hart miriam who ran the biological survey. these aren't household names i wanted to inject them in the main stream history i didn't want to be relegated to a specialist it's not just roosevelt i'm writing about but a circle about him. >> how many other places did you spend time in to research this book? >> almost all. not all of his national forests there are way too many, just hundreds going down, but all his national parks, his monuments i've visited, i travel the country a lot, this has been my hobby visiting vo roosevelt's p. what was exciting for me, i'll pick a place, pine knot is a cabin in virginia outside charlottesville, in the wild, and roosevelt as resident saw the last alive passenger pigeon, there used to be 100 million passenger pigeons in america. it's an extinct species, roosevelt wrote the last ons observation in the wild. pine knot shows you the real tv, the person most comfortable in nature. people don't want to think of roosevelt's conner vags as a policy or as much as a passion. the foresight that he had,

sheldon and his wife, miriam. what do they hope to get for all the money they've donated?t have a lot of reasons for giving money. it's hard to look into their heart and predict what the reason is. but we know that he's said, one, the reason he put a lot of money into the newt gingrich super pac was to help his old friend, newt. he wanted to see this campaign go on for a while, back when there was a primary campaign. he's also a huge hawk on israel. and it's clear he wants somebody in the white house who shares his views on israel. and finally he's battled heavily with trade unions in his hometown of las vegas. it's soured him on labor. that's probably a part of it as well. >> now that gingrich is out, who are the adelson's backing? >> they haven't gotten in on behalf of mitt romney. there's been high-level talks between supporters of romney and the adelsons about eventually supporting mitt romney. it hasn't happened yet. instead they put $5 million into a super pac devoted to helping the gop hold on to control of the house. >> from the adelsons to the simpsons now, $22 mi

weren't directly associated with the campaign, it would be impossible for me to not mention shelton and miriam addleson who single-handedly nearly matched romney's super pac. we share a combined concern about the middle east and american security and survival of israel and they're very good friends. finally on the thank yous, i have to thank the voters of south carolina and apologize. we will have broken their tradition of always picking the nominee. this makes me feel guilty every time we go through south carolina. but they were tremendous. they were welcoming, they were enthusiastic. the size of the victory was historic and we'll always remember -- i suspect our whole family will south remember south carolina. it was a tremendous experience. today i'm suspending the campaign but suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship. callista and i committed to be active citizens. we owe it to america and to maggie and robert. in my case, i've been an active citizen since august of 1958 between my freshman and sophomore years in high school when my dad was serving in the army in europe

miriam hernandez shows us the highly controversial video. >> usually at five months is usually when theyect you know, whether or not it's a boy or girl. >> this video posted by "live action" shows clips of a planned parenthood counseling session at an austin, texas, clinic. a woman posing as a patient tells the counselor she may need help to abort her baby if tests determine the fetus is a girl instead of the boy she desires. >> but you think i still just shouldn't worry about telling them that i'm -- i would be terminating if it's a girl, just keep it quiet and then come here? >> yeah, i wouldn't. >> planned parenthood says the counselor was entry level. she was fired and that staff is being retrained. but questions remain about what the counselor should have said. planned parenthood in los angeles says the policy across the country is to provide nonjudgmental counseling. yet -- >> we absolutely condemn sex selection. >> and you would tell her that? >> i don't think that that's typical in conversation with the patient. >> it's not typical, but it's a conversation that can happen. >> and

miriam wells join us via skype.. >> good morning, carol. she does, actually, she seems cheer full throughout the interview, she talks how the scandal has damaged her life. there is a bit of a contradiction there, lots of interesting stuff, she is giving more details of what happened between herself and the agent, the behavior of the rest of the agents in the club. a few interesting things coming out. the most interesting is the behavior of the agents, 10 or 11 of them in the club, completely drunk, rowdy, drinking alcohol like water, she can't believe knowing now who they are that they were behaving this way. then the agent the specific one she went back with, she said in the club he was good looking, friendly, nice to her. she was having a great time with him, but the next morning when he woke up, when he was -- his character change and he said nasty things to her, apparently. >> that is when he threw her out of the room and called her the "b" word for lack of a better word to put it, right? >> that is what she sai

onlying up next to her is miriam. who is 17 she had done some research on tabor i ared land lines around the world. she wanted to do something. she went out and created, actually, an alternative. a device that actually goes out there and identifies where these mines are buried. she wanted $25,000 fellowship and her invention is a great thing. people can produce it at the cheap cost in other countries. the point is this, when you inspire girls, when you give them an opportunity, when you support them, when you mentor them, they're going to get on the journey because they truly know the path. sometimes adults we kind of put barriers in the away. stereo types, negative images, if you're sitting there with a girl and you start kicking the barriers out of the way, that are going to jump to where they need to be. i'm fortunate, i have a lot of people in my life that mentored me. from a young age in arizona, where i was apparently poor, we were rich in love. but, i remember thinking, the only thing i wanted to be was a girl
