What Will Mitch Do?
Correspondent Lesley Stahl profiles Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader, as he reflects on his life, legacy, and the future after stepping down from Senate leadership. In this in-depth interview, McConnell opens up about his upbringing, his contentious relationship with President Donald Trump, and his vision for the future. Stahl speaks with McConnell in his office, as well as his biographer, Michael Tackett, about the Senator’s impact on American politics and how he plans to continue advocating for his beliefs. 60 Minutes takes an insightful look at McConnell’s next chapter. Richard Bonin is the producer.
Robert Lighthizer
Correspondent Scott Pelley sits down with Robert Lighthizer, the former top trade negotiator during President Trump’s first term, to discuss his stance on tariffs and their role in Trump’s economic agenda. Lighthizer argues that tariffs will protect American manufacturing jobs and national security interests, despite skepticism from economists who warn that they may raise costs for consumers. Pelley explores Lighthizer’s perspective on the future of trade and the ongoing debate surrounding tariffs. Maria Gavrilovic is the producer.
A Psychedelic Journey
The Veterans Administration recently announced funding for clinical trials to study the use of psychedelic drugs in treating PTSD, depression, and addiction. However, many veterans struggling with these issues are already seeking treatment overseas at psychedelic retreats. Correspondent Anderson Cooper follows nine veterans as they travel to Mexico for an indigenous ceremony, hoping to find healing through psychedelics. This segment examines the growing interest in alternative therapies and the potential of psychedelics for mental health treatment. Katie Brennan is the producer.
