60 Minutes CBS “The Rule of Law, Freezing the Biological Clock” May 4 2025

This Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT, 60 Minutes airs a compelling episode featuring two important stories that examine the intersection of politics, law, and personal choices.

The Rule of Law

In the first segment, correspondent Scott Pelley investigates President Donald Trump’s use of executive orders to target some of the most powerful law firms in the country. These firms have been accused by the president of “weaponizing” the justice system against him. As Trump has used his position to go after his perceived enemies, Pelley explores the firms that are facing pressure from the White House and the various responses they have taken. 60 Minutes provides an inside look at how politics is playing a significant role in the legal world, with insights into the growing tension between political power and the rule of law. Maria Gavrilovic is the producer.

Freezing the Biological Clock

In a double-length segment, 60 Minutes explores the growing trend of egg freezing as women in the United States delay starting families. Fertility rates are at historic lows, and more women are opting to freeze their eggs to preserve their fertility for later in life. Correspondent Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to undergo the egg freezing process, exploring the physical, emotional, and financial challenges involved. The segment also includes interviews with fertility specialists and ethicists, who discuss success rates, equity issues, and the increasingly commercialized market for egg freezing. This thought-provoking segment offers a deep dive into the complex choices women face as they navigate their biological clocks. Shari Finkelstein is the producer.
