Mabel KabaniHOST
But we did see, remember reporting about how there was like a 60 minutes correspondence party a couple of weeks ago.
Mabel KabaniHOST
And Bill Whitaker, who's one of the correspondents who's still there, said, quote, that he feels like a traitor still being there.
Mabel KabaniHOST
So we can tell that there's like a lot of guilt.
Mabel KabaniHOST
But he said that he wants to be there to still be a part of the resistance.
Marc EliasGUEST
The first time was in the run-up to 2020.
Marc EliasGUEST
Bill Whitaker asked me to be interviewed along with a number of other people, including Republicans, about the elections.
Marc EliasGUEST
Honestly, I found it a pain in the ass because 60 minutes, to shoot 60 minutes, what people don't realize is you are not there for 22 minutes.
Marc EliasGUEST
You are there for hours while they then pick and choose various parts.
Norah O'DonnellCORRESPONDENT
I'm Ross Douthat.
Bill WhitakerHOST
I'm Bill Whitaker.
Bill WhitakerHOST
Those stories and more tonight on the 59th season premiere of 60 Minutes.
Norah O'DonnellCORRESPONDENT
When an American fighter jet was shot down over Iran this past April 2nd, not one but two U.S. Air Force officers were left stranded, alone in a rugged mountain range, being pursued by Iranian forces.
Wendy McMahonGUEST
And it was a frivolous lawsuit.
Wendy McMahonGUEST
Of course, this is the interview with then-candidate Kamala Harris, Bill Whitaker's interview with.
Wendy McMahonGUEST
And I understood... that Paramount settling that would be bigger than CBS News and even bigger than 60 Minutes, if you can imagine.
Wendy McMahonGUEST
And so I was absolutely against the settlement.
Drew MulhollandCORRESPONDENT
The iconic news magazine program returns for its 59th season tonight with a whole new cast as it emerges from a chaotic and controversial offseason.
Drew MulhollandCORRESPONDENT
Only Leslie Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and John Wertheim will return as reporters.
Drew MulhollandCORRESPONDENT
And even they needed convincing from bosses, including Barry Weiss, that the network would let the journalists report their stories.
Drew MulhollandCORRESPONDENT
Viewers will notice a change in graphics and some story presentation differences.
Norah O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm Leslie Stahl.
Norah O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm Bill Whitaker.
Norah O'DonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We tape that right here in this studio so you get a sneak peek.
Kevin FrazierHOST
The new season premieres Sunday night on CBS with Nora's exclusive on the daring rescue of two U.S. airmen shot down over Iran.
Brian CurtisHOST
Cecilia Vega, another correspondent, and the former executive producer Tanya Simon.
Brian CurtisHOST
Still at 60 Minutes, Leslie Stahl, Bill Whitaker, the designated media survivor, John Wertheim?
David ShoemakerHOST
Yes.
Brian CurtisHOST
Remember when there were purges both at 60 Minutes and Sports Illustrated and somehow Wertheim survived both?
Brian CurtisHOST
I think they'd be really thrown if they didn't recognize anybody, if everybody was new.
Brian CurtisHOST
So I think it is important to have some connective tissue.
Brian CurtisHOST
But are you like, hey, Leslie Stahl's gone, or Bill Whitaker, if they had quit, I'm out? I just don't know.
David ShoemakerHOST
I think it would have been a bigger deal this year because of how much press was given to people on the production end leaving.
Nicolle WallaceHOST
Without Scott, though, what protects it?
Harry MosesGUEST
What protects it are, uh, certainly Leslie and, uh, Stahl and Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim know how the show works.
Harry MosesGUEST
What protects it also are the people that they've hired, the, the new correspondents that they've hired.
Harry MosesGUEST
They can always stand up and say to management, "You can't do this," whether they...
Peter HambyHOST
They've gotten younger.
Peter HambyHOST
Uh, we still got some of the old guard, including Bill Whitaker and Lesley Stahl.
Peter HambyHOST
Uh, they have been hyping this.
Peter HambyHOST
I've been watching, uh, a lot of college football this past weekend.
Howard KurtzHOST
And...
Howard KurtzHOST
So Bill Whitaker, one of the veterans who decided to stay along with Leslie Stahl because they didn't want to kill the show, was interviewed, said he'd spoken to Barry Weiss about his concerns about interference of the program and that she, according to Whitaker, told him to call her on it if she noticed a problem.
Howard KurtzHOST
She said she didn't see it as interference.
Howard KurtzHOST
She thought she was being helpful.
