way, i'd be willing to pay a little extra if you'd stop serving low fat, no salt, formerly fresh turkey wet roll. my advice to airlines is this-- keep it simple. leave on time and get there when you said you would. we'll get something to eat later. >> i'm steve kroft. we'll be back next week with another edition of "60 minutes". considering chevy malibu. you a cop? no. you didn't hear from me, but this malibu is a best buy. i heard that from consumers digest. it offers better highway mileage than a comparable camry or accord. estimated 33 highway. i saw that on the epa site. so how come the malibu costs so little. it's a chevy. you have cop hair. the award-winning chevy malibu. compare it to anyone and may the best car win. so i couldn't always do what i wanted to do. but 5 minutes ago i took symbicort and symbicort is already helping significantly improve my lung function. so today, i've noticed a significant difference in my breathing and i'm doing more of what i want to do. so we're clear, it doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. my doctor said symbicort is for copd,

all these things have been done to try to make this turkey look like something other than what it is,which is a massive increase in spending, massive tax increases on the american people, and increased premiums for americans, particularly americans, those 182 americans who already have health insurance who are going to get hit the hardest under this legislation. mr. ensign: maybe we could have the senator from wyoming comment. one of the big things republicans have been talking about, instead of driving premiums which this bill does, driving premiums down, maybe discuss the medical liability option which the a very conservative estimate says it would save $100 billion in medical expenses in this country. as a practicing physician, talk about the unnecessary tests that are ordered, the huge increases in medical liability insurance costs physicians face today. mr. barrasso: you do a poll of doctors and say have you ever ordered a test, ever ordered a test that is really not going to help that person get better, but you were doing it for fear you didn't want to miss something for fear of

there some corresponcorrespondence where manchester said he didn't like lyndon johnson turkey never like to lyndon johnson, and when the book was finally ready for publication, and led to a lawsuit with the kennedy family. mrs. kennedy was primarily concerned that manchester had violated her privacy. she's had sat down for long interviews and shared within many details about her feelings in the hours after the assassination. than a couple years later she regretted doing it, and she blocked a manchester from using those notes. so all the interviews are there except the ones with mrs. kennedy and robert kerry and some the other kennedy people are there, but a lot of things are blacked out. that was part of the agreement that manchester made with them. and she wanted him to remove this mature. she also was concerned, she thought, and robert kennedy believed that the portrait was simple to negative a portrait of lyndon johnson. it was so bad the portrait of lyndon johnson even the kennedy people objected. robert kennedy was afraid that people would see this as nothing more than a political a

where he is relating china in the middle east and pakistan and turkey and everything about domestic politics and one to another. this was fascinating because he spent most of the allotted for years that have to write his memoir writing about his pre presidential years and asked me to come up and read as recounted here read the manuscript and it ended the manuscript i read 700 pages ended before he entered the white house and i said where's the rest of the said address starting. i was stunned and said this is the end of february, you can publish a book you haven't written yet about your presidency in june. >> host: was there something characteristic about that because you certainly see it in once a year of decision making that gets made in a pretty improvisational last minute often kind of harum-scarum quality. >> guest: i think for something this significant yes. but it seemed to me that there was something else going on and there was a reason that he did that or that he didn't do what i wanted him to do which was either to put it down into volumes and maybe have the first book with the firs

i am sure everyone here is making about turkey and pumpkin pie. tonight i will be watching balloons being blown up. you can watch it on television. it is an incredible experience. i can't imagine as much hot air in one place, although this is washington. it is always a pleasure to be here in the nation's capital, particularly since this is the only city his basketball team is jerry as badly as new york's. i feel right at home. i ride the subway every day. the only time anybody has ever yelled at me is one time as a listing of the big hoking garlic to me, glared at me and screamed fix the knicks. there are some things even the mayor can do. president obama took office earlier this year. we are told we should never allow a serious crisis to go a waste. the president is not only working to stabilize the financial community and financial market, the on the industry, he is focused on our long-term economic challenges including the auto industry's public sector equivalent and that is our school system. if you think about it both the auto industry and ou

and dawn, he was the first to do the turkey was the first to try out double clutching they call it that you take away, you destroy the nest in which there are eggs. yankee bait the eggs, in this case he gave the eggs to another kind of bird to raise. the black robin then made another myth that he took those eggs also, put them with another kind of bird and left her to raise her third brood. and then because these other babies that were being raised by different species wouldn't know her to behave like black robin, he took the first match back -- she was known as blue. she had a blue van. he took the first batch back to blue and yellow. and they began looking after them along with their own new tiny babies. and then he took the next batch to hatch and he said she looked up at me and say, what next? [laughter] deck and he said it's all right, darling, we will help you. enzo while this was going around to collect the food. anyway, there are now about 200 black robin's. this was a project being stupid, waste of money and impossible. but because somebody wouldn't give up, because he had a pa

about 20.5 pounced -- when we get our thanksgiving turkey, it is about a 20-pound turkey. one of the real dangers that we're talking about with this health care proposal that the democrats have put before us is the concern about rationing, rationing of our health care. we are seeing that play out a little bit with the recommendations that came out from the preventive services task force and the recommendations on when women should receive mammograms. the real concern and the focus here is that we in this legislation to give it to the secretary of the health and social services a great deal of control, a great deal of authority, and also to medical kelso's that are not elected, not appointed -- medical council that and not elected, not a point, to allow them to make decisions about when we will be covered. it is a peek under the clinton of what we can anticipate with the government--- run ---peak under the curtain of what we can anticipate with a government-run program. >> let's see, the bill as a public option in it, a government takeover of health care, raises insurance p

just remember that this 20 pounds is the size of many people's turkey next week. is what most people in north carolina think about the bill, too. we're here to talk a little bit about what we're hearing at home. what are north carolinian concerned with? jobs. they look at this bill. they know that small business is the engine that will pull us out of this economic crisis. we can't compete and offer health care today if you had your fifty first employee. we will send you a tax bill of thousands of dollars. there is no incentive in this bill for small business to succeed. this bill is actually the cause, potentially, of small business. i come from a state that probably has had more investment in the last 10 years then -- in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and more. what do we do? we take this very crucial areas, the keys to our success to bring down the cost of health care. we ought to put a tax on those that research, develop, and create. we tax their products. medical devices. and it is ironic that we also have just put a new tax on the vaccine for h1n1 in this bill, a

here today, the day before thanksgiving to say in unison at the bloated democratic health bill is a turkey. we need to start from scratch and passed single-payer adjourns for the american people. we will each make three statements and then take your questions. i am speaking today for myself and on behalf of single payer action. the others will be speaking for their organizations. six months ago on may 5, 2009 margaret, carol, kevin, and i were up on capitol hill. we were in the senate finance committee hearing room. it was the beginning of three days of hearings to kick off the healthcare debate in congress. the room was packed. it was packed with industry lobbyists of all stripes, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, you name it. senator max baucus, the chair of the committee, had scheduled three days of hearings. he had asked 41 healthcare experts to testify. not one was an advocate for single-payer national health insurance. single-payer is a simple, clear reform. the house single-payer bill is only 30 pages long. max baucus, obama, and the democrats took it off the table. they replaced i

turkey, a little bit cheaper this year. the big reason is because milk is cheaper. but, pumpkin pie, a little more expensive. if you make it from a can, and from a frozen pie crust. so just don't and you won't have to pay more. >> i'm working thanksgiving, and they always give us a great meal right here at hln. >> oh, really? >> they do. you get to ease nice, get nice and fat for when you're on air. works out really well. >> come over to my house when you're done. >> all right, thanks a lot, jen. >>> we have another clip for you from sarah palin's interview with oprah. palin talks about everything from the presidential campaign to her relationship with levi johnston. she also got surprisingly candid about her interview with katie couric. that famous interview during the 2008 race. remember a lot of people thought it really hurt her image. and here is what she said. >> let's talk about the interview with katie couric. >> ha, ha, must we? >> yes. >> okay, okay. >> you talk about it in the book. so i assume everything is fair game. you do say that it wasn't your best i
