02/01/2026: "Who Can You Kill?," The Far Side of the Moon, Boom Chicago

from 60 Minutes · host CBS News

As the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents has sparked fresh outrage in the state and across the country, some lawmakers have pushed back on the Trump administration’s explanation for DHS’s aggressive tactics and called for an independent investigation. Correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, who summoned top DHS immigration officials to testify later this month. Pelley also speaks with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the state of the federal probe. Leading up to Artemis II – NASA's first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years - correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this critical step forward in American space exploration. Whitaker interviews the four astronauts who will embark on the 10-day mission, which could pave the way for a sustained presence on the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. If you think America’s top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and LA, think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early ’90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives—and travels.
