Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

Finally this morning, John talks to Nathan Worcester, National Politics Reporter for The Epoch Times.  John and Nathan talk about the latest developments in the 2024 Presidential Campaign -- from whether Biden really will be the Democrat nominee to who will be Trump's Vice President nominee.  (Not Mike Pence again? LOL. . . .)

Atop the 8 o'clock hour this Wednesday morning, we check back in with State Senate Minority Leader Ryan McDougle for a post-Crossover update from the General Assembly.

Next up this morning is CBS 6 Crime Insider Jon Burkett, who debriefs John about the latest area crime stories and statistics.

Love is in the air -- except not from Virginia Democrats for the Second Amendment, that's for sure.  Virginia Citizens Defense League President Philip Van Cleave joins John atop the 7 o'clock hour this Valentine's Day morning, for a conversation about the status of gun-related bills at the General Assembly.

For the latest installment of "Giving Tuesday," John welcomes the team from 2 End The Stigma -- Jill Cichowitz, Autumn Redford, and DEA agent Jon DeLana.  Jill, Autumn, and Jon talk about the dangers of fentanyl/fentanyl addiction -- and about the upcoming fundraising gala this weekend.

(You can learn more about 2 End The Stigma here and purchase tickets for the gala here.)

Soooo, right as Bacon's Rebellion namesake Jim Bacon was about to join us yesterday morning for his regularly scheduled weekly segment -- the studio phone stopped working!  (Conspiracy theorists, assemble. . . .)  Accordingly, in lieu of making a Monday appearance, Jim is with us on Tuesday here -- so as to talk about the latest stories from his website.

Joining John for a conversation atop the 8 o'clock hour is Mike Byrne, who is the Director of the Virginia Restaurant Association; John and Mike talk all about the meals tax crisis/debacle in the City of Richmond.  (I generally avoid editorializing here, but, boy -- what a big, incompetent government-wrought mess.)

Next up this AM is Mary Rooke of The Daily Caller.  Mary talks to John about the outfit's new documentary, Rigged: Death of the American Voter, which (as the title suggests) addresses major, systemic problems with our election infrastructure.

(You can watch Rigged here.)

Happy Tuesday, everybody!  To start with today, John talks to his own Delegate to Virginia's General Assembly -- David Owen!  John and David talk about Crossover (when the House bills go over to the Senate, and vice-versa), and about what Republicans in the minority can possibly do to thwart the Democrat agenda. 

Atop the 8 o'clock hour, friend of the show Dave Saunders -- of Madison+Main PR firm -- calls in to give John an assessment of last night's high-dollar Super Bowl ads.  What were the best?  What were the worst?  Dave lets us know!
