back here in las vegas, the excitement for the super bowl is growing. in just a few days, the san francisco 49ers and kansas city chiefs will battle for the lombardi trophy. but for one coach, this isn't his biggest battle. for johnny holland, that's a fight against cancer. and with america's most watched sporting event as the backdrop, he hopes to make a difference with his story. with just three days to go, it's crunch time for the san francisco 49ers. win or lose, linebackers coach johnny holland is cherishing every moment. >> sunday is a great day because it's game day. but, you know, i found out now that every day is a great day. it's taught me a lot to see life in a different perspective. >> reporter: five years ago after feeling pain in his shoulder and ribs, holland was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare, incurable blood cancer. >> immediately i started chemo treatment and went on every day

going to work every day and go get the chemo once a week. it probably took six months to realize that, hey, this is pretty serious that you're going through. >> reporter: he's now part of a clinical trial at university of california-san francisco medical center that's testing new treatments. >> immunotherapy utilizes the body's immune system to help fight the cancer. to explain it simply, one arm attaches to the cancer cell, and one arm attaches to the body's own t-cell. what it does is basically revs up the body's own immune system, revs up the body's t-cell to help attack the cancer. >> reporter: samantha sha know is a nurse practitioner who is coaching holland through every visit. >> patients living with myeloma live with a lot of uncertainty. he faces that uncertainty with a really positive attitude. >> reporter: the cause of multiple myeloma is unknown. also unknown, why black patients make up 1 in five new diagnoses. >> it's really important to have

3:31 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and we are live here in las vegas with just three days to go before super bowl lviii on cbs. but we want to begin tonight with the blockbuster news about the two men who are expected to face off again in this year's presidential election. tonight the dramatic new testimony and questions at the supreme court about whether the constitution, specifically the 14th amendment, should bar donald trump from being on the presidential ballot in several states. you could say that not since the 2000 supreme court court decision of bush v. gore has the nation's highest court taken such a direct role in the outcome of a presidential election. president biden too facing questions tonight about his handling of classified documents from his time as vice president and senator. the long-awaited special counsel report just released included pictures of classified afghanistan documents found in the garage near a dog crate.
3:32 am
and while there are no charges, the report says joe biden disclosed classified materials when he was a private citizen. what could this all mean for the upcoming election just nine months away? cbs's catherine herridge has the details from the report. >> reporter: the 345-page special counsel report is critical of president biden over his handling of highly classified documents, including photos of records crammed into desk drawers, some in a damaged cardboard box in the garage at his delaware home. others at a former office in washington, d.c. special counsel robert hur writes that mr. biden's conduct presented serious risks to national security, but hur decided not to bring criminal charges because the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. the president responded this afternoon. >> the bottom line is the special counsel in my case decided against moving forward with any charges. this matter is now closed.
3:33 am
>> reporter: during the year-long investigation, special counsel investigators questioned 147 witnesses and collected over 7 million documents from biden's time in the senate, as vice president, and to the present day. mr. biden, himself, was interviewed by hur, a former u.s. attorney, for five hours, who wrote that the president did not remember when he was vice president or when his son, beau, died. if the president were charged, hur wrote that he would likely present himself to the jury as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. the records included documents marked classified as well as mr. biden's personal notebooks of national security briefings. the records contained highly sensitive intelligence, sources, and methods, military programs and capabilities of foreign terrorist groups. hur emphasized that president biden was cooperative while former president trump, who was charged in a separate investigation, allegedly did the
3:34 am
opposite. >> special counsel acknowledged i cooperated completely. >> reporter: mr. biden seized on that today. >> i did not throw up any roadblocks. i sought no delays. in fact, i was so determined to give special counsel what they needed, i went forward with a five-hour, in-person interview. >> reporter: and the white house is pushing back hard against hur's comments about the president's memory, a signal the special counsel's observations about that may be the lasting headline from the report. norah. >> catherine herridge outside the justice department, thank you. well, now to the historic arguments today at the u.s. supreme court. at issue is whether former president donald trump is constitutionally ineligible to hold office again because of his actions surrounding the january 6th attack. and while there are no cameras allowed inside the nation's highest court, there is live audio that cbs's chief legal correspondent jan crawford says did give us some insight today into just how these justices may ultimately rule. >> reporter: in a case that could determine the presidency,
3:35 am
the justices seemed to find rare common ground, appearing poised to rule perhaps unanimously that states can't use an obscure constitutional provision to kick donald trump off the ballot. that would be up to congress. liberal justice elena kagan got right to the point. >> i think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the united states. >> reporter: conservative amy coney barrett agreed. >> it just doesn't seem like a state call. >> reporter: the colorado supreme court said trump should be removed from the state's ballots, narrowly ruling he committed insurrection on january 6th and was disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment. it says, no person shall be a senator or representative in congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office who took an oath and then engaged in insurrection. justice ketanji brown jackson focused on the amendment's specific words as another reason trump could prevail, suggesting the provision, passed after the
3:36 am
civil war, didn't clearly apply to presidents. >> they were listing people that were barred, and president is not there. and so if there's an ambiguity, why would we construe it against democracy? >> reporter: the justices also were troubled by the potential impact of the colorado decision and how it could be weaponized by both sides. >> i would expect that a, you know, a goodly number of states will say, whoever the democratic candidate is, you're off the ballot. and others, for the republican candidate, you're off the ballot. and it will come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. that's a pretty daunting consequence. >> reporter: people camped out overnight for up to two days to get a seat inside, but trump did not attend. >> i'm a believer in our country, and i'm a believer in the supreme court. i listened today, and i thought our arguments were very, very strong. >> and jan crawford joins us now
3:37 am
from the supreme court. so, jan, if the justices ultimately say that states can't take donald trump off the ballot and let's say he's convicted in one of his legal battles, what happens next? can he still be re-elected? >> well, i mean, the short answer is yes. there is nothing in the constitution that would stop him from being re-elected. there is a possibility that congress could move to try to disqualify him if it finds he committed insurrection. but based on what we've seen from congress so far, norah, i think that seems unlikely. let's turn now to the latest developments in the search for five missing marines in the mountains outside san diego. authorities today said that the search is now after their remains were found this morning. they were killed when their helicopter went down during stormy weather late tuesday night. cb cbs's jonathan vigliotti is at the scene with details. >> reporter: norah, an active recovery mission is currently under way here in the san diego mountains. it's been complicated by this
3:38 am
weather and all of this rugged terrain. the bodies of the five u.s. marines were discovered near the crash site. the pentagon says it will release their names by tomorrow. this flight was part of a training exercise. the super stallion helicopter took off from nevada. it was headed to a base in san diego when it hit extreme weather tuesday evening. the exact cause of the crash is currently under investigation. that helicopter was just 44 miles away from its final destination, norah. >> oh, that is heartbreaking. jonathan vigliotti, thank you so jonathan vigliotti, thank you so much. bladder leak underwear has one job. i just want to feel protected! especially for those sudden gush moments. always discreet protects like no other. with a rapid dry core that locks in your heaviest gush quickly for up to zero leaks. always discreet- the protection we deserve!

3:41 am
at allegiant stadium in las vegas. about half a million people are expected to visit sin city for the big weekend, and keeping everyone safe means having watchful eyes on the ground and in the skies. kris van cleave reports. >> reporter: strap in. we're along for the ride in the back of a california air national guard if-15 fighter flying near the speed of sound over owens valley, california. fighters like these from the 144th fighter wing will be norad's first responders should an aircraft pierce the 30-mile no-fly zone around allegiant stadium during sunday's super bowl. >> they get on you pretty quickly. >> reporter: this is a training mission. major christopher lacroix is at the controls. we are playing the role of the airspace violator. after crossing into the simulated no-fly zone referred to as a tfr and not answering air traffic control, fighters are scrambed to intercept us. >> you have entered a tfr. if you hear this radio transmission, reply or rock your
3:42 am
wings. >> reporter: within seconds, this intimidating sight. a fully armed f-15 off our wing. >> you have been intercepted by armed air defense fighters. >> reporter: the fighter pilots will make several maneuvers like rocking their wings along with radio calls, trying to get the errant's pilot's attention. if that doesn't work, they call this a head butt, flying right in front of the unresponsive plane. >> if i'm focused just in front of me, i won't see the peripherals. so the last resort we're going to try to use, go right out in front of them to get their attention. >> reporter: once they have that pilot's attention, they'll be directed to follow the fighters and land at the nearest airport. if not -- >> we're going to go and prevent them from entering that tfr. >> we're actively being intercepted by two f-15 fighters trying to get our attention to get out of the airspace. >> here he is rocking his wings. when he kwuts out in front of you, that should get your attention. yep, i got to follow him to the left. >> reporter: airspace violations are overwhelmingly unintended or accidental. it last happened during a super
3:43 am
bowl in 2018, prompting fighters to be scrambled. >> we've spent months planning for this, to build the airspace plan on how we would secure this event. >> while you guys are watching the game, we're going to be watching the skies. >> that was kris van cleave in the skies over las vegas. that city has been the country's gambling capital since the first casino was licensed there in 1931. but for decades, major sports leagues stay away for fears that wagering on games would taint the competition. well, not anymore. las vegas is emerging as a major sports city and not just because of the super bowl. dana jacobson reports. >> reporter: less than a decade ago, not a single major league sports team called las vegs home. now the city hosts an nfl team, an nhl team, a wnba team, and major league baseball is on the way. >> it's amazing the super bowl is here. >> reporter: ed grainy is one of those been there, seen it all kind of sports reporters. but in recent years, the "las
3:44 am
vegas review journal" columnist is witnessing something new. >> we're a sports town now. >> reporter: when grainy first came to las vegas almost 20 years ago, college basketball and boxing were pretty much the only sports here. >> i doubted how many pro sports would actually ever come here. >> what changed? >> well, the gambling changed, and the laws about gambling changed. >> reporter: with pro sports and gambling a potential toxic mix, leagues were wary of las vegas. but when the supreme court struck down the federal ban on gambling in 2018, sanctioned sports betting spread across the country. >> this is a sports town, a serious sports town, that didn't have a sports team. >> reporter: bill foley is the owner of the nhl's reigning champs, the golden knights, the first professional team to call las vegas home. a year before the supreme court decision. with las vegas being far from huge, the 40th market in the country, the league was concerned about filling seats. >> now that you have the team, what is that fan base like? >> our fan base is local.
3:45 am
it always has been local. i've seen the wanlers in house, i get irritated. >> reporter: the aces of the wnba were the second pro team in las vegas. with back-to-back championships, they have also found a loyal fan base. guard jackie young is a two-time all-star. >> what is that like, that atmosphere for you at home games? >> yeah, it's great. i mean they really support us. >> reporter: it's one thing to fill an arena. a stadium is a different story. the raiders moved to las vegas from oakland. a run through the parking lots at tailgate time showed a lot of out of town license plates. and while the league says they were a big draw for visiting fans, for the season, the raiders drew the second lowest attendance in the nfl for their nine home games. another oakland franchise, major leek baseball's a's, are poised to be the next pro team to relocate to vegas in 2028, and that means filling seats for 81 home games, nearly twice the
3:46 am
number of any other sport. >> how will the a's do here? >> that's the major question. that's the major question of a lot of people. >> and of course you can watch all that super bowl lviii action sunday right here on cbs. our coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. eastern. you're watching the "cbs overnight news." i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget

4:01 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and we are live here in las vegas with just three days to go before super bowl lviii on cbs. but we want to begin tonight with the blockbuster news about the two men who are expected to face off again in this year's presidential election. tonight the dramatic new testimony and questions at the supreme court about whether the constitution, specifically the 14th amendment, should bar donald trump from being on the presidential ballot in several states. you could say that not since the 2000 supreme court decision of bush v. gore has the nation's highest court taken such a direct role in the outcome of a presidential election. president biden, too, facing questions tonight about his handling of classified documents from his time as vice president and senator. the long-awaited special counsel report just released included pictures of classified afghanistan documents found in the garage near a dog crate.
4:02 am
and while there are no charges, the report says joe biden disclosed classified materials when he was a private citizen. what could this all mean for the upcoming election just nine months away? cbs's catherine herridge has the details from the report. >> reporter: the 345-page special counsel report is critical of president biden over his handling of highly classified documents, including photos of records crammed into desk drawers, some in a damaged cardboard box in the garage at his delaware home. others at a former office in washington, d.c. special counsel robert hur writes that mr. biden's conduct presented serious risks to national security. but hur decided not to bring criminal charges because the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. the president responded this afternoon. >> the bottom line is the special counsel in my case decided against moving forward %-p.
4:03 am
>> reporter: during the year-long investigation, special counsel investigators questioned 147 witnesses and collected over 7 million documents from biden's time in the senate, as vice president, and to the present day. mr. biden, himself, was interviewed by hur, a former u.s. attorney, for five hours, who wrote that the president did not remember when he was vice president or when his son, beau, died. if the president were charged, hur wrote that he would likely present himself to the jury as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. the records included documents marked classified as well as mr. biden's personal notebooks of national security briefings. the records contained highly sensitive intelligence, sources, and methods, military programs and capabilities of foreign terrorist groups. hur emphasized that president biden was cooperative while former president trump, who was charged in a separate investigation, allegedly did the opposite.
4:04 am
>> the special counsel acknowledged that i cooperated completely. >> reporter: mr. biden seized on that today. >> i did not throw up any roadblocks. i sought no delays. in fact, i was so determined to give special counsel what they needed, i went forward with a five-hour, in-person interview. >> reporter: and the white house is pushing back hard against hur's comments about the president's memory, a signal the special counsel's observations about that may be the lasting headline from the report. norah. >> catherine herridge outside the justice department, thank you. well, now to the historic arguments today at the u.s. supreme court. at issue is whether former president donald trump is constitutionally ineligible to hold office again because of his actions surrounding the january 6th attack. and while there are no cameras allowed inside the nation's highest court, there is live audio that cbs's chief legal correspondent jan crawford says did give us some insight today into just how these justices may ultimately rule. >> reporter: in a case that could determine the presidency,
4:05 am
the justices seemed to find rare common ground, appearing poised to rule perhaps unanimously that states can't use an obscure constitutional provision to kick donald trump off the ballot. that would be up to congress. lberal justice elena kagan got right to the point. >> i think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the united states. >> reporter: conservative amy coney barrett agreed. >> it just doesn't seem like a state call. >> reporter: the colorado supreme court said trump should be removed from the state's ballots, narrowly ruling he committed insurrection on january 6th and was disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment. it says, no person shall be a senator or representative in congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office who took an oath and then engaged in insurrection. justice ketanji brown jackson focused on the amendment's specific words as another reason trump could prevail, suggesting
4:06 am
the provision, passed after the civil war, didn't clearly apply to presidents. >> they were listing people that were barred, and president is not there. and so if there's an ambiguity, why would we construe it against democracy? >> reporter: the justices also were troubled by the potential impact of the colorado decision and how it could be weaponized by both sides. >> i would expect that, you know, a goodly number of states will say, whoever the democratic candidate is, you're off the ballot. and others, for the republican candidate, you're off the ballot. and it will come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. that's a pretty daunting consequence. >> reporter: people camped out overnight for up to two days to get a seat inside, but trump did not attend. >> i'm a believer in our country, and i'm a believer in the supreme court. i listened today, and i thought our arguments were very, very strong.
4:07 am
>> and jan crawford joins us now from the supreme court. so, jan, if the justices ultimately say that states can't take donald trump off the ballot, and let's say he's convicted in one of his legal battles, what happens next? can he still be re-elected? >> well, i mean, the short answer is yes. there's nothing in the constitution that would stop him from being re-elected. there is a possibility that congress could move to try to disqualify him if it finds he committed insurrection. but based on what we've seen from congress so far, norah, i think that seems unlikely. >> jan crawford, thank you so much. let's bring in cbs's senior white house and political correspondent ed o'keefe. ize he's with us here in las vegas. ed, what an extraordinary day of news. president biden said this matter is closed, but this is still going to be an issue, right? >> it absolutely is. today more than any other in this campaign season arguably encapsulates the worries and concerns voters have over both of these candidates, trump and his perceived threat to
4:08 am
democracy and the fact he's going to have to spend so much time in courtrooms this year. for the president, he cooperated with an vex but exposed to prosecutors issues with his faculties and his ability to recall basic facts. it's going to be catnip for his critics. in his own statement, the president pointed out, i sat and talked to these prosecutors for two days after hamas' attack on israel because i was so concerned about trying to get this case closed so the american people could move on. he cooperated, but, again, it's going to raise fresh questions about his

afternoon when police responded to a call that a child had been shot. cbs's kerri corrado has the story. >> reporter: tonight investigators are sifting through what is left of the burned-out house they believe six members of the same family died inside -- three adults and three children. so far they've managed to recover the remains of three bodies and a rifle. >> shots are coming from inside the house. we have two officers shot. >> reporter: reports of someone shooting at police came in just after 3:00 wednesday. >> i never expected there to be a shoot-out right outside of my house. >> reporter: derek richardson captured the chaotic scene on his cell phone. >> get inside! get inside! >> reporter: police were responding to reports of a child shot when someone inside opened fire. minutes later, the home was completely engulfed in flames. >> one of them may, in fact, have been the shooter. but we're still with the process of trying to find out where everybody is inside that house. >> reporter: this afternoon, a woman who described herself as the mother of a shooter spoke
4:13 am
through a translator to cbs news. she said there was an argument inside the house that spiraled out of control. >> no history of mental problem. no arguing. very happy family, and suddenly something happened. >> reporter: one of the two officers struck by gunfire was released from the hospital today. the other officer is also expected to make a full recovery and could be released as early as tonight. both are 22-year veterans of their department. crime scene investigators will resume their search in the morning. officials believe it may require dental records to identify all of the victims. norah. >> kerri corrado, thank you. the ceos of three major drug companies faced tough questions today on capitol hill. senators accused them of ripping off the american people by charging more for some of their most popular drugs in the u.s. compared to other countries. here's cbs's scott macfarlane. >> reporter: three giants of american medicine took a heavy dose of criticism.
4:14 am
>> americans are forced to pay higher and higher prices for the drugs they need to survive. >> reporter: from a senate committee investigating prices of some of the most popular medicines, thousands of dollars for diabetes drug januvia, and hiv treatment symtuza. >> it's like a bag of heavy rocks. people have been carrying this around on their shoulders. >> reporter: the ceos of johnson & johnson, merck, and bristol-myers squibb -- >> will you commit today that bristol-myers squibb will reduce the list price of eliquis? >> we can't make that commitment. >> reporter: answered for why their drugs cost three times more in the u.s. than in 33 other wealthy countries. >> it has very high labor costs. there are transportation costs. there are raw material costs. >> reporter: the execs and republicans argued the companies often pump their massive earnings into research and new medicines. >> we spend six times more in developing cures for patients. >> reporter: but some democrats slammed the companies for
4:15 am
spending tens of millions on executive compensation as millions of people skip doses they can't afford. >> has there ever been a time where you had to skip a dose because you didn't have the money? >> yes. >> reporter: including erica jacobson, a montana mother of three, who pays $12,000 a year to treat seizures and an ulcer. >> i had to go to the e.r. and spend a couple of days in the e.r. >> reporter: merck's ceo robert davis said drugmakers do offer rebates and discounts, but davis, who testified today only after being threatened with a subpoena, declined to answer our question. the pharmaceutical giants are also suing to stop a biden administration plan to give medicare more power to negotiate lower drug prices. they say it will cut into their earnings and their ability to make new medicines. norah. >> scott macfarlane on capitol hill, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."
