NightSide with Dan Rea – Rundown for 4/3/18

YouTube Headquarters Shooting  In a developing story, a suspected female shooter at YouTube headquarters is confirmed dead. Witnesses stated that multiple rounds of gunfire were heard, which sent the all of the employees in a frenzied exit out of the building. WBZ NewsRadio will bring you the latest information on yet another mass shooting.


Social Media Vetting for US Visa Applicants!  The government is proposing to collect social media accounts spanning the past five years from everyone who applies for a US visa. In this day and age of terrorism, this aims to act as preemptive measure, but it poses a concern of potential discrimination towards immigrants of unfair visa denials. Joining Dan to weigh in on this proposal is Arwa Mahdawi, a writer for The Guardian and digital brand strategist. Do you think this proposal is too extreme, or will this help the US better vet potential terrorists? Call in with your take at 617-254-1030 and be heard!


Professor Alasdair Roberts In Studio!  Alasdair Roberts is the Director of the School of Public Policy at UMass Amherst and is also a political science professor. He’s authored multiple books, the latest due out later this month, Can Government Do Anything Right? He joins Dan in the NightSide studio to discuss his book and they both will uncover what exactly the government does well and poorly. Have you been frustrated overall with our government?
