Challenging those popular cameras at intersections. Will it lead to millions of busted drivers across america getting their money back . Pop quiz. Jimmy fallon tests our knowledge on the tonight show. 1989 oh, my gosh. Find out which one of us was left high, but not very dry today, wednesday, november 5th, 2014. 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 on a wednesday morning. Feeling better . Are you all dried off . Oh, yeah, yeah. All i have to say is justice was served. Im not so sure about that. All right. Were going to get to that jimmy fallon thing in a little while.

Neutrality. Your colleague, henry waxman, recently wrote to the fcc asking it to be reclassified as title ii. Whats your reaction to that . Guest well, i respect henry i a lot, obviously, but hes wrong. Theyre trying to use an old law passed back in the 1930s for an industry that is in the 21st century. Its been proven over and over again that the best solution to the allocation issues and usage issues is an open, transparent market with appropriate oversight by federal and in some cases state and local government.

So for henry or the fcc to try to use an old, old almost 100yearold law to regulate the internet, in my opinion, is just, frankly, platte wrong. Flat wrong. Host if the fcc does reclassify broadband as a title ii entity, would congress have

A. Facility, which was intentionally included to give the v. A. Flexibility to provide veterans access to nonv. A. Care when a v. A. Facility, no matter what size or location, cannot provide the care the veteran is seeking. So today im introducing senate bill 20
July. Julys prices are not what they are now. Folks are locked in. They talk about being frozen in someplace, well, their prices are also frozen in. Well we know and understand the challenges when it comes to energy. We know and understand the challenges that come when it comes to keeping your house warm or your lights on. So we have every interest to make sure we are pushing out, we are being innovative, we are being as efficient as we possibly can when it comes to energy use and consumption. I want to urge us, to push us, to be really aggressive in pushing us towards those technologies that will allow us in a small population state that has no real energy grid, so to speak, to figure out how we can how we can be more selfsufficient, get us off diesel get us off 10agallon oil in kobuck alaska. Weve got to figure this out. Were going to be doing it. Were talking about the challenges that we face. But i think as we begin this good robust debate on things like climate, i think we need to
Panel and our panelists. I would love to be able to vote for the final package and i hope that we can Work Together to find something that will work.

My first question has to do with the forbearance of the title to requirements as hes indicated that he is one of the forebears and even if he does this, the current concern is that the legislation may inhibit the ability to react in a just technological advance. Do you share that concern that the legislation would inhibit the ability to react . I think they have way more to react to ban is being suggested. The fcc with any act has the first instance and responsibility to interpret those decisions and enforce them across a wide range of activities.
