7:03 am
>> oh, yeah. captioning funded by cbs >>welcome to "cbs this morning." mitt romney says he's ready to start a new campaign to force president obama out of office. >> as romney gets closer to clinching the nomination, his chief rivals are acknowledging the inevitable. chip reid is in washington. >> reporter: it's still not official but most republican insiders say there's no doubt mitt romney will be the nominee. >> together we are going to win on november 6th. >> reporter: mitt romney declared victory tuesday night not just in states holding primaries but in the battle for the republican presidential nomination and then took aim at president obama. >> the last few years have been the best that barack obama can do. it's not the best america can
7:04 am
do. tonight is the beginning of the end of the disappointments of the obama years. >> reporter: romney's five state sweep locked in his standing as gop nominee in waiting but he still needs 298 more delegates for it to be official. polls show most republicans falling in line. 54% say they want romney to be the nominee. even romney's former rival, rick santorum, offered support last night. >> he's the person that is going t go up against barack obama. it's pretty clear. we need to win this race. >> is that an endorsement unless i'm mishearing things, you just endorsed mitt romney? >> you can call it whatever you want. >> reporter: that's as close as santorum got to endorsing romney and newt gingrich appears to be on the verge of dropping out and getting behind romney. >> we'll about how we can be the most helpful to this country.
7:05 am
if romney ends up as nominee, every conservative in this country has to be committed to defeating barack obama. >> reporter: this morning gingrich unofficially conceded to romney and here in washington, d.c., the republican national committee announced it will begin synchronizing its operation with the romney campaign. charlie and erica? >> chip reid, thank you. with us now major garrett, white house correspondent for national journal. welcome. >> good morning. >> tell me what mitt romney has to do now after a bruising primary battle to reset himself and his campaign for a general election? >> what romney is going to spend the next 60 to 90 days doing, what's he doing in new york today? raising money. he'll spend time raising money. he has to take over the republican national committee and put people in there and organize a national campaign. when romney would go to the primary states, he would take his campaign and move it to the next place and leave nothing
7:06 am
behind unlike president obama in 2008, he would leave people behind and build infrastructure out from there. romney doesn't have that luxury. think about vice presidential nominee and create a message that says, look, obama can say whatever he wants about me. he's been the president for 3 1/2 years. that's his record. he's going to have to defend it if he wants to be re-elected. >> make obama the issue. >> absolutely. >> who is the likely vice presidential nominee? how much narrowing down have they done? >> i'm as far out on a limb as anyone writing in washington can be. i said 2 1/2 weeks ago he'll pick rob portman. i don't know that for a fact. the way he makes decision, tells me it will be rob portman. it emphasizes the central message of the campaign. an expert on taxes and budget. he's not exciting. there will be no surprise stories if you pick a guy like rob portman and the essence of mitt romney's message is i need
7:07 am
an acceptable alternative and that is rob portman. i said it will be square is squared. >> there's also talk that mitt romney does -- not that you don't want someone with surprises, he needs something to get the energy going as we see president's approval rating now up above 50%. >> the president is in a good position. good position nationally and good state by state in crucial swing states. the president is the odds on favorite. is this economy terrible enough? i don't think it's terrible. most americans don't think it's terrible. they are not satisfied. it's going to be that question, what is your level of satisfaction and belief in the future? mitt romney is going to try to crystallize that message. you can't graph charisma on a party nominee. they'll rise or fall on their agenda. if you try to incorporate it from someone else, you are only highlighting in my opinion the fact that you don't have it.
7:08 am
>> is mitt romney a better candidate today? is he somehow after all of this able to overcome some of the reservations about him in terms of message and in terms of how he conducts himself? >> mitt romney is a weak front runner. he had a difficult primary process. he comes out under water. his approval rating is lower than it was when it started. higher negative than he had when he started. he still is in this race. he's getting better as a candidate. as i watched governor romney throughout his career success breeds success. he's that kind of guy. you reach metrics and levels of success, your confidence builds. you see a better candidate. good enough? depends on what the voters say. there's a central question the obama campaign has to argue about what they'll say about mitt romney. now they say two things right next to each other. he has no core and a flip-flopper and right wing i
7:09 am
idelog. secret service says all 12 agents linked to a prostitution scandal in colombia, eight of those have lost their jobs. bill plante is at the white house. >> good morning. good morning in the west. the secret service has now dealt with all 12 of the people involved in that scandal. this as the agency's ultimate boss, homeland security secretary janet napolitano testifies today before a senate committee. for the first time since the day after the incident came to light in colombia, president obama addressed the scandal on an interview with jimmy fallon. >> the scandal happened with secret service. >> reporter: that distraction may near an end. mark sullivan went to capitol hill on tuesday to report on his investigation and to brief senators on the sanctions handed
7:10 am
down. of the 12 people being investigated in connection with the prostitution scandal, six have resigned. one has been fired but can still appeal. another will keep his job but has had his security clearance suspended and three have been cleared of serious wrongdoing. the secret service is still conducting lie detector tests to assess what happened in advance of the president's trip to colombia. the president remained supportive of the men and women who have pledged to take a bullet for him. >> a couple of knuckleheads shouldn't detract from what they do but what these guys were thinking, i don't know. that's why they're not there anymore. >> reporter: director sullivan has told lawmakers that when everything is complete, he expects to testify and give a full and transparent accounting of what occurred here. the military is dealing with its half of the scandal. there are now 12 members of the armed forces who have had their security clearances suspended
7:11 am
while that part of the investigation continues. lawmakers tell cbs news that on the whole they give the secret service director high marks the way he's handled this whole situation. here's the thing. the hearings are just beginning. and some of the secret service people who resigned may choose to fight that so this may not be anywhere near an end. charlie, erica? >> bill, thank you. for the second time in less than a week, a passenger jet taking off from new york had to make an emergency landing after an encounter with some birds. >> it happened to a jetblue plane last night. jeff glor is here with more. >> good morning, charlie. this plane was only in the air for about seven minutes. it was an eventful seven minutes for the pilots. >> clear for takeoff. >> reporter: jetblue flight 571 left for west palm beach at 6:45 p.m. and shortly after was struck by at least two birds forcing a return to the westchester county airport.
7:12 am
>> we have to come back. we hit two big geese. >> jetblue, 571, roger. stand by. >> reporter: two geese crossed in front of the jet and hit the windshield obstructing the pilot's view. >> proceed on runway 16. >> jetblue 571, nice to have you back. >> the flight landed shortly after 7:00 and there were no reported injuries. the crew and all 54 passengers boarded another plane and took off again for florida about two hours later. >> it was awful. everything seemed fine at first and then we took off and it was evident we hit something. the plane just kept swerving from left to right. >> my god. it could have been worse because if that thing ever went into the engine, it was inconvenient but comparison to what it could have been, we're good.
7:13 am
>> reporter: three years ago captain sullenberger guided a us airways flight into the water along manhattan's west side after birds took out both engines on takeoff. since that incident birds have smashed into more than 1,700 flights in new york state alone. and this emergency landing is the second such event in the new york area in less than a week. last thursday a passenger jet aboard a los angeles bound flight captured this video of a flock of at least seven birds before they crashed into an engine forcing a return to jfk. >> what kind of birds are these? >> gulls usually. wide variety. >> it is very serious problem. we have learned so much since everything happened with sully with the landing on the hudson but they are as you pointed out in your report, pretty common. >> definitely a threat. i think one thing that's significant about this one in particular and the incident last week is that more often than not they happen on approach and landing opposed to take off.
7:14 am
these two were both on takeoff. >> because we have seen a series of these, are people getting increasingly concerned saying this takes on urgency? >> there is concern. the birds are there. we're not going to stop flying. the biggest concern comes in when birds hit both engines and take out both engines. in this particular case it was a window issue and not engine and that's why the pilots went back. >> thank you. >> sure. this morning there are new worries in the u.s. beef industry because of the first case of mad cow disease since 2006. two supermarket chains in south& korea stopped selling u.s. beef but no countries are taking steps to cut off beef imports entirely just yet. as wyatt andrews reports, experts believe this case may be a rare exception. >> the disease was found in a dead 5-year-old cow here at the baker commodities rendering plant in california. it was about to be ground into pet food when a random test discovered the illness.
7:15 am
the usda stressed there was never a danger to humans because no dead cow is ever slaughtered for human consumption. jhn clifford is the usda's chief veterinarian. >> first off, this particular nimal did not enter the food supply at any time so there's no concern about that. >> reporter: scientists we contacted agreed there is no risk to the public. the animal had what's called atypical bse or bovine spongiform encehalopathy, which is not contagious in humans or animals. atypical means the cow did not get sick from other cows or from eating a banned time of animal feed composed of other animals. >> it's not likely to be attributed to infected feed which normally is how it is spread from cow to cow. >> three americans are believed to have died from do you
7:16 am
disease. all three spent years eating beef overseas. no american is known to have died from consuming u.s. beef since increased testing began. for "cbs this morning," wyatt andrews in washington. this morning the supreme court takes up a hot button election issue. illegal immigration. the justice its are deciding if an arizona immigration law goes too far. >> part of that law requires police to check the status of everyone they stop, those who cannot prove their legal u.s. residence can be arrested. jan crawford is live in washington with more on today's arguments. what's at stake here? >> reporter: good morning, charlie. obviously this is a huge emotionally charged issue about immigration for most people but the specific legal issue in supreme court is about federal power and specifically whether congress has the exclusive power over immigration or whether states like arizona can get involved and pass tough new immigration laws of their own. arizona, of course, said the federal government wasn't doing enough. that's why they had to get
7:17 am
involved. the obama administration sued to block the law and similar laws in other states that have since got involved in past laws of their own. this issue, federal power is one that the court has been consumed with. we had that similar issue in the health care case involving president obama's health care law. now they're going to take up yet another emotionally charged issue, immigration. >> does it split along traditional lines with justice kennedy as swing justice? >> reporter: that's a great question. he's the one we always watch. he's the human jump ball that will side with liberals sometimes and side with conservatives. this case will be more difficult to read going into it. it will be fascinating. we may get some clues on which way the justices will lean like we did in the health care case. we'll have a better idea tomorrow. many think it will break along traditional party lines. i wouldn't be sure in this one, charlie. >> the role of government is an
7:18 am
issue in the election and being debated in the supreme court. >> reporter: always a big issue for these justices and this court an especially if congress passes laws that get into the role of government in people's lives. >> thank you, jan. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. britain's daily mail reports on rupert murdoch's testimony government in the phone hacking scandal. today and tomorrow murdoch is answering questions about ethics and his links to high ranking british politicians. >> marines are moving women it to the front lines including artillery tanks and combat engineers. >> "the washington post" says fewer employers are offering health insurance. a study says that 72% of employers offered health it's now down to 67.5%.. the telegraph reports

according to a recent report, the united states is the world's leading exporter of sperm. this is true. for some reason we lead the world in this particular product. but here's a new story. take a look. >> the story called frozen assets raises many questions about the booming business of sperm banks. it's a fascinating read but america is, in fact, the gold standard of sperm. >> absolutely. >> how? why? >> one of the men we write about in the story has at least 70 children and perhaps as many as 1,000 children in the u.s. and canada. >> it's amazing to see. oh, john edwards. amazing.
7:31 am
>> creative editing over there at leno. >> i remember the story. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> john edwards' lawyers expect today to get their first chance in court to challenge his chief accuser. he's been telling a vivid story about the former democratic presidential candidate and his mistress. >> anna werner is outside the courthouse in greensboro, north carolina. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and erica. the prosecutor spent the past two days questioning one witness, andrew young. prosecutors believe he could be the key to proving that john edwards accepted nearly $1 million in illegal campaign contributions from two wealthy donors and then used the money to hide his affair. in a packed courtroom, young, the prosecution's star witness, testified about edwards' affair with campaign videographer rielle hunter, saying edwards called his mistress a crazy blank when he found out she was pregnant.
7:32 am
young also said he and his wife were scared to death as they received checks as large as $150,000, marked as payment for furniture, when the money was being used to hide edwards' affair with hunter. according to young, edwards came up with the plan to cover up the affair using nearly $1 million given by wealthy donors, including reclusive heiress rachel "bunny" miller. did the donations constitute gifts or contributions to his campaign? >> people who are having affairs generally tried to hide them. that's what mr. edwards did and that makes him a lousy person but that doesn't make him a criminal. >> reporter: even andrew young, once referred to the donations as gifts in his tell-all book about edwards and the affair "the politician" he said the funds were gifts, entirely proper and not subject to campaign finance laws. in opening arguments, edwards'
7:33 am
attorney says edwards had no knowledge of the donations and alleges andrew young and his wife used most of that money to pay for a new home. edwards' defense lawyers acknowledge the unpleasant aspects of his personal conduct in this whole thing but they told the jury that edwards has committed many sins but no crime. back to you. >> thank you. with us cbs news legal analyst jack ford, welcome. >> good morning. >> so, here's my question -- what is it that they can do -- or what could edwards have done that would have been legal and what has he done that may be illegal? p>> that's the big question in the courtroom here, because some things are clearly illegal. we talked about this the other day. if you try to get your employees to all contribute $1,000 to your candidate and you paid them back afterwards, that's clearly illegal. the problem here is, this is kind of a gray area because, again, the defense is saying,
7:34 am
this was a personal gift from friends, designed to protect him and his family, especially his wife, from the humiliation of this. >> that's okay. >> that's a friendly type of thing. and you would think, and the defense is saying, that's okay. the prosecution says, that would be okay if you weren't running for president of the united states because now the prosecution says that gift to keep the humiliation down, to keep this all quiet, according to prosecution, is to help you get elected president. therefore, they claim it now shifts from the kind of immoral and distasteful kind of thing, a friend helping out to immoral, distasteful but illegal. that's what the yir has to figure out here. it's unchartered waters, very difficult. >> andrew young is the main witness. he also brought e-mails. what is the most damming thing andrew young has said? >> i think the most -- if you're
7:35 am
a prosecutor, you want to lead off with a strong witness, you want to finish with a strong witness. the only thing he's said is how byzantine and convoluted this whole payment plan was. bunny, the older woman who said, i want to help out, would write a check to the interior deck tart and he would send it over to andrew young's wife, and then it would be used to be on the run. if i'm a yournlist, if i would say is this up front, why are you burying the checks in a way that sounds like you're money laundering. >> going to be a lot more things coming out. is america ready for an outer space gold rush? it's not science fiction. we'll look at an ambitious new project to get precious metals and other resources from asteroids. >> tomorrow bill o'reilly will be here in studio 57. you're watching "cbs this morning."

six of the 12 secret service agents implicated have resigned or fired and today word of another agent who has taken a prostitute to a sensitive location. >> i would -- i would assume in general that is standard operating procedure. vis-a-vis prostitutes, location, and their respective sensitivity. get ready for the next challenge in space. well-known investors want to send robots to land on asteroids and mine precious metals. >> it will be risky, extremely expensive but none of that is stopping them. >> reporter: space tourism pioneers live by the idea that the future is now. >> this company is not about thinking and dreaming about asteroid mining. this company is about creating a space economy beyond the earth.
7:41 am
>> reporter: and as far as they're concerned, mining asteroids in space is soon to be fact. the two men, backed by wealth request investors like google ceo larry page and filmmaker james cameron, say asteroids offer rich sources of metals like platinum, which go for $1500 an ounce. this is smart money investing in one of the largest commercial opportunities ever. going to space to gain resources for the benefit of humanity. >> reporter: within two years, the men want their company, p n plane planetary reotherses want them to launch 5,000 mines. asteroids release hydrogen and oxygen as man moves through space. denton ebel is a geologist at the museum of natural history in new york. >> our future in space is going to be depend upon using the
7:42 am
resources that are there. >> reporter: they hope to launch spacecrafts for archids for prospecting by 2020. >> there's a significant probability we may fail but we believe in it anyway because we believe attempting this and moving the needle in space is worth it. >> reporter: having already raised the money they say they need to get started, the two now say they're hiring. jim axelrod, cbs news, new york. >> with us now astro physicist neil degrasse tyson, director of haydon planetarium here in new york. >> thanks for having me back. >> sound like science fiction. >> it has just the right amount of crazy and just the right amount of, hey, that's -- you know, there are resources out there. think what we're doing here on earth. we're waging war and fighting each other to pull precious
7:43 am
metals and other resources deemed rare out of the ground. this is our life down here on this speck we call earth. there's an abundance of materials in the universe. >> is there enough so in this idea, that little bit of crazy to get you going, is there enough potential reality, though, that you see this as something that could actually work? harnessing an asteroid doesn't sound easy. >> it's creating an entire business model that gets you access to asteroids in the first place. so, initially -- i chatted with him at a recent conference, the founders of the company, and initially you can park telescopes out there. once you know how to access asteroids, whose orbits come near earth, then you can turn it into an entire asteroid-monitoring mission, first of all. second, what's valuable in space and is not the same thing valuable down here. you can ask, what is the value of a gallon of water already in space?
7:44 am
that's different from a gallon of water on earth. when nasa needs water, they have to haul it up and last mission was $10,000 a pound just for water. if you can extract water from an asteroid, then you have water in space. what's that worth to nasa, if they can provide that to nasa for less than it takes for nasa to get resources into space, then that's a business model right there. somebody has to take -- i'm glad they're doing it. >> what do you say to those who say the next frontier is the bottom of the ocean not outer space? >> i love -- who doesn't love the bottom of the ocean? >> especially this time of year. >> you must go. so, here's the thing, you know, if you stand in front of a class and say, who wants to go into submersible into the deepest part of the ocean and see what life is there, that's cool. that's the on or abocean graphe.
7:45 am
i say who wants to command a ship in marz, i win, i win that exchange every time because space just works. >> what's the most exciting thing we can do, whether it's ten years, 20 years or 50 years? >> you have to realize that modest sized asteroids -- asteroids are like fragments of planets that never form fully. many of them, all the materials have already been segregated for us. a good term in this context. you get the heavy metals in the center, the lighter materials in the top, you fragment this body and now you have asteroids pure heavy metals, platinum, osmium, gold. >> if you can get it, it's easy, kind of laid out for you. it brings up, though, one of the last times you were here you talked about an asteroid that could be heading for us in 2029. >> that's the bad kind. >> if we can figure out how to get ahold of the good asteroids, could we use that knowledge to get ahold of the bad asteroid and keep it from visiting? >> by all means.

8:02 am
messages stop coming they knew something just wasn't quite right. >> last september yvonne baldelli moved to panama looking for a fresh start. along with the journey, her dog, georgia mae and boyfriend brian brimager, but at the airport when her sister michelle valenzuela took one last picture with her phone she had an ominous feeling. >> for some reason this emotion came over me and i had this horrible feeling that when i saw my phone that i was never going to see her again. >> reporter: just divorced and laid off from procter & gamble, baldelli settled into this house on a lush, tropical island on the caribbean sea. they wanted a simple life. brimager, a former marine would live off singing at local bars and baldelli would make and sell swimwear to tourists. all seemed to be going well until one day baldelli stopped contact with her family, phone calls unanswered. a family reunion skipped.

they play? the fbi gets involved in cases where you either have the murder of an american overseas where they can provide assistance or the disappearance. remember, the fbi involvement in the natalee holloway case. is it automatic that the fbi when an american citizen is involved? >> the fbi will come at this from two directions. one, there's a team of fbi agents in panama city that are attached to the embassy there that work leads and things like that in the country. a couple of them will be dispatched and they have the key liaison with the locals, but there's a local team from the miami division in the fbi and they will do the investigation here and the ability is they can send leads to costa rica and fbi agents who can run them down. they can certainly send leads all around the united states and provide lab support and technical support and evidence recovery, the divers and other

8:20 am
>> the character question, can i just talk about antonio cromartie for just a second. >> okay. >> the football player who has 12 kids, about to have twins with a wife with seven different women, and i'm just thinking, isn't there a character chip missing there and what can we do about that? i wanted to talk to a super agent about that. what can we do? >> well, certainly -- >> he's clearly not one of your guys. >> we talk to our clients regularly about their off the field conduct. >> it matters. >> and not only the kind of money they make on the field but what they're able to do off the field and when their caeer is over. so, you know, we've been very fortunate. i mean, we go out and look for people that are going to have great character, great intelligence, besides being, you know, very fine athletes with the idea being that those players are going to have opportunities that maybe some others will not. >> when you look at what happened to carolina last year, i mean, it is now proven a quarterack can come out of college and have an instant impact. >> it's amazing.
8:21 am
i mean, the nfl, they do a fantastic job. and the rules are such that the passing game is now, obviously, the most important part of the game. so, the quarterback can make a significant difference. if you look at the rest of the roster and the supporting cast, they're going to be very close in terms of talent. so, the player that's -- that's going to change the outcome of the game is the quarterback. >> what makes a great quarterback? >> well, certainly, you know, as we -- as i mentioned before, i think character and that encompasses a work ethic, leadership, loyalty, toughness, all of that. intelligence is certainly a big part of it. you can't play the position anymore as sophisticated as the nfl defenses are without being a very bright guy. >> let's talk about robert griffin iii, known as rg3. i love that nickname. where do you think he's going? >> my partner, ben, is the lead agent on robert.
8:22 am
and he recruited him and he's done a wonderful job with him. and i believe he'll be with the washington redskins. and it's a great place for him. you know, a wulff city. he'll be the second most important guy in washington, d.c. >> well -- >> that's good. good, tom. >> peyton manning, how is he -- how is he physically? is he ready to go? can he perform at the level he did before he was injured? >> you know, peyton is terrific. his rehabilitation has been fantastic from the standpoint of the effort and the detail and the research he's put into all of this, and the length that he's willing to go. to get back and be peyton manning again. so, you know, it's interesting because we have his ex-coaches come and evaluate him and people

then do it yourself. that's the idea behind our children, our future -- the ballot initiative to fix our schools. we've waited years for the politicians to do it. now, we can do it ourselves. our children, our future sends every k through 12 dollar straight to our schools... not to sacramento. it benefits every kid in every school, with local control of the money. that's why the p-t-a supports it. my mom likes it, too. that's why the p-t-a supports it. having one of those days? tired. groggy. can't seem to get anything done. it makes for one, lousy day. but when you're alert and energetic... that's different. you're more with it, sharper, getting stuff done. this is why people choose 5-hour energy over 9-million times a week.

posing outside the television station where you were recently hired as a reporter. you look calm. you look happy, but i know how scared you are. if i could say anything to you, it would be relax. it's going to be okay, girl. you're proud of yourself for getting this job, but also uncertain, uncertain that you'll be able to manage all of your college classes and work a full day's job doing the news. even so, your biggest concern right now, how to manage your love life with bubba. yes, you are dating someone named bubba. on this day, you brought him to the station to see where you
8:33 am
work hoping he'll be proud. he seems less than impressed. the truth is, he's intimidated. you don't know this, though, because you see yourself only through his eyes, a lesson you will have to learn again and again and again, to see yourself with your own eyes and to love yourself through your own heart. >> the people of channel 13 like oprah winfrey -- >> you spent too many days and years trying to please other people and be what they wanted you to be. i understand how and why that happened now. you will have to learn that the wounds of your past, being raped at nine, molested from the time you were 10 through 14, getting
8:34 am
whipped as a young girl by people who said they loved you because you stepped out of place and not even being allowed to show any anger or crying afterwards. that damaged your self-esteem. if only now you knew how much. yet through it all, you managed to hold onto a belief in god, and even more importantly, god's belief in you. that, my dear, will be your single greatest gift, knowing that there is a power greater than yourself and trusting that force to guide you. the trajectory of your life changed the day you answered that call from chris clark. he was the news director at wlac tv. your response was ignited by the
8:35 am
words of your then favorite bible verse. remember philippians 3:14. you used to say it all the time. i am pressed to the mark for the prize of a high calling of god. knowing there is a high calling is what will sustain and fulfill you. from where i sit now viewing your journey, there really are very few regrets. that means a life well lived. i won't say good-bye, i'll just say until we meet again. even then you understood that success was a process, and that moving with the flow of life and not against it would be your
8:36 am
greatest achievement. you have made me proud. >> i like her -- oh, my gosh. i haven't seen that. i'm blown away by that. and i know oprah's story and i know oprah's life. i'm so amazed. imagine she starts at 19 at this tv station in tennessee. she's a college student, so she's in college classes and then anchoring the news. she comes from an abusive background where she's been abused, had a baby at a young age. all sorts of horrible things have happened in her life and yet she's managed to come and be this. i'm so blown away by the piece. nice job, page. >> faith she mentioned, the bible -- >> very much. when i first met oprah, we used to work at a tv station in baltimore together. people said to me when you're around oprah winfrey, never swear, because she doesn't swear
8:37 am
and she quotes the bible all the time. so i was afraid to. if her life turned out differently she could be married to bubba and she would be a funeral director's wife, the wife of a funeral director. >> what amazes me every time i see her is how much she knows herself. >> that's true. >> she understands who she is, where she was, where she is and is deeply in touch with her own -- not only her own soul but her own sense of what she should be and how she should be. >> new york city charlie. you get her. you get her very well. she's in town tonight because her kids from south africa are performing at lincoln center. imagine kids coming from a home not as big as this table tonight some of them are performing at lincoln center. it's a very big deal for her. >> to both of your points, in many ways oprah has given other women the license to do the same thing, to get to know themselves, embrace who they are and allow themselves to make the most of it, even if it didn't

since then she's proved herself to be a very smart blond. >> she has. she's won an oscar, an emmy, respected businesswoman and best selling author. goldie hawn is with us in studio 57. i love when you sat down and looked at your picture of yourself and you said, my god, that looks like katie, your daughter kate hudson. >> we do that all the time. sometimes there's a look and it's like oh, my god, honey, what have we done. >> you say you look at each other and say can you believe this. what do you mean. >> obviously you're on the screen years and years and years ago. have you a baby girl. suddenly you look at her at the ages you were and, look, this is amazing. she does resemble her mother. or i would say i resemble her now. >> goldie, you both look really good. charlie, she's looking at the clips of herself saying she's so skinny. news flash, you're still skinny.
8:42 am
you look good. >> you've written before and said i wasn't a perfect parent. i was striving for perfection. i wasn't a perfect parent. if you had a parental do-over, what would it be. >> that's a good question. i'm not sure i could have done anything differently. i could have bowed out more of my career maybe. but my intention of being a good mother would always have been the same. that is something i didn't have a lot of control over in terms of where i was going. you know, we make mistakes as parents. we're not there when we should be there sometimes. we agonize over it. but i don't think the way the kids turned out. they are all great. i don't have a sense of remorse or regret. >> did you see this "today"? >> no. >> this is the paper "today." that's you and curt russell. you know him, don't you? >> i do. i know him quite well actually.
8:43 am
>> how much credit does he deserve for all this. you two. >> exactly. once and for all, when you're up there, it's like -- curt is the other part of the success and beauty and happiness of the joy of the kids and the family. we're a team. >> you've been together how long? >> 29 years. >> 29 years. >> so this is a big part of it. curt curt is an incredible father, amazing counterpart to me. we did amazing stuff together. thank you for bringing that up. it's sort of the misconception everyone thinks i have one child. >> you've got three. >> i have, well, four including my stepson. >> how many grandchildren? >> four. >> they call you go -- >> go go. >> what's this, ten -- >> i have a program called mind up. the hawn foundation incubated
8:44 am
this and created it. it is for children in schools. it's to help them reduce their stress, recognize their emotional states, learn about their brain and how their brain works which gives them great context to know, a, their potential. they learn how plastic the brain is. >> to be more empathetic, which i think is really important. >> exactly. it enhances empathy. it gives them a sense of positivity and optimism. in the classroom itself is how we're going to nurture the next -- our society to come. if we're going to change society, we do it there. this has changed children's lives. it's changed teachers' lives. nurturing children in the classroom socioemotional skills. giving them cognitive input for their brain is imperative for the 20th century. >> you've got this great guy,
8:45 am
great children, great-grandchildren. is kate getting married again? >> no. i'm saying no, not yet. >> you've got great-grandchildren. >> i'm not married either. >> why not, goldie? why not? >> i don't know why. in other words, the question is why. it's not why not. we're in love. i wake up every morning. i love being with him. he brings me coffee. it's good morning. we love each other. we fight the way people are supposed to fight. we love our lives together. marriage is something that sometimes -- >> nobody is trying to get you married? >> oh, no, but i'm saying you asked about it. marriage is a thing. >> exactly. so beyond all this good stuff. >> hi, charlie. >> hi, goldie. >> we've known each other for a while. and him, too, who you know i like. >> exactly. >> what professional ambitions still beat within you? >> there is -- the only professional ambition that ever
8:46 am
beat inside of me was story and social relevance. i can't think of any movie that i ever produced -- not that i acted in, but that i created and produced that didn't have some form of connectivity to our social condition. so i think anything i do, i'm actually preparing to write a book now on happiness and travel the world on this. i know oprah is doing this, too. it's a very important subject because there are ways in which we can choose to be happy. our brains are only set up for 50% hard wiring. >> goldie, i remember once, i've never forgotten this, you said what do you want to be when you grow up and you said happy. mission accomplished. >> me, too. i'm with you. thank you. >> anyway, happiness is important. also there's a film i'm looking at i love to do. i just don't want to do things that don't matter. i love the idea that i can go out there and make people feel good is great and happy and makes me happy, and acting is an
8:47 am
