Hello Houston (August 5, 2025)

On today’s Hello Houston, we hear Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss and weigh in on Texas Democrats facing several potential penalties for leaving the state to block redistricting at the top of the first hour. 

In the show’s first hour, we receive an update on President Trump’s tariffs and what we can expect from University of Houston Energy Fellow Ed Hirs, and we hear a portion of the latest episode of InnerVIEWS, where Ernie chats with Knots Landing star Donna Mills.

Then, in the second hour, we hear from Texas Representative Harold V. Dutton Jr., who discusses being one of the Texas House Democrats breaking quorum, by leaving the state to block redistricting.

Also, recently named CEO of the Holocaust Museum Houston, Gary Weisserman, discusses this new role and continuing the museum’s mission. Plus, Dr. Shubhada Hooli, a Texas Children’s Hospital pediatric emergency medicine physician, explains how parents can protect their kids from the summer heat.
