On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Darren Bush, a professor of law at the University of Houston Law Center, who breaks down a newly filed bill aimed at strengthening reviews of antitrust cases following the settlement of the Live Nation antitrust lawsuit.

Next, Houston Grand Opera General Director and CEO Khori Dastoor joins us to tell us all about their upcoming 2026 – 27 Season, which includes six operas, and to share her thoughts on the current state of opera.

In the show’s second hour, we discuss a new investigation that’s raising questions about how federal prosecutors are handling immigration cases at the southern border with Perla Trevizo, a reporter with the ProPublica–Texas Tribune investigative unit, who also explains how this is affecting the courts.

Plus, we learn about The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary of Houston's upcoming annual four-day designer shopping event, Chic Boutique, with Lesha Elsenbrook, chair of the organization's Reflections on Style event.

And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Houston ISD's state-appointed board of managers approving outside management for four top-performing high schools and pre-K centers, ICE agents possibly remaining at U.S. airports even after TSA workers get their paychecks, and this past weekend’s ‘No Kings’ protests.
