedly suppresses the immune system and you're susceptible to rare difficult cancers and charlie has none of those. he is healthy and does not have -- does mott have aids. >> some very important information now. charlie said in our last half hour that it is impossible for him to transmit this virus to someone else. i assume you meant through even unprotected sex? >> i meant through protected sex. >> through protected sex. >> is that accurate? >> individuals who are optimally treated and have undetected viral loads and who responsibly use protection have an incredibly low, incredibly rare to transmit the virus.

we can't say that that's zero but it's a very, very low number. >> because in checking with the cdc they say the virus can still hide in genital fluids and the level of virus can go up and down between testing. is that fair to say? >> that's fair to say. however, if someone is conscientious, and we have done repeated labs every several months over the last four years, the odds of variations in between drug tests and lab tests would have to also be expected to be very, very low. >> charlie, are you taking the so-called triple cocktail? is that what medication you're on? >> everything. >> how many pills are you taking each day? >> four. >> are you worried -- you talked about his drug abuse and alcohol -- first of all, are you still doing drugs? >> no, i'm not. >> are you still drinking? >> still drink a little bit, yeah. >> are you worried that an impaired state that charlie will simply lapse on taking his medication. it impairs your judgment. can he be trusted, and i'm talking with him right here, can he be trusted to continue to

take that medicine on a regular basis if he continues to drink? >> worried is the right wore. we're petrified about charlie and so, so anxious that if he was overly depressed, if he was abusing substance, he would forget these pills, and that's an incredible worry and magically somehow in the midst of incredible personal mayhem he's managed to continue to take these medications. >> over the course of four years you've never missed taking your medications. >> i have not, no, never once. >> a lot of people will say you should stop drinking. you stopped doing drugs. >> perhaps freedom of today might lead to that as well. >> doctor, i appreciate your information. charlie, you're going to stick around. >> a little more of this right after this break. >> thank you, matt. >> we're back right after this. my opioid pain medication leaves me feeling locked up! millions of people are estimated to suffer from opioid-induced constipation, oic, caused by the opioids they use to manage chronic pain. really? yes.

constipation. but they can also block activity in the bowel. it's been a real struggle you ready to paint a different picture? yeah! talk to your doctor about oic and prescription treatment options. i'm on it! grandma is so happy to be here for your very first christmas. i hear you' re quite the expert in the morning. let me show you how grandma does it. he was a little boy. this is your dad at my house, where he had his first christmas. thanks for making the coffee. well look who' s up. i' m really glad you' re here mom. me too.

something deeply personal saying for the last four years you've known that you're hiv-positive. are you expecting by talking about this to face a barrage of lawsuits because you've also been extremely sexually active in that period of time. do you expect a lot of lawsuits to be leveled in your direction. i mean, i would be predicting the future and presuming the worst. i can only imagine based on what i've already experienced, what's already come down the pike, an i've been forced to deal with. i'm sure that's next, sure. >> what about criminal charges in 5 states if you are someone who is hiv-positive and you have sex with someone else without divulging it. you can be charged with a crime. >> this i completely understand and i completely respect that but having divulged it is the reason that i'm in the mess that i'm in with having all the -- all the shakedowns, you know.

so -- so, i mean, i -- again, i can't sit here and protect against all of that or completely worry about it. i can only sit here with you and tell my truth. >> you talk about all the shakedowns and you've told me it's upwards of $10 million that you have paid out over the last several years. what's your financial situation now. you were once the highest paid actor on television. >> it's not great. my finances are not great. it will be great again if -- i'm a survivor. i -- i've been up. i've been done and i've been poor, unemployed. it's another chapter in my life it's not real -- it's not commerce driven. it's -- it's socially driven. >> you've got several children that range in age from very young to, you know, young adults. >> yes. >> have you told them all. >> not the very young ones, but have you told the ones who are old enough to understand it.

>> i told my oldest daughter cassandra the other night and i felt bad. it hit her hard, but she recovered, and she's tough like her dad and she said -- she said, wow, i said, sweetie, i'm -- i'm -- i said i'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner, but i -- it didn't seem like you could do anything for me and i didn't want to burden you with all the stress, you know, but she was a rock star about it. >> there have been reports that your ex-wife denise richards knew about this for a while. is that true? >> that is correct, yes. >> what about your other ex-wife, did she know about it? >> she has indeed. >> you talked to her about if. >> yes. >> you were married to her until 2011. >> correct. >> you told me you've known about this diagnosis for four years. >> right. >> that takes us back to the same time period. >> sure. >> when you got your diagnosis did you call her and immediately tell her she should be checked. >> absolutely, yeah. absolutely. >> what do you think, charlie,

what do you expect them to be? >> i mean, you can never really predict how the media is going to roll on something. i would have hope or faith that it would be a lot more forgiving and a lot more supportive than -- than some of the garbage i was reading in the last couple of days. frankly i don't think it can get any worse than that. >> what did you read in the last couple of days and i've read a lot of it in the tabloid media in particular. that stood out most to you and offended you the most. >> that i was intentionally -- i knew hi aids and i was intentionally spreading it, and i just thought, wow, that's -- that's -- damn, that's far from the truth as anything could be. >> but is it fair to say that have claimed that. >> there have been people that you know personally and intimately. >> sure. >> who have claimed that. >> they will have to reveal a whole lot of proof, you know, because it's just not there.

>> over the course of the last four years, charlie, anyone successfully sued you or settled a lawsuit against you related to this. >> not for any contamination. not for any transference, but just for threats of revealing my -- my condition. >> let me read you some. reaction that we're now getting on social media. this is just a very quick snapshot. laura tweets you have brought me to tears. i'm profoundly touched by your honesty and that you took the high road against the losers. debby tweets, charlie, for the first time in a long time you can be proud of yourself. >> wow. >> now you're really winning. good. >> that's lovely, thank you. >> someone in south africa. that's how you own your truth. good on you. charlie sheen respect. and jack tweets i've always

feel sorry for him, but his lifestyle kind of left him open for something like this. >> that's not completely inane or a crazy statement. i have to look at both side, but i'm going to -- i'm going to ride this wave of -- of support and, you know, if there was one guy on this planet to contract this that's going to deliver a cure it's me. >> yeah, it's me. >> i mean, seriously, seriously. >> you want to be that guy. you want to be a messenger. are you going to now go out there and make this your cause? is that your intention? >> i'm not going to be the poster man for this. but i will not shun away from responsibilities and opportunities that -- that drive me to help others and -- and, you know, deliver a cure.

>> i will -- yes, but i will -- i will pick my spots carefully and respectfully. >> let me ask you about working in your career. you had a show cancelled a couple years ago. you are imagine in need of working again and you mentioned to me your financial situation is not that great. how do you think this revelation might impact your status or standing in hollywood? >> as we speak i have the chairman of sony excited about doing a show again. i have a couple of films lined up that i could, you know, put start dates on. there's a lot of people and we've even told people that we can do this and before i go on privately, of course, and they said, well, of course. you know. still the best guy for the job and so it's -- thus far there's been no -- no resistance. >> you said to me a second ago absent the hiv diagnosis that

you went through that meltdown for other reasons. >> sure. >> how far along are you in relieving yourself of those demons? >> i think very far down the road, yeah. there's a lot about that that i'm not proud of. you know, you can only hear winning in the streets so many times. i pissed off a really good opportunities, but, no, i'm -- as i said, you know, i'm -- i'm approaching a time of more of a philanthropic approach in my life, you know. >> i mentioned you wrote a letter that you shared with me over the last day or so. we're going to take that letter, and the we're going to put it up on our wednesday sglit that would be fabulous. >> so others can see it. charlie, i really appreciate you sharing your story with us and wish you the very best. >> thank you. appreciate it. it's a pleasure. >> thank you. we'll be back after these
