Hello Houston Full Episode - March 6, 2026

Описание: Today on Hello Houston, we discuss the big topics of the day, including President Trump firing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales withdrew from his re-election race after having admitted to an affair with a former staffer who later died by suicide, and more. Also, a study by Air Alliance Houston found more than 1,700 reports of unauthorized emissions from industrial pollution between 2017 and 2024, releasing more than 49 million pounds of pollutants into the air. Dr. Inyang Uwak, Air Alliance Houston Policy Director, discusses these results and what they mean for our region. Then, as college students head out for spring break, research suggests that nearly 25% of college women report some kind of sexual assault during their spring break trip. Jamie Ferrell, Director of Forensic Nursing for Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, discusses how to prevent such incidents, signs to be aware of, and what to do if an incident occurs. We also revisit Ernie’s conversation with singer, actress and former “America’s Got Talent” semifinalist Christina Wells. Plus, we share our Current Obsessions and have Last Minute Plans to fill your weekend.
