Guest: Jeremiah Weinstock, Associate Professor of Psychology, Saint Louis University Investigators are still unsure what motivated a man to rain fire on a country music concert in Las Vegas last October, killing 58 and wounding hundreds of others. But, they’ve learned that the shooter was a serious gambler and they’re exploring whether that problem might be connected to the shooting. Scholars at more than 25 universities across the US say there’s too little research being done on the addictive nature of gambling and its effects on behavior. They’ve released an open letter calling on states and the federal government to put more resources toward learning how to prevent and treat gambling disorder.

Guest: Congressman Raúl Labrador, R, Idaho Republicans in Congress are poised to pass another short-term spending bill that will avert another government shutdown this week and allow for more time to work out a solution for the “Dreamers.” Those are, of course, the undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children. Some 800,000 of them are enrolled in a program created by President Obama called “DACA,” which allows them to study and work in the US without fear of deportation. That program will end in one month under President Trump’s order. Idaho Republican Congressman Raul Labrador is co-sponsor of a bill introduced a few weeks ago that mirrors President Trump’s immigration priorities.
