Officials say they suffered a mechanical breakdown. Waters and ten u. S. Sailors were taken into custody and held overnight at an iranian base on the eyelid of farsi. Speaking on state tv, the naval chief for the Iranian Revolutionary guard said the american vessels were engaged in unprofessional acts before being picked up and the sailors were taken into custody without much resistance. Some of the only people in america reporter any mention of the detainment was left out of president obamas state of the Union Address as u. S. Officials worked to confirm the status of the crew.

The president defended his record and, again, called for a change in the political climate. Margaret brennan is at the white house with the key moments. Reporter good morning. Well, president obama told his staff back in november that he wants this last state of the a reflective todo list for the next generation. He tried to reassure anxious americans and admitted what he thinks is one of his failures. Its one of the few regrets of my presidency that the rancor and suspicion between the parties have gotten worse, instead of better. Reporter in this Election Year address, it was difficult to keep 2016 politics out of the chamber. President obama was pointed in trying to tear down some of the claims of those republicans hoping to replace him. Anyone claiming that americas economy is in decline is peddling fiction. Our answer needs to be more than tough talk. More calls to carpet bomb civilians. Over the top claims that this is world ward iii plays into their hands. Reporter mr. Obama says he understands why voters are the democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesnt matter. But that is the system is rigged in favor of the powerful or some special interest. Reporter in the gop response, South Carolina governor nikki haley di missed that rhetoric. Unfortunately, the president s record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. Reporter but she admitted republicans are partially to blame for american anxiety and sought to distance her party from the controversial tone of its president ial contenders. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. Reporter and the president announced one final ambitious goal a socalled moon shot to cure cancer. That appeared to surprise the Vice President who lost a son to the disease last year. Im putting joe in charge of mission control. Loved, for the families that we can still save, lets make america the country that cures cancer once and for all. What do you say, joe . Reporter with a fan fare behind him, the president left the chamber for the last time, pausing for a moment to take it all in. Let me look at this thing one last time. I always liked that. That is kind of cool. Reporter today, the president will sound a lot like candidate obama, as he flies to nebraska and louisiana to promote this message of hope and change once again. And, charlie, you can expect the white house to change their communication strategy in the months to come. They promise more town hall style events to have the president appear to be speaking with the public and not at them. Thanks, margaret. The Vice President of the United States joe biden is with us from washington. Mr. Vice president , good morning. Happy to be here, charlie. Speaker ryan said if twothirds of the people would not say the country is on the wrong track. Is there a disconnect . I think two reasons, charlie. One, the blowback from the recession still left a lot of middle class people who lost their homes to more in the stock market and didnt back in as it came back up, the job stagnation and wage stagnation. I think the president explained it fairly well with these International Changes taking place with globalization and the way things are moving, and we have to adjust. This is a new period, and so there is understandable frustration, understanding concern. But there is no question, no question we are the most respected, most powerful nation in the world. There is no question that no one is as used to saying my neighborhood patch on our jeans, that doesnt mean there arent real genuine concerns, particularly income and among the American People with good reason. Speaking of income disparity, secretary clinton, you have suggested, is late to the income and equality issue. Why did you say that and what did you mean . Does it suggest you were a part of the political debate . No, no. The context is always getting a little it gets reshaped and not intentional but gets reshaped in the retelling. I was asked a question about Bernie Sanders and about hillary, and what i was saying was hillary has been secretary of state for five years before, almost five years before she ran for office. And prior to that, her major focus and function was still in the area of national security. But bernie has been doing the same speech for the last 30 years. And all i meant was that this is bernies i mean literally, he has never changed his position. And so it is there is a difference. That hillary has come forward with are very, very pro active and i think would be very helpful to the middle class. I think she is moving in the right direction. But the comparison was she and bernie it wasnt that shes is not authentic, she is awe they wantic. Its this is what westerny has been talking about. If asked in the reverse why isnt bernie talking about women like hillary . This has been hillarys wheelhouse since ever she has been a public face in the United States. Fighting for women. And so it doesnt mean he doesnt support women. Its just her wheelhouse. That is the context in which the discussion took place. Mr. Vice president , obama said anyone claims americas economy is in decline and is peddle be fiction. The facts are this. We have more than 47 Million People living in poverty. Household incomes has dramatically shifted to upper income americans from middle you have wages in this country are stagnant. The economy has gotten worse for many americans. Is there a disconnect here . The overall economy is healthy. The dislocations and the concentration of wealth are dangerous. I remember having a discussion with you, charlie. Yes. I pointed out an article from the university of massachusetts, a professor pointing out of the 4. 7 trillion dollars in profits from 2003 to 2013, 47 went back to buying stocks and 9 left for everything else. That is what barack and i have been fighting about. We have been saying you have to give great opportunities. Corporate attitude have to change. No longer they act like they have no Corporate Responsibility for the community and no Corporate Responsibility to their employees. There has been a shift, a significant sift that is and that is what is wrong with america. But not the overall economy. The overall economy relatively to the rest of the world is by far the wealthiest economy. What wasnt mentioned last night was irans detention of the ten u. S. Sailors. We hear it is good news this morning. What happened with that . One of the boats had engine failure and drifted into iranian waters. The iranian picked up both boats as we have picked up iranian boats that needed to be rescued and took them to im not sure exactly where. I dont want to misspeak here. And realize they were there and distressed and said they were released them and they released them like ordinary nations would do. That is the way nations should do and that is why its important should have channels open. Should we apologize to the iranians . No. Do you apologize the boat had problems . There is no looking for an apology. This was standard and nautical practice. Mr. Vice president , thanks for being with us. Good to talk to you. Thanks for having me. South carolinas governor nikki haley delivered the republican response to the president ate speech last night. Good morning. Good morning. Another great day in South Carolina. Reporter thank you for joining us here. You said last night that your party has to resist a temptation to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. Why did you want to land that criticism at donald trump . You know, the angryiest voices referred to a lot of things. Certainly some of the things that mr. Trump has said, but its been to other things as well. You know, if you saw what happened, we were one of those areas that had to deal with issues of law enforcement. There are a lot of bad or a few and we had an officer who shot water scott. And, you know, rather than having a lot of angry voices out there, what we did was we came together, republicans and democrats, white and black, and we passed the first body camera bill in the country. Mr. Trump is not exempt from being one of those angriest voices. All im saying is we got a responsibility. And the way we handle issues and the way we talk about issues should be towards pollution, not towards division. I say that in reference to a lot of things. Governor, a lot of people looked at your address last night and thought, not only is a rebuttal to president obamas state of the union, but also a call to your own party and a call to distance your party from donald trump. Is that, in part, true . No. That wasnt true. You know what it was . It was calling out my party. I mean, that was very true. I called out republicans and i called out democrats, because i think its important. If the country is going to move forward, we all need to look in the mirror and we all need to realize we all have had something to do with this. Once you do that you can regroup as you know, there is also things called pundits and radio posts and laura ingram said it may not be smart, she tweeted, to be criticizing gop candidates would dominating the polls and ann coulter said trump should deport you. I have respect for both of those women. What ill tell you is i was given the opportunity by speaker ryan ryan and senator mcconnell to say what i think. I was very critical of the administration and i was very critical of the things that obama hasnt done, whether its health care, whether its the economy, whether its education, whether its dividing the country. But i was also critical about our own republicans and that is because we cant assume that we have no blame here. Governor, many are applauding you for speaking candidly and criticizing your own party. Was that difficult for you to do . Its rare for people to do that . No, it wasnt. Ive had to do that with my own party here in South Carolina. Its healthy. You know, its healthy when you can point out certain things thaw feel like werent in the best interest of your state or your country, but its not personal. Would you like to see woman on the republican ticket . I dont think those things matter. Id like to see a good ticket. I want a good, strong ticket that makes the Republican Party proud, that is one that talks about the solutions to health care, the solutions to education, what we can do with tax reform and how we are going to fix national security. If that is a woman or a minority or a man, ill take it. We want good leadership. Well said. Governor haley, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Good morning. Face the nation moderator and cbs news political director John Dickerson joins us now from washington. Good morning. Reporter good morning. A lot of people were saying, last night, in part, was a night against donald trump. He took jabs from the president and many believe from nikki haley. She has brought the country together in bipartisan agreement. The president was clearly aiming at him specifically on the question of his ban on new muslims coming into the country and nickkki haley was also clearly talking about him. So for somebody who likes attention, though, that is probably doesnt totally upset. What do you think it means that conservatives, particularly those on radio, laura ingram and coulter, others are denouncing nikki haley saying she went too far. A huge debate in the Republican Party about whether the people who are associated with the, quote unquote, establishment are listening to and understand the grassroots. The establishment has been pretty quiet. This was a push back against that. And we are going to see this continue to play out. What was notable here is not so much the friction, but just that the nikki haley was bold enough to go out and say this in such a big and public forum. I mean, this wasnt a response to the president. This was a response to the republican frontrunner. Another kind. The democratic race for president. Explain the sanders surge to us. Enthusiasm among people who feel like while they liked president obama, they still feel like the system is rigged. That was amazing. President obama in his speech used that expression twice to basically say the Economic System is rigged. They think Bernie Sanders, who has been loud and proud about what he has been saying for his entire career, is a more authentic vessel for that view. Thank you, John Dickerson. Thanks. Winter weather blasts huge areas of the country today. Caused an interstate pileup and the National Guard is deployed to help tackle the Drinking Water crisis in flint, michigan. Ahead why the state governments response is being compared to Hurricane Katrina. The news is back in the morning right here on cbs this morning. Announcer this portion of cbs nationwide.
