“60 MINUTES” LISTINGS FOR SUNDAY, NOV. 13

THE SURFSIDE MYSTERY – Investigators still do not know what triggered the collapse of a 12-story beachfront condominium in Surfside, Fla., last summer, killing 98 people. Newly enacted laws will require mandatory inspections of older condos in Florida, and millions of owners there will soon be required to set aside vast sums of money for potential repairs. Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the federal and local investigations and how the catastrophe is expected to impact the affordability of condo living for hundreds of thousands of Floridians. Guy Campanile is the producer.

PAPER BRIGADE – Jon Wertheim reports from Lithuania on a group of resistance fighters who risked their lives to save a trove of Jewish artifacts during and after the Holocaust. Today, 80 years later, their heroics are still unfolding, with a search-and-rescue mission underway in Vilnius, where hidden materials continue to be uncovered. Julie Holstein is the producer.

SONA AND THE KORA – Lesley Stahl profiles Sona Jobarteh, the first female virtuoso player of a centuries-old West African instrument called the kora. With 21 strings, it’s described as a cross between a harp, lute and guitar. The kora is part of a musical tradition passed down exclusively from father to son in a special set of families in West Africa. Jobarteh, who is 39 years old, descends from one of those griot families – she’s the daughter of a Gambian father and a British mother. Jobarteh argues that by breaking tradition, she is keeping it alive, and she’s gained acceptance in the toughest place of all: The Gambia, with a hit song that’s become the country’s unofficial anthem. Shari Finkelstein is the producer.

During the one-on-one, Cooper also pressed Barber on the sexual abuse scandal surrounding the Southern Baptist Convention. Barber said, “I have strong feelings about this. I’m–it’s not just anger. Although I’m angry about it. God called me to be a pastor when I was 11. I believe in this. For people to sully this hurts me. I’m not doing this to try to accomplish some PR objective for us.

Watch a clip of Barber’s response.

The 60 MINUTES interview will air Sunday, October 9 (7:00 PM, ET/6:00 PM, CT/7:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network.

TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT #1:

BART BARBER: In Jesus’ name we pray, amen…

ANDERSON COOPER: BART BARBER MAY BE A SMALL-TOWN PASTOR, BUT HE’S ALSO THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE LARGEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL EVANGELICAL GROUP IN THE COUNTRY. AS HE PLEDGES TO CLEAN UP AN HISTORIC SEX ABUSE SCANDAL AT THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION, WE HAD A SURPRISING, WIDE-RANGING INTERVIEW

COOPER: Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?

BARBER: No.

COOPER: You believe Joe Biden is the legitimate president of the United States?

BARBER: I do, absolutely.

TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT #2:

COOPER: When you read that report and to read accounts of people who were brave enough to call in to the Executive Committee, to report abuse, for them to be ignored–

BARBER: That’s not a strong enough word. We didn’t just ignore them. Sometimes we impugned their motives. Sometimes we attacked them. The reason why I’m president of the Southern Baptist Convention is because our churches do not agree with that and have taken action to correct those things.

COOPER: BART BARBER SAYS HE’S COOPERATING WITH THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S INVESTIGATION AND APPOINTED A NEW 9-MEMBER SEXUAL ABUSE TASK FORCE THAT’S BUILDING A REGISTRY FOR CREDIBLE REPORTS OF ABUSE TO HELP CHURCHES TRACK PREDATORS.

BARBER: I have strong feelings about this. I’m–it’s not just anger. Although I’m angry about it. God called me to be a pastor when I was 11. I believe in this. For people to sully this hurts me. I’m not doing this to try to accomplish some PR objective for us. I’m doing this because I wanna serve God well.
