them. >> joanie ernst delivered the republican response. >> congress is back to work on your behalf ready to make washington focus on your concerns again. >> one of several republicans offering their take on the president. >> he wants to claim there has been a great economic recovery and a lot of people say it's tepid. we still have these problems are income inequality and i wonder whose fault that is. >> in iowa voters will kickoff the presidential picking process. three generations of the eller family judged the president's performance. >> i felt like the president emphasized the character of our nation. >> he speaks well gets the message across real well. whether he can do it or not is another subject, you know. >> the president will hit the road again this morning to
7:05 am
punctuate his message. kansas tomorrow both red states. the bottom line it sounded like a democratic party platform speech putting the president on a collision course with republicans. matt? >> peter alexander, thank you very much. joe biden is the vice president of the united states. mr. vice president, good morning. >> good morning, matt how are you? >> i want to talk about the speech in a second but i want to talk about the shooting in delaware over the weekend. reports that security cameras did not capture images of a gunman or gunmen. do you feel safe being there or having your family there? >> i feel completely safe being there. what they establish is someone going by at a fairly high rate of speed shot four shots probably in the air. they could have easily shot and hit the guard shack or there is a garage up front.
7:06 am
no evidence of any bullet holes anywhere. reports that an hour later, similar shots were heard about a mile and a half down the same road. i'm not worried about it. i think the security of my home is fine. >> let's talk about the speech then. a lot was made about the fact that this was the first time the president was delivering a state of the union address in that room where both bodies of congress were controlled by the republican majority. you were hitting there. did the room feel different in more tension than normal? >> no it didn't. as a matter of fact it felt the opposite. i think what's happened is it's not donned on but the republicans realize they are in control and have to govern. it's a split government and they have the responsible of governing. that's why i'm more optimistic of getting things done than i was before. everybody knows they won the election and control both houses and now what are we going to do about the middle class?
7:07 am
what are you going to do to help the middle class? >> the one odd moment that a lot of people are talking about, mr. vice president where the president was talking about having arguments worthy of the body and the country and he said i have run my last campaign and there was a smattering of applause and maybe laughter from some republicans and the president shot back. did you see that as a moment of disrespect? was it a symptom of the very pettiness that the president was referring to? >> look matt. i sat through a lot of state of the union with eight different presidents. similar things have occurred. it's the nature of a body of 535 people and there is always something like that that comes out. i don't think it represented an institutional disrespect for the president. >> the president spent a lot of time talking about the economy. did you get a sense in that room
7:08 am
that there was a glimmer of hope that republicans in that room would be willing to go along with a tax hike on the wealthy to pay for that tax cut for the middle class. taking care of the middle class is not a partisan issue. the way you want to pay for it seems to be partisan. >> there is nothing partisan about saying this unique group of people gets $210 billion. the trust fund babies. if you go out, matt and buy stock and buy $10 and it appreciates to $20 and sell it you pay a capital gains on $10. if the person dies and they get the money, they pay no tax on that. it's trust fund babies. nobody thinks there is productive value to that and it's going to damage the wealth
7:09 am
or the capability of people who have that kind of money. the question is my dad said if everything is equally important, nothing is important. is it better to spend the money with that tax expenditure or by giving middle class people a break on child care or a tax break on home ownership or education? i don't think it's close. if you notice matt you have an awful lot of republicans claiming credit for the republicans. everybody acknowledges the recovery. how do you deal with the middle class back in fully. for the first time i don't think you have heard in the last eight years republicans use the phrase middle class as much as lately. they know they need respect to restore wealth and their income base. lastly matt the two things that will work as they said jobs and we will continue to track jobs from around the world
7:10 am
and corporations from around the world if we had two things. the most highly skilled workforce and the best infrastructure. based on the republican ideas. i'm convinced there is a core of republicans who still think the basic principals have nothing to do with politics. >> you are known as a guy who can work a room. do you think you can work that room vice president biden? could you bring those people together to work for the american people? >> being president and being a leader in the senate are two different things. when i was in the senate i had the honor of being able to work the room. i was fairly effective and getting controversial things resolved. it was relating to law enforcement and violence against women act and it was reminiscent. i was told by everybody, there was no possibility republicans would support the violence against women act. we started talking about it.
7:11 am
we brought it to the attention of the public. everybody said well yeah i guess we have to do something. we got it done. >> would you like the opportunity to work the room again from that podium? >> yeah by the way to be blunt i think i could do a good job, but that's not my focus now. my focus is keeping the recovery moving and i had plenty of time to make the decision between now and the summer and will make the decision in that time frame. >> vice president joe biden. nice to talk to you, sir. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, matt i appreciate it. >> he had the best seat in the house with john boehner. you look over that state of the union address as the president delivers it and you are looking at democracy in front of you. >> with the presidency he wouldn't be the first vice president to do that. we will hear from him. let's go to natalie for the latest on isis. >> involving the two hostages secretary of state john kerry
7:12 am
spoke with his counterpart in japan vowing support against the state and they are threatening to kill the two japanese hostages. in a video released on tuesday, they demanded a ransom of $200 million from japan and criticized them for pledging aid to countries fighting the extremist group. shinzo abe vowed to save the hostages saying his country would not give into terrorism. frightening moments in israel today where a palestinian man stabbed at least nine people on a bus in tel aviv including the driver. four people were seriously wounded and four others suffered minor injuries. officers saw the suspect running away and 245i shotthey shot him in the leg. the palestinian man entered israel illegally a few days ago. a cardiac surgeon shot at a boston hospital on tuesday died late last night. a 55-year-old man walked into
7:13 am
the hospital and asked for the doctor by name and proceeded to shoot dr. michael davidson. just outside of an examination room and the gunman shot and killed himself. they don't have a motive for the shooting. the man was not one of davidson's patients. we know more about the final moments of the crash of air asia flight 8501. indonesian officials said the plane climbed too fast before plunging into the java sea. it ascended at 6,000 feet per minute. that's fighter jet speed considered impossible for a passenger jet. it killed all on board. rescue crews will attempt to recover the fuselage using flowed floating bags. >> a group of tourists got the surprise of their lives while visiting the rocky steps in
7:14 am
philadelphia. of course you remember that scene, one of the most memorable movie scenes of all time. sylvester stallone in the original rocky. imagine if you were visiting there and ran into rocky himself. stallone is in town to shoot another movie and he took the time to chat and pose for selfies with a group of guys who ran up the steps and sylvester stallone said hey, guys you are too fast for me. making me look bad. >> the best scene in any movie. >> isn't it? you want to go jog? >> i have done that run up those steps. >> yo adrian! that's good too. >> iconic. >> mr. roker is in atlanta on assignment for the weather channel. hi al. >> #best selfie ever. fantastic. we are in the lab where all the weather experts here have every

7:19 am
super bowl 49 footballs. >> when reached for comment, they said they are not commenting on the espn report and they reached out to the patriots and we have not heard back. if this is true this is a big deal and it's cheating. i don't think in a 45 to whatever the score was, that made the difference. >> but there is a question. why bother? >> one thing is for sure though. media day on tuesday at the super bowl is a bigger frenzy than it usually is. >> i feel bad for the patriots fans whatever happens now will call into question this whole thing. >> they will take it i have a feeling. i mean they will put up with whatever criticism they get. how are you? >> back to the state of the union. 2.6 million. take a look at the trending topics.

7:32 am
>> lindsey vonn across the line! >> the race organizers is saying a mouthful about his broken tooth. the agent said the tooth was knocked out when a photographer bumped into the golfer as the media rushed towards vonn. they told nbc news we did not have a report on an accident involving tiger woods and the golfer never sought medical attention. the organizers said once woods was recognized we added extra security around him and lindsey. he noticed the golfer was missing a tooth, but they chatted amicably as if nothing was wrong. no one expected woods to show up for the race. vonn told us even she was surprised. >> tiger showed up today and it was a huge surprise. it was an incredible day. >> vonn is backing up woods's story posting i feel terrible his tooth got knocked out and said a cameraman accidentally knocked into him and took out

7:34 am
the fugitive was up against the wall police can still see you like super man. they can literally see through walls. it sounds like science fiction, but what the inventor came up with is an a real life x-ray vision that can see up to 50 feet behind walls. i am hiding and you can't see me. >> not visually. i see you between the wall and another echo over in the room. >> if i was running from the police and i was exhausted, what do you see there? >> i see the respiration signature very large. >> should i be afraid it's that easy for you to use the electronics to see through a wall? >> i don't think so. >> when u.s. marshals used a hand held version like this one to find fugitive steven denison in a home it raised questions.
7:35 am
without a search warrant, is this technology unconstitutional snooping? >> we believe that a device like this that allows the police to peer into people's living rooms and people's phones is an inherently creepy technology particularly because it can be used without the people who it is being targeted at learning it is taking place. >> 50 police agencies quietly equipped their officers with these systems. the company that makes it shared this video and would not comment on its use. the military used this equipment in iraq and afghanistan and even used to try to find survivors buried in the rubble of collapsed buildings. >> i think it's great and i hope it saves the lives of many officers. >> the radar units are about the size of this stud finder. they can see through the walls. the courts say this needs more

9:02 am
>> i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda [ applause ] i know because i won both of them. >> unscripted moment from the president. he said he is not going to run any more and republicans applaud that and he went off in front and said i won't let that one go. >> the delivery and the laugh at the end. that's amazing. >> that was a big moment. people were talking about it an hour before the speech. the white house teased that the president's tan suit, the original. here's the tease he's. this was the tweet. president obama suiting up for the big speech. yes, we tan. the reference to the tan suit. >> the the infamous tan suit. >> he did not wear that suit. >> also the first lady's outfit got a lot of attention the not my me, but a lot of people.

>> it will be swept away. it's far more serious. that was injury and that could end someone's career. anyway, nbc has not confirmed this report and they are not commenting. the patriots are cooperating with the league's investigation. if people don't like the patriots, it adds to the hay. they will be sold out wherever they play. people will celebrate tom brady and he will be in the hall of fame and they will not have the deflated balls. >> the seahawks will be checking them out. >> you have to be clear. that means they shouldn't have worn it. >> it's clear they would have won everybody. >> it is still being

9:08 am
>> why would you say your tooth was knocked out if it wasn't? >> a lot of people could discredit it. i think it happened and someone didn't see it. >> there has to be video. there is a crush of cameras around lindsey vonn in that winning moment and there has to be video evidence that someone can provide. tiger woods shot that proves or disproves it. >> she sets this all time greatness record like she is the best ever and we are talking about this. we had her on when we set the record. >> gave him a kiss with or without the tooth. this story, wow. this guy is certainly not winning husband of the year any time soon. it happened here in new york. a man has been charged with criminal mischief and free on bail right now for doing that. he had his wife's home bulldozed
