last year. democrats have the votes to put it on the senate floor but it s unlikely the resolution will pass the house and get signed by the president. the democrats are framing this as an opportunity to force republicans to stake their position on net neutrality ahead of fall mid terms when voters will ultimately decide who controls the house and the senate. let s review what this is all about. let s think of the enter knelt like a congested highway. most of the fast lanes are taken up by trucks carrying huge amounts like amazon and hulu and netflix. the rest of the lanes could be start-up companies. in 2015 obama s administration ruled those big companies couldn t pay to use the fast lanes. these rules kept isps from blocking or slowing website.
sort of the republican view of how to govern and a trump-style view slashing regulations trying to stimulate some and president trump spoke briefly about the tax bill that is facing lawmakers after marco rubio of florida said he was not leaning towards support. president trump saying he expects to have rubio onboard and called it a great christmas present for the american people. ali? kelly, thank you very much for that. kelly o donnell at the white house. digging into the other big topic today. today s net neutrality vote. as my friend tom costello pointed out today, it helps to think of the internet as a congested highway. most fast lanes taken up by trucks carrying huge amounts of data content, amazon, netflix, hulu. the rest of the car, small independent websites, start-up companies. in 2005 the obama administration ruled those big companies could not pay to dominate show this to you over here.
congested highway, there are checkpoints manned mostly by local militias, and i want to stress, most of them are friendly enough. we are, however, in a hurry to get to misrata before dark. traveling at night around here is not advised. drop the camera soon. yep, yep. stop the camera. stop the camera. stop. pulling into town after dark, it doesn t feel like a happy place to be right now. misrata was where some of the fiercest and most heroic struggles of the war occurred. resistance was the most determined and the response by the gadhafi forces especially merciless. we ve just learned that earlier
