Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

In our 7:30 half hour, we hear from Gunnary Sergeant Jessie Jane Duff, who is the Veterans for Trump Executive Director.  Karen and Jessie discuss the news of the weekend -- as well as the reasons for veterans specifically to support President Trump's re-election bid.

Atop the 7 o'clock hour, we check in -- as we usually do on Mondays -- with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fox & Friends and The Brian Kilmeade Show.  Karen and Brian discuss yesterday's news, as well as the path forward for Democrats in 2024.

In our first hour, we discuss Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 Presidential Race.  What do the Democrats do now -- and who will President Trump's opponent ultimately be??

At the bottom of "The Family Hour," we hear from John, International Man of Mystery -- who calls in to give his reaction to the news that Joe Biden has withdrawn from the 2024 Presidential Race.

Happy Monday, listening fam!  With John traveling abroad, "The Job Judge," Karen Michael is behind the mic this AM -- and begins the show by offering her thoughts about Joe Biden's sudden exit yesterday afternoon from the 2024 Presidential Campaign.

On our final show for the week, John -- still live from Milwaukee -- evaluates the Republican National Convention.  Our guests are Paul Goldman, Joe Morrissey, Clay Hamner, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, and Mike Mayo. Cheers!

In our final hour today, Producer Dan fills in for John and talks movies and philosophy.

Dan closes the show by offering a "sneak peak" at a commentary piece that he's written for the new publication The Richmonder.

Music: "The Star-Spangled Banner" (Performed by the MGM Studio Orchestra, conducted by Jerry Goldsmith)

Also in the 9 o'clock's first half hour, Dan reminisces about his hero, the incomparable Jerry Goldsmith -- who died 20 years ago this weekend.

Additionally, Dan discusses the misnomer that America is a democracy -- much to the contrary, in fact.  (As Ben Franklin succinctly wrote, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for lunch.")

Music: "Overture" from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Jerry Goldsmith)

Finally this AM and week, we check in with our "Movie Guy," Mike Mayo, of Mike-Mayo.com.  Producer Dan and Mike talk about a "forgotten" movie, entitled The Linguini Incident.  They also reminisce about the incomparable Jerry Goldsmith, who died 20 years ago as of this weekend.
