On Friday's show: There are numerous protests against President Donald Trump's policies planned across the country this weekend, including here in Greater Houston. A local Congressman offered more federal help to deal with potential riots in Houston, but local leaders expressed doubt about whether that would be needed here. But could scenes like we saw in Los Angeles of protestors clashing with police in riot gear against the backdrop of burned cars happen here? We consider Houston's history of protesting for some insight.
Also this hour: From law enforcement cracking down on people allegedly trying to sneak into the Astrodome, to delivery drones from Walmart headed Houston’s way, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
Then, restaurant owner Courtney Lindsay only learned the identity of his biological father a year ago. Now, a new documentary tells the story of finding his father and forming a relationship. Ahead of this Father’s Day weekend, we talk to them both. A screening of the documentary, Finding Ben: A Father & Son’s Discovery, takes place on Sunday, June 15, at 3 p.m. at the DeLuxe Theater.
And, ahead of a zydeco show this weekend as a part of the series Eldorado Ballroom Houston curated by Solange Knowles, we reflect on Houston’s role in the birth of that music genre.
