Hi, I’m Phil McCausland, a reporter for NBC News, where I focus on the rural-urban divide. I’ll be taking questions at 1:30 p.m. ET on my reporting about how technology glitches at the Department of Veterans Affairs have prevented veterans from receiving benefits for months. You can read about how it’s affected vets’ lives and the Trump administration’s role in it all here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/veterans-haven-t-receive-gi-bill-benefits-months-due-ongoing-n934696.

Over the past two years at NBC News, I've covered everything from President Trump's inauguration and the resulting protests to hurricanes and mass shootings. I've reported on the flagging dairy industry and struggling farmers, crumbling infrastructure in Mississippi that has forced the state to close thousands of bridges, and the mental health crisis in Montana.

What is the government doing to further the technology of these alleged IT mishaps? As I understand it the government on many levels is very behind on technology in keeping track of Records but excelling in technology where surveillance on our own citizens is, what is your take on it?
