CBS’s 60 Minutes returns for its 58th season and this week’s episode offers a hefty plate of serious topics, ranging from the devastation of wildfires to a high-profile exit interview and a critical look at U.S. foreign policy.
Bill Whitaker leads off with a report on the Los Angeles firestorm, a disaster that has already become a political football, with arguments over forest management and climate change raging alongside the flames. Expect gripping footage and interviews with those on the front lines.
Then, Scott Pelley sits down with outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray for his only broadcast exit interview. Wray, appointed by Trump, has had a turbulent tenure, navigating investigations, political pressure, and a deeply divided nation. His reflections on the Bureau’s future and his own time at the helm should be revealing, if not entirely candid.
Finally, Cecilia Vega tackles the sensitive issue of U.S. policy towards the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Hearing dissenting voices within the State Department is always noteworthy, particularly when it involves a policy as fraught as this one. It’s a segment that’s bound to generate discussion, if not outright controversy.
60 Minutes airs Sundays at 7/6c on CBS.
