good morning, welcome to a special split edition of "today" on this thursday morning, i'm savannah guthrie, matt is coming to us from texas, southern universities. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. you forgot to say chilly southern methodist university. we're five miles from downtown dallas at laura bush's alma mater for the dedication of the president al library, officially called the george w. bush presidential center. as you menoned, all five living presidenting will be on hand so you can only imagine the security issues that people have been going through.

on the stage behind me will be president obama, president bush, 41, president bush 43, president carter, president clinton, and their wives as well as other dignitaries in attendance. former vice president dick cheney will be here. former secretary of state ko condoleezza rice will attend, and i think former prime minister tony blair coming here, as well, along with friends and family members. this morning we're going to be talking about what this museum holds and what it hopes to accomplish, and we will have that live exclusive interview with president bush and mrs. bush. savannah? >> all right. rare and historic certainly words to describe that today. matt, looking ford talking to you more. first, it is expected to be another frustrating day for passengers at some of the busiest airports. pressure is mounting on congress to end travel delays tied to the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester. nbc's tom costello is at reagan national airport with the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning.

thousands of flights delayed just since sunday, and it's fair to say there's a lot of finger pointing going on between democrats and republicans and the white house and the faa and the airlines. bottom line is that passengers are caught in the middle of this washington dysfunction, and they're getting angry about it. from los angeles to atlanta, new york to washington -- >> united 395, clear to chicago o'hare airport -- >> reporter: the nation's control towers and radar facilities are now five days into the furlough that's have slowed takeoffs and landings nationwide, and nobody is happy. >> they didn't provide any information at that time so we sort of sat on the tarmac for a little bit waiting. >> i guess it's the politicians back in washington that just can't seem to play in the same sandbox. >> reporter: there's plenty of anger boiling over on capitol hill. >> this imperial attitude on the part of the administration, and you're the most recent example

of that imperialism, is disgusting. >> reporter: with republicans accusing the faa of waiting until the last minute to let the airlines know where the furloughs would create the most impact -- >> we told them they should expect significant impacts at major facilities. >> well, la di da. >> reporter: suggesting other places could have been cut other than furloughing controllers. the white house doesn't allow flexibility in where it cuts. >> they should read the law. they know what's in it. they wrote it, they passed it, they should know what's in it. >> reporter: also angry, the airlines, their passengers and business are suffering. >> we think the air traffic controllers should be deemed essential. air traffic controllers have never been furloughed. there's a very good reason for that. they are front line safety professionals who ensure the safety and efficiency of the international airspace. >> reporter: the overriding issue is if there's a better way in the budget to cut $160 million.

the administration says congress has ordered that it must be done this way. congress isn't so sure about that. bottom line, they're now trying to come up with a way to give the faa the flexibility to find phone cut elsewhere and avoid these furloughs. talk about dysfunction up on capitol hill. back to you. >> yeah. can't get fixed fast enough for passengers. tom kos telecostello in washing thank you. new details in the boston bombing investigation. we're learning more about the suspects' past and why u.s. officials closed a case on tamerlan tsarnaev years before the attack. jeff rossen is in boston once again. good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning to you. standing on boylston street here in boston, the site of the attack. and you see a giant memorial has been set up for the victims. we have been watching people come here day and night to pay their respects. meanwhile, as that happens, there are new developments once again in the investigation. overnight, atf investigators descended on a convenience store in boston -- sorry, in watertown, massachusetts.

that is the same town where the shoot-out happened. the clerk tells our boston efficient whdh, investigators found empty fireworks in the garbage outside. that is the gunpowder that was removed. as we reported, that's an important development. the older suspect bought fireworks before the bombing, and the younger suspect told investigators they were reading an online al qaeda magazine that included bombmaking instructions for how to use fireworks. we're looking into that. also, investigators are trying to put the timeline together of when the older brother, tamerlan, became an extremist and why he became an extremist. digging into his past. this morning, relatives say they have an idea. tamerlan tsarnaev may have been brainwashed, relatives say, by a mi mystery friend named misha who followed strict islam. they said he dropped out of school and quit boxing, saying they were incompatible with

islam. a radical change in behavior. >> investigators will continue to look at exactly how the individuals were radicalized. that's a key point because it goes to how the federal bureau of investigation and local police might detect individuals before they mobilize to violence. >> reporter: what about the younger brother, seen playfully wrestling with friends and doing the robot dance? relatives say he was completely obedient to his brother and believe tamerlan turned him into a terrorist. >> i can't stress enough to anyone how normal of a kid he was. >> reporter: for a time, authorities had tamerlan on their radar. u.s. officials say in march 2011 the russians flagged the fbi that tamerlan was becoming a radical. the fbi asked the russians for more information, but officials say the russians didn't respond. the fbi ran checks and found no ties to terror, closing the case but putting him on a attach

watch list. september 2011, the russians flagged tamerlan again as a radical. this time to the cia. officials say the cia contacted the fbi who once again asked the russians for information. but officials say still no response. january, 2012. tamerlan flew moscow setting off an alert in that travel data base. authorities took no action because the case was closed. when he returned to the u.s. six months later, no alert at all, raising the ire of some republicans wednesday. >> we need to ask why is the obama administration failing in its mission to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets in the united states. >> reporter: democrats and republicans now say they want to get to the bottom of this, and they want answers. one other note, savannah. right now, the suspects' parents this hour are holding a news conference in russia. the father just said he plans to fly to the u.s. today. he doesn't have a plane ticket

yet but wants to to come claim his older son, tamerlan's, body. savannah? >> thank you. we're also following breaking news in alabama. multiple explosions on some fuel barges. natalie's got that story. good morning. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. those explosions were throughout the night on two fuel barges in mobile, alabama. the blasts injured at least three people. the fire burned for hours but is now out. crews had to be evacuated from the carnival "triumph," which is docked nearby for repairs. meanwhile, officials are trying to figure out what sparked that fire and explosions. a case of the bird flu virus has been confirmed in taiwan, marking the first time that deadly strain has been spotted outside of china where it emerged. the h7n9 virus has killed at least 22 people in china since march. experts are calling the strain one of the most lethal influenza viruses for humans they've ever seen. one ray of hope so far, there is little evidence the virus can spread easily from human to human.

rescue crews in bangladesh are still combing through the rubble of a catastrophic building blaze following the cries of people trapped inside for more than 24 hours. at least 194 people died when the eight-story building crum e crumbled. just a day before disaster struck, police ordered the building, evacuated fearing for the structure's stability. many ignored the order, keeping more than 2,000 workers on site. some of the companies in the building say they produce textiles for major u.s. retailers. a sweet gesture from neil diamond. the singer is donating some of this week's profits from his "sweet caroline" to victims of the bombings in boston. the song had long been a fenway park tradition during red sox games. and sales of the track have jumped some 597% since last week. more reason we all love neil diamond. 7:10 now. back to you. >> natalie, thank you very much. what's going on in the weather department?

>> we've got breaking news going down now in maryland. prince george's county. a huge mulch fire is burning. they have been having big problems with smoke, and the problem of getting it out is that there are shifting winds and a lack of water. they're continuing to watch that. yesterday, we had two tornadoes touching down in suburban new orleans. this one, kenner, louisiana. an ef1. in metery, an ef0. roofs ripped off homes, trees down, power lines pulled off. a lot of big problems. let's look at temperatures. we've got frost and freeze warnings throughout a good portion of the midsection of the country. chilly start to the day. look at the temperatures this morning, north platte, 23. garden city, 36. oklahoma city, 38 degrees. temperatures will not warm up that much later on today. we're going to get to your local forecast in a moment. first, this message. you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s.

and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ fog and drizzle at the coast. we will start to see sun ship. 50 in the coast. 74, livermore. 62 in san francisco. 74 in san jose. a quick look at your seven-day forecast does show temperatures warming way into the weekend with 80s. that's your3 c3 información esta mañana es we have new information on

the ricin-laced letters to president obama and other officials. investigators are focusing on a new person of interest after charge against 45-year-old kevin curtis were dropped earlier this week. what a week it's been for you. let's go back to the initial moment when you were arrested. as i understand it, you walked outside in your driveway were and vourned e-- and were surrounded. >> surrounded quickly. i went out with my dog, was going to check the mail and make dinner for my children. in seconds, it happened in probably three second. there were like 20 armed cars and machine guns and hoods and homeland security, fbi. it was unreal. >> you were brought into custody. at what point did you realize what the charges against you were? >> actually, about two days. two days went by before i was actually informed of the official charge.

i guess it was some type of interrogation. they wanted to see if i would say some, you know, give the information. >> what kind of questions were they asking you? >> well, it was more of an attack. like "we know you did it, you know you did it. don't deny it. you knew what do you." i was -- i don't know. i don't know what i'm here for. >> what did you think when you learned that the accusation was that you sent poisoned letters to the president of the united states? >> what did i think? i never heard of ricin. i thought they said "rice." i said, "i don't eat rice." i said, key to my house. i don't eat rice." they were very angry. >> you've been a defense lawyer for a long time. i'm sure a lot of clients say they're innocent. >> absolutely. >> why did you think in this case kevin wasn't capable of what he was accused of? >> just knowing kevin. i mean, and i didn't know him

personally, i knew of him. i have a connection to his daughter which is what brought me to kevin the morning after he was arrested. when i met with him and i talked to him -- like you said, after having done this a really long time, you just get a gut. i call it a gut. >> you think you were framed? >> well, sure. sure, i do. >> do you think you know who framed you? >> i have a hunch. you know, you never really know. i've been a vocal online activist for many years. and i've signed the same signature for 15 years. this is k.c., and i approve this message. if i put a video on youtube, i say, "this is k.c., and i approve this video." whoever was watching, they knew the kind of things -- i had an e-mail signature that said, "to see a wrong and not expose it is to become a silent partner to its continuance," and i itall si sized font.

someone had copied and pasted it to the letter to the president. >> i know you're thankful for - even offered a foot massage. over to matt. this is a state-of-the-art facility. thousands are expected to attend the dedication event. let me give you a lay of the land. it's a $250 million complex that includes the president's library, a museum, a policy institute, and a foundation. the george w. bush presidential library and museum sits on 23 acres of the southern methodist university campus. inside the complex, a treasure trove of more than 43,000 artifacts from the bush presidency. 70 million pages of paper records, 50,000 audio and video tapes. and the largest digital collection of any presidential library including more than 200 million emails and four million digital photos.

on the grounds, over 900 native trees. and nearly 2,000 shrubs on a self-sustaining prairie. 2,500 square feet of solar panels heat the center's entire hot water system. making the bush center the first lead certified, most environmentally friendly presidential library. david gregory is joining us at smu and the presidential center. he was the chief white house correspondent during president bush's time in office. he's now moderator of "meet the press." good morning. >> good morning, matt. you know president bush. he doesn't like to engage in a lot of his legacy talk surrounding his years in the white house. but even as he stayed out of the spotlight, i think he and his advisers realized that the debate over the meaning of his years in office still rages. as he left washington four years ago, the public sat in harsh judgment of george w. bush, with roughly 2/3 of the country disapproving of his job performance.

the scars ran deep over multiple wars. the terror debate and a collapsed economy. >> may not agree with some of the tough decisions i have made, but i hope you can agree that i was willing to make the tough decisions. >> reporter: today, as his presidential library opens, visitors are left to grapple with his record, from tax cuts to his role in our economic slide. mr. bush has made up ground in the public's mind, and his record is viewed more charitiably. >> one he is out of politics, americans begin to look at a president not as this live political figure but as a figure in history. >> reporter: on immigration, his party has moved back his way. many of mr. bush's post-9/11 controversial terror policies have been continued or accelerated under president obama. and the bush freedom agenda is viewed as, if not a cause, at least a precursor to the arab awakening in the middle east. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: judgment has not softened, however, over iraq.

a war of choice or necessity is the question that still lingers. >> dry anthrax -- >> reporter: the faulty intelligence, the failure to find wmd, were the backdrop to criticism that the president and his team underestimated the challenges all along. >> the united states and our allies have prevailed. >> reporter: and grew stubborn in the face of mounting setbacks. >> i hear the voices, and i read the front page, and i know the speculation. but i'm the decider. [ chants ] >> reporter: what grew into a reputation for incompetence stained the administration and the gop brand after hurricane katrina. >> i think it reinforced damage that was taking place. i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you. >> reporter: after 9/11, the country was not attacked again while he was in office. and as the boston bombings remind americans of the terror threat, historians say mr. bush's wartime presidency will likely be viewed more favorably. >> a perfect example for george

w. bush is his father, george herbert walker bush, who looks far better 20 years after leaving office. >> reporter: as time passes and passions cool, mr. bush has grown more popular. he's a grandfather now. he paints. and he's stayed out of the spotlight. he's told interviews he's comfortable with both his life and his legacy. >> we're going to take you inside this center in a moment, it includes a replica of the oval office. and as i took my tour yesterday, i saw a tourist behind the desk taking a photo for a christmas card. there he is. david, thank you very much. we'll have an exclusive, live tour of this library and museum from president and mrs. bush. first, this is "today" on nbc. wow, the track looks perfect.

i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. >> who can forget that moment? that was president george w. bush after the attacks of 9/11 standing with a bull horn in the rubble of the world trade center in new york city. that was a moment that was etched in the memories of so many americans. of course, the attacks from 9/11 changed his presidency in an instant. and right now i'm standing in the george w. bush presidential center on the campus of smu about five miles from dallas, texas. and i'm standing with the former president and former first lady,

president bush, mrs. bush, great to see you both. >> thank you, matt. good to see you. >> you excited about this? >> we are. >> fired up. >> fired up and ready to go. i know you haven't been one to talk about your legacy a lot, as a matter of fact, you said to me, you're not going to decide your legacy, others will decide it down the road and you said, matt, i'm going to be dead when they do that. but you know this is going to put your legacy front and center, don't you? >> well, i hope it not only puts some of the decisions i made front and center. but front and center our desire to inspire others to serve the country by helping a neighbor in need. this is a place to educate people, to explain some of the decisions i made, to talk about the principles that guided me, but also to encourage people to serve. >> it's a beautiful facility and you were kind enough to say you'll give me a tour and we'll start that in a minute. i appreciate it. thank you for welcoming me here. a lot to get to, savannah, back to you. >> let's get a quick check of the weather from mr. roker.

>> today's weather is brought to you by massmutual, a company owned by its policy holders. >> it's a little chilly as you start your day down in dallas with temperatures in the upper 30s, low 40s. let's show you what else is going on around the country. we've got beautiful weather in the pacific northwest. seattle, 71, medford, oregon, 82 degrees and sunshine, few clouds in san francisco, 60 degrees, mid-80s in central california. as you head down to san diego, morning fog and a temperature of 62 degrees. rest of the country, we do have showers around the great lakes. looking for hit or miss showers and thunderstorms, northern florida into the southeastern atlantic coast and some showers down in southern good morning. it's 7:32 from the nbc bay area center, anthony slaughter in for christina loren. we are looking at a little bit of fog in the south bay and low clouds hanging around. eventually, we will clear out. temperatures are going to warm nicely. 53 in san jose. 55 in san francisco. our cool spot this morning,

santa cruz at 47. later on at the coast, 66 in santa cruz. inland, many of 70s, 70 from concord to santa rosa. livermore, 74 today. natural a.c. kicks in at the coast. warming for the weekend. your latest weather. matt? >> all right, al. thank you very much. back here at the george w. bush presidential center outside dallas with the former president and the former first lady. and there were so many key moments in your presidency that are captured in this center. so many difficult moments, so many controversial moments you made. some of them cost you dearly in terms of popularity. is one of the ideas here, president bush, to force your critics to take a second look? >> i never thought about my critics s. i thought about just laying out for the american people the events that began the 21st century. and let them understand what it's like to make a decision, talk about the different events that took place, talk about some

of the successes and some of the failures. and because ultimately history will judge whether critics are right or wrong. and this is a place to educate people. >> we're going to leave this area here where there are some hanging over there. we remember talking about the supreme court decision that resulted in your moving into the white house. and even though the country was divided and there was so much controversy, when you came to the white house, you had great plans in terms of the domestic agenda. this section is related to that. >> that's right, tax relief, education reform, faith-based initiative. >> tee ball in the white house the first summer 2001. >> you mentioned taxes, the economy, you wanted to right the economy. and then because there is so much that is unpredictable with the president, it all got thrown out the window because of this on september 11th.

these are some of the twisted beams from the world trade center. and when this happened, president bush, did you know instantly, and mrs. bush, that not only would the world not be the same but your presidency not be the same. >> well, andy carr whispered in my ear, america's under attack and i became a wartime president, something i didn't want to be. >> how did he change on that day. his demeanor, his outlook. >> well, i think both of us, you know, were stunned really by the terrorist attack, but also we knew immediately that, you know, that everything had changed for us. and i would just say became more serious. he was already very serious, obviously, about his job. >> he felt the weight come on to his shoulders even more so than taking on the presidency. >> i think we really felt the duty of being president. george and i both did. >> the names of all the people who lost their lives on that day are etched in the walls behind us. if we walk over here, that

famous scene we saw a couple of minutes ago, the bull horn that you held at the rubble of the world trade center saying that soon the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us. >> you know, you asked about -- laura about how i felt. here's how i felt. i felt determined to do my job. in other words, my job became clarified that minute in the classroom and that is to protect the homeland. >> you said in an interview recently that america is safer after 9/11. yet, we all watched what happened in boston last week. are we safer in terms of the large-scale attacks on our security? are we as vulnerable as ever to the smaller scale? are we as vulnerable to the kind of enemy we saw in boston? >> we're safer because people after 9/11 are aware that the homeland is not completely secure. in other words, conditions overseas matters to our national security. it is very hard to secure the homeland. and until hopelessness is

marginalized, we'll still be vulnerable. and that's one reason why i'm such an advocate for pushing free societies. >> over here, if we walk further, now we get into the -- we've had 9/11 and now we get into a wall here that says fighting the global war on terror. this, of course, includes the war in afghanistan. and it includes what was perhaps the most controversial decision of your presidency invading iraq. and it became even more controversial after no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction were found. do you want people -- and there's one area here called the decision point theater. do you want people to look at some of the information you had, and do you think you'll convince the people who thought that was an unjust war, the wrong war at the wrong time that perhaps you were right? >> look, the whole purpose is to lay out the facts as i saw them at the time. and people make their own judgments. some will agree, some will disagree. i will give you my judgment, removing saddam hussein was the

right decision and the world is better off without him in power. >> in that theater, mrs. bush, visitors get to listen to advisers and they get to see breaking ne is a fair analysis? in other words, is it weighted in the direction of your president and what your husband and what he eventually chose to do? or is it right down the middle? >> i think it's rig down the middle. to really give people the chance to see what it's like to hear from a lot of different advisers, to be prodded by the press. you know, what are you going to do? what's your decision? how are you going to make -- >> it's a polite word. >> he looked at me when he says that. >> really to have some idea what it's like, especially monumental decisions, like the war on terror was. you know, that's just a very, very big decision. and every president hopes they won't have to make that decision. >> every president can be confronted with a decision they didn't expect to make. >> right. >> and so the purpose here is not to defend or to argue or to --

>> you're not being defensive here? >> no, not at all. what we're being is factual. if somebody said to me, well, you're never going to disclose that weapons of mass destruction weren't found. i say, heck yeah, that's a fact. and we also disclose the fact that saddam hussein had the capacity to make weapons, the report reported he wanted to make weapons when the world looked away. in other words, we just lay out the facts and people -- and, i think, an encouraging debate is important for -- to understand history. >> we were steps away from a replica of the oval office. we'll talk about your reflections of the days in the other oval office as we continue from the george w. bush presidential center here in dallas, texas, right after this. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for, because i'm raising two girls

cousins, and they're here today. >> mrs. bush, i want to ask you about your husband, he had some health issues toward the end of last year and into this year. and i know and everybody's happy he will be here today. how is he doing? >> he's great. he was here last night. it's just the darn legs won't work. but other than that, he's perfect. and he's sweet and loving and must be frustrating for him. >> and you must be incredibly proud about what is happening here today. >> very. but he's proud of all five of his children. >> which brings one other question. if we are sitting here in the center, we're about 20 yards from the replica of the oval office. so will we see another bush in the oval office? not this one here in dallas. i'm talking about the one in washington. >> mila bush hager? >> mila bush hager. >> i don't want to put that pressure on her. >> i was thinking more near term. do you think jeb bush will run? >> sure, he'd be terrific. a wonderful president.

>> well, that campaign has really struck a nerve, viewed more than 22 million times since just last week, our two staffers are with us now. producers kate cook and michelle leone and also vicki strand who we just grabbed from the plaza this morning. ladies, good morning to you. and we've got jennifer hartstein, as well. and i should say to our producers, you didn't know what the premise of this segment was. >> no idea. >> you described yourselves as you see yourself? >> yes. poorly. >> okay. well, we'll get to gil, forensic sketch artist who did this for the dove campaign and recreated this morning. let's start with kate, our producer. show us her sketch and how she described herself to you. >> here we go. >> so the kate on the left -- what do you think? i think both are actually quite flattering likenesses. kate, what do you think so? >> yeah, i think so. like looking in a mirror.

>> kate, what did you tell gil about your appearance? >> it was very difficult because i was trying to think of it as if i were describing somebody as a crime scene. i would be terrible. he was like tell me about your eyes, and i was like, well, there are two of them. >> let's move on to michelle. michelle's portrait, what did you tell gil about when you tried to describe your own appearance? >> beautiful, gorgeous, i'm kidding. oh. very interesting. i told him i had a roundish face and distinctive eyebrows, interesting. very interesting. >> do you think one likeness looks more like you, michelle? >> no. kidding. well -- i don't know, probably the one on the right. >> and the one on the right, we should mention a stranger described you to gil, that's what the difference is. let's get to vikki. we grabbed her from our plaza. vikki, how did you describe yourself to gil?

>> i said normal a lot. >> yes, she did. >> oh. >> i think i've got to get longer hair after that. it's very hard. >> what kind of words did you use to describe yourselves? >> well, i think the chin, i said everything's short. you need a mirror to remember what you look like. >> jennifer, what do you think of this? the results were very striking in the dove commercial and women do describe themselves in a certain way that might not be as generous as strangers. >> that's very true. unfortunately, we are not so positive about ourselves very often. we don't look at the general view. we kind of take it all as a big piece together and say this is that -- we don't look at our strengths. we only focus on the weaknesses, and there are social repercussions of that, and the media focuses on that and imp t impacts that. lots of different reasons we

don't look at the positive. >> the dove campaign has gotten 22 million hits, something is resinating and, of course, then, there has to be a spoof. take a look at a spoof on how men might describe themselves. take a look. >> wow. >> this is the sketch you create and this is the sketch someone else described as you. >> yeah. he looks like a movie star. looks like he'll probably die soon. i never realized that two opinions could be so vastly different. that is not me and i refuse to believe it. >> it's a really funny video. they have women describing the men as saying he looks like he might smell. he did smell. is there a serious point here? are men -- we're generalizing? more confident than women in describing their appearances? >> i think there's a greater level of acceptance of men to look as they are than it is for women. we need to all embrace our differences and beauty. >> ladies, did you learn anything from this experiment? >> yeah. >> i'm going to worry about what

i wear next time i go out. >> you didn't know you were going to wake up and be on national tv. thank you so much, got to hand it to gil who did six sketches this morning. thank you so much. >> thank you so much for having me. >> thank you. and natalie, now i'll send it over to you. >> thank you, savannah. i still think al looks like denzel washington. meanwhile, we're wrapping up our look at modern manners with how to make the best impression possible. >> we arranged the cocktail party at fresco here in new york. invited a group of strangers to hang out, and body expert janine driver was there to watch as our guest guests worked the room. good morning. >> good morning. >> why is it so difficult for us when we meet strangers face to face? >> i don't know, i think we're so self-conscious about ourselves. we're focusing on the mole on our face or the gap in our teeth. you're not supposed to sit down, go in, be friendly, you don't want to dump all -- i'm going through a divorce or i don't like my job. >> mill about the room. >> you're going there to meet people and have fun.

>> let's talk first impressions and the first thing you do is the handshake generally, is there a right way? >> there is. scope out the room, i want to join in with the group that seems to be the most fun. if you look at this picture, natalie and al, this is a great hand is shaikh, because it is belly button to belly button. we face our belly button to someone we like and trust. >> so you should face -- >> feel the difference. this is giving you the cold shoulder, versus this, hi, nice to meet you. hi, nice to meet you, i'm janine. >> what about? people do the grab pull. what is that? >> are you a puller? >> sometimes. >> i would use the pull if you came in and shook my hand the way i'm shaking you right now. i'm giving you the upper hand, then i would take the other hand and give me the pull. i'm saying people give you the upper hand are trying to dominate you trying to say i'm taking charge. >> you can even it out. >> what about arms and hands? people can be awkward. >> right, the big thing to do with hands is be careful of

putting them in the pocket. >> how come? >> newborn babies, what do they do? you guys are parents, right? they suck their thumbs or put their thumbs inside of their fists. this is sending the message that i need reassurance. the guys right here are hiding their thumbs sending the message, i need reassurance. i want to actually see your thumbs. think about it, even president john f. kennedy had his thumb out of his pocket saying i'm ready to take action. >> let's talk about how to enter the conversation with people. >> the biggest mistake we make, we come in and hijack a group. >> hi, everybody, i'm here. >> and you're like the irritating cheerleader that no one wants to be friends with. instead, we want to say may i join your group? you want to be friendly, sociable. smile, but not like a cheerleader irritating, but like i have a secret you want to know. this woman barged in, almost pushing this woman over here aside. we can't see. that's a big no-no. may i join your group? may i join your group? >> okay.

♪ it's 8:30 now on a thursday morning, it's the 25th day of april, 2013. i'm matt lauer and i'm down in dallas, texas, this morning for the dedication of the 13th presidential library, the george w. bush presidential center here on the campus of smu. and a couple of minutes ago,

folks, i showed you the exact replica of the oval office they have created here. well, just outside the oval office here as in washington they have a colonnade, and rose garden just to right along the walls. there's some of the president's favorite quotes from his time in office. and just behind me here, you can see a 15-acre park that's been created on the campus here with shrubs and some trees that have been transplanted from the bush ranch down in crawford, texas. so you get the full texas experience here. savannah, al, natalie, back up to you. >> and coming up from here, would you like katy perry's home in the hollywood hills? >> who wouldn't? >> for a few mil, it can be yours. what about matt damon's lavish villa in miami also for sale? we will show you the latest and the greatest in celebrity homes for sale. >> wow, that looks like a palace there.

and also coming up a revolutionary new way for you to combine that in-store experience with the ease of online shopping. we will show you how it all works coming up. and the jonas brothers came by, the newly reunited jonas brothers came by our studio. we're going to give you a little taste of their performance coming up. let's go back to matt. >> all right, al, thank you very much. i'm joined now by three former staff members who played key roles during the bush presidency. i've got two former chiefs of staff, andrew card and josh bolton and a former secretary of commerce and lifelong friend of george w. bush, don evans. nice to see you guys, welcome. what do you think about what they've captured here? >> this is a wonderful presidential center and the museum captures the responsibilities that george w. bush had as president of the united states. where you take -- go back in time and kind of feel the emotions when he had to make tough decisions. but the highlight is the decision points theater. >> and josh, obviously there's so much made about the fact that when president bush left office, e approval ratings were a

little bit low. do you think there is an effort -- the president will say no, but was there an effort here to look at the critics and say, here, here's some information. we want to change your mind? >> no, i don't think so. i think this really is reflects president bush's personality, which is here are the principles i had, the facts i knew, the decision i made. you make your own decision. but this is what i did. that's what i believe. and i think when people go through that museum and see, they'll see it's presented straight. it's not an attempt to advocate for what he did. it's an attempt to show what the facts were and the context was when he made the decisions. >> secretary evans, i mentioned you're a lifelong friend. it's my feeling that president bush will dedicate this center today and then he'll step back again. and that he's not going to remain in the spotlight. do you think he's enjoying this phase of his life post presidency? >> oh, he's having a wonderful time in this phase of his life. when i think about this center,

i really think back, matt, when he was running for president. and he would tell the american people i'm from west, texas. the sky's the limit, you dream big, you're optimistic, you think big things. and when we started planning the library, it was all about dreaming big. and everybody that's been through here would say, you know, looks like you exceeded your dreams. but the one thing i really think this captures is i go through and have been involved in the building of it is the people who have been involved in it, and the love for america and their love for president bush and mrs. bush. >> the amazing moment a little later on when all five living presidents are going to be up on that stage. you guys have been there, done that. might you each want to get a picture with those five gentlemen? >> it is a phenomenal privilege to be here with five presidents. >> historic moment. totally. >> josh bolton, secretary evans, andrew card, thanks, guys. appreciate it, enjoy the day. enjoy the ceremony. back to new york and al.

>> are you going to jump in and get a picture? >> i don't think i'm going to get that picture. >> yeah. print that one out. let's get a check of the weather. >> let's see what we've got for you. going to start off with today, sunshine along the mid-atlantic coast, rain around the great lakes, beautiful day out west, the temperatures in the 70s in the pacific northwest. cooler as you get into california -- southern california. then for tomorrow, slight risk for strong storms along with texas/oklahoma border, wet weather in the mid mississippi river valley, going to be fantastic here along the eastern third of the country. sunny and hot throughout the west. good morning to you. it's now 8:35. i'm meteorologist christina loren. taking a live look at a cloudy sky over the sunol grade this morning. hills are still nice and green. we don't have any rain in the forecast. in fact, going the opposite direction, dry, warm weather on the way. but not today. 74 degrees for livermore. 73 in fremont.

until i was about 14 years old that i really even thought a lot about being a girl out there amongst a bunch of guys. because that's when tv started picking me up a little bit. so for me, it's normal. people ask what it's like to be a girl out there, i don't know any different. >> we see some of this early footage. >> look at the glasses. >> i'm more blind now. these contacts, if they weren't here, i wouldn't know who you all were right now. >> many people probably know you for your super bowl commercials. you appear in more super bowl commercials than any other celebrity. >> oh, yeah. >> what is that like? that part of your life? >> godaddy's been good to me. we have a lot of fun with it, the commercials. have great results for them. i think this past year was 1.7 billion unique impressions or something like that through all of the super bowl stuff, so a lot of fun for me for sure. >> danica patrick, having a great year. thank you so much. she's making the ladies proud. >> exactly. >> coming up, we're going to look at celebrity homes for sale, including matt damon's villa in miami.

and casey kasum. >> keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. >> you'll be reaching for the stars -- but first this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:40 with "today's" real estate. and this morning, a look inside some of the celebrity homes for sale across the country. barbara is "today's" real estate contributor. >> good morning. nice to see you. >> these are some great homes for sale. we'll start in miami, matt damon's really a villa i guess you would call it. >> it's a super duper villa. and he's got it for sale. it's got 170 square feet of water frontage. you can see as far as you want to see. you know, matt damon is a real estate wheeler dealer. he had a first house he bought for $9 million in miami, sold for $15 million. now he's parcelled together a

$10 million lot, a $4 lot and going to make $5 million on this house. >> it's so big. >> it's so big, i forget -- >> it's the villa. >> a little too fancy. nothing in the name, but the house has everything you want if you have a lot of money to spend. it's got a spectacular pool, private dock with its own boat lift. a water side cottage that's big enough to put my two houses in. a private water side terrace, a pool side cabana and he's already bought another place in the pacific pal saids for $14 million. his best friend, by the way, ben affleck. >> let's from miami go to los angeles, katy perry's house is for sale. she bought with russell brand. >> correct. they never moved into the house. no one's lived there since they bought the house and it's back on the market for sale. i don't know quite what happened there, but priced at $6.9 million and bought it for $6.5.

million. it was built in 1925. it's tucked in the hillsides. they have great views with this house. anything over $5 million this side of the country comes with the views. it's got a panel dining room with hand stencilled honey comb ceiling, the living room is a massive -- that's like your own paradise, is it not? there's what they call the country or family kitchen, looks a little formal to me. i would have to dress up to sit at that counter. but gleaming dark wood floors, b seven bedrooms, seven full baths and four half baths. what do you do with all of that? >> clean them, i guess. well, stay in the los angeles area. the america's top 40 host has got a doozy of a house. >> with a doozy of a price. here's what you get for $42 million, i repeat $42 million. it's got a spectacular entrance. that looks like a castle from the sky. you know a rich guy's living here. the salon has a semicircle,

floor to ceiling windows. the master bedroom has a bed fit for a king and a little ego there. why not? an english style library with the massive fireplace. family-style kitchen, got for that $42 million, let me not forget to mention 2.4 acres, that's a lot of land in that part of the country and there's an absolutely perfect kitchen. it comes with all those statues and whatever -- >> nothing's wrong with it except for the $40 million price. >> oh, come on. and there's another house priced $2 million more down the block. go figure. >> our last one in connecticut, chris maloney, tell us about it. >> this is another house they have not moved in. they only bought it six months ago, looks like a castle from the sky. all the bells and whistles. 88,000 square feet and about 52% more expensive than every other house in this town. that's what every guy wants, a beautiful billiard room, an

impressive gallery. but the house looks empty. this house has got to be staged. it kind of looks lonely. it's got a granite kitchen, usual dark walls in the formal dining room, wood panel library with direct access to the backyard. and to me, it seems like a deal for $4.725 million. >> well, it's beautiful. thank you so much, barbara. we can dream a little bit this morning. >> it's a lot of fun. coming up next, a high-tech way new way to shop. but first this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:46. and let's face it, even if you love to shop, it can be a hassle sorting through all those racks to find the right size, hoping what you order online actually fits once it arrives. a former amazon executive has designed a new way to do it that she says could change the way we

shop forever. >> welcome to hointer, a seattle store that claims to be changing the game by merging the in store experience with online convenience. >> it doesn't take away anything good about shopping, but it gets rid -- >> no piles of products, no mannequins and merchandise, this is it. and here, customers control the goods with their phone. using a special app, you scan the product code. the system asks your size, assigns you a dressing room, and within 30 seconds, your choices appear. the store was designed with male shoppers in mind. >> it just was easy and i kept, i want to try those, i want to see more come down the chute. >> even those who think they're hard to fit. >> i'm built kind of differently, so they had my size, but didn't -- >> what does that mean?

differently than what? >> reporter: but the concept has women coming in too. >> once people see what it is, this store will appeal to any person who wears clothes. >> for mother and hairdresser ivory anderson, the appeal is not just what she finds in the store, but also what she doesn't. >> crazy shopkeepers. >> reporter: trying to sell you things? >> right. for a 17-year-old with their first job who is a size zero who doesn't understand, you know. >> reporter: in fact, in the privacy of your dressing room, you can try on as much as you'd like. >> i can't be sure, but i might need a belt. >> need a different size? use your phone to order more and drop any unwanted items down the return chute, the system updates on your phone. whereas in most stores they keep all the inventory out in the store where you can see it. here, everything is hidden behind this wall. thousands of jeans packed into a microwarehouse along with a super secret delivery system

that we're not even allowed to see. >> it's kind of our own secret sauce. >> reporter: she says that top secret super fast system is what helps her to keep costs down and customers happy. a few large retailers are now interested in buying it. but is this really the future of shopping? experts say maybe not for everyone. >> it won't work for huge chains, at least at first because if you have to put the technology into 900 stores, going to be a very spendy proposition. >> reporter: she invested $10 million to build her delivery system and launch this pilot store. three more stores will open soon. >> i love these. >> reporter: but for some shoppers, the proof is already in the product. >> when is the last time you found a pair of jeans you loved? >> um -- >> that long, huh? >> reporter: for "today," nbc news, seattle. coming up next, a special performance from the jonas brothers. but first, this is "today" on nbc. ♪

week and performed, because of all of the breaking news we couldn't bring it to you until today. >> so the single comes out and people have to wait longer for the album. this is not nice, why are you doing it this way? >> a little bit of trickery. no, it was all planned out this way. we have more music that we want to release before the album that we've been excited about. this is the fifth album we'll be releasing. it's a thrill for us to be back. >> you produced the record, the good news is this is great, you're going to get all the credit. the bad news is -- how do you feel about the pressure? >> no, it's good. the great thing about this record for the three of us is that we all took control and really had artistic integrity and we were able to really make it our own. so it goes back on all of us in the end, which is just a good thing. but we enjoy making music. >> we're happy to have you guys back. what are you going to sing now? >> we're going to sing "pom poms" for you. >> ladies and gentlemen, the jonas brothers.

the presidential library for president george w. bush. matt sat down with the former president this morning on "today." got a chance to talk to him. also, speaking to three generations of bush women. sitting down with the former first lady barbara bush, former first lady laura bush and jenna and barbara. the quote of the morning, this is blowing up the political world. already is the question matt put to all the women, should son jeb bush run? and wait until you hear barbara bush's answer. >> mrs. bush, would you like to see your son jeb run? >> he's by far the best qualified man, but no. i really don't. i think it's a great country, there are a lot of great families, and it's not just four families or whatever. there are other people out there that are very qualified. and we've had enough bushes. >> the big line that you're going to read everywhere today,

"we've had enough bushes." >> uh-oh. >> and it was only this morning that president george w. bush said, yeah, my brother ought to run. >> got to listen to your mother. >> you wonder if jeb really wants to run. >> maybe he asked his mom to say that for him. i don't know. >> barbara bush is known to freelance a little bit. we should say that. >> she was the original. >> she's blunt. >> honest. >> she's off-cuff and doesn't worry about what everybody else thinks about what she says. god bless her. she's honest. >> and i was wondering when she said there are more than four families out there. i was wondering if that was maybe kind of a, you don't need a life of a former president to run. >> bush versus clinton, she doesn't do talking points. we know that. >> but if he does want to run now, you know, i guess that's something that may live on. >> how do you walk back your mom. you can't. >> my mama said -- >> you can't do that.

select his or her seats and don't forget to seal the deal with a suggested seat-to-seat chat. i'm not a betting man, but i say your chances deplaning with a plus one are 50%. >> he's saying, listen, on virgin america, he said in the past, we don't frown on the mile-high club. if you're going to do it, we're not going to stop you. we don't knock on doors. this goes a step further, though. let me ask you, natalie. >> a 50% chance of being grossed out. >> let me ask you, some guy a row and a half up -- >> okay, two words, she's married. >> well, that's even worse. how do you know -- is some creep sending you drinks? you're stuck there. >> it's okay because richard branson said i could do it and i have a british accent. maybe we should get the dyson guy to clean up the plane afterwards. good god, man.

happening? >> i think it's disturbing, she's getting insulated and as a result of getting insulated, you get isolated. you have to keep perspective in this life if you're in for the marathon. you really, really do. i think she's started out with like so many do, just so solid. she came out, came out singing in church, was raised right from wrong. i'm not saying she's gone off the deep end. i'm saying there are signs that she's becoming more and more -- >> controlling. yup. >> you can't control life, you can barely, you can't control the weather, all you can control are your own choices, your own decisions. and it just, i don't want her to become like some of the other people that we liked at the beginning then we see them change so much. we can't even relate to them any more at all. >> what makes people relatable, i think are their mistakes and their whoopcies and their flaws and bad pictures and jennifer lawrence is a case in point. yes, she messes up all the time and she doesn't care.
