President obama is laying out an ambitious plan of action for his final days in office. The president asked republicanscontrolled congress to back what he called middle class economics. He also threatened to veto legislation blocking his agenda. We have highlights of the president s address. Good morning. Reporter good morning. President obama takes off from the white house in about 20 minutes for a twoday trip to idaho and kansas. Trying to take the better economic climate on the road for a push to create more middle class wealth through government action. Thats an agenda the new Republican Congress is likely to resist. The president of the United States. Reporter the theatrics were the same but the audience republicans in charge of the house and senate, was completely different. With Economic Confidence and his poll numbers rising the president told republicans his policies turned the country around. We believed we could reverse the tide of outsourcing and draw new jobs to our shores. And over the past five years our businesses have created more than 11 million new jobs. So the verdict is clear. Middle class economics works. Expanding opportunity works. And these policies will continue to work as long as politics dont get in the way. Reporter but republicans are unlikely to forget the Midterm Election they won handedly and the power it gives them to push their oh agenda one that does not include the president s pitch for higher taxes on the wealthy and more federal spending. That means helping folks afford child care college, health care a home retirement. And my budget will address each of these issues. Reporter the white house is already issued seven veto threats to block republicans, and last night the president went through key items on that list. We cant put the security of families at risk by taking away their Health Insurance or unraveling the new rules on wall street, or refighting past battles on immigration when weve got to fix a broken system. And if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things i will veto it. Reporter last year there was no talk of isis or a twofront air war to defeat it in iraq and syria. Instead of getting dragged into another ground war in the middle east we are leading a Broad Coalition including arab nations to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group. This effort will take time. It will require focus, but we will succeed. Reporter republicans sat silently through most the president s address but welcomed calls for more trade deals and a new battle against isis and the continuing threat of post9 11 terrorism. Major, thank you siege. In the republican response newly elected iowa senator joni earnsette ernst is ready to give republicans what they really need. Id like to have a conversation about the new Republican Congress you just elected and how we plan to make washington focus on your concerns again. Americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions too often, washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like obamacare. The senates first female combat veteran also called for closing tax loopholes, creating jobs and defeating terrorism. With us now from washington, the Vice President of the United States joe biden. Mr. Vice president good morning. Hey, charlie. How ya doing . Let me begin with this. Everybodys talking this morning about how defind the president was. New york times says a bold call to action even if no action is likely. Did the president say to you, mr. Vice president , weve won two elections, we didnt do so well in the midterms. The republicans control the congress, but lets go on the offensive. Lets pull it out and go right for the goals that we want . Is there, and in his conversations with you, a sense well be on the offensive the next two years . No. What the sense is charlie, we Work Together closely, is its time to talk about the middle class. Congressman ernst just said the people have concerns. They have concerns about child care. Concerns about good jobs. Concerns about the fact the roads dont work in their area. Concerned about attracting businesses to come and stay. Theyre common concerns. Charlie, did you notice that when all of the talk about the recovery finally having been solid, all the things the president said in the beginning of his speech including reducing the deficit significantly, have you noticed an awful lot of republicans, the last three weeks or four weeks are claiming credit for this recovery . What caused the recovery were the programs that, in fact, we put in place. All the president is saying is dont stop the momentum now. Youre acknowledging these real momentum. Keep it going. Get the middle class a better del and the prelude to this charlie, talking about taxing the rich. There is one tax that affects trust fund people. If you buy 10 million worth of stock if youre wealthy enough and you die, by the time you leave it to your heirs its worth 50 million, you pay Capital Gains on it except if you have that kind of money and you leave it in that circumstance. They pay no tax. So were just saying hey, look. Whats more appropriate . To spend 220 billion and give middle class tax people a tax break . Or continue something that has no productive value and not a single republican can give you a good argument why there should be an exception to them paying tax on that. So theyre the kind of they control the congress. Dont you need to reach out to them inial a way that says, were not just going to present our proposal but want to cooperate and find a Common Ground . Sure we do. I have met with the leadership having private meetings of my own. 17 leading republican senators have already talked to me. Ive invited them to my home we have private conversations. They know what has to happen what we have to do keep the focus on the middle class. I believe the majority of the Republican PartyStill Believes in the notion that we have to have the best trained people in the world to attract business and the best infrastructure in the world. Theyve got a lot of outside pressure from from particular Interest Groups just like the democrats do but if we keep talking about this. Look have you ever heard the republican say, use the phrase middle class as much as youve heard in the last year . They get it. They get it. So is the idea were going to stay silent and not talk about the value system im convinced they, in fact, agree on . And everybody i looked down as that chamber and i like major a lot but i saw the republican stand an awful lot. I didnt i looked down and saw a whole lot of friends in both political parties. I like those guys. Let me get my colleagues in mr. Vice president. Mr. Vice president , let me ask you about foreign policy. One of the big headlines last night is the president is asking congress for an authorization of military force against isil. The president said last flight to the American People that our military is stopping isils advance, but if you look at the map, over the past three moss, in fact, isil has gained more territory in syria. Do we need to rethink our strategy . Scukanecno. What we need to do double down on our strategy. If you notice weeb were making progress against isil in iraq. In iraq a more eununifyied government. Theyre losing ground. Not in syria, mr. Vice president. Let me answer. You asked me, were losing ground. Were gaining ground in iraq. Syria, there are no boots on the ground. Syria is a dysfunctional country with nobody in charge. The fact of the matter is, were working with our arab allies and european allies to begin to build coalitions to be able to take on both assad and isil and it is a difficult process. Its going to take time. And there is no existential threat no the United States because of whats going on there but there is a threat to the reach rch and we are making progress. The president and i come from a school of thought that says the congress has an equal say on war and peace. They should step up and say, okay, mr. President. We agree with you. This is the authority you have to go after isil in this Geographic Area within this time frame. Its the best way to do business to get everybody in on the deal. Thats why the president s asking for a new what they call you know an aumf, the authorization for the use of force. Can i ask about security at your home . Shots fired at your home in delaware. Luckily you and your family werent home. Are you concerned the Washington Post is raising Security Issues theres an issue with your system. Are you worried . No. Im not. My house is way off the road. No evidence it was shot at the house. They found shell casings over 100 yard length of time. Four shells. A car must have been going by at a fairly high rate of speed. Appears someone on the passengers side fired a gun and my house is on the on the drivers side. Its about 100 yards away. Okay. Theres no evidence of anything hitting the house. Im not at all worried. Okay. You dont think anybodys trying to get you . No i dont. Okay. At least not physically. Before we say goodbye what do you make of deflate gate . 11 of 129 balls legitimate degrees pat trits used were under inflated . What do you think of that . Soft balls . Well, tell you what having been a receiver i like a softer ball. Nats all i can tell you. Vice president joe biden, always good to see you, sir. Must have ban wide receiver. Good to see you guys. I wasnt bad at it. Goodbye, Vice President joe biden. Thank you. Soft hands. Soft hands. Yes, i know. Thanks a lot. As republican leader kevin mckarnlg will tell us what he thinks of the president s agenda and how the new Republican Congress will respond to that. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Last night the president vowed to fight violent extremism in the middle east. This morning u. S. Navy ships are on standby to evacuate American Embassy workers from yemen. Rebel fighters are holding the president captive in his home in the capital of sanaa and control the president ial palace. A Top Army Commander calls it an unfolding coup. The fighting caused extensive damage in the capital. Yemen is a major base for al qaeda. Cbs news senior contributing is near washington a former Deputy Director of the cia. Michael, good morning. Good morning. This was disturbing as yemen is one of our closest allies in the fight against terrorism. Who is this group of rebels . This group is a shia group in what is a largely sunni country, fighting an insurgency against the government for years. Theres been on again, off again ceasefires. They rolled into sanaa last fall. Theres been negotiations underway. Those negotiations broke down in the last few days. So the Yemeni Government accuses iran of backing this rebel group and i know the saudis are worried about that. Is that a concern . One of the interesting things is that everybody is focused on the Iranian Nuclear problem, but iran poses many many challenges to us and our allies. They want to be the most influential power in the region. Thats not in our interests. They conduct terrorism as a toofl state craft. They support terrorist groups. They support sunni insurgent groups in the region. This is an example of that. What can the United States do . You know this happened once before. There was a political breakdown in sanaa in 20112012. During that period of time charlie, al qaeda in yemen grew significantly. It ended up controlling almost onethird of the country. We put this back together politically at that time. State department did a very very good job, and once it was put back together the Yemeni Government working with the u. S. Government was able to go after al qaeda. Thats going to have to be done again here i think. Whats really dangerous, charlie is that al qaeda is now going to have space. Right . Because nobodys focusing on it as these two groups fight, al qaeda will have the space to grow and pose threats. Thanks mike.

As we mentioned with the Vice President , there are new details this morning about how the new England Patriots reportedly used footballs that were too soft. The nfl says its still investigating whether balls were illegally underinflated for sundays playoff game that patriots won 457. Jan Crawford Justice and Sports Correspondent here with new information i like it. I know. We know youre a big football fans anyways. This fits right in. Tell us about the new allegations . The nfl saying the investigation will take another two to three days. The espn confirming those positions describing an nfl official as disappointed, angry and distraught. Hes going to be going after a fourth lombardi trophy. Reporter according to reports, 11 of the 12 footballs used by new england in sundays game were each underinflated by two pounds per square inch or about 16 , which could have given the patriots an unfair advantage. Whats the situation here . Reporter the nfl requires each team to provide 12 of its own footballs for the game. An official then examines the footballs and clears them for use two hours before kickoff. Each of the 12 balls was weighed again by League Officials at halftime and the nfl is investigating just how almost all of the patriots footballs became underinflated. Look out its intercepted. Reporter but the bottom line, while the Indianapolis Colts were playing with fully inflated regulation football the patriots reportedly were using the deflated footballs. Experts say those balls would be easier to grip and catch especially in rainy conditions of this past sunday. Cbs news reached out last night to the nfl, which told us we are not commenting on the matter at this time. And overnight, cbs news reported that some in the Baltimore Ravens organization believes there was irregularities used for kickoffs and punts in their playoff gaem against the pate fritz in new england one week earlier in that hardfought divisions playoff game patriots trailed at the half and beat the ravens by only four points. Even if the patriots have an unfair advantage, not much of a penalty. A 25,000 fine potentially a loss of a draft pick or two. A small price to pay if it helps you get to the super bowl. Well follow this. Thank you. Charlie and gayle . Thank you, nora. Now 7 19. That investigation will continue for sure. Ahead on cbs this morning, another fraternity faces rape allegations.
