other stuff. announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." we are following breaks new from iran. the pentagon confirms that navy personnel are free after held by a iran revolutionary guard. nine men and one woman detained overnight in the persian gulf at an iranian base. >> they had drifted into iran waters because of mechanical problems. david martin is at the pentagon. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the ten sailors were picked up and flown by helicopter to a u.s. military base where they will be debriefed to get to their account of what happened. the pentagon says there are no indications they were harmed during their time in iranian hands. two small navy boats, similar to the ones here, were en route from kuwait to bahrain when u.s. officials say they suffered a
7:04 am
the boats drifted into iranian 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 obama's state of the union address as u.s. officials worked to confirm the status of the crew. on tuesday, secretary of state john kerry spoke directly with his iranian counterpart and was personally assured the sailors would be well-treated. >> we have received assurances from the iranians both that our sailors are safe. we have also, most importantly, received assurances that they will be allowed to continue their journey promptly. >> reporter: the sailors were on board navy riverine command boat
7:05 am
the incident comes two weeks after iranian revolutionary guard ships fired off rockets within a mile of the american aircraft carry "harry s. truman" as it entered the gulf. the rockets were away from the shift but drew a strong protest from the u.s. the navy will now conduct an investigation but the u.s. seems intent on getting this incident behind them as quickly as possible. defense secretary carter released a statement saying, we appreciate the timely way in which this situation was resolved. >> thank you, david. president obama says after seven years in office, the state of our union is strong. but there is strong reaction this morning to his final state of the union address. 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
7:06 am
union to feel a lot like his very first. a reflective to-do list for the next generation. he tried to reassure anxious americans and admitted what he thinks is one of his failures. >> it's 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 chamber. president obama was pointed in trying to tear down some of the claims of those republicans hoping to replace him. >> anyone claiming that america's 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
7:07 am
frustrated with politics. >> the democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn't 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 presidential 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 so-called moon shot to cure cancer. that appeared to surprise the vice president who lost a son to the disease last year. >> i'm putting joe in charge of
7:08 am
for the loved ones we have all loved, for the families that we can still save, let's 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.
7:09 am
>> speaker ryan said if everything was as great as the president said it would, two-thirds 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 didn't 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 isiso 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 doesn't mean there aren't real genuine concerns,
7:10 am
disparity and wage stagnation 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 re-telling. 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 bernie's -- i mean literally, he has never changed his position.
7:11 am
i think some of the policies 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 wasn't that she's is not authentic, she is awe they wantic. it's this is what westerny has been talking about. if asked in the reverse why isn't bernie talking about women like hillary? this has been hillary's wheelhouse since ever she has been a public face in the united states. fighting for women. and so it doesn't mean he doesn't support women. it's just her wheelhouse. that is the context in which the discussion took place. >> mr. vice president, obama said anyone claim's america's 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
7:12 am
income americans. 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.
7:13 am
dangerous. 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 wasn't mentioned last night was iran's 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 -- i'm not sure exactly where. i don't 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 it's important should have channels open. >> should we apologize to the iranians?
7:14 am
boat? problems?
7:15 am
apol is this exactly what you're talking about? >> you know, i have respect for both of those women, but what i tell you is i was given the opportunity by speaker ryan and senator mcconnell to say what i think. i was very critical of the administration. i was very critical of the things obama hasn't done whether it's health care, whether it's the economy, whether it's the education, whether it's dividing the country but i was also critical about our own republicans and we can't assume we have no blame. >> governor, many people are applauding you for speaking very candidly and criticizing your own party. was that difficult for to you do? it's rare for people to do that.
7:16 am
in south carolina i had to do that with my own party here in south carolina. it's healthy. you know, it's healthy when you can point out certain things that you feel were not in the best interest of your state or country. it's not personal. >> would you like to see a woman on the republican ticket? >> i don't think those things matter. 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, how we'll fix national security. so if that's a woman, if it's a minority, if it's a man i'll take it we just want good leadership. >> well said. >> governor haley, great to have you on this morning. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> "face the nation" moderator john dickerson joins us now from washington. john, good morning. a lot of people are saying last night in part was a night against donald trump. he took jabs from the president and many believe from nikki haley.
7:17 am
what do you say about that? >> she's brought the country together in bipartisan agreement. the president was clearly aiming on him specifically on the ban on new muslims coming in to the country and nickykki haley was clearly talking about him. for somebody that likes attention that doesn't totally upset him. >> what does it mean for conservatives, particularly those on radio, lara ingram and others denouncing nikki haley saying she went too far. >> there's a huge debate whether people who are associated with the establishment are listening to and understand the grassroots. the establishment has been pretty quiet. this was a push back against that. and we're going to see this continue to play out. what was notable here is not so much the friction but just that nikki haley was bold enough to go out and say this in a big and public forum. this wasn't a response to the president.
7:18 am
republican front-runner. >> turning to the democratic race for president, explain the sanders surge to us. >> enthusiasm among people who feel like while they like president obama, they still feel like this system is rigged and that was amazing last night, 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's been saying for his entire career is a more authentic vessel for that view. >> thank you. within weather blasts huge areas of the country today ahead of the bitter conditions that closed an interstate pile up and left the cars literally frozen in place but first it is 7:19. good morning. bundle up for wind chills near zero this morning, but it will end up to be a milder day with melting highs near 35. clouds move out by this afternoon and thursday

7:56 am
>> it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. the angriest voices actually referred to a lot of things. certainly some of the things that mr. trump has said. >> the justice department has launched an investigation to figure out exactly how this man maeld made public health crisis happened. >> the wind is blowing here. it is dangerously close to lake erie. >> it will take less than a minute for the powerball drawing. it is the largest powerball drawing. >> good morning, gayle. it's great to be with all of you, thank you. >> you ended the curse. >> yes. >> the response curse. >> my number one goal was not to become a "saturday night live" skit. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we are following breaking news from the persian gulf. ten american sailors held overnight by iran are back in

fellow citizens, when a mosque is vandalized or a kid is called names, that doesn't make us safer. that's not telling it like it is. it's just wrong. it diminishes us in the eyes of the world. it makes us harder to achieve our goals. it betrays who we are as a country. >> south carolina governor nikki haley offered a similar message in her republican response to the president. >> during anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. we must resist that temptation. no one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. we must fix our broken immigration system.

immigration, and it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. just like we have for centuries. >> haley told us this morning she was calling out leaders of both parties because they all share responsibility to move the country forward. hillary clinton tweeted her support for the president's speech this morning saying seven years of progress, we need to build on it, not go backwards. thank you, president obama. >> with us from washington, democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of state hillary clinton. madam secretary, good morning. >> good morning to all of you. >> the president made the case for his administration last night in the state of the union, yet 65% of americans think we're on the wrong track. is there disconnect between the president and the people? >> you know, charlie, i thought the president made a compelling case about the progress we've made, but the work that still lies ahead.
8:00 am
campaign is that we had a brutal body blow with the great recession. we're standing, we're not yet running, we have work to do, and i think this election is so consequential because there are two very different points of view between us and the republicans, and that's what people are going to have to choose between. >> but are they different points of view between you and the president about where the country is and where it's going? >> i think that the president's views are ones that are rooted in a lot of reality. we have been adding new jobs, we are the strongest economy once again, as we have historically been. we remain the leader in the world on so many important issues. but, and there's a big but, and i think the president had a long laundry list of unfinished business that we need to be focused on. >> madam secretary, the latest poll numbers have your supporters a little worried tonight. they show that bernie sanders is surging, just seven points
8:01 am
how concerned are you about that? >> i always expected that this would be a tight race. that's the experience that i've had certainly in politics. and i'm very happy about where my campaign is, what we are talking about, the reaction we're getting. it's going to be a campaign that goes right to the wire. i'm doing all that i can to reach out to as many people, to convince them to caucus for me in iowa and then to vote for me in the new hampshire primary and then to go on from there to south carolina and nevada. >> you're happy about your campaign and it seems so is bernie sanders. here's what he had to say about where you're doing. >> when you see that many attacks, and i'm sure that more will be coming, it is an indication that the clinton campaign is getting very, very nervous. you know, for many months they basically ignored us. well, guess what, they're not ignoring us right now, that's for sure. >> is this your nervous face, hillary clinton? >> no.
8:02 am
sense of the rhythm of a campaign. i spent my campaign, you know, talking about the issues that people talk to me about, answering questions about what i would do as president. now we're in the sprint to the finish line. >> when you see the two new polls out this morning in iowa and new hampshire that suggest that bernie sanders is now ahead of you in those two key early states, madam secretary, what do you say when you see those numbers? >> i say what i say whenever i see any poll. it doesn't matter whether they have me ahead or not, i just don't pay that much attention to them. >> one of the four questions the president suggested for the country had to do with those who have and those who have not. vice president biden said -- suggested that you were a newcomer to the issue of income inequality. >> well, you know, i have the greatest respect for him, but i think anyone who looks at my record, starting when i went to work as a young lawyer for the children's defense fund working
8:03 am
the way up to my public service knows that i have been fighting to even the odds for people all my life. >> but more people are in poverty today than they were when the president assumed office. >> well, charlie, that was because of the great recession. i mean look at what president bush inherited from my husband. 23 million new jobs, incomes going up for everyone, more people lifted out of poverty and they dismantled it. they had huge tax cuts, wouldn't pay for the wars, took their eyes off the mortgage market and the financial market. yes, we fell into a great recession, the worst financial crisis since the great depression. and it's been a challenge to dig us out of a ditch that the president had nothing to do with digging. and i'm very grateful that the auto industry was saved, that we
8:04 am
million new jobs. but have we solved all the problems that were caused by going back to trickle down failed economic policies? no. we still have work to do. but i'm confident we're on the right track, and our economy is sure stronger than anybody else in the world right now. >> that's why a political campaign should be about the future. >> that's right. >> secretary clinton, thank you. >> great to talk to the three of you. bill o'reilly returns to studio 57 again today. ahead we'll find out what he thinks about the race for 2016. good morning. bundle up for wind chills near zero this morning, but it will end up to be a milder day with melting highs near 35. clouds move out by this afternoon and thursday looks great with warm highs in the 40s. this january thaw ends friday with some light snow and arctic temperatures settling in for the weekend. have a great

8:10 am
wanted to do was get involved in the political debate. i think this was less a state of the union than it was an argument in some ways. he said america's economic decline is a bunch of political hot air. >> 66% of the american public according to your own poll disagrees with him and thinks the country is on a wrong track. look, this was a political speech in an age where we need problem-solving not more bloviating, and it's both sides. why don't you guys knock off the bs. and i'll give you an example. america is the most powerful nation in the world. yay! what good is the power if we don't use it wisely. chaos in the middle east. iran takes advantage of us, china melting down economically. >> so we're going to be the world's policemen? >> no. nato. nato should be fighting isis and protecting those poor refugees starving in syria. why isn't nato doing that? why? nobody can answer the question.
8:11 am
political bs. i want a problem-solver in the oval office next time around. >> so you're criticizing both parties, which is what nikki haley did last night. >> nikki haley is a good shot to be vp, by the way. >> now she's getting criticized for criticizing her party. >> everybody is getting criticized. and that was the strongest point president obama made last night. knock it off. knock the ideology off, we've got serious problems here. >> specifically governor haley said during anxious times it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. she's talking about donald trump. >> so what? trump might get elected because he's angry and so are the american people so he's reflecting that anger. >> is america angry? is that what we want -- >> look, anger can be good if it leads to problem-solving. if trump ran as a standard politician, he'd be at 6%. trump accurately gauges the mood of the country, is reflecting
8:12 am
precincts and may very well win the nomination. so he's doing that to win. is he that bombastic when he wins? i'm not sure. if he is, he can't win the general. >> do you believe he believes what he says? >> yes. in a general sense. but i believe he makes rhetorical mistakes. >> what do you mean? what's a rhetorical mistake? >> you say we're going to ban all muslims, okay. that's not going to help us fight isis, but he didn't think it out. mexico, he was clearly talking about the corrupt mexican government when he was talking about mexicans being drug dealers and this and that but he didn't articulate it well enough. >> does he do that on purpose, though? >> no. he's not a politician. look, when you're a billionaire, rose, you can say what you want, okay? you have billions of dollars. you don't have to think it out. >> yes, you do. >> no, you don't. >> yes, you do, bill o'reilly. >> he's at 36%. >> yeah. but your words have power and you still have to be accountable for your words.

"killing reagan." >> you took us through his hollywood career, the ups and the downs. you go from bedtime to bonzo to the president of the united states. what was so fascinating about him? reagan was no joke. >> he was a shallow actor who then becomes one of the greatest presidents of all time. how did it happen? how did it happen? >> nancy reagan played a key
