the answer was very memorable and led cbs evening news that e. >> is a question sending troops into central america? >> because of threat to american security, would you consider sending american troops into central america? >> it would have to be very evident that it was a direct threat to the united states. the truth of the matter is, dating back to some days where the big colossus of the north and the united states did lean on, and practiced a certain type of diplomacy, our neighbors do not want us to send that kind of military help. they do not want our troops down there. we respect them for that. el salvador has said, we need some help, weapons, ammunition, and training. we are providing that. we will provide the mandhir, we do not want yours. -- we will provide the manpower. we do not want your, he said. >> we have had some high-powered guests on the state. what does it feel like to take this show to the white house? >> you cannot get any bigger than that. that was before my time a little bit. i had been doing it for 23 years. he is answering a hypothetical question. we were amazed. i

a recent "new york times"/cbs poll clearly shows that a large majority of the american people -- 72% in fact -- want a government-sponsored health care option that would compete with private health insurance companies. 72%. what's even more incredible, 50% of all republicans in this country want a public option. there seems to be a disconnect between my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and even their republican constituents. do you know why so many americans want a public plan? because despite what many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would have you believe, they don't feel they have affordable choices, and fundamentally this is what lies at the heart of our public plan proposal. we want to ensure all americans have a guaranteed, affordable choice when it comes to health insurance and right now too many of them don't. in many areas of the country, one or two insurers have a stranglehold on the entire market which produces costly premiums and health care decisions that often serve the interests of the insurer, not the patient. in fact, according to a study of
