governor and matt, this is the most unusual pairing i've ever been part of, you and matt kibbe, you andhe man of the northeast establishment, a moderate governor of pennsylvania. here is matt railing at the ramparts against all you represent. this should be interesting. the right fights back. since the election a lot of republicans' soul searching has focused on the need to broaden the political base of the republican party. fiscal and social conservatives are saying that's the wrong message. the correct takeaway, they say, from the election is that the party was too moderate. here is tea party favorite ted cruz, the senator-elect from texas. let's watch him. >> inevitably there are these mandarins in politics who give the voice, don't show any contrast, don't rock the boat. so by the third debate, i'm pretty certain mitt romney actually french kissed barack obama. >> well, social conservative bob vander plaats of "the family leader" told "the washington post," quote, the moderates have had their candidate in 2008 and they had their candidate in 2012, and they got crushed in both electi

matt? >> all right.ohn yang, i'll take it, and we want to head now to florida and nbc's kerry sanders in orlando along the all-important i-4 corridor, an area expected to determine who wins the state. kerry, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. polls open here at 7:00 a.m. don't forget there are two time zones in florida. supervisors of election in the state say anyone in line at 7:00 p.m. and who has not yet voted will still be allowed to cast their vote. so far because of early voting there's been a tremendous turnout already in the state, 4.5 million people have voted in the state. here's the breakdown. 1.9 million registered democrats. 1.7 million registered republicans, but remember, of course, that doesn't mean they necessarily voted the party ticket. one issue that resonates, especially in south florida is the question of israel. jewish voters traditionally are registered as democrats, but rabbis have been asking questions it their congregations about the president's commitmen

>> is that what the we have to do, matt? >> no. think our movement is color blind and the irony of what we've done is we've repopulated the republican party with men and women, black, brown, white, it doesn't really matter because we judge people on issues. where do you think ted cruz came from, where do you do you think marco rubio came from? it was us. we don't judge people based on the color of your skin. i thought that's what we all believed. >> they judge you that way. >> i think they judge that you way because they have a sense looking ronald reagan on forward you're not a party of a welcome mat for minorities. jeev we have to work on that, absolutely. we're repopulated the whole republican party. it's no longer octogenarian white guys. we're bringing in everybody. >> he's portraying a party that doesn't exist quaet. i don't know where that republican party works. where is that party? >> they really don't seem to have learned lessons. literally, matt, less than a week after the election results where single women voted agains

>> hey, matt. so it's time to play beat the clock for all these crews who are working to build up the berm and build up the beach here and get a load of some of the big trucks they are bringing in to really build up a barrier, to break -- to make sure that the ocean does not make its way in here because this nor'easter is awfully powerful. going to bring in a big storm surge of about anywhere from 4 to 6 feet possible. again, even dangerous waves and a lot of wind. let's show you what else is going on. it is chilly here in the east, and that's because we've got a big trough of low pressure. jet stream dips down to the south. high pressure out west and so look at out west. temperatures, anywhere from 9 to 21 degrees above normal. in the east new york city 16 degrees below normal at 41. 48 in richmond and 58 in memphis, and so can you see those cold temperatures in the northeast. that's why we're going to be seeing snow out of this system. that's what's going on around g >> good morning. it will be a

first, here's savannah. >> matt, thanks.ht comedy hosts were more than happy to provide us with a few. >> thank you very much for joining us here in the ed sullivan shelter. >> because of the hurricane, we had to do the show to a bunch of empty seats, or as clint eastwood calls that a full house. >> to make sure we rebuild our state we do what needs to be done. >> wow, that guy is incredible. i just wish i knew his name or his title. >> oh, there you go. chris christie, governor. >> good thing his mom sewed his name into all of his clothes. >> gave me such a start! i know exactly what this is. chris christie's pants, ladies and gentlemen. >> because of hurricane sandy, new jersey governor chris christie actually cancelled halloween. this seems very suspicious to me, especially considering to me the fact that he just posted this photograph on instagram. >> mitt romney had something for the kids at his house. show romney's house. >> look, let me tell you something. if you're looking for free stuff you don't have to pay for, i'

i'm matt lauer. i'm matt lauer along with savannah gurthrie and tamron hall.we do. actually, a serious story, the parents of one of the columbine shooters, they have rarely spoken out, but they do so in a new book, and they really offer some interesting insight. we're going to talk to the author of that book about that story. >> all right. >>> in our last half hour, a lot of these ladies were flustered over robert pattinson being here. well, it's my turn now, i'm a little flustered because sir roger moore is in the studio right now. i think the world of this guy. not only is he an amazing humanitarian, but he was, perhaps, the quintessential bond for seven movies. he knocked it out of the park. now he's written the book on bond. and we're going to talk to him on this 50th anniversary of that genre. >> it's just gorgeous, love that jacket. >>> also, let's check out some first of its kind video of a cheetah in action. first of its kind video, we'll explain why. and savannah will come face-to-face with that savannah. make sure you don't miss that. big moment. big

matt? >> yes. keep reading in that report. it says that if you extend the tax cuts for everybody, including the upper income earners who make more than 200,000 or 250 when they file jointly, that it would grow the economy at 1.5%. so what the president is basically saying, if he holds hostage these tax increases on wealthy people, what he's really saying is his economy that he oversees will grow less and have less job creation if what he wants is negotiated. so eventually when you're president, you have to look at that and say, let's put politics aside. i'll be viewed in the rearview mirror as the better president if i can get this economy growing. >> arthel: so alexis, i think matt has a point that the president will be looked at in terms of his political legacy left on the table in the history books. but the congress, while they're pretty much in the dumps in terms of approval rating, it seems they would want to increase their popularity with the people as well. so do you -- how do you see this playing out in dc? >> i think

also with me, matt visor.onceding, governor romney vowed not to, quote, fall off the map. you know romney well. what do you think is next for him? >> well, i don't know for sure what his next step will be. i know it won't include taking a voluntary position with the church. i know that the campaign itself is -- the people who have worked on the campaign for the last eight years are pretty depressed bunch. it's my view they really expected to win on tuesday night. i still think they're in shock that things didn't go their way. but among the kinds of things that he might consider doing, obviously he's going to take at least a figure head role in the firm his son ais involved in. that will be a figure head thing. certainly not fulfilling to him. but the kind of thing he might do is be taking on some kind of a global leadership role like president carter and president clinton have done in the past. bottom line is he can do pretty much what he wants to do. he's a man of unusual financial resources and energy. i tak
