>> god, i hope so. i got to get there first. a lot of it is based on my surgeons and doctors and therapists making sure i do it correctly. this is the only back i got. >> reporter: reaction across the sports world came quickly across social media and from his fellow professional golfers. >> i'm sick to my stomach, you know. it hurts to see one of your -- i mean now my closest friends, you know, get in an accident. man, i just hope he's all right. just worried for his kids, you know. i'm sure they're struggling. >> reporter: and shock from the entertainment world. before news of the crash, three different celebrities had posted photos golfing with woods. among them, this video from former nba star dwyane wade. >> tiger, thank you for teaching me something. >> reporter: an iconic athlete who broke barriers both in sports and culture for decades now faces another challenge. >> kyung lah joins me now. kyung, good evening to you. josh campbell with us as well at harbor-ucla medical center. josh was on in the previous hour. kyung, the sheriff's department giving a lot of detail about the accident, including this specific stretch of road. what are they saying about that? >> reporter: well, this is an area known for having speed issues. and if you look at an actual map of where this crash happened, rancho palos verdes is right next to a community known as rolling hills. this is an area with a lot of hills, with a lot of grading issues. and this particular roadway had such speed issues because of the grading that they had two truck pulloffs. i want you to listen to the description of this particular roadway. >> that specific stretch of roadway is one of our trouble spots. our locals in rancho palos verdess and rolling hills estates know it's a hot spot for traffic collisions as well as speed. in my experience as a deputy who is traffic trained and works a traffic car, i have seen many collisions. the nature of his vehicle, the fact that he was wearing a seat belt, i would say that it greatly increased the likelihood that it saved his life. >> reporter: this early in the investigation, don, certainly they can't say that speed is a factor. but i want to remind you what you heard from the sheriff's department, that there were no brakes, and there were no skid marks at the scene of this accident, don. >> let's go to josh now. josh, let's talk about you're at the hospital. what's the latest on tiger's condition? >> reporter: at this hour, don, he's recovering from those very serious injuries that were inflicted after that car accident. behind me, he was taken to the local level one trauma center here. this is harbor-ucla medical center that services the south bay area. just to give you a sense of some of these injuries, we heard from law enforcement sources earlier in the day that he had likely received a compound fracture to one or perhaps both of his legs. our colleagues at the "los angeles times" are reporting tonight that those injuries also include a shattered ankle, two broken legs, two fractured legs. so, again, very, very serious injuries. as you look at those images of that suv that rolled over, it's nothing short of a miracle that these injuries weren't more severe and perhaps fatal in the words of authorities when you look at this vehicle going downhill at a high rate of speed, crossing over into a median, into a wooded area. again, just remarkable that these injuries weren't more serious. nevertheless, tiger woods is here tonight at this level one trauma center recovering, don. >> that vehicle was just demolished. we're looking at the pictures now, josh. you're right about that. woods had just undergone his fifth back surgery earlier this year. what was his condition like before this accident? >> reporter: you know, tiger woods is no stranger to injuries. he's talked at length about some of the injuries that have occurred throughout his career. he underwent back surgery last month as you mentioned, the fifth back surgery of his career. he spoke with cbs this past weekend, and he was asked whether or not he would actually be well enough to take part in the masters, which is set to take place at augusta in april. he said that he hoped that he would be. of course now this races serious questions about what his condition will be, especially after receiving these serious injuries in l.a. >> thank you so much. i appreciate your reporting. now i want to bring in sports broadcasting legend mr. bob costas. bob, good to see you. wish it was better conditions that we got to speak tonight. but here we are. you have covered tiger for decades. >> yep. >> what did you think when you heard about this crash, and what do you think now? >> well, i'm not going to draw any conclusions about what led to the crash or what tiger's state of mind might have been or anything else. all of that will become clear you in the ensuing days. we've actually gotten more clarity over the last few hours than we had when the story first broke. so my first thought was the same as yours, and just about everybody else's. oh, my gosh, look at the visual. look at the condition the car is in. i hope these injuries aren't life-threatening or in some way where it would impair him going forward as a person, not so much as a golfer, but as a person. it now appears clear that even though these are traumatic injuries, he will be able to lead a normal life. whether he will be able to resume a golf career is very much in doubt. that was in doubt already because at age 45, he'd had the five back surgeries. he'd had other surgeries to his leg. he was a guy who was not nearly what he was at his peak and hoping just to get back and be able to compete. so that was in doubt to begin with, and now it's in very, very severe doubt. >> you think about it. five back surgeries, bob. i mean that is -- that is a lot. in the arc of tiger's career, how does this crash stack up against the -- he's faced so many challenges. how does this stack up? >> again, we don't know his exact condition. once he comes through surgery and comes through rehab, obviously he won't play any golf this year. i guess anything's in the realm of possibility. if you're just talking about his competitive heart and his willingness to accept a challenge, that's not in question. but this may not be a challenge that is surmountable in terms of his coming back to compete. as i mentioned earlier on various other cnn programs, his excellence is one thing. it's beyond excellence. he's among the all-time elite in any sport. and obviously he has personal charisma and magnetism. but on top of that, his story now takes on such texture. even without this chapter, what he represented, even though he wasn't like a muhammud ali or an arthur ashe or lebron now or kareem and others you could mention, he wasn't specifically issue-oriented, but his mere presence, especially at the beginning of his career, was symbolically important. so there was always that. and then he had the scandal, and he had to come back from the humiliation of that. then he had the physical challenges. and where once it seemed to be an almost foregone conclusion when he won 14 majors in barely more than a decade and he was still only in his 30s, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that he'd zoom past jack nicklaus' 18. now it appears fairly certain that 15 is going to be the number. but think of what the 15th was. a decade after his life and his career came tumbling down and after he had fallen out of the top rankings, he comes back and wins not just a major but wins at augusta, the most magnificent and historic of all stages. he has that. as i said to jake tapper earlier, if you were shooting a movie about tiger woods' life, the closing scene would not be this car accident, and it wouldn't be the way his life came crashing down around him in 2009. it would be that moment on the 18th green at augusta in 2019. >> a couple things here. you said that his presence was symbolically significant, right? >> mm-hmm. >> so let's talk about that and talk about, you know, his wins. that was 2015. he broke racial barriers with his success, no doubt. what did it mean, though, to see him, bob, put on that green jacket for the first time in 1997? >> well, i mentioned this with john berman a few hours ago, so i apologize to those for whom this will be repetitive. but the first african-american member was admitted at augusta in 1990, only seven years before tiger woods wins the masters. there had been other notable black golfers, lee elder, charlie siffert among them, but none with the competitive success and presence of tiger woods. so now here's tiger woods not only winning, basically his coming out party to the world, not only winning but shattering the masters record in the process, blowing the field away. when he comes walking up that 18th fairway, anybody who is paying attention and knows any of the back story has to be struck by the symbolism. there was about augusta, which i want to say is magnificent in many ways, there's a southern jen jen tillity in the best sense. >> i've gone a number of times. not even to mention the food, but go on. >> yeah. it's a thrill to play the course, et cetera, et cetera. all the history. but there was for a very long time echos of the antebellum south and the jim crow south. none of the players were black, but all of the caddies were black. all of the members were white men. they didn't have a female member until -- i don't know -- 2010, somewhere around there. but all of the staff virtually were black. so the symbolism of this black man prevailing over an entirely white field in that setting, he didn't have to take a stand. his mere presence said something. >> yeah. bob costas, thank you so much. i appreciate you being on. it doesn't matter. those other guys don't count. it's just this show that counts. thank you, bob. i appreciate it. >> that's what jill thinks too, don. >> jill's his wife, and i'm her favorite, so i like that. at least i'm someone's favorite besides my mom. thank you very much. tell jill i said hello. tiger woods is a superstar in a sport that is overwhelmingly white. so what will his accident mean for his legacy? we'll discuss. >> weren't expecting anything like that to happen, but from everything i know about tiger, i'm sure he will recover, and he will do everything in his power to come back. i'm sure he will. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. so tiger woods is in the hospital tonight after suffering compound fractures in his legs from a rollover crash in his suv. the scary images causing people around the world to reflect on his outsized impact on sports and culture. so let's discuss now. the staff writer at the atlantic jemele hill joins me now. thank you so much for joining. tiger woods, person of color, has dominated in a sport that's overwhelmingly white. talk to me about the impact he's had as a game-changer. >> it's been really significant. i mean i think it not only gave the game a different look but also a different feel. i mean there was a lot of things that tiger woods brought to the sport of golf besides his melanin. you know, you think about how golfers train now. tiger woods was in excellent shape, training and diet and strength really meant a lot to him. and suddenly you saw a lot of the younger golfers begin to pattern their habits after tiger woods because he was so meticulous. he even talked about being worried about overtraining because he actually trained with some navy s.e.a.l.s at one point. that's how seriously he took it. that's how much of a competitor that he was. but he gave the sport some much needed juice. obviously he brought a different audience to it because suddenly you had black people watching golf that wasn't watching golf before. and it just gave everything just a different texture. through that, through his lens and through his success and through his excellence, you know, people were able to point to some very problematic areas and blind spots that golf had. and, you know, they owe him for that. >> yeah. but what about society at large and when it comes to even race or social issues? >> well, i mean, i think there is no question that when it comes to, you know, black people in general, people of color, they tend to put us in a box, and the idea of him being a very dominant, successful golfer, i mean he wasn't just successful. i think people really as time goes on underestimate how dominating he was. we're talking about somebody who at one point held all the major championships. 82 pga tour victories, five masters. this was something you will never see again. i mean i remember when i was at espn, and whenever tiger was in a major tournament, the legitimate question we would ask and debate, is tiger or the field? and most times we took tiger. that doesn't happen in golf, right? so i think that through his excellence that people were able to view not just black people in a different way but also black men in particular. and so it just really -- you know, it really just brought home just kind of a transcendent effect that he had on all of professional athletics with his excellence. >> but also he weathered storms and then, you know, had a comeback. and obviously he's human, but there was this what some would call an epic fall from grace. this was in 2009 after his affairs came to light. led to divorce, rehab, and so on. and then this apology. watch this. >> i know i have bitterly disappointed all of you. i have made you question who i am and how i could have done the things i did. i'm embarrassed that i have put you in this position. for all that i have done, i am so sorry. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable, and i am the only person to blame. >> it's interesting. i mean many people remember where they were. i remember being in the newsroom and watching that. that changed him. how did that change -- how did he change after that experience? >> well, i just got to keep it real with you, i mean as i always do anyway. when we think about this man actually having to go on a national platform. >> right. i know what you're going to say. >> it's like, dude -- >> come on now. >> if professional athletes had to apologize every time they cheated, don, you would never have a show. they'd be on air all day. and really that's an indictment of us. >> but every time people who are not athletes cheated, but just the average person, that's why people get divorces. people cheat all the time. but go on. i'm sorry to interrupt. >> i say all that to say, is that that was an unfortunate lesson that tiger woods had to learn. and unfortunately for a lot of black athletes who get to his level of success, there's going to come a moment where they're coming for you. and to think that if the worst thing you have on tiger woods' resume is that he cheated -- and this is not to belittle what this did to his family or for that matter what it may have done to his former wife. i'm not belittling that. what i am saying is we have seen a lot worse, and the way that got treated is a study into media in itself. and it was a humbling for him, but it was a humbling that certain people seemed very interested in seeing happen given his level and rise and success. and i'm not saying that it wasn't a story. but, again, let's just put this into context. somebody apologized, held a media news conference for cheating. that's what it was. i'm just saying, don. that's what it was. >> that's why we love having you on. again, but you're right. it's not to say it didn't have an impact on his family and his wife, but i understand what you're saying. there's a perspective, right? >> i mean, don, think about this. there were sponsors that dropped him over that. over that! it's like come on, man. like all right. okay. you know? >> jemele, love having you. thank you. >> always a pleasure, don. speaking out for the first time, the people responsible for keeping the capitol safe testifying on the hill today. >> i was just stunned that, you know, i have officers that were out there literally fighting for their lives, and, you know, we're kind of going through what seemed like an exercise to really check the boxes. and it's building up in your septic tank. but monthly usage of rid-x is scientifically proven to break down waste. maintain your septic tank with rid-x. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor?

(soft music) ♪ hello, colonial penn? the senate holding its first public hearing on the disastrous response to the capitol insurrection. former capitol police chief steven sund testifying he never saw an fbi report warning of a violent war at the capitol on january 6th. multiple witnesses are pointing fingers at federal law enforcement and the defense department for intelligence failures and communication breakdown. let's discuss now. former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe is here. he's now a senior cnn law enforcement analyst. thank you so much for joining. the former capitol police chief saying that he never got the fbi warning about the january 6th attack. it seems like a massive security failure. how did this fall through the cracks? how can someone who is the chief, how can the brass not get a memo that was so important that led to such disastrous results? >> don, we're not talking about some random, raw intelligence memo that comes in that nobody has context for. we're talking about the night before the event, you get a red-hot memo from one of our field offices that indicates a very alarming chatter going on, on social media. okay. it was not attributable to a specific person, but still very concerning statements being made. there's a lot of questions that have yet to be answered despite today's hearing about how that memorandum was transmitted to the capitol police and what the capitol police did with it when they got it. from the fbi side, you know, we like to rely on our normal systems to process intelligence in the normal ways. in this case that would be handing it off to the u.s. capitol police representative on the joint terrorism task force. but this is the night before the protest. you get a memo like that, you pick up the phone and you call your counterpart, the chief at the u.s. capitol police, and let him know what you've seen. so some good questions to be asked to the fbi next week about why that maybe didn't happen. >> as i'm watching this, could it just -- and been reporting on it since the beginning, could it just be that the brass thought that since it was trump supporters, that they had an affinity for law enforcement and that they would not do what they eventually did at the capitol? could it just be as simple as that and everyone's doing this, pointing their fingers at everyone else? >> it very well could be. so, don, if i'm running the fbi today, i have great concerns about that, and i would be asking three questions. the first question is, are we collecting the right intelligence about this domestic extremist threat in the united states? there was all kinds of information out there that people were really getting ramped up for this, for this protest, and was the fbi aware of it? second, with the intelligence we're collecting, are we making the right assessments? that gets to the heart of the question that you're asking. were assumptions made? did they think that because these were mostly, you know, political supporters of the president that they didn't have too much to worry about? did they place too much emphasis on the fact that they didn't have any sign that there would be counterprotesters, so therefore they thought the whole thing would be peaceful? those are the kinds of questions i'd be asking. the final question is how are we communicating what we know to our partners? i think we now know that wasn't done very well here. >> shouldn't capitol hill security ask all the people who testified today, shouldn't they have seen it coming? >> they should have had a better view of the intelligence that appears to have been available, and they should have taken much more stringent measures to protect that capitol. i think senator maggie hassan had one of the best questions today when she asked, why didn't the department of homeland security declare this event a national special security event, an nsse? simply by doing that would have ramped the preparation and the coordination way up, probably to a level that would have prevented this attack? it's a good question to be asked of dhs as to why they didn't take that step. >> also why did they have so much security in other places i'm told, like malls and that sort of thing when the threat which came from, you know, the threat assessment said this was all going to happen at the capitol and it was pre-planned. officials are confirming today as well that excite supremacists were involved in this insurrection, and we have known that they are a serious threat for a while. is enough being done to stop these domestic terrorists, andrew? >> don, we are clearly in the middle of a wave of domestic terrorist extremism, and particularly right-leaning groupsgr grgr groups, racially motivated groups, anti-government groups. director wray testified to that effect last summer in front of congress. the question is what are we doing about it? i think it's time we brought the same sort of intensity of focus and commitment to the domestic terrorism, extremist issue as we did to the international terrorism issues after 9/11. it is time to really acknowledge that this is our biggest threat internally on the terrorism side right now, and we need to do something about it. >> why is it so hard for that to happen? because the fbi has been saying that for years now, and people still don't take it seriously. what is going on? >> well, you have to ask, don, whether some of that reluctance is based on the well-known, often reported fact that our former president did not want to hear about this threat. i mean there is no coincidence that some of these same extremist groups are big supporters of -- were big supporters of president trump and conservative causes. so is there a political motivation to kind of turning a blind eye to the significance of this threat? i think that's something we need to get to the bottom of. we're not going to do that with a senate hearing. we need a dedicated, bipartisan commission to really peel back this onion. >> thank you very much, sir. i appreciate it. so he lost the white house and the senate, but republicans still won't give him up. they can't quit him. what pence is saying about trump tonight. that's next. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?

okay. trump supporters were screaming, "hang mike pence." pence says that he maintains a close personal friendship with the former president and plans to launch a political organization to defend the trump administration's record. you can't make this up. brendan buck is here. former top aide to paul ryan, and amanda carpenter, former communications director for senator ted cruz. you've had a good week, amanda. oh, my gosh. okay. so good evening to both of you. amanda, trump knew his v.p. was in danger on january 6th. he did nothing about it. pence is still crawling back. what does that say about trump's grip on the gop? what is going on? >> yeah. everyone was hyping this civil war that was coming, and it was never going to happen. as long as donald trump is around, there is no internal debate. there is only surrender after surrender after surrender. look at mike pence. i mean i knew the whole time that his silence was going to be strategic. we really could have used him to maybe speak out through impeachment considering he was both someone who witnessed firsthand all the events that led up to the insurrection and then became a target of it. that would have been a good time for him to provide some testimony, but he didn't because ultimately he still cares about political power. and that's what's so disturbing. i just can't get around the fact like, okay. he's not really going to defend himself, but he still wants to be in some position of political power when he's not going to defend anyone else because these problems aren't going away. so that's just where i'm so disturbed by the whole thing. >> i just wonder what that power is because he's not going to be president. maybe he thinks in his head that he's going to be, but his -- really his actions have been cowardly, especially when it comes to this. brendan, i want you to take a listen to what liz cheney said today about january 6th. >> what happened on that day must never happen again, and we must not look away or trivialize it. it's very important for us, especially as republicans, to make clear that we aren't the party of white supremacy. you certainly saw anti-semitism. you saw the symbols of holocaust denial, for example, at the capitol that day. you saw a confederate flag being carried through the rotunda. and i think we as republicans in particular have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection. >> as you know, brendan, according to ron johnson, none of that happened, right? none of what liz cheney is saying is true. do you think republicans will listen? where are more of the liz cheneys in your party? >> yeah, she's fighting a lonely fight, and god bless her. i thank her for doing it. look, there are a lot of republicans who have a few incentives here to really dismiss this event from anyone's memory. one, of course, they want to eliminate their culpability in bringing it on and challenging the electoral college. they also know that donald trump's biggest liability to get re-elected president, which they all seem interested in helping him do now for whatever reason, is the events of january 6th. i think that that will be the biggest hurdle he's going to have to get over to become president again. so you're already seeing obviously with ron johnson but also conservative media are trying to really have everybody basically forget what happened, minimize what happened so that when this all comes back around, oh, that's old news. oh, it wasn't so bad. you know, let's forget about it. let's move on. let's unite, all those things. now, i think you can't -- what liz cheney said is so fundamental for more than republican politics. it's fundamental for the country. but there aren't a lot of liz cheneys right now because it's political suicide to be running out and criticizing the president. and even if you don't want to criticize the president, when you are a party that is basically operating on working to only get working-class white voters, you don't have a lot of margins to write off people. now, i don't think most republicans want white supremacists' votes, but a lot of them seem to think it's okay to just accept them because you're operating under such narrow political margins that you can't write anybody off. >> very good point. that's going to have to be it. i'm sorry. our time is short tonight. i appreciate it. she could be the first native american to be a cabinet secretary, but republicans are all of a sudden worried about a tweet. they're concerned about tweets now. okay. a friend of the interior secretary nominee deb haaland speaks out next. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor?
