that we will read for you. quote, we thank everyone for the overwhelming support and messages during this tough time. tiger has undergone a long surgical procedure on his lower right right leg and ankle after being brought to the hospital. according to the hospital's chief doctor, mr. woods suffered significant ort peetic injuries to his lower right extremity that were treated during emergency surgery at harvard l.a. medical center. upper fractures affecting both upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia. additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins and trauma to the muscle and soft tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve swelling because of pressure. the statement overnight said woods was currently awake, responsive, and recovering in his hospital room. it also said there are no further updates and they'll continue to thank everyone for the well wishes and privacy for him and his family. let's begin with cnn chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, a lot of information in that release overnight that we just didn't know. the fact that it was the right leg. the rods and pins inserted, and then dr. faust at brigham women's hospital really focused in on the idea that the pressure needed to be relieved in the soft tissue and the muscles of the leg. what's the significance there? >> yeah, so you know, a couple of things. first of all, we knew some details last night, john. you and i were talking, but that was a snapshot in time, when he was taken to the hospital. you know, he was assessed to make sure he had no other injuries. because you're just not sure after an accident like that, it was a significant accident. are there other injuries that were just not clear at the actual scene? so, first of all, there is the good news in that, in that it doesn't appear that he's had any other sort of injuries to his head, torso, to his chest. all of that, important to note, as bad as this injury is, which i think dr. faust is right. i've spoken to a few orthopedic surgeons about this, as well. there's two simultaneous things they're talking about. one is significant fractures to the lower part of his leg, that's the tib/fib, the tibia, fibula. and it sounds like the nature of those fractures is that they were open. the bone actually broke and protruded through the skin, and that they were in different places on the bone. s so significant fracture there. but also that the injury was so we're that the muscles around those legs started to become sw swollen. and the thing about swollen muscles in a small space is if they continue to swell, it prevents blood flow from coming in and blood from leaving out and the swelling gets worse. you've got to relieve that pressure. you basically open up the outer layers of that muscle to allow that pressure to be relieved. if you don't do that, the concern is that that muscle tissue will die and develop sort of a gangrene-type picture or a picture that might require something where you actually have to remove that muscle or even remove portions of the leg. so it's gruesome to talk about. that's why the doctors did what they had to do. and it sounds like they did it in a pretty timely fashion. now we've got to see how he sort of recovers from all of this. >> that's what i'm interested in, sanjay. what would injuries like that mean for a regular 45-year-old man? what will this do for his -- the future of his mobility and walking? >> you know, i don't know, alisyn. you know, it's interesting, and i've spoken to several people about this, even earlier this morning. i mean, look, you have these remarkable stories of people like alex smith, for example, people may know him, quarterback, had a terrible, what's called a sort of a spiral fracture of that area of the bone, as well. and i don't think a lot of people thought he was going to return, and he did, to professional sports. it's just too hard to say at this point. i think even for the doctors who are caring for him and really looking at him, it's just too speculative. i've got to -- you know, we know tiger woods is the kind of guy that underwent five back operations, significant operations, including a fusion, came back and had this remarkable return to golf. so who knows? when you talk about these types of fractures, the most weight-bearing bones there in his ankle, it's going to be a long recovery, no matter what. he's probably -- he's almost assuredly going to have future operations, considering they did these -- what are known as fasc fasciotomies, again, opening up the outer layers of the muscle. that area may need to be clothes at some point or skin grafts. it's a lot to absorb first thing sn in the morning, but it's a long road to recovery. if we are talking about tiger woods, we'll be talking about this for months in terms of the various procedures he may need and the type of rehab and slowly just getting back to bearing weight on that area of his body. >> talk a little bit more about that. this may not be over in terms of the very near-term for tiger woods, in terms of the surgeries or what might be required on that leg. what would need to happen? >> so, you know, just take, for example, the areas that he had to relieve the pressure off the muscle. again, you're basically -- what you're basically doing is you're just opening up that area. it's open. so instead of having the skin and the layers underneath the skin, which is called the fascia, you have opened that up to allow the muscle to just normally swell. because there was too much pressure on it. at some point after the swelling goes down, you're going to have to simply either put some graphs over that area or close that primarily in that point. i don't know, we also heard, as you know, that there were fractures in the other leg. will there be operations that are required for that leg, as well? a lot of times in these situations, you have to deal with what the most immediate concern is, first. it sounds like -- and again, this is just from the statement from the hospital, that this was potentially a limb-threatening injury. meaning that the leg itself was at risk of not being able to survive the injury, because of the immense swelling around the muscle, not just the fractures of the bone. the fractures of the bone you can address. you basically place the bones back into a proper anatomical position. you place rods and screws. you do all of that, and it's not to minimize that in any way, but it's all the injury around those bones that were, you know, sounds like very extensive in his case. if you look at the car, the way that it crumpled, it sounds like most of the force, most of the absorption of that injury occurred in his lower extremities. >> sanjay, thank you very much for all of the information. so investigators are still trying to piece together exactly what happened here. and josh campbell is live outside the hospital in los angeles where tiger woods is recovering. so, josh, i was really struck by how much they did tell us. i mean, how much the deputies in that press conference came out and shared with the public. so, where is the investigation now? >> reporter: that's right. a lot of details coming from officials, including the first officer who arrived on scene. it's worth pointing out that authorities say that it appears as though he was not impaired, tiger woods, there were no signs of intoxication. all signs, at this point, tend to lead to a speed being the cause, although officials say that that remains under investigation. as you mentioned, tiger woods is here at this level 1 trauma center behind me where he was brought yesterday after that car crash. and alisyn john, the images that we are seeing about that incident show just how violent of a rollover this was and just how much worse it could have been. >> reporter: tiger woods is awake, responsive, and recovering in his hospital room this morning. his team issuing the update on the golf legend in a statement wednesday, after he suffered serious injuries in a rollover car crash near los angeles. >> we have a rollover with someone trapped. >> reporter: authorities responding to the incident around 7:00 a.m. local time. >> when i got there, he was lucid. i was able to ask him his name. i was able to ask him if he knew where he was. >> our firefighters had to pry the metal from the seat around his legs and an ax to break out the windshield. >> reporter: investigators are now looking into what caused woods to lose control of the vehicle, before emergency crews pulled him out of the wreckage and transported him to harbor ucla medical center s. >> no skid marks, no braking. the first contact was with the center median and crossed into the opposing lane of traffic. hit a curb, hit a tree, and there were several rollovers during that process. >> reporter: woods becoming a 15-time major champion over a decades-long career. the golfer sometimes sidelined by multiple surgeries and a number of controversies. including in 2017, when woods was arrested in florida after police found him pulled over on the side of the road, asleep in his car. >> the return to glory! >> reporter: woods making a big comeback to golf in 2019, winning his fifth masters title. and telling cbs sports sunday he was hopeful about competing in the tournament this april after undergoing his fifth back operation. >> a lot of space on my surgeon s s and my doctors and therapists and making sure that i do it correctly. this is the only back i've got. >> reporter: fellow athletes, celebrities, and fans sending an outpouring of support to woods on social media. >> and i got an opportunity, i say, the goat -- eashe's not comfortable with it. >> reporter: including retired nba star dwyane wade who posted on instagram that he played with the golfer on monday. >> i woke up so proud to be able to post that moment for the world and have that snippet of a moment together. and i took a nap and woke up and woke up to the news. my prayers go out to him and hopefully a speedy recovery. >> reporter: now, faas far as those injuries, they were serious. significant injuries to his leg and ankle. he is recovering here at this level i trauma center. as authorities continue to investigate the cause of that crash, one thing is clear. the sheriff saying that but for tiger woods wearing his seat belt, this would almost have certainly have been a fatality. john? >> and a really quick 911 call from the witness who saw it, as well. josh campbell, thank you so much. please keep us posted. joining us now is golf week's managing editor, tim smith. thanks so much for being with us. the golf world is a pretty small world. and i imagine you and everyone else had a very long night reporting, touching base with each other. what are you hearing this morning? >> the injuries that he sustained during this accident are really going to be so difficult for tiger woods to overcome in the future. you know, it's interesting hearing dr. gupta talk about alex smith from the nfl, who we think of as an old guy, right, in his early 30s. tiger woods is in his mid-40s at 45 years old. so the word around the golf world, can tiger woods recover from this? it's going to be a long shot. the injuries sustained, the surgeries he's had. he's had ten back and knee surgeries over the last decade. this isn't just one or two things he's had to overcome, east are multiple injuries, multiple surgeries, multiple parts of his body that he has to work his swing around. and i can tell you that for the most part, although nobody ever counts tiger woods out, folks around the golf world are thinking, this may have been the end of an era. >> you know, tim, i know him more as a cultural icon, havi tn i do as a golfer. and he seemed to be enjoying himself this weekend. that part of the sadness or yirn iof all of is that he had found it, seemed like, this role. he was taking all of these selfies and helping these other celebrities with their swing. and he seemed happy this weekend before all of this. >> it's interesting. not just this weekend, but the last few years, tiger woods has certainly -- he was known as perhaps the most driven golfer of all time, someone who had such intensity. and early on in his career, that didn't rub other pga tour members the right way. i thought it was interesting yesterday, greg norman tweets in support, but his tweet is how tiger is mentally tough. conversely, the current batch of pga tour players who knew him growing up, watching him on television, but have only played occasional events with him, all of a sudden, it's just a totally different vibe that they have around him. justin thomas crying, talking about his friend, other folks like bryson dechambeau, who has obviously been controversial in his own right, gets very emotional talking about tiger woods and what he means to him. so i think tiger has softened, obviously, his family has played a big role in that. he loved the fact that his 2019 masters win was something that he could share with his children. they could see him live instead of just seeing him on tv, being a superhero. but i think he has softened as a person and enjoyed all of this, which as you said, just makes this even more painful to kind of sit and watch from afar. the fact that someone who has finally gotten to a comfortable position in their life and is really enjoying everything that life has offered them now has to go through something like this. >> and the important thing will be, to be a father, to be able to live his life like he wants. it may not be as important to get back on the golf course in a competitive way. we just don't know. i agree with you, alisyn. that picture with dwyane wade, that's a different smile than i've seen on tiger woods and i've covered all the ups and downs for years, too. you would see him smile on the golf course, but not like this. you know, when he's winning at golf, it's sort of feeding a need, you know, a smile of satisfaction. that was a smile of joy with dwyane wade. also when he was out golfing with his son, charlie, a few months ago. that was a pure joy, too. tim, what do we know about the last few days, about what tiger woods was doing the last few days? >> sure, it's interesting, he was in los angeles for this genesis event. he's been the tour home for a long time. just because tiger woods has been injured does not mean that tiger woods' schedule is easy and open. i mean, this is a guy who has dedicated himself to a number of causes and, of course, is one of the top spokespersons in the world. i mean, he's constantly being asked for various things. so he was in -- yes, he was in l.a. as a matter of fact, my colleague, todd kelly, was on sight there, saw him walking around, said he was walking gingerly at the time. remember, before an accident this horrific, he was walking around gingerly. but then after that, with the golf digest shoot that he had on monday and again tuesday, it's not easy. it's just not easy being tiger woods. weekends don't mean weekends. they often mean lots of obligations. i just think that a lot of this piles up on some of these pro athletes. we don't realize the asks that are made upon them. and i think, sometimes, they wear on these folks. and tiger woods is a good example. you can see over the years, it's become something that has been more of a burden at times. >> thanks for being with us this morning and helping us understand where things are this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. so this morning, finger pointing at the first hearing into the deadly capitol insurrection. why didn't key intelligence about the potential for an attack make it up the chain of command. ♪ ♪ mom! mom! every day can be extraordinary with rich, research shows that delicipeople rememberyogurt. commercials with extrexciting stunts.ich, so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home... look, liberty mutual customizes home insurance so we only pay for what we need. it's pretty cool. that is cool! grandma! very cool. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ and that■s about it. today, just ten percent of what they spend protects things like this: the rest helps pay for nra executives to enjoy this: designer suits from beverly hills. luxury trips to italy, hungary, the bahamas. private jets. golden parachutes. and lots of lawyers. no wonder the nra is bankrupt. ditch their sticker. the nra has lost its way.

>> no, ma'am. >> the former capitol police chief admitting a failure in communication over a key intelligence memo that warned of violence the night before the capitol insurrection. he and other former law enforcement officials testified yesterday at the first public hearing into the capitol siege. joining us now is democratic senator, jeff merkley, who participated in that hearing. senator, help us understand this. why did the former u.s. capitol police chief, who we just heard from there, steven sund, only see that fbi memo, he said, this week. he didn't see it the night before when they sent it via email. how is that possible? >> it really is an enormous failure. and when i pressed him on that question, he said, well, it came in at a lower level and it wasn't a polished report, it was just raw intelligence data as if for some reason raw data or basically a memo saying, hey, these folks are really serious on smashing down doors and assaulting -- put it this way, either trump will still be president or we'll be dead. it was very, very aggressive language from the far-right, saying that they were coming to conduct a war, to do exactly what unfolded. so i don't think we should just say, well, somebody didn't pass it up. i mean, the head, the chief of police has the responsibility to establish channels of communication. there's an intelligence chief within the capitol police. how did his division not forward this critical information? this seems like a huge blame game to say, all of us at the top, not all our fault. we just didn't have the information. and it really underplays, alisyn, the other information that was coming in, for example, two days before a major leader of the proud boys, enrico tario was arrested and plotting and planning for the violence on the 6th. so, a lot of information seemed to be available and there was a lot of not taking responsibility and not getting to the core of the type of drills that should have -- and exercises and p planning and rules of engagement that should have occurred. >> and beefing up the manpower. and reason we know so much about what some of this raw intelligence was, was because "the washington post" reported it on january 12th, in detail. i'll just read a portion of this. in "the washington post," here's what they knew. an online thread discussed specific calls for violence to include stating, quote, be ready to fight. congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in and blood from their blm and pantifa slave soldiers being spilt. get violent. stop calling this a march or rally or a protest. go there ready for war. we get our president or we die. nothing else will achieve this goal. that's the kind of raw intelligence that the fbi was hearing, okay? and that they tried to pass along. and so the fact that an email was overlooked, do you blame the fbi for not, somehow, sounding the alarm more or who do you blame for missing this? >> well, we certainly do need to have a 9/11-style commission to put all the pieces together. i think there were multiple failures along the way. my overall impression is that while there was significant evidence that this was something different, the leaders at the top couldn't really comprehend that it was really a possibility that the capitol would be assaulted. in the end, it was like, well, yeah, there's people out there who are extremists, but listen, when you had the million megamarch in november, they didn't assault the supreme court. when you had another one in december, they didn't assault the supreme court. that's crazy talk, that they would actually assault capitol. i think there was a sense that that's just outside the realm of possibility. and despite the evidence that was coming in. but we need a detailed analysis. and then we have to do this really hard work of figuring out how do you defend the capitol against a determined riotous assault? there's so many entries and so many windows? and how do you shut them down quickly and make sure that people can't just bust through them? we want the capitol not to be a -- it feels right now like a green zone. there's this high fence now with barbed wire and you have to zig zag through trucks to come in. this reminds me of being in baghdad and iraq during the iraq war. and that's not the capitol we want. how do you make it defensible? so we need to understand everything that went wrong and how to restore a capitol that this can't happen, but can still be open to the american people. >> and senator, that leads us to senator ron johnson. instead of looking at the raw data, instead of pigpicking up phone and calling the fbi, he appears to be getting all of his information about what happened on january 6th at the insurrection from a right-wing blog. so he is fixed on these -- this very weird narrative. let me play for you what he said yesterday. >> cloud the crowd represented a broad cross-section of americans, mostly working class by their appearance in a manner of speech, some people stood out. a very few didn't share the jovial earnest demeanor of the great majority. some obviously didn't fit in. and he describes four different types of people, plains clothesed militants, agents provocateurs, fake trump protesters, and a disciplined column of attacker. these are the people that probably planned this. >> jovial, friendly. those are the words that he thinks best describe the mob. i ask this in all seriousness, what's going on with ron johnson? has he fallen into some sort of conspiracy wormhole? >> you know, alisyn, when you play that, i was thinking about how i normally walk outside to go across the capitol from our senate offices and we got a memo that said, do not go outside. there's an angry, violent mob. you shouldn't be trying to walk through them to get to the capitol. and i kind of tend to downplay threats, but my staff said, no, this is serious. like, you can't go outside through this crowd. and so this wasn't -- i mean, you've seen the tapes. all of america has seen the tape. this wasn't a jovial crowd. this was an angry crowd intent on doing what trump was asking, which was to stop the vote counting, so that trump could still be considered the possibility of him being president. and so that's -- the disconnect between that and the tape that you just played of johnson's comments is just vast. and it continues this big lie strategy, this cover story strategy. no, it wasn't the far right. we'll say it was anyone else. we'll feed that fake story. let's quit feeding fake stories and come to terms with a real challenge we have with white extremists in america being violently intent and being encouraged on by key leaders from trump and others. this just has to change. >> senator jeff merkley, thank you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, alisyn. so tiger woods is recovering in the hospital at this hour after suffering significant injuries. up next, we look at woods' troubles on and off the golf course. and we'll talk to someone who has followed his career very closely over the years. the world's first fully autonomous vehicle is almost at the finish line what a ride! i invested in invesco qqq a fund that invests in the innovators of the nasdaq-100 like you become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala?

>> no, they're laying on the ground now. >> reporter: his wife at the time had taken a golf club to the suv's back window. she said it was to free him. rumors began to swirl that tiger had been unfaithful. before the couple decided to divorce, tiger tried to cover up the affair, leaving this voice mail for the las vegas waitress he'd been seeing. >> hey, it's -- it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please, uh, take your name off your phone. my wife went through my phone and may be calling you. >> reporter: tiger later apologized for his infidelity. years later, back pain sidelined tiger, forcing the golf champ to undergo multiple back surgeries. in 2017, police found tiger asleep at the wheel of his m mercedes-benz on a florida road. tiger's car was still running. tiger's speech was slurred and pain pills were in his system. the golf great would later say he didn't know how strong the medication was following surgery. he pled guilty to reckless driving and took faculty responsibility for his actions. tiger fought his way back, going on to win his first major in 11 years. the 2019 masters championship. >> there's a time when i didn't think that would ever happen again, until this last procedure, which was fantastic. so i don't know how long i'm going to do it for, so i'm going to enjoy it every step of the way. >> reporter: but his back pain returned, leading him to yet another surgery last month. he was feeling good enough to go golfing with basketball great dwyane wade on monday. this video shows them joking around, just a day before the crash. >> right here, man. got tiger. thank you for teaching me something. >> reporter: as tiger woods fights to recover in the hospital, family, friends, and fans can only hope there are more good times ahead. randi kaye, cnn, west palm beach, florida. >> and joining me now is kurt sampson, a sports biographer and a former golf pro. kurt has written two books about tiger woods. most recently roaring back, the fall and rise of tiger woods. kurt, thank you very much for being with us this morning. a fan of your work. listen, before we get into where this fits into tiger woods' life, i know the golf world and the orbit of tiger woods is a relatively small-knit community. i'm just curious what, if anything, you are hearing this morning. >> nothing in particular. no chatter, other than the news that you're providing. i just keep being struck by the parallel to ben hogan. tiger's golf hero, the only guy he said, who owned his golf swing the way tiger does. at age 36, i guess it was, ben hogan had a headon collision with a greyhound bus and he mangled his left leg and here's tiger at age 45, busting up his body on the right side. totally different circumstance in the crashes, but a weird parallel. i guess i'm obsessed with it because i also wrote a book about ben hogan. >> ben hogan was able to come back, right, and win again. >> he was. >> he was also younger. we don't know what tiger wo woods -- what will happen with tiger woods. we can only hope that he walks again. where do you think this fits into the arc of tiger woods' life? we look back, in some ways, the fairy tale ending to the career would have been the masters win, number 15, in 2019. so where cousin this fit? >> there's a chance there could be another fairy tale ending, given this guy's amazing ability to rehab from injury and surgery. maybe after a long rehab, he walks again, hits balls again plays at a high level again and we've got another grand finale to this incredible career this man has had. >> it may be that the fairy tale ending is just to be comfortable, happy, and pain free, as pain free has he could be. and he wasn't pain free before, with the ten back and leg surgeries combined. you note something really interesting and i want you to go into this. because in 2009, 2010, i covered extensively what was going on in tiger woods' life. the tumult, the scandals, the apologies and spent some time on the golf tour. and one of the things that was notable was the reverence that everyone on the tour had for tiger. there was not an unkind word for tiger woods on the tour, even with everything that had happened. part of that may be business considerations. he made a lot of people a lot of money, including other golfers. but he was also widely liked. >> i wrote a book about tiger in 2002, called "chasing tiger," which was about the sort of helpless, hopeless attempts by torre guys to keep up with him. and this recent book, "roaring back. it's the same thing. never heard a discouraging word about tiger when you interview his piers. they have the utmost respect for them. and as you mentioned, he's buttered their bread. the money has skyrocketed since the advent of tiger. i think, personally, when tiger is relaxed, there's no cameras, there's less pressure that way, he can be a very engaging man. when he turns cold and sullen, often, is when he's dealing with someone like me. and that's maybe not just me, the other guys, too, the other journalists, i should say. >> well, you're doing your job. >> there seems to have been less of the cold and sullen in the last couple of years. it does seem that he had found a certain piece and joy in his life. what have you seen? >> the same. it was almost a transformation, it seemed, when tiger won the 2018 tour championship in atlanta and there was this outpouring of love for him and then the wonderful reunion on the final green, when his kids run out and they embrace. and it wasn't feigned, the love was real. the connection with his kids made him seem a little less -- a little bit more like us, i think. and not this exulted figure that you just couldn't figure out. here, after all, was a dad. a parent, like so many of us. and then, that just teed up the drama of the next major, the masters in 2019, which he won, which my book is about. never seen anything like it. it was probably the most popular win i've ever seen. i'm sure it is. >> chris sampson, thanks for being with us, providing this perspective. i know you like the rest of us are just hoping that as a father and human he can recover soon in that hospital in los angeles. thank you. >> thanks, john. so just how many senators are still pushing the lies and conspiracies about the capitol insurrection? a reality check, next. this phone paired with 5g ultra wideband-- wow! (vo) the new samsung galaxy s21 is on verizon 5g ultra wideband. available in parts of many cities. it's ridiculously fast. buy samsung galaxy s21+ 5g. get one on us. only on verizon. the first congressional hearing into the capitol insurrection revealed just how many republican senators are still peddling lies about the siege. john avlon with a reality check. >> that's right. look, january 6th is one of those days that gets worse the more prospective we have on it. yesterday's senate hearing was the beginning of getting more answers about how our capitol was overrun by a violent mob trying to overturn an election based on the big lie. but hyperpartisan denial is a hell of a drug. it can cause you to see things that weren't there, ignoring the obvious, while always jonasing for another confirmation bias quick fix. just listen to senator ron johnson, who spent almost five minutes suggesting this was a false flag attack by cleverly disguised leftists. >> he describes four different types of people, plains clothesed militants, agent provocateurs, fake trump protesters, and disciplined column of attackers. i think these are the people that probably planned this. >> this is pathetic. the fbi has stated no evidence of an antifa involvement in the attack, while we know, the rioters have repeatedly said they were doing what trump told them. in addition to the members of the pro-trump paramilitary groups that have been arrested and the flags and the science. but we have come to expect no less from johnson, who seems to reach for partisan conspiracy theories when confronted with uncomfortable facts. >> this didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me. i mean, when you think of "armed," don't you think of firearms? >> since he's just asking the question, here's the former capitol police chief. >> i witnessed insurgents beating police officers with fists, pipes, sticks, bats, metal barricades, and flagpoles. these criminals came prepared for war. >> and that's not counting the rioter found with a handgun and 25 rounds, or the man with what a judge called a small armory, including three guns and the news isn't that johnson is wrong. that's just table steaks at this point. in the fans of evidence he fans the flames of disinformation. all that has an effect. a recent "usa today"/suffolk university poll showed 58% of trump voters believe that the assault on the capitol was a, quote, mostly antifa inspired attack that only involved a few trump supporters. and trump's hand maidens like johnson are responsible for this continued embrace of unreality. even ted cruz now calling this -- >> the terrorist attack that unfolded on the capitol. >> yes, that ted cruz who tried to delay the electoral vote count after the attack is now admitting it was terrorism. at least when he wasn't playing with his phone during the hearing. but a lot of right wing deflections are biting the dust as more information arrives. cruz's comrade josh hawley tried to establish a toe hold on the conservative conspiracy theory that nancy pelosi delayed the national guard response. no dice. but even for a guy whose lawyers have argued he's not expected to tell the truth, this one ends badly. >> there's no evidence that white supremacists were responsible for what happened on january 6th. that's a lie. >> okay. because when senator amy klobuchar asked would you agree this attack involved white supremacists and extremist groups? all the officials testifying answered yes. and that's your "reality check." >> john, the question is, will they believe first-person sources, witnesses, those chiefs of police, or will they continue to go to right wing blogs. >> right wing blogs. >> that's it. thank you very much for all of that. the u.s. postmaster general in the hot seat today on capitol hill amid widespread mail delays and rising calls for him to resign. what to expect, next.
