over the last decade, big american firms have cut around three million jobs in the u.s., while adding almost as many overseas. no company has gone global more aggressively than general electric, the conglomerate that makes everything from refrigerators to m.r.i. machines to jet engines. this past week, president obama has been out around the country talking about creating jobs. to help him get americans back to work, he's recruited a most unlikely jobs czar: the republican c.e.o. of general electric, jeff immelt. >> jeff immelt: the mood is dark. people are pissed. why not try to do better? >> stahl: jeff immelt talked about his czarship at a recent gathering of g.e. managers. >> immelt: you know, i grew up in cincinnati, ohio, and my parents are really right- wingers. my dad watches, like, five or six hours of fox news every day and stuff like that. so i called home and said, "hey,

just to give you a heads-up," you know, "i'm going to be with the president and he's asked me to lead this jobs council." and my mother said, "well, you said no, of course, didn't you?" ( laughter ) i said, "no, mom, that's not what i said." thank you. >> stahl: when you were chosen, there was a lot of criticism. i saw a headline that said "the job czar from hell" because of how many jobs g.e. has outside the u.s. >> immelt: i've taken heat from the right and heat from the left. and it's been uncomfortable, sometimes, for me personally to be... to work with the president on this. and i'm proud to do it. >> stahl: what he's doing is heading a council of c.e.o.s, wall streeters, and labor leaders to help the president come up with ideas for immediate and long-term job growth. we need to create 300,000 new jobs a month just to get back to where we were before the recession. >> immelt: i think, lesley, there needs to be a sense of

national urgency around jobs that, basically, if you just looked at how many hours a day do republicans spend on job creation, do democrats spend on job creation, and does the white house, it's nowhere close to 100%. we're not spending enough time on jobs. >> stahl: one of the reasons the president chose immelt as his jobs czar is because he's actually building new manufacturing plants in the u.s. he wanted to show us one-- this new factory in batesville, mississippi, where they're making jet engines for the new boeing dream liner. does anybody know how many different parts go into that? >> immelt: somebody does. i'm not sure, if it's... it's not me! >> stahl: not you! >> immelt: in this engine, we probably have invested a billion and a half dollars as a company before getting the first... the first sale. >> stahl: all told, he is adding 15,000 jobs in the u.s., about half in manufacturing. >> immelt: we've got whole new generations of jet engines, whole new generations of gas turbines. we're spending a lot inside the u.s. >> stahl: in louisville, kentucky, where g.e.'s appliance

park has lost about 16,000 workers, he's actually bringing jobs back from china and mexico, where wages are going up. >> immelt: you know, with the currency weaker, with wage-rates inflation lower here than the rest of the world, we think the u.s. can be quite competitive. >> stahl: what struck me is that the new plants don't hire a lot of people. you talk about hundreds instead of thousands. and i wonder, as you bring in new factories-- they are so automated. >> immelt: you're going to have fewer people that do any task. in the end, it makes the system more productive and more competitive. but when you walk through mississippi, for every person that was in that plant, there's probably seven or eight in the supply chain. >> stahl: a lot of the jobs we saw were $13-an-hour jobs. that's really not the ticket, is it, to a really vibrant middle class? >> immelt: we have a range. when we go out and recruit, let's say, hire 1,000 people at between $15 and $17 an hour, we get 50,000 applicants. so i think you've got to start

somewhere and... but we want to hire more people. >> stahl: but here's the problem when it comes to creating jobs-- the inflow is a trickle. the main event is still overseas, in places like brazil- - once known for sun, samba and soccer, now one of the world's fastest-growing economies. brazil is buying more g.e. products than almost any other country. it's no wonder they have a g.e. company town 90 minutes from rio. you hear ge and you think "schenectady, new york"; "lynn, massachusetts." "petropolis, brazil"? >> immelt: it's the world we live in today, lesley. this is where we have to be today to be successful. >> stahl: and they are wildly successful in brazil, where g.e. is growing at a rate of 35% a year compared to 1% in the u.s. immelt showed us around a g.e. locomotive plant. >> immelt: if you go back five,

ten, 15 years, maybe we made 30 or 40 locomotives here. you know, lesley, we're now making 150. >> stahl: that's the horn? >> immelt: so just push. i need one of these in my office. >> stahl: g.e. has become so global that more than half of its 300,000 workers are now overseas. we spoke to him on the floor of g.e.'s jet engine servicing plant in petropolis. how much of your revenues, now, come from overseas? >> immelt: 60%. >> stahl: 60% of g.e.'s revenues is foreign. >> immelt: when i became c.e.o., it was 30%. now, i wish all our customers were in chicago. i mean, everything about the u.s. is easier than doing business here, but this is where the growth is. >> stahl: you know, it's like a bucket of ice on your head. i don't think we have caught up to the reality of how much the world is consuming and... and how we're slipping back. >> immelt: you know, i... i don't think it has to be all bad news.

i still think there's lots of things we can do in the u.s. but the customers are here, and... and that's just the way it is. >> stahl: g.e. has 8,000 employees in brazil and rising. at factory rallies here, immelt, as cheerleader, looks out at the future of the company. >> immelt: i want you to get up every day and want to beat caterpillar. i want you to hate the color yellow and do everything you can to make sure we're winning and beating the competition. >> stahl: on top of expanding the locomotive operation here, immelt is building a new aviation plant and a new research and development center in rio. you have also made the case that by increasing investment in a place like brazil, it would allow you to bring more jobs back home. now, that's counterintuitive. >> immelt: look around this room. all of these components come from the u.s. how are you doing? >> stahl: but after following

him around brazil, i wondered whether g.e. was still an american company. >> immelt: i'm a complete globalist. i think like a global c.e.o., but i'm an american. i run an american company. but in order for g.e. to be successful in the coming years, i've got to sell my products in every corner of the world. >> stahl: i mean, you may personally think of yourself as an american. but your customers are over there. you put your plants over there. you even put research... >> immelt: if i wasn't out chasing orders in every corner of the world, we'd have tens of thousands fewer employees in pennsylvania, ohio, massachusetts, texas. i'm never going to apologize for that-- ever, ever. >> president barak obama: i love coming to these plants. >> immelt: it's great. >> obama: because we actually see stuff getting made. >> immelt: 90% exported from here. >> obama: that's exactly right! >> stahl: immelt worked with the president to devise his $447 billion jobs package. and now this week, he and his jobs council that's been holding meetings all around the country will give mr. obama more

proposals, such as reducing government regulations and spending more to retrain workers. if the republicans say the government shouldn't spend, how the heck are we going to get ourselves out of this? >> immelt: no, no, this notion that the government has no role has never been true in the history of the united states. you know, really, all of the commercial aviation industry has grown out of defense spending. all of the health care innovation has grown out of the n.i.h. >> stahl: in his ten years as c.e.o., immelt has remade g.e., selling off half the company he inherited, including plastics, insurance, and nbc. >> oh, my god. >> they're selling nbc to a company called kabletown, with a "k". >> stahl: at the same time, he has refocused the company on manufacturing, bulking up units like transportation, energy, and research and development. as jobs czar, he's urging his fellow c.e.o.s to double their

hiring of engineers and devote more money to r&d. at g.e., he's tripled spending on everything from medical research to green technology, including the building of a solar panel factory in the u.s., even as other american solar companies are folding. is this something that's incredibly risky for you? >> immelt: in g.e., this is extremely low-risk because we have good technology and we have scale. the crime for us is when we don't do things like that. we ought to be percolating 20 $1 billion businesses all the time that can grow inside our system. >> stahl: but even while he promotes american innovation, he's been accused of transferring technology to other countries, as in his recent joint venture with china, where a new g.e. computer system will go into a chinese airliner that could eventually compete with boeing. >> immelt: it's a way we can grow, and... and it's approved by the u.s. government.

it's in an important market around the world, and it creates 400 jobs in the u.s. >> stahl: let me be more specific-- are we, in any way, giving the chinese a technology that they didn't have before, that depletes our competitive edge in the future? >> immelt: we give nothing; we own it. no, look-- you're afraid of china. i'm not. we see them as a big market and a big opportunity. >> stahl: one thing immelt is promoting that the president did not include in his jobs package is lowering the corporate tax rate from the current 35%, even though companies like g.e. rarely pay that much. one of the things that g.e. and you get hammered for is how little taxes g.e. pays. it's not quite zero, but it's pretty low. >> immelt: you know, we've had an extraordinary couple of years. we wrote off $32 billion during the financial crisis. i think we should have basically the same tax policy that germany, japan, the u.k.,

everybody else has, which is a tax rate in the mid-20s and no loopholes, zero. the u.s. has the most antiquated tax system. and that means some people are going to pay more taxes and some people are going to pay less. >> stahl: but i guess the big question for most people is, would that create jobs? >> immelt: that's a fair debate. you know, personally, i think it's going to create jobs. >> stahl: but our companies are not spending. they're not investing in a way that would create jobs. and big corporations are sitting on billions and billions of dollars. they're just sitting on it. >> immelt: companies should invest in the united states. it's still the world's biggest economy. and if companies just are going to sit on cash, they're going to lose. they're going to lose. because only the people that are going to invest their way through this crisis are going to win. >> stahl: immelt is also supporting a tax holiday for global companies to get them to bring back home more than a trillion dollars in profits they're keeping overseas. he says businesses would start hiring, even though they didn't

when a tax holiday was tried in 2004. >> immelt: when it happened last time, it didn't. >> stahl: right. >> immelt: so there's plenty of evidence that says that i'm not right about that. in other words, do i know how many jobs it's going to create? i don't. but it can't intellectually be any good to anybody to have $1.2 trillion outside the u.s. >> stahl: shouldn't american corporations... don't they have some kind of civic responsibility to create jobs? no? >> immelt: my name is not above the door. i work for investors. investors want to see us grow earnings and cash flow. they want to see us be competitive. they want to see us prosper. >> stahl: he wishes the public felt the same. >> immelt: i want you to root for me. you know, everybody in germany roots for siemens. everybody in japan roots for toshiba. everybody in china roots for china south rail. i want you to say, "win, g.e." >> stahl: do you not see any reason that maybe the public doesn't hold american

corporations up here in the highest...? >> immelt: i think this notion that it's the population of the u.s. against the big companies is just wrong. it's just wrong-minded, and when i walk through a factory with you or anybody, you know, our employees basically like us. >> stahl: they do. i saw it. >> immelt: they root for us, they want us to win. i don't know why you don't. >> cbs money watch update sponsored by: >> good evening, apple rival samsung says it is delaying tuesday's launch of its nexus prime smart phone out of respect for the late steve jobs. gas has dropped 26 cents in a month to an average of $3.40 a gallon and the boxing robots movie "real steel" took the title at the weekend box office. i'm russ mitchell, cbs news. ♪

>> simon: when the people of

egypt rose up in january and threw out the dictator who had ruled them for 30 years, it was called a "facebook revolution." we went back to cairo last month to see what was going on eight months after this revolution. how many of the people's dreams were being fulfilled? what we found was that, even though mubarak was on trial-- something egyptians thought they'd never see-- the military, now in control, had reinstated the dreaded emergency laws. it was arresting activists by the thousands, outlawing strikes, clamping down on journalists. and that's not all. we found that people opposing the current regime were being tortured, just as they'd been under mubarak. eight months ago, this might have been the happiest place in the world, a traffic circle named tahrir square, where people overthrew a dictator in 18 days. well, the people are back again, but the happiness is gone. that's because many feel that

the revolution has been taken away from them, that the army which supported them during those heady days is now saying, "go ahead, demonstrate if you want to. but we are in control, as we always were." for three decades, mubarak's generals kept him in power. but when protesters took over tahrir square, the soldiers stood by and let it happen. to give you a sense of what role the military played back then, and since, we'll tell you the story of one man, a student named ramy essam. he came to the square with his guitar, started strumming, like a young bob dylan. ( singing in arabic ) >> simon: before long, he was onstage, singing a song he'd made up on the spot, "down, down, hosni mubarak." >> ( singing in arabic )

>> simon: that had never been sung before. ♪ ♪ ramy became the troubadour of the revolution. but after a week, the mubarak regime decided to close down the show. it sent in thugs on horses and camels to empty the square. they beat up ramy, but he kept on fighting and was still there the next morning. >> ramy essam: they hit us with rocks and they shoot with guns. i had a rock in my head, here. but i am okay and i'm not sad, and we will stay here until hosni mubarak go away. >> simon: and ramy did stay. he got back onstage, a bandaged singer serenading a bandaged audience. the protests grew-- women, children, and, crucially, millions of workers.

eight days later, mubarak was gone. you must have felt happier than you'd ever felt in your life. >> essam: yes. ( laughs ) it was a very... it's... it's the happiest moment for me, ever. >> simon: it was the happiest moment for everyone. egyptians were shocked at what they'd accomplished. the soldiers were treated like liberators. the generals-- the supreme council of the armed forces, as they're called-- were applauded, as well. they appointed a transitional government and promised free elections in six months. meanwhile, they kept the power. who are these guys? >> hossam el-hamalawy: these are the generals who made it to the top of the army, simply because they enjoyed mubarak's confidence. >> simon: blogger and labor activist hossam hamalawy, who has been fighting the mubarak regime for years, is convinced the generals were against them from the start.

>> hamalawy: don't you think that the... that the supreme council for the armed forces wouldn't have loved to nuke us in tahrir during the revolution? >> simon: do you think so? >> hamalawy: ( laughs ) oh, yeah. i mean, if it was up to them, it... if they could have gotten away with it, they would have nuked us. but why didn't they do that? because they knew that the soldiers and the conscripts and the young officers they sent to us in tahrir, they wouldn't have opened fire. because they are just as oppressed as us. >> simon: having the generals in control was not what the protesters had in mind. after mubarak had left and the world thought the revolution was over, they reoccupied the square, demanding to be heard. a month later, the generals had heard enough. they insisted they would clear the place of demonstrators and thugs. troops invaded the square, rounded up hundreds of activists. they spotted the troubadour ramy essam and, without explanation, dragged him a hundred yards to the egyptian museum, where they

had set up a prison. they began beating him with clubs and steel rods, and that was just for starters. the officers were jumping on your back? >> essam: and... and on my head. >> simon: and on your head? >> essam: and th... that's happen for about two hours. >> simon: they were doing for two hours? >> essam: yes. >> simon: his head was face down in the dirt. he wasn't moving. then, a senior officer came by. >> essam: i heard him say that... that, "where is ramy?" and when he came to me and... and saw me, he... he told them, "he's still alive?" >> simon: do you think he really thought you might be dead? >> essam: yes. because they tortured me very badly. >> simon: and you weren't moving. okay, so then, the officer left. and did they leave you alone then? >> essam: no. they started to electrocuted me. >> simon: they electrocuted you? >> essam: yeah. >> simon: with a cattle prod? >> essam: yes.

>> simon: where did they put the prod? >> essam: over all my body. >> simon: when they had finished, they shoved him into a cab. when his friends found him, this is what they saw. and remember, this was happening a month after mubarak had left. >> essam: when i was tortured, i decide to... to be silent and calm to make them angry. >> simon: you never said, "please, stop?" it's amazing. when they were torturing you, you didn't scream? >> essam: no. i just decide to be silent. >> simon: one can decide to do many things. but one is not always capable of doing these things. how could they be hurting you so badly and you didn't make any noise? >> essam: no. and... and by the way, i... i was shocked from what they... they do. >> simon: you were shocked? >> essam: because they are egyptian. >> simon: and these egyptians

are treating detainees the way they did when mubarak was in charge. this video was placed on youtube two weeks ago. the military said it would investigate the incident. and tuesday night, this is what happened to a coptic christian who'd been protesting a muslim attack on a church. the footage was also placed on youtube. when mubarak left, you're smart, you knew that things weren't going to get very much better very quickly. but did you believe that things were going to get this bad? >> mona seif: no. no, i didn't think it was going to be this bad. i thought it was... i thought this was going to be a long road, but i thought it was... it would be less painful. >> simon: 25-year-old mona seif has been marching along that road since the very first days. she is leading the campaign against military trials, which has become the rallying cry of the revolution. more than 12,000 civilians have been arrested and tried in military courts since february,

for everything from "thuggery" to "threatening the security of the egyptian state." so what happens in a military trial? >> seif: it's very rapid. it's very quick. >> simon: what do you mean by "rapid?" >> seif: "rapid," i mean that most of the cases we know they get arrested, they get sentenced in three days. >> simon: three days. >> seif: yes. most of the case... >> simon: what kind of legal representation do they have? >> seif: in many of the cases, the regular... the real lawyers were not allowed... were not allowed to access the courtroom. >> simon: so it's a sham. >> seif: it's a sham. >> simon: mona and her colleagues have interviewed dozens of families of the detainees and put their testimonies up on the web. all the families know is that their relatives are missing.

they know nothing about charges, verdicts, or sentences. when you accuse the army of military trials, the army says, "look, these are exceptional times. we need exceptional measures." >> seif: we don't need exceptional measures. if you talk to professional legal personnel, they will tell you our legal system is capable of handling this. and it's very obvious that their methods have not done anything because the thugs are not behind bars. it's the poor people who are behind bars. it's the revolutionaries. it's people who dare to stand up against the regime. >> simon: we asked members of the regime for an interview. they declined. defense secretary panetta met with the generals this week. afterwards, panetta said they did not tell him when they would hand over power to a civilian government, or when they would lift the state of emergency or end military trials. but he did not sound discouraged. >> leon panetta: i really do have full confidence in the process that the egyptian military is overseeing, and i think they are making good progress. >> simon: the egyptian military receives $1.3 billion a year from the united states and owns huge chunks of the egyptian economy. are they going to give all that up?

>> hamalawy: no, they are not. but that's what a revolution is all about, you know? no elite in any country, no rulers in any country would give up power very easily. >> simon: no, but don't you agree that the next president of egypt is going to be a lot better than mubarak? >> hamalawy: well, if they elect me as the next president even of egypt, i wouldn't be able to do anything. it's not about the figures. it's about the regime. it's about the system. >> simon: it's a river, the nile, which brought egypt to life. and for 7,000 years, this oasis of a nation has been ruled by pharaohs, dictators, conquerors and kings. but democracy? it's never been here, so it's got to be considered a long shot. but then again, there's never been a revolution in egypt. and once a revolution gets going, it's not always easy to make it stop. millions of workers are on strike in almost every sector of the economy-- teachers, students, bus drivers, engineers.

they all have the same demands-- a sharp increase in wages and the removal of their bosses, mubarak's cronies, who are still in charge. and ramy essam? like so many others, he has simply forgotten how to be afraid. he's back in tahrir square, performing. same tune, different lyrics. ♪ ♪ instead of "down with hosni mubarak," he is singing "down with military rule." ♪ ♪ is that wise? is that a smart thing to do? >> essam: i just want egypt to be better. >> simon: you want egypt to be better? >> essam: i just want to take my freedom. >> simon: and they may take you away again and do what they did before, maybe even worse.

>> essam: no. what happened to me makes me believe that they are the bad guys, not us. we are right, they are wrong. >> simon: it's that simple? >> essam: yeah. >> mitchell: hello, everyone. welcome to the cbs sports update. im james brown in new york with the scores around the nfl. the raiders hold on for an emotional win, san diego moves to 4-and-1 and the colts winless. the patriots win in a tie for first in the afc east with buffalo. pittsburgh bounces back behind roethlisberger. minnesota wins its first game surprising san francisco and new orleans, both move to 4-and-1 while the eagles fly to 1 and 4. more sports news and information, go to cbssports.com. follow the wings.

>> pelley: while nfl players have to be ferocious on the field, off the field, their agents have to be just as tough. agents go toe to toe with the teams, negotiating their players' contracts. and some agents become both brother and father to their clients. the most memorable agent of all time was the movie character jerry maguire. but the stuff that that character was made of was largely based on the super-agent drew rosenhaus. there are almost 1,000 agents in the nfl, but no one represents more players than rosenhaus, an agent who is, at the same time, revered, feared and hated. and to hear him tell it, he just may be the most important player in all of pro football. >> rosenhaus: i really believe that the nfl would fall apart without me. that may sound cocky, that may sound arrogant, but i'm telling you the truth. >> pelley: cocky and arrogant, you? ( laughter )

so why would the n.f.l. fall apart without drew rosenhaus? >> rosenhaus: in the n.f.l., we keep things moving smoothly. when it breaks down between the team and the player, the agent is there to pick up those pieces. if a guy says "i want to be traded. i hate this team, i hate this coach." i say to the player, "tell me, don't tell the coach. i don't want you to ruin your relationship with the team. come to me." >> pelley: let me let the audience in on something here. people watching this interview right now are thinking, "rosenhaus is turning this on for the camera. he's leaning forward and raising his voice and shouting because he knows he's on tv." you and i, earlier today, were in your office, and you were shouting at me just this way before the cameras were rolling. >> rosenhaus: scott, i don't see the shouting. >> pelley: this is the real deal. >> rosenhaus: you know, this is just enthusiasm. >> pelley: this isn't shouting? >> rosenhaus: no, i think i'm just talking to you. i didn't... am i loud? >> pelley: no, i... ( laughs ) >> rosenhaus: sorry, guys. let's turn down the mic. >> pelley: he doesn't drink coffee. imagine what he'd be like on caffeine. >> rosenhaus: come on! >> pelley: no alcohol, either, but he is a work-aholic. >> rosenhaus: real good job today, buddy.

i guess you're not going to fire me. we'll be able to get you even more money. try and be available tomorrow. trust me! i live it, eat it, sleep it. every single minute of the day, i think about my work. i love it. it's my passion. i enjoy it. so it's not like a job, it's just... it's fun. >> pelley: his clients include flamboyant wide receiver chad ochocinco, star running back frank gore... >> touchdown! >> rosenhaus: way to go, stud. >> pelley: ...and quarterback rex grossman... >> rosenhaus: i'm really proud of you. >> pelley: ...and two of the leagues fastest rising future superstars-- receiver rob gronkowski, and explosive running back lesean mccoy. he works out with his players during the day, parties with them at night. and he is always, always on call. >> rosenhaus: if i get a call in the middle of the night, i have to take it. if i'm with a girl, i have to take it. if i'm in the shower, i have to take it. my clients are like my family, like my brothers, literally. so when they hurt, i hurt, and

there's a lot of emotion involved. you know, you enjoy the ups and, man, do you feel the downs. >> pelley: but, come on, you've got how many clients now? >> rosenhaus: approximately 170 active clients. >> pelley: you can't have a personal relationship with 170 guys. >> rosenhaus: scott, i do. i want each one of my clients to feel that they are my only client, that they are my most important client, that i love them. >> pelley: a few people watching this might look at you and say, "that poor man." ( laughs ) seriously, no family, no wife. he's 44. he has no life. >> rosenhaus: well, i love the n.f.l.. i've given my life to it. my girlfriend of two years, we broke up. she said i work too hard. i cared more about my business than i did her. >> pelley: she was right. >> rosenhaus: she was. she was. >> pelley: at least, now, she doesn't have to drive with him. >> rosenhaus: i'll drive, text, and be on the internet at the same time. and... ( phone rings )

...it's... it's dangerous. >> pelley: now, i assume what you're doing here isn't strictly legal? ( phone rings ) >> rosenhaus: it's totally illegal, what i'm doing. i always use two phones. this phone is for phone calls and texts. this is for emails, the internet. ( phone rings ) >> pelley: there it is again. >> rosenhaus: hey, i'm... i'm with someone. try me again. bye-bye. >> simon: how many calls in a day? >> rosenhaus: a few hundred. >> pelley: the calls started when he signed his first client while still a student at duke university law school. at age 22, he became the youngest agent ever in the n.f.l. how did you know that you wanted to do this work? >> rosenhaus: i had to be maybe eight, nine years old, and i said, "whoa, it would be cool." you know, i think i saw a couple clips of agents on tv and it was like, "man! whoo!" >> pelley: wait a minute, you wanted to be a sports agent at the age of eight? >> rosenhaus: very early on, i was just a real football... i'm going to use the term "geek." when the dolphins won, scott, i was the happiest guy on the planet.

i was a huge dolphins fan growing up here in miami. when they lost, i literally was in tears. >> pelley: he was also in tears because he got bullied in school. so his father enrolled 12-year- old rosenhaus-- and his younger brother jason, who's now his business partner-- in a karate school run by a master named young soo do. do transformed rosenhaus. >> rosenhaus: i went from a guy that was a mama's boy, who was soft, who was maybe a bit of a baby to hard-nosed, to tough, to exactly the opposite. he taught me about discipline, conquering your fears, battling adversity, to push yourself to become the best. young soo do turned me into a man. >> pelley: a man who has now built a family business into the biggest agency in all of football. >> rosenhaus: marcus, say hello to donte stallworth, one of my clients. >> pelley: we were with rosenhaus on the n.f.l.'s draft

night this year. he was in los angeles with his top draft prospect, cornerback jimmy smith. smith was surrounded by family, friends, and ferocious tension. >> rosenhaus: 30 seconds, hang in there. >> pelley: his financial future was on the line. the earlier he was picked, the more money he would make. but smith was not an easy sell. he'd tested positive for marijuana. so rosenhaus had to take him on a tour to visit coaches to convince them that smith had matured. >> rosenhaus: keep an eye on your phone. >> pelley: on this night, they expected the baltimore ravens to pick smith in the first round. but when the ravens turn came, they didn't pick anybody. >> this is unusual. they passed. in other words, somebody jumps into your slot. >> rosenhaus: we're working on the trade. >> pelley: look at rosenhaus. if he has doubts, he will never show them. >> rosenhaus: they're going to take you. just stay positive, all right, buddy. >> jimmy smith: uh-huh.

>> rosenhaus: look like you're happy. smile, and something good's going to happen. >> what the hell's going on out there? >> rosenhaus: i'm trying to get a hold of the ravens. they're not answering the phone. hang on, guys. >> pelley: after eight agonizing minutes, smith got a call. ( phone rings ) >> rosenhaus: that's going to be us. shh. >> the baltimore ravens select jimmy smith. ( cheers and applause ) >> pelley: he'll make about $8 million over four years. plenty to celebrate. >> and there's drew, the omnipresent drew. ( cheers and applause ) >> pelley: rosenhaus signed 17 clients in this year's draft-- of course, more than any other agent. you know who doesn't like you so much? >> rosenhaus: the other agents. >> pelley: the other agents. >> rosenhaus: that's great. >> pelley: you've been called a "sleaze ball." >> rosenhaus: i have. >> pelley: you've been called a thief. >> rosenhaus: keep it coming, man. i love when agents talk badly about me. >> pelley: the rap on you is that you steal other guy's clients. >> rosenhaus: i've heard it, yeah.

and it's so false. >> pelley: but 80% of your clients had other agents first? >> rosenhaus: i think that's right. i think that's correct. >> pelley: other agents have filed almost 50 grievances against rosenhaus with the players' union. his competitors claim that he has stolen the clients that they have under contract. but so far, rosenhaus says he has won every case. >> rosenhaus: it's kill-or-be- killed in this business. and i intend to do the killing. when i was on the cover of "sports illustrated," they said, "the most hated man in pro football." b.s.! i wasn't the most hated man. the players like me, i think the owners, the teams like me. the agents don't like me. that still stands today. and it always will. >> pelley: part of that is resentment of rosenhaus' success. when the n.f.l. lockout ended this summer, rosenhaus says he negotiated more than 90 contracts in just over one month. >> rosenhaus: whew! >> pelley: ...contracts worth about $600 million. rosenhaus' take is $18 million.

that's 3%, the maximum that the players' union allows. how do you earn that kind of cash just by talking? well, watch what we saw in a hotel room when rosenhaus called a series of general managers. >> rosenhaus: what you're offering me is a joke. the price is just going to go up. you're blowing it. i'm bringing you a player. you're going to look like a genius. a one-year deal for $5 million is a steal for him. he's worth at least twice that. what do you mean, "he's been hurt a lot?" the concussions are a thing of the past. on top of that, he's got a new helmet. that's not even close. what do you mean, "we're too far apart?" come on, you're killing me here. you're taking a huge risk by letting me get off the phone, because when i get off the phone, i'm calling another team. yes! good man! >> pelley: if all that looks familiar, well, it should. when tom cruise played super agent jerry maguire, maguire's persona was based largely on rosenhaus. >> tom cruise: he said i don't know what it's like to be a black person! i'm mr. black people. show me the money!

>> congratulations, you're still my agent. >> pelley: do you have to keep these guys out of trouble? >> rosenhaus: sometimes, yeah. >> pelley: you put clients in rehab? >> rosenhaus: i have. >> pelley: bailed clients out of jail? >> rosenhaus: of course. i've gone in the middle of the night to do that. i've visited clients in prison. i mean, that's brutal. there's nothing, nothing tougher than that. >> pelley: his most famous prison client is star receiver plaxico burress. burress served more than 20 months for shooting himself in a nightclub with an unlicensed handgun. when burress was released in june, rosenhaus was there with his typically understated welcome. >> rosenhaus: ah! >> pelley: good thing he's not a 300-pound lineman. he hit you pretty hard. >> plaxico burress: ( laughs ) i'd have been running the other way. >> pelley: you're in prison. >> burress: right. >> pelley: you shot yourself in the leg. >> burress: right. >> pelley: what kind of things was rosenhaus telling you? >> burress: "stay strong." you know, "stay strong." he was like, you know, "our day

to shine is coming again." and he's going to keep you upbeat. he's that kind of person, that kind of personality. >> pelley: what did it mean to you that rosenhaus was reaching out to you and telling you that you were going to be okay? >> burress: to be honest, i didn't expect anything less, you know. because, you know, i know him as a person and you know where his heart is. >> pelley: burress had missed two seasons, but rosenhaus talked the new york jets into a one-year $3 million contract. >> burress: drew's a salesman. i mean, that's what he does. >> pelley: when he called you and said, "i've got a deal with the jets," you thought what? >> burress: championship. championship. >> pelley: one thing is certain: a rosenhaus client will play in this year's super bowl, because he has clients on every team but atlanta. that's the result of his obsessive, single-minded discipline he traces back to his tae kwon do training as a boy. whether to impress his clients or his competitors, rosenhaus

didn't want us to get away without seeing a concrete example of his force of will. >> rosenhaus: nine bricks. it's the most i've ever done with the fire technique. it's got to be very quick, very explosive, very powerful, very fast. otherwise, i'm going to get burnt very badly. i've broken my hand. i've gotten stitches. you have to hit it, though, as if it's not bricks, as if it's a pillow. you have to hit it with all your heart, with all your might. >> pelley: and consider, that's his texting hand. >> rosenhaus: hi-yah! ah! >> pelley: does that hand still work? >> rosenhaus: yeah. everything's great. i'm perfect. >> pelley: a miami columnist once wrote about you-- his words, not mine: "only a few things will survive a nuclear holocaust..." and they are? >> rosenhaus: cockroaches and drew rosenhaus. ( laughs ) >> pelley: and twinkies. >> rosenhaus: twinkies. ( laughs ) >> pelley: are you more the cockroach or the twinkie? >> rosenhaus: if a cockroach is

strong and a survivor, then that's okay. every day, i get a client that's injured, that's hurt, that gets cut, that gets traded. >> pelley: gets arrested? >> rosenhaus: arrested. tragic, stress, panic, paranoia. but i embrace that calamity. i'm comfortable in that chaos. ♪ [ male announcer ] you've reached the age where you've learned a thing or two. this is the age of knowing what needs to be done. so, why would you let something like erectile dysfunction get in your way? isn't it time you talked to your doctor about viagra? 20 million men already have.
