Welcome to spring Sean Patton is an Oscar-winning actor twice over who is in the midst of turning a new page as he'll be telling Tracy Smith, Sean Penn has always been good at making us cry, but now is a first-time novelist.

He wants to make us giggle. Do you worry that people won't get the joke.

Some people will really enjoy. Others will really like what I'd say about me. Are you prone to addictions Sean Penn bad habits and all later this Sunday morning. Last of his kind is a story from Jonathan Figley ate all about a rhino name Sudan with a lasting legacy is become this charismatic movement is known across the product. A one-of-a-kind rhino now is both a symbol of mass extinction and of hope that it can be reversed the last days of the last male standing coming up on Sunday morning. Former Pres. Jimmy Carter tells us how his faith saw him through a health crisis screen also shows off some cutting edge Japanese art now on display. Jim Gaffigan talks about not talking about that topic and more coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues was the last of his kind, maybe not the last. After all from Africa.

Jonathan Figley has a cautionary tale, so this is the king of the park. This is the last man standing. Sudan, the last male northern white rhino on all looks as if he traveled here in prehistoric times, and in fact these mighty creatures have been around for millennia with their supersize horns and thick skin protective armor they seem indestructible, but when we let him earlier this month, Sudan was living out his final days of the old page of the Conservancy in Kenya for walk looking for a test now so I know him very well here. Lyons giraffes and elephants roam free Sudan at the ripe old age of 45 remains under the watchful eye of keepers. Zechariah 5 is a great friend of mine this this morning-so this way. Take a quick Sudan's treatment by his numbers, and veterinarian Stephen who is a lot like hospice care for an aging patriarch coming very dimly jumped a very gentle.speaking to look Sudan spent most of his life at a zoo in the Czech Republic's captivity turns out to of been a blessing.

He was protected while northern white rhinos in the wild poached to extinction is becoming this charismatic, mold is known across the product known far and wide, because he and these two northern white females measuring and thought to are the last of their kind. Conservationist Richard Levine, a home for them as wildlife sanctuary.

No doubt my rhinos haven't existed in zoos than the species would now be completely extinct. The word rhinoceros comes from the Greek it means no surprise horns nose and their distinctive nose not only gives rhinos their name also makes him a coveted target three rhinos all threatened by purging is because of the bond for the pure and simple form in the Far East is considered to have distal properties in some places it's become like a status symbol which is put into drinks in powder form to cure a hangover as if you were rich past hangovers you know you can put yourself in the position of the runner is successfully sold out for 2000 that for him is €20 worth of wages to vaccines and in 2009 with the northern white population in the single digits.

Sudan and his female companions were flown to the Kenyan capital Nairobi been carded to the old page of the Conservancy where the hope was nature would take its course. Beautiful. So they have a curiosity of a puppy except for the size of a car to much in the hope he continues so friendly and they did mate but we were expecting to love right away but it just never walked now. Science must succeed where nature has had four bouts of semen invaluable sperm samples collected from the last of the species are stored in liquid nitrogen at the light in Berlin is about using surrogates Dr. Thomas Hildebrandt has been perfecting a procedure to harvest rhino wakes up from a gene in five to fertilize them with the semen then transfer the embryo to a healthy surrogate. You know the points that can perform the procedure very safely and read that that was on 16 times and Solomon time the femurs extremely confident that the be successful. The stream almost sounds like Jurassic Park is very similar with a situation where the water on his guy because we as we can reintroduce the species on the brink of extinction because of human greed. Sudan has had to rely on his human keepers for protection from poachers that includes an armed security detail what are they going up against the people coming here and why Bush savvy operator tonight much wild animals and they are asking for farm sale.

People who think nothing of how dangerous is talking about Simon and his team with and for the past few days. Sudan's family has been in morning just after our visit, his fragile body.

Finally gave way caretakers meet the gut wrenching decision to euthanize him. Keepers Zechariah 5 was by his side. But even with Sudan now gone. Richard vine hopes that in death the last male standing will at last bring change people around the world now know about.

So… For me is his gracious role. We may still lose one run as a species, but he will have created a message which hopefully can be actuated to a wide audience. It's about drawing a line in the sun sank sooner or later. As humans we have to change the way we exist on this and if we done skeptically to our considerable more than usual.

The news out of Washington this past week seem to be all about one topic which leaves our Jim Gaffigan struggling for words. I recently had a horrible realization I only have two types of conversations with people these days doesn't matter from talking to my wife are UPS guy Keith Keith or any of the innumerable strangers I sit next to on airplanes. I talk about that topic. You know the topic I'm talking about. You don't well it's it's not the other topic is a man I don't feel comfortable talking about the other topic is a guy I feel like I should have about listening and learning role on the other topic I'm talking about that topic which kind of has to do with the other topic.

If you're still not following me. Just think about what you mostly read about on the Internet.

Talk to your friends about what the news is usually all about. Yes, that topic actually probably why you're watching CBS Sunday morning church Sunday mornings been a great show for almost 40 years, but I'm guessing some of you are watching so you can take a break from thinking about that topic. Sure, half the audience at my standup shows comes to see me because I don't talk about that topic.

I seen comedian friends talk about that topic.

It shows and witnessed audience members with Pro when against views towards that topic begin to stare at the ceiling. It's confusing and exhausting talking about that topic right gets confusing and exhausting trying to not talk about that topic by being complacent if I don't talk about that topic is talking about that topic, helping or just normalizing that topic anyway. We can talk on this later on. This is causing a major disturbance on my time thinking this is fine here make it our time Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Jane Hawley the young Sean Penn gave as good as he got with the late Ray Walston 1982 film fast Times at Ridgemont high these days. Pam is looking beyond the world of movies.

He tells Tracy Smith has our Sunday profile. Why did you choose, of all the places in the world that you could lift the spot while I'm two blocks from my 90-year-old mother here for Sean Penn Malibu California is more than just his current address its home 40 something years ago.

He was just another beach blonde local kid who served 20 could and studied what he had to, and Malibu Park junior high he even got himself elected as the boys vice president.

Is there anything that you would tell this kid go back and tell this kid something the young Sean Penn. Yeah, love, love, juncture, do you sincerely change so much that you do collect a lot of information around someone here the bad choices that you are going to make and there's nothing that's gonna stop you from making so let's check out how funny it is you do get through them and everything will be all right.

He's done okay all my school so far.

Sean and some of the most celebrated roles instead of medic history five Oscar nominations and two wins first anguished father of the murdered girl Mystic River and later as California's first openly gay elected official 2008 need to hear you say that it shouldn't. You know, I think that this is been true for some time. It can be great when you're working with. Good actors are good directors or good writing is an exercise, but do I have a belief that it has a lasting value. Maybe I could make the argument intellectually, but I don't have a visceral model of what he does seem to love his spending time here at home, cigarette in hand, putting thoughts on paper and no more typewriter. I don't do that used to when it was a typewriter use a computer. So I do a lot of piecing smoking dictating you don't use a computer just lazy. Well, maybe not lazy pens just come out with his first novel, the dark comedy Bob honey who just do stuff under an imprint of Simon & Schuster CBS company like his character in 2015. The gunmen hands, Bob, honey, is he just doesn't use a gun septic tank salesman turned assassin who kills people with a mallet. Everything is a metaphor for something but satire can also get pretty grim. I could Bob honey sends a threatening letter to a make-believe president worry that people won't get the joke.

Get some people to get this book and some people do not go to get this book. Some people I think will really enjoy that others will, and that really is like what I'd say about me. Love him or love him Sean Penn is nearly as well known for his activism is exacting. There's the ongoing mission he founded in Haiti after the place was leveled in the 2010 earthquake and before that was New Orleans 2005 when Hurricane Katrina turned the city into a sudden mess and anyone with the boat suddenly became a first responder this report are included and also used a borrowed boat to rescue people trapped by the rising waters, not far from the New Orleans neighborhood where we met him last month got a call to feel like you are part that I wasn't given any rescue with 40 people be available in the water on the first of course his humanitarian work is often drowned out by the tabloid battle like the persistent story about taking a baseball bat to his then wife Madonna back in the 19 so 2015 when director Lee Daniels told the Hollywood reporter a star on his show accused of spousal abuse wasn't doing anything quote different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn.

Penn sued him for defamation and Daniels wound up apologizing to feel when there's so much stuff there about you, a lot of which is untrue.

Why did you feel like you needed to take a stand when Lee Daniels said that about. There was a story which involved violence against woman in my life and yeah and would never knowingly the this insane. No hitting someone have a baseball bat story never happened. No violence, and to which she was very quick to say also and for me it was important things.

I'm not a guy quick to you. Don't try to litigate things and I want to spend my life in depositions but in this case, it was important.

His latest role El Chabot's Hollywood connection. Then there was the uproar over his 2015 meeting with the state drug lord Joaquin L.

Troppo Guzman, do you wish that you never did it that you never met with NO no I don't I don't look I have regrets but I don't go back and sell wish I didn't do something I would have liked a greater conversation about the demand side of the so-called war on drugs and I thought you know there's in the car conversation got turned into a kind of sensationalized sideshow unit was discouraging. Sean Penn is disillusioned with Hollywood hasn't seemed to rub off Hopper Jack and Dylan son and daughter he had with his ex-wife Robin Wright are both actors themselves and dad still has projects in the works says it might be time for him to exit the state. I'm sorry to harp on this.

Love your acting work.

Is there a part of you that mourns the idea that that's gone, you're just getting give that up know things can kind of work since I was probably 30 intermittent offers to write a memoir, my magic number 77 maybe somebody goes story to tell Tolkien a set memoir at 77 went to stepped-up to Herman Welk. Not too long ago. He did his hundred she could even wait that long. Do you feel the effects of literature so well. I'm sure you will stop when don't know how many times he said that courts conversation throughout most of everyday do you really think it will quit eventually I hope to hope to write a book. As you may know, is women's history month, which prompts this history lesson from faith saintly. We need a women's history month to streamline the first part of a series shall see here every Wednesday in the month of March, focusing on men in America. What I'm talking about have to complain about way that my children have never flown in or out of an airport named after a woman, and that when I walk with my kids to Central Park nearly 2 dozen historical figures there's not a woman among them, they can look up to write until I get to be president super close to centuries, which is more important to us gals anyway because we care about being liked presidents okay.

There hasn't been one US bell since 1886 Harriet Tubman was slated to be on the new 20 but Treasury Secretary nutrition just isn't that into her on a few different coins that hardly anyone used with Mentos queen stayed shiny and shiny, not dirty America wine and it turns out we are when it comes to having the highest maternal death rate in the developed world, and the US has a rate of women who die of pregnancy related complications been rising, but change since women now make up the whole third position almost 80% of them say they face discrimination based on their gender back.

I think they can get over that pretty quickly because ladies are excellent and talking about their feelings just yesterday my five-year-old son informed me that in 2017 to make history as the first African-American female pilots to fly a plane together and he said that so great because it's not fair. How many years it took to happen.

Today's kids will make women's history month redundant, may we surround them with women's history, past and present many batches of women walked down boulevards cross bridges at universities and entered towers named after my kids presidential placemats display the face of a woman, but for now we have our month. Let's get back to work ladies, earning about $0.80 on the dollar. Depending on what color you are 93 former Pres. Jimmy Carter has been out of office for more than 37 years. Plenty of time to reflect on his life, his mortality and on his religious faith reflections. He recently shared with us you don't often see crowds lining up for Sunday school, but not many churches have a president doing the teaching, Pres. Jimmy Carter came to Maren at the Baptist Church in 1980 on the very first Sunday after he left the White House, this is Mark. He teaches whenever he can, and when he does, the crowd comes from far and wide bar. Okay, back in 2015 when word came that melanoma had spread to his liver and his brain. It look like the end.

But when we met Pres. Carter and his library in Atlanta this month seem to fit is ever and always, thanks to a new immunotherapy treatment is cancer hasn't come back. It's an unexpected new chapter for a man who was ready to die and had already said his goodbyes.

He started getting ready will I was I was ready, but I thought I was the liver to always weeks told us that her goodbyes told my children and another goodbye. I was prepared for just finishing late for the loss. I was surprised at how easily I took it just the knowledge of dollars in a few days and maybe that's because he's left so little undone. In 1976 nation weary of Vietnam and Watergate. Jimmy Carter was a breath of fresh air, a relative unknown one. The White House on a promise of honesty would not tell a lot. I would not mislead the American people improve relations with China and the landmark peace accord between Israel and increasing pleasure to write lost you.

But Carter also struggled with a hostile Congress sputtering economy and a calamity overseas in 1979 when Irani and militants seized the US Embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage only to release them after 444 days. Moments after Carter left office on Inauguration Day, 19, and faith is 32nd book published by CBS's Simon & Schuster Carter writes that the hostage crisis stretched his own faith to the limit during the Iran hostage crisis.

You have said that you made that year and ultimately your prayers were answered. The hostages were safely released under your watch. Well that's not exactly right that morning at 10 o'clock all the houses were in a plane ready to take off from Tehran, but they are delighted and let them take all until five minutes after I went out of office. Oh no, this is equivocal and what difference does it make you prayers were the happiest moment I think of my life when I was still on the reviewing stand in the Secret Service came and told me the hostages when there on the way to freedom. History says his seat, fell short. Jimmy Carter second act has been all glory, the Carter Center. He's like out debilitating tropical diseases like anyone and travel the world as an advocate for human rights.

You the first one term president since Hoover not to be reelected, which you know, history has a way of marking that is a failed presidency. Yes, I realize that I realize that you not getting reelected is to be a failure. But what I have filed just live in the White House that had a very gratifying and I think productive life with a cortisone and we've been able to monitor the hundred seven different troubled elections may not go well had not been there for his efforts. Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, delighted with his statesmanship seems especially relevant now. Jimmy Carter is the only US president, past or present, to travel to North Korea. Just this week I had a representative from White House to came down gave you an update on the latest developments with North Korea. So I have had some criticisms up some other public statements that present truckers made about foreign brimstone and that sort of thing been utilized but I think that he's reacted quite well to the latest innovation from North Korea that was to have all II think if Pres. Trump wanted to send you to North Korea you go I would Konstantin Carter's life is his wife of 72 years recently underwent intestinal surgery, made all the more risky by her advanced age. He'd been serene in the face of his own mortality. But he says the prospect of losing her terrified him. I was much more concerned then another upgrade all night. The doctor was going to the surgeon new hellhole Rosa Lawson said was proto-she was 16 years old. I would tell you not to work but she is 90 and been acting like 61.

She is an operator which is going to be 90 so real concerned about it, but will do the best we can, so she came in and told me at 5 o'clock that Rosa was going to live happy day. I was happy to now on the mend and his cancer scare behind Jimmy Carter says take things a bit easier for whatever time he has left now. Then at the end of your life that you're talking about, you know, phasing into finally, final chapter, perhaps you assess the life you've first of all I would say proportionate blessed almost perfect wife got a large and growing family properly and he's just been in the final years of my life. Whatever they might be on the phone much. Whatever and plays Georgia will close to home.

Jimmy Carter was a fill in the blank man well our salesforce public services concerned. I was a champion of peace and human rights of salt to carve out for myself a productive and useful in certain gratifying life I've been very lucky we want to take a moment now to note – this past Monday. I'm Julie Williams. As you may remember, Tracy Smith told Julie story here on Sunday morning. Just two weeks ago, a story that was all about living on borrowed time. Julie was born totally blind and Vietnam and narrowly escaped a plot hatched by her own grandmother have her killed on the grounds that she had no future. But at age 3. Julie and her family made it to the United States where a surgeon was able to give her only partial site leaving her still legally blind. Undaunted, Julie Williams went on to graduate from Harvard Law school and pursue a corporate career, only to be diagnosed with colon cancer five years ago. Still, undaunted. Julie underwent every surgery and treatment 10 clinical trial she could find to no avail. Through it all. She shared her experience in a candid blog while also preparing for daughters Isabel age 6 and Mia eight for the day in her borrowed time would run out Julie Williams was just 42 years old, I'm Jane Pauley.
