of this show. >> don't get used to it. >> what did you think when they said we were going to be with you? >> i love it. >> like charlie's angels. >> i have a bad feeling about this. >> we continue our homecoming week with kathie lee and hoda. we will have a good time today. >> we promise we will. we kept it clean with the cups. >> we are sorry barbara walters couldn't make it. we have a lot of news to talk about on a wednesday morning. let's get to our top story, this major speech from president obama later tonight to outline the threat posed by isis and how he plans to deal with it. peter alexander is at the white house with more. good morning to you. >> reporter: long day here ahead at the white house. senior administration official tells me president obama is prepared to authorize air strikes in syria but tonight is unlikely to announce that he has

already done so. the president's plan in the words of aides is to lay out strategy for degrading and destroying isis. what is a complex challenge in an unpredictable region. with isis overrunning iraq tonight the president makes his case for going on offense. a strategy he previewed behind closed doors with top congressional leaders tuesday. while president obama ruled out u.s. ground troops the senior administration official tells nbc news the president asked lawmakers for the authority to train syrian opposition. white house aides say it must happen before congress goes on recess next week. in a statement house speaker boehner expressed support for some of the president's proposals including training and equipping opposition. aides say the president does not believe he needs congressional authority for expanded military action. press secretary.

>> the president believes this is a high national security priority. >> reporter: overnight secretary of state john kerry made an unannounced stop in iraq part of his mid east tour which according to one aid says has not required a lot of arm twisting. the president will not give operational details. this is not a short term proposition an aid said. this primetime address comes one year and a day since president obama's last speech. after two barbaric beheadings of american journalists -- >> it enraged americans. >> reporter: of course, then the target was the assad regime in syria. this time it is isis militants. the primetime nature of the speech under scores its stakes and a significant shift for this president who wanted to leave the white house as the peace

time president but is now likely to commit the country to what could be a costly military campaign. >> chuck todd is nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." peter said the president wanted to leave as a peace time president. isis makes the decision whether he leaves as a war time president. >> he has been reluctant. we know he seemed to be the last one in the administration acknowledging that there needed to be a military campaign if there wasn't a political solution here. >> he makes this speech on the eve of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and as a new "wall street journal" poll shows half americans feel less safe now than just before the 9/11 attacks and polling shows two-thirds of americans say it is in our best interest to confront. >> usually a president goes to primetime and tries to rally the

nation behind him. in this case the nation is there. they are trying to find out if the president is with them. these beheadings, it was the most followed news story that we have tracked in five years. that is where this fear comes from. >> don't expect to hear the minutia of the plan in the speech tonight. we know the training and the support of the syrian opposition. the president has asked congress for the authority to do that. i want to read you something he said to the "new york times" talking to tom freedman he said there is not as much capacity as you would hope when it comes to finding, training and arming a sufficient number of those opposition members. so he is about to contradict himself tonight? >> i feel like he has. this is not the solution. the solution when you talk to him and what he was saying to me in the interview and his aides say the solution is saudi troops

and uae troops and turkish troops. this moderate opposition, the reason the president has been reluctant to arm them before is they barely exist. >> the speech will raise questions. how long will this take? how much will it cost? can it be accomplished? can you defeat isis without u.s. troops on the ground? >> those questions are why the president was so reluctant in the first place. he hasn't gotten a good answer from his own aids as to what happens. >> nbc news will have live coverage of the president's address to the nation tonight at 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific time. thank you so much. there is more fallout this morning tied to the ray rice scandal and that video of rice knocking out his then-fiance. she and rice are now speaking out while the nfl and baltimore ravens do damage control. nbc's josh elliott has details. >> good morning, hoda.

in the hours after the horrific video surfaced ray rice was fired, suspended indefinitely from the league. this morning the outcry intensifies as sponsors cut ties with rice and the public's fury grows as the league and the former team disclose about what they believe they knew about the assault and when. baltimore ravens owner published an open letter to ravens fans tuesday saying team officials had not seen the new footage before monday but claims police, prosecutors and the presiding judge had seen it and allowed rice, a first time offender to enter a probationary program. he does say the team deserves blame writing seeing the video changed everything. we should have seen it earlier and pursued our own investigation more vigorously. we didn't and we were wrong. nfl commissioner roger goodell

addressed the question so many ask still, how is it possible the league hadn't seen the footage made public by tmz sports before monday? goodell spoke with cbs news. >> we had not seen video tape of what occurred in the elevator. we assumed there was a video and asked for a video and for anything pertinent but were never granted that opportunity. >> reporter: many find that contention hard to believe. >> this is the nfl. they can do pretty much anything that they want. to claim we asked for it and had no way of getting ahold of it begs reality. >> reporter: reality for ray rice is bleak today. major sponsors such as nike have terminated deals with him. while ea sports is removing his image from the best selling football game. the ravens and two sporting goods chains announce programs where fans can exchange their unwanted rice jersey. some had no interest in the trade.

on a day when flowers were delivered to his home rice thanked supporters saying i have to be strong for my wife. she's so strong. his wife lashed out on the media on instagram writing to make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. with regard to the claim made by the ravens that authorities investigating the incident had seen that tape we have sought comment but thus far have received no response. as for rice he is in the process of hiring. >> there is a lot more to discuss. you will come back at 8:00 to chat with us on more. thanks, hoda. al warned us about the threat of severe storms in the midwest yesterday. it happened overnight. >> we have amazing video. you have to see this. this is just north of las vegas. watch the car on the left.

members by shutting down courses accommodate the president during the busy holiday weekend. >> probably the most important weekend of the year for golf. 240 members are not going to say, hey, let the president come out, i'm not going to play. there's no way that would happen. >> denied a tee time by the top courses, the president headed to the white house before returning the next day it attend a wedding. the white house explaining the itinerary change by saying -- >> he is sleep in his own bed, do work, spend time with his family, then travel back to new york tomorrow evening. >> the country club snub comes shortly after the president took heavy criticism for golfing last month during his vacation, just minutes after denouncing the militants who executed journalist james foley. in an interview with chuck todd on "meet the press," the president acknowledged his timing could have been better. >> i should have anticipated the optics. >> reporter: this isn't the first time a president has been turned away. at least one of the courses denied bill clinton membership when he first moved to the area.

denying any preferential treatment, even for a presidential tee time. some club officials said president obama's not the first president they've turned down over the years. and he wasn't, by the way, the only head of state rejected over labor day weekend. the king of morocco also tried and failed to secure a tee time at some of the same courses. >> wow. [ laughter ] >> by the way, could we put in a call to lester and erica so we could get everybody -- >> yeah. >> people around the table play -- >> could we put in one to deborah and ask -- >> a call out to our news president. >> there you go. >> all right. now, did the live event live up to the hype? >> apple delivered a smartwatch and free album. we're gauginging the reaction on line. >> good morning. let's go into my office. a little crowded here.

trial. "today" national investigative correspondent, jeff rossen, takes you inside the scene of the deadly shooting for the first time. he joins us from pretoria. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning you to. yeah, the countdown is on to this moment of truth. will oscar pistorius go free or go to prison? as you mentioned, the verdict less than 24 hours away now. this morning, you'll see this case like you've never seen it before. we are taking you inside the actual shooting scene for the first time on american tv. nbc news given exclusive access inside pistorius' bedroom, even inside the bathroom where he pulled the trigger. the story is he sold the house to pay legal bills. the new owner allowed us to come over. since the shooting, oscar pivot' luxury mansion has -- pistorius' luxury mansion has been off limits. the only images inside, these gruesome crime scene photos taken hours after he shot and

killed his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. until now. let me walk you through the shooting step by step in the very spot where it happened. that's right through here. oscar pistorius' master suite. it happened in the middle of the night. pistorius' bed was right over here. you sigh they'-- you see they'v gotten rid of the furniture. reeva was in bed, he had come off the balcony. pistorius says he was at this spot in the bedroom when he heard a noise from down that hallway around the corner of the master bathroom. thought there was an intruder. prosecutors say if that's true, why wouldn't he walk two inches, wake reeva up, and both run out the front door, make a safe escape, a way from the intruder? instead pistorius came to this side of the bed, keeps his gun under here. took the gun out, and immediately drew his weapon, holding it in his right hand. important to note, he was walking on his stumps. no prosthetic legs at this

point. he's using his left arm, he says, to walk down this hallway of cabinets toward the bathroom and holding his gun out the entire time. here we are at the entranceway to the bathroom. he says he was creeping by, held his gun out and pointed it right at the toilet door. that's when pistorius says he heard another noise. thought the toilet door was open and the intruder was coming at him. he fired four shots. we now know that's not true. the door was completely shut. it was completely locked. it wasn't an intruder, it was reeva. prosecutors say how did he make that mistake? we're talking about, what, one, two, three, four steps to get to the bathroom. why wouldn't reeva be screaming, "oscar, it's me, not an intruder?" you get the idea when i stand here how small this room is. and you think about reeva's final moments and the terror she must have in.

nowhere to run. nowhere to hide. she barely had room to move. the bullet holes are still here in the walls. pistorius still maintains on the stand this was all self-defense. >> my lady, i didn't have time to think. i was dealt with a situation in which i had to protect reeva, and his to protect myself. >> reporter: we brought our south african legal expert over here to the scene to help analyze this. you were telling me even if there really was an intruder here inside behind this toilet door, you still can't shoot at people. >> in order for oscar's version of self-defense to succeed, he had to prove that his life and reeva's life were in immediate and definite danger and that he acted the way he did in order to protect their lives. you showed us how close this is to the bathroom door. there's no way in which she could have not seen the door of closed and could have perceived this as a danger to his life. >> reporter: what do you think this means for the verdict? >> being here, seeing how small the cubicle is and the bathroom, i think his version is

improbable. >> reporter: after the shooting, pistorius realized it was reeva in. there he put -- in there. he put on his prosthetic legs and broke down the door for help. that's when he says he picked reeva up and physically carried her out of the bedroom and here to the stairs trying to get her to an ambulance. pistorius says even in his arms, reeva was unresponsive but was breathing when he got to the foot of the stairs. pistorius says he laid reeva down and at this moment, in his arms, she took her final breath and died. the question before the judge which we'll get an answer to this week -- was this just an accident as he claims, or cold-blooded murder? absolutely chilling to be inside that home. you can still see the blood mark actually on some of the sections of the carpeting. tomorrow, as we mentioned, a huge day. the judge delivers her verdict. we'll be here for you. >> jeff rossen in pretoria. thank you very much. as we mentioned, the expected

verdict tomorrow. we'll have coverage on the show. we'll check weather from al. >> we'll show you what's happening. we've got a big change coming as far as temperatures are concerned over the next 48 hours. behind this front, it's a big -- this is the one causing the rain. bismarck today, 57 for the high. cutbank, montana, 32 below normal. 36 for the high. ahead of the front, dallas, you'll be at 100 degrees today. ten degrees above normal. lexington at 88. thursday, we're going to see a drop in temperatures, and friday even colder. houston, jackson, atlanta all ahead, above normal. behind it, temperatures are going to really plunge. cutbank, high of 46. minneapolis, 60. 68 in st. louis. dallas, low 70s into friday. risk of strong storms again in the upper midwest today. along the eastern seaboard, gorgeous weather. maybe even snow today in parts of western montana. they have winter storm warnings at glacier national park. that

everybody. and starting point for always is it should be measurable, verifiable and breakable. and that's how we treat each record holder. >> i'm telling you right now. >> like your of a row. he is our first holder. now this is a little dog who can walk on just two legs. >> that is correct. >> for how long? >> well he is a four-year-old pomerani pomeranian. and he holds two records. the fastest time to cover two meeters in about 6.56 seconds. and also the fastest five meters on his front legs and 7.76 seconds. >> look at him go. >> isn't he the cutest? >> he just did it a few seconds ago -- >> he wants that streak, baby. he does. >> he has 1.3 million followers on facebook. >> i think his owner's going to come in. you can step in. you want to come on in. >> he looks stressed. >> he wants his mommy.

found the right cat. >> really? >> that's what they say. if you're allergic to cats, a hypo allergenic cat? >> yeah, the one from austin powers. >> a cute one? >> big old words. >> by the way, these were saved by north shore animal league america. they are all up for adoption. if you can get this one out of my neck. you can head to today.com. up next, round two of the one direction fan faceoff, but first, this is "today" on nbc.

natalie and tamron. ray rice's wife janay, lashed out in the media in an instagram post. she wrote yesterday, to make us relive a moment is a horrible thing. to taking something away from the man i love that worked his butt off just to gain ratings is horrific. if your tension were to take all happiness in away, you've succeeded on so many levels. understand she's very upset right now. let's be clear, she is the victim in all this. but this didn't just happen to ray rice, it happened to his family. did he it. he did it, but it happened to his family. she's been there at his side for a long time. he's lost all of his endorsement deals. they have lost their financial future so she is obviously very upset about what is happening right now. >> and understandably so, but the fact is, we're not doing this for ratings. this is not about ratings. it's a bigger, a much bigger issue. and i think -- >> but when you're hurt. >> yeah, you lash out. >> you lash out. she is going through, abuse experts will tell you, you circle the wagon, this is her

family, she feels she is protecting her family. and some of these cases, we don't know her personally. her story belongs to her. when she is ready to share it, i'm sure he shall will. for abuse victims i've spoken with, they have to keep their family together. and oftentimes, they will blame themselves. something i did that night, something i did a week ago set off these events. what she's doing, let me, i don't to want say what she's doing because we don't know. what abuse victims in similar cases have done, is that they circle the wagon, they are embarrassed and trying to protect their family. and her evolution belongs to her at this point. >> it tushl usually takes about seven instances of abuse for victims to finally come forward and recognize and to take action in their lives. >> women in my group, which we have here on "today" who were abused from 13 to 20s. there's no magic formula, most of them said to me they hit rock bottom.

but what is your rock bottom? >> everyone's different. >> her time will perhaps come, or maybe not. >> it's easy for people to say a thousand miles away, walk away. but it's much more implicated. >> it's so complicated, then you have, on the flipside of this, a lot of people pointing the finger at the nfl and saying hey, you know what, you could have, if you wanted to find this video, if you wanted to find all this, you should have, and there was an interview on cbs news with nfl commissioner roger goodell, he addresses how it's possible the nfl hadn't seen the footage before monday. >> not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. we assumed that there was a video. we asked for video, we asked for anything that was pertinent. but we were never granted that opportunity. >> how hard did they ask? >> i mean they're a powerful organization, they certainly could have obtained the video had they really wanted to see it. >> should we also be asking about the legal system?

the owner of the ravens team now says the judge in the case, the prosecutor and police have all seen the entire video and decided to allow ray rice to enter this probation program that would essentially clear his record. so the raven's owner, part of their statement which you have more of, points to the justice system which is a part of the conversation for some. >> yeah. and actually ray rice himself spoke out very briefly said, i have to be strong for my wife, she's so strong, we are in good spirits. so that's the extent of the comment we've had from ray rice. but a lot of the focus on the nfl right now and our friend norah o'donnell did with the commissioner goodell yesterday. and it defied belief that no one in the league saw the tape or didn't try very hard to have plausible deniability. >> they felt, we feel that we have to see the tape. goes back to the aftermath of what was very much seen and you see the aftermath. and i understand, you know, ray rice is a brilliant, was a

brilliant player, has a great career, so you don't want to the prejudge or presume what happened in the elevator, but when you see him dragging his wife out of the elevator, i mean, it's very hard to not know something went really wrong inside there. >> and it's also hard when people say well he is a great guy. he never showed signs, well for so many, it happens behind closed doors. used to be seen as a private event. what happens in the home stays in the home. and how do you say that someone is a good guy when you see that video? you have to choose your words carefully and know that, in many cases again, this is happening in closed -- no one walks into work and says, i beat my wife last night. >> jenna wolf did a terrific piece earlier on today. she spoke to four nfl wives, they're married to former nfl players, and they really, they had a great take on janay and this situation. take a look.

>> janay is educated, young woman, college degree, student athlete, so it was never a let me use ray as a meal ticket. everything they're trying to build, they're trying to build together and be a family. and they made this one big mistake. >> i do believe the nfl mishandled this situation tremendously. the nfl can figure out who draft picks or potential draft picks are dating, what their grades are in school, but they couldn't find this video. i think that's troubling. >> one of the things on social media. yesterday the #whyistayed was trending. i'm happy that this wife spoke about the money issue. there were people who said she's staying because of the money. and i sent a note to someone who e-mailed, then what do you say when the person doesn't have money? or how do you come to that conclusion? >> it happens across the board. >> absolutely. >> the comment made by the last of the four women we saw there about the nfl knowing about the

draft picks and so true. this morning on "mj joe" we had mike gol golic of the nfl. he's a great analyst and said if you're being drafted, they know what you had for lunch last week. and they know what's in the bloodstreams, they're testing everybody. if the nfl security wants to find something, they will find it. and they say they could not find this tape. >> answers that need to be provided to the public from roger goodell, and i go back again to the prosecutors in the case, their decision to offer, even though it was the first time offense, when you look at the brutality of the video on all vantage points and they saw this, let us know what happened there. because what you have now are women who are abused and they say, well, if i turn this person in, is that what he'll get? he'll be on probation? cleared record. >> then there's the whole question about are they given an extra because they're stars, because they're part of the nfl? it's a completely different form of justice.

the nfl has this problem. we talked about all the other cases, greg hardy continues to play, he was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend and threatening to kill her, he threw her across the room on a couch full of assault rifles he said were loaded and was threatening to kill her. but he continues to play because he's appealing the case. so while he's appealing the case, they say okay, he can go on and play. >> but the big picture here is it's not a ray rice, janay rice issue, it's not an nfl issue, it's a social crisis across the board as you both pointed out. >> and it's an important conversation and you hate, i mean, there is no ploy for ratings here or anything, but it is an important conversation. and i think because it is going, going on so prevasively across american, people don't see it. you know, she said, it's happening behind closed doors. it is important to raise awareness and raise your voice. >> the discussion will continue. and one thing, people were all yesterday on social media that people were talking about, apple unveiling the two new iphones.

iphone 6, and the iphone 6 plus, and the apple watch. one of the first gadgets. of course i do. why wouldn't i? >> the iphone 6, there it is. >> trap a butterfly inside. it's amazing. there are three different versions of the watch. sport version, fancy version, basic version. there is the iphone 6 which is bigger than the iphone 5s and the iphone 6 plus which is meant to compete with like the galaxy phone by samsung. so faster, longer lasting battery, better cameras, also have this nfc, near field communication technology that will allow you to use the phone as a wallet. basically, it'll import your credit cards. >> apple pay. >> you would go into the store? >> you know the pads? >> the will wand things? >> exactly.

>> well, it's the same technology that's in the smart credit cards, same kind of thing. you would use that. and also in the watch as well. >> sold. >> it's interesting. it is going to be interesting to see what happens. >> this is not the first smart watch, though, right? >> no, a number have had it ped. a in your opinion have had them. >> it's not cheap, about $100 more. >> this is like 300 -- >> $100 more expensive. >> watches don't come out until the beginning of the year. they missed the holiday cutoff. >> well, there is always valentine's day! >> i'd be happy. and then the phones come out, i think in a week or so. would you be my valentine? >> is this like, i mean before apple would make an announcement and people would just go crazy and you'd stand in line? there are some lines, but the question is, al, since you're the techie expert here, has apple lost its luster? >> well, we'll see. it's interesting. this has happened the last couple of times, their stock drops. but then it rebound. we'll see what happens.

but i think people are still waiting. once the stuff comes out, i'm sure people will be clamoring. >> it's because we expected this. everything they came out with is what they expected. i think that's -- >> i think the watch is going to be interesting. >> do you think the non-tech geek is going to wear the watch? is that a niche item? >> i think they will. eventually. i think they will. >> it pulls up the car, you can be like the spy. it's a spy watch! >> it's dick tracy, two way whistle. >> you go first. >> you go first. that's right. you take the lead. i'll tell you what, we have severe weather that's going on right now and it's been continuing overnight. where we see severe storms. we have again the risk of severe weather today into tonight from central missouri on into indiana, ft. wayne, detroit, we are looking at chicago as well. right now, sun's out in detroit, but later today, strong storms, we have heavy showers and thunderstorms dominating the midwest, so probably airport
