that caused a death or an injury. >> reporter: nhtsa tells "cbs this morning," it does not have the data to support changing the standard, while acknowledging the number of deaths caused by seat back collapse have likely been underestimated. it makes it a lot harder to say there is a problem if the carmakers are not reporting there is a problem. >> there is a huge regulatory black hole within the automotive industry is able to escape responsibility because they do not report these not reported to nhtsa because automakers are not required to if the car involved is more than 10 years old. the ford eli was injured in was 11. >> if the seat did not collapse, he would not have suffered so much. he has to live with this for rest of his life. >> reporter: automakers can face stiff fines for not properly reporting accidents. the safest place for kids they say is the back seat.

backs could be on the order of a dollar or so. for "cbs this morning," kris van cleave, washington. >> our thanks to advikris van ce for doing this series and hopefully lead to changes. >> such important reporting. >> i didn't know it was possible the way the seats jerk back that way. >> the stunning thing, the carmakers did. astronauts in orbit will even celebrate thanksgiving. ahead the commander intern . good morning, everyone. i'm meteorologist danielle niles. high of 44, wind chill in the 30s at times. thanksgiving day features some light snow that will arrive tomorrow morning. am expect some scattered snowshoers that may drop a coating here or there, no significant impacts. some rain showers fill in thursday

15% off on basically our entire stock. to drive even more attention to both of our digital experience but also, josh, to get people in our stores. >> here is the thing they say about target. is it still okay to call it target? >> it is. >> you go into your store and i'm spending $25 and you walk out $200 or $300 later and spend more than you expect. don't you hate when that happens? >> i love when it happens. >> it happens a lot and you're now expanding your stores to campuses because? >> well, we are following the consumer and what we are seeing across the country is consumers moving back to city centers. whether it's here in new york or in philadelphia, boston, chicago. so we are just simply following the consumer. and as we have talked to them, they have said one of the things they would love to see is a target in their neighborhood and these are really neighborhood stores. we opened up here in try beck ka in manhattan. early in october, the store is an incredible success for us and

sometimes multiple times in a week. i was there two weeks ago and i talked to one of our guests and she said, since we opened, she had been there three times. we had only been open a couple of days. even coming back again and again. >> and again and again and again. >> isn't it a long uphill battle to compete online with amazon? >> charlie, we don't think it is. we think physical stores still matter. so as we sit here today we think about retailing in the u.s. 90% of the done in a physical store. most consumers, they are starting with a smartphone in their hand. it's how they decide where to stop and where there is shopping lists are held. they still like the physical experience. so we need to do both. we need to make sure we got a very compelling reason to come to our stores and when you're there make it easy and make it inspiring. we also want to make sure you can shop online and pick up in one of our stores. that is where these smaller urban stores are really important. you can order online and conveniently pick up your

it. >> is there an advantage to shopping on thanksgiving as opposed to coming on friday? i'm thinking about your employees. we should say you're going to be working too? >> i will be. i'll be out there in stores. >> is there an advantage if you come thanksgiving day? do you get a better deal or the experience you're there on thanksgiving day? >> we have had some great deals for this big thanksgiving and black friday weekend. for the first time ever, we will offer a 50-inch 4k tv for under $250. >> >> 5-0. 50 inches. >> made by whom? >> yes, a good question! made by whom? >> great quality, 4k. we want to add excitement and make sure that it's an exciting experience and people love to shop. they turn out. so i'll be out there. our leadership team will be out in stores. i really appreciate the fact our team members want to work on thanksgiving evening. >> what allowances are made for them? >> they get time and a half for those days. but, josh, they are excited to come out.

we do a great job. it's really when target is at its best. the holiday periods is when we really shine and why i'm so proud of the brand and the team. they get fired up and make sure to offer a great experience and we get great feedback from the customer. they keep shopping. >> some consumer reports make the argument that the bargains on black friday are not as big as they expect. >> charlie, they get better better. if you look at the offers we are bringing on apple products. >> do you know what i mean? >> we bring great volume. >> you're here saying what you are seeing on black friday are really significant bargains that you cannot find the week before or the week after? >> they are sensational deals. >> on everything in the? the 15% you're offering? >> both in store and online. as opposed to cyber monday we made it in the store and online.

charlie has got a good idea. listen up. >> go ahead, charlie. >> you have a contest and you say to somebody if you can find

extra 10% off of whatever you're purchasing. if they can find you at a target store, they get an extra 10% off and you'll have some identification you're the guy! do you agree to this? >> i think it's a great idea. >> find brian cornell! >> it was free! >> we should get a tight shot of brian's face so people know this is what he looks like! that is great! >> he'll be at a number of stores. >> i will be on thanksgiving day. >> thanks to you and your >> if your thanksgiving meal, is it a recipe for health problems? dr. david agus is in the toyota green room to explain how turkey with all of the trimmings and dessert and drink may all affect your body. our resident cartoonist liza o'donnell is here. she recently drew all of this. it's all ahead of the big day tomorrow.

liza's work and tap on the photos to listen to the stories behind these images. >> i like that idea. mastering irresistibly smooth. the lindor truffle ... from the lindt master chocolatiers. hard outer shell... smooth, luscious center. unwrap. unwind. with the lindor truffle. from the lindt master chocolatiers. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment.

ain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. am ready to be cured. are you ready?

? ? as we prepare to chow down this thanksgiving, we are taking

and drinks and the trimmings. a typical holiday meal could top 4,500 calories! that is more than twice the average daily recommended total. the dinner could contain nearly 3 1/2 times the suggested fat and equals to three sticks of butter. our dr. david agus joins us to tell us about this downer. i think this is a thing of beauty. you're saying think about this before you indulge. >> ga >> so the science of overeating is pretty wild. something that makes u.s. hungry and leptin saying we are full. we eat more because of that. but that science is important because what happens is as your stomach gets sxanexpanded assit the stomach and it could push up and you can get acid reflux and indigestion and that is what you feel.

>> a quarter of all that would be okay? >> yeah. i'm not here to say how much you should eat, charlie. >> how big is your stomach? >> your stomach is four cups. when you eat more and more your stomach gets expanded and the key is at some point to stop. within two hours of a meal, thanksgiving, 400% increase of heart attacks. you shunt blood elsewhere to the body and that restricts blood to the heart. >> you can't pick it up early which is to say fasting. laying off -- >> or saving room. >> yeah. no saving room. >> no. >> don't eat on wednesday so you can eat on thursday. >> a myth that doesn't work. eat breakfast. drink water before you eat and plan activity and running around at thanksgiving. don't do within an hour or two

or two to be degraded in your stomach. when you're eating a large meal you're talking five, six hours. when you exercise after that it shunts blood from your stomach and why you get nauseous. >> if you eat half of that, is that okay? what is so wrong with one day indulging? when you think about it. >> listen. the big scheme of things nothing is wrong as long as it's not too much. if you look at the data, our lowest weight in the country is in october. stng at thanksgiving, there is a rise in weight until around january 1. then it takes five months on average for the country to get back to where they started! so if you practice a little bit of moderation these five weeks it will pay off significantly in the long run. >> what about if you eat half of that? >> we are looking for half! >> you have this half and you have this half.

you get sleepy after eating so much turkey. there is more of it in cheese -- >> david agus, thank you. >> thank you. >> you want to get diverted this holiday weekend? who doesn't? the overnight plane trouble that left passengers stuck on this

"the sacramento bee" reports on the rescue of a cat that spent 90 days on top of an electric pole. the cat needed food and water. the cat is named fat boy. i'm wondering why it took them nine days saying we better get fat boy. >> not so britain's "guardian" reports on a solid gold surprise. a man in france covered gold bar and coins in a house he inherited from a deceased relative. about 5,000 pieces of gold hidden from furniture to piles of linen. he recently sold the gold for $3.5 million! a lot of gold!

david pogue has to get our lives in line and not a day too soon. it's essential tips and shortcuts that no one bothers to tell you about beating the system. this is his third book and "the new york times" best selling series. he offers some 200 tips that could help all of us. david pogue, welcome. i want to get to the gift card tips. oftentimes a gift card and lovely gift b it? >> world's biggest scam. i give you a 50 dollar gift card and maybe it's a store you don't use so according to to consumer reports twenty of us never use it. websites are gift card exchanges called card cash.com and card pool.com where they will buy your unused gift card for ka cash so for maybe 70% of the face value. that is a.

cards can then go buy the cards that other people have turned in. so get hundred dollar itunes gift card for 85 bucks. >> you had gap, incumbent republic and old navy never pay full price. if you do, you're a sucker! you said a sucker! we do that all the time! >> they are openwned by the sam mothership company. usually tied to the holidays they mark the entire store off 40%! 40% is a credit card you get 20% off and you get $5 off for every hundred dollars you spend. if you look into the very basics of these things, especially look for the 40% sales every couple of months you'll find you'll never pay the markup price. >> you're not a fan of extended warranties either? >> no. consumer reports have been shown it's a waste of your money unless it's a mobile thing like a phone. but refrigerators and stuff, no. >> this time of year we think

to buy. there are things right now perhaps we should avoid? >> there are big deals coming up on black friday. my tip there is black friday.com. a round site that rounds up all of the story's offers for friday. >> it tells you where you can find them or evaluate them? >> just list them to help you prepare. which stores are going to stand in line for and which ones have deals. >> you said most americans have huge credit card debt but that is also something that we can take care of kind -- specific kind of credit card? >> if you have credit card debt. >> 9,600 you said? >> the average american is 9,600 in debt on your credit card. the main thing to know you can call the credit card company and ask them to lower on the rate. if you explain to them that you have a plan to pay it off, i'm getting a new job, i'm working harder. by september i'll have it taken care of, can you help me out? they will help you out.

>> what is great you said don't spend money on things, spend money on experiences. i think that is such a good note on this holiday weekend. >> that is what science says. the best use of your money is not on object which gives you a terry spike on happiness but on experiences you remember. >> like travel? >> travel, cooking class, things like that that you'll always remember and it's a part of you. >> is it fear as much as anything when we sit down to do you find that fear grips us and so we make bad decisions? >> i guess it depends on how afraid of you are of current situation. my point in the book is that we leave money on the table everywhere we go. people say time is money. mine is inspiration is money. if you know starbucks goes unlimited coffee and refills for 50 cents each all day long, you can ask for it. >> do not fall for the 99 cent

there a lot of tension out there right now. if you're planning a family get together a new sce you should know about. >> using your phone you can use a professional moderator to manage your meals like wolf blitzer and megyn kelly. >> he should build a wall. they are coming across by the millions. >> hillary should be -- >> she won the popular vote. >> no one can get away with this! >> if we could just please get back to the original question. could someone please pass the salt?

that is funny. ellen degeneres with help from wolf blitzer. a record high 77% of america thinks the united states is divided on the most important values. some families are sure to find themselves split on different ends of the political spectrum. mo rocca found one of those famlies and talked with them about the election results in a dry run of a thanksgiving dinner. this should be good, mo. >> 42-year-old victor is from philadelphia and voted for hillary clinton. his mother, 66-year-old fran bauer, lives in ocean county, new jersey, and voted for donald trump. this family ordinarily does not talk about politics but this campaign and election were different and that is add ago whole other thick layer of stress to this thanksgiving. how are holiday meetinals for y family? >> particularly pretty calm

stressful. we are in an unusual situation which my wife and i tend to vote democrat and everybody that comes to my house votes republican. >> reporter: you're outnumbered. will you gloat a little bit? >> i won't do that. a verse in the bible says work at piece and edification and that is me. >> reporter: you're taking a very new testament approach? >> yes. >> reporter: but if you're pushed, you can go old testament on that? >> i can! listen. my husband and i have researched a lot about the clintons and hillary and no way were we going to invite -- vote for her. >> reporter: alex carter, columbia law professor and professional mediator joined us at the thanksgiving table to mediate. >> are you recommending that people eliminate politics from the conversation? >> mo, this is a very unusual

anybody set a blanket rule if it doesn't work for their family. >> victor, you have two children. >> we have two children. the other side of this is i worry about teaching them a bad lesson which is that, you know, we, as a family, can't get together and have a level-headed conversation about important topics without it going off the rails. >> reporter: so why don't we venture gingerly into a discussion about the election? >> sure. >> reporter: so i'll start. boy. that was kind of trump took wisconsin! >> when trump took pennsylvania, i knew it was all over. >> my daughter, she is pro-trump. you know? she was very happy and i talked with her and i didn't talk to victor about it because i knew who he veted for and i didn't want to say, yea, trump won! >> well, that was very kind of you. >> fran, what is one thing you would like victor to know? >> well, that trump wasn't my

much before the election because we were so tired of hearing it. and, you know, the way he talks, trump, he comes across sometimes in a very arrogant way! but i knew i couldn't vote for hillary clinton so that is why i voted for trump. >> reporter: what do you want to say right now? >> she doesn't like listening to donald trump but now she has four years of listening to donald trump. >> i know. it's true. my vote was a vote against donald trump. >> reporter: they share that then that they hate the other candidate? >> yes. the only thing i would say is i, as a christian, i'm praying that he surrounds himself with good advisers. >> she just brought religion into this now! we started with politics and she brought religion in. >> we are ready for the trifecta. i feel if somebody insults the food, we will have completed the mission. >> reporter: your response?

on the same page, actually. i just have a hard time connecting donald trump to anything referabling christianity. >> both of you have a strong christian faith in common. it's just where that faith leads you politically that is different. >> j>> reporter: back to politics. we asked fran and victor to try a conversation about an issue that dominate the campaign trail. >> mom, do you think it's a good idea to build a wall between mexico and the united states? >> there needs to be better control in keeping illegal immigrants out. i'm not saying that the wall is the best way. but there does need to be something. >> it should come in legally as our ancestors did. >> i agree. >> and as your wife's parents did. >> my wife's parents were born in india.
