this was a sponsored presentation >> do you think the shutdown was a mistake? >> i never think it's a mistake -- >> why? >> -- to stand up for what you

believe in. i think what the american people admire most about this president is he says what he means and he means what he says. in a very real sense. he said that there is a crisis at our southern border. he said he was determined to get the funding, to build a wall and secure our border, and he was willing to take a stand to accomplish that. >> can you guarantee there will not be another government shutdown? >> well, i think our hope is that there's not, but i can't make that guarantee, jeff. the president's made it clear he's laid out a plan to secure our border, to build a steel barrier in the ten most important areas that our homeland security says that we need it. all of that is exactly what the american people wants us to do. the congress should come together and deliver that. >> one line that made news last night in the state of the union was when the president said, quote, if there's going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. isn't oversight part of the

legislature' job? i mean, you served in the house for more than a decade. >> i did. i did. well, look, a congressional oversight is part of the checks and balances of our system, but -- >> but isn't he saying that can't happen, though? >> well, what the president referred to last night was partisan investigations. and you know, you've spoken about the president, you know his feelings about investigations on capitol hill. we don't object to oversight. that's the proper role of committees in the congress, but when it takes on a partisan tint, when it -- when it seems more intent on becoming a forum of invective against the president and against the administration, the american people expect better. >> vice president with us here earlier today. venezuela's military today used trucks to block humanitarian aid from entering that country. this is what it looked like. that was on the orders of president nicolas maduro who insists there's no emergency despirit severe shortages of food. the u.s. wants maduro out.

elizabeth palmer in caracas, the capital, reports military leaders support maduro, the people, maybe not. >> what we need is for maduro to leave. >> reporter: without the armed forces, president nicolas maduro is finished. so state tv broadcasts pictures almost daily showing apparently loyal troops with their commander in chief. but in reality, vast numbers of them on a salary of about $6 a month have had enough. >> why are they ready to desert the president? >> because they are tired. we are suffering just like the people are. my family, for example, my salary isn't even enough to buy food. >> reporter: is this something you can talk about among yourselves in the barracks or is it too dangerous? >> translator: if we trust the people, we talk about what's going on in the country, but the

higher ranks don't know what we're talking about. that is why i'm doing the interview like this, to protect myself. >> reporter: to convince soldiers and their brass to defect to the opposition, juan guaido widely recognized as interim president has offered them amnesty, but the rank and file need more than that. >> what will it take to get you to change sides? >> translator: in the national guard, all we need is a high-ranking general to rebel, to lead the way. >> reporter: the next big test for the army will be in the coming days when large quantities of humanitarian aid, much of it sent by the united states, reach venezuela's border. president maduro has ordered the military not to let it in and everybody is watching to see whether or not they obey. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, caracas, venezuela. coming up, new information about jayme closs and the man accused of holding her for months.

we end here tonight with a daughter's love. she just wanted to spread the word about her dad's birthday, never expecting what would happen next. here's carter evans. >> reporter: for sue morse, picking up the male has become a labor of love. her dad duane sherman recently had a big birthday coming up,

but as a member of the greatest generation with few shipmates still alive, she knew the mailbox would be empty. >> so i put on my facebook, my dad's turning 96, he's a world war ii purple heart vet and i'd like to get some birthday cards to make him feel special. >> did she ever. >> first day it was about 150 letters and i thought that was really cool. the next day they said could you pull around back? >> reporter: 100,000 birthday cards now fill up the rooms of her house and a friend's home. since duane is now legally blind, sue and her card squad have vowed to read every one of them. >> my farther served in world war ii and was captured in the battle of the bulge. >> reporter: letters from veterans and messages of gratitude. >> moves me to no end. >> i know. me too. >> reporter: but one birthday message stood out. it was from a shipmate on the "uss lamson." the last time they saw each other was in 1944 when their

ship was under a kamikaze attack. >> the captain said abandon ship and we all ran over to the port side and leaped over the side. >> did anyone die that day? >> 27 or 28. >> reporter: 96-year-old bob apple was that shipmate. >> good to see you. >> oh, boy, i like that cap. >> reporter: when they reunited for the first time in 74 years, he gave duane a painting of the "uss lamson" in flames. >> i said we should have a nice card with that, maybe a nice little birthday card. >> he doesn't need any more of those. >> he doesn't need them. >> reporter: sue estimates it will take the rest of the year just to get through all the messages of love and support. >> that's nice. >> what's it like to know that so many people care about your dad in that way? >> he truly is part of america's greatest generation. they saved the world. >> reporter: and clearly the world has not forgotten. carter evans, cbs news, rancho mirage, california. >> that is the "overnight news" for this thursday. for some of you, the news

continues. for others, check back later for "the morning news" and "cbs this morning." from washington, d.c., i'm jeff glor. this is the "cbs overnight news." hi everyone and welcome to the "overnight news." i'm demarco morgan. the blackface scandal that has engulfed virginia politics is now exploding across the state democrat. another top democrat attorney general mark herring now admits he put on brownface makeup and a wig during a college party. his boss democratic governor ralph northam's political life continues to hang by a thread over a blackface photo. there are new details about the sexual assault allegations against lieutenant governor justin fairfax.

ed o'keefe has the story. >> reporter: attorney general mark herring admitting that he also once dressed in blackface. as an undergraduate in 1980 he said in a statement he and friends went to a party as rappers. we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup. he added, i have a glaring example from my past that i have thought about with deep regret in the many years since. when word reached the statehouse, there were audible gasps and expletives from staffers. some lawmakers hung their heads in disbelief. this from the head of the virginia legislative black caucus, lamar bagby. >> like i said, we're not praying enough. >> reporter: the scandal rocketed all the way up to washington. >> i'm shocked and incredibly disappointed. this has been an awful week for virginia. >> reporter: today's bombshell comes just days after herring called for governor ralph northam to resign over a racist photo, including a man in blackface, that was discovered on his medical yearbook page.

>> i'm not either people in that photo. >> reporter: after that news conference herring had said it is no longer possible for the governor to lead virginia. northam remains out of sight as he contemplates his political future. he's meeting with black leaders and may hire a private investigator to prove it's not him in the photo. then there's lieutenant governor justin fairfax who is facing an allegation of sexual assault during the democratic national convention in 2004. today his accuser, vanessa tyson, put out a lengthy statement saying she's a democrat and is sharing her story with tremendous anguish. she said she had gone to fairfax's hotel room to receive documents and that after consensual kissing, mr. fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him. fairfax has repeatedly denied the allegation and responded today saying, reading dr. tyson's account is painful. i have never done anything like what she suggests. as a if northam steps down, fairfax

would take over, then herring, next in line, republican speaker cox. in a twist worthy of the movies, that race ended in a tie. >> david yancey. >> reporter: and was decided when the name of the republican winner was pulled out of a ceramic bowl. >> reporter: democrats across the state are especially concerned that this could spoil their chances of retaking control the state legislature later this year. kirk cox issued a statement urging virginians to keep calm, alluding to the commonwealth's 400th anniversary this year. he said in part, we have weathered the storm of four centuries and will weather this one. president trump told a gathering in washington that the islamic state in syria will be 100% contained by next week. u.s.-led forces are closing the noose around the last stronghold and charlie d'agata is on the front lines. >> reporter: we weren't expecting a u.s.-led coalition

air strike to land so close to us. >> another one. >> reporter: or what came next. >> behind the wall. behind the wall. >> reporter: that whirring noise feared to be the sound of an incoming isis mortar that flew right over our heads, sending everyone scrambling and taking cover. soldiers told us we had no choice but to run into the open single file to reach a safer place. u.s. forces and allies have now reduced isis territory to the point where everything has become close combat. even getting to the front line this morning meant a dash through the desert at breakneck speed, quickly covering ground where isis could mount sneak attacks. >> we've been taken to a rooftop position about as far as we can go where we can see about what's left of isis. >> reporter: we weren't there long before twin air strikes pounded positions right in front of us. in the distance, we witnessed the isis dream of a caliphate in its dying days.

>> after all the fighting and lives lost, this is what it comes down to, a terror group that once held territory about the size of indiana has been reduced to that, an area of just a couple square miles. commander khaled baran told us the final fight against isis has slowed to a grind because the terror group is holding those civilians as human shields. it's a fight that's already been costly enough. as we pass through recently liberated villages, we saw people who had begun returning home only to find there's not much left of home at all. charlie d'agata, cbs news, fawqani, eastern syria. vice president mike pence defended president trump for shutting down the government over demand for money for his border wall. pence says another shutdown could be right around the corner. jeff glor spoke with the vice president. >> there was no mention last night of the government workers who missed paychecks during the

shutdown. why not acknowledge their sacrifices? >> i think the president wanted to say in a very real sense we have great challenges as a country, but we can come together to solve those challenges, but it will take a renewed spirit of unity to accomplish that. focussing not so much on the past, not so much on the divisions of the past but focussing on the opportunities we have to work together in the future. >> but some of those workers really suffered. why not take a moment to thank them and acknowledge what did happen, 35 days? >> well, as the government shutdown came to an end, the president did just that. you know, i've spent some time just over the last few days with members of the coast guard who went without pay for a period of time, and we appreciate all those federal workers and their families that made sacrifices through that. >> do you think the shutdown was a mistake? >> i never think it's a mistake -- >> why? >> -- to stand up for what you believe in. i think what the american people admire most about this president

is he says what he means and he means what he says. in a very real sense. he said there's a crisis at our southern border. he said he was determined to get the funding, to build a wall and secure our border, and he was willing to take a stand to accomplish that. >> can you guarantee there will not be another government shutdown? >> well, i think our hope is that there's not, but i can't make that guarantee, jeff. >> one line that made news last night in the state of the union was when the president said, quote, if there's going to be peace in legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. isn't oversight part of the legislature's job? i mean, you served in the house for more than a decade. >> i did. i did. well, look, a congressional oversight is part of the checks and balances of our system, but -- >> but isn't he saying that can't happen, though? >> well, what the president referred to last night was partisan investigations. and you know, you've spoken about the president, you know his feelings about investigations on capitol hill.

we don't object to oversight. that's the proper role of committees in the congress, but when it takes on a partisan tint, when it -- when it seems more intent on becoming a for think only specialty stores have what's new?

this is the "cbs overnight news." in his state of the union address, president trump said he plans to lower the price of prescription drugs. tony dokoupil reports on the difficulties doing that and the great distance one family is forced to travel for medicine. >> americans spend more on prescription drugs than people pay in any other developed nation, an average of some $1,200 a year. for some the cost is so high they're forced to take extraordinary measures. how extraordinary? we talked to one father who in order to save tens of thousands

of dollars on his son's medication travels to canada four times a year. >> so right now i'm paying $15,000 for this medicine which costs the united states $53,000 a year. which i feel is at best criminal. >> reporter: jon yeagley says his 21-year-old son has a condition where he started losing his hair around the seventh grade. only one treatment worked but insurance wasn't covered by yeagley's health insurance, so every six months he drives 6 1/2 hours to canada to buy the medicine. >> there's no reason why an american should pay three times what somebody in canada or europe or mexico has to pay. >> reporter: that sentiment was echoed by president trump, who promised to slash the cost of prescription drugs. >> i am asking congress to pass legislation that finally takes on the problem of global freeloading and delivers fairness and price transparency for american patients. finally. >> reporter: last week the administration proposed a rule

to lower prescription drug prices by encouraging manufacturers to pass discounts directly on to patients instead of giving those rebates to middle men known as pharmacy benefit managers or pbms. it says this historic action moves towards a new system that puts american patients first while bringing new transparency to prescription drug markets. but the pbms oppose the administration's plan, saying it will undercut their ability to bargain with drug makers for lower priced. acquired last year by cigna is one of the nation's largest pbms. >> we get accused of being the middle men, but the reality is the most sophisticated employers and health plans employ us to drive care at a better cost. in the absence of pbms, patients and planned sponsors would be spending literally billions and billions more on an annual basis. >> reporter: the proposal by the

administration would have to be passed by congress. but even if it passes, consumer advocates recommend you shop around for prescription drugs, the way you would for any product. >> prices vary a lot. the same medication could be $8 at one pharmacy and $358 down the street. you just don't know until you ask. >> reporter: for jon yeagley, reform can't come soon enough and to my son, the medicine is priceless. it's given him an entirely new

if you've seen the animated film "madagascar" you know that's the island off the coast of africa. it's filled with lemurs. turns out madagascar is the only place on the earth where lemurs live in the wild and their habitat is under assault. deborah pet to paid them a visit. >> reporter: we finally spotted one of the rarest animals in the world. a lemur, one of only 2,000 left. anthropologist pat wright from new york's stoney brook you've told us that lemurs share many of the same genes as humans. she's turned the national park into a science lab and has been

studying lemurs for 30 years. >> it's kind of ironic that an animal that is on the verge of extinction could hold the key to so many life-threatening diseases. >> that's really true. it's like burning a library. >> reporter: there are over 100 different species, including the mouse lemur, our smallest cousin. >> the mouse lemurs, why do they hold such importance for us? >> because they get some of the same diseases that we get. >> reporter: alzheimer's is the top of wright's list. her team has imbedded computer chips in hundreds of lemurs so they can monitor the development of alzheimer's for an average of 20 years. she's built a genetic data bank from her research and her hope is it will lead to new drugs one day, but it is a race against time. lemurs cannot survive without forest and 95% of the lemurs' natural habitat outside this park is gone. researchers bait traps to lure the mouse lemurs inside.

each one is weighed and measured. they're looking for early signs of disease or weight loss. once the tests are over, the lirims are released unharmed back into the wild. but now they are facing a new threat. madagascar has been hard hit by extreme changes in weather, strong cyclones, severe drought then torrential rain. this year wright told us the fruit trees that are the lemurs main fruit source did not flower. >> that's just never happened before. for the lemurs it's devastating because it means they can't get fat enough to actually produce offspring, and they probably won't starve, but they certainly are going to go hungry. >> reporter: wright is fearful the devastating changes to the island spell the end of her lemurs. >> madagascar itself is like the canary in the coal mine. this island is very vulnerable. so climate change makes a bigger impact here. >> that's the "overnight news"
