7:31 am
understand their motion. however, if we insert into the equation an object about the size of this planet nine, everything then worked out perfectly. so that is what gives the suspicion that it reaeay does exist.t. >> so you don't see it, but you said it's all about the numbers. two scientists are playing around with numbers and they think what? >> they think, this doesn't add up. we need to ask some other folks to take a look at this for us and tell us if we are crazy. sure enough, that is what they gp the cal tech astronomers sai you know the idea about being another planet? it's not a crazy idea and it looks like it'sseally possibib. now what they will do is let this information out to the rest of the astro none cal community to figure out what is going on and make sure everything is correct and do the observations. >> some are stepping toward too say they are convinced? >> well, it is -- yes, they are pretty well convinced. now they need the visual evidence to back it up because, as i said, the numbers don't lie. >> how h hd is it toet the visual evidence?

this election is on track to break all spending records. it could likely cost several billion dollars by the end of last year, presidential campaigns and outside groups supporting them raised more than $600 million. between e ndidates, superer pacs and other committees, that number is going to explode. funded in part from donors. but with all of those groups asking for money, it can be confusing. julianna goldman is in washington with a cbs news investigation that reveals why it's important for donors to do their homework. >> reporter: behind@every politica solicitation, there is an entire industry of consultants who hunt for donors but times they few vars actually make it to specific candidates. now this technically isn't illegal because, believe it or
7:40 am
related purposes. >> a lot of people were older. >> reporr: kristinana and c.j were paid. >> whatever the number, whatever you felt like you could work out of them. >> reporter: they worked for this milwaukee-based telemarketing firm called american liberty group. public records show it was paeds 400,000 by a political action committee called conservative strike force. zubic sasa one donor said he was dying of cancer so she asked a supervisor for guidance. >> why didn't you tell him this is an opportunity to give one big last donation. >> reporter: give one last big donation before he dies?? >> yes. >> reporter: american liberty also solicited money from veterans on behalf of conservative strike force. cbs news obtained this script saying, can strikeforce count on your support of our veterans during thehe important times? but we couldn't find any money going to veterans causes.
7:41 am
found since 2011, conservative strike strikeforce and other pacs raised over $33 million large from republican retirees but only 8% went to the causes they claimed to support. the rest went to a group of companies who used those donatitis to make more money. is it a scam? >> oh, no question. you just can't say an organization out there that is spending 95% of its money just to raise more m mey and never has any intention of doing the things it's telling the people that it's talking to that it anythinglse. >> rorter: former virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli was the 2012 republican conservative strike force used his name in the fund-raisin pitches without his approval. he said they made false promises to voters so he sued them. >> they listed four thin. they didn't dony of those things. >> reporter: so when donors give to conservative strikeforce,

7:43 am
support and, and i'm sorry. i'm sorry for my part in that. >> reporter: kristina and c.j. both felt because they felt uncomfortable with what was happening. we asked mackenzie about the causes for veteran causes and said they were test calls andnd no money was raised. kristina verified payments but doesn't remember how much. already in 2016 some of mackenzie pacs have report spending hundreds of thousands of dollars largely from contacting voters across the country. >> wow. really disturbing. did you find, are these limited to conservates or does this also happen on the left too? >> reporter: while these kind of scams are most prevalent on the right it's not limited to conservative causes. bernie sanders campaign sent a cease and desist letter to a man running an attack and runnini sanders campaign and that man is connected to eight other pacs. a family connection to the white house will not land one very high profile graation
