2/8: CBS Evening News

BIG TRADERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO UNWIND A BET THAT MARKETS WOULD REMAIN CALM. UNTIL THIS RECENT SELLING STARTED, BIG- MARKET SWINGS HAD BEEN RARE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. IN NOVEMBER, THE VIX, WHICH MEASURES ANTICIPATED UPS AND DOWNS IN THE S & P 500, HAD FALLEN TO ALL- TIME LOWS. MANY OF THE BEST- PERFORMING STOCKS OVER THE LAST YEAR HAVE STRUGGLED RECENTLY, INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, BANKS, AND HEALTH CARE. >> Glor: AND JILL JOINS US NOW. SO, VOLATILITY IS THE WORD THEY USE HERE. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK ALL OF THIS CONTINUES FOR? >> YOU KNOW, IT'S TOTALLY UNKNOWABLE. IT COULD BE DAYS, IT COULD BE WEEKS, IT COULD BE MONTHS. BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO STRESS IS, BUCKLE UP. IT'S GOING TO BE BUMPY. >> Glor: PEOPLE ALWAYS MAKE THE POINT, THE ECONOMY IS NOT THE MARKET, AND THE MARKET IS NOT THE ECONOMY. THAT SAID, DOES WHAT'S HAPPENING THEN HAVE SOME SORT OF AN IMPACT ON WHAT'S HAPPENING ECONOMICALLY? BECAUSE, OTHERWISE, IT LOOKS POSITIVE. >> RIGHT, AND WE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE. BUT I WOULD POINT OUT THAT IF THE SELLING CONTINUES, IF NOT JUST A CORRECTION, WE GET TO A BEAR MARKET, THAT COULD ERODE CONFIDENCE, BOTH ON THE CONSUMER LEVEL-- PERHAPS, MORE IMPORTANTLY, WITH COMPANIES. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE SEE COMPANIES KIND OF STAND UP TO THIS. IF THEY DO, WE'LL BE OKAY. BUT THE REALITY IS, WITHOUT THAT CONFIDENCE, THEY WON'T HIRE, THEY WON'T SPEND MONEY, AND WE NEED THEM TO DO THAT. WE NEED CONSUMERS TO DO THAT AS WELL. >> Glor: ALL RIGHT, JILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THERE IS MORE SHUTDOWN DRAMA ON CAPITOL HILL TONIGHT. REPUBLICAN SENATOR RAND PAUL OF KENTUCKY DELAYED A VOTE ON A BILL TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT AS A MIDNIGHT DEADLINE APPROACHED. THE LATEST ON THIS FROM CHIEF CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT NANCY CORDES. >> I MEAN, WHAT, ARE WE NOT GOING TO REBUILD HOUSTON? WE'RE NOT GOING TO REBUILD FLORIDA? >> Reporter: WITH TIME RUNNING OUT, HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN IS MAKING THE CASE TO HIS OWN CONSERVATIVES ON A BIPARTISAN DEAL THAT CONTAINS $ 90 BILLION IN DISASTER RELIEF AND A BIG BOOST TO DEFENSE FUNDING. >> HOW DO YOU GO TO A MILITARY INSTALLATION IF YOU VOTE NO? >> Reporter: BUT FISCAL HAWKS IN THE HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS ARE BALKING AT THE DEAL'S NEW DOMESTIC SPENDING, WHICH THEY SAY ADDS TO THE SWAMP INSTEAD OF DRAINING IT. >> EVEN DRUNK SAILORS NEVER SPENT MONEY THIS RECKLESSLY. >> Reporter: THE G. O. P. DEFECTIONS ARE FORCING REPUBLICAN LEADERS TO COURT DEMOCRATIC VOTES, BUT THERE, TOO, THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. >> GIVE US A CHANCE TO HAVE IT VOTE ON THE FLOOR. >> Reporter: DEMOCRATIC LEADER NANCY PELOSI COMMANDEERED THE HOUSE FLOOR FOR A RECORD- BREAKING EIGHT HOURS YESTERDAY, REFUSING TO VOTE YES WITHOUT A PROMISE FROM THE SPEAKER ON MODERATE LEGISLATION TO PROTECT THE SO- CALLED DREAMERS. \( APPLAUSE ) >> NANCY! NANCY! >> Reporter: BUT RYAN WILL ONLY COMMIT TO IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION THAT IS BACKED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE PRESIDENT IS KNOWN TO CHANGE HIS MIND FROM TIME TO TIME. SO WHY NOT ALLOW A VOTE ON A BIPARTISAN PLAN, AND THEN SEE IF HE'LL SUPPORT IT? >> LOOK, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I DON'T WANT TO JUST RISK A VETO. I WANT TO ACTUALLY GET IT DONE THE FIRST TIME. AND I THINK WE CAN GET THERE. >> Reporter: KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN RAND PAUL IS HOLDING UP THE SENATE VOTE TONIGHT TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT WHAT HE SEES AS WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING. THAT MEANS IT IS LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL TECHNICALLY SHUT DOWN FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS OVERNIGHT UNTIL THE SENATE CAN APPROVE THE SPENDING BILL AND SEND IT OVER TO THE HOUSE TO DO THE SAME. >> Glor: NANCY CORDES ON CAPITOL HILL. NANCY, THANK YOU. STAFF SECRETARY ROB PORTER WAS BACK AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY, BUT JUST TO COLLECT HIS BELONGINGS. THE MAN WHO MANAGES THE FLOW OF IMPORTANT PAPERS TO AND FROM THE PRESIDENT RESIGNED YESTERDAY AFTER TWO FORMER WIVES ACCUSED HIM OF ABUSE. NOW THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DID OTHERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE KNOW ABOUT PORTER'S PAST, AND WHEN? HERE'S MAJOR GARRETT. >> ROB PORTER HAS REPEATEDLY DENIED THESE ALLEGATIONS, AND DONE SO PUBLICLY. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE HOW SERIOUS AND DISTURBING THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE. >> Reporter: WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY RAJ SHAH TOLD REPORTERS THAT CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN KELLY ONLY BECAME " FULLY AWARE" YESTERDAY OF STAFF SECRETARY ROB PORTER'S ALLEGED HISTORY OF ABUSING TWO EX- WIVES. >> I DID TALK TO THE PRESIDENT EARLIER TODAY. HE TOLD ME HE WAS VERY SADDENED BY THESE REPORTS AND BY THE INFORMATION THAT HE SAW. >> Reporter: BUT SOURCES TELL CBS NEWS, THE F. B. I. INFORMED WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS IN NOVEMBER ABOUT THE DOMESTIC ABUSE ALLEGATIONS. PORTER'S FIRST WIFE ACCUSED HIM OF KICKING AND PUNCHING HER, CAUSING THIS BLACK EYE. HIS SECOND WIFE SAID PORTER GRABBED HER FROM A SHOWER. BOTH ALLEGED VERBAL ABUSE. LOUISIANA REPUBLICAN SENATOR JOHN >> YOU CANNOT BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOUR SPOUSE. IT IS ILLEGAL, AND IT IS IMMORAL. >> Reporter: THOSE ALLEGATIONS DID NOT AFFECT PORTER'S STANDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IN FACT, HIS PORTFOLIO EXPANDED. PORTER HELPED DRAFT THE PRESIDENT'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS LAST MONTH, AND HAD RECENTLY BEGUN WORK ON TRADE POLICY. KELLY INITIALLY PRAISED PORTER AS " A MAN OF TRUE INTEGRITY AND HONOR ." HE AMENDED THAT STATEMENT LATE YESTERDAY, SAYING HE WAS " SHOCKED BY THE NEW ALLEGATIONS ," BUT STANDING BY HIS ORIGINAL COMMENTS. >> WE ALL COULD HAVE DONE BETTER OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS, THE LAST FEW DAYS, IN DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION. >> Reporter: PORTER HAS BEEN DATING WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR HOPE HICKS, WHO HELPED DRAFT KELLY'S INITIAL STATEMENT, AND OTHERS LIKE IT, DEFENDING PORTER. PORTER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR VETTING ALL WRITTEN MATERIAL, MUCH OF IT CLASSIFIED, GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT. HE WAS WORKING WITHOUT A PERMANENT SECURITY CLEARANCE, STALLED BECAUSE THE F. B. I. FLAGGED THE ABUSE ACCUSATIONS. SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHM. >> THE FACT THAT THIS MAN OPERATED FOR A YEAR WITHOUT A SECURITY CLEARANCE, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT AND STILL DON'T. >> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE WILL NOT DEFINE WHAT " FULLY AWARE" MEANS REGARDING CHIEF OF STAFF KELLY. SOURCES FAMILIAR WITH THE CLEARANCE PROCESS TELL US THAT THE F. B. I. REPORT ON PORTER WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE DETAILED THAN THE NEWS STORY THAT BROKE THIS WEEK SETTING THE SCANDAL IN MOTION, WHICH MEANS KELLY COULD HAVE KNOWN MORE, AND HE COULD HAVE KNOWN MORE MUCH SOONER. JEFF. >> Glor: MAJOR GARRETT AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THANK YOU. THE FLU IS WIDESPREAD IN EVERY STATE BUT HAWAII AND OREGON. WE HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTING PLACES WHERE THE VIRUS IS HITTING HARDEST. IN ARKANSAS, 125 PEOPLE HAVE DIED THIS SEASON. THAT IS MORE THAN SIX TIMES THE TOLL LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME. OMAR VILLAFRANCA IS IN LITTLE ROCK. >> CAN WE LIFT UP? >> Reporter: THREE- YEAR- OLD GIBSON HEATH HAS SPENT THE LAST 12 DAYS AT ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FIGHTING THE FLU. BECAUSE OF HIS CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE, HIS PARENTS RUSHED HIM TO THE E. R. AT THE FIRST SIGN OF SYMPTOMS. >> HE SPIKED A FEVER OF 102, AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW TO BRING HIM IN AND GET-- GET TESTED FOR THE FLU. >> Reporter: SICK KIDS LIKE GIBSON HAVE KEPT DR. SHANE McKINNEY AND HIS STAFF IN THE E. R. BUSY. IN DECEMBER, THEY REGULARLY SEE 180 PATIENTS A DAY. BUT THOSE NUMBERS HAVE JUMPED THIS FLU SEASON. >> OUR VOLUME HAS BEEN INCREASING STEADILY. WE SAW 306 PATIENTS THIS PAST MONDAY, WHICH IS A HUGE INCREASE FOR US. >> Reporter: WITH THE FLU HITTING THE COUNTRY HARD THIS YEAR, ARKANSAS HAS PAID OUT MORE THAN 8, 000 FLU- RELATED MEDICAID CLAIMS THIS WEEK ALONE. DURING THE SAME WEEK LAST YEAR, ONLY ABOUT 1, 000 FLU- RELATED CLAIMS WERE PAID. AT THIS CLINIC IN LITTLE ROCK, DR. JAY DOUGLAS HOLLAND IS TAKING A DIFFERENT APPROACH IN DEALING WITH THE SPIKE IN FLU CASES. EVEN THOUGH HIS WAITING ROOM IS EMPTY... >> WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? >> Reporter: ... HE STILL TREATS FIVE TO TEN PATIENTS, OVER THE PHONE. >> I GO THROUGH A PRETTY THOROUGH HISTORY ABOUT FEVER, CHILLS, HEADACHE, BODY ACHE AND SORE THROAT. >> COUGH? >> IF SOMEONE HAS ALL OF THOSE, I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN TREATING THEM OVER THE PHONE, AND WE ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THAT. >> I LOVE YOU! >> Reporter: THE HEATHS ALL GOT A FLU SHOT TO AVOID SPREADING THE VIRUS AND TO PROTECT THEIR SON, THEY'RE ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO GET THEIR FLU SHOT. LAST YEAR IN ARKANSAS, NO CHILDREN DIED FROM THE FLU, BUT SO FAR THIS YEAR, THREE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THE VIRUS, WHICH IS WHY DOCTORS ARE STILL URGING PEOPLE TO GET THE FLU SHOT. JEFF. >> Glor: SCARY NUMBERS. OMAR VILLAFRANCA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS AFTER HURRICANE MARIA, FEMA IS STILL PROVIDING FOOD AND WATER TO STORM VICTIMS IN PUERTO RICO. EARLY IN THE CRISIS, THE AGENCY AWARDED A LARGE CONTRACT TO A BUSINESSWOMAN FROM ATLANTA TO SUPPLY MILLIONS OF MEALS. BUT AS DAVID BEGNAUD REPORTS, ONLY A FRACTION WERE DELIVERED. >> I THINK FEMA TOOK A CHANCE BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE LOWEST BID. >> Reporter: TIFFANY BROWN IS THE ONE- WOMAN OPERATOR OF TRIBUTE CONTRACTING IN ATLANTA. SHE GOT A GOOGLE ALERT ABOUT FEMA SEEKING BIDS TO PROVIDE MEALS TO PUERTO RICAN VICTIMS OF HURRICANE MARIA. LAST OCTOBER, BROWN SCORED A $ 156 MILLION CONTRACT TO PROVIDE 30 MILLION MEALS AT A COST OF $ 5. 10 EACH. SHE SUBCONTRACTED THE JOB TO TWO COMPANIES, INCLUDING A CORPORATE CATERER IN ATLANTA WITH 11 EMPLOYEES. DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT 11 PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DO MILLIONS OF MEALS? >> SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS EXPERIENCED WITH THIS WORK, AND THAT AS TIME GOT ON-- AS TIME WENT ON, THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO HIRE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO SCALE UP. >> Reporter: ONLY 50, 000 OF THE 30 MILLION MEALS WERE DELIVERED. FEMA TERMINATED HER CONTRACT DUE TO LATE DELIVERY. >> FEMA SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD. >> Reporter: FEMA PICKED BROWN AFTER VETTING HER, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NO EXPERIENCE WORKING LARGE- SCALE DISASTERS. BROWN HAS HAD FIVE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS TERMINATED FOR NOT DELIVERING REQUIRED FOOD AND HER INABILITY TO SHIP PRODUCTS. >> I'VE HAD CHALLENGES IN THAT AREA, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I'M SO YOUNG AND BEING A WOMAN IN THIS WORLD, IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY WORLD. YOU POUR THE WATER IN IT AND IT HEATS UP. >> Reporter: RIGHT. ONE GOVERNMENT AGENCY PUT OUT A NOTICE SAYING BROWN'S COMPANY COULD NOT WORK FOR THEM AGAIN, BUT THAT DID NOT APPLY TO FEMA. DEMOCRATS, LIKE REPRESENTATIVE STACEY PLASKETT, HAVE CRITICIZED FEMA'S DECISION. >> THE OTHER AGENCIES GO SO FAR AS NOT JUST TO STOP THE CONTRACT BUT TO ISSUE A SYSTEM- WIDE WARNING SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT A COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH. THEN HOW COULD THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO DO A $ 156 MILLION CONTRACT WITH A ONE- PERSON OPERATION? >> MY BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS NOT ASKING FOR MORE HELP. >> Reporter: SO, MISS BROWN'S BEEN PAID ABOUT $ 255, 000, BUT SHE'S APPEALING TO FEMA FOR $ 70 MILLION MORE. NOW, FEMA INSISTS THERE WAS NO DISRUPTION IN THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION CHAIN IN PUERTO RICO BECAUSE OF THIS DEBACLE. AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE THE UNUSED MEALS WENT? WE FOUND THEM IN THIS STORAGE LOCKER IN ATLANTA, 60, 000 MEALS. AND, JEFF, THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. THEY'VE BEEN SITTING HERE SINCE NOVEMBER. >> Glor: WOW. DAVID BEGNAUD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NOW TO SOME OTHER STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING IN THE EVENING NEWSFEED. DRIVING WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TODAY IN SIOUX CITY, IOWA. A FIERCE SNOWSTORM IS BLOWING THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. CHICAGO COULD GET AS MUCH AS 20 INCHES BY SATURDAY. SCHOOLS IN THE CITY WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW. THE DEATH OF U. S. BORDER PATROL AGENT ROGELIO MARTINEZ LAST NOVEMBER REMAINS A MYSTERY. HE WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS WITH BLUNT- FORCE TRAUMA NEAR EL PASO, TEXAS. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID MARTINEZ AND HIS PARTNER WERE ATTACKED. THE F. B. I. SAYS IT HAS FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THAT. THE PARTNER HAS TOLD INVESTIGATORS HE CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED. AND THERE'S MUCH MORE AHEAD ON TONIGHT'S " CBS EVENING NEWS ." >> Reporter: WHEN RESEARCHERS ANALYZED MORE THAN 700 CRASHES CAUGHT ON TAPE, THEY FOUND SIGNS OF DROWSY DRIVING IN ROUGHLY 10 %. >> EAGLES! >> Reporter: FANS LINED THE STREETS AND CLIMBED THE TREES TO CELEBRATE THE CITY'S FIRST SUPER BOWL WIN WITH A MASSIVE PARADE. >> IT'S ABOUT TIME! >> Reporter: NAT SHAFFIR RUNS SIX MILES A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK. SO YOU'VE HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT. YOU'VE BEEN SHOT IN THE KNEE. >> YEAH. >> Reporter: AND YOU'RE RUNNING MARATHONS. >> RIGHT. >> Glor: MILLIONS AREN'T SLEEPING ENOUGH AND THEY ARE CAUSING FAR MORE HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. A. A. A. SAID TODAY NEARLY 10 % OF CRASHES INVOLVE DROWSY DRIVERS. HERE'S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT KRIS VAN CLEAVE. >> Reporter: ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL. RESEARCHERS NOW BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING HERE IS HAPPENING ON THE ROADS FAR MORE FREQUENTLY THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. HERE, THIS TEEN REAR- ENDS ANOTHER VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. >> Reporter: WHEN ADDISON, ILLINOIS, POLICE PULLED OVER THIS DRIVER, HE SAID HE'D JUST FINISHED A 14- HOUR SHIFT AND WAS EXHAUSTED. >> Reporter: THE A. A. A. FOUNDATION REVIEWED VIDEO LIKE THIS, OF 3, 500 DRIVERS AND MORE THAN 700 ACCIDENTS, LOOKING FOR TELLTALE SIGNS OF FATIGUE, SOMETHING FEDERAL REGULATORS ESTIMATE FACTORS INTO 1 % TO 2 % OF CRASHES. BUT THESE RESEARCHERS SAW DROWSY DRIVING IN NEARLY 10 % OF THE ACCIDENTS REVIEWED. ONE IN TEN. >> ONE IN TEN. >> Reporter: THAT'S A LOT OF CRASHES. >> DEFINITELY. AND SO I THINK THAT REALLY UNDERSCORES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN ON THE ROAD. >> Reporter: IT'S A CONCERN THAT HAUNTS JENNIFER PEARCE. >> SHE'LL NEVER GET TO BE AN AUNT TO MY CHILDREN. SHE'LL NEVER GET TO MEET HER YOUNGEST NIECE, FAITH. >> Reporter: HER YOUNGER SISTER, NICOLE, WAS AN 18- YEAR- OLD FRESHMAN AT VIRGINIA TECH. WHEN RIDING BACK FROM A SKI TRIP WITH FRIENDS, THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP AND SLAMMED INTO A TREE, KILLING NICOLE. >> IT DOESN'T REALLY GO AWAY. YOU JUST MOURN DIFFERENTLY EACH YEAR. MY BIGGEST MESSAGE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT SLEEP IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, AND IT'S NECESSARY EVERY DAY, ALL THE TIME. >> Reporter: NOW, EXPERTS SAY SOME DROWSY DRIVERS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS DRUNK DRIVERS. JEFF. >> Glor: TAKE A BREAK, PULL OVER, TAKE A REST IF YOU NEED IT. KRIS VAN CLEAVE, THANK YOU. UP NEXT HERE, EAGLES FANS HAVE WAITED DECADES TO THROW A PARTY LIKE THIS. >> Glor: TODAY, IT SEEMED LIKE ALL OF PHILADELPHIA TURNED OUT TO CELEBRATE THE EAGLES' FIRST SUPER BOWL WIN, AND DeMARCO MORGAN WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL. >> EAGLES! >> Reporter: THE CELEBRATION STARTED ON THE WAY TO THE CELEBRATION. >> FLY, EAGLES, FLY! >> Reporter: AND THE LINE AT WAWA WOUND OUT THE DOOR AND AROUND THE BLOCK. FANS LINED THE STREETS AND CLIMBED TREES TO CELEBRATE THE CITY'S FIRST SUPER BOWL WIN WITH A MASSIVE PARADE. COPS DANCED IN THE STREETS AND DIRECTED CHANTS INSTEAD OF TRAFFIC. >> EAGLES! >> Reporter: AND EAGLES CENTER, JASON KELCE, HAD SOME FUN ON LIVE TV. >> HUNGRY DOGS RUN FASTER, AND THAT'S THIS TEAM! >> Reporter: THERE WAS EVEN A COFFIN ON THE STREET. >> CONGRATULATIONS, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. WE BURIED THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. >> Reporter: BUT WHETHER YOU RODE IN BY TRAIN OR CAME IN BY FOOT, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT JUST TO GET THIS CLOSE TO THE CHAMPS. >> VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY! >> MY FATHER'S LOOKING DOWN, A BIG EAGLES FAN. >> WE WON! WE BEAT THEM! THEY DIDN'T THINK WE COULD, BUT WE DID! >> EAGLES! >> HEY, WE WANT TO BREAK A WORLD RECORD RIGHT NOW. >> Reporter: THE PARADE ENDED AT THE STEPS ROCKY BALBOA MADE FAMOUS, WITH EAGLES PLAYERS TRYING TO SET ANOTHER RECORD. >> E- A- G- L- E- S. EAGLES! >> Reporter: NOW, ORGANIZERS HAD HOPED FOR TWO MILLION PEOPLE TO ATTEND TODAY'S PARADE, AND WHEN YOU ADD IN THE MORE THAN 1, 000 POUNDS OF CONFETTI, THE THOUSANDS OF CANS OF BEER, AND DOZENS OF FOOD TRUCKS, IT WILL TAKE THE REST OF THE NIGHT TO CLEAN UP THE CITY. JEFF. >> Glor: AT LEAST. DeMARCO, THANK YOU. UP NEXT, AT 81 YEARS OLD, HE IS SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR FOLKS HALF HIS AGE. >> Glor: WE END TONIGHT WITH A MAN WHO STARTED RUNNING WHEN HE REACHED SOCIAL SECURITY AGE, AND HASN'T STOPPED YET. CHIP REID NOW WITH OUR SPECIAL SERIES, " LIVING STRONGER ." >> Reporter: NAT SHAFFIR RUNS SIX MILES A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK. HE STARTED RUNNING AFTER MEETING A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO HAD JUST RUN A MARATHON. >> SO I LOOKED AT HER AND I SAID, " SHE DID A MARATHON? IF SHE CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT ." >> Reporter: AND YOU WERE HOW OLD AT THE TIME? >> 65. >> Reporter: HE'S NOW 81, AND LATER THIS YEAR, HOPES TO RUN HIS 12th MARATHON. WHEN HE RUNS, HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO MUSIC OR PLAN HIS DAY. HE SAYS HIS MIND IS USUALLY IN A MUCH DARKER PLACE. WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING, DO YOU SOMETIMES RELIVE AND THINK ABOUT THIS HORROR? >> ABSOLUTELY, ALL THE TIME. >> Reporter: THAT HORROR IS THE HOLOCAUST. HE GIVES TOURS AT THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, D. C. WHERE HE SHARES HIS OWN STORY. >> WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HITLER HATED ALL MINORITIES, IN PARTICULAR, JEWS. >> Reporter: SHAFFIR WAS BORN IN ROMANIA IN 1936, AND HAD A HAPPY CHILDHOOD, UNTIL HE WAS ALMOST SIX YEARS OLD, WHEN EVERYTHING SUDDENLY CHANGED. >> ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS WAS A PRIEST. HE SHOWED UP WITH A POLICE OFFICER, AND TWO ARMED GUARDS, AND HE'S POINTING AT US AND HE'S SAYING " ES DE DEJUNS ." " THESE ARE JEWS ." SO WE WERE ACTUALLY TURNED IN TO THE AUTHORITIES BECAUSE WE WERE JEWS BY A PRIEST. >> Reporter: HIS FAMILY SPENT YEARS IN A JEWISH GHETTO WITH BARELY ENOUGH FOOD TO SURVIVE. 32 OF HIS RELATIVES PERISHED IN NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS. SHAFFIR THOUGH, EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO ISRAEL, AND AT AGE 24, TO AMERICA. RUNNING, HE SAYS, GIVES HIM STRENGTH. AS A YOUNG PARATROOPER IN THE ISRAELI ARMY, HE WAS SHOT IN THE KNEE. YOU STILL HAVE ANY BULLET FRAGMENTS OR ANYTHING IN YOUR LEG? >> NO, THEY TOOK IT OUT WHEN THEY REPLACED MY KNEE. >> Reporter: SO YOU'VE HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT, YOU WERE SHOT IN THE KNEE, AND YOU'RE RUNNING MARATHONS. >> RIGHT. >> Reporter: RUNNING WHILE THINKING ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST, HE SAYS, GIVES HIM THE MENTAL STRENGTH TO KEEP TELLING HIS STORY. >> RUNNING GIVES ME SO MUCH MORE INCENTIVE TO SPEAK OUT AND MAKE SURE THINGS LIKE THIS DON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. >> Reporter: 81 YEARS OLD, AND LIVING STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. CHIP REID, CBS NEWS, WASHINGTON. >> Glor: THAT IS THE " CBS EVENING NEWS" TONIGHT. I'M JEFF GLOR. GOOD NIGHT.
