thing a cabdriver in new york once, a reinsurance -- in new york wants, and insurance salesperson in suburbia wants. they want good insurance for their kids, they want physical security which is a big part of what we are experiencing right now with the erosion of democratic support in many areas that they're hoping to maintain that support. the problem is rural delivery has to be done differently and we have to talk to people. i will give you a statistic from a57% of rural voters expressed the opinion that democrats don't know anything about rural america. i get that. the good news is in all of this 50% said republicans don't get our challenges. i think it's time to understand the challenges. not do to people but with people and to do that we have to have a conversation. host: heidi heitkamp served as one term a senator from north dakota. talking about her new one country project. we welcome your calls and comments. the senators are for rural residents, (202)-748-8000. all others use (202)-748-8001. if you do not want to call you can text at (202)-748-8003. senator, how much of a priority do

in the cities, maybe in suburbia [indiscernible] guns and all kinds of weapons. teenagers by them -- buy them. one year in prison and -- it's uneven. [indiscernible] this way they can get the message on board. host: are you talking about a high school? caller: young kids and everybody else. they buy guns. [and audible] getting guns by the trunk load in the back of the cars. host: jackie nowicki, we talked about the hardening of schools, making it tougher to bring weapons of all kinds into schools. if you would expound on if your report found that was a deterrent for violence in schools? guest: i'm thinking about a really did report we did on the characteristics of school shootings in 2020. and number of schools were increasing the hardening. half of all school student -- school shootings take place outside the school building, so there is that to think about as well. we did see an increase in the use of school resource officers. people refer to that as police in schools. the data is mixed on the efficacy of those officers and how well or whether they improve the

so you are the author of the geography of nowhere, a history of american suburbia and urban development. so let's start with the hell scape that is california. build as a woke utopia, what we've seen on the ground instead, fecal wait inside walks, and mass looting events. what went wrong? gee, so where do you want me to start? well, among other things are simple unwillingness to actually confront truthfully the conditions on the ground that we see around us. and, and, you know, homelessness is obviously a biggie out in california. and i think we confused the whole issue by calling them homeless because mainly their drug addicts and people with mental illness who are in an earlier age in america would be treated in public hospitals and taken care of. but around the $970.00 s, we decided that they were an oppressed political minority. and that we should just, you know, not put them in hospitals and not treat them. and that was supposedly more humane. and so you see the consequences of that. well, the connections between the choice we made to deploy all of our american life along the highw

and this is suburbia. and that includes the bigger buildings that they've ever built before, they are adding roadsides and adding roads to accommodate these new buildings. and that includes these same issues. and so that is part. they worked all through the 50s they were solving problems that includes what needs to be done six of the seven buildings have been built. and so from this aerial perspective you see this kind of disc integration and you know, having all of this land is actually harder sometimes and having a smaller footprint where you really have to work with the puzzle pieces putting stuff together. and that's part of this as well. and that includes where you put the science buildings in the dorms and the pink shades there is unfortunately more so part of the parking lot this is before became the ubiquitous thing that they are now on campuses and so if you want to look at that in a different way and so the problems are part of this and the dashed lines are existing roads and this is much as anyt

and those who want to address the plight of the down trodden who are living in suburbia, afraid of someones 7,000 miles away from them. this is the mess that they've created. they have put out on the street a cesspool of stupid that people keep jumping into, this pool. >> yes. >> i don't know why, but they do. they are the worst. >> they are the worst. absolutely. i got to tell you, you also can get an amen on that, chairman steel and that leads directly to mine. i feel like with all that you have said, we have one body in this country that is supposed to be able to discern right from wrong and set things right when things are wrong. that is the united states supreme court. to me, they have failed utterly their job as delineated by the constitution to protect the most vulnerable. they only want to protect the rich, the power. , the corporation, the religious extremists. they have allowed the texas bounty hunter law to stand. they have allowed voter, the discrimination against voters to stand. thanks god for sonia sotomayor who is the conscience of that body. but they have failed us. they h

we are in suburbia. so when flames come through here, specifically wind-powered flames, they are wiping out entire subdivisions, shopping complexes, obliterated, as you mentioned, roughly nearly 600 homes incinerated in boulder county here. the state's most destructive fire in terms of homes damaged ever recorded. and why we're seeing such an incredible pace that you talked about moving, burning through the length of a football field within seconds, it's the result of a dangerous combination between those whipping winds, gusts topping 100 miles per hour, and then parched ground. this area is in an extreme drought, just 1.6 inches of rain since august. this community dealing with a lot right now, yasmin. >> so, emilie, talk me through a couple things, a lot of folks are worried about the people who have had to evacuate their homes. are they safe and sound? where why they evacuated to, and did they get enough time to get out? >> you know, i think we're still waiting to answer that last question. if you lis

and so it's suburbia. so when flames are coming through at such great as a pace of this, it's going to obliterate and incinerate entire shopping centers and neighborhoods. the toll just felt so deeply by so many people, we might get some updates on numbers later today. i know there are so many questions, a lot of residents haven't been able to go back into their neighborhoods, so still very much a developing situation, yasmin. >> yeah, we spoke to the mayor in the last hour, emilie, of superior, colorado, where you are, and he told us he was expecting fatalities, not giving us any concrete numbers, but expecting that because this moved so quickly, people just didn't have enough time to get out. you hearing anything similar? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, that's the fear. i think that when you listen to the dispatch and 911 calls yesterday, you heard the chaos and the fear. people talking about people running on foot, away from the flames or you may have seen those snarled traffic lines, as entire communities w

what they did and i think it's easy to criticize them, but this is suburbia, basically. this is the on set of the suburban campus where you're building lab buildings, which are bigger than the buildings than ever before, and they're adding roads to accommodate the new buildings. so duke is not unique in this. many, many, many university campuses have faced these same issues. so that was it. but they worked all through the '50s. here are three surface parking lots they did, which is again frustrating, but it's the reality of the work. they were solving problems, problems landscape architecs helped to solve was how do you deal with all the cars? they're doing work that really needs to be done. into the '50s you see the quad there. six of those seven buildings have been built so from an aerial perspective you see this kind of disintegration of the forest, and this seems like a time where having 5,000 acres of land is kind of a mixed blessing, and i will say stanford has 8,180 acres and duke has 6,180 acres which is bigger. so into the '50s, they contacted homestead brothers
