Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

In our 7:30 half hour, we check in with our Audacy colleague Michael Phillips, host of MP on the Mic on our sister station 910 The Fan.  John and Michael discuss the latest stories from the festivities in Paris (including local swimmers who have medaled in events).

In our 8:30 half hour, we hear from a spokesperson from The Heritage Foundation, Brian Phillips -- who, with John, chats all about this "Project 2025" that you've probably heard of. 

Movie time!  To close the show (and the week), we talk to our "Movie Guy," Mike Mayo -- who, in honor of the Olympics, picks a couple of sports movies (albeit winter sports movies) for listeners to give a look: Miracle (2004) and Slap Shot (1977).

Music: C(arolco)2 Fanfare (Jerry Goldsmith)

Happy "Friday Eve," listening fam! On Thursday's show, we talk about President Trump's Appearance at the NABJ conference in Chicago, the ongoing 2024 Presidential Race, the culture war that our "justice" system is waging, and the idea that men should be able to compete in women's sports at the Olympics.

In our first hour, John discusses whether President Trump should have gone to speak to black journalists yesterday in Chicago.

In our second hour, we get a Henrico County update and ask former Virginia Governor Doug Wilder to assess the candidacies of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

In our third hour, we continue to discuss the 2024 Presidential Race, and we discuss international politics and the so-called "justice" system.

In our final hour today, John continues to discuss President Trump's appearance yesterday at the NABJ conference -- and asks why men and women are competing against each other in Olympic sports.

John begins this morning by critiquing (1) President Trump's decision to attend the National Association of Black Journalists Conference yesterday in Chicago -- and (2) the way that the NABJ treated him while he was there.

Atop the 7 o'clock hour, we check back in with Tom Lappas, of Henrico Citizen.  Tom tells John about some of the latest developments in the suburban county.
