>>> TONIGHT, THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE TELLS "60 MINUTES" ABOUT HIS DESPERATE FIGHT WITH RUSSIA, PREVENTING WORLD WAR III AND WHY
HIS PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST SO MUCH WILL NEVER DEAL WITH PUTIN. >>> YOU THINK AMERICA'S THE ONLY DEMPSEY
DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD WITH A PROBLEM? THIS IS ISRAEL. AND FOR MONTHS NOW, THERE HAVE
BEEN THESE MASSIVE PROTESTS AGAINST PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU AND HIS GOVERNMENT. >> YOU WANT TO MAKE THOSE
ELECTED OFFICIALS UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS WRONG. YOU WANT TO WAKE UP AND SHAKE UP
PEOPLE. AND YOU DON'T DO THAT BY BEING NICE. >>> DEION SANDERS WAS JUST ABOUT
FASTER THAN EVERYONE. BUT THE SPEED AT WHICH HE'S TRANSFORMING COLLEGE FOOTBALL, WELL, THAT NEEDED TO BE
DOCUMENTED BY "60 MINUTES." >> WHO'S THE BEST COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY? >> LET ME SEE A MIRROR SO I CAN
SEE THAT. >> YOU FEEL THAT? >> YOU THINK I'M GOING TO SIT UP HERE AND TELL YOU SOMEBODY ELSE?
YOU THINK THAT'S THE WAY I OPERATE? THAT SOMEBODY ELSE GOT THAT ON ME?
>> I'M LESLEY STAHL. >> I'M BILL WHITAKER. >> I'M CECILIA VEGA. >> I'M SCOTT PELLEY.
THOSE STORIES AND MORE TONIGHT ON THE 56th SEASON
>>> TONIGHT, SCOTT PELLEY REPORTS FROM UKRAINE WHERE HE SAT DOWN WITH PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY IN THE
CAPITAL, KYIV. >> WE MET PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY AS HE PREPARED TO DEPART KYIV FOR THE UNITED STATES.
THIS WEEK, HE WILL SPEAK AT THE U.N. AND MEET PRESIDENT BIDEN. IT IS A CRITICAL TIME. U.S. OFFICIALS TELL US THAT OVER
NEARLY 600 DAYS, ALMOST HALF A MILLION TROOPS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR WOUNDED—BOTH SIDES, ALL TOGETHER—PART OF THE COST, SO
FAR, OF VLADIMIR PUTIN'S UNPROVOKED INVASION. WE SPOKE TO ZELENSKYY ON THURSDAY.
HE TOLD US THAT HIS PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY TO PREVENT WORLD WAR III. >> Translator:
WE'RE DEFENDING THE VALUES OF THE WHOLE WORLD. ZELENSKYY SAID. AND THESE ARE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE WHO ARE PAYING THE HIGHEST
PRICE. WE ARE TRULY FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM, WE ARE DYING. WE ARE NOT FICTION, WE ARE NOT A
BOOK. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR REAL WITH A NUCLEAR STATE THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY THE WORLD.
>> THE UNITED STATES HAS CONTRIBUTED ABOUT 70 BILLION DOLLARS TO YOUR WAR EFFORT, AND I WONDER IF YOU EXPECT THAT
LEVEL OF SUPPORT TO CONTINUE? [SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE] >> Translator: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
[IS] SUPPORTING UKRAINE FINANCIALLY AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS. I JUST THINK THEY'RE NOT
SUPPORTING ONLY UKRAINE ALONE. IF UKRAINE FALLS, PUTIN WILL SURELY GO FURTHER. WHAT WILL THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA DO WHEN PUTIN REACHES THE BALTIC STATES? WHEN HE REACHES THE POLISH BORDER?
HE WILL. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY. WE HAVE A LOT OF GRATITUDE. WHAT ELSE MUST UKRAINE DO FOR
EVERYONE TO MEASURE OUR HUGE GRATITUDE? WE ARE DYING IN THIS WAR. LOOK, IF UKRAINE FALLS, WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IN TEN YEARS? JUST THINK ABOUT IT. IF THE RUSSIANS REACH POLAND, WHAT'S NEXT?
A THIRD WORLD WAR? >> WHAT WILL IT TAKE? ANOTHER 70 BILLION? >> Translator:
I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. THE WHOLE WORLD [HAS TO] DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO STOP PUTIN, OR WHETHER WE WANT TO START THE
BEGINNING OF A WORLD WAR. WE CAN'T CHANGE PUTIN. RUSSIAN SOCIETY HAS LOST THE RESPECT OF THE WORLD.
THEY ELECTED HIM, AND RE-ELECTED, HIM AND RAISED A SECOND HITLER. THEY DID THIS.
WE CANNOT GO BACK IN TIME. BUT WE CAN STOP IT HERE. UKRAINE STOPPED THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE BUT AT A TERRIBLE COST
--RUINED CITIES, MILLIONS OF REFUGEES--UNTOLD THOUSANDS OF DEAD—ALL FOR VLADIMIR PUTIN'S NATION-BUILDING VANITY.
TODAY THE WAR IS FOUGHT ON A 700 MILE FRONT. THE RED AREA IS THE 20 PERCENT OF UKRAINE STILL OCCUPIED BY
RUSSIA. THIS IS WHERE WESTERN-DONATED TANKS WERE SUPPOSED TO PUNCH THROUGH CUTTING THE RUSSIAN
FORCE IN HALF. BUT TRENCHES, MINEFIELDS AND ARTILLERY STOPPED THE ARMORED ADVANCE.
NOW, IT'S AN ARTILLERY DUEL WITH EACH SIDE FIRING ABOUT 40-THOUSAND SHELLS A DAY. UKRAINIAN INFANTRY IS ADVANCING
BLOODY YARDS AT A TIME. IT'S WORLD WAR I WITH DRONES. >> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE FIGHTING AT THE FRONT?
>> Translator: IT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION. I WILL BE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU.
WE HAVE THE INITIATIVE. THIS IS A PLUS. WE STOPPED THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE AND WE MOVED INTO A
COUNTER-OFFENSIVE. DESPITE THAT, IT'S NOT VERY FAST. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE
MOVING FORWARD EVERY DAY AND LIBERATING TERRITORY. >> YOU HAVE ABOUT SIX WEEKS OF GOOD WEATHER LEFT, AND I WONDER,
AFTER THAT POINT WILL THE FRONT BE FROZEN IN PLACE? >> Translator: WE NEED TO LIBERATE OUR
TERRITORY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND MOVE FORWARD, EVEN IF IT'S LESS THAN HALF A MILE OR A HUNDRED YARDS.
WE MUST DO IT. WE CAN'T LOSE TIME. FORGET ABOUT THE WEATHER, AND THE LIKE.
IN PLACES THAT WE CAN'T GET THROUGH IN AN ARMORED VEHICLE - LET'S FLY. IF WE CAN'T FLY - LET'S SEND
DRONES. WE MUSTN'T GIVE PUTIN A BREAK. IF THE FRONT IS STATIONARY, KRAINIAN DRONES HAVE VAULTED
INTO RUSSIA ITSELF, HITTING THE KREMLIN, WARPLANES, AND MOSCOW HIGH RISES. OFFICIALLY, UKRAINE DOES NOT
ACKNOWLEDGE THESE ATTACKS. >> THE DRONE STRIKES IN RUSSIA ARE BEING DONE ON YOUR ORDERS? >> Translator:
NO. >> NOT ON YOUR ORDERS? >> Translator: WELL, YOU KNOW
>> HOW WAS IT HAPPENING? >> Translator: YOU KNOW WE DON'T SHOOT AT THE TERRITORY OF THE RUSSIAN
FEDERATION. WE DECIDED TO TRY THE QUESTION ANOTHER WAY. >> WHAT MESSAGE IS BEING SENT
WITH THESE DRONE STRIKES IN RUSSIA? >> Translator: YOU DO KNOW THAT WE USE OUR
PARTNERS' WEAPONS ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE ONLY. AND THIS IS TRUE. BUT THESE ARE NOT PUNITIVE OPERATIONS, SUCH AS
THEY CARRY OUT KILLING CIVILIANS. BUT RUSSIA NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WHEREVER IT IS, WHICHEVER PLACE
THEY USE FOR LAUNCHING MISSILES TO STRIKE UKRAINE, UKRAINE HAS EVERY MORAL RIGHT TO SEND A RESPONSE TO THOSE PLCES.
WE ARE RESPONDING TO THEM SAYING: “YOUR SKY IS NOT AS WELL LAST WINTER, IT WAS UKRAINIAN SKIES THAT WERE FILLED WITH
MISSILES IN A RUSSIAN BOMBARDMENT TO DESTROY POWERPLANTS. MILLIONS SHIVERED IN THE DARK.
WITH WINTER APPROACHING AGAIN, ZELENSKYY HAD THIS WARNING. >> Translator: THEY MUST KNOW IF YOU CUT OFF
OUR POWER, DEPRIVE US OF ELECTRICITY, DEPRIVE US OF WATER, DEPRIVE US OF GASOLINE YOU NEED TO KNOW WE HAVE THE
RIGHT TO DO IT TO YOU. SERIOUSLY NOW BECAUSE PUTIN'S MASS INVASION WAS A FIASCO. THE RED MARKS WHERE UKRAINE
STOPPED RUSSIA'S ADVANCE LAST YEAR. IT ALSO MARKS THE STAIN OF RUSSIA'S WAR CRIMES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IN TRAVELLING AROUND UKRAINE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, WE SPOKE TO PEOPLE IN BOMBED-OUT SCHOOLS IN
CHERNIHIV, WE'VE SEEN DESTROYED APARTMENT BLOCKS IN BORODYANKA, A BOMBED HOSPITAL IN IZIUM, CIVILIANS IN A MASS GRAVE IN
BUCHA. THESE ARE NOT MILITARY TARGETS. WHAT IS VLADIMIR PUTIN TRYING TO DO?
>> Translator: TO BREAK US. AND BY CHOOSING CIVILIAN TARGETS, PUTIN WANTED TO ACHIEVE
EXACTLY THIS - TO BREAK [US]. THIS PERSON WHO HAS MADE HIS WAY WITH SUCH BLOODY ACTIONS, WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS SAID, CANNOT
BE TRUSTED. THERE IS NO TRUST IN SUCH A PERSON BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BEEN A HUMAN BEING FOR A LONG TIME.
>> THE RUSSIANS HAVE SUFFERED GRIEVOUS LOSSES WITHOUT RESORTING TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND I WONDER IF YOU BELIEVE THAT
THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR IS NOW BEHIND US. >> Translator: I THINK HE'S GOING TO CONTINUE
THREATENING. HE IS WAITING FOR THE UNITED STATES TO BECOME LESS STABLE. HE THINKS THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
DURING THE U.S. ELECTION. HE WILL BE LOOKING FOR INSTABILITY IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
HE WILL USE THE RISK OF USING NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO FUEL THAT INSTABILITY. HE WILL KEEP ON THREATENING.
THAT U.S. ELECTION HE MENTIONED WORRIES HIM. HIS NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN HAVE BEEN CONTENTIOUS AT
TIMES. BUT ZELENSKYY TENDS TO GET WHAT HE ASKS FOR-- EVEN IF, IN ZELENSKYY'S OPINION, IT'S
GENERALLY, SIX MONTHS TOO LATE. THIS WEEK, ZELENSKYY WILL PRESS MR. BIDEN FOR MISSILES WITH LONGER RANGE.
CONGRESS IS DEBATING ANOTHER 24 BILLION DOLLAR PACKAGE. >> Translator: AND IF UKRAINE HAD ENOUGH OF
THESE MODERN SYSTEMS, WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY RESTORED THE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF UKRAINE.
WE WOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT. THESE SYSTEMS EXIST. >> ARE YOU SAFE HERE? WE FIRST MET ZELENSKYY NOT LONG
AFTER THE INVASION WHEN HIS OFFICE WAS A BLACKED-OUT BUNKER. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, WE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE.
AS WE WERE SETTING UP THE INTERVIEW, THE FORMER ACTOR USED HIS TALENT TO MASK THE STRAIN. HE SMILED AT A COMPLIMENT TO HIS
WIFE. >> YEAH, SO GREAT. >> AND THEN INSTANTLY, HE SEEMED PULLED BENEATH A DEPTH
NO ONE CAN KNOW—WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS THINKING-- IT LOOKED LIKE EMPATHY--- FOR THE LOST AND FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE SAVED.
>> OUR TIME WITH ZELENSKYY BEGAN IN SILENCE, A REMEMBRANCE OF THE FALLEN DURING A CEREMONY TO AWARD MEDALS OF VALOR.
UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS TELL US UKRAINE AND RUSSIA HAVE LOST THEIR PROFESSIONAL ARMIES. NOW THE FORCES ARE MADE UP OF
VOLUNTEERS, DRAFTEES, AND, IN RUSSIA'S CASE, PRISON INMATES. ZELENSKYY COUNTS HIS DEAD IN CASUALTY REPORTS EACH MORNING.
>> YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT, BUT IT MUST BE HUMBLING TO MEET THOSE MEN. I WONDER WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU?
>> Translator: FIRST OF ALL, IT IS A GREAT HONOR FOR ME. I LOOK INTO THEIR EYES, AND IT
MAKES ME PROUD THAT WE HAVE SUCH STRONG PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG RISK, A BIG RISK, YOU CAN DEFINITELY LOSE YOUR LIFE FOR
THE SAKE OF SAVING OTHER LIVES. AND WHEN I SAY, “OTHER LIVES”, I DON'T SPEAK IN GENERAL, I MEAN MY OWN LIFE, THE LIVES OF MY
CHILDREN AND I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY WHAT RISKS ARE INVOLVED. THAT EMPATHY FOR LIFE, HAS
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY REACHING OUT, AGAIN, TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE UNITED STATES HOPING TO CONVINCE THE ALLIES
THAT THE WORLD CAN BE SAFE ONLY WHEN UKRAINE IS WHOLE. >> CAN YOU GIVE UP ANY PART OF UKRAINE FOR PEACE?
>> Translator: NO. THIS IS OUR TERRITORY. >> YOU MUST HAVE IT ALL? INCLUDING CRIMEA?
>> Translator: TODAY YOU AND I, YOU SAID IT TO ME, YOU SAW ME AWARDING PEOPLE MEDALS.
WELL, TODAY IS A DAY LIKE THAT. A WEEK AGO, I GAVE AWARDS TO PARENTS OF SOLDIERS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED.
THERE WERE 24 FAMILIES OF THE DEAD. THERE WAS A WOMAN. SHE WAS WITH THREE CHILDREN.
THERE WERE PARENTS, VERY OLD. THEY COULD BARELY WALK AND THEY HAD HAD ONLY ONE SON. ONE OF THE WOMEN WAS PREGNANT.
SHE ARRIVED HOLDING A BABY IN HER ARMS. AND SHE WAS PREGNANT. AND THAT BABY WILL NEVER SEE, WHAT SHOULD I TELL THEM? THAT
ALL OF THEM DIED SO THAT WE COULD SAY, “IT'S OKAY, RUSSIA YOU CAN TAKE IT ALL.” IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB.
YOU UNDERSTAND ME, RIGHT? GIVING AWARDS TO PEOPLE WHOSE FACES SHOW THEIR WHOLE WORLD HAS COLLAPSED.
AND ALL I CAN GIVE THEM, ALL I CAN GIVE THEM - IS VICTORY.
>> HEAR MORE FROM SCOTT >>> ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS HEADING TO THE UNITED STATES - WITH PLANS
TO MEET PRESIDENT BIDEN AT THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY THIS WEEK, AS HIS COUNTRY FACES PERHAPS ITS WORST DOMESTIC CRISIS EVER. AND
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: IT'S ABOUT ISRAELIS FIGHTING ISRAELIS. MASSIVE NUMBERS HAVE POURED INTO
THE STREETS TO PROTEST THE NETANYAHU COALITION, ISRAEL'S MOST FAR-RIGHT GOVERNMENT EVER, AND ITS MOVE TO WEAKEN THE COURT
SYSTEM. THE JUDICIAL OVERHAUL IS SEEN AS SO RADICAL PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS URGED NETANYAHU TO WALK AWAY
FROM THIS; TELLING HIM ON THE PHONE TO UPHOLD OUR QUOTE “SHARED DEMOCRATIC VALUES.” THIS IS WHAT UP TO
TWO-HUNDRED-THOUSAND ISRAELIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE DONE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR OVER 8 MONTHS.
THIS PACKED PROTEST IS IN TEL AVIV. SOME NIGHTS HAVE TURNED VIOLENT WITH POLICE CLASHES, COUNTER
PROTESTS, AND CARS RAMMING INTO THE CROWDS. IT CAN FEEL LIKE THE COUNTRY IS UNRAVELING.
THE PROTESTS WERE TRIGGERED BY THE GOVERNMENT'S JUDICIAL INITIATIVE TO SAP THE SUPREME COURT OF MUCH OF ITS POWER.
A WIDE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY SEES WEAKENING THE COURT AS A POWER-GRAB, SINCE IT IS THE ONLY CHECK IN ISRAEL ON THE
GOVERNMENT. >> THIS IS A RED ALERT ON OUR DEMOCRACY! >> PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER
DEMONSTRATED IN THEIR LIVES, HAVE POURED INTO THE STREETS -- LIKE EYAL NAVEH. HE LEADS A GROUP OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
MILITARY RESERVISTS, WHO ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT. THEY CALL THEMSELVES “BROTHERS
AND SISTERS IN ARMS” AS IT SAYS ON THEIR T-SHIRTS. THEY'RE PILOTS, FIGHTERS, INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS, SOME ARE WAR HEROES,
MANY STILL GO ON DANGEROUS MISSIONS. >> AND NOW THE DANGER IS FROM INSIDE.
>> MR >> MORE THAN THE ENEMIES FROM WITHOUT. >> NOW, YES, MUCH MORE.
THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAEL. >> WE SPOKE TO 3 OF THEM - SHIRA >> I WAS A COMBAT HELICOPTER
PILOT. >> COMMANDER IN THE SPECIAL FORCES. >> AND OMRI RONEN
>> I'M A FORMER OFFICER IN AN ELITE COMMANDO UNITED STATES. WHEN A REGIME A GOVERNMENT WANTS TO GAIN UNLIMITED POWER, PEOPLE
ARE AFRAID, AND THE PEOPLE IN THE STREETS TODAY ARE AFRAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING GAIN UNLIMITED POWER.
WITHOUT JUDICIAL REVIEW. >> THEY ALL SERVED UNDER NETANYAHU'S PAST GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT HESITATION BUT FEAR THIS
ONE: A COALITION OF SETTLER EXTREMISTS AND THE ULTRA-ORTHODOX. THE HEAD OF NATIONAL SECURITY
HAS HAD MULTIPLE CONVICTIONS, INCLUDING SUPPORTING TERRORISM AGAINST ARABS. THE FINANCE MINISTER IS A SELF-DESCRIBED
FASCIST HOMOPHOBE. AS FOR NETANYAHU - HE'S IN THE MIDST OF THREE SEPARATE TRIALS ON CHARGES OF CORRUPTION.
THE PROTESTORS SAY THAT LAWS HIS GOVERNMENT HAS INTRODUCED - OVER 200 OF THEM - WOULD NOT ONLY WEAKEN THE COURTS BUT CONTROL
THE PRESS AND DIMINISH INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, AND THAT THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACIES LIKE HUNGARY BECAME AUTOCRATIC.
>> WHAT HAPPENED IN HUNGARY AND POLAND WILL NOT HAPPEN HERE. >> THERE IS A TREND AND IT'S GOING AGAINST YOU AROUND THE
WORLD >> YEAH. >> WE'LL BE THE FIRST TO STOP IT.
>> YOU'RE ALL DETERMINED. >> WE ARE NOT JOKING. WE ARE REALLY -- >> SERIOUS.
>> TRYING TO STOP IT. AND WE WILL SUCCEED. >> ONE OF THEIR BIG WORRIES IS THAT WITHOUT A STRONG SUPREME
COURT, THE ULTRA-ORTHODOX BLOC IN THE GOVERNMENT COULD TURN ISRAEL INTO A THEOCRACY, WHERE BIBLICAL LAWS PREVAIL.
>> OUR SUPREME COURT IS OUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE. AND THIS IS OUR LAST SAFEGUARD. WE NEED THEM EMPOWERED. WE NEED THEM
INDEPENDENT. THAT'S WHAT WE FIGHT FOR. >> WHAT IS AT STAKE FOR WOMEN, SHIRA?
>> THAT WE'LL ALL BE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE BUS. >> LITERALLY? >> --LITERALLY.
>> ARE YOU MARRIED? >> I'M MARRIED TO A WOMAN, A DOCTOR. WE HAVE A DAUGHTER, SHE'S ONE YEAR AND EIGHT MONTHS.
>> HER FEAR OF AN ASSAULT ON WOMEN'S AND GAY RIGHTS IS WELL-FOUNDED: A GOVERNMENT MEMBER SAID THE GAY COMMUNITY IS
“MORE DANGEROUS THAN ISIS AND HEZBOLLAH.” ANOTHER MAJOR COMPLAINT IS THAT THE ULTRA-ORTHODOX HARDLY PAY
ANY TAXES AND DON'T HAVE TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY, WHICH IS COMPULSORY FOR ALL OTHER JEWISH ISRAELIS.
THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THAT IS NOT FAIR. BUT DEFYING THE COURT, THE ORTHODOX PLAN TO PASS A LAW IN
THE KNESSET, ISRAEL'S PARLIAMENT, THAT WOULD TURN THEIR UNOFFICIAL MILITARY EXEMPTION INTO AN IRONCLAD LAW.
>> THEY WANT A LAW THAT THEY WILL NOT GO TO THE ARMY. MY 15-YEARS-OLD, IN THREE YEARS HE WILL GO TO THE ARMY.
I'M GONNA NOT SLEEP, LIKE, THREE YEARS. AND THE OTHER FATHER THE ULTRA-ORTHODOX FATHER, WILL SLEEP ALL THE TIME.
>> EYAL NAVEH, FATHER OF 6, IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS, HE'S WORKING AT BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS ROUND THE CLOCK.
HE AND RON SERVED TOGETHER IN ISRAEL'S MOST FAMOUS COMMANDO UNIT, LIKE THE GREEN BERETS, CALLED SAYERET MATKAL.
THEY'RE USING THEIR MILITARY SKILLS TO LEAD A CAMPAIGN OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND HARASSMENT, INCLUDING AT THE
HOMES OF KNESSET MEMBERS TO PRESSURE THEM TO VOTE DOWN THE JUDICIAL OVERHAUL. >> YOU WANT TO MAKE THOSE
ELECTED OFFICIALS UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS WRONG. YOU WANT TO WAKE UP AND SHAKE UP PEOPLE. AND YOU DON'T
DO THAT BY BEING NICE. >> THAT MEANS FORMING HUMAN CHAINS IN FRONT OF THE DEFENSE MINISTRY.
THEY BLOCK MAJOR TRAFFIC ARTERIES. THEIR BARRICADE OF THE KNESSET BROUGHT OUT POLICE WATER CANNONS.
MEMBERS, INCLUDING RON, HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND INTERROGATED. HERE THEY'RE SURROUNDING THE CAR OF JUSTICE MINISTER AND VICE
PRIME MINISTER YARIV LEVIN, THE ARCHITECT OF THE CONTROVERSIAL JUDICIAL OVERHAUL. THEY WREAK HAVOC OUTSIDE HIS
HOME BY BURNING TIRES AND DISTURBING HIS NEIGHBORS. HE SAYS HE RESPECTS THEIR RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT TO REMEMBER HIS
GOVERNMENT WON THE ELECTION. >> NO DEMOCRACY CAN ACCEPT A SITUATION THAT THE GOVERNMENT, THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT THAT HAS
A MAJORITY IN THE PARLIAMENT, WON'T BE ABLE TO PASS ANY BILL AND TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE ARE PROTESTS, BECAUSE THERE ARE
SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE AGAINST IT. >> YOU SAY THAT THE PEOPLE WHO FEAR THAT THERE WON'T BE EQUAL
RIGHTS FOR EVERYBODY ARE COMPLETELY MISTAKEN AND THEIR CHARGES ARE BASELESS. HOWEVER, YOU ARE PART OF THE MOST RIGHT
WING GOVERNMENT THAT ISRAEL HAS EVER HAD. >> I'M PROUD TO BE PART OF THAT GOVERNMENT, AND I THINK THAT'S
WHAT ISRAELIS WANTED TO SEE. >> BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR CABINET WHO HAVE MADE OPENLY RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC
STATEMENTS, AND THEY'RE MINISTERS. >> I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT THAT SUPPORT THIS GOVERNMENT STAND FIRMLY BEHIND DEMOCRATIC AND LIBERAL PRINCIPLES.
>> BUT UNDER YOUR RULES, IF THEY ALL PASS -- THE GOVERNMENT COULD OVERRULE THE COURT. AM I WRONG? >> THIS IS NOT MY-- WHAT I'M
OFFERING. THE SITUATION IN ISRAEL IS THAT THE SUPREME COURT IS ABOVE THE GOVERNMENT, IS ABOVE THE PARLIAMENT, IS EVEN
ABOVE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TO BALANCE IT. >> HE SAYS THE COURT IS AN ELITE
BASTION THAT TOO OFTEN OVERRULES LAWMAKERS CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. THE FIGHT OVER THE COURT HAS BROUGHT THE COUNTRY TO A COLD
CIVIL WAR. IN JULY, THE FIRST STEP OF LEVIN'S JUDICIAL OVERHAUL PASSED, SEVERELY LIMITING THE
COURT'S POWER TO STRIKE DOWN GOVERNMENT DECISIONS. SOME TEN-THOUSAND MILITARY RESERVISTS WERE SO UPSET, THEY
PLEDGED TO STOP SHOWING UP FOR DUTY. SOME OF NETANYAHU'S ALLIES SUGGESTED THEY SHOULD BE TRIED,
EVEN EXECUTED. >> IF YOU WANT PILOTS TO BE ABLE TO FLY AND SHOOT BOMBS AND MISSILES INTO HOUSES KNOWING
THEY MIGHT BE KILLING CHILDREN, THEY MUST HAVE THE STRONGEST CONFIDENCE IN THE PEOPLE MAKING THOSE DECISIONS.
>> IN THE MORAL VALUES OF THEM. >> EXACTLY. >> WHEN THEY MADE THEIR DECISION, MANY BROTHERS AND
SISTERS IN ARMS CAME TO TEARS. >> IT WAS THE HARDEST THINGS TO DO. WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR DNA A SOLDIER, THIS IS WHAT I DO, 25
YEARS, IT'S IN MY BLOOD. IT'S LIKE TO CUT A HAND. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU, YOUR GROUP, THAT
YOU'RE UNPATRIOTIC AND THAT YOU'RE TRAITORS. >> THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT. I AM A PATRIOT. EVERY YEAR
I GO TO RESERVE AND SERVE. I LEAVE THE HOUSE, I LEAVE MY CHILDREN, I LEAVE MY WIFE, I LEAVE EVERYONE TO SERVE. MY
FRIENDS DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY. >> THE MILITARY HAS WARNED THAT LOSING SO MANY PILOTS, AND HIGH-RANKING RESERVISTS COULD
JEOPARDIZE READINESS AND HURT NATIONAL SECURITY. BUT SEVERAL FORMER HEADS OF THE MILITARY AND MOSSAD SUPPORT THE
PROTEST AND BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR ALLOWING THE SITUATION TO COME TO THIS. >> IF YOU DID FIND OUT THAT
ISRAEL WAS AT RISK BECAUSE OF SO MANY RESERVISTS LEAVING, WOULD YOU STEP BACK AND WITHDRAW YOUR PROPOSALS?
>> WHAT'S THE PRICE OF DEMOCRACY? WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING ME TO DO? WE'LL TELL THE ISRAEL CITIZENS, "OKAY,
DON'T GO TO VOTE. THERE'S NO NEED TO HOLD ELECTIONS." WE'LL COME TO THOSE EX-MILITARISTS AND WILL ASK THEM
WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO OR NOT. ONE ISSUE RARELY MENTIONED BY THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS
IS THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF THE WEST BANK. >> IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE PALESTINIAN RIGHTS AS PART OF
WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR, THEN HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY? >> MANY ISRAELIS HAVE DIFFERENT
OPINIONS ON THE PALESTINIAN CONFLICT. AND IT'S A VERY DIVIDING ISSUE. >> SO, YOUR COALITION WOULD
SPLINTER? THE PROTEST COALITION-- >> THE -- YEAH, IF YOU WANNA BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE OCCUPATION ONE
DAY, AND I THINK THAT EVERYONE HERE DOES, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT AND TO SOLVE IT IS TO MAKE SURE ISRAEL REMAINS A DEMOCRACY.
>> THIS PAST WEEK THE SUPREME COURT HELD A HEARING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO REVOKE THE FIRST STEP OF LEVIN'S JUDICIAL PACKAGE. IF
THE COURT DOES, NETANYAHU WON'T SAY WHETHER HE WILL COMPLY. IF HE DOESN'T, IT WOULD LEAD TO AN UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS, LEAVING IT
UP TO THE MILITARY, THE POLICE AND THE CITIZENS TO DECIDE WHOSE ORDERS TO FOLLOW: THE COURT'S OR THE ELECTED OFFICIALS'.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS SAYS IT'S RED ALERT FOR ISRAEL'S FUTURE: WITH DEMOCRACY AT STAKE >> BUT YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF
DEMOCRACY YOU CAN'T FORGET THIS IS A GOVERNMENT THAT WAS VOTED IN BY THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. AND THAT'S DEMOCRACY.
>> EVERY DEMOCRACY THAT TURNED INTO A DICTATORSHIP WAS ELECTED IN A DEMOCRATIC WAY. THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACIES TURN INTO
DICTATORSHIPS--
>>> CONVENTIONALLY, 60 MINUTES DOESN'T PROFILE THE SAME SUBJECT TWICE IN TWO SEASONS. BUT CONVENTION DOESN'T INTERSECT
WITH PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMER DEION SANDERS. LAST FALL, WE MET SANDERS IN MISSISSIPPI, WHERE HE WAS
COACHING JACKSON STATE TO PROMINENCE IN A CONFERENCE OF HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
THEN THE MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF COACH PRIME HIGH-STEPPED IT TO BOULDER, TO THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, TAKING HIS BLAZINGLY
SINGULAR STYLE WITH HIM. THERE, HE HASN'T JUST AWOKEN A DORMANT PROGRAM; BUT HAS TRANSFORMED IT INTO THE TALK OF
COLLEGE FOOTBALL, IF NOT AMERICAN SPORTS, SANDERS IS REVERED. HE IS REVILED.
BUT HIS SUDDEN IMPACT IS INDISPUTABLE. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO RADICALLY DIFFERENT
ENVIRONMENTS, UNAPOLOGETIC AS EVER, HE'S SHAKEN THE SPORT LIKE A SNOWGLOBE. >> ARE YOU THE CHANGE AGENT? ARE
YOU THE ULTIMATE CHANGE AGENT-- >> I-I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I TRULY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I MAKE FOLKS NERVOUS, MAN. I GET FOLKS
MOVIN' IN THEIR SEAT. I GET FOLKS TWIDDLIN' THEIR THUMBS. I GET THEM THINKIN' AND SECOND-GUESSIN' THEIRSELF. YOU
KNOW -- HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO CLEAN THAT YOU WALKED IN, AND SOMEBODY LOOKED DOWN AT YOU, TEN THEY LOOKED AT THEMSELVES?
THEY HAD TO CHECK THEMSELVES BECAUSE YOU WERE SO CLEAN? I HAVE THAT EFFECT. >> THAT'S THE VIBE YOU'RE
GETTIN-- >> NO, I HAVE THAT EFFECT. THAT WAS SOME GOOD GAME RIGHT THERE, BOY.
GOD, THAT WAS GOOD. WE AIN'T GOT NEXT, WE GOT NOW. WE AIN'T COMING NO MO' PLAYERS >> WE HERE, WE HERE, WE HERE, WE
HERE, WE HERE >> THIS WAS THE SCENE IN THE LOCKER ROOM TWO WEEKENDS AGO. >> GIVE ME MY THEME MUSIC.
>> BEFORE THE COLORADO BUFFALOES AND THEIR NEW COACH, DEION SANDERS, OPENED THE SEASON A 21-POINT UNDERDOG, AT TCU.
>> DO YOUR JOB, EVERYBODY DO YOUR JOB. >> COLORADO WAS FRESH OFF A 1-11 SEASON. TCU WAS FRESH FROM
PLAYING IN LAST SEASON'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. WITH SKILL AND WILL, THE BUFFALOES WON 45-42, BEHIND
THEIR STAR QUARTERBACK, SHEDEUR SANDERS. BUT THE REAL FOCUS—AS EVER—WAS ON SHEDEUR'S 56-YEAR-OLD FATHER.
IT WAS HIS FIRST WIN AS COACH OF A POWER FIVE SCHOOL, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. >> DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE
UNDERESTIMATED? YOU COME HERE, AND IT'S, "I DON'T KNOW IF COACH PRIME CAN WIN."
YOU MUST HAVE HEARD WHAT SOME OF THESE OTHER COACHES WERE SAYIN', BOTH SECRETLY AND OUT LOUD--- >> THAT'S FEAR.
>> FEAR. >> YEAH, THAT'S FEAR. THAT'S LIKE, "HEY, MAN. SHOOT, WE DON'T WANNA LET THAT ENGINE
THAT COULD GET GOIN' BECAUSE IF THAT ENGINE THAT COULD GET GOIN', HE GOIN' START SAYIN', 'I THINK I CAN. I THINK I CAN.' AND
SOONER OR LATER, HE GONNA START SAYIN', 'I KNOW I CAN. I KNOW I CAN.' THEN SOONER OR LATER, HE GONNA START SAYIN', 'I DID
THAT.'" >> HIS COLORADO DEBUT DREW NATIONAL ATTENTION AND MONSTER TV RATINGS. INTEREST COMPOUNDED
LAST WEEKEND, WHEN THE BUFFALOES PLAYED BEFORE THE BIGGEST HOME CROWD IN 15 YEARS AND BEAT RIVAL NEBRASKA.
THIS WEEKEND? BOTH FOX AND ESPN DISPATCHED THEIR PREGAME
PREGAME SHOWS, THE ROCK INCLUDED,TO BOULDER .THEN THE BUFFALOES RALLIED LATE TO BEAT COLORADO STATE IN A DOUBLE
OVERTIME THRILLER. THREE GAMES INTO THE SEASON, THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ROCKIES MARK THE UNLIKELY EPICENTER OF AN ENTIRE SPORT.
>> WHAT'S THIS BEEN LIKE FOR YOU? >> IT'S-- IT'S BEEN-- A LOTTA FUN.
>> RICK GEORGE, WHO HIRED COACH PRIME, HAS BEEN COLORADO'S ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR A DECADE. >> IT'S GREAT-- FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO BRING THIS PROGRAM BACK TO RELEVANCY. AND WE HAD FAILED IN MY PREVIOUS NINE YEARS-- TEN YEARS.
>> FAIR TO CALL THIS A BIT OF A HAIL MARY? >> IT WASN'T A HAIL MARY, BUT IT WAS A MOMENT IN TIME FOR OUR--
UNIVERSITY AND OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT THAT WE WERE EITHER GONNA BE RELEVANT OR WE WERE GONNA BE IRRELEVANT.
>> IT'S EARLY TO QUANTIFY THE FULL PRIME EFFECT . BUT MERCHANDISE SALES? UP 819 PERCENT FROM LAST SEASON.
INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS? UP MORE THAN TENFOLD. SEASON TICKETS? SOLD OUT .SANDERS MIGHT BE THE IDEAL COACH FOR THESE SHIFTING
TIMES IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL..ANOTHER SON, DEION JUNIOR, IS PART OF THE ARMY OF VIDEOGRAPHERS FILMING THE TEAM
NONSTOP FOR YOUTUBE AND AN UPCOMING DOCUSERIES. >> THIS TEAM WON ONE GAME LAST SEASON.
>> UH HUR HUH. >> IS THAT IN A WAY A POINT OF APPEAL? >> GOD WOULDN'T
RELOCATE ME TO SOMETHING THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE, DO IT? HE HAD TO FIND THE MOST DISAPPOINTING AND THE
MOST-- DIFFICULT TASK. AND THIS IS WHAT IT WAS. AND THIS IS WHAT IT IS. AND I LOVE THAT. >> THIS WASN'T DISSIMILAR TO
WHAT HE TOLD US LAST YEAR THAT “GOD HAD CALLED HIM COLLECT” TO COME TO JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY AND ELEVATE, YES, THE FOOTBALL
PROGRAM BUT ALSO ALL HBCUS HE STAYED THREE SEASONS, BUT THE SAME NIGHT LAST DECEMBER THAT JSU WON THE CONFERENCE
CHAMPIONSHIP, SANDERS ANNOUNCED HE WAS OFF TO COLORADO TO CLIMB ANOTHER MOUNTAIN. YOU LEFT JACKSON STATE, AND YOU
YOU LEFT JACKSON STATE AND YOU LEFT QUICK. WHAT DID YOU TELL THOSE KIDS-- >> NO, I DIDN'T LEAVE QUICK.
>> WHAT DID YOU TELL THOSE KIDS? >> I DIDN'T LEAVE QUICK. >> YOU WERE -- >> I DIDN'T LEAVE
QUICK. I LEFT WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE. JON WERTHEIM: ALRIGHT DEION >> WE FINISHED.
MOST COACHES GET A NEW JOB AND THEY LEAVE EXPEDITIOUSLY, AND I FINISHED THE TASK. >>YOU SAY FINISHED THE TASK, WAS
THERE-- WAS THERE MORE WORK YOU COULD'VE DONE IN JACKSON, OR-- DEION SANDERS: I THINK WE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB IN JACKSON. I
THINK WE LAID DOWN A TREMENDOUS BLUEPRINT. WE TRIED TO PRESS SANDERS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING HIS
ABANDONING THE MISSION AT JACKSON STATE HE'S HINTED THE SCHOOL'S LACK OF FORWARD THINKING MAY HAVE FACTORED IN
HIS DECISION. BUT ON THIS TOPIC, HE WAS ABOUT AS ELUSIVE AS HE WAS RETURNING PUNTS FOR TOUCHDOWNS IN THE NFL JON
WERTHEIM: WHAT DID YOU TELL THOSE KIDS WHEN YOU LEFT? >> UM, OPPORTUNITY CALLED. SOONER OR LATER IN LIFE-- THERE
WILL BE OPPORTUNITY THAT KNOCKS AT YOUR DOOR. AND AT THIS JUNCTURE IN MY LIFE, I FELT LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR NOT ONLY ME,
BUT FOR MY KIDS AS WELL, WAS TREMENDOUS. NOT ONLY DID WE TAKE SEVERAL KIDS FROM THAT TEAM, THREE TRAINERS, MAYBE 12 TO 14
STAFFERS. SO WE AFFORDED TO GIVE PEOPLE A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY HERE. >> THE DISTANCE BETWEEN JACKSON
AND BOULDER IS A THOUSAND MILES AND IMMEASURABLY FURTHER CULTURALLY. SANDERS WENT FROM A CITY THAT IS 83 PERCENT BLACK TO
ONE THAT IS ONE PERCENT BLACK .FROM A PLACE WITH A WATER CRISIS; TO THE KIND OF HIPSTER COLLEGE TOWN WHERE THERE'S A
SHOP DEVOTED TO KITES. JON WERTHEIM: WHAT ARE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS? >> BEAUTIFUL. UNBELIEVABLE. JUST
THE WHOLE PEACE AND SERENITY OF IT ALL. I HAD NEVER FATHOM COMIN' HERE. I AIN'T EVER EVEN VACATION HERE, MAN. I AIN'T EVER
BEEN SKIIN' OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, SNOWBOARDING OR WHATEVER, ALL THE STUFF. YOU KNOW - I AIN'T NEVER DONE NONE OF THAT.
JON WERTHEIM: YOU DON'T EVEN FLY FISH. >> NO, I DON'T. I FISH, I'M FLY WHILE I FISH, BUT I DON'T
(LAUGHTER) FLY FISH. >> STILL, HE WASTED NO TIME INGRATIATING HIMSELF IN THE COMMUNITY... INCLUDING A VISIT
TO PEGGY COPPOM, A 98-YEAR-OLD BUFFALOES SUPERFAN. >> ARE YOU PRIME? >> THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL ME.
>> DO I CALL YOU THAT OR DEION? >> NO, NO, CALL ME ANYTHING YOU WANT. WE GOOD. DECEMBER, SANDERS ENCOURAGED
PLAYERS TO ENTER THE TRANSFER PORTAL—AN OPEN MARKET FOR ATHLETES TO FIND NEW SCHOOLS— TEAM MEETING NAT: I PROMISE YOU
IT IS MY JOB TO GET RID OF YOU. AND MAKE ROOM FOR SUPERIOR TALENT HE PLANNED TO BRING IN. MORE THAN FIFTY PLAYERS
EVENTUALLY TRANSFERRED OUT. >>YOU GOT HERE, AND YOU DIDN'T PULL PUNCHES. YOU TOLD SOME OF THESE GUYS- DEION SANDERS: HAVE
I EVER? YOU TAKE A TEAM THAT'S WON ONE GAME, AND YOU FIRE THE WHOLE COACHIN' STAFF. SO, WHO DID THE COACHING STAFF RECRUIT?
THE KIDS. SO, THE KIDS ARE JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE COACHING STAFF. AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT A MULTITUDE OF
THEM COULDN'T HELP US GET TO WHERE WE WANTED TO GO. YOU TOLD MOST OF THESE GUYS "THE MORE YOU JUMP IN, THE MORE ROOM
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE." "THOSE OF YOU WE DON'T RUN OFF, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE YOU QUIT." >> YEAH.
>> YOU MADE IT VERY CLEAR. >> YEAH, NOW, IF YOU WENT FOR THAT, IF YOU WAS-- WERE ABLE TO LET WORDS RUN YOU OFF,
YOU AIN'T FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE A OLD-SCHOOL STAFF. WE COACH HARD. WE COACH TOUGH. WE'RE DISCIPLIN-- 'NARIANS. SO, IF
YOU'RE-- ALLOWING VERBIAGE TO RUN YOU OFF BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL SECURE WITH YOUR ABILITY, YOU AIN'T FOR US.
>> IF SOME KID SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? NO. I'M STAYIN'. YOU'RE NOT GONNA RUN ME OFF WITH YOUR WORDS."
>> RIGHT, STAY. >> SO. >> PROVE IT. >> I'M SURE THAT YOUR
STRAIGHT TALK WAS APPRECIATED BY SOME. BUT-- IS THIS SCORCHED-EARTH POLICY GOOD FOR-- FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL OR FOR THE
KIDS? >> I THINK TRUTH IS GOOD FOR KIDS. WE'RE SO BUSY LYIN', WE DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE
THE TRUTH NO MORE IN-- IN SOCIETY. WE WANT EVERYBODY TO FEEL GOOD. THAT'S NOT-- THAT'S NOT THE WAY LIFE IS. NOW, IT IS
MY JOB TO MAKE SURE I HAVE WHAT WE NEED TO WIN. THAT MAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL GOOD. WINNING DOES--
>> I GOT TO PUSH BACK ON THIS. YOU'RE THE FATHER OF -- >> YES. >> FATHER OF COLLEGE ATHLETES.
>> FIVE, YES. >> IF THEY CALLED YOU AND SAY, "HEY, WE GOT A NEW COACH, AND THEY'RE TELLIN' ME TO
GET IN THE TRANSFER PORTAL." DEION SANDERS: I'D SAY, "SON, YOU MUST BE H-- Y-- YOU MUST NOT BE DOIN' WELL."
>> THAT'S WHAT YOU'D SAY. >> YOU, YOU MUST NOT BE DOIN' WELL BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE A ASSET AND NOT A
LIABILITY." I'M HONEST WITH MY KIDS. >> HIS KIDS INCLUDE SHEDEUR, THE STAR QUARTERBACK, AND SHILO, A
STARTING SAFETY JON WERTHEIM SOT: YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA THAT YOU WERE GONNA BE THIS GOOD AND CAPTURE THE COUNTRY THE WAY YOU
HAVE? >> YEAH. >> OF COURSE. >> YOU DID?
>> YEAH. >> I MEAN, WE BOTH DIDN'T COME HERE, HAVE OUR DAD COACHIN' JUST TO LOSE (LAUGHS) VO: A YEAR
AGO TO THE DAY, WE WATCHED SHEDEUR, FLING AND ZING TOUCHDOWN PASSES AT JACKSON STATE.
>> BUT THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER HE COULD DO THE SAME AGAINST STIFFER COMPETITION. WELL, IN HIS FIRST
TWO GAMES AT COLORADO, HE THREW FOR NEARLY ONE THOUSAND YARDS, WITHOUT AN INTERCEPTION. YOU WERE PUTTIN' UP BIG NUMBERS
AT JACKSON STATE. YOU'RE DOIN' IT HERE AGAINST TEAMS OF THE BIG TEN SHEDEUR SANDERS SOT: YEAH, THE JON WERTHEIM SOT: BIG 12.
SHEDEUR SANDERS SOT: YEAH, IT JON WERTHEIM SOT: MUST BE GRATIFYING. >> YEAH, NO, THESE TWO GAMES WAS
THE MOST YARDS I PASSED FOR IN MY CAREER. SO IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST EXCITIN' KNOWNIN' THAT, YOU KNOW, IT TRANSLATIN' LIKE ON A
BIGGER STAGE. I JUST FEEL BETTER. >> HE'S ALSO—AND, AGAIN, WELCOME TO TODAY'S COLLEGE
SPORTS—TRANSLATED HIS SUCCESS INTO RICHES, THANKS TO NIL, NAME/IMAGE/LIKENESS INCOME. SO MUCH SO HE DRIVES A $190,000
MERCEDES MAYBACH AND SHEDEUR MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THE TEAM'S BEST PLAYER. TRAVIS HUNTER ALSO FOLLOWED COACH PRIME FROM
JACKSON TO COLORADO. HIS COACH LETS HIM PLAY OFFENSE AND DEFENSE, VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF IN THE MODERN COLLEGE GAME.
YOU'VE GOT TWO REALLY GOOD HEISMAN-QUALITY PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM. >> YES.
>> YOUR SON AND TRAVIS HUNTER. >> YES, SIR. >> FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON, YOU'RE
ALREADY PUBLICLY TALKING ABOUT TRAVIS HUNTER'S HEISMAN CHANCES. WHO DOES THAT? >> A COACH THAT
LOVES HIS KIDS. A COACH THAT UNDERSTANDS THAT'S WHAT THOSE KIDS DESIRE. AND I'M SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. THAT'S WHAT WE TOLD
THEM WHEN THEY WERE COMING AND CHOOSING TO PLAY FOR US. MY KIDS THAT PLAY FOR ME, THEY DIDN'T CHOOSE A UNIVERSITY. THEY CHOSE
ME. THAT'S A DIFFERENCE. >> COACHES HAVE CHOSEN TO JOIN SANDERS AS WELL. THE STAFF HE OVERHAULED AND UPGRADED INCLUDES
FORMER HEAD COACHES. >> SWITCH! >> AND FORMER COORDINATORS FROM SCHOOLS LIKE ALABAMA.
NOW THAT YOU'RE A POWER FIVE GUY, WHO'S THE BEST COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY? >> LET ME SEE.
LET ME SEE A MIRROR SO I CAN LOOK AT IT. (LAUGHTER) >> FEEL THAT. >> WHAT, YOU THINK
I'M GONNA SIT UP HERE AND TELL YOU SOMEBODY ELSE? YOU-- YOU THINK-- YOU THINK THAT'S THE WAY I OPERATE? THAT SOMEBODY ELSE
GOT THAT ON ME? BUT I TELL YOU THIS, I LOVE AND I ADORE AND I RESPECT AND EVERY TIME I DO A COMMERCIAL WITH COACH SABAN,
IT'S A GIFT. JUST SITTING IN HIS PRESENCE AND HEARING HIM AND-- AND THROWING SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE SO I COULD HEAR HIS
VIEWPOINT ON IT. BECAUSE HE'S FORGOTTEN MORE THINGS THAN I MAY EVER ACCOMPLISH. SO I'M A STUDENT LOOKING UP TO THIS
WONDERFUL TEACHER SAYING, "JUST-- JUST-- JUST THROW ME A CRUMB OF WHAT YOU KNOW." >> FOR ALL THE BLING AND
BLUSTER, THERE IS SOME HUMILITY AND THE CURRENT MANIA MAY DIE DOWN A BIT AS COLORADO FACES A WELTER OF TOUGHER
OPPONENTS THE REST OF THE SEASON. BUT DEION SANDERS HAS INVIGORATED A CAMPUS, A PROGRAM,
AN ENTIRE SPORT. >> GAME BALL TO PEGGY. >> AND DAMN, IF HE HASN'T MADE IT FUN.
>> GIVE ME MY THEME MUSIC! >>> THE LAST MINUTE OF "60 MINUTES," SPONSOR BID UNITED HEALTH CARE.
THERE FOR WHAT MATTERS. >>> TONIGHT'S BROADCAST OPENS THE 56TH SEASON OF 60 MINUTES. FROM THE BEGINNING, DON HEWITT
