Tonights going to be a good, good night i got a feeling we do say gooood mornin america, on a busy wednesday morning. Good to have michael here and sam here and george is there in d. C. He was there last night for prident obamas final state of the union. George. Yeah, guy, what a night it was. The president with his final state of the union, his seventh but tweeted o right before he was just as hungry as when he started out. He didnt only echo his gatest things but itching to get back on the campaign trail. Hillary clinton joining you there in d. C. Weve got ourye onhat huge Powerball Jackpot this morning. Take a look at those lines. Oh. Yes, siree, people waiting for hours. Procrastinators. They see themselves as potential billionaires. Thats whahat they do. A live look at the machines down in florida that could mint that brandnew llionaire. Undercover, everything is very secretive except for the one t. J. Still hasnt returned. Lets use that one. If it could only be thatt easy. We want to begin breaking news, those ten american sailors have beenen released this morning after their two navy ships captured by iran. The incident casng a shadow over last nights state of the union and Abcs Martha Raddatz has the latest and joins us this morning. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. There were ten sailors, nine men and one woman. We can see pictures on iranian tv that the female sailorr was given head covering which was required in iran, but they are now back in the hands of the u. S. Navy leaving iran in the same boats in whi they were seized. Craft out to a u. S. Cruiser and will go through a debriefing process. The two sll navy boats had been transiting from kuwait to bahrainn when they drifted into iranian waters. The iranians say the navigation equipment on one of the boats failed, which resulted in what they calln intrusion but everybody is safe this morning, robin. Martha, when peopl went to bed last night that was not the case. Tensions weree running high. But, yet as you said it was resolved ratherly quickly. Reporter it was resolved rather quicklkly. That nuclear deal is supposed to go in effect next week 100 billion worth of sanctions lifted. So that may have had something to doith the timing could have been. All right, martha, thank you very much and george is in washington, as well. George thatsright. Well get to president obas final state of the union right now. Pretty punchy and passionate defending his record, optimistic overall bu the predent alsoo showed a rare flash of regret and he was not shy about faking replace him. Abcs jon karl has covered the ama presidency from the start and joins us from the white house now. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. The president said one of the few regrets is failing to overcome the bitter partisan divide in washington but his critics are just plain wrong, america under his ldership is booming. Anyone claiming that americas economy is in decline is peddling fiction. Reporter in his fal state of the union address, president obama challenged critics who say america on his watch is in decline. The United States of america isheost powerful nation on earth, period. Reporter obama pitched opt minimum for the future and a case for a democrat to succeed him taking a veiled swipe at republican candidates who have attacked his strategy for combating isis. And our answer n needso be or calls to carpet bomb civilians. That may work as tv soundbite but it doesnt pass muster on the world stage. Repororter even Speaker Paul Ryan applauded this line aimed at donald trump. Thats why we need to reject any politic ss, any politicics tha targs people because of race or religion. Reporter the republicans in control of congress,bama skipped the usual laundry list of policy proposals, but he did give a boost to Vice President bidens mission to cure cancer after he lost his son to the december last year. Im putting joe in charge o of mission control. [ cheers and applause ] for the loved ones weve all lost, lets make america the country that cures cancer once d for all. What do you say, joe . Lets make it happen. Reporter governor nikki haley of South Carolina, a daughter of indian immigrants and a conservative star responded to president obama on behalf of republicans. Often fallen far short of his soaring words. R reporter and she seed to respond to the tone of some in her own party, as well. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. Reporter the president this morning kks off his poststate of the union tour. R. Hes heading out to omaha where in addition to a bigpeech hes going to be havin a living room discussion with a family in a private ho. George. Okay, jon, thanks. Lets talk about nikki haley for a second. Thats such a hard speech to give but shes generating Vice President ial buzz with it. Reporter notoriously one of the hardest speeches to deliver but she see to have doneery well and you can be sure that she will be on virtually anybodys short list for Vice President. State of South Carolina so important, jon rl, thanks so much. Back up to new york. Ler wellll talk with Vice President j joe biden about whatt the president said about h role in the fight against ncer. Yeah, there was a moment right before the president s speech where it was more red carpet than a political speech but take a lookk at secretary of state john kerry ase arrives. Secretary, who are you wearing . [ laughter ] loved his reactionon. His reaction said it all. I dont think he was expecting that at all. No, no, no, a lot were tweeting about what the firstst lady was wearing a and sold out before the speech was over. President obama clearly focused on his successor as the race for the democratic nomination tightens. A new National Poll sws Hillary Clinton with her smlest lead yet on Bernie Sanders. Abs cecilia vega is still there on the trail in iowa and joins us this morning again, good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Another poll showing what would have been unimaginable a couple of months ago, the once presumed democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton now trailing here in is morning, it is all on the line for Hillary Clinton. Were gettiting into that period before the caucus that i kind of call the lets get real period. Reporter vermont senator bernieanders witith a stunning new lead in iowa, 49 to clintons 44 . Clinton calling those numbers unpredict unpredictable. I dont pay they attention to this. Reporter but sanders is rush brushi off clintons claim that hes been soft on gun control toabcs mary bruce. She wants to talk all the time about a ve i cast 10, 12 years ago. Thats fine. Reporter also fighting in iowa. If i run, lets assume its hillarylthough she should be in prison in all fairss repeporter donald trump going after both opponents across the aisle. I dream running against bernie. I would love to run against a socialist. Or a communist. I dont know what he is. He mightbe a communist. I think hes sort of tipped over the ledge. Repter hopinto tip the scales herself, clinton now senator sanders wants to dismantle obamacare, dismantle the c. H. I. P. Progra reporter Chelsea Clinton not mincing words, Like Mother Like Daughter . If thats the revolution hes talking about, im worried, folks. Reporr clinton has been here trying to convince voters she is thelectable candidate but that new poll also found that twothirds of iowa democratselieve Bernie Sanders has a good shot at winning the white house in november. Just over two weeks until the vote. Cecilia vega, thanks very much. Hillary clinton is here right nonow joini u us live. Secretary inton, thanks for joining us. Let me pick up w where cecililias piece left off, that attack on senator Sanders Health care. Chelsea saying hes going to dismantle obamacare. Saers Campaign Says ths not true and going beyond it and David Axelrod weighed in and said its not an honest attack, not something they should have sent her out to do. I adore my daughghter and i kno what s she was saying because if you look at senator sanders proposals going back nine times in the congress, thats exactly what hes proposed. To take everything we currely know a health care, medicare, medicaid, the c. H. I. P. Program, private insurance now the Affordable Care act and roll it together. But give health carare to everyone. Well, but lets get the specifics, george. Thats why im sang, we are weigh now in the area where we have to go from generalization to specifics. I have said what i will do to improve the Affordable Care act and ive laid out specifics about out of pocket cost and Prescription Drug costs. What senator sanders has said and its his perfec right to say it he wants a National Health care single payer system tell the people how much it will cost them. Every Analysis Shows its going to cost middle class families explain why after this historic achievement of president obama, weve been fighting to get some kind of a Affordable Care since harry truman. Now he wants to start all over again and i think those are legitimate questions. Thats what people are asking me out in iowa and New Hampshire andd we deserve to give answers. Senator sande says youre starting to draw these contrasts because youre getting nervous. You kno what, i have a different rhythm about how a Campaign Goes andaybe its based on my experience compared to his. But we have spent the beginning of this campaign for months now where ive been laying outut my policies where ive been meeting with people, listening to them abou wt they want the next president to do. And now were in the sprint and it is time to draw contrasts so that, look, theres no comparison between what the democrats believe because we have some of the very same objectives compared to what the republicans are peddling, but there are substantive disheses between us and i want people to know about that. This is you know, this isll respect for him and his many years of service, but we have differences on guns,n tax, on health care and i think people should have that information before t they go to the caucasus or the primary. Youve also been saying making issue of electability saying youre the candidateho can win in november. Heres the ad you put in iowa last week. So ask yourself who is the one candidate who can top them . Hillary clinton. Tested and tough. To stop them, stand with her. Im hillaryry clintonnd i approve this message. That implies you think Bernie Sanders cannot win a general election. Is that what you believe . What that ad says is that i have the expeperience,he totoughness,he resilience to bee able to take on the republicans. I t think it also says youre the only one. Well, i think i will do the best job of making sure we dont let a donald trump or a t cruz come the next president sanders doing better against donald trump than you. I dont pay tensionattention to the polls. I know thats h how folks keep up with it but my perspective they go up and down and i dont Pay Attention to them. I have a plan and implementing it in iowa and New Hampshire and feel good about it and now its two plus weeks until we know. Your own campaign saying if you lose iowat could change the course of the election. Is that what you believe. You know, i want to win but i have a very long view about this. Ive been organizing in the states that come aer South Carolina, nevadand in the ststates that come after that. I cant paint until june last time as we all remember i feel very strongly that we must have a democratic president to succeed president obama. Thats what im going to be making the case for. B before wee g you buy a Powerball Ticket . I did. And if you win . Well, ill funmy campaign. Senator clinton, thanks for joining us this morning. All right, george.
