(Originally aired: March 22, 2017) Guest: Frank Wildhorn, Songwriter and Composer of hit musicals such as “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Jekyll and Hyde,” and “The Scarlet Pimpernel” For more than two decades, Frank Wildhorn has captivated audiences worldwide with his popular musicals including "Jekyll & Hyde," "The Scarlet Pimpernel," and "The Count of Monte Cristo," to name a few. Unlike many professional composers who started learning music around the same time they learned to talk, Wildhorn taught himself to play the piano as a teenager, and before he wrote for theater, he wrote a huge hit for pop star Whitney Houston.

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.
