i'm erica hill. magic johnson is buying dodgers p as we do every morning, we have a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. get down chaos in the cabin after a pilot melts down midflight. >> the pilot began ranting incoherent and was locked out of the cockpit by the co-pilot. >> he was banging on the door saying, let me in, let me? >> he had to be wrestled to the ground. >> passengers said he was screaming about a bomb on board and al qaeda. >> it was time to take action. >> the biggest day at the supreme court since bush versus gor. >> they run into a roadblock. >> it's the federal government can do this, they can force us to do anything.
7:02 am
a wildfire burning out of control in colorado is being blamed for two deaths and a third person is missing. >> magic johnson buy the dodgers. if you forgot to buy a mega million lottery ticket, good news this morning, no winner. they had to bring out the big guns to stop a high-speed chase in ail bucc. the suspects stole an empty school bus. >> all that -- >> now, did you ever think that we'd be talking about porn? i mean, with all the other things in this election -- >> i didn't know we were talking about porn. >> no, we're not talking about porn. >> and all that matters. >> is gingrich's bid for the presidency, is it nearing the end of days? >> on "cbs this morning." >> he's not backing out of the gop race. you could tell. had gingrich backs out you usually here this.
7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." jetblue pilot clayton osbon is hospitalized in amarillo, texas. he could be the first captain charged with interfering with a flight. he had to be subdued by passengers and flight attendants while his co-pilot made an emergency landing. >> we'll speak with two passengers. lee koehn is in las vegas at the flight's destination originally with more on this strange incident. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. yeah, jetblue flight 191 on its way from new york to here, las vegas, it was supposed to be a routine nonstop flight that turned out to be anything but. passengers found themselves making an emergency landing in amarillo, texas, instead, and tied up at the front of the plane on the floor outside the cockpit was the man who was supposed to be flying that flight.
7:04 am
ever since 9/11 the thought of someone storming a cockpit has been a worst case scenario. high above texas tuesday afternoon, some jetblue passengers feared it was happening all over again. >> all of a sudden the guy darts down the aisle wearing what appeared to be a jetblue uniform. >> reporter: it was a jetblue uniform. in it was the captain, clayton osbon, veteran pilot. why he was out of the cockpit passengers didn't know. what they did know, something was wrong. >> he was banging on the door, yelling at the first officer, bring me throttle to idle, we're going down, we're all going to die, pray to jesus. open the door. >> reporter: a flight attendant tried to intervene and found out she was no match for his strength. >> we're talking about a guy 6'4", 260.
7:05 am
>> reporter: nerves were raw. >> there was a lady praying the whole time. she grabbed me. i think because of her i calmed down. i didn't know where i was going, but i was ready to run. >> reporter: but then it seemed to get worse. passengers say osbon tried to reach for the exit. >> i said, i can't let this guy open the door. i said, what's your problem? he said, you got to pray to god. you got to pray to god. he says, i ran in iraq. i said, i don't have time for that. i just choked him. >> reporter: he wasn't the only one. >> a couple guys took him down? >> we had to subdue the guy, about six of us, got him by his arms, his arms, legs, head, face. >> reporter: inside the cockpit, the co-pilot who said the faa intentionally locked osbon out because of his bizarre behavior,
7:06 am
asking for emergency landing. it took almost 30 minutes, passengers were holding, still holding the struggling captain down. >> i would we would are went down. >> reporter: the pilot was taken to a hospital, restrained and still talking jibberish about the flight crew and passengers nursed wounds. it could have been much worse. now, investigators are looking at the captain's history as well as medical history on top of that to see exactly what caused this meltdown and to see what charges, if any, they apply here. >> lee, thank you so much. after the commotion aboard flight 191 the passengers finally arrived in las vegas on a different plane last night, six hours late. let's go back to mccarron airport and talk with two passengers. good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> you were there. we have heard much about this, but you saw it and you felt it. tell us what happened.
7:07 am
>> well, the pilot -- the captain came out of the cockpit unannounced and when you fly, you become accustomed to the formalities where they secure the door. that's when something was odd. his behave was erratic. he was very erratic, talking frenetically. that continued to escalate. i think what was a trigger something was going horribly wrong is the crew had prepared an off-duty pilot to move into the cockpit. so when the captain that was in distress went into the rest room, that co-pilot was quickly moved into the cockpit. that was, i think, in my mind a trigger that something was about to go horribly wrong. thing just escalated from that point. to such a time where he tried gaining access back into the cockpit. that's when, i guess, impulsively the four of us just jumped up and grabbed him and, you know, pulled him away from the cockpit door.
7:08 am
and he 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. >> and when you did that, was it out of instinct or were you reminded, were you thinking about anything? >> well, frankly, having the experience and tragedies of 9/11, being a retired sergeant with the new york city police department, training immediately kicked in. when i initially approached the man wearing a uniform that resembled a pilot's uniform, i realized this person was deranged and we had to take swift action otherwise there could be dire consequences. >> you're talking about how your training kicked in, being an nypd sergeant, but you look at the sheer size of this man. one man described him as 6'4",
7:09 am
260 pound, solid as a rock. was there a moment as the four of you jumped into action thinking, we don't know if we can keep this guy contained? as i understand, he broke through some of the plastic ties you were given. >> excellent point. there was serious concern. i tried to put restraints on his wrist. there were inferior quality and defective. the pilot -- the stewardess handed up two sets of zip tie, i believe they're called, and neither 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 coordination and cooperation of the other passengers involved in this, we were able to prevent a tragedy. >> and everybody else seemed to have kept their calm. paul, you mentioned you fly a
7:10 am
lot. at what point did you realize there was another captain on the plane? you said you saw him get ready and prepare 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 they put up. one of the flight attendants walked back, that captain was sitting three rows behind me, and i saw them moving him around and talking to him. he came into the aisle -- i'm sorry, we saw the distressed captain go into the rest room near the cockpit and the passenger door opened, the co-pilot quickly went into the cockpit and, you know, as quick as it happened. you know, really i think a couple thing should be noted here. the co-pilot really had the instinct. he is the hero row. he had the instinct to realize something was going wrong and get him out of the cockpit.
7:11 am
and the crew did a great job preparing the off-duty co-pie lot to get him into the cockpit to make sure the plane was -- >> let me interrupt you and ask you one question that's interesting to me. did he ever change his manner or mindset after he was subdued? did he ever say anything rational during the time you subdued him and the time the plane landed? >> no, he did not. >> he did not. actually, i tried to coordinate that where i insisted upon everyone we detained him on the ground not to engage him in any way. a disturbed person. frankly, you don't want to agitate them. you don't know what you'll say to set him off. in the best about and safety of everyone, i said, let's not talk to him, be quiet until the plane lands safely. >> good to have you both with us this morning. good that you're both safely on the ground. thanks much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for having me.
7:12 am
of course, captain sullenberger is no stranger to danger in the sky, joining us from vancouver, canada. sul y good to have you with us. passengers we just spoke with, says the co-pilot is the real hero, they cite the crew. but when you fly with someone, you're not with that co-pilot all the time. so, 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 trained to a very high professional of standard and you have to understand the working life of a pilot is like. you're locked in a cubicle 15 hours a day so every enter interaction, everything you notice about them. if something is amiss, it will be picked up on. >> the co-pilot is certainly the
7:13 am
hero, as two of the people we just talked to said, wonder how he -- wonder how he got the pilot to leave the cabin. >> i don't know. perhaps he suggested that he needed to go to the bathroom or something in the cabin needed to be checked. we'll have to find out. but it was a wise choice. 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 get another relief pilot in that was a passenger and land the plane quickly and swiftly. >> will this change anything about how people go about dealing with this kind of an emergency? >> well, this is really -- this is a really extraordinarily rare sort of thing. in fact, in my entire airline career i don't remember ever hearing anything remotely like this. but i'm sure we'll improve the system and certainly in recurrent training bring up all kinds of scene air yoes. we have to be prepared for
7:14 am
whatever happens in flight. >> you mention there are medical evaluations you go through one a year. what do they look for? is there anything you learned so far in what we know this morning that maybe one of those evaluations could have been missed. >> well, you know, i think the medical science is that it's very difficult to know with certainty whether an individual is going to have any kind of inka pass tags at any age. we check their history and health in general terms. we have lots of things in place to help prevent this. again, pilots union has professional standards contest, peers trained to deal with anything out of the ordinary. the company itself has procedures. and, of course, the faa is able to come in at any time and require one to demonstrate their competence. this is just an extraordinarily rare event. what's important to note is this first officer was experienced
7:15 am
and qualified to handle the airplane by himself. we need to make sure that's always the case. right now the faa about to publish in the next several months new minimum flight requirements for first officers. it's important 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 up to 1500 hours. there's industry pressure to water it down. >> it ought to be said this is one more time, as it was with you, in which a pilot or co-pilot knew what to do in a difficult circumstance. that says something about the training of people who are flying for us today. thank you very much. >> you're welcome, charlie. ahead in our next hour, senior correspondent john miller will have more on the investigation of this incident and what he's heard from his sources. we'll take a look at possible charges captain osbon may be facing. today is final day of oral argument at the supreme court. on tuesday, all indications were
7:16 am
that the justices are split along familiar lines. chief legal correspondent jan crawford is at the supreme court this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. from the beginning, the president's health care law, especially that individual mandate requiring people to buy health insurance, has deeply divided america. tuesday it dwoided the justices as well. although, if they were voting today, it looks like a majority is ready to throw it out. outside 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: inside the court, cornerstone of the law, individual mandate that requires all americans to buy insurance, came under fire. >> what is left? if the government can do this, what else can it not do? >> reporter: conservative justices, justice kennedy, suggested the law went too far, giving congress broad mu powers
7:17 am
to dictate behavior. >> that's different from previous cases. that changes the relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very fundamental way. >> reporter: tough questions for leading opponents of the law raising concern that the government didn't make its case, putting the law in yepd. some are going so far as to point the finger at solicitor general of the united states, who represented the government before the court. but the justices always hammer lawyers on the other side with tough questions. and justices who are sympathetic jump in and try to help out 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 i have talked about thought their clear indication that, in fact, this individual mandate might be ruled unconstitutional. many thinks can change before they come together.
7:18 am
but that is the consensus in the courtroom, from what i have heard or observed. >> reporter: charlie, very tough questions from conservative justices yesterday and that key swing vote, justice kennedy, who will provide the decisive fifth vote for the majority. think about what they're going to do now. they're going to go become and talk about this case between themselves, start writing opinions and they can change their minds. justice kennedy has done it before more than once. the thing, though, that i'd like to say is rib ral justices are 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 expected of causing two deaths remains totally out 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 miss pentagon thousands have been forced to
7:19 am
evacuate and residents of 6500 other homes have been told they need to be ready to leave. kind of show you some of the morning's headlines around the world. rupert murdoch's news corporation was behind a wave of high-tech piracy against other paid tv companies in australia. australian financial review conducted a four-year investigation. it found a secretive group had dirty tricks that devastated news corps' competition. fidel castro plans to meet with pope benedict. yesterday pope visited with raul castro, fidel's brother. a group headed by magic johnson has a deal to buy the trubled los angeles dodgers. the price, $2 billion, a record for a sports franchise. magic says he's thrilled to be part of the historic dodger franchise. maybe you could have had a hot but, alas, nobody won mega

7:31 am
good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. what's clear here is that the special prosecutor and her team are pretty much starting from scratch. a sanford police were never able to build a criminal case against george zimmerman the original prosecutor thought was winnable, so trayvon martin's parents are still waiting for answers. they took their plea to washington. they thanked democratic lawmakers for their support. >> as i said before, and i'll say it again, trayvon was our son. trayvon is your son. >> reporter: the 17-year-old martin has been dead for a month and george zimmerman, his admitted killer, still remains free. the crime watch volunteer told martin beat him and he was forced to shoot the unarmed teen in self-defense. lead investigator seen on the right pursued manslaughter charges but was told there wasn't enough evidence. now acting sanford police chief

7:41 am
listening to the radio are equally as distracting to one on the cell phone. the debate is ongoing. >> distraction is the thing to wo good morning, it is a beautiful sun rise, mixture of clouds and sun now and through the day. mid-upper 40s now, going for a 77 degree high. we are going to watch for a chance for afternoon and/or evening thunderstorms, cold front comes through the area. still mild though tomorrow morning. it is going to be about 8-9 degrees warmer than this morning, which was 10 degrees warmer than yesterday morning, 62 tomorrow. we will keep it at 62 on friday. you may not risk taking a drug that hasn't been tested for safety, so then why would doctors implant devices into a person's body when those devices have had little or no testing? we have the results this morning of a revealing new investigation. stay with us. you're watching krbs "cbs this

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
7:49 am
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, the courageous defender of george zimmerman just walked out of our studio. >> there's his empty chair in our studio. here's some thing i was going to ask him -- >> all right, all right, the guest isn't there. just going to mention some areas you would have discussed. not enthralling interview. >> who is paying you? who hired you? did you represent him when he was arrested for assault on a police officer? >> he's grilling the chair! note to self, do not go to a kia with lawrence o'donnell. >> so far, aren't we happy to report no one has ever walked out. we have not had to interview an
8:01 am
empty chair yet. >> not yet. >> not yet. >> then we'll just talk to each other. the advantage of having more than one person at the table. >> there you go. >> took the words out of your mouth, didn't i? >> you did. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose with erica -- >> hill. >> hill. >> we've been reporting 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. national correspondent lee koehn is in las vegas where flight 191 was originally scheduled to land. >> reporter: the passengers are just counting their blessings after tackling the man who was supposed to be flying their flight. the incident began midflight.
8:02 am
kay :osbon's co-pilot suggested somehow he exit the cockpit. at at the same time he arranged for another jetblue pilot flying as a passenger while osbon was outside the cockpit. osbon returned to find the door to the cockpit intentionally locked and that's when his behavior escalated. >> he's banging on the door, yelling at the first officer. i think his name was steve. bring throttle to idle, bring it to idle, we're going to die, pray to jesus. >> reporter: flight attendants and passengers worked together to subdue osbon and assure passengers seated further back in the plane that was not being hijacked. >> the stewardesses got close to him. >> reporter: an emergency landing was made in amarillo, texas, where osbon was finally taking into can custody. the pilot called it a medical
8:03 am
reason, database shows he has no known association with with any terrorist group. if the pilot is charged, it would be the first time a pilot has ever been 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. >> hello. >> i'm a nervous floir. i look at all the passengers, the exit, i imagine scenarios in my mind. i have never, 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 think, what now will the fbi to do deal with this incident? it's so frightening. >> what they've been doing all night long -- starting midday yesterday. that's a very small office, amarillo, a four-man fbi team that responded directly to the airport.
8:04 am
and then with a lot of help from the amarillo police, they separated 130 passengers. of course, they got everybody's statement, they documented that. and they have a way to reach back to all those people. that was a critical first step. but the rest of the night was figuring out who is -- who are this captain's friends, his family, who is 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. they had to back off and let the doctors do their thing to the point that he'll be a viable interview. >> yeah, that was speaking jibb jibberish. it's one of the things you just don't think the captain, not to make light of it, could go cuckoo for cocoa puffs. one woman said, i wanted to run, i didn't know where. the new york guy 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, pilots go through psychological training? >> they go through psychological testing, they go through drug testing, 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. so, 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 incoherent. i know you spoke to jetblue security this morning. was there any indication when this started? any signs we know before the cockpit door was 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. i mean, this is actually -- here is a guy who realizes this guy is acting abnormally, his physical mannerisms, the things
8:06 am
he's saying, a couple hours into the flight and this is building. he very calmly convinces him to go out of the cockpit. hes, why don't you splash a little water on your face in the men's room and then he locks the door, figures out the dead head pilot, gets him up there, change the combination on the door. there's a lot of thinking on your feet going on with that co-pilot, who managed to not get in an argument or challenge this guy but diffuse the incident. >> two things i don't understand. number one, what was the conversation in the cockpit with the co-pilot? >> 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. that's one of the critical thing they'll be looking at today. 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 -- >> the fbi is the fbi. they know how to find out the behavior of somebody and if they
8:07 am
have a medical issue -- >> the issue is it's not a yes or no answer. it's one of those things, does he have a wife over here? a cousin in arkansas? a friend that he talks to in chicago? that means leads are sent out and even at 3:00 in the morning, they'll knock on that door. >> exactly. >> the other question is, to what end? 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? that's a possible charge. >> what charges is he facing? >> that's it. federal charge of interfering with a flight crew. 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, medically induced, was this -- they're going to want to know, before i take this charge to a court or 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 got to close with this. the fbi doesn't operate the way we operate. >> we operate the hysterical pace of the next deadline, we need to know now, we need to know it all now. the fbi will go through this in a very methodical way and they will figure out what leads take them to other leads until they have -- >> so they don't say something they'll regret later. >> when this present it to the prosecutor, the prosecutor will have more questions and they'll get the answers to those. so, we could see a charge today based on a probable cause arrest, or the u.s. attorney could defer until they know more. >> not a good time for jetblue. flight attendant, now the captain. yikes. thank you. >> n good morning, it is a beautiful day start. partly sunny skies. i think what you will remember is it is getting hot again, 20 above normal, 77 is the high and it is humid too.

8:15 am
details spilled out, major league baseball realized franc mccourt was running the team with hundreds of millions of dollars of borrowed money. >> they realized the dodgers were in even more per i willous financial straits than they thought. >> reporter: last year franc mccourt went from divorce court to bankruptcy court when the team filed for chapter 11. boys in blue played to a half empty stadium. last fall franc mccourt gave up and agreed to settle the team. now $11 million she gets off the record-breaking $2 billion sales price. >> 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 to valuable? >> sports is really where the money is going because it's the last place where you have an audience that demands to watch
8:16 am
it live and will be subject to the commercials. >> i'm excited. i'm a laker fan and a dodgerer fan. >> reporter: 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. 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. a lot of analysting at different bidders who may end up with the dodgers says magic johnson has it. it's not just magic johnson, you also have sam cassin, former president of the washington nationals and the braves as well. >> and peter guber. >> right, mandalay entertainment. >> does magic have -- he's a wealthy man and an entrepreneurial man, is he more likely just the face? >> we don't know the specifics of what's being paid in. 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. the question is, at what point does it get off so invest in the team because that's what the team desperately needs. >> i remember following all of this story because i'm sort of fascinated with it, a juicy divorce, but all the numbers -- you didn't know that about me, did you? i know. big surprise. with all the numbers and money, i'm surprised there's money left. >> it is surprising there's money left, but you can thank the $2 billion price tag for that. 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. 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? when we come back.

8:31 am
president clinton to -- >> mother teresa. >> mother teresa. >> some kind of guy. on his new show "breakthrough" on own television network, tony is a regular -- he gets regular folks to take their lives back on track after some terrible setbacks. we're pleased to have him here. welcome. >> thank you. >> what's the essence of your message and what will you be doing for these people? >> i think we've all had moments in our lives that matter more than other. moments when you've been struckling with something and all of a sudden something clicks and everything changes. where you won't tolerate what happened in the past, you shift yourself, you tell yourself the truth, you take action. i look at those moments as breakthroughs and i try to help people stack those breakthroughs and building a new identity for themselves, a new way of living. in this show there's so much stress in the world today -- you just saw the pilot today. it's a metaphor for what you see. 6 out of 10 americans say they have extreme stress in their lives today. the economy has played a role and also just the way we live together. we have high expectations, huge
8:32 am
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. we found a couple that went out
8:33 am
for their first wedding and go to mexico and plan this huge thing and jump in the swimming pool fully clothed, tradition, they take pictures, husband goes in, there's blood. they find out he's a quadriplegic on his wedding night. i'm brought in when he's in his room, can't move, watching television, taking drugs each day. she's his full-time nurse. he shings they can't leave the house. that's the end of their life. i've met a lot of people who have been through unbelievable tragedy more than people with able-bodied opportunities. i say, it's the story, our meaning. i can't go in and say, you have a great life, i'm 6'7", everything works for me. i believe beliefs are weak substitutes for experience. i get an experience of not only getting them out of the house, a journey to fiji. and they dropped him -- >> took him skydiving. >> skydiving, murder ball.
8:34 am
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 because i had to know what was
8:35 am
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. there's a passion in aliveness
8:36 am
when people find something that makes them alive. and i always say passion is the genesis of genius. everyone has their own genius but only when it's ignited. >> if you can ignite the passion, then you're doing a hell of a thing for somebody. >> not to be held back by fear. you'll do oprah's life class on monday. she'll be here on monday. >> yeah. that will be great. >> i'm very -- it will be her first time on "cbs this morning." and you're doing the live class. she was telling me about your seminar. i looked at it. you're in new york tomorrow. i want to go but i'm so afraid. i'm not kidding. i looked at it -- i called her and said, it looks great but i'm afraid to go. the fire walking freak ph.d. he out. >> what did she say? >> she said, i'm staying two hours and i'm out of there. 12 hours later she was still there. what do you want us to get out of this seminar? let go of our fears, right? >> not let go of your fears. this idea you're fearless is a lie. courage requires that you're 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. he'll obtain next episode of oprah's life class at 8:00 monday on own. if you love golf, you know david fairty. he knows about attacking that little white ball and other tough problems in life. he's here, too. >> we'll get this man to stick around for david. >> you're going to stay? you'll stay, all right, tony. >> booking on the spot. >> that's what charlie rose does, he

8:40 am
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 confidence, that what the key to
8:41 am
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. it's between here and how quiet
8:42 am
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 well? >> absolutely, it does.
8:43 am
>> 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. and it's -- it's the greatest
8:47 am
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. ,,,,
8:48 am
it's oysternomics 101. ,,,, you start with a u.s. senator named ben. by helping restore thousands of acres of oyster beds, he kept hundreds of oystermen on the job... which keeps wholesalers in business... and that means more delivery companies... making deliveries to more restaurants... which hire more workers. and that means more oystermen. it's like he's out here with us. he's my friend, ben. i hope he's your friend, too.
8:49 am
8:50 am
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 a port or cancel a port for any
8:51 am
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 is. >> that is true.
8:52 am
>> 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
