anderson cooper will moderate later tonight at 8:00 p.m.oming up, we're learning about an ominous warning of conditions at the colorado school where a deadly shooting occurred this week. one parent feared a repeat of columbine. uh-oh, looks like someone's still nervous about buying a new house. is it that obvious? yes it is. you know, maybe you'd worry less if you got geico to help with your homeowners insurance. i didn't know geico could helps with homeowners insurance. yep, they've been doing it for years. what are you doing? big steve? thanks, man. there he is. get to know geico and see how much you could save on homeowners and renters insurance. (michelle) i know what it's like to be in a financially struggling family. we had a lot of leftovers...[chuckles] i couldn't have asked for better parents, but like most people they didn't have anyone to teach them the best financial habits. so we changed that. as a financial health coach, i help people every day. i try to put myself in their shoes from my own experience. i connect to them becau

here is "60 minutes" correspondent anderson cooper. >> a bit coyne was worth less than a penny when laslofirst traded bitcoin for pizza nine years ago. we calculated if he had held on to all the bitcoin he used back then to get various items, much of it pizza, by the time of our interview those bitcoins would have been worth $800 million. >> yeah. >> so okay, so let me get this straight. you spent about $800 million on pizza. >> well, if you look at today's exchange rates. >> are there nights you wake up in a cold sweat where you think i could have had 800 million if i hadn't bought those pizzas. >> i think thinking like that is not really good for me. >> you can watch anderson cooper's full report on the wild world of crypto currency and bitcoin on "60 minutes" tonight at 7, 6 central. >> when we return, how two women are inspiring a new generation of firefighters. >> quijano: timely tonight when kishia clemencia and queen anunay joined the ranks of the fire department nearly three decades ago, there were more than 1500 firefighters. and just 35 of them were women. but now they're the ch

for example, i remember listening to anderson cooper with howard, very revealing talk about when he wascoming out, how he got out of the teenage modeling business at the age of 13 because a man had propositioned him and stuff you wouldn't get in a traditional interview. >> no, absolutely not. and partially e the long form helps that, but this book really is a vindication in a weird way of all the people for years said howard stern is needlessly crass, because he kind of agrees with them and says he learned to be after a health scare, after settling into the sirius format to be more purposeful and spending these long interviews drawing information out of people like anderson cooper. one of the best interviewer, hands down, and that's very apparent in this book. howard: he also talks about therapy and how that a made himless angry. -- less angry. he has more empathy for other people now. he also says he's embarrassed by some of his earlier antics when he's constantly fighting with the fcc. was this a political relaunch, that howard stern wants people to think of him differently? >> it's a

anderson cooper walked in and howard asked him why don't you color your hair, or whatever the hell stupid thing, and you would be saying, what am i doing here? it's just silly. when i came over to satellite and i was in psychotherapy and i describe in the book how i really enjoyed in psychotherapy being heard, especially by a man. and this relationship with this man listening to me kind of opened me up to, wait a second, why am i goofing on rosie o'donnell? i appreciate rosie o'donnell. >> you wanted to create that atmosphere almost on the air where somebody is being heard, where you were actually having a conversation. >> yes. if i enjoy that feeling of being heard, maybe my guests would be. and also it got philosophical for me. i kept seeing what was happening with social media and the art of conversation also dying and what i mean by that is everywhere you look now everyone is buried in their phone. we've become isolated. the art of conversation used to really be something. whether it was, you know, going back to the days of barbara walters, or edward r. murrow. >> it was an event. >>

anderson cooper's show last night. and anderson cooper asked him pointly, was she working for the fbi. he said, i can't answer that question. i can say she was a informant. the profile did not watch the fbi operation. it was in london. and the british government was notified about the operation. of course, i met the british government the same day i was meeting stephon helper and azra turk. this is the first time that they were involved in this. i think "the new york times" makes it that they were. it just makes sense but i could be wrong. >> okay. let's get to the real controversy here as to whether this was a good or bad thing. the president, by the way, tweeted yesterday, finally mainstream is getting in too hot to avoid pulitzer prize anyone, "the new york times" on front page finally details effort to spy on trump campaign. this is bigger than watergate but the reverse. this is the question i'm asking my audience this hour. is this nefarious? is this spying? or is this the sort of thing americans should be applaud

the air, i remember specifically going into therapy and saying to my therapist, i just speak to anderson cooper and wow. it's triggered a whole bunch of things in me. some of of the things you were saying bot your mother and your life after the death of your brother and i was asking you questions. and the most sincere way when i was interviewing you, i was actually trueing to learn from you. >> you talk about therapy and a lot of people don't talk about therapy. and you have been very up front. you did psycho analysis. sort of froidian at its height four day as week. that's an intensive form of therapy. did save your life? >> it did. it really e -- it wasn't as if i was suicidal or something along those lines. it made me recognize how appreciative i am of my life. it made me recognize all the good things i have and taught me how to be a man, and by man i mean i have children, how to relate to my children. how to by more involved in a conversation with you how to be appreciative of you guving me that interview. >> you said selfish jerk. >> but i was also naive. it wasn't like i was intentionally

they think it was all sort of a sham and so anderson cooper brought it up last night and he -- jamesinded viewers that it wasn't like when the dossier is handed over to the fbi they just take it hook, line and sinker and, well, case closed. they investigated everything halves in the dossier and corroborated most of it. though, the most salacious parts they were unable to corroborate. they have always been honest about that. they were honest to donald trump, president elect, about that, but james comey admitted he still has some doubt or i guess some suspicion at what the russians may have on president trump. so here is that moment about leverage. >> do you think the russians have leverage over president trump? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> do you think it's possible? >> yes. >> what did you hear? >> boy, this is where i think mr. comey slips. look, i read the entire transcript, i'm an early evening guy, i was sleeping during the actual event, i will confess that up front. i read the entire transcript and when i got to that point i stumbled. the fbi traditionally says here ar

so she tried to warn the world using anderson cooper's cnn broadcast.hey hooked up and she took it into a clinic where she talked about a little baby that she watched dying on the table. this was a kind of extraordinary moment where you realized that they exemplified what reporters are now living with right now. the idea of a journalist who put themselves under fire. we see this all the time. we hear these names, jamal khashoggi. we hear the name -- remember the woman who died in moscow, that she was just assassinated by putin in her apartment building. this year there are 50 for every type of issue. 700 that a died in the last few years. to be able to show this on a screen, to get back to this long texas side winding story, but to get back to back in to the bluw this on a screen has such power if you are lucky enough to have film makers who share that vision and to want to make this their mission. >> and, of course, their source was marie's fantastic "vanity fair" article. i love how you talk about flying to just days after marie colvin was killed in 2

i want you to listen to what the radio shock jock tells my colleague anderson cooper. >> well, firstall it's unbelievable to me. i've documented my thoughts about how this candidacy came about. it was a publicity stunt. >> you have no doubt? >> i have no doubt because i have some inside information. and the thing is that it started out with the art of the deal, the book, and it was a pr guy's idea. he said donald, what you need to do is we'll make a sort of a rumor that you're running for president. and donald's like oh. so all of a sudden he was being interviewed. the book goes right to number one. when he had a second book, he decided to start the rumor he was going to run for president, and then this time around in the last election, the apprentice ratings were not what they were. nbc was not going to give him a raise, and what's a better way to get nbc's interest? i'll run for president and i'll get lots of press. i think that's what happened. >> do you think he likes being president? >> i don't think he likes being president at all. i think he liked winning the presidency. he li

matter how dramatic op-eds he writes for "the new york times" or long infomercials he does with anderson cooper over at fake news cnn, he'll never escape simple truth and facts. he was a terrible fbi director. he abused his power. it's a good thing the president fired him. we know now he was involved in rigging the investigation into hillary clinton. he engaged in a witch-hunt against president trump. he anoint a partisan corrupt group of bureaucrats into his inner circle, almost all of which were fired or demoted, and willfully misled and committed a crime on the fisa court to spy on the trump campaign. we know he leaked sensitive government documents, against the law, because he was mad that he got fired, and leaked it to "the new york times" with the purpose of getting a special counsel appointed. now he's in serious legal jeopardy. james comey, ticktock. with the help of sarah carter, john solomon, so many others on this program, we've always worked to hold powerful unelected government officials accountable. the left is more interested in scoring cheap political points, dividing the countr

steve banon told anderson cooper, going after the president's taxes is a losing issue for democrats. >> i really don't think somebody's taxes from 30 years ago. we don't know if it's a summary of taxes, what he did on depreciation. he's a real estate developer. i don't think it's going to make a big deal or a difference. i think the issues are the issues of today. voters are going to say we thought of that in 2016. we voted for the guy or didn't vote for the guy. >> the subpoenas give the irs and treasury secretary until may 17 to give trump's tax information. >>> former white house counsel don mcgahn refused to publicly state the president did not obstruct justice. the request was one of many to paint the mueller report as a vindication of the president. the mouse subpoenaed mcgahn for documents and testimony. the white house instructed mcgahn not to provide documents. it's not clear whether mcgahn will testify. >>> this morning, we are hearing from the former top lawyer of the fbi who is countering conspiracy theories pushed by the president about why the russian investigation star

so one of the journalists who reported this story stopped by anderson cooper's show last night to breakt down for us. >> we're talking about a billion dollars over a decade. >> that's just for his core businesses. every year that we looked at he lost money, and the losses grew as he went further into the casinos and the losses that happen there. but it's unbelievable. we would have thought at least in one of the years that we saw, maybe the year he wrote "art of the deal" he would have made money, he didn't. owe was just bleeding money every year that we looked at. >> jimmy: you know, i'm starting to think that maybe he's been lying to us. so the times says year after year. look at this quote, year after year mr. trump appears to have lost more money than any other individual taxpayer. so not only is he not a good businessman. he is not a bad businessman. he is the worst businessman in america for years. the worst.

shan, listen to this exchange last night, again, from the great cnn town hall that my colleague anderson cooperd with james comey. here is this about the question of criminal intent. >> do you think he had criminal intent based on what you have seen now in the mueller report? >> it sure looks like he did in connection with a couple episodes, the direction to don mcgahn to get the special counsel fired is to my mind a flaming example. >> of corrupt intent? >> yes, of corrupt intent. >> does it, shan, to you to your expert legal eye look like corrupt criminal intent? because, you know, it was just yesterday that the president said the mueller report is the, quote, bible. >> well, it absolutely looks obstructionist. it's always hard to factor in to what the president is saying into any legal analysis. yes, that seems like a textbook example of trying to interfere with ongoing investigation. quite a few people including myself have said that from the very first hints of that. again, comey, whatever other questions there may be about his motivations and such, that analysis is quite mainstream in tha

one thing i thought was interesting was pete buttigieg did a town hall, and the host, actually, anderson cooperribbed him because he didn't have a single policy issue on his web site. and when pressed, mayor pete said, well, basically, i want to pack the supreme court and get rid of the electoral college. those issues, i don't think, are going to resonate with voters. but the perm connections -- and he's talked about his faith, those are less significant. jon: republicans have a tendency to take the sec place finisher of their presidential primary process and make that person the next nominee. democrats maybe not so much. bernie sanders, obviously, did very well the last time around, but he's not necessarily in -- well, he's not in first place right now. still, he says that he has changed the dynamic of this this race. listen. >> we came up short, yeah. we took on the entire democratic establishment. we took on the democratic national committee. we took on every democratic governor, took on every democratic mayor, and we ended up winning 22 states and 13 million votes and, in fact, bringing for

here is what one of the companies executives told anderson cooper the other day. >> if it is related to safety, we can and we do remove it. but when we're talking about political discourse and misinformation around that, we think the right approach is to let people make an informed choice. >> so she's distinguishing between misinformation that threatens someone's safety versus political propaganda. is that fair? >> i actually don't. facebook has said authenticity is a value that they share. they're taking down fake identities. apparently billions of fake identities they have taken down. the fact that they know about fake information and they're not taking that down. whereas, you know, there is information -- there are -- there are conservatives who criticized liberal critiques of trump. they make value judgments every single day. and if authenticity is a value, then they need to be clear that this is fake information that's communicating that there is something wrong with nancy pelosi. i sat across from nancy pelosi in one of these videos. she was far more coherent than the president

bernie sanders told anderson cooper he thinks that he is trying to egg iran here. do you question these moves by the trump administration? >> i actually do not question the intelligence at all. i can't say what it is. i do not question the intelligence at all. i do question our complete lack of strategy in the middle east. i think the president was wrong to get out of the iranian nuclear deal. we had absolutely no idea whether iran would comply. by the time donald trump came to office, every intelligence in the world said that iran had gone from being two months or three months away from breaking out a nuclear weapon to being more than a year away from breaking out with a nuclear weapon. that was the intelligence when donald trump blew up what he called the worst deal ever. now in this incredibly malevolent before the iraq war certainly took advantage of what happened when we invaded iraq. now the idea that they are also in a position to decide whether they want to nuclearize themselves again it is pitiful. my state is a third republican. i don't know how they're s
