Nuclear energy in Texas (Sept. 21, 2026)
Description

On Monday's show: Gov. Greg Abbott announced last week that nearly $12 billion in Medicaid funding for Texas hospitals will be restored, ending a standoff with the federal government that began last December. We learn what the standoff was about, how it was resolved, and what it means for Houston hospitals and patients.
Also this hour: Houston is often referred to as the energy capital of the world. But what role can the city play in the future of nuclear energy? That's the subject of a meeting here this week organized by the Texas Nuclear Alliance.
Then, veterinarian Dr. Renee Poche of the Houston Humane Society answers questions about pets.
And the major professional sports leagues and unions are concerned about threats to athletes associated with betting. We discuss that -- and the final week of the Astros’ regular season.
