The Treasury Secretary | Suing Social Media | College of Magic

The Treasury Secretary – Norah O'Donnell interviews treasury secretary Janet Yellen about the record rate of inflation, the war in Ukraine, and whether there will be a recession in 2023. 60 MINUTES also traveled with the secretary to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth to see the first U.S. dollars with her signature roll off the printing presses. It is the first time in American history the names of two women – Secretary Yellen and U.S. treasurer Lynn Malerba – have appeared on U.S. currency in the country's nearly 250-year history. 

Suing Social Media – Sharyn Alfonsi reports on how new legal challenges against Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat may alter the future landscape of social media. More than 1,200 families are pursuing lawsuits against the social media giants, accusing the platforms of impacting their kids' mental health and, in some cases, causing the death of their children. Alfonsi sits down with some of these families and the founder of the Social Media Victims Law Center. 

College of Magic – You can't wave a wand and make intolerance, poverty, and violence disappear, but you can use magic to try. Jon Wertheim visits the College of Magic in Cape Town, South Africa, where students learn sleight of hand, juggling, ventriloquism, and card tricks. But what the school really teaches is also the great superpower of magic itself: rethinking the limits of possibility.

Worst Cooks in America

Chef Anne Burrell is back for a seventh season of trying to turn some of America's worst cooks into kitchen stars. This time, however, the recruits are seven celebrities who can showcase their talents on TV and in movies, but not no so much in the kitchen. Burrell competes against Worst Cooks in America newcomer Rachael Ray to see which chef can lead one contestant to make the most impressive culinary transformation. Actors Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne, Jaleel White and Barry Williams join reality stars Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Chris Soules and Kendra Wilkinson in boot camp. The winning star gets $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for his or her mentor. Not all of the celebrities will make the cut, however; after an opening potluck dinner each mentor selects three recruits to be on her team, leaving one celebrity to be sent home before the competition really begins. Burrell is looking to extend her record to 5-2, while Ray looks to get the win in her first season.
