Hello Houston (December 1, 2025)
Description
On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Dr. Gary Yohe, a professor at Wesleyan University and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, who shares his thoughts on the current state of climate economics, finding solutions in climate action, and more in the show’s first hour.
Also, in the first hour, we explore how artificial intelligence can support, as opposed to replace, human creativity and ambition with Ezekiel Rivera, founder of QuantumZ Solutions.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we hear from Lesley Oden, president and CEO of the National Turkey Federation and Lindy Froebel, the federation’s senior vice president of science and policy, who join us to discuss turkey production in the U.S., food safety, and the future of the industry.
Plus, we’re also joined by Kathy Stokes, Senior Director of Fraud Prevention Programs at the AARP Fraud Watch Network, who shares advice on how people can avoid scams and fraud during the holiday season.
And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls saying he will not seek reelection for his Houston-area district, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth facing criticism for reportedly ordering a second strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat, and more.
