1:25

Good morning. I'm Jane Pauley

1:28

and this is Sunday morning.

1:30

Yesterday in front of

1:32

St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican

1:34

City, dozens of world leaders

1:37

and religious figures were

1:39

among the many gathering to

1:41

pay final respects to Pope

1:44

Francis who died last Monday

1:46

at age 88. The funeral followed three

1:48

days during which the late

1:50

pontiff, Flain State, visited by

1:52

thousands of mourners, saying goodbye

1:54

to a leader known for

1:57

his humility, and attitudes more

1:59

include inclusive, and progressive

2:01

than those of his predecessors.

2:03

Seth Doan reports on

2:06

the Pontiff's funeral, his legacy,

2:08

and the critical decision

2:10

awaiting church leaders, naming a

2:12

successor. Remembering

2:16

and saying goodbye to one pope.

2:18

To lose the pope is to

2:21

lose our father. So it's jarring

2:23

in a similar way as if

2:25

your own father would pass away.

2:27

While looking ahead to the next.

2:29

Often the conclave is described as

2:31

a referendum on the pope, in

2:33

this case Pope Francis. Do you

2:36

see it that way? I would

2:38

say no. It's different than any

2:40

other kind of normal political infrastructure,

2:42

the churches. It's a family. And

2:44

so the conclave is much more

2:46

like having a big family meeting

2:48

and discussing together how is the

2:51

family doing. The view from the

2:53

Vatican ahead this Sunday morning. YouTube

2:57

turned 20 this past week.

2:59

Our David Pogue will trace just

3:01

how far this global video

3:03

giant has come, and where it

3:06

might be going. Everyone

3:10

knows that YouTube is big,

3:12

but this big? We are

3:15

the number one streamer on

3:17

television screens. More streaming than

3:19

all the paid services, the

3:21

HBO, Disney and Netflix. Yeah,

3:23

the distinction between traditional TV

3:26

success and YouTube success is

3:28

really. It's a mirage. Yeah.

3:30

See this movie? Later on

3:32

Sunday morning, YouTube at 20

3:34

years old. Happy birthday, YouTube.

too soon. Tony

4:00

Award winner Jonathan Groff didn't

4:02

need much convincing to play

4:04

Bobby Darren on Broadway. I

4:07

watched these clips of him

4:09

on YouTube and it was

4:11

like he was reaching out

4:13

and gripping my heart because

4:16

I could see his passion

4:18

and I could see his

4:20

presence. Coming up on Sunday

4:22

morning, the gripping life of

4:25

Bobby Darren. Also

4:28

ahead this Sunday morning. Lee

Prinkley and more. It's

5:05

the last Sunday morning of

5:07

the month April 27th 2025.

5:09

And we'll be right back. To

5:22

begin this morning, the

5:25

funeral of Pope Francis.

5:27

Our Seth Stone reports

5:29

from Rome. In death, as in

5:32

life, Francis cast aside

5:34

formality. He wanted a

5:37

simple funeral for a

5:39

common man. But he was

5:42

a Pope, and simple is

5:44

hard to do in the

5:46

shadow of St. Peter's Basilica.

5:50

Royal's presidents and cardinals in

5:52

a sea of red joined

5:54

hundreds of thousands of the

5:56

faithful at the Pope's funeral

5:59

mass Saturday. The

6:01

service underlined both history and

6:03

continuity. Francis was the 266th

6:05

Pope of this 2,000-year-old institution.

6:08

In this singular office, Francis

6:10

still stood out. He was

6:12

the first Pope from the

6:15

Americas, the first Jesuit Pope,

6:17

and despite being the spiritual

6:19

leader of nearly one and

6:22

a half billion Catholics, those

6:24

who knew him say he

6:26

prized being normal. His

6:30

plain wooden coffin was

6:32

driven through Rome winding

6:34

its way past the

6:36

Colosseum as thousands bid

6:38

farewell, including American Sonia

6:40

Sweeney and her family.

6:42

This Pope in particular has

6:44

been really wonderful for

6:46

the new generations because he

6:48

was so welcoming and loving

6:51

and I think he really

6:53

opened up the church not

6:55

only for Catholics but for,

6:57

you know, everybody. Francis chose

6:59

to be buried outside of the

7:01

Vatican, the first pontiff in more

7:04

than a century to do so.

7:06

At the Basilica of St. Mary

7:08

Major, his tombstone will be marked

7:11

just Franciscus. No mention of that

7:13

title, Pope, an eternal message of

7:15

humility. You can never fully be

7:18

prepared for the loss of something

7:20

like this. You know, someone who

7:23

for the last 13 years almost...

7:25

was the sort of visible sign

7:27

of unity in the church. Dominic

7:29

Walters from Minnesota is studying to become

7:31

a priest at Rome's Pontifical North American

7:34

College, along with Deacon Robert Williams, who's

7:36

from Oklahoma. Both met Pope Francis. I

7:38

remember he joked, make sure and be

7:41

normal priests, do things like play sports,

7:43

you know, play instruments, do normal things.

7:45

And so I, you know, it's funny

7:47

how that stuck with me is that

7:50

now here every time I play pick

7:52

up soccer, pick up basketball, I always

7:54

think like this one's for you, Pope

7:57

Francis. So he was just a man

7:59

of normalcy. He wanted us to

8:01

imitate that. He told CBS

8:03

News is Nora O'Donnell in

8:05

a rare interview with an

8:07

American broadcast network that he

8:09

wanted to leave a legacy

8:11

that is not about himself.

8:13

Do you like when you

8:15

are called the People's Pope?

8:17

The Pope? Of the people?

8:19

I've always been a pastor.

8:21

You are a pastor for

8:23

the people, not for yourself.

8:25

A pastor has to be

8:27

for the people. Born in

8:30

Argentina, the son of Italian

8:32

immigrants, Jorge Mario Bergolio took

8:34

the name Francis as Pontif,

8:36

after the same two rejected

8:39

wealth. Railing against the, quote,

8:41

virus of consumerism, he said

8:43

he wanted a poor church

8:46

for the poor. All those

8:48

people around us who are

8:50

trapped in a cycle of

8:52

poverty, they too need to

8:55

be given hope. In his

8:57

2015 address to Congress, a

8:59

first for any Pope, he

9:01

expressed his concern about inequality,

9:04

a theme throughout his papacy.

9:06

The fight against poverty and

9:08

hunger must be fought constantly.

9:10

And in a powerful gesture

9:13

and break with a pre-easter

9:15

tradition, the Pope would wash

9:17

the feet of non-Christians, including

9:20

Muslim and Hindu refugees, as

9:22

well as women prisoners. He

9:24

definitely made the Pope a

9:26

more proshable, accessible figure, but

9:29

also a more of a

9:31

celebrity in the modern mold.

9:33

Francis Raka covered this Pope

9:35

mostly as a reporter for

9:38

the Wall Street Journal. The

9:41

pontiff traveled in simple cars and

9:43

traded the lavish apostolic palace for

9:45

a room at a Vatican guest

9:47

house. People called him the people's

9:49

Pope, but that reminds us of

9:51

the people's princess, princess Diana. Obviously

9:54

very different figures, and yet in

9:56

some ways they were relatable. Francis

9:58

became a true modern celebrity that

10:00

people like... identified with, they felt

10:02

they knew him personally. Did that

10:04

change the church itself in any

10:06

way? Is it tone over teaching?

10:09

People felt they understood what he

10:11

was saying based on a sound

10:13

bite and that drove more rigorous

10:15

people in the church, it drove

10:17

them crazy because they would say

10:19

no that was taken out of

10:22

context, that was just a sound

10:24

bite. For instance he made a

10:26

provocative statement on his first international

10:28

trip. saying who am I to

10:30

judge in reference to gay priests?

10:32

The Pope understood communications very well

10:34

and he was very much in

10:37

control of the message. He didn't

10:39

change the catechism on contraception or

10:41

on homosexuality, but he changed the

10:43

people's perceptions of how important those

10:45

teachings were and certainly a lot

10:47

of people concluded that it was

10:50

a matter of private conscience. But

10:52

his liberal leanings heightened division in

10:54

the church. Whether he will be

10:56

seen as very pivotal in terms

10:58

of doctrine of the church, whether

11:00

he was the first in a

11:02

liberalizing trend or was an anomaly,

11:05

history will have to tell. Cardinals

11:07

are now meeting in preparation for

11:09

the conclave, the secretive process by

11:11

which they'll choose the next Pope.

11:13

Are you watching closely wondering what's

11:15

happening in these meetings of Cardinals?

11:18

I like to hope it's at

11:20

least a healthy amount of curiosity

11:22

and not too much. Anytime in

11:24

my own heart, I'm tempted to

11:26

ever start to get concerned about

11:28

how might this go, it's an

11:30

opportunity to make an act of

11:33

faith and invite the Lord to

11:35

be in charge. At the Pontifical

11:37

North American College, Seminarians Robert Williams

11:39

and Dominic Walters told us it's

11:41

a quote beautiful testament to the

11:43

church that there's so much interest

11:46

in its historic traditions, notably the

11:48

Conclave and the film that dramatized

11:50

it. Is what's about to take

11:52

place anything like what we saw

11:54

in the Conclave, the movie? Yeah,

11:56

a lot of people I think

11:58

want to see the church as

12:01

being really... shaped by the politics

12:03

of the day. The movie has

12:05

certainly gotten a lot of people

12:07

interested in a paper election, but

12:09

I think the truth is somehow

12:11

much simpler and also so much

12:13

more complex, because the church isn't

12:16

just a human institution. Catholics believe

12:18

there is a divine component to

12:20

this process, and cardinals will soon

12:22

gather in the Sistine Chapel to

12:24

select the next Pope. About

12:27

four-fifths of these princes of

12:29

the church who will be

12:31

voting were appointed by Francis,

12:33

and they'll weigh whether to

12:35

cement or chip away at

12:37

his legacy. David Pogue tells

12:40

us about a special milestone

12:42

for YouTube. All right, so

12:44

here we are, one of

12:46

the elephants. Twenty years ago

12:48

this past week, YouTube co-founder

12:50

Jawad Karim posted the very

12:52

first YouTube video. And that's

12:54

pretty much all it is

12:56

to say. YouTube was so

12:58

new, just what is YouTube

13:01

anyway? But our Charles Osgood

13:03

had to define it. YouTube

13:05

is a website that lets

13:07

just about anybody post videos

13:09

for the whole world to

13:11

see. Today, it doesn't need

13:13

explaining. YouTube is the second

13:15

most visited website on earth.

13:17

After Google, which bought YouTube

13:20

for 1.65 billion dollars in

13:22

2006. Every single day we

13:24

collectively watch more than a

13:26

billion hours of YouTube videos

13:28

Funny videos How to videos

13:30

applying the alcohol to the

13:32

stain with a spray bottle

13:34

works well In these first

13:36

20 years, we've uploaded 20

13:38

billion videos to YouTube. This

13:41

one is the most watched

13:43

of all. About 16 billion

13:45

views. People watch YouTube more

13:47

than they watch any other

13:49

streaming service on their big

13:51

screens in their living rooms.

13:53

People watch YouTube more than

13:55

they watch any other streaming

13:57

service on their big screens

13:59

in their living rooms in

14:02

their living rooms now. More

14:04

than they watch Netflix? It's

14:06

great. David Craig teaches media

14:08

and culture at the University

14:10

of Southern California at Annenberg.

14:12

He says that a key

14:14

moment was the day YouTube

14:16

started paying people for making

14:18

videos. YouTube of course came

14:21

along and said, why don't

14:23

we give you some advertising

14:25

revenue in exchange for the

14:27

fact that you're helping us

14:29

grow our service? Today, YouTube

14:31

roughly splits the ad revenue

14:33

with the creator. probably change

14:35

a little bit for some

14:37

of the bigger name players

14:39

out there who they obviously

14:42

need to make ensure are

14:44

very happy with the service.

14:46

What's the best pasta in

14:48

history? Let's talk about that.

14:50

Those bigger name players include

14:52

Ret McLaughlin and Link Neal,

14:54

creators of a daily show

14:56

called Good Mythical Morning. 34

14:58

million subscribers have watched their

15:00

shows 14 billion times. Whoa,

15:03

he's alive! two old friends

15:05

hanging out where you can

15:07

be the third person in

15:09

that friendship. We kind of

15:11

stumbled upon this this secret

15:13

formula for having people come

15:15

back every single day. I

15:17

think that they just put

15:19

cameras up so that we

15:22

don't run away. They may

15:24

film in a traditional TV

15:26

studio. What is the difference

15:28

between what we're seeing here

15:30

and the set of a

15:32

TV show? I'd like to

15:34

say our talent. But there's

15:36

a big difference between YouTube

15:38

and TV. A big part

15:40

of it is responding to

15:43

the audience. You've got comments,

15:45

right? So there's ways that

15:47

you can connect with. people

15:49

online. Thank you so much

15:51

for watching this video. If

15:53

you enjoy it please give

15:55

it a thumbs up and

15:57

comment below with what you

15:59

want to see next. Creators

16:02

on YouTube specifically are not

16:04

content creators. They are for-profit

16:06

community organizers. They are using

16:08

this platform to build online

16:10

communities that they can build

16:12

a dozen different business models

16:14

off of. You know we've

16:16

done a few different tours,

16:18

we've written a few books.

16:20

Sweetshirts and hoodies and magnets

16:23

and pens and all kinds

16:25

of ways for people to

16:27

express their affinity for this

16:29

community. And you can start

16:31

to go bigger and sell

16:33

hair products. Do you? Oh

16:35

yeah, if we're gonna spend

16:37

as much time as we

16:39

both spend on our hair,

16:41

we are going to monetize

16:44

it. We are now stranded

16:46

on this deserted island! Nobody's

16:48

monetized it better than Jimmy

16:50

Donaldson, better known as Mr.

16:52

That concludes the tour. Whose

16:54

videos of colossal giveaways. Turn

16:56

around and look at your

16:58

brand new home. And physical

17:00

challenges. We are currently hundreds

17:03

of feet in the air.

17:05

Look at that. Have made

17:07

him the most followed youtuber

17:09

of all. 380 million fans.

17:11

I am going to start

17:13

a five hour timer. Last

17:15

year Amazon Prime spent a

17:17

hundred million dollars to produce

17:19

a Mr. Beast game show.

17:21

If I were you, I

17:24

would run fast! Is being

17:26

a YouTube star now considered

17:28

a greater ambition than becoming

17:30

a television star? I hate

17:32

to tell you this David,

17:34

but that's been the case

17:36

now for over 10 years.

17:38

They've been surveying young people

17:40

and they've all said they

17:42

want to grow up to

17:45

be a creator or an

17:47

influencer more than a celebrity

17:49

or I'm sorry to say

17:51

a journalist. I can't work

17:53

like this. I'm close together

17:55

guys. Brett and Link don't

17:57

think that the advertising industry

17:59

has quite caught up with

18:01

YouTube's dominance. If you look

18:04

at the 18 to 34

18:06

age group, we outperform. all

18:08

of the other late night

18:10

shows combined. But if you

18:12

look at revenue that's being

18:14

spent on those shows versus

18:16

our show, it's not quite

18:18

there yet. And honestly this

18:20

is one of the reasons

18:22

that we have really been

18:25

interested in winning an Emmy.

18:27

Now we're as part of

18:29

the cultural conversation as much

18:31

as many shows that have

18:33

won Emmy's. Over the past

18:35

two decades, YouTube has had

18:37

its controversies. YouTube's detractors also

18:39

worry about the algorithm. It

18:41

studies which videos seem to

18:44

grab your attention and feeds

18:46

you more videos like them.

18:48

YouTube has been accused of

18:50

letting the algorithm lead people

18:52

to extreme viewpoints. We have

18:54

this enormous diversity of opinions

18:56

on our platform. We don't

18:58

allow adult content. We obviously

19:00

don't allow spam and fraud

19:02

and we have policies to

19:05

protect young people and kids

19:07

on the platform, but it's

19:09

fundamentally a platform for freedom

19:11

of speech. Well, I do

19:13

have a YouTube channel. Neil

19:15

Mohan is the CEO of

19:17

YouTube. When you're a guest

19:19

on somebody else's YouTube video,

19:21

does that video get a

19:23

spike in the numbers? It

19:26

definitively does not. So, 20th

19:28

anniversary, what are the next

19:30

few years going to be

19:32

like? One of the areas

19:34

that I'm very excited about

19:36

is artificial intelligence. You can

19:38

tell YouTube when you're creating

19:40

a video, put us in

19:42

Central Park, and change the

19:45

background and have these types

19:47

of birds because it's a

19:49

spring day. And that magical

19:51

technology exists today. Is there

19:53

something about evolution or psychology?

19:55

that makes us so interested

19:57

in watching other people. I

19:59

think it goes back to

20:01

we as human beings, our

20:03

social beings, we connect with

20:06

other people, we are storytellers.

20:08

That is what happens billions

20:10

of times a day. on

20:12

YouTube and it's back to

20:14

our mission. Give everyone a

20:16

voice and show them the

20:18

world. Oh, on! Double rainbow

20:20

all the way across the

20:22

sky! Oh my God! American

20:24

literary history, few novels have

20:27

loomed as large as F.

20:29

Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 classic, The

20:31

Great Gatsby. Lee Cowan takes

20:33

us back in time. Dodding

20:35

the water's edge of Long

20:37

Island's Manhasset Bay, the opulence

20:39

of the homes, speaks for

20:41

itself, but not nearly as

20:43

well as F. Scott Fitzgerald

20:46

once spoke of that opulence.

20:48

A breeze blew through the

20:50

room, blue curtains in at

20:52

one end and at the

20:54

other light pale flags, twisting

20:56

them up toward the frosted

20:58

wedding cake of the ceiling.

21:00

That wedding cake of the

21:02

ceiling likely did look down

21:04

on Gatsby's parties back in

21:07

the day. The bar is

21:09

in full swing and floating

21:11

rounds of cocktails permeate the

21:13

garden outside until the air

21:15

is alive with chatter and

21:17

laughter and casual innuendo. I

21:19

can almost hear the music

21:21

playing and feel the spirits

21:23

of, you know, the parties

21:26

that went on here. Fitzgerald

21:28

lived in a much more

21:30

modest house just a few

21:32

miles away while he was

21:34

writing the great Gatsby. Elena

21:36

and George Sheeter, though, believed

21:38

he must have visited here.

21:40

They imagined him while tilting

21:42

his head back to down

21:44

a bootleg cocktail, Fitzgerald took

21:47

note, and then wrote their

21:49

ceiling into his novel. I

21:51

absolutely believe that to be

21:53

true. The Fitzgerald was here.

21:55

Yeah. His novel came out

21:57

a hundred years ago this

21:59

month. Scholars consider it a...

22:01

literary masterpiece. Hollywood finds it

22:03

irresistible. How do you do

22:05

a sport? I'm Gatsby. Oh,

22:08

oh, oh. And so does

22:10

Brown. There's even a recent

22:12

graphic novel of Gatsby that

22:14

brings Fitzgerald's characters to life.

22:16

Starting with James Gats, he

22:18

believed he was too poor

22:20

to marry the rich girl

22:22

of his dreams. So, he

22:24

reinvents himself. I'm afraid I

22:27

haven't been a very good

22:29

host on sport. You see.

22:31

I'm Gatsby. It's less about

22:33

love and more about longing,

22:35

his especially, for Daisy Buchanan,

22:37

just across the bay. I

22:39

don't want to go. And

22:41

don't. They were so near,

22:43

and yet, worlds apart. I

22:45

hadn't realized either side of

22:48

the bay was... that they

22:50

were so close to one

22:52

another and that you really,

22:54

I mean you almost could

22:56

look into the windows on

22:58

the other side. That's Blake

23:00

Hazard, the great-granddaughter of Scott

23:02

and Zelda, Fitzgerald. That's her

23:04

grandmother as a baby. They

23:06

are celebrated relatives who she

23:09

says are looming lovingly large

23:11

on this centennial. I've gotten

23:13

used to witnessing these kinds

23:15

of things about my family,

23:17

about my great-grandfather with other

23:19

people and sharing it. And

23:21

I think I feels right.

23:23

Many many places inspired Scott.

23:25

Gatsby tours become popular. This

23:28

is where the Great Gatsby

23:30

is set. This one, run

23:32

by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, an

23:34

author and New York story.

23:36

There's a point where in

23:38

the middle of Anhasset Bay,

23:40

and you can look to

23:42

the left to west egg

23:44

and to the right east

23:46

egg, and people just clicks,

23:49

because they can picture that

23:51

green light on that dock.

23:53

Few of those mansions remain,

23:55

most never survived the Great

23:57

Depression. T-

23:59

down to make room for

24:02

the new. But back in

24:04

Manhattan some of the Gatsby

24:06

lower remains especially here at

24:08

the Plaza Hotel. There's a

24:10

story that Zelda would come

24:12

in here and just go

24:14

around and around around. It

24:16

was a temple to the

24:18

times where important people did

24:20

important things including Blake's great-grandparents.

24:22

They both really wanted to

24:25

be... in the world of

24:27

the world, writing about what

24:29

they saw, chronicling at all,

24:31

and... And having a good

24:33

time doing it. And having

24:35

a great time doing it.

24:37

The Fitzgeralds were not wealthy

24:39

themselves, while they did enjoy

24:41

money, they were amused with

24:43

its perils too. They were

24:45

careless people, Tom and Daisy,

24:47

they smashed up things and

24:50

creatures, and then retreated back

24:52

into their money, or their

24:54

vast carelessness. or whatever it

24:56

was that kept them together.

24:58

He was drawn to these

25:00

things, but also very much

25:02

an observer of them, felt

25:04

very outside of, certainly of

25:06

the wealthy set. He did

25:08

rub elbows with the wealthy

25:10

set at Princeton. Although he

25:13

later dropped out, his papers

25:15

found their way back. Let's

25:17

take a look. Oh, wow.

25:19

Including the only surviving handwritten

25:21

manuscript of Gatsby. Here we

25:23

have entire, you know, half

25:25

a page. scribbled out. The

25:27

whole book is like this.

25:29

Emma Sarkoni is a rare

25:31

book librarian at Princeton's Special

25:33

Collections at the Firestone Library.

25:35

He was very exacting as

25:38

to what he wanted the

25:40

book to be. At the

25:42

time, Fitzgerald was coming off

25:44

two big hits, and he

25:46

believed that Gatsby would surpass

25:48

both of them. But Gatsby

25:50

landed with a thud. How

25:52

many copies did it originally

25:54

so? Less than 20,000. Geez.

25:56

Yeah. How did he react

25:58

to the mixed reviews? He

26:01

was devastated. He wrote a

26:03

letter to his daughter Scotty

26:05

sort of in his final

26:07

year. lamenting the fact that

26:09

none of her friends would

26:11

know who he was. So

26:13

what changed? Well, the times,

26:15

perhaps. During World War II,

26:17

the newly formed Council on

26:19

Books in wartime shipped millions

26:21

of pocket-sized books to keep

26:23

the troops entertained overseas. This

26:26

copy is relatively small, including

26:28

155 thousand copies. of the

26:30

Great Gatsby. We wouldn't be

26:32

talking about this book today

26:34

if this edition hadn't come

26:36

out. Fitzgerald died long before

26:38

that at the age of

26:40

44. At that point he

26:42

thought he was a failure.

26:44

He had really fallen into

26:46

obscurity famously very few people

26:49

attended his funeral. And yet

26:51

today Gatsby rubs dust jackets

26:53

with the likes of Jane

26:55

Austin, Steinbeck and Hemingway. For

26:57

many, the Great Gatsby is

26:59

indeed. the great American novel.

27:01

It sounds silly, but I

27:03

wish I wish Scott could

27:05

be here. I just think

27:07

he'd be so thrilled. Yeah,

27:09

and surprised. And surprised. Certainly

27:11

surprised. Among the few keepsakes

27:14

that Blake has are her

27:16

great-grandmother's necklace given to Zelda

27:18

by Scott as well as

27:20

this ring. Coincidence? The stone

27:22

is green? Well, we'll never

27:24

know. Cats be believed in

27:26

the green light. that haunting

27:28

green light blinks for all

27:30

of us. Dreams, perfection, whatever

27:32

alludes us, we still keep

27:34

trying. So we beat on,

27:37

boats against the current, borne

27:39

back ceaselessly into the past.

27:49

After winning more Super Bowls

27:51

than any coach in NFL

27:53

history, Bill Bellicheck is both

27:56

documenting his stellar football career

27:58

and launching its new... chapter.

28:00

He's talking with Tony De

28:02

Cople. Coach, thank you for doing

28:04

this. You're probably thinking the

28:06

same thing I was when

28:08

I sat down with Bill

28:10

Bellicchick. What's going on with

28:12

this sweatshirt? Well you can see

28:14

I've worn this one for a while.

28:16

Do you remember how you got

28:19

the cut here? No. Tattered and

28:21

yes, often sleeveless, Bellicick's signature look

28:23

is part of his singular focus.

28:25

As he writes in a new

28:27

book, he's motivated, not by style

28:30

or fame, but by the obvious.

28:32

The patriot in the Kurdish combat

28:34

in Super Bowl history. So why,

28:36

before the career is over, would

28:38

you write a book called The

28:40

Art of Winning? You're still out

28:43

there practicing the art. Well, I

28:45

never really had a good chance

28:47

to do that before. So I tried

28:49

to capture some of the ups and

28:51

downs and the preparation and the deal

28:54

with star players in the big moments.

28:56

You wanted to give back to football,

28:58

you're right. Some of what football is

29:00

given to you. Yeah, absolutely.

29:02

It's given him a whole

29:04

lot over a 50-year career.

29:07

Second all-time in NFL victories.

29:09

The New England Patriots have won

29:11

the Super Bowl for the first

29:13

time in four years. Including a

29:15

record, six Super Bowl titles as

29:17

head coach of the New England

29:19

Patriots. What does that feel like

29:21

in the shower of confetti? It

29:23

feels like a lifetime achievement. It

29:25

feels like you've worked your whole

29:27

life to get to that point.

29:30

And honestly, when you win one,

29:32

you try to savor the moment.

29:34

Because in the back of your

29:36

mind, you're kind of thinking, I

29:38

don't know if I'll ever be here

29:40

again. But on this recent trip back

29:42

to his old high school in

29:44

Annapolis, Maryland, a lot of good memories here

29:46

and remember some of the things that

29:49

you learned, which you thought you knew

29:51

it all then. The now 73-year-old

29:53

former NFL coach wasn't interested in

29:55

gloating about his many achievements. Where

29:57

did this title come from? The publisher...

29:59

a couple other advisers on the

30:01

book, that was really their choice.

30:03

My choice would have been how

30:06

I did my job or lessons

30:08

from my life in football. The

30:10

result is not a tell-all, but

30:12

what you might call a tell-some.

30:14

You write about not cheerleading on

30:16

the sideline, but also you're against

30:18

the inspirational locker room speech at

30:20

halftime. Coach. Have you not seen

30:22

the movies? I've seen them. Yeah,

30:24

I'm not saying not against them.

30:27

I would just say I've seen

30:29

very few that were really worthy

30:31

of You know of a strong

30:33

mention or change the Direction of

30:35

the team or the game. There

30:37

have been very few most of

30:39

it really is strategic. What are

30:41

they doing? What do we need

30:43

to adjust to that? That's really

30:45

what football is identifying a problem

30:48

figuring a solution and then executing

30:50

that you know that plan to

30:52

make it work His father Steve,

30:54

a beloved assistant at Navy for

30:56

more than three decades, made sure

30:58

of that. I was an only

31:00

child. You know, I followed my

31:02

dad around. If he had been

31:04

a fireman, I'd probably been a

31:07

fireman. He was a football coach,

31:09

and so I hung around him,

31:11

and I did whatever he did.

31:13

But what did you love about

31:15

that? Because plenty of sons run

31:17

in the other direction. Yeah, well,

31:19

I think a big part of

31:21

it was the respect and adoration.

31:23

that they had for him. It

31:25

seemed very rewarding. When young Billy

31:28

went looking for a coaching job

31:30

of his own, though, dad had

31:32

some advice. You're never going to

31:34

make any money coaching. You need

31:36

to go to business school. You

31:38

need to get a job. He

31:40

discouraged you. He was being real.

31:42

But the National Football League soon

31:44

realized there was something special about

31:46

this coaches kid. And by the

31:49

year 2000, Patriots owner Robert Craft

31:51

hired Bellicchick to turn the team

31:53

into a dynasty, which he did,

31:55

finding perhaps the best quarterback of

31:57

all time with the 199th pick.

31:59

of the 2000 draft. What did

32:01

you see in Tom Brady? That

32:03

everybody else missed. Because he wasn't

32:05

the fastest, he wasn't the strongest,

32:07

he didn't blow you away with

32:10

his athleticism. Well, two things really.

32:12

He was accurate and he was

32:14

a very good decision maker. He

32:16

got better every single day. As

32:18

he got better, you got better.

32:20

Did you build off of each

32:22

other? Absolutely. Yeah. One area where

32:24

they are clearly different is with

32:26

the media. Brady seems at ease

32:28

in the spotlight. Belichick does not.

32:31

You heard what Robert just said,

32:33

it's already been addressed. Maybe you

32:35

got to go back and look

32:37

at your notes. Well, I understand

32:39

they have a tough job. On

32:41

the other side of that, as

32:43

a coach, you know, you have

32:45

a job to do too. There's

32:47

times where I could have been

32:49

more accommodating. I admit that. You

32:52

just got to turn the page

32:54

and move forward as much as

32:56

they want to dig deeper and

32:58

deeper into the grave and see

33:00

what more is down there. At

33:02

some point you just got to

33:04

look down. He was named head

33:06

coach of the University of North

33:08

Carolina, the result of a messy

33:11

split from Robert Craft and the

33:13

Patriots in early 2024. He's got

33:15

a cold, so I'm not going

33:17

to kiss him. I have to

33:19

ask about Robert Craft, because 24

33:21

years together, six Super Bowls. Unless

33:23

I'm wrong, he's not in this

33:25

book. How constant? Well, again, it's

33:27

about my life lessons in football.

33:29

It's really more about the ones

33:32

that I experienced directly. He's not

33:34

even in the acknowledgment section. Correct.

33:36

Do you feel like you were

33:38

treated with dignity and respect when

33:40

you were let go by Robert

33:42

Craft? Yeah, well, it was a

33:44

mutual decision for us to part

33:46

ways. He said fired. It was

33:48

a mutual decision for us to

33:50

part ways. He said fired. It

33:53

was a mutual decision. The

33:55

other change for Belichik is

33:57

24-year-old Jordan Hudson. his creative muse

34:00

as he writes in his

34:02

book. Jordan was a constant presence

34:04

during our interview. You have

34:06

Jordan right over there. Everybody in

34:08

the world seems to be

34:10

following this relationship. They've got an

34:13

opinion about your private life.

34:15

It's got nothing to do with

34:17

them, but they're invested in

34:19

it. How do you deal with

34:22

that? Never been too worried

34:24

about what everybody else thinks. Just

34:26

try to do what I

34:28

feel like is best for me

34:30

and what's right. How did

34:32

you guys meet? Not talking about

34:35

this. No? No. It's a

34:37

topic neither one of them is

34:39

comfortable commenting on. Though Hudson

34:41

has recently posted about it on

34:44

Instagram. You join Insta Face,

34:46

as you put it. I love

34:48

that. There's some great pictures

34:50

of you in Jordan, where you're

34:52

a fisherman, and she's a

34:54

mermaid. It's a different side of

34:57

you. What's the reaction been

34:59

like? What's it been like? different

35:01

sort of photos. There's another

35:03

one where you're doing, I know

35:06

you're not into meditation or

35:08

yoga or Pilates, you're balancing Jordan

35:10

on your feet, and she's

35:12

doing kind of the Titanic pose.

35:15

Yeah, so I'm on some

35:17

of those social media platforms, but

35:19

I honestly don't follow. What

35:21

he does follow isn't clicks or

35:23

views, but touchdowns and above

35:25

all wins. You do seem like

35:28

you're having a lot more

35:30

fun these days than you were

35:32

in other chapters of your

35:34

life, let's say. I enjoy football.

35:37

I enjoy the whole process

35:39

of it. It's hard to win

35:41

and it's hard to beat

35:43

other good coaches, good teams. I

35:45

appreciate the grind. I appreciate

35:47

the competition. But coaching is fun

35:50

and honestly I feel like

35:52

I haven't worked a day in

35:54

my life. It's been 50

35:56

years since the final days of

35:59

the war in Vietnam. David

36:01

Martin now with some of the

36:03

men who bore witness to

36:05

the fall of Saigon. and rebutments.

36:07

This is what the end

36:09

of the Vietnam War looked like.

36:12

South Vietnamese soldiers swarming a

36:14

Pan Am airliner to save themselves

36:16

from the rapidly advancing North

36:18

Vietnamese army. They left their wives,

36:21

their children, their aged parents

36:23

on the runway, while they forced

36:25

their own way on board,

36:27

a rabble of young enlisted men.

36:29

CBS News correspondent Bruce Dunning

36:31

was on board. The plane raced

36:34

down the taxiway, swerving to

36:36

avoid abandoned vehicles, perhaps even running

36:38

over people. This every man

36:40

for himself route played out across

36:43

South Vietnam as communist forces

36:45

from the North launched their final

36:47

offensive. The question was, not

36:49

will they attack at some point,

36:52

but when will they do

36:54

it? Now 83, Stuart Harrington was

36:56

one of only a handful

36:58

of American military personnel still left

37:00

in Vietnam. The map in

37:02

my office began to show more

37:05

and more red arrows, all

37:07

pointing south. President Gerald R. Ford

37:09

called South Vietnam's collapse a

37:11

great human tragedy and ordered the

37:14

immediate airlift of Vietnamese orphans.

37:16

Some of those put aboard the

37:18

plane had been born only

37:20

weeks ago. CBS news correspondent Murray

37:22

Fronson witnessed what happened next.

37:24

The huge plane crashed into a

37:27

doorfield about five miles from

37:29

the end of the runway. 78

37:31

orphans and 35 Americans were

37:33

killed. What can one say except...

37:36

When will the misery in

37:38

this country ever stop? With Vietnam

37:40

rapidly approaching what Secretary of

37:42

State Henry Kissinger called the worst

37:44

case, he cabled American Ambassador

37:46

Graham Martin. We must evacuate our

37:49

people and do so as

37:51

soon as possible. Americans and Vietnamese

37:53

flooded Tonsenoot Airport outside Saigon,

37:55

but enemies shelling killed two Marines

37:58

standing guard there. Darwin Judge

38:00

and Charles McMahon. the last Americans

38:02

to die in Vietnam. The

38:04

North Vietnamese bombed. and rocked the

38:06

runway at Tonsenoot. So the

38:09

runway became unusable. Retired Marine Jerry

38:11

Berry was a helicopter pilot

38:13

aboard the armada of American ships

38:15

off the coast. Helicop for

38:17

the last resort and at 1045

38:20

on the morning of 29

38:22

April 1975 Ambassador Graham Martin gave

38:24

the order to commence operation

38:26

frequent win, which became the largest

38:29

helicopter evacuation in history. Frantic

38:31

to find a way out. civilians

38:33

mobbed the U.S. Embassy. The

38:35

last place, the last hope, the

38:37

last refuge where you could

38:39

go and maybe still get a

38:42

helicopter. There were women at

38:44

the Gates just saying, please just

38:46

take my baby, take my

38:48

baby. And we had to tell

38:51

them we cannot take your

38:53

baby. Drome Thomas was a Marine

38:55

Guard at the embassy. There were

38:57

people that are getting crushed. because

39:00

of the crowd in the

39:02

back with pushing. The crowd inside

39:04

the embassy rounds is just

39:06

huge and it's never getting any

39:09

smaller. You don't know how

39:11

this thing is working, how it's

39:13

going to end. That's Barry's

39:15

helicopter landing in the embassy parking

39:17

lot. I actually landed at

39:19

the embassy about one o'clock and

39:22

said my orders are to

39:24

pick up the ambassador, the Marine

39:26

Security Guard. runs into the

39:28

embassy, comes back and says, well,

39:31

the ambassador's not ready to

39:33

go. Instead, Barry and 70 other

39:35

helicopter crews began lifting out

39:37

Americans in Vietnamese. Barry's call sign

39:40

was Lady Ace O'9, and

39:42

here's his voice from 50 years

39:44

ago. This is Lady Ace's

39:46

O'9, right here, we're out by

39:48

it this time, but our

39:50

passengers. As darkness fell, Jerome Thomas

39:53

was ordered to lower the

39:55

American flag. This was the last

39:57

time. The American flag was

39:59

going to fly over Vietnam. A

40:02

19-year-old marine takes down the

40:04

flag for the last time. Heartbreaking.

40:06

America's War in Vietnam. was

40:08

now in its final hours. Now

40:10

it's probably somewhere around four

40:12

in the morning. I can see

40:15

the tanks coming down the

40:17

road. You could see the tanks.

40:19

North Vietnamese tanks because their

40:21

lights are on. They're driving down

40:24

the highway. Everybody was afraid.

40:26

The North Vietnamese Army was advancing

40:28

on Saigon. Everybody knew. These

40:30

were the last birds. Okay, let's

40:32

pick it up here. Looks

40:34

like you're about to close up

40:37

and we want to be

40:39

able to give them the support

40:41

they need. So, all right,

40:43

max it out. That's Harrington, maxing

40:46

it out in the embassy

40:48

parking lot. Get into a double

40:50

line. Everybody's going to go.

40:52

Nobody will be left behind. Aikung

40:54

Sadidook. I repeated that over

40:56

and over and over and everyone

40:59

was going to go and

41:01

I really believed it. That's the

41:03

last picture taken of me

41:05

in Vietnam. It looks like a

41:08

man who knows it's over.

41:10

Yeah, there was no doubt about

41:12

it. There were 420 Vietnamese

41:14

still in the parking lot when

41:17

new orders came in. You

41:19

are to land on the rooftop

41:21

and deliver a message. I

41:23

say again to deliver a message.

41:25

All U.S. must come out

41:27

now. Harrington had promised nobody left

41:30

behind, but orders were orders.

41:32

I said to the Vietnamese, come

41:34

I died, I gotta take

41:36

a leak. And I walked into

41:39

the door of the embassy

41:41

and scooted up the stairs. Wouldn't

41:43

it feel like telling that

41:45

lie? I felt horrible. I felt

41:47

like I'd given them my

41:49

word, that our country had given

41:52

them our country's word, and

41:54

it all went to crap. I

41:56

landed on the embassy roof

41:58

at 4.56 in the morning on

42:01

30 April 1975 and I

42:03

called the Marine Security Guard over

42:05

and I said, you go

42:07

tell the ambassador this health... helicopters,

42:09

not leaving the roof until

42:11

he's on board. And then my

42:14

best aviator voice, I said,

42:16

the president sends. Order from the

42:18

president. Did you have authority?

42:20

I have no authority to do

42:23

that at all. But I

42:25

mean, there's got to be an

42:27

end here. Two minutes later.

42:29

His whole entourage are up, they're

42:31

ready to go. Ambassador Graham

42:34

Martin brought the American flag with

42:36

him. So now I'm flying

42:38

out. And of course I do

42:40

the call sign, tiger, tiger,

42:42

tiger, tiger, tiger, which means the

42:45

ambassador is out. So everybody

42:47

knows. It was late afternoon in

42:49

Washington when Henry Kissinger announced

42:51

the news. Our ambassador left, has

42:54

left, and the evacuation can

42:56

be said to be completed. Except

42:58

it wasn't. Here's Kissinger giving

43:00

an off-the-record talk to the Army

43:02

War College, seen here for

43:04

the first time. Come back from

43:07

the press conference and I

43:09

find out that they had left

43:11

the Marines behind That regarding

43:13

the embassy The last American fighting

43:16

men in Vietnam were barricaded

43:18

on the roof as Saigon was

43:20

about to fall Been so

43:22

many years now their sergeant Juan

43:24

Valdez is 87 now and

43:26

living in a memory carrier But

43:29

some things you don't forget

43:31

be left there, kind of swallow

43:33

heart, you know. Because by

43:35

that time, the tanks were passing

43:38

by from the Vietnamese. It

43:40

felt like the Alamo for a

43:42

while. Doug Potratz was on

43:44

the roof with Valdez. We didn't

43:46

know if we were going

43:48

to be the last people and

43:51

be overrun. The question that

43:53

was going through everybody's mind was,

43:55

should we fight? Should we

43:57

fight? or should we surrender? And

44:01

everybody there to a man

44:03

was like, we're fighting, you

44:05

know, because Marines never surrender.

44:07

It was the lowest point,

44:10

I think, in my life.

44:12

We're thinking about all the

44:14

people that have died, literally

44:16

thousands and thousands of Americans,

44:18

and it was all gone.

44:21

We were there for two,

44:23

two and a half, maybe

44:25

three hours waiting, and then

44:27

all of a sudden... At

44:30

a distance we saw two

44:32

choppers coming back. Sir, there

44:34

are 33 to 35 for

44:36

Americans on the top of

44:39

that embassy to take out.

44:41

Two helicopters went back for

44:43

the Marines. The first one

44:45

picked up 22 and the

44:47

second, the final 11. Eleven

44:50

tanks on board, including the

44:52

commander. All the Americans are

44:54

out. That is it. This

44:56

blurry picture captured the moment.

44:59

I was the last one

45:01

to go aboard. Why were

45:03

you the last one? Because

45:05

I was in charge of

45:07

them. And whether I stayed

45:10

behind, so be it, you

45:12

know, but you always take

45:14

care of your men first.

45:16

The last man out. It's

45:39

Sunday morning on CBS

45:42

and here again is

45:44

Jane Pauley. That's one

45:47

of the songs. It's

45:49

Sunday morning on CBS

45:52

and here again is

45:54

Jane Pauley. That's one

45:57

of the songs that

45:59

help launch entertainer Bobby

46:02

Darren's career. Darren would

46:05

go on. I want

46:07

to record some of

46:10

the most beloved hits

46:12

of the 50s and

46:15

60s. His colorful, yet

46:17

tragic, story is the

46:20

subject of a new

46:22

Broadway musical. We hear

46:25

all about it from

46:27

Morocco. dancer,

46:31

musician, and an

46:33

Oscar nominee. He

46:36

was the entertainer

46:38

who did it

46:41

all, except Broadway.

46:43

Somewhere beyond the

46:46

sea. Until now.

46:54

He was at the height

46:56

of his powers when he

46:58

was on the floor of

47:00

a nightclub with the audience

47:02

in the palm of his

47:04

hand Tony award winner Jonathan

47:07

Groff plays the icon of

47:09

the late 1950s and 60s

47:11

in the musical Just in

47:13

time For Darren a live

47:15

audience was oxygen so too

47:17

for Groff You can feel

47:19

this this vibration between performer

47:21

and audience members to me

47:24

the most essential thing to

47:26

ignite in the telling of

47:28

his story. It's taken seven

47:30

years and a whole lot

47:32

of sweat to bring the

47:34

show to Broadway. The casting

47:36

of Jonathan Groff, beloved for

47:38

his roles on stage, and

47:41

as Christoff in the frozen

47:43

movies, might not seem obvious,

47:45

Groff grew up on a

47:47

horse farm in Pennsylvania Mennonite

47:49

country. Darren was a scrappy

47:51

Italian kid from the Bronx.

47:53

Who did you like listening

47:55

to when you were growing

47:58

up? Okay, so the first

48:00

thing is like I'm in...

48:02

in fourth or fifth grade,

48:04

like on the computer, or

48:06

Nintendo in the basement, blasting

48:08

Ethel Merman, Annie, get your

48:10

gun. Right, so. He says

48:12

the 1990s, probably. You're playing

48:15

something from the 1940s. Exactly.

48:17

Likewise, Bobby Darren was an

48:19

old soul, says his son,

48:21

Doug Darren. He admired, he

48:23

loved, he respected the old-timers,

48:25

he loved that. era of

48:27

show business. That's what he

48:29

related to. That may have

48:32

had something to do with

48:34

the woman who raised him.

48:36

Polly his mother was an

48:38

old vaudevilian and she nurtured

48:40

him and said you can't

48:42

play stickball in the street

48:44

and you can't roughhouse with

48:46

kids because he was frail

48:49

and sickly but you can

48:51

learn to sing. You can

48:53

learn to dance. You can

48:55

learn to play piano. It

48:57

opened a whole world. Freya

48:59

and sickly was no exaggeration.

49:01

Born Walden Robert Cassado, Darren

49:03

suffered several bouts of rheumatic

49:06

fever as a child, permanently

49:08

damaging his heart. When he

49:10

was a boy, he overheard

49:12

a family doctor say that

49:14

he wouldn't live past his

49:16

teenage years. Put yourself in

49:18

that position. So he was

49:20

ambitious, he was driven, he

49:23

was always on the go.

49:25

He was trying to jam

49:27

it all in. because he

49:29

knew he didn't have time.

49:31

A sort of damakly is

49:33

hanging over. I say that

49:35

a lot, exact term. With

49:37

no time to waste, he

49:40

began writing songs, and at

49:42

22, Bobby Darren made waves

49:44

with his recording of Splish

49:46

Splash. Not one to play

49:48

it safe for his second

49:50

album in 1959 Darren took

49:52

a dark bow from the

49:54

German three penny opera and

49:57

made it swing. When my

49:59

dad took Macthe knife before

50:01

was released and had Dick

50:03

Clark listen to it, he

50:05

said, why are you doing

50:07

this? This is going to

50:09

bomb. Tell me could that

50:11

someone be. Oh, Mac the

50:13

knife. It won the Grammy

50:16

for record of the year

50:18

and became the biggest hit

50:20

of Darren's career. The next

50:22

year he was on his

50:24

way to Italy to make

50:26

his motion picture debut opposite

50:28

America's sweetheart Sandra D. Isn't

50:30

that strange? What? Your pulse,

50:33

it suddenly started to race.

50:35

Hit it right off. She

50:37

hated me and I loved

50:39

her and that was it.

50:41

The teen idol married the

50:43

teen movie star in December

50:45

of 1960 and welcomed their

50:47

son Dodd a year later.

50:50

You wrote, My Father Made

50:52

His Destiny. Destiny made my

50:54

mother. What did you mean

50:56

by that? Well, my mom

50:58

went through a lot. Never

51:00

really wanted fame. She really

51:02

didn't crave it. It just

51:04

sort of happened. Unlike my

51:07

dad, who loved performing, loved

51:09

show business. D was looking

51:11

for a home life, says

51:13

Dodd Darren, but Bobby Darren

51:15

wasn't ready to slow down.

51:17

The marriage ended after six

51:19

years. Daren never stopped playing

51:21

the clubs. Is it true

51:24

that Sammy Davis Jr. said

51:26

that your father was the

51:28

one person he wouldn't want

51:30

to have to follow? Absolutely

51:32

true. And my dad idolized

51:34

Sammy. I thought he was

51:36

so terrific. I phoned him

51:38

and told him. It's a

51:41

friend! The feeling was mutual.

51:43

As seen in this 1959

51:45

broadcast of This Is Your

51:47

Life. We were exchanging ideas

51:49

back and forth. You know,

51:51

I'd be doing a move.

51:53

And in Washington, they see

51:55

a girl that you're stealing

51:58

from Bobby Darwin. Also featured...

52:00

during the episode, Nina, the

52:02

woman Darren thought was his

52:04

sister. But almost a decade

52:06

later, he would learn a

52:08

long-held family secret. Nina was

52:10

in fact Bobby's mother, having

52:12

given birth to him out

52:15

of wedlock as a teenager,

52:17

which made Polly the woman

52:19

he thought was his mother,

52:21

his grandmother. He was never

52:23

the same. He said that

52:25

his whole life was a

52:27

lie. He just seems like

52:29

a fraud. It's just devastating.

52:32

There's no sugar coating. There's

52:34

no sugar coating. Looking at

52:36

that tape today, says Dodd-Darin,

52:38

it all seems obvious. That's

52:40

a mother's love. Yes. Yes.

52:42

Yes. That's not a sister.

52:44

Yes. So that's the adulation

52:46

of, it's just my son,

52:49

but you can't say it.

52:51

Thank you, Mr. Mrs. Charles,

52:53

Charles, Lake Iowa, and New

52:55

Jersey. So you were seven

52:57

years old when your father

52:59

found out. Can you remember

53:01

a change in your father

53:03

from that time? Yes. I'm

53:06

not going to say it's

53:08

directly attributed to that incident.

53:10

I'm sure that's part of

53:12

it. But he got into

53:14

the Bob Darren stage, you

53:16

know. He took off his

53:18

two pay, no more tuxedo,

53:20

started doing folk music, protest

53:23

music, writing music, and dropped

53:25

out of show business for

53:27

a while. And now's some

53:29

of the best times I

53:31

had with him. He was

53:33

a regular dude. We were

53:35

up in Big Sir in

53:37

a trailer and a trailer.

53:40

hanging out and yeah, he

53:42

let his hair down if

53:44

you will. It was good,

53:46

Todd. In December of 1973,

53:48

Bobby Darren's heart finally... In

53:50

December of 1973, Bobby Darren's

53:52

heart finally gave out. He

53:54

was 37. Dodd had just

53:57

turned 12. Now 63, Dodd-Daren

53:59

is grateful. That with

54:01

the new Broadway show

54:03

a new generation can

54:06

learn the story of

54:08

his father It's so

54:10

beautiful that all these

54:12

years later. He's been

54:15

gone Over 50 years

54:17

We're here talking about

54:19

him. We're Remembering him.

54:21

He did something right

54:24

Thank you very much.

54:26

Good night. Have a

54:28

good life Earlier

54:32

David Martin told us about

54:34

the fall of Saigon. But

54:37

for some, the end of

54:39

the war in Vietnam began

54:41

a surprising new chapter. Here's

54:44

historian Douglas Brinkley. 50 years

54:46

ago when the city of

54:48

Saigon fell when the US

54:51

military intervention in Southeast Asia

54:53

came to an end. President

54:55

Gerald Ford faced a choice.

54:57

Many anti-communist South Vietnamese feared

55:00

forced relocation at home and

55:02

looked to America for refuge.

55:04

But the American public was

55:07

bitterly divided over whether to

55:09

accept such a large influx

55:11

of refugees. On Capitol Hill,

55:13

the mail is overwhelmingly hostile

55:16

to the refugees. One letter

55:18

from Nebraska reads, they bring

55:20

only disease corruption and apathy.

55:23

The U.S.S. unemployment rate sat

55:25

at nearly 9 percent, a

post-World War II high. To

55:30

many, bringing destitute Vietnamese to

55:32

American shores seemed nonsensical. But

55:34

President Ford saw the issue

55:36

in stark moral terms. There

55:39

are tens of thousands of

55:41

other South Vietnamese intellectuals, professors,

55:43

teachers, editors, and opinion leaders.

55:46

who have supported the South

55:48

Vietnamese cause and the alliance

55:50

with the United States, to

55:52

whom we have a profound

55:55

moral obligation. Ford ordered several

55:57

airlifts to extract 113... 30,000

55:59

South Vietnamese refugees and asylum

56:02

seekers. He signed in the

56:04

law a bill securing relocation

56:06

aid and financial assistance. And

56:09

he corralled a coalition of

56:11

religious groups, Southern Democratic governors,

56:13

and labor leaders to secure

56:15

their housing and employment. At

56:18

first, many of the new

56:20

refugees relied on public assistance

56:22

and took low-paying jobs. but

56:25

in the years that followed

56:27

most gained employment and their

56:29

reliance on government aid declined.

56:31

They became small business owners

56:34

and pillars of community, contributors

56:36

large and small to the

56:38

American tapestry. Among them, federal

56:41

judges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist,

56:43

and even an Oscar-winning actor.

56:45

My journey started on a

56:48

boat. I spent a year

56:50

in a refugee cap, and

56:52

somehow I ended up here.

56:54

on Hollywood's biggest stage. For

56:57

its decision to welcome these

56:59

refugees wasn't just the right

57:01

thing to do, it was

57:04

smart. He realized that in

57:06

a nation of immigrants like

57:08

ours, strength derives in large

57:10

part from diversity. His leadership

57:13

showed compassion, political courage, and

57:15

moral clarity qualities our leaders

57:17

could use today more than

57:20

ever. Thank you for
