live from washington, d.c. and good morning, everybody. welcome to a special edition of "today" on this tuesday morning. we're on the steps of the white house. i have to say that qualifies as special. we are on the north portico, a moment of history for us, for this show and where so much history has been made. >> on the cool scale this one is off the charts. we want to luis alicea thank you to the obamas and everyone here at the white house for the access they have granted us. it's unbelievable. >> they have rolled out the red carpet, the blue carpet and you. shall we go inside, shall we knock. out. >> i'm going to knock loudly. hope they are not late sleepers. >> welcome to the white house. the obamas have so graciously invited you back to my old stomping grounds. >> jenna bush hager. >> seems like a time warp here. >> i'm going to shut the front >> that's good.

when jenna walked in they said hey, twinkle. her old secret service name. >> because of the twinkle in the eye. >> we're here on a very big day for the guy who lives here. later tonight president obama will travel a short distance to the capitol and deliver his final state of the union address. the white house shared some exclusive photos with us. take a look, the president working on the address in the oval office with top advisers just in the past couple of days. in fact, we were given an inside look into how this speech comes together. >> we're told this is going to be unlike any state of the union that the president has delivered. not going to be a laundry list of agenda items but a big view picture of the country future and in this heated election year it will be closely watched. >> i spoke with the president about this speech and a lot of other topics on monday and we'll have that interview coming up in a moment, and as we mentioned we'll hear from vice president joe biden as well. that will be a live interview. let's start this morning with the state of the union address. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is over on capitol hill.

>> reporter: matt, good morning to you. what a special day here on the "today" show. this won't be the president's last state of the union address, i'm told it will be his shortest and might be the shortest state of the union address that's been delivered in more than 25 years. the president and lead speech writer exchanging drafts of this address early this morning after midnight. president obama, even as seven in ten americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction, will focus on upbeat optimistic vision of the future, even as he has less control over than ever before. behind him tonight for the first time will be the house speaker paul ryan and also perhaps for his last time in the chamber the vice president joe biden. after more than 40 years in public service he says he'll not run for the president of the united states, of course. democrat members of congress have been encouraged to bring muslim americans with them to show open mindedness in the face

campaigning, including that of donald trump. the first lady will leave a seat empty for victims of gun violence who do not have a voice and will also be joined by a syrian refugee. we'll see you moments from now. >> peter alexander from capitol hill. nbc will bring you the state of the union address at 9:00 eastern, 6:00 out on the west coast. >> as we said, it's very special to be inside this building. want to give you a better sense of where we're standing right now. here's an overview of the white house complex that sits on 18 acres. on either end you have the west wing and the west wing. the west wing is where the oval office is and the east wing contains the first lady's office and staff and we're just a short walk away from there now in what's known acts executive residence, the central building in this complex, and specifically we are in the blue room on the residence state floor. >> the blue room is used for a lot of different things, where president obama was sworn in for his second term, that in 2013. it's home to some lighter moments as well, like the

o, the dogs that live at the white house as well and the blue breen is joined by the red room and green room. morning. but first let's talk about our president obama. we walked these halls with him on monday and talked aboutspeech, his legacy as president and the campaign to the land. you're greeting us one state of the union, your final state of the union. are you going to miss the ritual of walking into that room and looking out over aof congress and members of the cabinet, supreme court, dignitaries up above, are you going to miss that ritual? >> it's a wonderful spectacle. i remember the first time i did e standing behind the door, and mr. speaker, thef the united states, and you walk down that row and

either side and they will shake and as you said, you see all of government gathered in one plne time of the night where even the opposing side stands and cheers you. >> that's not just the cheers. it's a sense of a c democracy there. he's no doubt that i will always remember the ritual, whether i'm going to miss writing the speech i don't know. we'll see how this one goes. >> us a stand in that room, you will be looking out over a room that arguably is as divided as it has ever ee that as a failure of your presidency? you came to town saying it was about hope and change. >> right. o change the tone in washington. you wanted to unite people. >> right. >> and they are not united. is it a failure? >> it's a i could not be prouder of what we've accomplished and sometimes we look at the past through glasses. it's been pretty divided in the

there's been times where people beat each other with canes and like the civil war so there have been times where it's been pretty rough, but there's no doubt that in washington are so much more divided than the american people are, and part of what i want to do in this last address is tole, you know what. we've got a lot of good things going for us, and if we can get our politics right, it turns out that we're not ashe ideological spectrum as people make us out to be. >> i know in your speech it's traditional to say the is strong. when it comes to the emotional state of our union and when i go out and talk to people the words i hear them most often in terms of how they are feeling >> right. >> they talk about fear. they talk about frustration. >> right.

i think, you know, we wentthrough a lot over these last ten years. we went through katrina. we went through the iraq war. we went through financial crisis in our lifetimes. we are still battling terrorism. people are still recoveringme of the economic blows that hit, and it is sometimes important for us to step bac measure of how far we've come. the economy right now is doing better than any otherld by a significant margin. we remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are existential threats facing us, but if we make some good choices now, whoever the next president ling the next congress there, he's no reason why we shouldn't own the 21st century. >> you shade there's no threat facing us. that fear though is still

>> and in some ways it's driving the current presidential you've got a guy like donald trump and others who have recognized and identified that fear. >> right. >> and in some ways they are running on it. >> u take responsibility for that, and the reason i ask it is people said after eight years of george w. bush in the white house the american people were hungry for yourhope and change. >> right. >> so after seven years of the obama presidency do you feel you're responsible for a certainre for the message that donald trump is putting out? >> the message that donald trump is putting out has had adherence times during the course of our history. you know, talk to me if he wins, then we'll have a c how responsible i feel about it, but i'm pretty confident that the overwhelming majority of americans areg for the kind of politics

our fears, that does work doesn't try to divide us, that isn't looking for sim police tinge solutions and scapegoating but looks for us, you know, figuring out how to do we make things work for the next generation. >> so when you stabbed and deliver thataddress in no part of your mind or brain can you imagine donald trump standing up one day and ion address? >> well, i can imagine it in a saturday night skit.g is possible, and i think, you know, we shouldn't be complacent. i think everybody's got to work our tour ended in the oval office. i would never have guessed in a million years that i would step into the oval office, probably the most the world, and step in here with you and say this. what did you make of sean penn and el chapo? saw that picture of him shaking hands and

interviewing him, whathave? >> first of all, i want to compliment the mexican government because, you know, them capturing him and as we an extradition process potentially, he is disabled and that affects their ability to -- government's ability to really crack down on some of the terrible crimes that are committed by these narco think is important. now in, terms of how an interview like that gets set up and journalistic ethics,'re probably in a better position to opine on that. >> last question. isis is such a huge concern for >> right. >> not only are they carrying attacks out in the middle east anymore but they are inspiring attacks in europe and here in places like san bernardino. i think even in philadelphiahe weekend. your daughters are young ladies. when they get to be your age, president obama, do you believe in your heart tha

dealing with the threat of radical islam on a daily basis? >> i am absolutely confidente defeated isil. i don't think we have to wait until they are 54 for that to happen. ultimately what is a blind alley for the region, and people will recognize that, the same way that over time they turned on al qaeda because theyhat this doesn't lead anywhere. >> you've got a lot on your plate, and you're nice to spend time with me. really appreciate it the. >> president, thank you. >> happy new year. >> you, too. >> something cool about standing with the president in the oval office. >> not an everydayou or me. >> and not the only time that he spoke about his family. he spoke about the balancing act of being president ond being a husband and father and we'll talk more about that. as a matter of fact, in our next part of our conversation we're also going to have some talk what he hopes that he can inject into the state of the

>> look forward to in a. >> by the way, tomorrow, a little other side of the aisle. we'll sit down with house speaker paul ryan. >> and in a few minutes from now we'll hear from vice president joe biden. he'll be here for a live interview. step down to the navy mess and do that in a couple of moments and let's go to natalie now with the morning's other top d morning. breaking news, an explosion in a popular istanbul tourist areas has killed at least 10 people and injured 15 others. state reported it was likely caused by a suicide bomber. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is in istanbul with us with the latest. richard, good mornood morning. that explosion took place just about 30, 40 yards behind me. there was not a tourist in the world who does not know this location.rt of tourist istanbul right between the blue mosque and iai. a witness said he heard an explosion, came out and saw

doing, how is the family doing. >> we're doing well. we got through the holidays and every family's we went through it and that's the hardest thing so we're focusing on the inspiration that beau was rather than the loss. >> one of the things the to talk about tonight in the state of the union is this fight against cancer, something that you have taken the mantle of ands very, very personal. who are you hoping to accomplish? >> well, we're so close to so many breakthroughs in cancer. this is one of those infliction but they are sort of stove pipes. there's a lot of brilliant people doing a lot of important stuff but not enough hoping and so far the response has been very positive from the leaders in the field to -- to let me be the convener of these move things along more quickly, so instead of the breakthroughs occurring in ten years or five years. i think we can the face of cancer in the next five years.

go? because it's one that you've held for a long time. >> well, everybody thinks i've dreamt of being president. dreamt of being president. here's what's hard to let go. from the time i was 28 years old i've held public office, i was age 29. every morning i've gotten up and had some policy concerns on my mind and that i was able to work on to try to change things, a to figure what replaces that, that sense of purpose when you're not in this office. >> for you is there no which you could see yourself getting into this race in 2016? >> i've learned never to say no, but i can't imagine one. i can't imagine one. if i win the lottery made, billion. everybody says i can retire. i'll run. that's a joke. >> have you bought a powerball ticket? >> i've not ticket. >> i thought i'd do the natural follow-up. let's talk about the race. you said something in the race

hillary clinton that she only recently has come to talk about the issues of income ine sanders is talking about. did you mean it that way? >> well, for the last five years she's been engaged in foreign policy. this has been person's mime he's gotten involved, even when income inequality wasn't as serious as it is today it was his drum beat and that's what i meant, andg up with some very good ideas, but bernie is pushing the envelope on this, and for involved. trump. the president said to matt a few moments ago talk to me if he wins, and there is this sense don't think donald trump will be or can be elected president of the united states. do you hold that view? do you think he could be is it possible? >> well, look, yes, go back -- yes. i think that's possible, and in we're -- if that were to occur, because it

than he does, i hope he gets a lot more serious about issues, a lot more serious about gaining knowledge about how this nation functions and foreign policy and domestic policy, but, a long way off. >> do you think he's been good for democracy, good for the process? >> well, look, i -- i think democracy -- thething about america is that it's so open. anyone can get engaged. e will listen, beginning. i think it's premature to make any judgments about who is going to do what. >> you've said he's been very >> oh, i think he is divisive, and i think he'd have to acknowledge that he's very divisive and that's not healthy. we always do best when we act as we always do best when we appeal to our better angels, and we always do poorly when we a fears and our -- and our differences. >> as we end, tell me how your relationship with president

>> well, it's just -- look, we spent four to -- some days only four and some days seven hours a day together for the last seven we're friends, become close personal friends. we know each other's personal concerns. our families are friends. my grand daughters and hisers are best friends. they vacation together and i'll call and ask my little granddaughter to come overp, i'm going to be at the white house tonight, i'm sorry, but all kidding aside. it's family, and he's become family, and i thinky no president and vice president on a personal basis that have been closer than he and i have been. >> as a private year you with catch the state of the union at home in your pjs like the rest of us. >> maybe they will invite me in the box, up in the box isden, i don't know. >> nice to have you here. i should say it's good to be here. i'm in your office.

back now on a tuesday morning, more of our special edition of "today" livehouse, and carson is here, and we don't have the original room but will the red room do? >> it is doing just fine. thank ou to send in some questions using the the #whitehousetoday. got a couple. let's get right to them. tons of questions coming i you so much. let's get to marge's who writes does anyone in the president's family, including the president, ever sneak downstairs at midnight to have a snack in the the answer is absolutely yes. anything in the kitchen is fair game. first family can make a list,

whatever they go down there and have that and, of course, enjoy it. there is a smaller kitchen on the floor where they sneak so at midnight if they quick they can go there. angela writes in who else besides the president actually lives, there it is, in the w the answer is no one. just the president and the first family are here. the house is obviously staffed 24/7, but everybody is on rotation so no one actuallyes here. back in the 19th century some staff did live here, but tad's staff and workers have their own places. thanks for the questions. follow the conversation on all "today" show social accounts using the the #whitehousetoday. >> great. want to bring in a special guest, jason goldman the chieficer here at the white house. jason jason, good morning. thanks for having us. you have news to share inrship with facebook and the state of the union. >> we recently launched the president's facebook page and tonight we'll be doing our first experiment with facebook live.

with the state of the union sometime in the afternoon. >> jason, twitter recently released a list of its most tweets of 2015. yeah, the first one was one direction. okay. >> all right. >> that's tough to compete also one direction, third one one direction and number four was one direction also you but from president obama we got in here his reaction to the supreme court's gay marriage ruling last year and another moment that went viral. the president surprised some his way to a meeting. why do you think moments like that get so much attention. >> i think fundamentally the internet is a platform fon and people are looking to connection and an opportunity is an opportunity to see people behind the lens. i think you do this really well with the "today" showers,ou've been doing morning such behinds-of-hind the scenes, a good example of that and the kind of things people look for. >> this is the new normal thesident and the white house staff are all using social media, whether it's twitter.

opened up a snapchat account,ake snapchat legit. >> we started that yesterday, and we've been posting some snaps here this ome of you guys, as you've been recording here on the white house, and it's a way of showing, you know, what's going ons we're getting red for sotu and snapchat is a great way to show that energy. >> he just went a on us. >> we got, it we got if. >> jason, thank you. >> good to have you here. were in your house, haver that. al is on the move outside in the first lady's garden. hey, al. >> this is the white house kitchen garden. it was planted spring of 2009 byhelle obama with the help of some local elementary school kids. it is a constant supply of fresh produce for the first famso for events that they have here at the white house. we're going to be back here in the garden, and not too far from

works out on the basketball court. guess what, i'll be coming back during the growing season as the weather gets a little bit the progress of the garden along with the first lady so pretty excited about that. all right. let's show you what's going on for today. we are looking showers. a clipper comes across the great lakes. it's also going to reinforce some lake-effect snow so some two feet of snow. wet weather in the pacific northwest and windy conditions. plenty of sunshine through the gulf and back west cold temperatures in the plains with dangerous windchills that will be setting in and spreading east.

t is your latest weather. matt and savannah. >> all right, al. thanks. now to more of our exclusiveith president obama as he prepares for tonight's state of the union address. >> we covered a lot of subjects and we cover a lot of ground. we actually toured the w talked about how the office has changed him, both as a leader and as a father. this staircase here,this go? >> this goes up into the residence so if we have a state dinner or some very formal function michelle and i from the residence on the second floor and we will walk down. >> at the end of a long day, is it possible for to you walk up those stairs and ever leave theely downstairs? >> well, first of all, i never actually use these stairs.

when they say they are a 24/7 job on this one they are not you take it with you. the one time that i can take it behind throughout my presidency i've been pretty religious aer at 6:30 with michelle and the girls and when i'm sitting around the dinner table then i'm a dad and we spend most of our time listening to the girls talkays and they are not interested in mine that much. >> teenage talk from personal experience can be more harrowing than what happens oval office there. would your family ever say that that's the one part of the job that gets difficult, the fact that you're never 100% those dinners that you just talked about away from the job? >> my ability to function as a present father, a guy there and engaged, was maybe stronger once i got to theefore because when i

the girls were still back in chicago. >> right. >> when i wpresident i was gone all the time, and i don't have trouble switching off when it comes to listening to malia and at actually is a time when i can kind of block everything else out. >> the first time you and i sat february 1st, 2009. had you been president 11 days. if 54-year-old barack obama could go back and talk to old barack obama who had only been president 11 days, what would you tell him that he didn't know about being >> well, i would tell him, first of all, that your hair is going to go grayer a lot faster than youi think the most important thing i would say to an earlier

confidence to the american people because this place has a isolate you. you recognize that particularly during times of stress, the american people need tofrom their president in terms of what it is that we're trying to do and things i've done well during the campaign i've not always done well >> you talk about the american people hearing from their president. obviously we all remember you stepping before the cameras and talking about your plans for executive action on gun control. >> ou became extremely emotional. >> yeah. >> i was surprised by that. i wasn't surprised about how i felt because the day thathook happened remains one of the worst in my presidency and traveling up there for the memorial service and meeting with the families just aays after those children and those teachers had lost their

i've ever done, but i didn't that evoking that would trigger those kinds of emotions. part of it is that, you know, wee back from christmas break. i had just spent time with my daughters. one of them is about to go tog those parent who i've gotten to know now over the course of several years and thinking about how any parent with that loss, it felt very personal to me. >> i would think that at an earlier point of your that feeling started to well up in you -- >> i might have clamp it had down. >> you might have suppress it had. >> yeah. there's no doubt that i am leers there have been times during the course. presidency where i've tightened up. you know, as you go into your last year you start realizing thatow well you've done here is going to be judged not by tomorrow's polls or

judged by, you know, people who are looking back at you 20, 30 years from now and say you better let it rip. >> you're starting to sounde george w. bush who told me one day, matt, i'm going to be dead when my legacy is decided. early next year, if tradition holds, you and mrs. obama are to the main door of the white house, it will open and a motorcade will pull in, right, and the incoming president, whether it's a man or o get out of that car. how much jeopardy will your legacy be in if that person is not a democrat? >> well, i'm hard to make shower that it's a democrat and there's no doubt that given what the republican candidates have said thatare going to be some things that i think are really important reverse. even something as controversial in the republican party as e. when something works or the evidence shows that it's helping people and you want to stop it

turns out to be a little more difficult. you know, certainly when they start dealing with foreign policy and if they somehow by talking a little tougher they are going to somehow change the complexitiesdle east, for example, turns out that's not how it works, and so i think there is a really use fulful awakening that thanks place when you walk into this office. a lot of the campaign rhetoricealize has to give way to some very hard tough realities. >> just a little more of our ation with the president conducted monday here at the white house, and look who else is here at the white house, nbc national correspondent peter hi, peter. >> not a bad spot. good to see you this morning. >> what have you got?

speech whiter, codyhave seen him and texted me at 3:50 a.m. and said finally wrapping up tonight and what's impress sieve the collaborative. he says he feels like he's a perpetual grad student but imagine that your professor is the president. he took us inside the preparations in his first ever interview. >> we honor those who walked so we could run! we must run so our childrensoar! >> reporter: behind the president's celebrated speeches he's the man tasked with translating images into words. >> this is the land of hope and is is where the magic happens. basement office. >> no windows. the white house doctors give me vitaminody keenum takes his boss' hand scribbled notes like these. >> what a soiled draft looks like. nail it. >> and turns it into powerful presidential prose.

night would have deafened the >> reporter: ahead of president obama's last state of the union nan in the midst of a coffee-fueled >> sir. >> reporter: including an oval office meeting with the the final days of a two-month marathon to perfect 6,000 words. where did you watch last year's >> i watched it right here at this desk. >> reporter: with? >> chicken tenders and a budweiser. >> reporter: keenan fma campaign as an intern in 2007 becoming director of speech wright six years later. the moment you stare at a blank page what's going through your mind? mix of hope and fear, fear in that you want to know what to say and hope that you can make it into something nice. >> reporter: his speeches helpedes like new town and tucson where so many people struggled to find words. >> if there are rain puddles in heaven, christina isthem tailed. >> reporter: the president's last least speech writer john favro says keenan captures emotion.

who writes from the heart. >> reporter: keenan met his fiancee kristen, a researcher who fact checks hiso she literally gets paid to tell me i'm wrong. >> reporter: how does that go? >> it's tense around state of the union team. >> reporter: that beard back, a formed after keenan's first state of the union. >> it worked, and the president said you have to do that again. >> reporter: but posing as pirate for a pline, that was a one-time deal. >> secret service was displeased because i had a big metal hook cracked up laughing. >> to make opportunity real. >> reporter: be. >> reporter: with keenan's words etched into history the chicago native and northwestern grad craft one speech more than a century in the making. >> chicago subs coming to the white house world champs, that's why i'm still ter: and with all the finishing touches on tonight's address complete, the state of this union has never been stronger.

looking at a lot of snow making its way through the great lakes as a clipper moves also looking hat more wet weather and snow in the pacific northwest with windy conditions. southern tier of the country looking pretty good with plenty of showers down in southern florida. and for tonight's state of the union address, we may actually see some snow here in the nation's capital in the afternoon with windy conditions. tonight as people are streaming into the capitol. it will make it feel like that's

>> that's your latest weather. >> all right, al. thanks. coming up, matt and savannah head into the white house kitchen just to give you a sense of how big this place is.g to hustle just to get there in time. after they will have a lovely meal once they do get there as we're entertained by the marine back in a moment, but,
