Buzzing about his tiny costar, the real story behind this little scene stealer. Why everyone is talking about the fake baby blooper. And we do say good morning, america. And we have so much to get to this morning. George hes still down there in washington for the president s big speech last night. Good morning, george. Good morning robin. That was the president s sixth state of the union. Tone confident, even cocky. You would never know the democrats took a beating. No olive branches and the president laid out what he wants to do and well have more on that ahead. Back to you in a moment but well begin with that breaking news overnight. The socalled deflategate the patriots did use underinflated balls in their win over the colts this weekend, it is reported. Abcs ryan smith is here with the latest. This is at the center of the controversy. A huge mess for the patriots and now were learning their championship game losing opponent tipped the refs off and with the super bowl less than two weeks away some are questioning whether the air was let out of the patriots integrity. Overnight a major deflategate development, nfl sources tell espn 11 of the new England Patriots 12 game balls in sundays win over the colts were underinflated by two pounds per square inch. They probably dont know how they became underinflated but the fact that there were 11 out of the 12 balls was certainly a big disappointment. Reporter the colts grew suspicious after Dqwell Jackson intercepted tom brady late in the second quarter. Jackson then gave the ball to a member of the colts equipment staff who immediately notified his head coach and general manager. Seconds after the opening kick of the Third Quarter with the patriots leading 177 officials held up the game. The refs switched out the game ball and pats went on to outscore them in the second half for a 457 victory. Over two hours before kickoff each of the teams 1 game balls were required to be inspected and approved by the referee. League rules state after that no alter rag are allowed. Each team their own balls and theyre allowed to slightly doctor them to their preferences. Aaron rodgers admitted to overinflating his football. Less air makes it easier for the teams to catch. This development coming just a day after pats quarterback tom braid den a head coach Bill Belichick denied accusations they intentionally deflated them making them easier to catch and grip but the findings setting off a firestorm. Indianapolis punter pat mcafee tweeting if new england was to be dqd hed be their replacements right. In 2007 belichick was fined for videotaping sideline signals during the game. With super bowl xlix less than two weeks ago could it derail their road to the big game . One dumb thing that doesnt matter. Itll mean more to the legacy of what the patriots are trying to do than the actual infraction. This morning the league isnt commenting. The investigation is still under way but the patriots tell abc news theyve been in complete cooperation with the league and will continue to do dough. This is the regular football and this you can see the flattened one. This game was raining. So that makes it even harder to catch. So the conspiracy theorists will say this was a plan and thats how they won this game. Well because 11 of the 12 thats a lot. You heard steve young say, really. It may damage their reputation but thats not going to prevent them from going on to the super bowl nor should it. Still people will say is there going to be an asterisk on them. It does make the grip easier and an issue a lot of people bring up. Thank you very much. Back now to george in washington. Thank you, robin. We turn to the state of the union and aggressive speech from the president saying the shadow of crisis has passed. He took credit for the economic recovery offered up an uncompromising liberal agenda for his last two years. Abcs jon karl is there. There was not a lot of love there. I didnt hear any concessions from the president. He seemed so confident you would have thought he had just won another election. The president who campaigned saying yes we can has a new theme, yes, we did. Weve seen the fastest Economic Growth in over a decade. Our deficits cut by twothirds. A stock market that has doubled and Health Care Inflation at its lowest rate in 50 years. [ applause ] thats good news, people. Reporter the presss was most obvious when he went off script during the most memorable line of the night. I have no more campaigns to run. [ applause ] my only agenda i know because i won both of them. [ laughter ] reporter almost immediately the iwonboth set a for the next two years the president vowed to fight republican efforts to roll back any of his policies from immigration to obamacare. If a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things i will veto it. Reporter striking a pop lift tone he called for higher taxes on the wealthy and new programs to help the middle class including Free Community college for all and vowed to continue to fight for things he couldnt get done even before the republicans took over like raising the minimum wage. If you truly believe you can work full time and support a family on less than 15,000 a year try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest working people in america a raise. [ cheers and applause ] reporter closing the Guantanamo Bay prison. I will not relent in my determination to shut it down. It is not who we are. Reporter republicans didnt applaud much at all and the president said nothing to acknowledge the republicans had just won a big victory in the midterm elections. But the entire chamber did cheer guests in the first ladys box. Especially alan gross, released just last month after being sdwraled for more than five years by the cuban government. It was up to joni ernst, the pig castrating new republican to give the response. She reminded everybody that the president s party was trounced in november and promised a big change in direction from the president s policy saying quote, we heard the message you sent in november loud and clear. George it was clearly a different message than the message the president heard. Yeah sounds like a recipe for stalemate. Absolutely. Jon karl thanks very much. I spoke with the Vice President moments ago. Mr. Vice president , thanks for joining us this morning. You were sitting next to Speaker Boehner all last night. He didnt seem too impressed with the president s speech and called them the wrong priorities for the country. Doesnt seem like much of anything the president will propose will go anywhere. I disagree. You know thelicans are now even some taking credit for the recovery so they must think something we did went pretty well. Secondly theyre talking about the middle class. Thats not been part of their political vocabulary up t so theres going to be some stark choices. Theyll have to decide whether theyll step up help the middle class, the tax cuts with education and on those issues and i believe there is a significant core republicans who believe now is the time to make this recovery good for everyone and stronger for the middle class. A year from now which of the president s big proposals will be law . I think i hope a year from now all the proposals relative to the middle class tax cuts as well as education. Look there are heres whats happening. You know the economy is growing. You know like i said everybody seems to be embracing whats happening now, particularly relative to the rest of the world, jobs are coming home. Were talking about insourcing. We have to focus on two thing to continue the momentum. One is make sure we have the best infrastructure in the world so people keep coming back and people invest here and Companies Invest here in the United States and come home and, secondly we have to have the most Skilled Workforce in the world and there are things that the republicans can agree on and i think now that they actually have to lead i mean they own the congress they are the ones who are in the majority. And i think the public is going to insist that we work together. It hasnt been a historic consensus for tax increases, has there . Heres the deal there are 300 billion in tax increases on things we dont need to do. A thing called up stepped up basis. Why should somebody be left 10 million in stock that in fact when they bought it now worth 50 million why shouldnt they pay tax on it if they inherited itty if someone is in the stock market and they, in fact make 10 on a stock, thats a capital gain. You know thats 210 billion and its a real easy choice. Want to continue to help trust fund babies or go out good people thoses not a pejorative term last thing they need is another 210 billion tax cut when you can put that money into making sure people get tax cut to help first with child care help with sick leave, help with be a own their homes, et cetera. Mr. Vice president , as you know the president ial campaigns are heating up on both sides, secretary clinton is lining up staff and support includes many members of president obamas team. Our latest poll shows shes the overwhelming choice of democrats. Is there any chance you can challenge her . Yes theres a chance but i havent made up my mind about that. We have a lot of work to do between now and then. Ther of time. Look, the person who is going to end secretary clinton is really competent competent, capable person and a friend. The person who is going to be the next president of the United States is the one thats going to be able to articulate the clearest vision of where theyll take the country. There is a chance youll challenge her. Eight years ago you put yourself into the race. When do you have to make up your mind . Well i dont i have to make up my mind until the summer. I think theres i think this is wide open on both sides. And but look right now my focus is getting implemented what the president talked about last night nail down this recovery and get the middle class back in the game. Mr. Vice president , thanks very much for your time this morning. Thanks, george. So robin, there you heard it Vice President biden still hasnt up going for the white house. You havent given up on trying to get him to answer that question. Okay george back to you in a moment. The latest on the final moments of airasia flight 8501. The investigation now revealing the plane made a sudden steep climb before stalling and plunging into the java sea. Abcs david kerley is in washington with the latest on that. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is our First Official solid indication of what happened to that airasia flight. But there are still many questions. They have pulled up the tail the black boxes and found the fuselage but it is the radar data that the transportation minister now says it was climbing too fast a rate stalled and then plunged into the java sea. The pilots encountered Severe Weather and wanted to climb but approval was delayed. The indonesians say the jet started climbing at a rate of 6,000 feet a minute that is at least three times faster than a normal ascent. For the passengers the gforces necessary to get that airplane into a precipitous climb would be very scary. Reporter climbing that fast means forward air speed is lost the wings lose their ability to lift the plane so it stalls and starts falling to earth. When an airplane stalls it can end up spinning and that spin may be unrecoverable. Reporter well its been a week now since the indonesians recovered the black boxes and have yet to release specific data. The cockpit recorder does show there were no other voices in the cockpit or threats ruling out terrorism and no indication of a bomb. Now, the indonesians are required to file a 30day report. Thats next week but this morning they are saying they will not make that public. Safety experts are getting concerned about the secrecy and what they see as a conflict of interest in this investigation, robin. Many are concerned about that. David, thank you.
