he said mom's birthday is the next day. so i'll be celebrating with mom the next day. mike: mom's more important than the national championship what she's done for that family growing up. carter: lewis hits it from the elbow. mike: this oklahoma team is so explosive, [whistle] carter: foul on o.u. sooners by six. 3:40. ♪ [engine revs] ♪ ♪ [engine revving] the all-new audi a4 is here. we're gonna setup if you lie to me, test. your phone's gonna drop. ah! you would rather post your internet history than drop your phone. n0000. oh!... oh... oh... gasps fortunately, that's not your phone. laughs 't have to worry about it at all. so, if i drop it from here, it's perfectly fine. because this is the world's first shatterproof display. how fast is it?

mike: you're right. so it would be a change of carter: so if gilmore has possession then you reset the shot clock. they never had it completely, then -- mike: because of the rule change, there was a time when he would have been able to call a time-out in that situation but clearly headed out of bounds and that was not an option. carter: so one of the monitor review situations is a timing mistake. and that's exactly what they're checking on now. that's verne harris and bo verosky. crazy year here in football. indisputable video evidence as it applies to ncaa basketball as well. mike: you know, at this point of the game too, maybe throw a defender and a half for hield to try to get the ball out of his hands, make somebody else beat you. he moves so well without the ba for v.c.u. to come back with 1:33? mike: i think you've got to press at this point. and try to get turnovers and even a foul. this situation isn't the worst thing in the world because it's one, two points. it's not a three. carter: you're going to have to have some havoc. mike: they're going to say it wasn't a change of possession. carter: bo over to explain to mike gminski that they didn't have possession. so it shouldn't have been a repossession of the shot clock. that's going to leave three seconds up for oklahoma. mike: that's a huge turnaround. now you have to walk in on hield. switching everything. carter: woodard, left alone. couldn't convert. gilmore, the board. mike: they had him smothered. again, you take your chances with him knocking down the shot. carter: 1:20. alie-cox, another big dunk to pull v.c.u. within three. mike: and they're going to stay in the half court. carter: how remarkable would it be for v.c.u. 13 down at the half playing the sooners in oklahoma city and now one minute to go, it's a three-point game?

( laughs ) >> stahl: it was more than 30 years ago. macri told us his father had invested in a real estate venture in new york city but ran into problems and asked him to arrange a sale, to donald trump. >> macri: it was a very unique moment for me because i was only 24 years old. >> stahl: you negotiated with the guy who says he's the best negotiator in the world? >> macri: he thinks that, yeah. ( laughs ) i don't-i'm not so sure. i'm not so sure. >> stahl: did he win? position. because the-- he was local. having the support of all the banks. but, i could say that we tied. >> stahl: now at 57, he's happily married to fashion designer juliana awada. watching them play with their four-year-old daughter antonia, you can't help but think of the kennedys and camelot, and the comparison has been made in argentina. when macri ran for president, no one thought he would win, partly because of his image as a wealthy businessman unable to connect with the people. but that image was softened by campaigning with his wife and young daughter at his side, and by their openness about their relationship. >> juliana awada: i never imagined i was going to end-- with him. and when i have the opportunity to met him, i fall completely in love. ( laughs ) >> stahl: that was seven years ago. he'd already been married twice and had older children, as did she. >> macri: i call my best friend. i told him, "i'm going to marry again." "no, come on, you can't do it. ( laughter ) you have just finish a relation two months ago." "no, this is the lady of my life. i want to be with her for the rest of my life, and i'm sure that this is the correct decision." >> stahl: at their wedding the following year, macri revealed a hidden talent. >> macri: i'm a great singer. >> juliana: ah. ( laughs ) >> stahl: you're a great singer? he set out to prove it at their wedding party. he dressed up as his favorite rock star, freddie mercury of the band "queen," complete with a fake moustache, and started serenading juliana. it almost killed him. >> macri: and in the moment i was breathing to sing the-- up part of "somebody to love," i swallow my moustache. >> stahl: you swallowed the moustache-- he started choking on the freddie mercury moustache. >> macri: it end up here. it didn't go-- it didn't go down. so i spend like-- >> juliana: twenty minut >> juliana: half an hour. >> macri: thinking that i was going to die. i couldn't breathe. now is funny, but-- ( laughs ) it was a horrible moment, yeah. >> stahl: you've had a couple of brushes with death, actually. >> macri: no, no. this was quite funny. the other one wasn't so funny. >> stahl: no. the other one happened when he was 32. he was grabbed off the street, and kidnapped. is it true when they kidnapped you, they put you in a coffin? >> macri: yes. to take me to the place. and then in another little bit bigger coffin. it was a box. >> stahl: he was held for 14 days. did you think you'd never live through that? macri: you keep thinking all the-- all day because you are trapped there with nothing to do, so you think i'm going to die, i'm not going to die. because in many cases, that group of kidnappers killed the victims. >> stahl: but he was released, after his father paid a $6 million ransom. the incident changed the trajectory of macri's life, dramatically. it persuaded him to leave his father's business and set out on his own. first he became president of one of argentina's most popular soccer teams, boca juniors. he then tried his hand at politics. he created his own third party and eventually ran for mayor of buenos aires. on his second attempt, he won. that's when a whole new macri emerged. dancing has become a macri trademark. you're known for this. ( laughs ) >> macri: you know, dancing is like-- it's another way of communicating, no? >> stahl: you know, i've heard it said-- no offense, "dad dancing." >> macri: dad dancing? >> stahl: older man dancing-- >> macri: no, no, no, no. ( laughs ) >> stahl: ve you have to watch it. ( laughs ) you have to watch my performance. because is advanced dancing. there are so innovating steps. i dream them. first i dream them and then i perform them. ( laughter ) >> stahl: macri got to live out two dreams in december when he danced on the balcony of the presidential palace at his inauguration, after a close, hard-fought election that left the country bitterly divided. even the transition was contentious. breaking tradition, the outgoing president cristina kirchner refused to attend the swearing in. kirchner had been a charismatic leader, in the style of the popular eva peron, who shared the spotlight with her husband, president juan peron, in the 1940's, and whose legend went all the way to broadway. >> ♪ don't cry for me, argentina. ♪ >> stahl: the pest dominated argentine politics on and off for the last 70 years. kirchner was a peronist, whose populist economic policies: generous subsidies on things like electricity, high taxes on agricultural exports, burdensome regulations, a bloated bureaucracy, and currency controls, all in combination, crippled the argentine economy. >> alfonso prat-gay: she left an economy that's not been growing for four years now, a stagnant economy. >> stahl: alfonso prat-gay is president macri's minister of finance. >> prat-gay: high inflation. eight years in a row of more than 25% inflation. a significant fiscal deficit. the central bank was running out of reserves. >> stahl: this is what you walked into. >> prat-gay: absolutely. >> stahl: and making matters worse, the government bureau of statistics, called indec, had been minimizing the problems. >> prat-gay: the national statistics institute was an institute that was basically lying to us and to the rest of the world. >> macri: they were issuing wrong numbers. >> macri: fake-- >> stahl: phony numbers, just made up statistics? >> macri: exactly. what the president wanted. >> stahl: and it wasn't real-- >> macri: and that's not the way. that's not the way. >> stahl: ( laughs ) no. >> macri: if-- if you have a problem, you have to recognize it and solve it. that-- that's my commitment, no? >> stahl: so do you even know what the inflation rate is? do you even know what the budget deficit is? >> macri: we are building up the real numbers. >> stahl: even without those precise numbers, he and his team plunged into action, undoing kirchner's legacy. what has heads spinning here is the speed with which they have changed course 180 degrees, in just a matter of weeks. >> stahl: you have cut export taxes dramatically, you've let your currency float, you've cut electrical subsidies. >> macri: yes. >> stahl: fired thousands of government workers. you have done so many dramatic, big things. >> macri: well, but we need it. we need it because we need to put our country back to growth. we were trapped with so many rules, that we couldn't move. >> stahl: but he raised eyebrows by making the changes while the peronist-dominated congress was in their summer recess. most if not all of the things you've done, dramatic, big, you did by presidential decree. congress is on recess. you didn't negotiate with them. you didn't consult with them. >> macri: i'm using the constitution. i will always respect my constitution, it's a very good one. >> stahl: but you criticized cristina kirchner for doing that. you said she didn't go through the democratic process. >> macri: lesley, i only criticized her when she did it going over the constitution. >> stahl: you say that, but you've been highly criticized, just making all these decrees. >> macri: well, you know-- at a certain level always the opposition has to criticize something. let them. >> stahl: macri has worked hard at winning over as many in the opposition as possible. he met early on with the two men the nation's governors, and since congress has come back, he's shown his political skill by convincing a whole bloc of peronist legislators to work with him. >> macri: i have received all of them, and say, "well, i'm ready to work. do you agree that we need to work towards zero poverty? we have to defeat drug trafficking. we have to improve the quality of our democracy." well, yes. well, let's find in which specific projects we can do it. and we found-- we found, and we are finding that there are ways in which we can cooperate, even though in two years we are going to compete again in an election process. but in the meantime, we will show our citizens that what they are demanding, is going on. that we work together. >> stahl: what a concept: two sides looking for compromise. the public seems to like it. macri's approval ratings are over 60%, but it's early. trade unions are threatening strikes, and the only other non- peronist presidents in over 30 years were both forced out of office before the end of their first terms. what's the pressure like on you at this moment? you're doing so much so quickly. >> macri: that we have to do more. ( laughs ) that's the pressure. we are in a very bad starting point, but let me tell you, i'm here running the country because i believe in my people. i have the luck to choose what to do in my life. and i have chosen this because i believe that everybody can do much better than what they are doing now. so i'm trying to do my best. trying to do my best. >> stahl: after we interviewed him, another big development. president macri has settled a multi-billion dollar battle with new york hedge funds that will allow argentina, after 15 years, to once again raise financing overseas and help attract foreign investment. >> cbs money watch update brought to you by: >> good evening. the c.e.o.s of nearly a dozen u.s. companies arrived in cuba today along with president obama. for the first time iraq exported a shipment of natural gas. and tomorrow apple is expected to unveil an updated ipad and iphone. i'm michelle miller, cbs news. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. for our delicious newg rotisserie-style chicken.? it's raised without antibiotics and hand-pulled by two huge forks. try it today with tumbling peppers... ...and slow-motion onions. the new rotisserie-style chicken sandwich from subway. fresh is what we do. >> stahl: now, cbs' james brown on assignment for "60 minutes." >> james brown: cornel west is a different kind of civil rights leader. his below the radar presence at racial flash-points across america recently, stands in stark contrast to many of the more traditional civil rights leaders and their bright light press conferences. some of the new generation of african american activists seem to be gravitating towards west, a charismatic academic scholar who doesn't lead an organization or have an entourage. cornel west has a message about how poor and disadvantaged americans are being treated today and he can be searingly provocative on matters of race, never more so than when he criticizes president obama. >> cornel west: when i call the president "a black puppet of wall street," i was really talking about the degree to which wall street had a disproportionate amount of influence on his policies as opposed to poor people and working people. >> brown: why use such harsh language with-- showing no respect for the office of the president? >> cornel west: i tend to be one who just speaks from my soul, and so what's-- what comes out sometimes is rather harsh. in that sense i'm very much a part of the tradition of a frederick douglass or a malcolm x who used hyperbolic language at times to bring attention to the state of emergency. so all of that rage and righteous indignation can lead one not to speak politely sometimes. >> brown: eight years ago, cornel west was a fervent supporter of candidate barack obama. today, he blames the president for not doing more on issues like income inequality and racial justice. a product of the turbulent sixties, west has joined protests led by civil rights groups like black lives matter. here in ferguson, missouri, he was one of many arrested for civil disobedience. the young people who are leading the black lives matter charge, you're all behind them? >> cornel west: oh, very much so. i think that's a marvelous new militancy that has to do with courage, vision. the fundamental challenge always is will their rage be channeled through hatred and revenge or will it be channeled through love and justice. you got to push them toward love and justice. >> brown: why do you think you have that kind of currency with young people? >> cornel west: they know that i take their precious lives seriously. when i go to jail in ferguson and say quite explicitly, "i'm old school, and i want the new school to know that some of us old folk love y'all to death" and they hear that and say, "well, dang, you know, we might not always agree with this brother, but this negro looks like a fighter for justice." >> this is what democracy looks like. justice! >> nyle fort: i think a lot of young people really gravitate towards him not only because he's-- a giant of an intellectual. he is somebody that you want to be around. >> brown: nyle fort is a 26 year old activist and religion p.h.d. student at princeton. he first saw west spea a
