On Wednesday's show: The U.S. House approved a framework last night for a multitrillion-dollar plan covering energy, defense, immigration, and tax policy. We talk over what it means and what happens next as we discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: We revisit our 2016 conversation with retired U.S. Secret Service agent Clint Hill, who served five U.S. Presidents and was in Dallas when John F. Kennedy was killed in 1963. He’s the agent who famously leapt onto the back of the presidential limousine and shielded First Lady Jackie Kennedy as the car raced to Parkland Hospital. In the conversation, he also recalls what happened the night before here in Houston. Hill died on Friday.

And filmmaker and Houston native Li Lu talks about the new film screening series she's launching called HTX MADE, which is hosting its first event Friday -- a screening of the documentary, The Strike.
