We hear about projected state budgets that are being presented to the legislature on Thursday’s show.

This hour as well: This Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending TikTok’s operations in the US for a period of 75 days. A gap between those who utilize the platform and those who create policy on it has been highlighted by the platform debate. Is there another factor at work here, or is it just a matter of speech vs safety?

Next, the latest movieThe Brutalist follows an architect who immigrates to the US and encounters chances as well as difficulties in a new, sometimes unwelcoming nation. We discuss the movie on this month’s episode of The Bigger Picture before speaking with a local immigrant success story from Houston.

Additionally, before tonight’s performance at Cullen Performance Hall, Drew Lynch discusses how he overcame a stutter by learning stand-up comedy.
