Trump on “60 Minutes”
Donald Trump has given his first television interview as president-elect to “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl. Since the election, demonstrations have broken out in more than a dozen cities across the country. America is divided. Stahl asks the soon-to-be president about the tumult, how he reacted to his victory, how he thinks he won it, and how he’ll handle the myriad quandaries he’s about to inherit.
Negotiations begin
One of the truths to emerge from President-elect Trump’s interview for “60 Minutes,” was that some of his signature issues -- the ones that were at the heart of his campaign -- were not meant to be taken literally, but as opening bids for negotiation. He answered questions about his policy priorities as president, including which areas might ultimately look a bit different than what he said on the campaign trail.
Conflict of interest
Donald Trump’s campaign says figuring out how to transfer the family real estate business to his children is a top priority. The Trump Organization is a privately-held company that has always answered directly to him, not shareholders. Now his shareholders are the American people, and his massive portfolio presents unprecedented conflicts of interest.
Medicaid prescription
Obamcare isn’t the only federal health care program in Donald Trump’s crosshairs. The president-elect is also targeting Medicaid, which provides health coverage to millions of low-income Americans and people with disabilities. We examine the incoming administration’s plans for Medicaid, along with the potential impact on beneficiaries.
Cost of college
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump said he’d work with Congress to make college more affordable for Americans. For households facing crushing higher education costs, the question is whether he’ll govern as he campaigned. We look at how the new administration might try to address one of the most pressing financial concerns for American families.
Celebrex safety
Popular arthritis drug Vioxx was pulled off the market in 2004 when studies showed daily long-term use could increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. It also raised concerns about Celebrex, a similar drug. Now, a 10-year study is offering reassurance to millions of patients, and could change the way doctors treat arthritis pain.
Bad Supermoon rising
The full moon hasn’t been this close to Earth since 1948, and the it’s been lighting up skies and dazzling onlookers across the world. But the Supermoon has a dark side; the stronger gravitational pull is making seasonal “king tides” even mightier, and that’s a threat to places like south Florida.
