In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we discuss the United States’ shrinking immigrant population and how this could impact the country’s economic outlook with Bill King, a fellow in public finance at Rice University’s Baker Institute.

Then, we’re joined by legendary American trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who discusses his career and upcoming concert at the Hobby Center with the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Plus, we also hear from Samantha Smart, the writer, producer, and lead actor of the award-winning film Charliebird, who tells us more about the film, which was filmed in the Houston area, where the idea came from, and what went into filming it.
