obama administration did the stimulus they push the money out the door for the new where areas for underservedor certain we want to get the mapping right and the limited federal resources does it spend on broadband buildout should be spent in areas where the least economically attractive private-sector and we don't need to over bill and we need to build where there isn't service or where there's minimal service. 39% of rural areas of america to be 3 million people lack access to modern-day high-speed internet. that is where the public investment to go. we want to make sure we have of series of bills to look at those issues and more. >> you come from a uniquely rural area and you just said how large it is and how to use the population is or very few people spread over a large area. what do you think some of the better solutions for rural and you talk permitting regular barriers that the state and w federal and local level but what else can be done? >> you always need the backup.ge you always get fiber out across these areas and using where it'm possible to streamline the siting process where we

try to look at stories that are underserved, maybe others aren't doing to death, or angles underserved on stories and just take common sense look at it and ask questions. i have many devote liberal and conservative fans of the program. have served investigative emmy -- awards -- my recent one for investigating republicans and not liberal bud at follows investigating liberals. most of my reporting, i'm not very interested in politics. don't like it. seems to come into my and people want to pigeon hole what you do but most of what i do is nonpolitical, just watch-dogging whatever the powers may be. >> host: in the smear, thetivebrock plays a large hole. >> guest: dave brock is a fascinating character. the people i interviewed, both the conservative smear artists and the liberal smear artists alike name him as someone who is uniquely successful at what he has done with his network of nonprofits, llcs, web sites, under many different names to appear that though they're neutral sometimes authorities, to appear as those there's many people behind him and it's really a small group. they've be

then we're able to make comparisons between parks in underserved neighborhoods and city-wide. we're already doing this, but we're formalizing a process to look at all three data sources to make prioritization decisions about investment. i think that's how we do it. bond planning will include -- actually if you remember the playground task force, it was a mix of the criteria that you looked at, was a mix of controller park maintenance data on the playground, then the presence of pressure treated lumber. so that criteria, and you looked at high youth density, low-income neighborhoods. so in a sense that was a little bit of a precursor for using all of the three systems for making prioritization decisions. >> so somehow it's brought together -- >> there is a little bit of overlap quite frankly, but maybe a little more -- maybe a smidgen more subjectivity to be honest, in the park evaluation process, because there are moments in time. the capital process has a lot of sophisticated background how long is this access supposed to last from engineering perspective? and then you have w

chinatown has been known as an underserved community. i want to personally thank officials, the mayor, commissioner peskin for their continued support and dedication to public safety and resources to chinatown. thanks to you, we have more officers dedicated to you can wassing -- we have more officers working in chinatown. we have improved traffic safety and safety on muni we will continue to work on. thank you.

we're fighting to restore funding to community health centers that serve millions of underserved americans in rural communities, whether they live in kansas, ohio, or any of the other states that trump won. we're fighting to protect the dreamers who could be deported to countries they no little of because the president unnecessarily and cruelly ended the daca program. and we're fighting for parity and funding for defense and domestic spending in any budget deal. these are not partisan democratic priorities. if you put each of these priorities up for a vote, they would all pass with bipartisan support in the house and the senate. in fact, we could have passed each of these bills a long time ago, but instead of doing something that would actually help people, republicans spent months working as hard as they could behind closed doors to give the wealthiest 1% of the people in our country and corporations huge tax cuts. and now they're trying to convince the other 99% of the american public that this tax bill was a good deal for them. but that's another story and that's another example of misp

when you think about underserved areas, you tend to think of remote locations. the reality is, an underserved area is anywhere where the person that you need, who has the expertise for the problem that you have, is nowhere near you. low latency is crucial for things like surgery, because the response time has to be immediate, it has to be real. i could put on vr goggles like these, and when i move my hand, the robot on the other side will mimic the movement, with almost no delay. who knew a scalpel could work thousands of miles away?

wondering if their local healthcare center will shut doors or leaving medical residents to help underserved communities in limbo. i know we can put a stop to it without getting other investments. there are bipartisan solutions, now that republicans have step backed from their unnecessary government shutdown and say they're ready to work with us on responsible solutions, we need to tackle these together without delay. people across the country will be holding republican leaders accountable for their commitments and responsibilities. we will be as well. >> let me just stress what senator murray was talking about in terms of the children's health insurance program. we started in the finance committee with a bipartisan bill to make sure the children's health insurance program did not expire by september 30 up with that in place. then i came to the floor along with others week after week, 114 days before children's health insurance was reauthorized. the good news, instead of a two-year reauthorization that happen the last time around, we are able to get six years of full funding with increases.

we serve hundreds of thousands of underserved people who deserve the quality of care we provide. they have lives filled with trauma and in turn suffer from social, physical and behavioral issues that will go untreated if funding for community health centers goes away. i guess that's not urgent. if you rely upon a community health center for your health care. it is urgent. it's every bit as urgent as anything we've talked about in the last couple of days and weeks. the house bill does nothing on that. nothing for miners' pensions. nothing for pensions. nothing on community health centers. we're supposed to just accept that and move on and have another continuing resolution when they don't even address it in their proposal. here's another letter about community health centers. talking about the patients living in rural and underserved areas who are in areas where there is a great need for health centers. i guess it's not urgent for those folks in rural areas who depend upon these health centers. as i said, in pennsylvania, if you look at the total, rural and urban and everything in

on a docu-series that will soon be out, i started the gretchen carlson leadership initiative for underserved women. the list goes on and on for the jobs i've been able to do on this issue but you bring up an excellent point about the secrecy of settlements. our society has chosen two ways to solve these issues -- settlements where women can never tell you what happened and arbitration clauses in employment contracts that keep this issue silent and that's what i've been working on capitol hill to change. i'm proud to say last month i was able to introduce a bill -- bipartisan --in the house and the senate to get rid of arbitration clauses in employment contracts with regard to sexual harassment. the reason it's so imperative is because arbitration is a secret chamber. so these women complain, they come forward in many cases they're fired, they get sent to secrecy of arbitration and we never hear from them ever again. >> what about the men who are denying these things have happened? and what about the sort of spectrum of abuses, of wrongdoing? there's a big question right now, a little bit of

the stimulus, they pushed the money out the door before they knew where the maps were for areas underserved. we want to get the mapping right. the limited federal resource that does get spent on broadband buildout should be spent in areas where it's least economically attractive to the private sector. in other words, we don't need to overbuild, and we need to build where there's minimal service. 39% of rural areas in america, some 23 million people, lack access to modern day high-spied internet -- high-speed internet. so we've got a whole series of bills to lock at all of those issues and more. >> so you come from a uniquely rural area, you just said how large and diffuse the population is. very few people spread over a large area. what do you think are some of the better solutions for rural -- you talked about removing regulatory barriers that the state and federal -- or and local level. but what else could be done. more spectrumsome. >> you're always going to need the backhaul, so you need to get fiber out across these areas and using existing right-of-ways makes sense, but also i think w
