On Wednesday’s show: We discuss the latest developments in local, state, and national politics with Renee Cross and Nancy Sims.

Also this hour: A Palestinian man was detained at George Bush Intercontinental Airport for nine days with no apparent cause–we discuss that case and the implications for immigration policy.

Then, we chat with comedian Kym Whitley ahead of an upcoming pair of shows in Houston.
