Polymarket
Correspondent Anderson Cooper leads off the broadcast with a deep dive into Polymarket, the growing online prediction platform that allows users to bet on everything from elections and financial trends to international conflicts. Cooper speaks with Shayne Coplan, the platform’s 27-year-old founder and CEO, in his first appearance on network television. Once banned in the United States for three years, Polymarket is now preparing a comeback, supported by political insiders, Silicon Valley investors, and Wall Street players. Coplan discusses how the platform works, why data from user bets is a powerful predictive tool, and how regulation may shape the future of this new frontier. Graham Messick produces the segment.
CRISPR Kids
In a story highlighting America’s next generation of biotech innovators, Bill Whitaker travels to Lambert High School, where a team of teenagers used CRISPR gene-editing technology to develop a potential new detection and treatment method for Lyme disease. Their groundbreaking project earned them a spot at iGEM, the prestigious international genetic engineering competition in Paris. The segment follows the students as they go head-to-head with global competitors, including teams from China, which has emerged as a dominant force in biotech. This segment is produced by Henry Schuster.
Lamine Yamal
To close the show, Jon Wertheim profiles Lamine Yamal, the teenage sensation from Spain who is turning heads in international football. At just 18 years old, the Barcelona forward has already drawn comparisons to legends like Lionel Messi for his creativity and poise on the pitch. Wertheim visits Yamal in his hometown to talk about his meteoric rise, how he’s handling the pressure, and what lies ahead as he prepares for the 2026 World Cup in North America. The segment is produced by Draggan Mihailovich and Nathalie Sommer.
Each story offers a unique window into the innovation, ambition, and talent shaping the world today. Don’t miss this week’s edition of 60 Minutes, following NFL action on CBS.
