>> mar mccain? >> reporter: president trump ignored questions about mccain today, and for most of the day the white house flag was back at full staff, even as the flags at the u.s. capital per tradition remained at half staff. white house aides didn't explain, but they didn't have to. the president's feelings about mccain are well documented. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, okay? i hate to tell you. >> reporter: across the country in phoenix, the senator's death drew a very different response. >> you respect somebody that much, you never meet them, but you, you, you do know about them. >> my fellow americans, whom i have gratefully served for 60 years -- >> reporter: his former campaign manager rick davis shared mccain's final love letter to the nation. >> i've tried to serve our country honorably. i have made mistakes. but i hope my love for america will be weighed favorably against them. i've had experiences, adventures,ve

and i am so thankful. >> reporter: late this afternoon, the white house flag suddenly returned to half staff and the president issued a proclamation requiring that all public buildings and grounds do the same, as it fell to ivanka trump to hail mccain in public. >> an american patriot who served our country with distinction for more than six decades. >> reporter: on the floor of the u.s. senate, georgia republican johnny isaac son urged the president to drop his grudge. >> anybody who anyway tarnishes the reputation of john mccain deserves a whipping. because most of the ones who would do the wrong thing by john mccain didn't have the guts to do the right thing when it was their turn. >> reporter: in his letter, mccain left the nation with this straight talk about our polarized times. >> we argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our ruckus public debates.

but we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. if only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country, we will get through these challenging times. >> reporter: per an agreement between the trump and mccain families, the president will not be attending. a memorial service for mccain at the national cathedral in washington, d.c. instead, he'll be eulogized by two former presidents, george w. bush and barack obama after mccain lies in state here at the arizona capital building and at the u.s. capital. >> john mccain was something of a fixture here at cbs news. he appeared on "face the nation" a record 112 times. most of those interviews were conducted by our very own bob

schieffer. norah o'donnell spoke with bob about the senator's life and legacy. >> bob schieffer,he>> we, i was. but it was, you know, you'd agree it was one of the most fun assignments i ever had in all my days at cbs news. >> this farewell statement that mccain delivered today through a spokesman, he called himself the luckiest man on earth. but it wouldn't be mccain if he didn't have a message to deliver, and he pointed out it's important to serve a cause bigger than ourselves. is that the mccain legacy? >> you know, it sounds like a cliche in all, but he really believed that. and if you look at his life, that's how he lived it. and he loved being alive. >> senator mccain passed on saturday evening. it has taken 48 hours for president trump to deliver a statement, not beyond the twitter message that he delivered expressing condolences

for the family. >> i don't know what motivates president trump in, in times like this. what i do know, this will not be a part of john mccain's legacy. this will be a part of donald trump's legacy. >> and then the american flag, it was lowered to half staff on saturday after mccain passed, hen then it was raised again monday morning and this afternoon it was lowered to half mast. >> to me this was making a mockery of one of our most solemn tributes to our finest people. i've never seen, in all my years in washington, this kind of thing where the american legion has to write the president and demand they lower the flag to half staff. i think john mccain is going to be remembered as a great man. he certainly was in my estimation. and frankly, i don't say this very often, it was an honor for

me to get to know him and to watch him and to report on what he was doing. >> i'd say the same. thank you, bob. >> thank you. >> we are learning more about the gunman who opened fire inside a gaming competition in jacksonville, florida, after losing a game he killed two people and wounded nine others before turning the gun on himself. manuel bojorquez reports. >> reporter: the live stream of sunday's event shows what appears to be a red laser aimed at 22-year-old elijah clayton, then gunfire. clayton and 28-year-old taylor robertson were shot and killed. investigators say by david katz. >> david katz keeps to himself. >> reporter: katz had just been eliminated. sheriff williams. >> he passed patrons who were in other parts of the business and focused his attention on the gamers.

and then i think, you know, cancer chose the wrong guy causn here. >> reporter: determined to stay in the arena, senator mccain resumed his duties in washington. you'd never have known it, but he started his days with chemo and radiation, and then headed off to a full day of work. >> come on, guys. >> reporter: including chairing hearings of the armed services committee. >> as leaders of our navy, you must do better. i am more energetic and more engage the as a result of this because i know that i've got to do everything i can to serve this country while i can. >> reporter: you have the same cancer that ted kennedy had. >> yes. >> reporter: does, does what he experienced go through your mind? >> oh, yeah. i think about ted a lot. ted stayed at his job, kept working, kept going, even when

he was in a wheelchair. and he never gave up because he loved the engagement. >> reporter: the senator first learned he had a problem in arizona last july when doctors found a blood clot over his left eye after a routine checkup at the mayo clinic in phoenix. he was driving back to the ranch when he got word. >> i was driving up here and i got about two-thirds of the way up, and my doctor called and said, you've got to come back. and i said, hey, today is friday. i'll just come in on monday. she said, no, you have to come now. it's very serious. >> reporter: you turn the cara round and went immediately into surgery. >> yes, they thought it was serious enough that they had to act immediately. >> reporter: and before the blood clot operation, did they e teresting.blastoma to you?>> >> reporter: they cover themselves. >> i kept saying to them, tell

it to me straight. well, there's always this, there's always that, you know. i said, i can take it. just tell me. and then they were more forthcoming. >> reporter: five days after the surgery, lab results confirmed he had glioblastoma, the brain cancer that took his life. what did they tell you about the prognosis? >> that it's very serious, that the prognosis is very, very some say 3%, some say 14%, you know. it's a very poor prognosis. so i just said, i understand. now we've got to do what we can, get the best doctors we can find and do the best we can. and at the same time, celebrate with gratitude a life well lived. >> reporter: was he that tough? >> yes. >> reporter: just 11 days after his surgery, he returned to

washington against doctors' advice for the vote to repeal obamacare. you walk out onto the senate floor. you thought it was going to be normal, empty, most empty. and the entire senate was there. they stand up, they give you an incredible ovation. what was -- what went on inside? >> i got very choked up. and then, of course, you know, all of them coming over and giving me a hug. it was deeper than i had ever seen anything like that. >> reporter: so you get all this affection, and then you give this this speech. what kind of scolding to the people who just stood up and loved you? this was a speech condemning the way the senate has been operating. >> we're getting nothing done, my friends. we're getting nothing because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle.

>> reporter: two days later, as the repeal obamacare vote was s to urgent lobbying by vice-president pence and the president himself over the phone. and yet at 1:29 a.m., mccain delivered the dramatic and decisive thumbs down as a dejected majority leader mitch mcconnell bowed his head. it was a huge defeat for president trump who had mocked mccain's vietnam war record. >> he's not a war hero. he is a war hero -- he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, okay? >> reporter: there are some people who think that part of your "no" was to get back at the president, and that the thumbs down was kind of more like a middle finger. to him. >> if i took offense at everybody who has said something about me or disparaged me or

something like that, life is too short. you've got to move on. and on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then i'm not doing my job. >> reporter: but the fact is his personal relationship with the president had been fraught. last summer he wrote an op-ed saying the president is, quote, often poorly informed and can be impulsive. do you worry that he's not fit for the office? >> first of all, i believe in our system. the american people selected donald trump to be president of the united states. we have to respect that. second of all, he has a very strong national security team around him who i know has a significant influence over him. >> reporter: how would you describe how the president is handling his job so far? >> well, i think he is handling it in a fashion that is unfortunately not predictable. the one thing your friends and your enemies want is a

predictable path. he changes his statements almost on a daily basis. i don't know what he's going to do tomorrow, so -- or say tomorrow. >> reporter: did he ever apologize for saying you're not a hero? >> no. >> reporter: if the president wanted to have a -- with you, would you be receptive? >> of course, of course. i've supported him on national security. i've supported him -- >> reporter: man-to-man. >> sure, i'd be glad to converse with him. but i also understand that we are very different people, different upbringing, different life experiences. >> what do you mean by that, and what does it make you think about? >> he is in the business of making money and he has been successful both on television as well as miss america and others. i was raised in a military family. i was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country

is the lode star for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day. >> you can see the full report on our website, cbs news.com. the overnight news will be right back. why did i want a crest 3d white smile?

ends of the earth for the perfect shot. joe describes his efforts to capture images of the elusive shadow cats. >> reporter: years ago in the bolivia amazon, a jaguar came so close to my photographer's blind i could hear her breathing. but she didn't make a sound with her feet, not one leaf crunched or twig snapped. as an ambush hunter, she must either be completely silent or starved to death. she vanished into the foliage as if walking on air. now, if a bright orange 150-pound jaguar can be that steal stealthy, plaj what a small wild cat is capable of. some call them shadow cats and there are 31 species around the world. ranging in size from the iberian lynx to the three-pound flat headed cat. there is the car cal, the mar gay, and the clouded leopard. never heard of them? few of us have, and al around us. if you hike or camp, it's likely you've been watched by one

without ever knowing it. in south america, perhaps an onsyla. they've been there for ee i don't knows in the mountains, rain forests, marsheses, deserts. but 25 years in the field and i've never seen one with my own eyes, never. instead i've had to use camera traps unmanned motion detectors, just to get these few images from the wild. each species is a masterpiece of natural camouflage. the spotted pattern on this osla allows it to melt into the brush, while this palaces cat blends in perfectly with the rocks of its himalayan home. it's no wonder so little is known about them. take the marbled cat. just what is that huge tail for? only one cat, and i mean one has been studied in the wild so far. researchers think that tail may be used for balance on night patrols high up in the forest. oh, and it can turn its hind

feet around 180 degrees around backwards to walk down trees like squirlz. your house cat could be a descend ant of this african wild cat and curled up on your lap it is every bit as amazing as the rest. the purring you hear isn't random. it's known to heal muscles and relax owners. it is one of the few domestic animals and return to the wild and actually thrive there. best to keep that kitty inside, though. cats are efficient predators and can kill native wide life including songbirds. ot work though,'veome tosmallat just one conclusion. they're simply beautiful. from the jaguar undi to thbcat. so next time you take a hike, think about these shadow cats and look around

pat bradley lives across the street from the new construcnd stepping out of the bed and into a foot or two of water. >> reporter: houston mayor sylvester turner says those fears are unwarranted. how do they rebuild in that area safely? >> you have stumps all over the country. >> reporter: you're not mayor all over the country. >> i understand that. but what you do do, because you still want people to live in your city, you want people to come to your city, you want the city to continue to develop, is that you engage in mitigation efforts that will mitigate the risk of flooding. >> reporter: architect brett designs homes in flood prone areas and says new houses should be built higher off the ground. architecturally what does this do? >> it allows water to move through without damaging the structure of the house. and once the water moves through the underside of the house after floods, it dries out. >> reporter: a year after harvey and work crews are still fixing roads and sidewalks and drainage

and still repairing homes. keep in mind, this neighborhood had more than 2 feet of water. we're talking in some places, water up to my hips. and that causes significant damage. the people who live in this house, they're just moving back into their home. but meanwhile, their neighbors over here, their house has been demolished and those people do not plan oncoming back. but this home was built 4 feet above the street level and it did not suffer any significant flood damage. houston's city leaders hope that by requiring newer homes to be higher off the ground, it will lead to a lower chance of residential flooding in the bayou city. omar vhave i villafranca, cbs news, houston. >> that's the overnight us in for tuesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning.
