a night filled with star-studded performances, questionable outfits, and a rather bizarre on stage interruption from yes, kanye west. saying it's no joke monday, february 9, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning. welcome to "today." 7:00 a.m. on the west coast on this monday, could we do a grammy note. so happy for sam smith. one of the nicest people to sing on this show in a long time. >> it was his night for sure. kanye, oh, kanye. >> more about that coming up. let's get to the top story. again it's weather. storms are bringing dangerous flooding to the west while we here in the northeast are dealing with a dangerous mix of snow, ice and rain. we'll get to al's forecast in ament mo.

first, nbc's miguel almaguer is in seattle. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. certainly wild weather out west over the weekend. the so-called pineapple express delivering a one-two punch here, let's begin in washington state where the pineapple express, the atmospheric river dumped rain in washington state. one community flooded under 3 to 4 feet of watt e roads washed away. there was landslides in areas, the entire region is under a mud slide alert because the ground is so saturated. below us in california they also have their hands full of wild weather, they had significant winds and inches of rain. that state in a severe drought, though the storm delivered a lot of water it didn't help the snowpack. there was plenty of damage across this region this morning folks are drying out, the system moving out of the way we did get several inches from washington state to california. matt, back to you. >> i'm going to take that from you.

we are looking at more wet weather in the pacific northwest. the good news is not as much as we had been seeing, we have high wind were waings and flood watches in for the pacific northwest and we watch more rain push through and as it does again, the scattered showers and thunderstorms you can see seattle right now they are looking at more wet weather, more rainfall, 1 to 2 inches but that will be it and that's the good news. back here in the northeast, we've got potentially crippling snowstorm going on. dylan dreyer is driving in the blue mobile on the streets of boston. how are things looking there? >> well, we already have more than a foot on the ground in boston and another foot is on the way. the roads are bad but the trains aren't much better. there is a disabled train on the red line track, the southbound side has been stuck for barometric pressure two hours. crews have been working to get passengers off of the train safely and now forced to walk out in the snow which is miserable in and of itself.

for the roads we're seeing them completely snow covered, taking a look out you can see we still have reduced visibility because of the steady snow. the banks are getting higher which is understandable considering we had about five feet of snow fall in a couple weeks. there is no travel ban in effect because the thinking is instead of this being a powerful hard hitting nor'easter this is more of a long duration steady snow event so the crews should be able to keep on top of this. either way the roads are slippery, icy, back near albany, new york we have cars off the side of the road as this storm got started friday night. we expect to see steady snow throughout the entire day, and then for folks who are kind of sick of the snow unfortunately, al, as you know we could see more snow by the end of the week and programs some of the coldest temperatures we've seen so far this season. >> that's right. and in fact, we look at the snowfall amount, we've got the snowiest 30 days on record for boston, 61.6 inches of snow. and it's still coming down. new york right now a sleety

mess, snow covered roads. we're looking for another 3 to 6 inches but some areas picking up to a foot in and around the boston area. and here in the new york area we're looking at another tenth of an inch of ice and some of the coldest temperatures coming in and two clippers that may intensify and cause major snowfall accumulations. especially for the same hard hit areas by saturday. >> thank you so much. we'll turn to the fight against isis, the u.s. is joining with jordanian fighter pilots in a large scale air assault. this as the parents of an arizona woman held hostage remain hopeful that she is still alive. keir simmons is in jordan for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the jordanian air force say they have been pounding isis targets with 2,000-pound bombs like these, flying these f-16s with the support of the u.s. air force. back home a family in arizona

are praying for their daughter held hostage by isis. >> we're very proud of so many of our young people. >> reporter: kayla's family and friends have not lost faith. >> they are weary but hopeful for kayla's return. >> reporter: in her hometown of prescott, arizona, no news since friday's isis claim that the 26-year-old had been killed. >> when you were the kid on the playground that got knocked down by the bully she would be the first to come over and give you a hug. >> reporter: thousands mifls away in iraq and syria jor doynian military officials say isis is suffering heavy losses, but they say these bombs did not kill kayla as isis claimed. >> we did not actually target any target in the vicinity where they claim that kayla was held hostage. >> reporter: a caution evidence early this morning when we joined jordan's pilots preparing for a mission, there were

canceled this time. still they say the isis leader himself is in their sights. >> we have eyes on the air for targets. >> in your view he is frightened? >> no doubt about it. >> reporter: and at dawn u.s. f-16s took off from here. their campaign gaining momentum preparing for a ground assault, without the help of u.s. troops according to john kerry on "meet the press." >> there have to be ground troops involved in order to win this victory. and it's clear they are not going to be american. they are going to be iraqi. >> reporter: the u.s. envoy who saids up that international alliance of countries says a ground offensive may take place but there are many questioning whether the iraqi army is to lead that is really capable of that, even with this kind of air

support. >> thank you. david axelrod served to president obama and he is the author of a new book called "believer." good to speak with you. we'll talk about the book. let me ask you about this. the president ruled out ground troops to fight isis. he has been fond of saying the tide of war is receding. reality seems to tell a different story. do you think he underestimated the threat of isis? >> look, when i think back to when i arrived at white house we had 180,000 troops on the ground in afghanistan and mostly in iraq, the guy who was the architect of the worst terrorist attack in history was at large and all of his lieutenants, we had a credible threat on washington on inauguration day. i wrote about that in my book. so are we better off today than we were then? i think we are. but this is going to be an ongoing problem that this president's going to have to struggle with and i suspect future presidents are going to have to struggle with. >> let's talk about a different foreign policy issue.

the israeli prime minister and president obama where speaker boehner invited benjamin netanyahu to address the congress to argue for more sanctions, something that the president doesn't agree with. does that feel like a dis to you? you probably have insight into this relationship between president obama and netanyahu. >> clearly they haven't gotten along, disagreed on a number of things. i think this has more to do with israeli politics and the fact that benjamin netanyahu has very close election two weeks after his visit to congres this was cooked up by people who wanted to promote his candidacy. unfortunately it's at the expense perhaps of very delicate peace talks. i regret that. >> let's talk politics. you are an expert on that. after 40 years as the book mentions you think bush versus clinton race in 2016 is good for the country? i know you're probably going to vote for the democrat. >> i like both of them, actually. i think you know, it's easy to say that but let's see what the

quality of the race is. bush is already out there speaking about income inequality which i think is a great sign. and the problems of the middle class. hillary i think will come out with some strong ideas on the same subject and maybe different ideas and we can have a national debate. i think the bush/clinton thing will fade away when the personalities come forward. >> you write in the book that the question of whether racism animated some of the president's critics was a question you deflected for time in government but -- >> and questions from you. >> you take it on in the book and say directly some folks refuse to accept the legitimacy of the first black president and are discomforted about i the growing diversity of our country. is that your view? does the president share that? >> it's my view or i wouldn't have written it. i'm sure he feels that way too. is that the main reason for the opposition to him, no. but has any other president experienced someone shouting "you lie" in the u.s. congress, or persistent questions about

his citizenship. no. i think that reflects attitudes in some people in this country. >> let's clear manage smg up. a controversy last week. you write in the book when candidate romney called president obama to concede on election night on 2012 that the president hung up and reported to you oh, he said yeah, we turned out the vote in milwaukee and he thinks it's all about -- and cleveland and in other words, black people, that's what he thinks this is all about. now romney's man has said i was right next to romney. he never said anything such thing. >> there were five people around the president when he got off the phone, all of them have the same recollection, several of them have gone public since this started. i don't think the president made that up. i don't think romney was trying to be ungracious either but you know, we had come through a long battle. they saw this through different lenses. it's natural to have these reactions. >> the book is "believer." you talked about when the president threw an expletive at you. >> he didn't remember but i did.

>> good to have you. let's go over to tamron. >> good morning everyone. president obama welcomes german chancellor angela merkel to the white houls for a critical meeting on the situation in eastern ukraine. merkel is expected to brief the president on a plan to end fighting between ukraine and pro-russian rebels, the meeting as the u.s. considers sending weapons to help ukraine troops. merkel has given vladamir putin a wednesday deadline to agree to a blueprint to end the fighting. >> today alabama began issuing marriage licenses after the supreme court refused to stop them from being issued. alabama the 37th state where gays can legally wed. later this term the supreme court agreed to rule whether the constitution rirs states to license and recognize niles marriage for same sex-sex couples. >> hundreds of california residents hope to return home after a devastating wild fire forced them to evacuate.

at least 39 homes were destroyed in a tiny town 250 residents fled on friday as winds up to 75 miles per hour fanned the flames. firefighters have contained a majority of that blaze. >> at least 25 people were killed sunday after a riot broke out during a soccer match near cairo, egypt. fans were trying to force their way in when police used tear gas, many of the victims were trampled as the crowd tried to run. egypt's soccer fans are known as ultras and frequently clash with police. 74 people were killed at a soccer match in cairo. british bank is responding to reports that it helped wealthy customers dodge taxes and conceal millions of assets. hsbc said the swiss arm of the bank had not fen fully integrated into hsbc after its

purchase in 199 and allowed significantly lower standards of compliance to persist. it said the industry operated differently in the past but it has fundamentally changed. >> college basketball lost a legend. long time coach dean smith died at the age of 83. michael jordan is the among the great players smith coached during his 36 years at the university of north carolina. smith won two national championships and was inducted in the basketball hall of fame in 1983. >> and incredible piece of video making rounds on the internet today, as if jumping out of a plane is not terrifying enough, imagine it's a few seconds later the very plane was nose diving toward you. here you can see take a look, the instructor trying to tell the passenger what was going on. the plane barely misses them, came so close that the wing clipped part of the parachute. everyone is okay and they landed

safely, no word on why that plane got so close. guys, we've been looking at this video for hours trying to figure out how this happened. >> you look at the instructor pointing to the student, look, here comes the plane. not realizing it was coming that close. that could have ended badly. >> this is why i don't sky dive. >> there is another reason. >> one more reason. >> mr. roker, what's shaking? >> let's show you what we have around the country today. the wet weather in the pacific northwest, windy conditions, fog in the upper mississippi river valley, a mess in the northeast, and part of that same system bringing shower activity along the mid-atlantic states into southern florida, and central florida as well. coast looking pretty good. plenty of sunshine with warmer than usual temperatures through texas into the southwest.

plenty lately. cameras captured the exact moment bruce jenner's cadillac slammed into the car' head and videotape shows him seconds after impact. police say the paparazzi who track nearly every move jenner makes probably did not trigger the crash that killed one woman and hospitalized seven other people. >> unlikely due to the fact there was traffic and other cars stopped. >> a toyota slowed down or stopped on the highway and rear-ended by a woman in a lexus. jenner's escalade hit the lexus pushing it into traffic where a hummer slammed into the car killing the woman behind the wheel of the lexus. jenner was not hurt and in a statement calls the crash a devastating tragedy, adding i cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. i am praying for them. the former olympic champion and current reality star has been a tabloid fixture with reports he

is in the process of transitioning to life as a woman. police say jenner was cooperative, passing a sobriety test and offering a blood sample and it does not appear jenner was the cause of the crash. authorities will also be investigating the other drivers involved in this crash, trying to answer questions like why that first car had stopped originally, legal analysts say it's possible no charges could be filed in this if police determine it was simply an accident. matt. >> hallie jackson, thank you. lisa bloom is today's legal analyst. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> picking up with what hally said, bruce jenner toork a sobriety test and passed. he is cooperating. yet police are conducting an investigation to see if this was a case of vehicular manslaughter, what kind of evidence would they need to come up with a charge like that? >> certainly helps that he's remorseful and cooperative, but there is going to be a blood test. i'm sure there was one taken at

the hospital to determine if alcohol and drugs were involved, look at the skid marks a it the scene and information from his car as to how fast he was going and the bottom line was he negligent, did he do something that caused this crash. >> one of the things reported although i have not seen it confirmed by the police, is that perhaps, perhaps he was carrying a cell phone, perhaps even texting. does that, even if that is proven does it prove that he caused the crash? >> no, it dent. but those are important factors in california you cannot drive holding a cell phone and certainly you can't drive while texting. and the records will reveal whether that happened. the second issue is causation. there were four cars involved. was this his fault in substantial part. >> and he has been in the headlines for a lot of reasons, as a result he's being constantly followed by the paparazzi. might someone draw a link and say there was cause, the police said they don't think it's going to happen but if charges are

brought down the line, might bruce jenner say well, by the way, i was being hounded? >> sure. if i'm his attorney i'm going to look closely at that, matt. you see all of these pictures, they were taken by the paparazzi. paparazzi were there. the only question is were they chasing him, were they following at an unsafe distance which is illegal in california. was that part of the reason why this happened. >> lisa plume, thank you very much. >> now a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> announcer: today's weather by kay jeweler. every kiss begins with kay. >> while we've had a lot going on in the east out west we've been active as well. over the weekend, up toward a foot of rain falling throughout parts of the pacific northwest, in northern california. this is washington state. a lot of flooding there. and in california as well, fair amount of flooding, a lot of big problems in the burn areas where they lost a lot of vegetation

differently back then? >> no because i have to take my decision and that was what i decided. we watched every week for 40 years. everyone tunes in and so do we. >> you said that doctors never thought you would be successful but you proved them wrong. >> i'm having a good life. what a pleasure and thank you for inviting me. >> always good to have you. here's hank fake snakes and weird lizards. >> can i say one thing? amazon picked it as the book of the month for children from 6 to 10. >> thank you. congratulations on that. back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc. can't say thank you enough. you have made my life special by being apart

kanye is not so happy. that meant beyonce didn't win. he ran up on stage and prince was there. kanye ran up on stage and then -- at the time i'm watching and i thought he is kidding. he is giving us a little kanye because he did it with taylor swift to show us he had a sense of humor. this was kanye's interview after the show. >> beck needs to respect artistry and should have given his award to beyonce. >> i don't believe he can mean that. kanye is a smart guy and a great artist and he knows beck is a great artist and i'm sure they will do an album together. >> but why do the take away of somebody else's moment. why do that? are you that egotistical or that needy that you have to do something like that?

who are you to say that beck's album that is recognized as a fairly artistic fellow. >> he is a music expert and beck is considered widely throughout the industry as a true artist, but the word that bugged me in that he needs to respect. no, you need to respect beck. >> respect other people. shut up and sit down and stop. you have a beautiful wife and a gorgeous child and a great career. shut up and stop. >> there is a great vine that someone took. kanye gets on the stage and there was a shot of jay and beyonce. they go no. when he smiles and comes up, they laugh and clap. it was not to taylor swift and all that stuff. i thought the same thing. >> then he gives that interview. >> it's too bad because he is a great artist. >> sorry he trolling us so we talk about him? >> for that's what he wanted to

do, doing it at the expense of others. stop. >> he respects kanye's and he took the high road. they took the high road and maybe one day they will. >> after he did that why did he interview him. ignore him. >> we will ignore him for the rest of the segment. my favorite moment as i watched for the two of you. annie lennox last night with the mash up from heaven. >> i put a spell on you and said take me to church. >> annie lennox killed it with her voice. you can see the respect on the front row. the superstars looking up at her. saying wow. she was incredible.

plays. he is writing this after elizabeth i. he is saying things about the queen in the form of cleopatra that he couldn't say while she was alive. the details bring the plays alive. >> i think they ought to show the program in high school english classes. it teaches you about the plays and the context of them and the history of what was going on in the world at the time. >> it takes away ever fear of shakespeare. in the hands of people like morgan freeman and david harwood and joseph to tell these great stories that shakespeare has written and make them fun and familiar. he is writing about what it is to be human. that hasn't changed over the last 400 years. whether you are at the grammys or not. it also gives you another chance to show your range.

many people or millions fell in love with samantha, but you have been at this a long time and your depth as an actress is tremendous. >> thank you. i was clear about playing cleopatra both times not to just make her a sexual object. she is a politician and she is pretty sexy too. >> shakespeare could have written "sex and the city" back then. >> he was writing for the masses. unfortunately not writing for women. for young boys to play because women were not allowed on the stage. i wonder if he would have changed anything if he could have had women portraying the great great roles. >> how many times a day do people scream samantha at you? right? is it still constant? >> it is but i see it as the most wonderful compliment that people remember the character

and love the show and just really remember it as a time that was cherished about really learning what it is to be human and female today. >> will there be another movie? >> i don't know. as i said earlier i never say never anymore. things have happened in my life that i never expected. never say never. >> years ago we were at a dinner together. she said i'm doing this pilot for this little show. i don't know if it's going to go.
