pressure to get product out the door leading to what he calls a toxic culture that has put his workers in danger. >> it's been basically me standing in against boeing, right? >> reporter: why keep doing it? >> because i told everybody that i'll protect them. >> reporter: it's a concern multiple whistle-blowers who have worked on boeing's commercial airliners including 737 max told us, corners were cut as the company sought production. >> they've taken the focus off quality, off the people on the floor and put it completely on profit and going fast. >> reporter: garriatt said last year a 4 ton satellite estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars crashed to the factory floor after it wasn't secured. >> after it happened one person was under the satellite and they barely got out. >> reporter: how significant is it to that satellite to have it fall like that? >> it's the equivalent of a plane falling out of the sky. it's the worst thing that can

possibly happen. >> reporter: in the last year garriatt said he's raised between 3 and 400 safety violations with management. one employee we spoke with said he believes management views safety as a, quote, after thought. >> i don't think it's an after thought. i don't think they care at all. >> reporter: boeing's space program has suffered set backs, the most high profile in september. the starliner spacecraft returned to earth without its two astronauts. now boeing, which helped put a man on the moon, is reportedly exploring a sale as part of its space business. >> we're better off being -- doing less and doing it better than doing more and not doing it well. >> there is such a disconnect between the floor and the ivory tower of boeing right now. >> reporter: in april garriatt filed this lawsuit against boeing alleging the company

retaliated against him for continuous safety complaints protecting the lives of workers under his supervision. >> when i first started at boeing the guys, the hourly people who spoke up said, this doesn't feel right. if you speak up now, you're a troublemaker. >> reporter: is it worth it? >> yeah. i'm not going to stop until i know that boeing understands that these people mean something. they matter. make them feel like they matter. make them feel like their safety matters. that's all i'm asking for. >> reporter: in a statement a boeing spokesperson said the company has completed an investigation into this issue and we dispute the allegations made in the lawsuit adding boeing did not retaliate against mr. garriott. that was kris van cleave reporting. stay with us. you're watching "cbs news roundup."

america has both the bison and naturalists alike pretty thankful. he did the same for other animals and plants that were once native to these lands as well. journalist todd wilkinson said the man mostly known as a business tycoon has actually always been a naturalist at heart. >> he looked at these grand old 19th century paintings, master pieces, by people like albert bierstadt or thomas moran and he would say, i want my land to look like that. i want it to be inhabited by all of those native species. >> reporter: turner owns more square miles than almost any other single individual. 2 million acres stretching across several states. >> what do you think? >> looks pretty good. >> reporter: the last time we met him he invited our ted copal out to the flying d ranch in southwest montana, 114,000

beautiful acres reach out towards yellowstone. >> i'm not buying anymore land. i've got enough. >> reporter: at the time turner was about to turn 80. and it was then he revealed he had been diagnosed with lewey body dementia, fatal brain disorder that worsens over time. >> tired, exhausted and forget forget forgetfulness. >> it's hard to see ted turner slow down. >> reporter: yet facing his own mortality may have made ted turner more protective of his lands than ever. >> he asked me if i believe in god and i said i believe in a higher power. he said, you know, i do, too, but i believe that we can create heaven on earth. >> reporter: at a time when most of the attention he garnered was from winning the america's cup or for founding cnn -- >> my cable network keeps america ahead with 24-hour news. >> reporter: -- he was quietly

buying up his heaven on earth, most of it in the american west. he then hired teams of top naturalists and conservationists who reintroduced everything from the native desert big horn sheep to the incredbly endangered mexican wolf and the bolson tortoise. >> you lose a little bit of rights to have an endangered species on your property but my dad felt it's dire, i want to help these species. >> reporter: brett turner is one of ted turner's sons. >> do you see anything? >> reporter: among other things he's a professional wildlife photographer who spent years capturing his father's conservation efforts for a book one frame at a time. >> that's a really big herd. >> reporter: on this night -- >> incredible. the into it is really nice. >> reporter: we found him on turner's 360,000 acre ranch in southern new mexico called armendaris. this is a home to one of the

largest bat populations in america right below our feet. >> you're going to see something that's really incredible. >> reporter: sure enough, just as the light was almost gone. >> look at that. >> reporter: it happened. cloud of mexican free tail batsd darkened the sunset. >> this has happened for thousands and thousands of years. >> reporter: you can just hear their wings flapping right over our heads going out to feast on insects all night long. >> reporter: as you might imagine, managing 2 million acres isn't cheap, even for a billionaire. >> he always says we need to shape up and do the right thing and that's not always the least expensive path. >> reporter: for years his bison have been providing meet for his string of ted's montana grill restaurants but turner was always aware ranching alone wasn't going to fund his lands after he and his money were gone. >> that was the first thing ted said to me when i satur down wi

ted. we need to generae some revenue, not a lot but more. >> reporter: his plan, open the private lands to the paying public to give them a chance to experience a genuine safari right here in america. >> his focus is let's get people to come and visit these properties. let's get them out here and help them to reconnect humanity with nature. >> reporter: jay mcbride is president of ted turner reserves. despite the huge swathes of open land that turner owns, mcbride is taking a very reserved approach to just how many guests will be allowed at any one time. >> we want to generate as much revenue we can out of as little impact as possible. >> reporter: you could stay a week on his properties and not see a another soul. the hacienda allows just 10 people at a time. the nearby ladder ranch the four bedroom country house

accommodates no more than eight. >> everybody has horseback riding, hiking, we do all these outdoor activities but i think what really makes this place special is that we get to do them in this kind of restored ecosystem that feels a lot like a private national park. >> reporter: the real jewel though is in northern new mexico, vermejo. at 550,000 acres, it's turn in err's biggest ranch. it includes this gatsby era 25,000 square foot mansion, the same home turner once shared with his former wife, jane fonda. its reading room alone is worth the stay. prices range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. >> conservation capitalism is what he calls it. >> reporter: that's robert turner, ted's grandson, who works here managing the bison herd. >> so when people get out here and they see the elk, the deer, the bison, big, beautiful natural landscapes, it helps to turn on something inside of them to really get them passionate about the outdoors.

>> reporter: vermejo's streams are a haven for a species of fish turner reintroduced. >> no place i've ever seen that's quite like this. >> reporter: yes, fishing and hunting, this they're both allowed on turner's properties but only if the population can support it. one of the trickiest endeavors is managing the native elk population. mcbride said private hunts act as a pressure valve to conserve the biodiversity. >> we have a fantastic conservation biologist and he tries to determine what are the correct number of animals that we should have on this landscape to be healthy. >> reporter: that said, turner himself, especially later in life, still struggles with the

hunting idea. >> he struggles with the idea of any animal being killed. he cries when animals die. >> i don't need anymore money, i really don't. >> reporter: the adventure remember who made his name as a business tycoon knows he certainly can't live forever, but this holiday season we can all be thankful for ted turner's carefully curated heaven on earth. >> this is probably going to be his greatest legacy? >> absolutely. i think nothing would make him prouder than for him to know that his initiatives to protect nature are going to

unique breed known for being sweet dogs but they are also high energy, strong and bullheaded. >> i don't always say people have to have great experience but for that particular dog i think it's -- >> reporter: deserves it? >> yes. >> reporter: 400 miles south of tallahassee in parkland, florida, near miami, a friend forwarded a story about trooper to carla spena. she showed it to her husband frank. >> i said to frank, did you hear this story? i'm going to start crying. he said, yeah. i didn't tell you because i knew you would get upset. >> reporter: that is because the spenas are bull terrier owners, but more importantly, they love this particular breed. >> we've always had an affinity for bull terriers. that's the breed that we love and they're special. >> reporter: they got their first bull terrier crunchy in 1992 followed by diesel and a few years ago they adopted

dallas. >> when we saw trooper, it was kind of relighting that same fire. we saw this dog. we know he needs -- he needs help. >> reporter: so they applied, but there was one major hurdle. frank. you see, trooper is weary of men because of his past trauma, and the humane society wasn't sure it was going to work out. >> so i said, well, how about if we get in a car and drive 7 1/2 hours to tallahassee and i'll show you what 33 years of bull terrier dad does. so we did that, and when we got there, they let him loose and amy said, frank, you know, why don't you sit on that bench and see what happens. and he came over and he got under my legs and i started scratching his neck and his foot started moving and she said, perfect match! >> reporter: and that first

meeting, as you saw, everyone seemed to be pretty smitten. >> it's trooper. >> it's trooper. >> it's your brother. >> reporter: we were there when amy delivered trooper to his new parents. >> dally loves you. she gives you kisses. they really like each other. they're two buddies. >> i've never felt this comfortable leaving him. >> we'll take good care. >> i know you will. it's happy tears. >> yes. oh, absolutely. yes. >> reporter: it didn't take long for trooper to start making himself feel right at home. >> we got you, buddy. we got you. you're in good hands with us. >> reporter: and seeing him at his new home with his new dad, it's kind of hard to believe this is the same dog that was afraid of men. >> we're really happy. >> really excited. really excited. it's almost like we had a baby. we just can't believe that a month ago we saw this news report and now a month later he's -- he's in my -- in my

bedroom. >> reporter: for the spinas, they feel like a missing piece of their family has been found, and as for our buddy trooper, yes, life was tough and it was rough, but what we can faithfully report to you today is that he seems happy. >> we just want everybody to know that we're going to give him the best life. >> we can't believe it. it's like a dream. it's like a dream come true. >> great to see a happy ending there. david begnaud with that report. stay with us.
