7:03 am
. welcome to "cbs this morning." jetblue pilot clayton osbon is hospitalized in amarillo, texas. later today he could be charged with interfering with his own flight. he went on a mid air rant yesterday and had to be subdued by flight attendants and passengers while his co-pilot made an emergency landing. >> we will speak with two of those passengers but first national correspondent lee cowen is in las vegas at the flight's destination originally with more on this strange incident. lee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. good morning to our viewers here in the west. this was supposed to be a routine nonstop flight from new york here to las vegas but it was anything but instead the passengers found themselves making an emergency landing in amarillo, texas, and out front on the floor tied up outside of the cockpit was the man who was actually supposed to be flying that flight.
7:04 am
ever since 9/11, the thought of someone storming a cockpit has been a worse case scenario. >> we got israel. we got iraq. >> reporter: high above texas tuesday afternoon, jetblue passengers feared it was happening all over again. >> all of a sudden i see a guy dart down the aisle wearing what appeared to be a jetblue uniform. >> reporter: it was a jetblue uniform and in it was the captain clayton osbon, a veteran pilot. why he was out of the cockpit, was injuries didn't kn passengers didn't know. what they did know was something was wrong. >> he was banging on the door. bring the throttle to idle. we're going down. we're all going to die. pray to jesus. open this door. >> reporter: a flight attendant tried to intervene but found she was no match for osbon's strength. >> 6'4", 260, solid as a rock,
7:05 am
bent for a cause which we don't know what it is. >> reporter: nerves were wrong. >> a woman next to me was praying the whole time. she was grabbing me. because of her i calmed down. i was ready to run. i didn't know where i was going but i was ready to run. >> reporter: then it seemed to get worse. passengers say osbon tried to reach for the exit. >> then i said i can't let this guy open the door up here. that's when i said what's your problem? he said you got to pray to god. you got to pray to god. iran. iraq. i said i don't have time for that. i choked him. >> reporter: he wasn't the only one. >> a couple guys took him down. we had to subdue the guy. six of us came into the picture. we got him by his legs and by his arms and by his face and by his head. >> reporter: inside the cockpit the co-pilot who the faa said intentionally locked osbon out because of his bizarre behavior was radioing for help. >> we have an emergency at this time.
7:06 am
we're going to need priority into amarillo. >> reporter: it took almost 30 minutes and passengers were holding the still struggling captain down safe. >> what do you think would have happened if he got in. >> they would have went down. >> reporter: the pilot was taken to a hospital. restrained and still talking gibberish while both the flight crew and passengers nursed wound that could have been much worse. investigators are looking into his past and medical records to see if they can figure out what may have caused the meltdown and to see what, if any, charges may apply. charlie, erica? >> lee cowen in las vegas. after the incident and emergency landing, passengers from flight 191 arrived in las vegas on a different plane last night. six hours late. as you just heard, they had some vivid stories to tell. earlier we spoke with two passengers who helped subdue the captain. i began by asking them about the moment they realized their flight was in danger and they had to do something.
7:07 am
>> the captain came out of the cockpit unannounced and when you fly a lot, you become accustomed to some of the formalities where they secure the forward cabin. that was the first sign that something was off. his behavior was very erratic. he was erratic talking. that continued to escalate. i think what was really a trigger that something was going horribly wrong was the crew had prepared an off-duty pilot to move into the cockpit and so when the captain that was in distress went into the restroom, that co-pilot was moved into the cockpit quickly. that was, i think, in my mind a trigger that something was about to go horribly wrong. things really just escalated from that point to such a time where he tried gaining access back into the cockpit and that's when i guess impulsively the four of us just jumped up and grabbed him and pulled him away from the cockpit door and he
7:08 am
started ranting about iraq, iran, they're going to take us down. say the lord's prayer. at that point we literally just tackled him to the ground and restrained him. >> when you did that, was it out of instinct or were you reminded, were you thinking about anything? >> well, frankly, having experienced the tragedies of 9/11 and being a retired sergeant with the new york city police department, training immediately kicked in. when i initially approached who i first did not believe was a pilot but wearing a uniform that resembled a pilot's uniform, i realized that this person was deranged and that we had to take swift action otherwise there could be dire consequences. in essence we -- >> you were talking about how your training kicked in and being retired nypd sergeant, many people having to have that onboard any plane.
7:09 am
you look at the sheer size of this man. 6'4", 260 pounds, solid as a rock, was there a moment as four of you jumped into action saying we dent knon't know if we can k this guy contained. he broke through some of the plastic ties that you were given. >> that's an excellent point. it was a serious concern. we tried to put restraints on his wrist. they were inferior quality and defective. we were handed two sets of zip ties as they're called. neither of them functioned properly. we had no other option but to physically restrain this individual on the ground until the plane was safely landed. we were able to contain him and through coordination and cooperation of the other passengers involved in this, we were able to prevent a tragedy. >> everybody else seemed to really have kept their calm. paul, you mentioned that you fly a lot.
7:10 am
at what point did you realize there was another captain on the plane? you saw him getting ready and prepared to put him in the cockpit. how did you realize that was actually happening? >> the captain that was in distress was in the cabin area on the cockpit side of the barrier that they put up. one of the flight attendants walked back. that captain was sitting three rows behind me. i saw them moving him around talking to him and so he came into the aisle so then we saw the distressed captain go into the restroom near the cockpit and the cockpit door opened, the co-pilot quickly went into the cockpit and that's as quick as it happened. i think a couple of things should be noted here. the co-pilot really had the -- he is the hero here for being able to recognize early on that something was going horribly wrong and somehow to get him out of the cockpit. and then the crew really did a
7:11 am
spectacular job preparing the off-duty co-pilot to get him into the cockpit so the plane would be flown safely. >> let me interrupt you to ask one question that is interesting to me. did he ever change his manner or mindset after he was subdued? did he ever say anything rationale during the time you subdued him and the time the plane landed? >> no, he did not. >> actually, i tried to coordinate that where i insisted upon everyone that we were detaining him on the ground not to engage him in any way. he was an emotionally disturbed person. you don't want to agitate him. you don't know what you will say that might set him off. in the best interest and safety of everyone, i said let's not talk to him. let's be quiet and contain him until the plane lands safely. >> good to have you both with us this morning. good that you are both safely on the ground. thanks so much. >> thank you very much.
7:12 am
>> thank you for having me. >> of course captain sullenberger is no stranger to drama in the skies. he's also our cbs news aviation safety expert. he joins us this morning from vancouver, canada. sully, always good to have you with us especially in these situations. give us a sense of we heard from so many people including the passengers we just spoke with saying the co-pilot is the real hero here. they cite the crew. when you fly with someone, you are not with that co-pilot all the time. that must have been a challenge for him as well to recognize what this other gentleman was going through especially if he may not have had a history with him. >> that's true. we often fly with people we haven't flown with before. we're all trained to a high professional standard. you have to also realize the cockpit. you are locked in this cubical with someone up to 15 hours a day so every interaction and everything about them you notice. they are right there with you. if something is amiss, it's going to be picked up on. >> this co-pilot certainly is
7:13 am
the hero as two people we just talked to said. do you have any idea how he got the man, the pilot to leave the cabin? >> i don't know. perhaps he suggested that he needed to go to the bathroom or that something in the cabin needed to be checked. we'll have to find out. it was a wise choice and as it was said earlier, it's great that he noticed there was something amiss. managed to get the captain out of the cockpit and then get another relief pilot in who was a passenger and land the airplane safely very quickly. >> will this change anything about how people go about dealing with this kind of emergency? >> well, this is a really extraordinary rare thing. in my entire airline career, i don't remember ever hearing about anything remotely like this. i'm sure we'll improve the system and we'll certainly in recurrent training bring up all kinds of scenarios and be prepared for whatever happens in
7:14 am
flight. >> you mentioned training. there are also medical evaluations that you go through once a year before age 40 and every six months after that. what do they look for? anything that you learned so far and what we know this morning that maybe one of those evaluations could have in any way missed? >> well, you know, i think the medical science is that it is very difficult to know with certainty whether an individual is going to have any kind of incapacitatation at any age. we have lots of things in place to prevent this. we have pilots union that has professional standards committees and peers, trained to deal with anything out of the ordinary. the company itself has procedures and of course the faa comes in at any time and require someone to demonstrate their competence. there are a lot of procedures in place and this is just an extraordinarily rare event. what is really important to note is that this first officer was experienced and qualified to
7:15 am
handle the airplane by himself and we need to make sure that's always the case. right now the faa is about to publish in the next several months new minimum flight requirements for first officers and it's important that they not be watered down. right now the minimum for an airline pilot is as little as 250 hours. unbelievably low. we're trying to get it to at least 1,500 hours. there's industry pressure to water it down. >> it ought to be said this is one more time in as it was with you in which a pilot or co-pilot knew what to do in a difficult circumstance and that says something about the training of the people who are flying for us today. thank you very much. >> you're welcome, charlie. >> ahead in our next hour, senior correspondent jon miller will have more on the investigation of this incident and what he heard from his sources. we'll also look at possible charges captain osbon is facing. today marks the final day of oral arguments in the supreme court in the historic challenge to the obama health care law.
7:16 am
on tuesday all indications were that the justices are split along familiar lines. jan crawford is at the supreme court this morning. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. from the beginning the president's health care law and especially that individual mandate requiring people to buy health insurance has deeply divided america and tuesday it divided the justices as well although if they were voting today, it looks like a majority is ready to throw it out. outside of the court opponents of the law had new found confidence. >> between coming out and going in, i'm happier coming out than when i went in. let me put it to you that way. >> reporter: the individual mandate that requires all americans buy insurance came under fire. >> what is left if the government can do this, what else can it not do? >> the conservatives justices and justice anthony kennedy a moderate, suggested the law went too far giving congress broad new powers to dictate birthday.
7:17 am
>> that's different from what we have in previous cases. that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way. >> reporter: leading proponents of the law are raising concerns that the government didn't make its case putting the law in jeopardy. some are going so far as to point the finger at the solicitor jennifer ashtgeneral states, donald verrilli. the justices always hammer lawyers on the other side with tough questions and justices who are sympathetic jump in and try to help the lawyer. happens all the time. the problem in the supreme court yesterday for the government wasn't its lawyer. it was the case. charlie and erica? >> jan, one question. it seems to me that everybody that i've talked to and everybody that's written about this thought that there are clear indications that in fact this individual mandate might be ruled unconstitutional. many things can change before
7:18 am
they come together. that's the consensus in the courtroom from what i have heard or observed. >> reporter: very tough questions from the conservative justices yesterday and that key swing vote, justice kennedy, who will provide the decisive fifth vote for the majority. think what they'll do now. they'll talk about their case amongst themselves and write opinions and they can change their mind. justice kennedy has done it before more than once. the thing that i would like to say to liberal justices they seemed deeply committed to supporting this law. i wouldn't look for them to change their minds. >> thank you. in colorado this morning, an erratic wildfire suspected of causing at least two deaths remains totally outs of control. the fire which is southwest of denver is actually one of several fueled by unusually dry, warm weather. at least 28 homes have been destroyed by the fire that covers now seven square miles. an elderly couple was found dead. a third person is missing. thousands have been forced to
7:19 am
evacuate and residents of 6,500 other homes have been told they need to be ready to leave. >> time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. we begin with a report that rupert murdoch's news corporation was behind a way of high tech piracy against other pay tv companies in australia. a four-year investigation found that a group of police and intelligence officers turned out dirty tricks that devastated news corp.'s competition. castro plans to meet with pope benedict before the open air mass in havana. yesterday he met with raul, cuba's president. this is the last day of the pope's visit to cuba.

love that song. >> the chances are you know someone with an artificial hip or some other medical implant and you would assume those products are rigorously tested to make sure they're safe. >> but a new consumer reports investigation just out this morning shows it is rarely the case. elaine quijano has one woman's story. >> reporter: after developing severe arthritis, 56-year-old terry had her left hip replaced in 20 07. at first, everything seemed fine. but not for long. >> when i got home and after a couple of weeks, i started -- the leg started to hurt. >> reporter: despite the pain in her left hip, terry needed her right hip replaced two years later. then a bomb shell. the manufacturer called dupuy was recalling all 93,000 of the artificial hips worldwide. >> both hips were being recalled. >> reporter: the hips, all metal, have a high failure rate

components of their recalled hips were conducted and point out that the hips were cleared for marketing by the fda. that's little comfort to terry. she's one of hundreds of patients suing the manufacturer. >> i'm finding out now that these things they put into me weren't even tested. and they're in my body. it's really quite upsetting. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm elaine quijano in new york. >> the fda did not request for cbs news' request for comment. they say the current regulations have served american patients as well and as a responsible guardian of health, the fda believes it's a challenge to eliminate a program without having a better alternative. >> nancy metcalf from "consumer reports" who wrote the article. we're pleased to have you with us this morning. >> good morning. >> why would the fda not want this done, to see this kind of testing? >> it goes back to a loophole

you could really drive a truck through, which is that if you're a medical device manufacturer and you can prove that your device is sort of, kind of similar to a device that was sold earlier, you can get it grandfathered in without any clinical testing. device companies have very smart lawyers and regulatory people who help them do that. >> i'm just surprised the fbi -- that the fda would not say, we have a reason we haven't done this, other than -- >> wait for something better. >> exactly. >> well, yeah. that's a question to ask them. >> well, we tried. here's a doctor who said, he's not surprised and he's seen a pattern of this. >> a lot of medical people who follow this closely are horrified by this. i talked to a number of them. this is the thing that affects aa lot of people. we did a national survey of american adults and 17% of them said they have something
7:50 am
implanted in their body. it could be, you know, replacement limbs, if they've had cataract surgery, a joint, a heart valve, a stint, something. >> this extends beyond hips and knee replacement. >> very much. >> we're talking about some other things on the lip. lap bands, defibrillators, so when you look at that list of things and thinking, a, i've got something in my body, i'm 17% of those americans, or, b, i have something scheduled, what do you do to make sure what you need is safe? >> well, a couple things. first of all, you need to ask, do i really need this device? is there another way to fix my problem? find out what your doctor wants to put in you, get the name of it, go to the fda website, fda.gov, plug it in their search engines. if there are safety problems or recalls, you can see them. go on any search engine and put in the name. if you see a bunch of layers trying to get clients for lawsuits, that's a red flag. >> quickly. if we go to the fda website but
7:51 am
they're not updating the way they regulate thing, can i trust that information? >> you can trust what's there, but we really need to get the fda to be more rigorous about these new implantedable devices. >> it's good advice to anybody. go and look for yourself to see if there's a pattern of other people having the same problem. >> yes. >> nancy, good to have you with us. thank you. for years the l.a. dodgers have been caught up in a very messy divorce. now an nba legend is picking up the ball. we'll take you inside the deal that has hollywood buzzing. you're watching "cbs this morning." >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by party city. nobody has more easter for less.

craig sonner, the courageous defender of george zimmerman just walked out of our studio. there's his empty chair in our studio. quickly, here's some of the things i was going to ask him. >> all right, all right. the guest isn't there. you're just going to mention some of the areas you would have discussed, not the most enthralling television, but it's msnbc. >> who is paying you, mr. lawyer? who hired you? did you represent him when he was arrested for assault on a police officer? >> he is grilling the chair! note to self, don't go to ikea with lawrence o'donnell. >> so far, around we happy to report no one has ever walked out. we have not had to interview an empty chair yet.
8:01 am
not yet. >> not yet. >> and then we'll just talk to each other. >> that's right. >> that's always the advantage of having more than one person at the table. took the words out of your mouth, didn't i? >> you did. we're far too connected. >> hey, it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose with erica -- hill. we've been reporting all morning the captain of the jetblue flight 191 could face criminal charges as soon as today. he had to be restrained after he stormed through the cabin screaming about threats linked to iran and afghanistan. >> the co-pilot made an emergency landing in amarillo, texas. lee cowan is in las vegas where flight 191 was originally scheduled to land. lee, good morning. >> reporter: morning, guys. that pilot is under medical evaluation this morning. the passengers on that plane are just counting their blessings after having to tackle the person who's supposed to be flying that flight. the incident began midflight. the co-pilot noticing abnormal
8:02 am
behavior and physical duress suggested somehow that he exit the cockpit. at the same time, he arranged for another jetblue pilot flying as a passenger to enter the cockpit while he was outside. a 49-year-old georgian, a jetblue pilot with 12 years' captain's experience returned to find the cockpit intentionally locked. that's when his behavior escalated. >> he's banging on the door, yelling at the first officer. i think his name was steve. bring it to idle. bring it to idle. we're all going down. pray to jesus. open this goddamn door. >> reporter: he assured them it was not being hijacked. >> so the stewardesses got ahold of him, but then he got close to the door, the outside door, so then i said, i can't let this guy open the door up here. >> reporter: an emergency landing was made in amarillo, texas, where he was finally taken into custody. although the pilot call it had a
8:03 am
medical incident, the luggage was screened for explosives. databases determined that he has no known association with any terrorist groups. if investigators decide to charge the pilot, it would be the first time that a pilot was ever charged with interfering with his own flight. back to you guys. >> thank you, lee. senior correspondent john miller has been talking with law enforcement and security forces and joins us now. this is the thing, john miller. hello. >> good morning. >> i'm ea very nervous flyers. i look at the passengers, the exit, imagine scenarios in my mind. i have never thought about the captain. this is a headline, this is your captain freaking. only the "new york post" could write a headline like that. i'm thinking what now will the fbi do to deal with this incident? it's so frightening. >> what they've been doing all night long, starting through midday yesterday, was that's a very small office, amarillo. so that's a four-man fbi team that responded directly to the airport. and then with a lot of help from the amarillo police because they
8:04 am
had more people. they separated the 130 passengers and crew. they got everybody's statement. they documented that. and they have a way to reach back to all of those people. that was a critical first step. but the rest of the night was figuring out who are this captain's friends, his family? who's his physician? where is his drugstore? in other words, trying to put the answers to those questions. the first thing you would do is ask him, the captain, in an interview on the way to northwest hospital, but the people i spoke to last night said on the way to the hospital at the hospital, he remained incoherent. in some way they had to back off and let the doctors do their thing so that he would be a viable interview. >> he was speaking gibberish. it's one of those things that you don't think the captain could go cuckoo for cocoa puffs. when you listen to the passengers talking about it, one woman said i wanted to run. i didn't know where. i love the new york guy who said i don't have time for this today. i think only a new yorker would
8:05 am
say that. i don't have time for this today. do captains -- do pilots go through psychological training? >> they go through psychological testing. they go through drug testing, both random for cause and on suspicion. they have to go through, a once-a-year physical and qualify. if they're over 40, that becomes once every six months. i mean, the medication issue here is going to be a critical question which is if he was on it, was it reported in the physical? and if it wasn't reported in the physical, is even that a violation of law? >> from what you've heard, i mean, you mentioned people you spoke with that even on the way to the hospital, he was inco-here end. was there any indication as to when this started? were there any signs we know of before the cockpit door was originally closed and he was sitting there with the co-pilot? >> well, i think that you take a look at the co-pilot's actions here. here is a guy who realizes this guy is acting abnormally. his physical manner, the things
8:06 am
he's saying. this is a couple hours into the flight, and this has been building. and he very calmly convinces him to go out of the cockpit. he says, you know, splash a little water in your face in the men's room and then he locks the door, figures out that that head pilot, gets him up there. they changed the combination on the door. there's a lot of thinking on your feet that's going on with that co-pilot who managed to not get in an argument or challenge this guy but actually defuse the incident. >> what was the conversation in the cockpit? >> the conversation in the cockpit is recorded. and that lives in the black box. that's not something they whip out and play back. it has to be processed through a system, and that is one of the critical things they'll be looking at today. because what the fbi needs to find out now is everything they can about this guy and what could have caused this, either physiologically, mentally, chemically. >> i mean, the fbi is the fbi. they know how to find out why the behavior of somebody, and it if they have a medical issue and that kind of stuff.
8:07 am
>> sure. the issue here is not a yes or no answer. it's one of those things where does he have a wife over here? does he have a cousin in arkansas? is there a friend he talks to in chicago? and that means leads are sent out and even at 3:00 in the morning, they'll knock on that door and answer it. >> exactly. >> but the other question is to what end. so what does the u.s. attorney want to know this morning when they say, are we filing a federal criminal complaint for interfering with a flight. >> charges he may be facing. >> that would be it, the federal charge of interfering with a flight crew. and as lee pointed out, this would be the first time in known history that the pilot in charge has been charged federally with interfering with his own flight. but the u.s. attorney is going to want to know, was this behavior? was this chemically induced? was this medically induced? was this -- they're going to want to know, before i take this charge to a court or ever a jury that's going to say, well, the guy had a problem, there was no criminal intent here, what did they put together on that story?
8:08 am
and i've got to close with this. the fbi doesn't operate the way we operate. we operate at the hysterical pace of the very next deadline. we need to know now. the fbi will go through this in a very methodical way. and they will figure out what leads take them to other leads till they have enough. >> say something they'll regret later. >> when they present it to the prosecutor, the prosecutor is going to have more answers. they'll give the answers to those. so we could see a charge today based on a probable cause arrest, or the u.s. attorney

8:14 am
the basketball hall of famer is buying the team for 2 billion with a "b" dollars. >> if the deal is approved, it will be a record price for any sports franchise. business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis says the team fell victim to a family quarrel. that would be the divorce. >> reporter: in any divorce, there are victims. but rarely are there so many they could fill an entire stadium. >> frank and jamie mccourt couldn't settle their divorce without airing every bit of dirty laundry. >> reporter: for almost three years the nasty divorce saga of los angeles dodgers' owner frank mccourt and his now ex-wife, jamie, filled headlines with tales of extravagant spending. >> they bought the houses together. they flew on private planes together. they flew first class when they didn't fly private planes. they stayed at luxury hotels. >> mr. mccourt does not wish to continue subsidizing a lifestyle that is unrealistic and obscene.
8:15 am
>> reporter: as the sordid details spilled out, major league baseball realized frank mccourt was running the team with hundreds of millions of dollars of borrowed money. >> they realized that the dodgers were an even more perilous financial straits than they thought. >> reporter: last june mccourt went from divorce court to bankruptcy court when the dodgers filed for chapter 11 protection. >> too bad that the couple couldn't settle it and not affect the team. >> reporter: but it did. fans were disgusted, and the boys in blue played to a half-empty stadium. finally last fall, frank mccourt gave up. he settled with jamie and agreed to sell the team. now jamie gets $130 million off the top of the record-breaking $2 billion sale price. the most for any sports franchise in history. >> the biggest reason is the media rights. the dodgers' figure in the next year or two to sign a deal in excess of $3 billion. >> reporter: what makes these media rights so valuable? >> sports is really where the money is going because it's the last place where you have an
8:16 am
audience that demands to watch it live and will be subject to the commercials. >> i'm excited. i'm a laker fan and a dodger fan. >> reporter: but for the fans, it's just good to have their team back in local hands. even if those hands are more comfortable holding a basketball than a baseball bat. >> and rebecca jarvis joins us. we end the story with magic johnson opinion when i heard it on the news this morning, i went, magic johnson? >> he had the home court advantage because he's from l.a., and a lot of analysts looking at the different bidders said magic johnson has it. it's not just magic johnson. you also have sam keston who is the former president of the washington nationals and the braves. mandalay entertainment. >> does magic have a big ownership interest here, or is he, even though he's a very wealthy and entrepreneurial man, is he simply the front? >> he's more than likely the big face here. and we don't know specifics of what's paying in. that's actually going to be an interesting point because the question will be how much debt is used to finance this
8:17 am
transaction? we talked about the media rights in the story. the media rights will ultimately go towards paying down that debt. but the question is, at what point does it get paid off so that they can really invest in the team here? because that's what the team so separately needs. >> i remember following all of this story because i sort of am fascinated with the juicy divorce. >> yes, of course. >> you didn't know that about me, did you, charles? i know. big surprise. but with all the numbers thrown around and all the money that was thrown around, i'm surprised that there's money left. >> it is surprising that there's money left, but you can really thank the $2 billion price tag for that because if this company didn't get sold for $2 billion, and you didn't have a dvr out there posing an issue for people watching tv live, all of a sudden you wouldn't have that value. >> all right. to be continued. >> thank you. >> thank you, rebecca. all of a sudden three's a crowd at the palace. not here on "cbs this morning." three's never a crowd. guess who's moving in with william and kate.

together. we have high expectations, huge demands, constant interruption to our lives. i say, let's do a show where i show people, have you no problems by contrast. let's show people what human beings are capable of by finding extreme examples and turning them around in that rapid period of time. >> it's so fascinating to watch you in action, tony, because immediately you start speaking, the way you move, the way you speak, people pay attention. but yet you don't see yourself as a motivational speaker. for those of us who listen to you and follow you and believe in you, i'm surprised. >> only because i think motivation is like a warm bath. i've never been that. i've hated that term. >> i knew that was it. >> it's a warm bath. you should have one pretty regularly. i really think -- you have to find what drives you. i also think you need strategy. if you're all positive and you say, my goal is to see a sunset and you start running east, i don't care how positive you are -- >> you ain't going to see it. >> -- you have the wrong strategy. the first show that oprah network has it, i took a group of people and i said, find me an example that's really tough.

8:34 am
>> skydiving, murder ball. it's basically rugby for quadriplegics and devices look like mad max. i got him doing things he hasn't done when he was able-bodied. you look at him today, a year and a half lately, he called me recently, they're out camping, racing his car in the desert he races with his elbows. >> look at you today, you've talked candidly about your childhood. you had some tough times. you went through abuse. i'm wondering what it taught you, what you learned from that? >> i think it gave me -- when you have experienced suffering -- i didn't talk about this at any time in my life until recently because i wok with a lot of kids and adults who are been abused. if you just say, you can do it. they don't understand unless you've been through it. biography is not destiny. doesn't matter if oprah is your dearest friend in the world. i think what it does when you've experienced suffering, you don't want anybody to suffer. when you've experienced suffering you want to find the answers to turn around. it gave me unbelievable hunger and drive and made me sensitive to what people are experiencing
8:35 am
because i had to know what was happening next. hi to be a practical psychologist. it's given me skill sets i've been able to use to help people and make a difference in some way. >> isn't the core message, whether it's you or someone else, whatever you call it, you are responsible for your own life. >> i think the moral -- >> you're responsible for your own life and you have to take a hard-headed look at who you are and you have to have the confidence that you can change your own life. >> i think it's more than that. i think it's -- we're all responsible to life for something more than ourselves. as long as you're just focused on yourself, you're going to find depression and frustration -- >> i mean by the response of your own life, what you want to do with your life may be helping others, whatever it might be, but it's your responsibility to take action to do that. >> saying it that way feels like a heavy to people. people find more, when they find something they care about more than themselves, whether it be a child or a mission or their job, career, family, when people have something more than themselves, then it's not about responsibility. it's about giving. it's about being alive.

afraid, but do you it anyway. it's not courage unless you're afraid. what you learn to do is how to get yourself to do what's necessary in a short burst. the fire walk is a fun metaphor but it gets people's attention. if you come, i promise you, if you come, you'll walk. just come with the idea you won't walk. come with the idea you're scared and we'll see what happens, how about that? >> okay. i'm going to put on my big girl pants and mull it over. thank you, tony. >> good to see you. >> maybe i'll see you tomorrow. you can see "breakthrough" mondays at 10:00 on own, the oem ra winfrey network. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

there you go, a shot, head of cbs sports has had a busy career as pro golfer, outspoken commentator, you, and the hit of a tv talk show. >> and been very public about struggling with alcoholism, addiction and mental illness. he's not afraid to speak his mind which is why he's in studio 57. great to have you here. >> i'm delighted to be here. >> mike wallace, one of my heroes. >> mine, too, indeed. >> we asked tony to stay. >> we have a lot in common, apart from the fact i look like a smurf. >> you said it. >> my chair is -- has been raised a foot. >> here's what's interesting. we had a conversation in the green room talking about tiger and you've said that tiger -- tiger's playing his game, he wins the masters. >> oh, yes, yes, yeah. >> and you talked about
8:41 am
confidence, that what the key to his game now is -- >> it was interesting. i thought david brought an interesting point up here -- share what you were saying. >> well, for the first time in his career, about 2 1/2 years ago, he started to think about the consequences of his shot. when michael jordan went up for that famous fateaway jump shot, he wasn't thinking about whether he was going to miss or make. he was right there in the here and now, concentrating on what he was doing at that particular moment. and tiger is back very, very close to being in the here and now. and that's when you create the sort of bandwidth in which you can do the things that only tiger would -- >> so, if he's there -- >> if he's there, everybody e e else -- >> he was talking about changing the swing. you were saying, the swing doesn't matter. >> or it doesn't change. >> it hasn't changed since he was on the mike douglas show, he was 3 years old. he can play with anything.
8:42 am
it's between here and how quiet in there. he's had a head full of slamming doors for the last 2 1/2 years. and he's happy again. >> the thing you were saying -- >> does he seem happy again? >> yes. >> i wonder. >> you said, what is tiger going to say if he's going to all these different people going to coaches with different swings. i was saying, if he believes that's the difference, all that matters is it gives him certainty again. one professional athlete, once they have the skill set, it's all about absolute certainty. even that -- people can watch any sport, a kicker on a football field, an nba player shooting a free throw. you've seen them i'm sure and thought, he's going to miss it. you can see that uncertainty inside them, as long as there's a war inside, it's like a business. there's only so much energy. either the energy will be dealt with outside for performance or inside, dealing with your inner demons. for whatever reason it seems like he's gotten those inner demons more under control. >> but couldn't it apply to those who aren't athletes as
8:43 am
well? >> absolutely, it does. >> if there are two sets of circumstances, you know, you can either miss or make. you can succeed or fail. if you make both of those equally acceptable, then you create an environment in which you can perform. >> wait, wait, wait. is tiger woods the kind of person who would ever make the scenario of failure acceptable? that seems hard to believe. >> i don't think that's it. i think what he's saying is there has to be a place where he lets go so he can focus only on the outcome. >> got it. >> he's not focused on success and failure. there was -- you can't be seeing it and not seeing it. >> that makes more sense. >> he has to do this first. >> letting go is the key. people's anxiety is precious to them. it's something they hold onto. letting it go is a courageous thing. >> right. >> you've let go with some demons in your life. how did you do it? >> i had tremendous help from some very good friends, tom watson, jack nicklaus, my daughter, my wife. i just reached a point in my life where i was -- i was going to die.
8:44 am
and i figured -- and i'm irish, you know, i didn't quit because i was a bad addict or bad alcoholic or whatever. i was spectacularly good at it. you know, i was functional. but, you know, it's just -- and i don't know when the depression and mental illness hit, whether it was before or afterwards. getting properly diagnosed and having someone like mike wallace -- >> go public with his own depression. >> went public with his own depression made me feel like i could help other people. that's one of the things i know that helps tony, is his ability to help other people makes him feel better. it does the same for me. >> you can do it without shame. you can do it without shame. >> yes, yeah, i can. i'm actually glad that i am who i am. right now i reached that point because i wouldn't have the certainty and the outlook that i have on life were i not mentally ill. >> we met backstage he was sharing with me, i have this
8:45 am
show. i said, i'm a nine-holer, i barely play golf. he said, actually i'm an alcoholic, a drug addict. it makes me more interesting. i think finding to use whatever you have had in your life as an asset that makes you unique and special to give you the power. he's taken his demon and turned it really into a device that helps him go deeper with people. >> the great thing about his program, you have a feeling he's dealing with complete honesty and dealing with the moment. >> yeah. >> well, i'm fortunate in that the skeletons in my cupboard, i threw them all out. i should run for political office because it's shined up -- >> i already told you that. >> yeah. >> if do you it, it's more likely more people are willing to come to the same place. >> sure. it's been tremendously therapeutic to me. i don't care about that. >> don't care about -- >> coming in. you do get people to open up on a way. i read this, one of your goals
8:46 am
with your show is to really give us something we didn't know before, to get them to open up. is there one thing in particular that stands out to you where you said, that was it, that was exactly what i was going for? >> well, i've just done president clinton, samuel l. jackson and donald trump yesterday. it's just interesting to hear about their childhoods, you know, where they came from, what influenced them. and those are the things that i think most people don't know. you know, just how your formative years, you know, they really affect who you turn out to be and what it looks like to other people. but what it looks like to other people isn't necessarily what it is. that's what i'm looking for, the man behind the mask. >> the woman behind the makeup. whatever way you want to call it. >> behind the makeup. >> yikes. >> but you're still covering golf. >> i'll be at the masters next week, my 15th i think on the air.
8:47 am
and it's -- it's the greatest golf tournament in the world. and we have tiger back in form. what more could you ask for? >> before you came on they said, he's very charming. they were absolutely right about you, david. very charming. >> he's got a great heart. he really cares. he really does. >> sure. >> great to have you both with us. thanks again. you can see "feherty" monday nights on the golf channel and cbs will be covering the final two rounds of the masters right here on cbs. if you're planning a cruise, don't cancel and don't get sick on board. that's not a good thing. that's on peter greensburg's five list of things cruise lines won't tell you. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

♪ the idea of a cruise may be rather romantic and fun, but once we set sail, once a warning, it may not be the love boat. >> peter greenberg is here to help us navigate through the five things cruise lines don't want you to know. let's start with cancellation policy. >> that's a tough ones. most cruise lines have a cancellation policy if you're draconi draconian. if you don't cancel within 50 to 60 days of the cruise, you don't get half your money back. some make it up to 120 days. you have to get a different insurance policy if you're to cancel for any reason, or you'll be out of money. >> get a het hefty insurance. you say the port of calls are not guaranteed. that's a big surprise to me. >> forget the brochure. if it's within the cruise line's control, like mechanical defect before they sail, you may have rights. after that, they can substitute
8:51 am
a port or cancel a port for any reason. >> what if you get sick? >> well, remember the love boat? remember doc? he ain't free. and the problem is, even going to get an aspirin on a cruise ship can set you back a lot of money. remember this, doctors on cruise ship, it's not a floating icu. they're only there to stabilize you. >> your insurance? >> your insurance doesn't recover you at all. you need evacuation insurance to get you off that ship at all. >> insurance doesn't cover you why? >> because you're outside the continental united states. >> inclusive, is it really worth it? i've always heard mixed things. >> any time you see the word inclusive followed by an asterisk, you run. cruise liners telling you, all you can drink packages for $49. you can make it worth it and it's not cost effective. don't buy the package. >> you don't drink, drink, drink the whole time? >> depends on how bad the cruise
8:52 am
is. >> that is true. >> and then cell phones? >> yeah, this is a big one. a lot of people think when you use your cell phone, it's your regular cell phone but if it looks for a cell simpt nearest cell is on the ship, you're paying international roaming charges. if you can see the ship, even if you're on the ship looking at land, don't use your cell phone. wait until you get on port, get away from the ship and get a regular cell phone call. >> are you suggesting we do or do not go on cruise lines? >> i'm on them all the time. they're incredibly safe. >> for pleasure or work? >> i'm always working, charlie. always working. >> they have to do something with the cancellation. a friend of mine's dad died before the cruise. even when they tell you that, they refuse to give the money back. >> in my 20 seconds, the nor row virus, i'm convinced that that's really because of the cancellation policies because people are boarding a ship already sick because they don't want to lose their money. >> peter, thank you so much. that does it for us. up next, your local news.

we'll see tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning." see you then.
