60 Minutes is new on Sunday, May 4, at 7 pm ET/PT on CBS. Here are the stories that are going to be covered this week.
The Rule of Law: On the campaign trail, President Trump vowed to wield the power of the presidency to go after his perceived enemies. Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him. Scott Pelley reports on the law firms picked out by the president and the different ways they’re responding to White House pressure.
Freezing the Biological Clock: Fertility rates in the United States are currently near historic lows, largely because fewer women are having children in their 20s. As women delay starting families, many are opting for egg freezing, the process of retrieving and freezing unfertilized eggs, to preserve their fertility for the future. Does egg freezing provide women with a way to pause their biological clock? Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to freeze their eggs and explores what the process entails physically, emotionally and financially. She also speaks with fertility specialists and an ethicist about success rates, equity issues and the increasing market potential of egg freezing.

How to watch 60 Minutes
If you're interested in watching 60 Minutes live every Sunday, you can easily do that if you have a traditional pay-TV plan, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service that carries CBS, such as Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. However, there is also an option if you have cut the cord in favor of streaming, as Paramount Plus with Showtime gives subscribers the ability to watch their local CBS channel live.
Paramount Plus is also a good on-demand option for watching 60 Minutes, as full episodes are available on the streaming platform after they air on CBS for all subscribers.
A free option to keep up with 60 Minutes is to watch clips of the show on YouTube. The 60 Minutes channel on YouTube offers extended looks at the pieces shown in episodes, though they may be broken up or not include everything shown on live TV.
60 Minutes has also launched a free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel on free streaming service Pluto TV, Paramount Plus and the CBS News streaming platform that allows viewers to watch old interviews from throughout the show's history.
