and will tonight be that good night. it's a record $1.5 billion. allyes on the biggest prize ever as someone out there could soon become an instant billionaire. tonight's going to be a good, good night i got a feeling we do say good morning, 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 president obama's 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 out right before he was just as hungry as when he started out. he didn't only echo his greatest on the campaign trail. hillararclinton joining you there in d.c. we've got our eye on that morning.

>> oh. >> what? >> yes, siree, people waiting for hours. >> procrastinators. >> they see themselves as potential billionaires. >> that's what they do. a live look at the machines down in florida that could mint that brand-new billionaire. undercover, everything is very secretive except for the one t.j. still hasn't returned. >> let's use that one. >> if it could only be that easy. we want to begin breaking newsws those ten american sailors have been released this morning after their two navy ships captured by iran. the incident casting a shadow over last night's state of the union and abc's 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 sailor was given a head covering which was required in iran, but they are now back in the hands of the u.s. navy leaving in in the

seized. they were escorted by iranian craft out to a u.s. cruiser and will go through a debriefing process. the two small navy boats had been transiting from kuwait to bahrain when they drifted into iranian waters. the iranians say the navigation equipment on one of the boats failed, which resulted in what they call an intrusion but everybody is safe this morning, robin. >> martha, when people went to bed last night that was not the case. tensions were running high. but, yet as you said it was resolved ratherly quickly. >> reporter: it was resolved rather quickly. that nuclear deal is supposed to go in effect next week. $100 billion' worth of sanctions lifted. so that may have had something to do with the timing. >> could have been. all right, martha, thank you very much and george is in washington, as well. george >> that's right. we'll get to president obama's final state of the union right now. pretty punchy and passionate defending his record, optimistic overall but the president also

and he was not shy about faking on the republicans hoping to replace him. abc's jon karl has covered the obama 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 leadership is booming. >> anyone claiming that america's economy is in decline is peddling fiction. >> reporter: in his final state of the union address, president obama challenged critics who say america on his watch is in decline. >> the united states of america is the most 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.

more than tough talk. or calls to carpet bomb civilians. that may work as a tv sound-bite but it doesn't pass muster on the world stage. >> reporter: even speaker paul ryan applauded this line aimed at donald trump. >> that's why we need to reject any politic ss, any politics that targets people because of race or religion. >> reporter: the republicans in control of congress, obama skipped the usual laundry list of policy proposals, but he did give a boost to vice president biden's mission to cure cancer after he lost his son to the december last year. >> i'm putting joe in charge of mission control. [ cheers and applause ] for the loved ones we've all lost, let's make america the country that cures cancer once and for all. what do you say, joe? let's make it happen. >> reporter: governor nikki haley of south carolina, a daughter of indian immigrants and a conservative star responded to president obama on

>> the president's record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. >> reporter: and she seemed 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 kicks off his post-state of the union tour. he's heading out to omaha where in addition to a big speech he's going to be having a living room discussion with a family in a private home. george. >> okay, jon, thanks. let's talk about nikki haley for a second. that's such a hard speech to give but she's generating vice presidential buzz with it. >> reporter: notoriously one of the hardest speeches to deliver but she seems to have done very well and you can be sure that she will be on virtually anybody's short list for vice president. >> state of south carolina so important, jon karl, thanks so much. back up to new york. >> later we'll talk with vice president joe biden about what

role in the fight against cancer. there were lighter moments. >> yeah, there was a moment right before the president's speech where it was more red carpet than a political speech but take a look at secretary of state john kerry as he arrives. >> secretary, who are you wearing? [ laughter ] >> loved his reaction. >> his reaction said it all. i don't think he was expecting that at all. >> no, no, no, a lot were tweeting about what the first lady was wearing 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 shows hillary clinton with her smallest lead yet on bernie sanders. abc's 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

iowa. this morning, it is all on the line for hillary clinton. >> we're getting into that period before the caucus that i kind of call the let's get real period. >> reporter: vermont senator bernie sanders with a stunning new lead in iowa, 49% to clinton's 44%. clinton calling those numbers unpredict unpredictable. >> i don't pay they attention to this. >> reporter: but sanders is rush brushing off clinton's claim that he's been soft on gun control to abc's mary bruce. >> she wants to talk all the time about a vote i cast 10, 12 years ago. that's fine. >> reporter: also fighting in iowa. >> if i run, let's assume it's hillary although she should be in prison in all fairness. >> reporter: 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 don't know what he is. he might be a communist. i think he's sort of tipped over the ledge.

scales herself, clinton now calling in backup. >> senator sanders wants to dismantle obamacare, dismantle the c.h.i.p. program. >> reporter: chelsea clinton not mincing words, like mother like daughter? if that's the revolution he's talking about, i'm worried, folks. >> reporter: clinton has been here trying to convince voters she is the electable candidate but that new poll also found that two-thirds of iowa democrats believe 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 now joining us live. secretary clinton, thanks for joining us. let me pick up where cecilia's piece left off, that attack on senator sanders' health care. chelsea saying he's going to dismantle obamacare. sanders' campaign says that's not true andnd going beyond it and david axelrod weighed in and said it's not an honest attack,

sent her out to do. >> well, first of all, you know, i adore my daughter and i know what she was saying because if you look at senator sanders' proposals going back nine times in the congress, that's exactly what he's proposed. to take everything we currently know as health care, medicare, medicaid, the c.h.i.p. program, private insurance now the affordable care act and roll it together. >> but give health care to everyone. >> well, but let's get the specifics, george. that's why i'm saying, 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 i've laid out specifics about out of pocket cost and prescription drug costs. what senator sanders has said and it's his perfect 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 it's going

and working families and also explain why after this historic achievement of president obama, we've 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. that's what people are asking me out in iowa and new hampshire and we deserve to give answers. >> senator sanders says you're starting to draw these contrasts because you're getting nervous. >> you know what, i have a different rhythm about how a campaign goes and maybe it's based on my experience compared to his. but we have spent the beginning of this campaign for months now where i've been laying out my policies where i've been meeting with people, listening to them about what they want the next president to do. and now we're in the sprint and it is time to draw contrasts so that, look, there's 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.

in the context of my deep respect for him and his many years of service, but we have differences on guns, on tax, on health care and i think people should have that information before they go to the caucasus or the primary. >> you've also been saying making issue of electability saying you're the candidate who can win in november. here's 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. >> i'm hillary clinton and 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 experience, the toughness, the resilience to be able to take on the republicans. i think -- >> it also says you're the only one. >> well, i think i will do the best job of making sure we don't

become the next president -- >> why so many polls show bernie sanders doing better against donald trump than you. >> i don't pay tensionattention to the polls. i know that's how folks keep up with it but my perspective they go up and down and i don't pay attention to them. i have a plan and implementing it in iowa and new hampshire and feel good about it and now it's two plus weeks until we know. >> your own campaign saying if you lose iowa it 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. i've been organizing in the states that come after south carolina, nevada and in the states that come after that. i can't paint until june last time as we all remember -- i feel very strongly that we must have a democratic president to succeed president obama. that's what i'm going to be making the case for. >> before we go you buy a powerball ticket? >> i did. >> and if you win?

>> senator clinton, thanks for joining us this morning. let's go back to new york. >> all right, george. amy is here with the morning's other top stories starting with the delicate rescue in california. yeah, it happened overnight in oakland. a plumber trapped 13 feet under ground in a trench since lunchtime yesterday. he's just been rescued working on a pipe when that trench collapsed burying him chest deep in dirt. crews had to bring in a street cleaner to vacuum out that dirt. he was finally freed after 13 hours. no word yet on his condition. michigan's governor has called up the national guard to hand out bottled water in flint as that city's water crisis worsens. the tap water has been tainted with lead since the city switched water supplies to save money. well, the director of national intelligence is the latest government official to fall victim to a teenage hacker. a spokesperson says james clapper's personal e-mail and phones were hacked. the hacker known aresponsibility. nfl football is returning to los angeles. the rams have won approval to play in l.a. next season.

say wouldn't have happened if they were allowed to remain unseen. >> one of my clients was a 67-year-old truck drivers who won over $6 million, was relentlessly targeted by over 30 some financial advisers in the first month alone. >> reporter: but now at least ten states are rethinking anonymity and one lawmaker is pushing a bill that would give winners their privacy for a price, 25% of their winnings. >> introduce this as a way for people not have long lost relatives out of the woodwork. >> reporter: some would accept some fame including canadians dipping into the u.s. >> everyone has the fever. >> reporter: even the rich aren't passing up a chance to get richer. >> incredible. it's been like insane. $2600. the most i ever seen them buy. >> make it stop. we're 1.5 billion. we were talking about 1 billion. now the possibility of 2 if we go another night without a winner. >> oh, wow. >> you will be here to tell us if -- >> can you see the pain.

i told you we'll play that over and over. back now with that monster powerball jackpot. $1.5 billion and growing. what should you do if you get your hands on that kind of mullah? joining us now "shark tank's" barbara corcoran and kevin o'leary. great to see you both. barbara, you, when you sold your company -- >> good morning. >> good morning, barbara. you got a nice financial windfall when you sold your company. you can relate to what you have to do when that kind of money comes your way. what's your advice?

for 66 million i immediately paid my taxes so i knew what i had left over and took $44 million and i plunked it in my checking account. and most people might say, probably kevin o'leary because he's such a wise guy about everything would say that's a stupid move because the bank only guarantees $250,000 and if the bank went under i'd lose but i figure citi bank wouldn't be going under. it gave me breathing space and time to assess what i wanted to do with the money and to to spend it and invest it wisely. going to my atm machine and seeing $44 million on my receive as i left the bank was worth the two-year wait just to have the thrill of all that happening. so you got to wait and take a breath. >> wait. >> and do something smart if you get lucky, that's one thing but to be smart is something else. >> okay, wait and take a breath. >> that's a nice receipt to see, as we. now, kevin, you're an investor and but do you have the same theory as barbara does on what to do with the money, how to invest? >> i never, i never agree with

let me explain what the thinking should be. basically i learned -- >> he needs an i.q. transplant to agree. >> she told me years ago never spent the principal, only the interest. let's do the math, assume it's 1.6 billion by tonight. to take all the money today you only get 800 million. after you pay your tax you're left with about 400 million. if you're wise about this, you'll take it and put it into three or four large financial institutions because barbara is right you can't guarantee that much money but you can diversify it. here's the kicker. if you invest in government bonds which are assumed risk-free and a few aaa credits from corporations, you'll make about 4% a month. that is $600,000 after tax a month for the rest of your life and for your children and their children's children. the key is, do not spend the principal. don't let anybody tell you they need a check from you. just put it in the bank and don't spend anything till the

>> that's good advice. good, sound advice. >> i'll listen if i win. >> i agree with that guy and i never do. >> i think this is something you'll agree on. the guy i think in florida said, hey, if you gave me 25%, i'll keep you anonymous. would you ever do that? >> that's a very bad idea. that. >> that guy is a cheapskate and ought to be in jail. i would get a face-lift. change my hair color and move a few blocks away and remain anonymous. give that guy all that money, what did you say, 25%? come on. guy in georgia should be examined. >> and you agree. the one time you really do agree, kevin, with barbara. >> i do. the key so this thing is family members will come and ask for money. here's the answer to that one too. when a family member comes after the first month, 600,000 comes in you say to them, i am happy to give you money. it's not going to be a loan. it's a gift. but never ever ask me again. that's the key because families
