The SOTU is NOT for the people. It is a requirement to give a report to Congress on the State of the Nation. Yea, NP doesn't want POTUS's report to be heard by everyone. But he must do it in a way that follows the Constitution. He could now "convene both Houses" to a special session, where he can then deliver his SOTU. Article 2 Section 3 gives him that power.
