COVER STORY: Fighting the good fight against ALS | Watch Video
Brian Wallach has beaten the odds after being diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease). Given six months to live, remarkably he has survived six years.

Two years after first meeting Wallach in 2021, correspondent Lee Cowan revisits with him to find out how he and his grassroots organization I Am ALS helped pass a law (Act for ALS) funding more than $100 million a year for five years for various ALS initiatives, and why Wallach himself is hopeful for the future.

POLITICS: Politics and the pulpit: How white evangelicals' support of Trump is creating schisms in the Church | Watch Video
When Tim Alberta, son of a born-again Christian pastor, was growing up, the church was a sanctuary from the world of politics.

CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa talks with Alberta, author of the new book, "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism," who says the white evangelical church is in crisis, which coincided with the election of Donald Trump.
