reduce t lower the o virus insystswo years ago, norah, what a difference two years make news that we have these antivirals and the do wa that drug, the paxlovid, because there have been these rebound cases. even dr. fauci had a rebound case. how will this impact the president's recovery? >> we are seeing in a relatively small percentage of people, we don't know exactly how many, probably less than 10%, this rebound. two to eight days after somebody finishes a course of covid, they can test positive again and get symptoms. the symptoms are generally mild, lasting three to six days. the president certainly is taking some cardiac medication, including a blood thinner because of his chronic atrial fibrillation. the doctors decided to hold the blood thinner right now while he is holding the paxlovid, because paxlovid can increase the level of the blood thinner. i'm sure he is going to be followed very closely in the days to come. days to come. >> lots of good

compliance, but this is now effectively a riot. >> declaring it a riot. >> hold the line, hold the line! >> what did president trump do at 1:49 as the d.c. police at the same time were declaring a riot at the capitol? as you can see on the screen, he tweeted out a link to the recording of his ellipse speech. this was the same speech in which he knowingly sent an armed mob to the capitol. but president trump made no comment about the lawlessness and the violence. i yield to the gentleman from illinois. >> the next action president trump took was to tweet at 2:24 p.m. what happened during the 35 minutes between his last tweet at 1:49 and 2:24? his staff repeatedly came into the room to see him and plead

that he make a strong public statement condemning the violence and instructing the mob to leave the capitol. he did not relent until after 4:00 when he went out to go to the rose garden to film his now infamous go home message. pat cipollone was a top white house lawyer. here's what he told us about his reaction to seeing the violence and his advice throughout the afternoon. >> when did you first realize that there was actually violence? >> i first realized it may have been on television or it may have been tony or may have been bill. but i found out that people were -- they weren't in the capitol yet, but they were, you know. and i started watching it. then i was aware. >> what specifically did you think needed to be done?

>> i think i was pretty clear there need to be an immediate and forceful response statement, public statement that people need to leave the capitol now. >> my question is exactly that. you from the very onset violence at capitol around 2:00 were pushing for a strong statement that people should leave the capitol, is that right? >> i was. and others were as well. >> pat, you said others expressed your opinion forcefully. could you tell us exactly how you did that? >> i'm going to have -- i have to -- on the privilege issue, i can't talk about conversations with the president, but i can generically say that i said people need to be told, there needs to be a public announcement fast that they need to leave the capitol. >> and pat, could you let us know approximately when you said that. >> approximately when? almost immediately after i found

out people were getting into the capitol or approaching the capitol in a way that was violent. >> do you remember any discussions to mark meadows with respect to his view that the president didn't want to do anything or was some kind of resistant to wanting to say something along the lines that you suggest? >> just to be clear, many people suggested it, not just me. many people felt the same way. i'm sure i had conversations with mark about this during the course of the day and expressed my opinion very forcefully that this needs to be done. >> so your advice was tell people to leave the capitol. and it took over two hours when there were subsequent tweets put forward in your view railroad were insufficient.

did you continue, mr. cipollone, throughout the period of time up until the period of time to continue to push for a stronger statement? >> were you joined in that effort by ivanka trump? >> yes. >> eric herschmann? >> yes. >> mark meadows? >> yes. >> the white house wanted there to be a strong statement out to condemn the rioters. i'm confident in that. i'm confident that ivanka trump wanted there to be a strong statement to condemn the rioters. i don't know the private conversation she had with mr. trump, but i remember when she came to the office one time with white house counsel's office, when she came to the chief of staff's white house with white house counsel's office, she was talking about the speech later that day and trying to get her dad on board with saying something that was more direct than he had wanted to at the time and throughout the afternoon. >> i think mark also wanted -- i remember him getting ivanka involved, because get ivanka

down here because he felt that would be important. i don't think jared was there in the morning, but i think he came later. i remember thinking it's important to get him in there too. and of course pat philbin was expressing the same things. pat philbin was very, as i said -- i don't think there was one of these meetings -- there might have been. but for the most part, i remember the both of us going down together, holding back, getting on phone calls. he was also very clearly expressing this view. >> pat cipollone and cassidy hutchinson, an aide to chief of staff mark meadows also told us about the "hang mike pence" chants. as you will see, mr. cipollone recalled conversations about those chants in the west wing, but he relied on executive privilege to maintain confidentiality over his and others' direct communications with the president.

although mr. cipollone was unwilling to provide more detail, ms. hutchinson provided more explicit information filling in those blanks. see that for yourself. >> it wasn't until mark hung up the phone, handed it back to me. i went back to my desk. a couple minutes later, him and pat came back, possibly eric herschmann too. i'm pretty sure eric herschmann was there. i'm confident it was pat that was there. i remember pat saying something to the effect of mark, we need to do something more. they're literally calling for the vice president to be f'ing hung. and mark had responded something to the effect of you heard him, pat. he thinks mike deserves it. he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong. to which pat said something this is f'ing crazy. we need to be doing something more. briefly stepped into mark's office.

>> declaring it a riot. >> hold the line, hold the line! >> what did president trump do at 1:49 as the d.c. police at the same time were declaring a riot at the capitol? as you can see on the screen, he tweeted out a link to the recording of his ellipse speech. this was the same speech in which he knowingly sent an armed mob to the capitol. but president trump made no comment about the lawlessness and the violence. i yield to the gentleman from illinois. >> the next action president trump took was to tweet at 2:24 p.m. what happened during the 35 minutes between his last tweet at 1:49 and 2:24? his staff repeatedly came into the room to see him and plead that he make a strong public

statement condemning the violence and instructing the mob to leave the capitol. he did not relent until after 4:00 when he went out to go to the rose garden to film his now infamous go home message. pat cipollone was a top white house lawyer. here's what he told us about his reaction to seeing the violence and his advice throughout the afternoon. >> when did you first realize that there was actually violence? >> i first realized it may have been on television or it may have been tony or may have been bill. but i found out that people were -- they weren't in the capitol yet, but they were, you know. and i started watching it. then i was aware. >> what specifically did you think? >> i think i was pretty clear there need to be an immediate

and forceful response statement, public statement that people need to leave the capitol now. >> my question is exactly that. it sounds like you from the very onset of violence at the capitol right around 2:00 were pushing for a strong statement that people should leave the capitol, is that right? >> i was. and others were as well. >> okay. >> pat, you said you expressed your opinion forcefully. could you tell us exactly how you did that? >> yeah, i can't -- i don't have -- i have to -- on the privilege issue, i can't talk about conversations with the president, but i can generically say that i said people need to be told, there needs to be a public announcement fast that they need to leave the capitol. >> and pat, could you let us know approximately when you said that. >> approximately when? almost immediately after i found out people were getting into the

capitol or approaching the capitol in a way that was violent. >> do you remember any discussions with mark meadows with respect to his view that the president didn't want to do anything or was some kind of resistant wanting to say something along the lines you suggest? >> just to be clear, many people suggested it, not just me. many people felt the same way. i'm sure i had conversations with mark about this during the course of the day and expressed my opinion very forcefully that this needs to be done. >> so your advice was tell people to leave the capitol. and it took over two hours when there were subsequent tweets put forward that in your view were

insufficient. did you continue, mr. cipollone, up until the period of time continue to push for a stronger statement? >> yes. >> were you joined in that effort by ivanka trump? >> yes. eric herschmann? >> yes. >> mark meadows? >> yes. >> the white house wanted there to be a strong statement out to condemn the rioters. i'm confident in that. i'm confident that ivanka trump wanted there to be a strong statement to condemn the rioters. i don't know the private conversation she had with mr. trump, but i remember when she came to the office one time with white house counsel's office, when she came to the chief of staff's white house with white house counsel's office, she was talking about the speech later that day and trying to get her dad on board with saying something that was more direct than he had wanted to at the time and throughout the afternoon. >> i think mark also wanted -- i remember him getting ivanka

involved, because get ivanka down here because he felt that would be. important. i don't think jared was there in the morning, but i think he came later. i remember thinking it's important to get him in there too. and of course pat philbin was expressing the same things. pat philbin was very, as i said -- i don't think there was one of these meetings -- there might have been. but for the most part, i remember the both of us going down together, going back, getting on phone calls. he was also very clearly expressing this view. >> pat cipollone and cassidy hutchinson, an aide to chief of staff mark meadows also told us about the "hang mike pence" chants. as you will see, mr. cipollone recalled conversations about those chants in the west wing, but he relied on executive privilege to maintain confidentiality over his and others' direct communications with the president. although mr. cipollone was

unwilling to provide more detail, ms. hutchinson provided more explicit information filling in those blanks. see that for yourself. >> it wasn't until mark hung up the phone, handed it back to me. i went back to my desk. a couple minutes later, him and pat came back, possibly eric herschmann too. i'm pretty sure eric herschmann was there. i'm confident it was pat that was there. i remember pat saying something to the effect of mark, we need to do something more. they're literally calling for the vice president to be f'ing hung. and mark had responded something to the effect of you heard him, pat. he thinks mike deserves it. he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong. to which pat said something this is f'ing crazy. we need to be doing something more.

briefly stepped into mark's office. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> tonight, president biden has now joined many of us who have tested positive for covid-19 and is now forced to work from home. of course, that home is the white house and is equipped by a full medical staff and team. the president tweeted out a photo and video since his diagnosis. he just returned from the middle east and was in massachusetts on wednesday where he came into contact with several members of congress. the first lady and vice president, kamala harris, are also considered close contacts. as of now, neither of them has tested positive. more than two years into the pandemic, cases are once again on the rise. health officials are blaming the ba.5 omicron subvariant. new cases are up more than 27%

in the last month alone. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, including how the president is being treated. and cbs' nancy cordes will start us off from the white house. it's been a busy day there, good evening. >> good evening. it sure has, norah. white house protocols helped to protect the president from contracting covid for more than two years. but now he has joined the estimated 200 million americans who have been infected with this virus. >> hey, folks, i guess you heard. this morning i tested positive for covid. >> reporter: speaking from a white house balcony, a slightly congested president biden said he's feeling well enough to keep working in isolation. >> thanks for your concern, and keep the faith. it's going to be okay. >> reporter: in a letter, white house dr. kevin o'connor said mr. biden tested positive for covid during a routine screening this morning and has developed mild symptoms, including a runny nose, fatigue, and an occasional dry cough. the president was promptly

prescribed a five-day course of paxlovid, an antiviral drug that dramatically reduces the risk of severe covid. visiting schools in detroit, the first lady immediately slipped on a mask. >> he is doing fine. he is feeling good. i tested negative this morning. >> reporter: contact tracing has begun. the president spent time yesterday with three senators and the governor of rhode island. on tuesday, he welcomed ukraine's first lady to the white house. >> we always said that this was a possibility. >> reporter: dr. ashish jha is the white house covid coordinator and spoke to the president this morning. >> he hadn't even been able to finish his breakfast because he had been busy. i encouraged him to finish his breakfast. the good news is his immune system is very well protected given the four vaccine shots he's gotten. >> reporter: tests will confirm whether the 79-year-old president was infected by the highly contagious ba.5 subvariant, which is now responsible for nearly 80% of all u.s. cases.

the number of daily cases has nearly tripled in the past three months, and hospitalizations are up 20% just in the past two weeks. dr. jha says president biden does not have a fever and that his oxygen levels are normal. for now the president will continue to hold meetings via phone and by zoom in the white house residence until he tests negative, while the first lady is going to be staying at their residence in delaware. norah? >> nancy cordes, thank you very much. well, let's turn now to cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook for more on the president's diagnosis. so, john, we've heard the president's got these mild symptoms, but he is 79 years old. how much of a concern is that? >> well, of course there is concern. but he should have significant protection from serious illness by the fact that he is double boosted. that's what we're seeing with the cold symptoms that are very mild. on top of that he is getting paxlovid which should further reduce the risk by lowering the amount of virus in his system.

compare this with two years ago, norah, what a difference two years make news that we have these antivirals and the vaccines. >> i do want to ask you about that drug, the paxlovid, because there have been these rebound cases. even dr. fauci had a rebound case. how will this impact the president's recovery? >> we are seeing in a relatively small percentage of people, we don't know exactly how many, probably less than 10%, this rebound. two to eight days after somebody finishes a course of covid, they can test positive again and get symptoms. the symptoms are generally mild, lasting three to six days. the president certainly is taking some cardiac medication, including a blood thinner because of his chronic atrial fibrillation. the doctors decided to hold the blood thinner right now while he is holding the paxlovid, because paxlovid can increase the level of the blood thinner. i'm sure he is going to be followed very closely in the days to come. >> lots of good information. dr. jon lapook, thank you so much. the "cbs overnight news" will be your projects done right

last month's unprecedented flooding of yellowstone national park caused so much damage that it will likely take years to repair. in fact, the park says the repairs will be the largest construction project in its 150-year history. in tonight's "eye on america," cbs' jonathan vigliotti got an exclusive look at the

devastation of one of america's national treasures. >> reporter: unfolding tonight inside america's oldest national park, an urgent push to repair catastrophic damage caused by last month's historic flood, fueled, scientists say, by rising temperatures. cbs news was given exclusive access to yellowstone's northern entrance, where the nearly 150-year-old highway 89 now looks like this. >> this is one of four sections that was severely damaged by the flood event. >> reporter: park superintendent cam sholly says repairs the two-mile highway could now take up to five years, and by some estimates, cost as much as $1 billion with help from the army corps of engineers. >> ideally, i'd like to see this canyon restored ultimately. >> reporter: but rebuilding the road may not even make sense. there is now concern that erosion in the area is so bad, parts of the canyon wall could collapse. the national parks service says most of their properties and

surrounding towns are now impacted by climate change, from rising sea levels in florida's everglades, to drought-fueled fires in california's yosemite. business in yellowstone's northern gateway communities has plummeted. >> everybody has been incredibly resilient and pushing through and trying to figure out how do we -- how do we keep going. >> reporter: the park is now adapting to the loss of a major access road. >> we're driving on what used to be a very narrow bike trail. crews are now turning about five miles of it into a temporary two-lane road. >> reporter: yellowstone's temporary mountaintop road will open to tourists by november. rangers say it may even replace the historic canyon highway. is it possible that people will no longer be able to drive down this road again? >> very possible. there is no question climate change is occurring. we've got a long way to go to figure out what steps are necessary to ensure that we're adapting properly.
