( ticking ) >> scott pelley: the devastation is so severe, across such an expanse, that we still don't know the toll of the southern and midwestern tornadoes. starting the night of december 10, at least 59 twisters carved through ten states, a swarm you wouldn't expect two weeks before winter. we spent the last several days in kentucky, where it was still strangely warm, and questions of climate change are being asked. the answers aren't clear, but we do know what we saw is rare. the storm threw down one twister that cut a path of destruction of more than 165 miles. one meteorologist we talked with called that tornado "the beast." all that rises from a leveled landscape are bonfires of memories. on the rickard farm in western kentucky, they burn what they can't ave from the two-story brick home that seemed unshakable on that foundation down there on the right and the garage by its side. >> shawn rickard: it sounded like ten trains on a

>> lo: none. >> pelley: none? >> lo: none. >> pelley: not one?iterally no room for error. >> lo: we test and we do a lot of analysis to ensure that each and every single one of these will release on orbit. >> pelley: $10 billion rides on those pins. the hubble telescope, 340 miles up, could be reached with a wrench. webb, at a million miles, is beyond repair. bill ochs told us that if something does get stuck, there is an emergency plan. >> ochs: we've developed algorithms to, essentially, we call it "the shimmy." we do a little shake on the telescope, and we can rock it back and forth. if that doesn't work, we have another one we call "the twirl," which can actually spin the telescope either clockwise or counterclockwise, to help shake things loose. >> pelley: so, you're going to do what i do with devices when they're not working-- you're going to shake it. >> ochs: yeah, yeah, kind of do the same thing, yes. >> pelley: if 107 pins release, the mirrors synchronize, and 10,000 things go right, webb will be limited only by about ten years of fuel

( ticking ) [music throughout] this year has been extremely challenging for me. i am broken. and i am healing. i'm here at the memorial wall. i wanted to do something to remember my mom. for some reason, i'm having anxiety. obviously it's normal with everything that's going on right now. i think i'm going to take a break for a while. you can get through it. and if you can get through it, there's a greater reward on the other side. just like anybody else, you know, i'm just trying to do my little part to try and save my community. ta-da! i'm just really excited we're back open. and i am smiling under my mask! incredible scenes on the day the fans came back. welcome back to the theater! you guys, it's been so long! you're looking at yourself in the mirror, and you're just like, “there. i. am.” be your best. never, ever, ever stop dreaming. i don't care what they tell you. ...we the jury in the above entitled manner as to count three find

this is neighborhoods that sheriff pelley was talking about. some homes were destroyed. six or seven homes went up one after another, it hop scotched through. it is hard to understand. talking winds more than 100 miles per hour. it was unbelievably fierce. the embers blowing like crazy through neighborhoods, horrifying to see. >> talk to me about how strange it is, we're not talking about mountains far off into the distance, we're talking 35 minutes from downtown denver and talking about end of december. you have been dealing with an incredible drought, did tie a record for the most snowless days, that streak that ended december 10th. how unusual is this? >> this is very unusual. where i'm sitting now is a field that didn't burn but has waist high grass. it just roared through. i saw burning tumble weeds thrown into the air. normally you would have snow on the ground or wet grass, this grass would never have burnt. because it has been so dry and sunny and warm, this was prime to burn. thank god it is snowing now. i can't tell you the relief to see the snow falling on the

it has a slight problem because the matrix was so influential culturally, i mean a term like red pelley that comes from the films, went directly into the pot culture vernacular. it makes it very, very difficult for this movie to really feel original. we, you said that there were problems where the production, because of the pandemic, the pandemic also delayed the release. now it finally ease being released just at a time when we're saying current of ours case. a search at keanu reeves might have been able to fight off an army of killer robots, but can the matrix survive the pandemic and the box office we'll see a spire maintenance experimental did very well at the box office or recently. um and so people will obviously come out to see a movie. they really want to see, but you're right on the chrome. it's starting to close theaters. we're seeing close theaters close and a lot of areas in europe already that might follow in the united states. it could be that this matrix summarized just as a theaters, are shutting down again. but there is hope for true matrix fans because warner brothers

>> pelley runs to be president of the united states. in terms of absolute reach, i don't know how many members of the silver shirts there were. but the german americans were a significant organization and they drew a lot of members from maybe not antisemitic, but it drew them from people that fought in world war one. people of german decent, and drew them to like houses that you could go to and it would function kind of like a beer hall. and they're getting funds and material from nazi germany. the reason he focuses on l.a., it is coming into the port. it is coming into the harbor in l.a. and for sure it was also coming into new york. i have not read a book about it yet. >> at the end you were talking about how often americans see anti-semitism as an isolated incident, and i think learned that anti-semitism existed around the world before, but my main question is how do you see this being embedded into public school education, and how has that lasted into what is going on today and is there an organization that is pushing that? >> i don
